If I upgrade, I can win prizes

Chapter 11 Troubled Times
There was a slight weightlessness, and there was light in front of my eyes.

After getting used to the sudden change from night to day, Lu Ang began to look at his surroundings.

Looking around, there are all dense weeds and sparse trees. In the distance, you can see the rolling mountains.

No human beings were seen, and no ferocious monsters were seen.

It looks like a wild place!

After confirming the temporary safety, Lu Ang began to sort out the items he carried.

A cloth bag made of old clothes, which contains eight fist-sized raw stone spirit stones, a bottle of grass spirit pills with 9 pills left, a jade slip from "Iron Body Kung Fu", and a small half bottle of mother river water. The set is quite clean. A change of clothes.

He did not bring a mining pickaxe. Since the Stone Crushing Technique was upgraded to Level 1, he can already cast this earth magic by himself without relying on a mining pickaxe. Although the mining pickaxe is of good quality, as a weapon, It's really not easy.

Seeing that everything he carried was there, Lu Ang immediately sat down cross-legged and began to use his energy to sense spiritual power.

Fortunately, he sensed the spiritual energy. Although it was very thin, the efficiency of absorbing it was extremely low, far inferior to the previous mine.

As far as he knows, the spiritual energy in the Lingshi mine is richer than ordinary places outside. In the mine, there is almost a middle-level spiritual energy intensity. This level can be placed in ordinary casual repair shops outside. For a training cave that is rented out, the monthly rent costs several spiritual stones.

This can be regarded as one of the hidden benefits of mining slaves.

Since this different world has spiritual energy, there must be a place rich in similar spiritual energy. Once found, the efficiency of one's own cultivation will naturally increase.

After the most critical condition was confirmed, Lu Ang stood up and began to search for traces of humans.

He now desperately wanted to take a good bath and eat and drink.

Then, get to know the world better.

Fortunately, his current physique is not as good as before, and he can perform Qing Kung Fu with half the effort. With just a tap, he can fly tens of feet away.

After a while, he climbed up a high mountain and looked around.

Soon I discovered a village. There were regular fields outside the village, but no people were seen.

After running down the mountain all the way to the outside of the village, Lu Ang's heart sank.

The fields outside the village were obviously deserted, with sparse wheat seedlings, overgrown weeds, and dry ridges. It looked like no one had taken care of them for a long time.

Walking into the village, it was also in the same dilapidated state. Doors and windows were broken, houses collapsed, and even the wells were dry and could not produce any water. It was a desolate scene.

what's the situation?Where are people?I didn't see a body either.

Fortunately, there is a road leading outside at the entrance of the village, which is much better than being aimless in the wild.

The small road merged into the main road, and the main road merged into the larger road. Lu Ang didn't care about anything else, he just kept walking in one direction of the main road.

This is a stupid method, but it is also the most effective method. No matter what, you can always encounter other human settlements.

The method worked as expected. After running at full speed for almost two hours, he finally saw other people.

They were groups of twos and threes, supporting the old and carrying the young, dressed in rags and as skinny as firewood, like beggars and disaster victims.

Only then did Lu Ang notice that the trunks of many trees in the woods on the roadside were bare and all the bark had disappeared.

Is this a disaster?If the wells dry up, it should be a drought?Imperial officials were corrupt as usual and there was no relief?
Fortunately, Lu Ang's current image is not much better. He slowed down and blended in naturally with the victims, slowly moving forward with them.

He didn't ask random questions and chose to listen.

I don’t know why, but the languages ​​are similar:

"If you keep persisting, we will arrive at Suishan City soon."

"Xiaobao, don't sleep, Xiaobao, daddy is here! Daddy will give you some water."

"Don't stop, keep up, keep walking."

"Brother, I'm so hungry."

……

There were very few people who spoke, and most of them were weak. It seemed that these were all victims of the disaster.Let's follow them to that Suishan City first.

It's not impossible to take the first step, but I don't know what the rules are for entering the city in this world. I don't have an identity here, so it won't be very smooth for me to enter the city alone. Even if I have to pay for the entrance fee, I can't afford it. I can't give my precious soul away. Give them Shi Yuan Stone, right?
The best way is to blend in with the victims!Even if the victims are not allowed to enter the city, we can still think of other ways when the time comes.

As the victims moved forward slowly, the sun slowly set in the west, and it was almost evening. Finally, Lu Ang saw the city built on the mountain on the horizon not far away.

After a rough estimate, according to the scale of the mortal world, this is already a big city.

After walking for a while, the goal is getting closer and closer...

suddenly!

"The wolf rider is coming! Run!"

"Run!"

"Stay on the road! Run in both directions!"

"Honey, give me your hand quickly!"

……

There was a noise and shouting behind them.

Lu Ang turned around sharply and saw a figure appearing on the mountains far behind him.

I don't know if it's because of his cultivation or the strengthening of his iron body skills, but his eyesight is much stronger now.

You can tell at a glance that they are knights riding on giant wolves!
They wore armor made of animal skins, helmets with beast heads, and held broadswords, axes, and bows and arrows in their hands, all filled with a savage and fierce atmosphere.

Then, they waved their weapons and started cheering, and then urged the giant wolf under them to turn into a zigzag black line and rush down the mountain.

what's the situation?Still fighting?
After estimating his strength, Lu Ang decided that it would be better to escape first.

The other victims had the same idea. They used their remaining strength and fled towards the city not far away.

Soon, Lu Ang heard the screams of others behind him, the sound of knives cutting into bones, the sound of blood splattering, begging for mercy, roaring, cruel laughter...

The other victims fled faster, but they probably hadn't eaten for a long time, and most of them were thin. Many of them lost strength before running far and fell to the ground.

Lu Ang could have run faster due to his Qinggong skills, but he did not choose to lead the way. Instead, he mixed in with the first echelon of people escaping, surrounded by a dozen relatively strong victims.

Fortunately, the city was not too far away, and everyone finally made it.

Then, fell into despair.

The city gates were closed, and on the high walls, soldiers in armor pointed their bows and arrows directly downward.

It was obvious that they would never open the door for these victims.

The wolf riders chased them closer and closer, but their pursuit became slower and slower. Soon, the thousands of victims who had been deliberately driven away were driven to the city like sheep.

There was a closed city gate in front of him, and a ferocious wolf rider behind him. A group of victims were caught in the middle, running left and right without knowing where to go.

Then, the wolf riders all stopped outside the bow and arrow range of the city wall, roared at the victims, and began to drive them away.

It was obvious that they were driving away the victims to help them attack the city.

The victims were not stupid, they just hid under the city wall and did not move.

The wolf rider took out his bow and arrows and started shooting.

Wails of pain erupted one after another under the city wall.

It was obvious that the victims had no way to attack the city. Wolf Cavalry also knew that these victims could not attack the city, and the people on the city also knew that the victims could not attack the city.

Perhaps these desperate cries are the purpose, a mockery, or a threat.
