Chapter 266 Stronghold

There are only a few dozen households in Zhao Tianlai's human settlement, with a total of less than 200 people. The place is surrounded by mountains on three sides, with only a winding path leading inside. The rest of the place is tightly blocked by towering trees. If it weren't for It's so close that you won't even notice a human settlement here.

Zhao Tianlai and Zhou Wei parked the super off-road vehicle outside, broke some branches to cover it for concealment, and then walked inside along the path.

There are traps everywhere in the woods at the entrance. At the end of the winding path is a village gate made of thigh-thick logs. Even if a lone monster occasionally breaks in here, I am afraid that it will not be able to enter the village and will be killed. Outside the village.

"Wait, it smells like blood!"

Zhao Tianlai walked to the village gate and was about to call the door when Li Mu suddenly changed his expression and said in a deep voice.

Zhao Tianlai looked wary, pulled out the knife from his waist and took two steps back, raised his head and sniffed inside the settlement.

"Yes, it really smells like blood!"

"Be careful, let's go in and take a look!"

Zhou Wei and Li Yi also looked wary. Zhou Wei held two daggers, and Li Yi put on a pair of gauntlets with iron spikes. He stretched out his hand and pushed, violently pushing the heavy village door open.

As soon as the iron door was pushed open, a strong smell of blood suddenly came out. The smell of blood was as if at least hundreds of people had died.

There are twenty or thirty small buildings scattered in the valley basin. The upper floor of the small building is occupied by people, and the lower floor is a sheep pen. Now most of the doors and windows of these small buildings have been smashed, and there is blood everywhere in the sheep pen. And the carcasses of one-horned black sheep. Most of the carcasses of these one-horned black sheep have bite marks on them.

There was deathly silence in the entire settlement. Apart from the smell of blood and corpses, there was not even a hint of light in the darkness.

"This place was attacked. These guys not only eat the one-horned black sheep, they even eat people!" Zhao Tianlai and the others quickly checked the surroundings and said, "The body of the one-horned black sheep has not started to rot. It is estimated that it will only take a day or two at most." Someone attacked this place before!"

"This place is basically filled with the corpses of one-horned black sheep. There are very few human corpses. I'm afraid most of them have been taken away. And the door outside is intact. Maybe there was someone inside and outside who attacked this place!"

Li Mu said in a deep voice.

What monsters like to eat most is humans. Human flesh is far more tender than monster meat. In those monster towns, the upper-level monsters eat all humans, and only the lower-level monsters eat other monsters. As for those god slaves The demon servants eat half-demon beasts like the one-horned black sheep.

This leads to the fact that even if the people of the God Slave Legion attack a human settlement, they will probably leave most of them alive and drive these people back to the Demon City and Demon Town to serve as food for the upper-level demon clan. Even if these guys want to Even cannibals dare not eat everyone.

The people in the Divine Slave Legion are also cannibals, because they don't regard themselves as human beings at all.

"This place is only 70 to 80 kilometers away from Jiangcheng, and is in the outer control area of ​​​​Jiangcheng. I didn't expect those guys from the Divine Slave Legion to be so bold and dare to quietly attack the settlement here!"

Zhao Tianlai said fiercely.

"Since the small fortress of Chengdu won the defense battle, I wonder if there are high-ranking monsters who want to take revenge. There have been a lot more attacks during this period!"

Zhou Wei glanced at Li Mu and said, they all know that Li Mu came from the small fortress of Rongcheng, this information is in the above information.

"Since the God Slave Army has already attacked here, it probably won't come back. Let's find a place to rest first and continue to track the God Slave Army tomorrow!"

After Zhao Tian came to talk, Li Mu and the others found a relatively quiet small building in the settlement. This small building was the only small building in the entire settlement that did not have a sheep pen underneath.

"There are no signs of fighting here, and there are no signs of valuables being turned over. Maybe the traitors in this settlement are the people living here!" Zhao Tianlai entered the small building, looked around and said with a sneer.

"Look at the decoration here. The guy who lives here doesn't have to raise sheep, and his life is pretty good. But he betrayed humans and became a traitor. When he gets to the place where the monsters live, he will regret it if he doesn't live as good as a pig or a dog!"

Zhou Wei also said with a sneer.

"The things here have nothing to do with us. Living in the settlements outside is inherently life-threatening. We just have to do our own thing!"

Zhao Tianlai found a flashlight in the room and turned it on, then swept everything on the table to the floor. He took out a map from his storage bag and spread it out on the table.

"Our current location is here. It used to be called Xiaohexi Village. It is only about 70 kilometers away from Jiangcheng. It is still in the marginal control area of ​​the garrison. Once the news of the accident here spreads, the garrison in the nearby town will definitely coordinate the search for the Divine Slave. Legionnaires!"

"I don't think the people of the Divine Slave Legion are so bold as to attack nearby towns. The most they can do is contact the traitors here and quietly destroy this settlement. Then they will definitely leave here and return to them. The original location of their activities was a hundred kilometers away from Jiangcheng, and that was their activity area!"

"But since the people of the Divine Slave Legion dare to come here to kill people, I think it is very likely that they will attack a small town to show their presence and please their master, here!"

