For beautiful things, the appreciation ability of any race is the same.------------Aegean Continent recognized proverb.

  **********************************************************************************

  Although the people of the continent were shocked by the legendary demon beast paradise, Southern Cross Star Forest, in their own way, they didn't hold back at all in the subsequent training.

  The barbarians refused the halberds that Liu Zhen had bought for them, and only accepted the leather armor. It wasn't because the halberds were bad, but because they simply didn't have the same level of martial arts skills as the bear men, and couldn't use them at all. They suddenly pulled out their own hidden weapons from behind their backs, leaving Liu Zhen and several beauties almost with their jaws dropped in shock.

  The people of the Dou tribe chose a huge Osprey beast's hind leg bone as their weapon, with a large white bone rod standing on their shoulders, which indeed had some momentum - the momentum of the Dou tribe.

  Liu Zhen was forced to admire the imagination of these Tibetan mastiffs.

  Even with their training, Liu was also a bit at a loss.

  Kidding, when did Liu Zhen learn baton techniques? Scouts would only fight with bayonets. He bought the wolf tooth club mainly because its design looked more sinister.

  What made him even more depressed was that after the "dense array" passed through the village of Bogu, Liu Zhen only knew that the wolf tooth stick actually weighed only 1,100 pounds.

  "A slash to the waist! Damn it! Human merchants are indeed human merchants!" Liu Zhen was truly impressed, didn't expect that this merchant would still outmaneuver him in the end.

  Basic hand-to-hand combat skills and weight-bearing aerobic exercises eventually became the main focus of the Mastiffs, and Liu Zhen's research on the structure of various parts of the body made these apprentices benefit greatly.

  It took Liu Zhen a lot of effort to teach these mastiffs how to throw flying knives, and the stubbornness of the mastiffs was something he had to learn about.

  "Why learn to throw a flying knife, Master Richard?" Bella asked, clinging to Liu Zhen, chattering incessantly: "With our strength, we can smash stones with one stick!"

  "Idiot!" Liu Zhenhong angrily said: "Before using the stick to hit, first give the opponent a flying knife, this is the king's way."

  Bella shook her head in confusion, unable to grasp the mystery behind it all.

  "Let me put it this way, what if your enemy is stronger than you?" Liu Zhen asked.

  "We Dog Tribe fight together, always! We're not afraid!" Bellamy said with his neck stretched out. This tradition was a bit shameful in Bimon, but the honest Bellamy couldn't lie to his own father.

  "Why don't you just give him a flying knife, and everything will be solved!" Liu Zhen shook the shiny flying knife in his hand, coaxing him gently: "This flying knife can be coated with deadly poison, as long as it hits him, won't everything be solved?"

  "Richard!" Helen couldn't take it anymore: "How can a nobleman like you teach your followers to use something that violates the aristocratic code?!"

  "Shut up, Helen!" Liu Zhen continued to stare at Bellamy: "Think about it, the thrill of hunting down a powerful opponent is far greater than the pleasure of ganging up on someone!"

  "What if we run into a human wizard? Won't that be just as disastrous?" said Bellamy: "Their magic is always more powerful than ours!"

  Liu Zhen was so angry that he slapped his forehead, and was almost driven mad by this stubborn guy.

  "Put your left hand on the tree!" Liu Zhen said.

  Bella absent-mindedly placed her hand on the big tree behind her that was spread out like an umbrella.

  Liu Zhen's agile movements swiftly drew out the dagger, and with a flick of his wrist, he sent a faint silver afterimage flying out. "Whoosh" - the willow-leaf dagger shot straight into Bellamy's palm on the tree trunk.

  "Then use your flying knife to stab the hand that the magician is using to cast his spell!" Liu Zhenpeng shouted loudly.

  "Medic!" Helen shrieked, calling out to the medic who was following them while cursing Liu Zhen: "Richard you idiot, why did you have to hurt loyal followers!"

  "It's nothing!" Bellamy pulled out the gleaming dagger from between his fingers, lost in thought.

  At the call of Helen, a shaman from the Pig tribe, Nokadanmas, who was sent by Viscount Simark, immediately rushed over with his medicine box and nervously helped the Tibetan Mastiff check the injury on its paw.

