TOP SECRET: Adventures in the Dark Continent

"This is very tiring ..." Liu Yang was walking while carrying dozens of beast hides with him.

Drops of sweat were already falling from his face like a waterfall. The hot sun illuminated the short grass plains.

It has been several hours since Liu Yang was walking across the plains and found no one else. He only encountered beasts during his journey.

Unless necessary, Liu Yang had no desire to kill these beasts because it was a waste of energy and time.

"What is that?? Is that a mirage ?? " Liu Yang looked at the horizon and saw several small houses. He doesn't know if this is real or not.

"My only option is to go over there and check it out" Liu Yang thought for a while before deciding to go to the place.

If it's a village or something, he could ask for information about where he was currently.

Walking for a few minutes, Liu Yang finally arrived at his destination. The place was a village with a few dozen residents. His arrival attracted curious looks.

When the villagers saw the leather and fur on Liu Yang's shoulders, their eyes shone with greed, but when they saw the blood and the sword on his waist. They calmed down and hesitated.

"Hello. Dear traveler, what are you looking for? " An old man with thin white hair appeared before Liu Yang. He seemed to be the leader of the small village.

"Hi, I'm a little lost and I need information. If you tell me something valuable, I will give these leathers or fur as a reward. What do you think?" Liu Yang felt the greedy eyes of the residents. He decided to use this to his advantage.

"Dear traveler, you can be sure that we have useful information for you. You can rest in the village while we prepare something for you to eat "The old man was very happy with Liu Yang's words. At the same time, a cold light shone in his eyes, but it was quickly hidden.

Liu Yang noticed this cold light and did not comment. He pretended he didn't notice anything.

Hearing Liu Yang's words, the residents were excited. If some information can be exchanged for beast skins, residents will be happy to make that exchange.

The place where Liu Yang was staying was a small straw and mud hut, the place was simple and fresh. There were a bathroom and a room. The kitchen was communal and was in the middle of the village.

"Finally a bed to lie" Liu Yang lay down happily. He stretched out his arms and leg to stretch.

After several hours of walking, this is the first time he has laid on a soft bed.

"Sir, do you want some food and water?" A timid voice was heard outside. From the sweet, soft tone, Liu Yang knew she was a young woman.

"Thank you" Liu Yang opened the door and saw a young girl holding a tray of food and a jug of water.

The young woman appeared to be about fifteen or sixteen. Her appearance was average, she would be the type of person that would be common in the crowd. Her clothes were a little dirty with dust and mud stains can be seen on her arms and legs.

"Sir, I hope you like the village food" The young woman placed the tray on the bed and the jug on the floor. She sat in a corner and waited for Liu Yang to eat.

Occasionally, she would look at that delicious food. The young woman looked hungry and eager to eat.

"Are you hungry? You can answer, I will not care about that "

"I ... I ..." The young woman stuttered. She was afraid to speak the truth.

Hunger…

The girl's stomach suddenly rumbled.

Her face was red as a ripe apple. This scene was beautiful to see.

"I ... I ... Sir, I'm hungry, but ... This food is for you" The young woman was a little shy and embarrassed to talk about it.

"You can eat. You're more hungry than I am "Liu Yang saw the young woman's thin appearance and realized that she doesn't eat well.

"Sir ... I can't do this, the food belongs to you" The young woman did not dare to eat the food.

"The food is mine, right? I can do whatever I want with it. You can eat "Liu Yang placed the plate in front of the young woman. He also put some water for her to drink.

"Sir, thank you ..." The young woman thanked timidly. She started to eat food quickly. She feared that the food would disappear.

"Eat calmly. The food will not disappear from your face "Liu Yang gave her some water. She choked a little on the excess food.

"Thanks..."

Liu Yang watched the young woman eat slowly and enjoy the food. It took her some time to finish eating, but she was satisfied.

"Miss, are you satisfied?"

"Yes. Sir, thanks for the food. From now on, my life belongs to you. I will be your slave, maid, or anything you want "The young woman knelt before Liu Yang and made an oath. Her head was down on the floor, which prevented Liu Yang from seeing her shy and red face.

Speaking those words took a lot of effort for the young woman.

"You can get up. I don't need this "Liu Yang found it funny that he got a maid after he arrived.

"Sir, am I not good enough? I know I look average and I'm dirty, but I'm still a virgin." The young woman was startled by Liu Yang's refusal. She understood that her body was not attractive enough for someone powerful like him.

If he managed to carry dozens of beast hides with him. He must be strong enough to kill these beasts.

The young woman was not silly, she knows many things about how the world works. It was necessary to be strong to be respected and feared. But since she was just a weak young girl, she needs someone to trust.

"Miss, is your life worth less than a plate of food?" Liu Yang stared at the girl and asked.

"I ... I ..." The young woman did not know how to answer. Liu Yang's penetrating look scared her.

"Sir… Life in the village is worth less than a plate of food, that's the truth. Many will betray each other for a simple piece of meat "The young woman composed herself before speaking casually. She has seen many bad things in this village.

The only reason she is alive and remains a virgin because someone is helping her. Even if there is little help.

"Let's put this matter aside. Miss, I would like to ask you a few questions "Liu Yang dropped that topic and changed the subject. He understood some hidden things from the young woman's words.

The most important thing now is to know the information about where he is currently.

"Sir, you can call me Callie. That's the name my parents gave me "

"Okay. Miss Callie, can you tell me more about this place? I'm curious to know where I'm at" Liu Yang needed as much information as possible before deciding what to do.

"Sir, aren't you from this region?" Callie found it a little strange not to know about the location. But she soon realized that he was a wanderer.

"Yes. I'm just a traveler who likes to roam the world and discover new things. I lost contact with my companions after we were attacked by a large group of creatures. Miss Callie, can you tell me more about this place? Or country where am I? " Liu Yang made up an excuse.

"Ohh… You are amazing to be able to escape. Many cannot escape after being attacked. "

"I was just a little lucky"

"Sir, the name of this place is called Plains of the Wolf's Fang. This place has this name because at the end of these plains there are a lot of gray wolves. You have to be very careful with them. This region is located within the Temore Kingdom, one of the nine kingdoms on the Xinia Continent.

The Temore Kingdom is located in the north of the continent, because of this, the climate here is hotter and more humid than in other regions. The rainy climate facilitated agriculture in our kingdom.

The village is located in a remote area of ​​the kingdom's capital. The nearest city is several months on foot, a few months on horseback, and a few seconds using the transportation matrices.

Like any region on the continent, its dangers are also hidden here. Like the creatures you killed. But the worst time is at night. Sir, never go out at night, this is the time when the most horrendous creatures appear" Callie explained vaguely about the Continent of Xinia. She didn't know if Liu Yang was from the kingdom or not, so she told him everything.

When she talked about the creatures of the night, Callie shivered with fear. She had seen some of these creatures before.

The things she knows were taught by the elders in the village.

"I see…"

(Xinia Continent? Is that what the continent is called by the inhabitants of the continent? The climate within the continent is very different from the initial zone. This place does not even appear to be covered in complete darkness. It seems that some things have not changed… Here is the even though in the initial area, the night is the worst nightmare of all) Liu Yang understood many things from the information provided by Callie.

"Miss Callie, do you know who the strongest people in the kingdom are? Or the village? " Liu Yang wanted to know if people on the continent can even level out like him or only people outside the continent can do that.

"The strongest person in the village is the white-haired elder you saw before, according to him, he is at level 18 or 19. The strongest person in the kingdom? Sir, I don't know the answer to that question. I have never left this village since I was born. The things I learned were taught by the elders" Callie only knew things that were taught by the elders.