Zhao Tianlai reached out and pointed on the map and continued, "This is Beihe Town. It is the town farthest from Jiangcheng in a straight line. This town is not big. There are only one or two thousand people in it. If you control this place, you can continue to occupy the vicinity of the town." More than a dozen human settlements, large and small, have turned Beihe Town into the headquarters of the Divine Slave Legion!"

"Beihe Town? Then tomorrow we will go check around Beihe Town!"

"Well, we will rush to Beihe Town tomorrow, but we can't go directly to Beihe Town, otherwise we may not be able to match the large forces of the Divine Slave Legion, and we will still have to wait for other large units on missions to arrive!"

Zhao Tianlai nodded and said.

"Junior Li, do you have any opinions?"

Zhou Wei turned to look at Li Mu and asked.

"Three seniors, I have little experience, and this is my first time doing a dangerous mission. All three seniors can make the decision!" Li Mu said with a smile.

"Okay, let's arrange it like this. There is a kitchen here, and I will cook. After we finish eating, we will rest separately. We will continue setting off after dawn tomorrow!"

Zhao Tianlai said.

"I'll help Brother Zhao, Li Yi, you accompany Junior Li to the living room to talk!" Zhou Wei rolled up his sleeves and said.

"OK!"

Li Yi and Li Mu were sitting on the sofa in the kitchen. Although the sofa was relatively old, it was well maintained. A person living in a settlement could still afford the sofa. This showed that this guy was really living a good life. Maybe the person who lives here is the village chief of this small settlement.

Li Yi rolled his eyes and kept looking for words to chat with Li Mu. Li Mu sneered in his heart, wondering if Zhao Tianlai and the others were ready to take action.

It is estimated that Zhao Tianlai and the others feel that they have gained Li Mu's initial trust. In addition, the sky is high here and the emperor is far away, and there is not even a human hair around. It is a good time to kill people and buy goods.

Li Mu and Li Yi chatted wordlessly. Zhao Tianlai lit the fire, and soon there was a fragrance coming out of the kitchen. He brought braised monster meat, and found some eggs and wild mushrooms from the kitchen. , and quickly prepared a few dishes. Zhao Tianlai is also a good cook.

"Haha, brothers, eat first. Tomorrow we will fight with the Divine Slave Legion. It is only right to fill our stomachs first!" Zhao Tianlai brought out several plates of food with a smile on his face.

Cold-cut braised beef demon meat, stir-fried pork slices with mushrooms, boiled eggs, braised mutton, stir-fried lamb liver, and garlic lamb tripe. Soon the table in the living room was filled with dishes. Although there were not many dishes, they were all A great dish to go with wine.

Zhao Tianlai and Zhou Wei filled the table with dishes, placed four large bowls on the table, and then took out a box of liquor directly from the storage bag.

"This is serious Maotai. Before Maotai town was destroyed by monsters, my elders got a few boxes from there. Now there are fewer and fewer genuine Maotai. My brothers are in for a treat today!"

"Come on, come on, brothers, we are destined to get together. Let's not go home until we get drunk!" Zhao Tianlai and Zhou Wei filled up the four ocean bowls with heroic faces, and each of them picked up a bowl and said.

"From now on, we are all brothers. We have killed monsters together and drank wine together. Then we are good friends and good brothers. Come on, let's do it first!"

Li Yi also picked up the bowl and spoke loudly and proudly. Only Li Mu remained unmoved.

"Three seniors, this is a wilderness, and something happened just now, so I'm afraid it won't be peaceful, not to mention we have to get up early tomorrow to kill monsters, so drinking too much won't be good!"

Li Mu said calmly.

"Uh, this...!" Zhao Tianlai's expression suddenly froze, and he couldn't pick up the bowl in his hand or put it down.

"But I'm happy today. I met several senior students who are so close to each other. It can't be justified if I don't drink. I drank this bowl of wine!" Li Mu said with a cold look in his eyes, changing the subject, and said with a smile on his face.

"Yes, yes, yes, don't drink too much. You won't get drunk even if you drink a few bowls less. I'll do it first!" Zhou Wei smoothed things over, raised his neck and drank up the full bowl of white wine in the big bowl. net.

"Done it, done it!"

Zhao Tianlai and Li Yi also drank it all in one gulp. Li Mu glanced around and saw that the three of them drank all the wine. He tilted his neck and drank the extremely spicy liquor in one gulp.

"Eat the food, eat the food. When Zhen and the Divine Slave Army take action, we may not have time to prepare these dishes!"

As soon as the wine was drunk, the atmosphere suddenly became lively. Soon everyone was drinking, eating meat, punching each other and bragging. The atmosphere was warm and harmonious, as if a few brothers who had the best relationship, life and death, were gathering. Bowl after bowl of white wine was consumed, and by the time a table of dishes was served, When they finished eating, Li Mu and the four of them drank two boxes of liquor without realizing it.

Zhao Tianlai and the others kept toasting Li Mu intentionally or unintentionally. Li Mu drank at least four or five bottles of two boxes of liquor by himself. If he were not so strong now, and the martial monk was even more powerful, he would probably kill someone just by drinking like this.

"Junior, you've drunk too much. Let's go. Brother, I'll take you back to your room!" Zhao Tianlai said with his tongue hanging out as he staggered to help Li Mu up.