  Nostradamus is the best and only seer under Viscount Westmac, as for why he was called "Nostradamus", it's because this pig seer heard that Nostradamus was a great astrologer prophet in the human realm, and he is currently the best prophet in Borg village, and has always been determined to become the greatest prophet in the kingdom of Mong.

  "Unhurt?" Witch doctor Nokhtdama was stunned.

  "Nonsense! With this kind of accuracy, am I still a priest?" Liu Zhen was never fond of his own clansman.

  This guy is indeed a rural quack, always emitting a strange smell from his body, it's hard to say whether it's his own stench or the smell of medicine. Liu Zhenpeng disregarded his strong objections and ordered Gu De to take a brush and drag this guy down to the river to wash him more than a dozen times, but the smell still wouldn't dissipate.

  Ever since she found out that it was this witch doctor, Nuo Cha Dan Ma Si, who had helped Helen predict that "Richard" would be her future husband, Liu Zhen had thoroughly disliked him.

  Liu Zhen was unforgettable about the prince named Richard's handsome appearance.

  Especially when he looks in the mirror.

  Actually, Liu Zhen thinks he's quite handsome too, but you have to look at him from the side under a lamp.

  The problem of the flying knife was solved just like that, and even later on, when nothing happened, the pandas started learning to fly knives too. The martial arts talent of this group of pandas left Liu shocked and moved, if only all his followers were like them.

  However, the loyalty of the Mongolians also moved him. Since entering the endless Danube wilderness, they have been actively searching for water sources, hunting, and their keen sense of smell has led to frequent gains. The dry rations they carried with them were mostly saved. Liu Zhen would sometimes be delighted, and casually rewarding them with a cigar would make them rush up and kiss his boots for half a day.

  Come on! Liu Zhen was speechless with laughter and tears.

  Helen told him that the Dougs were the most loyal tribe in Baizhong, and the Mastiffs were even more so. A Mastiff would serve only one master for its entire life, and once it decided to follow someone, it would remain faithful no matter how incompetent the master was.

  He's struck gold. Liu Zhen thought to himself.

  After walking into the wilderness for two weeks, Liu Zhen realized why those who knew about his and Helen's adventure to the Southern Cross Star Forest would laugh so ridiculously. The reason was that as soon as people heard about entering the Southern Cross Star Forest, they became so worried.

  Following Uncle Xi Ma's instructions and the slightly yellowed and blurry map of the Mong Kingdom made from pigskin parchment, Liu Zhenshen carefully chose to advance along the border of the wasteland towards the Southern Cross Star Forest.

  Because he heard that the more you go into the Danube wilderness, the more ferocious the robbers are - this is not to say that he is afraid of robbers, but rather he doesn't want trouble.

  He doesn't want trouble, but that doesn't mean trouble won't find him.

  Since leaving the border patrol's control range, countless ugly creatures like old mice, wearing tattered leather armor and holding various rusty weapons, sneak out of the dark day and night to make a surprise attack.

  This batch of strange creatures, like fat mice, were too numerous to mention. They also had a stench that made people vomit. They harassed the adventurers day and night, making Liu Zhen feel annoyed and helpless.

  Liu Zhen was secretly harboring a very despicable idea, he suspected that these earth spirits might have evolved from the rats in the swamp of Bimeng, of course this thought could not be told to Xiao Hu Li, because they were the most despicable thieves and robbers on the barren land that frequently appeared in Helen's abusive vocabulary - the earth spirits.

  There are too many of these goblins, they often come in a large group, this kind of charge is simply child's play in Liu Zhen's eyes, without even fire cover, they just come to seek death.

  The Panda Warriors and the Mastiff Warriors swung their weapons casually, knocking down a patch of them, and the dark mass of goblins fled again.

  The tenacity of these goblins really made Liu feel shocked and amazed. Although they had been defeated time and again, these goblins still fought on with all their might; they were simply experts at fighting a war of attrition. The next time they appeared, their numbers hadn't decreased in the slightest - it was as if this desolate plain had become an ocean for the Goblin people.

  Those goblins were shouting "Hoo-ah! Hoo-ah!" and harassing the adventurers one by one, finally causing a big commotion. Liu Zhen had an experience where he was in a tent with Aiyue, undergoing a "Double Cultivation", just as they were about to get intimate, Aiyue's buttons were being fumbled with, when these guys interrupted their foreplay.

