"Young Man Mint Coke, the fence around our village is old and cracked, can you cut down some trees to help repair it?"

"Heroine Ice and Snow, Mrs. Mo's roof next door needs to be re-roofed. You should go find a suitable thatch first."

"The acre of land outside the village can't be finished in one day, can the two young heroes help me?"

Under the strong request of the village chief, these villagers sent out task requests one by one.

Basically, they are trivial matters, and they are closely related to their lives. There are no hidden tasks that everyone expects.

Fortunately, the mentality of the players is not bad, knowing that it would be nice to have these errand tasks in the early stage of the game, and it is also possible to experience ancient rural life.

Only then did they know how poor the living conditions of these villagers were.

The difficulty of the task is not high, so everyone readily agreed, and then each started to work on the task.

The villagers also started to work for a day, but when they got together, they would talk about the five young heroes who suddenly appeared.

The members of the hunting team did not go to the mountains again. They had a very good harvest yesterday, and today they will take the fur and processed meat to the town to sell.Otherwise, the meat will definitely go bad due to the weather.

Thanks to yesterday's giant python, each household was allocated some python meat, which finally smelled of oil.

Lin Xiang knows that the game system will issue tasks and rewards to players, so he doesn't need to arrange everything by himself, he just needs to use this method.

He planned to go to the town with the village head Wang Minghai later to see what was different about the sacrifice spirits over there, and then he would buy some needed things and come back.

But before that, Lin Xiang had to get some money for himself.

"That's right, the land is good or bad, so there will always be a salary. I don't know what kind of salary the Heavenly Court will give these gods."

Such a thought flashed through Lin Xiang's head, and he settled down and began to search within his jurisdiction with his divine sense.

Within a radius of nearly ten kilometers is his jurisdiction, and all kinds of secrets and pasts are buried in the land.

There are graves, those that were buried deliberately, and those that were accidentally left behind.

For Lin Xiang, the funerary objects in these mortal tombs are not worth removing, only the coins, gold and silver suspected by others are enough.

After the vicissitudes of life changed, Lin Xiang not only found some gold and silver, but even found several small veins.

"Coal mines, iron mines, oil, gold mines, copper mines, basalt and marble, and underground water sources are also quite abundant."

Lin Xiang has no plans to develop these minerals for the time being, and it is impossible to rely on ordinary people to dig so deep, but when the public beta players come, there will definitely be people who are willing to dig with pickaxes.

The most annoying thing is that there is no Lingshi mine and Lingmai.

By the way, he also confirmed the route of starting the fire, and planned to lead the ground fire to the backyard of the Earth Temple, so that the ground fire stove that was opened could be placed properly.

The closed beta players have arrived, and you can start to help them build weapons for sale.

"I hope the game system will reward these players with more missions." Lin Xiang said to himself, only if the player has spirit stones or other treasures in his pocket, he can act as a profiteer to collect spirit stones.

At present, he has a blueprint for making a mortal weapon in his hand, which can make the Black Snake Sword.

The surging ground fire surged out from the depths of the ground, but it was easily restrained by Lin Xiang and became the energy source of the ground furnace.

"When I get back from town, I'll try refining the weapon and see if I can dig some iron ore outside."

Lin Xiang felt that he had some double standards. The minerals in his jurisdiction did not move, so he insisted on collecting minerals from other places.

……

"Uncle Xiuyuan, Second Brother Xie, Xue Kai, and I have gone to the town to sell prey. Please take care of the village."

Village head Wang Minghai put the processed prey on the donkey cart and prepared to go to Qifeng Town.

Seeing that the sun is already high, if you don't go, you will miss the market.

Wang Xiuyuan nodded, and said: "Go, pay attention to safety on the road, and buy more food by the way. The food harvested last year is almost gone."

"I understand, I hope the price of grain will not rise too high, otherwise I will really not be able to survive!"

There was a severe drought last year, and the harvest of crops and grains was generally not good. Coupled with the heavy taxation, every household had no surplus food.

Thanks to the fact that Dongshan Village relies on a large forest, it is possible to go hunting and pick up wild vegetables and fruits from time to time, otherwise the villagers would have to eat grass roots and bark.

It is precisely because of the continuous disasters, the people's livelihood, and the large number of dead that there are all kinds of lonely ghosts haunting the dynasty, which intensified the turmoil of the dynasty.

Now the land has manifested, but there is no way to ripen the crops on the ground in a short while, and the current moment is what is left unanswered.

Lin Xiang followed the donkey cart with a few taels of silver he picked up and rusty copper coins in his arms, and the three people in the cart didn't even notice that anyone was following them.

Level up, practice skills, and possess magical weapons, even if you go out of the jurisdiction, you will have a strong self-protection ability.

The cultivation world is huge, and this kind of mortal world without spiritual veins can already run amok.

Obviously it was only from the village to the town, and the distance was relatively short, but the three of Wang Minghai felt like they were going to the execution ground.

They seem to have great resistance and fear of the official road outside the village.

Lin Xiang could even hear the three strong men silently praying for their protection in their hearts.

