Apocalyptic Dark Age

"What is this? You want me to see this stone?"

Huo Yan was very depressed about the stone basin placed on the table. It seemed that he was not bored enough to play with stones with Gao Feng, right?

"Please help me take a look. I found it in the insect's nest. I always feel something is wrong..."

"What's wrong? Isn't it just a stone?"

Huo Yan muttered with a sullen face, that is, Gao Feng, if someone else was playing tricks on him like this, he would throw the stone basin at the other person's face out of hesitation, and then he sniffed and asked:

"What is it? It smells so good..."

Gao Feng stopped talking and looked at the stone basin with his arms folded. Huo Yan also felt that something was wrong. He couldn't help but get closer to the stone basin and smelled it carefully. Gao Feng's heart twitched. It seemed that this thing was taken out of the insect's poop. ?

"No, this is not a stone..."

Huo Yan said to Gao Feng seriously. After speaking, before Gao Feng could stop him, he stretched out his tongue and licked the stone basin, which made Gao Feng feel sick in his throat. After hesitating for a long time, he decided not to tell the truth, lest Huo Yan Angry from shame.

"A little salty, a little bitter..."

Chirping, Huo Yan answered in the affirmative. Without Huo Yan's explanation, Gao Feng knew that it was definitely the smell of insect feces. Is it possible to eat sulfur without it being bitter?

"By the way, in the past, many bug excrements were used in traditional Chinese medicine?"

Gao Feng comforted himself in his heart with this reason that was not a reason. Just treat Huo Yan as taking Chinese medicine, right?

"It's definitely not a stone..."

Finally, Huo Yan carefully placed the stone basin on the table, looking serious and calm like a master of appreciation, but then said uncertainly:

"Is there anything unusual about this thing?"

"In bugs..., the nest will emit light. If there is light outside, this thing is a stone, just like fluorite..."

Gao Feng almost said that he was shining in the insect excrement, but at the critical moment, he shuddered and let himself go around.

Huo Yan didn't notice anything was wrong, he nodded solemnly and said:

"This thing is extraordinary. I have never seen it before. According to my many years of experience as a treasure hunter, it must be a treasure. Keep it well. Maybe you can use it sometime..."

"Um, as a treasure hunter, don't you know how to taste everything with your tongue?"

I didn't want to ask at first, but I couldn't help it, so I finally asked, and then looked at Huo Yan with curious eyes.

Huo Yan raised his brows proudly and said to Gao Feng like a teacher: "If you want to call me treasure hunter, it's a long story..."

As soon as these words came out, Gao Feng knew that Huo Yan was going off topic again. Maybe because he saw Huo Yan licking bug shit without stopping him, Gao Feng felt guilty, so he made a serious attitude of listening to the lecture and listened to the dragon gate formation that Huo Yan put up.

Huo Yan's upper lip and lower lip were like enemies who could never live in peace. They kept colliding and spitting out words that were like legendary stories. Gao Feng was in a trance for a while. He didn't know whether it was because of the move of his lips that the words came out, or whether Are you talking just because you have something to say?

"The treasure appeared after the World Extermination War. At that time, the world was in chaos, the population was reduced sharply, species were destroyed, and many places were dead. No matter what kind of creature was dead, it was called a death zone, and the largest zone was the Doomsday battlefield.

Later, the heaven and earth changed, and new species appeared. They absorbed what the underground people called radiation in the air, and appeared in the world in all kinds of strange ways. The previous species were basically destroyed, and the remaining humans could only rely on new species to survive. But not all of these new species It can be used, but many things are harmful to the human body. For example, medicinal materials of the third level of heaven and earth, which would make the blood boil to death of ordinary people, are good medicine for Jialuo.

Therefore, the development of each new species is in exchange for living human lives. If you are unlucky, you will become a dead person, but if you are lucky, you will become rich overnight if you discover a new medicinal material or treasure. This is how the treasure hunter was born. The threshold is very low, and ordinary people can take it on, but these people are the ones who die the most, and there are also some Garos. They are just a little stronger than ordinary people. They have no systematic knowledge and no tips for identifying poisonous substances. The same will die……. "

If the first half of Huo Yan's boasting about Gao Feng was a bit perfunctory, in the second half, Gao Feng listened attentively to what was going on. He has always had this question, why has the world changed so much, so much that it makes him feel like he is in another world? All kinds of magical plants, all kinds of strange species, and all kinds of weird abilities.

"Actually, according to the underground people, Garo should be counted as a mutated creature. They deny that we are human beings. They once tried to sow discord among ordinary people, which caused great chaos at that time. A large number of ordinary people took refuge in the underground people. Over there, they learned the knowledge of the underground people and used this knowledge and skills to help the underground people attack Jialuo. They forgot that the reason why ordinary people survived was because Jialuo gave them shelter and took them to find food. Later, they had to implement hierarchies. The system prohibits ordinary people from learning the knowledge of underground people, and prohibits them from intermarrying with Jialuo. This is how today's mainstream world has formed..."

Speaking of the latter part, Huo Yan's expression began to sink. In the past, there was no distinction between right and wrong, but it was always a history piled with the corpses and blood of countless people.

"By the way, the world is actually very big. The place we live in is only a small part. The same is true for the areas controlled by the Family Joint Conference. In the peripheral areas, there are still many undeveloped areas. These areas are the paradise of the Garos. , they explore these areas, hunt powerful beasts, collect various resources and treasures, and sometimes encounter Garos from other places..."

Suddenly, Huo Yan mentioned something that ordinary people have never understood in their lives. Gao Feng understood it as soon as he heard it. After the nuclear war, the earth was filled with all kinds of dangerous radiation. Many people mutated in the radiation and became weird creatures. Some people survived. Unable to survive starvation, they die naturally. The remaining ones finally survive, but they are also attacked by underground people who want to break out of the ground. Whether it is reconstruction or development, they are in trouble.

As time went by, the first group of Gallo who had a sense of responsibility either died in battle or died of old age. Those who spoke out later would no longer continue the ambitions of their predecessors, and began to live in ease and enjoyment, evolving into a noble class. Instead, they will no longer explore the world and find new settlements.

If you think about it this way, the treasure hunters have inadvertently inherited the legacy of their predecessors. Although they are here for wealth, they have to admit that they are better than the families who only fight among themselves and the underground government who only snoops on the surface population. many.