  This time Liu Zhen was really furious, releasing four terrifying Cloud Qin Jinren, which made this batch of fat mouse-faced goblins fall like a landslide, shitting and pissing everywhere, and finally even hung their corpses on the dwarf trees in the wilderness as a warning.

  Perhaps it was the adventurers' display of power that was too terrifying, and from then on, the goblins did not dare to launch any more suicidal charges, only daring to follow far behind, sneaking along in a ghostly manner.

  Liu Zhen was thoroughly speechless at these robbers' patience.

  After all, as a member of an intelligent race, these robbers were scheming and they found a powerful helper.

  The sky was clear and cloudless, with a gentle breeze blowing softly.

  Golden vast expanse, distant clouds and mist-shrouded Taemu Raya Snow Mountain, two robust boars pulling a large cart, adventurers seem to be walking in a beautiful scroll.

  Three little beauties were all talking and laughing in low voices about their trip to Witherstone that day, all three of them couldn't stop praising the handsomeness of Prince Richard. Just as they were chatting happily, a giant troll with a height of three zhangs swung its huge wooden stick and suddenly rushed out from a tall grass nest, charging straight at the carriage pulled by two strong wild boars where the three little beauties were talking and laughing. Because they were downwind, the Mastiff warriors didn't even have the chance to sense the existence of this troll with their keen sense of smell before it appeared in front of everyone.

  Suddenly, a nearly naked and ugly terrifying guy rushed out in front of them, and the three girls instantly turned pale.

  The cannibal's club only came once, and the two-headed draft pig's spine was completely smashed. This cannibal was a single-headed cannibal, with only one ugly head, and the dull, turbid eyes were flashing with lustful light. The thing under his crotch propped up the tattered cloth pants, stretched out his big hands, and hugged towards the three stunned beauties. Another hand waved the wooden club that was still dripping with fresh blood, without looking, and smashed it towards Liu Zhenzhen and Wu Yi who were sitting in the car smoking cigars.

  The ogre tribe's favorite is beauty, and this hobby is as notorious as their reputation for killing, and the ogre Kalu is no exception.

  Unlike other strong orcish clans, the tribes of ogres on the Donau Steppes are organized by family; the strength and prosperity of a tribe is directly proportional to the number of ogre families it has. Each ogre family typically consists of ten to twenty female ogres, while there is only one male ogre - the strongest one.

  Karu is not the strongest "Double-headed Cannibal", but his strength should not be underestimated.

  Karu's age has already made him somewhat old, and the weapon he used to use was a stone hammer, but now he can only use a wooden stick. He was originally the leader of a small family in the depths of the Danube wilderness, a single-headed cannibal tribe, but after growing older, this position was taken over by another young and powerful male cannibal. The old Karu wisely did not resist, for in the wilderness, the elderly companions were always the first to be abandoned, it is a law.

  The robbers within the wasteland appear to be scattered, but in reality, they have strict territorial divisions between each other. Once a "second bun" incident occurs where one crosses into another's territory to forage, conflicts between robbers are also common. The old and timid Kālù didn't have the courage to share a meal with other robbers, so he became a wandering man-eating demon, drifting along the edges of the Danube wasteland, sometimes full, sometimes hungry. Although the border isn't as safe as the deeper parts of the wasteland, which is a haven for robbers, Kālù was already very satisfied because he had encountered a group of gnomes.

  The earth elementals of the Danu Steppes, the frostfur behemoths of the forest, and the parasitic crabs of the ocean have one thing in common: they all like to be near powerful creatures that are not skilled at foraging. They provide food for these powerful beings, who serve as their protectors.

  The old Carlu gladly accepted the invitation of the earth spirits, although the food of the earth spirits was not very palatable, but Carlu, who was not picky about food, quickly adapted. After being full and warm, the only regret for the old cannibal demon was that the earth spirit women were really too ugly and smelly, making him feel suffocated.

  Recently, the goblin tribes on the border have been surrounding and annihilating a small group of travelers. Among them are three super-beautiful women, causing every goblin tribe's blood to boil. If they capture these three beauties, it would be enough to recruit three of the strongest ogre tribes to serve as their protective umbrella! With such power, they could occupy the best territory deep in the wasteland and from then on avoid this dangerous area near the border, where the Mongol army frequently conducts cleansing operations.