This world is too chaotic, even if demons and ghosts are rampant, wild beasts, monsters and even bandits are also numerous.

A village without sacrificial spirits cannot survive, and even if there are sacrificial spirits in the village, if there is no government to repair official roads, it will not be able to travel, and it can only be trapped in a corner.

The human race can only be forced to gather together, and only with official roads can they pass to the outside world, otherwise they need to open roads in the wild.

Starting from Dongshan Village, this official road is not wide, and can accommodate at most two donkey carts or horse-drawn carts.

On both sides of the gravel is an endless wilderness, the vegetation is deep and deep, and no one knows what danger is hidden.

"I heard from Uncle Xiuyuan that there used to be farmland on both sides of this road, but now it has turned into this." Wang Minghai looked to both sides while driving the car.

Xie Hu sat at the back of the car, feeling the bumps and unevenness, and regretted: "It's a pity that there are so many fields, it would be great if they could be used to grow crops!"

"Who says it's not? The crops are not harvested right now, and there's not much land left. I really don't know what will happen next year."

"By the way, when will the imperial court come to maintain and repair the official road this year? I think the charms on the side of the road have faded a lot." Xue Kai asked, "Don't cut off our only passage into the town."

Wang Minghai shook his head, "I used to come to the door in May every year, and it has been postponed for so long. When we get to the town later, let's inquire about it."

For a while, everyone sighed and remained silent, full of despair for the future.

The sound of the donkey's hooves continued, and Lin Xiang followed slowly.

He was keenly aware of the deterrent atmosphere of a cultivator on this road, and spells were engraved on the roadside rocks every 500 meters.

These spells are useless in the eyes of ordinary people, but they can effectively deter ghosts and monsters, making them dare not approach the official way easily!

"There are spells on the road connecting each village to the township. No wonder it needs to integrate many villages into one. The setup and maintenance costs are really not low."

Lin Xiang knew that even if these spells were to be mass-produced, it would require a huge investment of capital and manpower, which might increase the burden on the court.

During the day, the official road only needs to prevent the collision of wild animals and monsters, while at night, it needs to deal with all kinds of lonely ghosts and evil spirits.

There is basically no lethality, more defense and rebound.

Lin Xiang silently memorized the appearance of these spells in his mind, and prepared to draw them himself if he had the opportunity.

After walking for half an hour, the entire official road was empty and deserted.

However, just where Wang Minghai and his group didn't notice, the spell that was supposed to take effect had quietly worn away.

Just as the donkey cart continued to move forward, a tree root suddenly appeared, blocking the two wooden wheels of the donkey cart like a tripping rope!

The donkey tried to pull forward, and the wooden trailer behind was lifted up directly.

"careful!"

Wang Minghai lost his balance and fell to the ground after screaming in the air, then immediately drew out the long knife at his waist and stood up.

The other two rolled on the ground twice, and their bodies were crushed by the gravel, excruciating pain.

"it hurts!"

"what happened!"

At this time, animal carcasses, fur, and scales were scattered all over the place, and the wooden trailer was also torn apart.

They stood back to back, staring warily around.

"Who? Stand up!"

"Which friend is joking with us?"

Wang Minghai shouted loudly, in his impression, only human race compatriots are capable of attacking him in the official way.

In the past, people often hid beside the official road, specializing in robbery.

Ordinary villagers will not haunt official roads unless necessary.

Once you come to the official road, you are either going to exchange money, or you have already exchanged money, in short, you are all fat sheep.

That's why some people with high martial arts skills have such crooked ideas.

Later, more and more villages suffered losses, and those who chose to escort prey or food into towns and cities became the most powerful people in each village.

At the same time, as the wilderness became more and more dangerous, there were fewer and fewer scattered villages, and the heroes of the green forest might not be able to squat for a visitor for ten days and a half months, so they gradually became safer.

Wang Minghai looked in all directions, but Xie Hu next to him touched him with his elbow, his voice trembling slightly, "Village chief, look, it's a tree demon!"

The roots of the tree were like spider webs, wrapping the poor donkey into rice dumplings.

The gray-brown tree roots penetrated into the donkey's body and began to suck its flesh and blood.

It should be in great pain, but the donkey never said a word, and even shook its tail slightly, not knowing whether it was being anesthetized or falling into a hallucination.

"Damn dryad, let it go!"

Wang Minghai was terrified at first, but when he thought that this donkey was the only animal in the village that pulls goods and pulls mills, he immediately took courage from the bottom of his heart and brandished a big knife to chop at the root of the tree.

The shining big knife looks very sharp, and many wild animals in the forest are afraid of this big knife.

But it chopped on the root of the tree, and only made a small gap before being bounced off.

This move seemed to anger the tree demon, and the tree roots grew thick with leprosy, and began to entangle Wang Minghai and the others, as if they wanted to suck their blood clean!

"Help!"

"There are monsters!"

On the desolate land, spells lost their effect, and evil spirits invaded.

Just when Wang Minghai and the others thought they were about to die, a crimson sword light shot from a distance!
