Chapter 291 - One Night in the Green Land (1/2)
Zhang Che suddenly felt something in his heart as he followed Luo Wenjun further into the green land. Looking up to the sky, he saw a nearly unnoticeable tiny black dot circling at least a few thousand meters in the sky. It flew over their head, then quickly disappeared from his sight.
Luo Wenjun looked at Zhang Che in surprise, sighing with praise, “Woah, Brother Zhang’s senses are so sharp!”
Zhang Che asked, “Brother Luo, is that… a scouting-type subdued beast?”
Luo Wenjun nodded, replying, “Right, that’s one of the two legend-quality beasts He Luotu owns. It possesses extremely strong scouting ability. Even at night, it can survey the surrounding few dozen kilometers clearly with the help of the ‘starlight’.”
Zhang Che came to a sudden realization. The last doubt he had was finally solved.
Indeed, with such a powerful scouting-type subdued beast circling over their heads, none of the beastmasters with ill intentions would dare to cause any problems in the green land, or act inappropriately.
As he went deeper into the green land, Zhang Che saw beastmaster after beastmaster. There were men and women, with various skin and hair colors.
Every one of them seemed friendly, smiling at one another, as if this place was truly a paradise.
When they arrived at the plains in the middle of the largest stream in the green lands, there was a wide spread of tents in a picturesque disorder visible. If he didn’t know any better, he might have mistaken himself as having arrived at a pastoral grassland.
Going along with the rules set in place, Zhang Che gave up two of the four animals the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon had frozen to death, then followed Luo Wenjun to an empty space to set up camp.
This area was the land assigned to Luo Wenjun’s group of three for their camp.
It wasn’t like you could set up camp wherever you liked. Everything was bound by strict rules, unless you chose to leave this area and settle down somewhere else in the green land.
However, even if you didn’t understand He Luotu’s intentions, it was clear that this area was the safest place within the entire green land. Absolutely no one would dare to cause strife here.
After pitching their tents, Luo Wenjun had Luo Da and Luo Er clean up the two animals at the stream, while he and Zhang Che sat down at the open area outside their tents and started chatting.
Other than their strengths and family background, the two of them spoke about everything, as if they had known each other for ages.
By the time Luo Da and Luo Er were done cleaning the two carcasses and came back, Zhang Che and Luo Wenjun had a bonfire set up. In the camp, there were people specifically assigned the task of gathering dried leaves and branches. Those who gave up half of their food could get them for free. Afterwards, the four of them worked together and purposely left a few pieces of meat aside, then split the remainder into four shares, applied spices to them, and roasted them over the bonfire.
When the bonfire was started, some people actually came over to them and distributed a bunch of fruit, as well as some greens like mushrooms and vegetables.
What surprised Zhang Che the most was that they were even given a big pot.
It was really a large metal pot!
Could there be people who specifically brought pots into the secret plane?
It wasn’t just one or two of them. Judging from the scale of the camp site, there were at least a hundred!
However, Luo Wenjun soon answered the doubts in Zhang Che’s heart.
“Haha, did you find it very strange, Brother Zhang? These metal pots were actually produced by a certain beastmaster’s metal-attributed subdued beast. That subdued beast isn’t very strong, but is skilled in shaping metals. It just so happened that someone found an iron mine in the green land, and that’s where all these pots come from!. Everyone can use them to boil soup and water, greatly improving the lives of the people here.”
Zhang Che was convinced. There truly wasn’t anything too bizarre in this world. Such subdued beasts actually existed! It was simply a must-have for long journeys!