  The power of the travelers also made the goblin tribes suffer greatly, and several of the largest goblin tribes that started moving were heavily killed or injured; even one of the goblin tribes didn't have a single warrior survive after being ambushed.

  Karu's earth spirit tribe, having learned of this news, relied on the protection of a man-eating demon and united with several other remaining earth spirit tribes to prepare for a surprise attack.

  When Carrot learned that there were three great beauties among the travelers, he agreed to this plan without hesitation.

  As long as the most fearsome Olphen giant warrior on the northeastern border is with him, the remaining Piggu warriors, although old and frail, still have enough confidence in their own cannibalistic powers to crush them all into the mud and serve as fertilizer for the earth.

  Although several battle-hardened gnomes warned Caru that this group of travelers seemed to have a bear man from the Beiluo tribe and a lion man from the Lein tribe, Caru and the leader of his own gnome clan did not believe it at all. The Beiluo tribe's bear people were based in the Southern Cross Star Forest south of the Kingdom of Bimon, and the Lein tribe was a royal family, how could they possibly appear on the northeastern border?

  The numerical advantage has made these robbers dizzy, a big ambush circle quietly formed in the hearts of the robbers.

  When Karu heard his partner's signal, the wooden stick and the earth spirit warriors who were hiding in the bushes rushed out. He realized that he had come to the right place this time! Even in the depths of the wilderness, in the most powerful cannibal tribe, it would be impossible to get such a beautiful woman!

  The place he chose to lie in wait was excellent, and as soon as he parted the grass, he appeared right in front of the big car pulling a beauty. He had complete confidence that he could resolve the battle within three breaths, and then take several beautiful women to the cave in the wilderness for a small exercise.

  Wu Yi Nuocha Danma Si, due to his special identity, was also allowed by Helen En to sit in the car. However, he voluntarily sat in the front seat and took on the role of a temporary coachman. As he watched with wide eyes, the terrifying man-eating monster flattened the two large boars pulling the carriage with a wooden stick, and then started hitting himself, nearly fainting from fear.

  Fortunately, Liu Zhen was also beside the three beauties, puffing on a cigar, and hastily pulled out the "dense array", blocking this powerful and heavy blow. The carriage shook violently, if it weren't for the Mongolian craftsman's pursuit of sturdiness, the carriage would have almost fallen apart.

  The shaman, Nochadamus, slowly regained his senses and was shocked to discover that his Lichard, a white-robed quasi-war priest, was wielding an enormous wolf-toothed club and battling the fearsome cannibal demon with great relish. With one swing of the club, he sent the demon's wooden club flying, and not only that, but also landed a solid kick on the demon's chest, sending it tumbling backward several steps, rolling around in circles on the ground, and finally landing flat on its backside in a thicket of grass.

  Nuo Chada Ma's eyes widened in incredulity as he stared at his master, whose eyebrows were twitching. He almost had the illusion that it was not Master Richard who was fighting the man-eating demon just now, but two demons of the wilderness wrestling with each other.

  The brave goblins who were lying in ambush rushed out and saw that the cannibalistic demons they had been relying on for a long time were knocked down with just one glance, all of them let out an "oh" sound and dispersed like birds and beasts.

  The giant Groteus wobbled as it stood up halfway, and a small figure had already jumped onto its shoulder. The tiny Guoguo, about the size of a bean, stood agilely on Groteus' shoulder, one hand grasping its ear and the other fist punching its eye socket with a loud "thud". The thick-skinned Groteus stumbled, its eyes shining like stars, and almost fainted after staggering.

  Gud let out a loud roar and rushed over, one foot trampling on the goblin's throat, pulling out a spear from behind his back with both hands grasping it, ready to stab down.

  "Let me!" Evie stood up from the car with a furious face, her hand drew a semicircle in the air, and a light blue ripple flashed by, forming a magic water arrow.

  "Don't kill him!" Liu Zhenhuan waved the "dense formation" wolf-toothed club in his hand, interrupting Aiyue's spell: "The big boar that pulled the cart is dead, let this little guy help me pull the cart."

  It seems like today is the last day, and I won't talk about that nonsense of being a good person or not. Today's update is around 6,000 words.

  Tonight I'll finish writing my last book review, and from now on, I'm afraid I'll be spending my days crazily typing away, feeling depressed.

  Brothers~~~~Happy New Year~~~~
