Chapter 125
Author: Captain of the Youth First Crazy Squad
.................
Following the refugee-like crowd, they headed to the alternate cave road that they had already sent someone to explore.
He found that it was out of tune with the collective gloomy atmosphere, and the smiling Clooney seemed to be the pistachio in the crowd.
But what surprised him was that the others in the crowd told him that Croni's father was actually killed when he went out to investigate the surrounding environment half a month ago.
It's been a while, but now...
"What? You've been looking at me like this? Are you obsessed with me?" When she noticed Luo Mo's gaze, Croni immediately looked over and covered her mouth with one hand, showing a wicked smile.
"Uh....I just heard that you are....thirteen?"
"Thirteen years is not too young, but if you want to marry me, you must at least take ten catties of food as a dowry!"
Originally, I wanted to say that I don't have that kind of strange interest, but Chroni's words made him dumbfounded.
He always felt that something was wrong, he couldn't help frowning and asked in surprise:
"...Thirteen years old, not young??"
"—Do you want to say that I'm getting old?!" Croni misunderstood Luo Mo's sigh and feigned anger.
"No no no, I'm just... how should I say it? My head is a little dizzy."
The conflict of values made Luo Mo couldn't help but wonder if the other party was joking with her, but...she didn't seem to be joking at all.
In my heart, I don't know what to say about Chroni's over-maturity, except for lamenting that the poor's children are in charge of their homes early.
But if you think about it seriously, it seems that it is not incomprehensible. Croni feels that she can get married at the age of thirteen, and it is even a bit late.
Because of what he knew in ancient times, the average life expectancy of people was very short when the army was in chaos, and people in ancient times were easy to suffer from even a cold, and even minor trauma, so they would eagerly hope to get married and have children earlier, generally twelve or thirteen years old. There were even times when they were married at a young age.
As far as Luo Mo feels, they probably don't understand science. They don't understand that if a woman is not mature enough to marry and have a child, it is not only harmful to her body, but also that the child she gives birth cannot be too healthy.
Of course, you may know, but because you don't have children soon, it is estimated that there is no chance to regenerate and you are forced to speed up. And the human beings in this world, no matter which country or era they are compared with, seem to be even worse off... Maybe they can have children at the age of ten?
After all, for them, as long as they take one step out of the settlement, a little carelessness is collective annihilation.
Except for the herbivores at the bottom of the food chain, or the weaker carnivores, basically as long as they encounter anything, the other party is 80% hungry, and what awaits them is a massacre.
The gods and their retinues, as well as the fantasy species and elves that were born on the same planet as human beings, as well as the demon species created by the demon king in the fantasy species, etc. There are fifteen ethnic groups with various birth situations. Humans are overwhelming monsters.
As long as they see them, humans can't even escape.
In the blink of an eye, it will be found by following the vines, destroying the entire settlement and turning it into a reserve of food... Of course, this is limited to races such as orcs, and it is more difficult to survive.
For the human beings in this world, it is better to encounter higher-ranking races such as goblins and elves than to encounter inferior races like orcs. Let them die more simply.
As for resistance.... Although the last-to-last marine species cannot use magic like the orcs, they can charm everything in the water. When they see it at the beach, they can't escape. They can turn people into their toys in minutes. .
The penultimate orc race, with the physical ability of any adult individual, can easily slaughter the entire settlement.
Therefore, as long as they are discovered, they will die. The only difference is how to die. Even if the six races of the highest level are too lazy to pay attention to them, they are still quite dangerous.
Those races, except for giants, basically do not land, but landing is a battle. With a wave of their hands, the mountains can be razed to the ground, which is enough for humans and other lower races to be destroyed without reacting at all.
The tremors caused by giant walking can even cause earthquakes, causing the caves and underground where they live to collapse.
But...it's such a weak human being, Luo Mo heard Croni say that although they can't speak Tianyi, they can speak Orc, Mori, Sea, Demon, Vampire, Fairy and many other languages.
Not only language, but also text, not only language and text, but even encrypted text can be cracked.
It is said that it is the hard work of human beings, relying on word of mouth, written records, and all conceivable methods, to inherit the nature, language, and even habits of other races to this day.
....but honestly, he personally couldn't understand it at all.
It's not that there is no way to understand the human effort here; it's simply that there is no way to explain this situation logically.
Because this is not something that can be done by effort and sacrifice. For example, no matter how hard you work, it is impossible for a child to reach out and pick off the stars in the sky.
First of all, even though many of the monsters live alone, but they are strong, no matter how low-level the monsters are, human beings will become flesh if they touch them. No matter how hard they prepare, no human being can kill them. of the demon species.
After all, the fifteen races have super sensory abilities that are beyond the reach of human beings, and it is impossible for them to be ambushed by humans, so the possibility of capture is naturally 0.
The collective action of the orcs and the sea-dwelling species is also an impossible opponent to defeat, and there is no possibility of capture.
Among the fifteen races, apart from those who specialize in sweeping loot and intercepting other people's intelligence, no one normally learns other people's words and languages.
But it is also impossible for that kind of person to go out by chance, to be seriously injured and to be caught, and to be a soft persimmon who happened to tell human beings everything they know.
At the end of the day, I can't tell if I don't understand the language. After all, no race will learn the same language as the hairless monkey in their hearts, just food and ants.
Moreover, goblin species, forest elves and the like, even if they are dying, they can turn hundreds of humans into dust with just one word, and there is no place where humans can take advantage of the situation.
It is impossible to lie in ambush and listen. Fifteen races are all monsters. If they encounter them, they will die if they are discovered. There is no reason at all.
If you can learn the language, it is even more impossible to dig up the battlefield relics. Various modern ancient texts have been poured into the efforts of countless experts and scholars. After a long period of exploration and research, coupled with the flashes of genius scholars, they were successfully translated.
But the premise is that they have to have the same cultural circle, or establish a connection with a language that is known not to be extinct and exist, and then they can have the most important clues.
Because of this missing piece, there are still many words that cannot be deciphered in modern times.
The fifteen races in this world are themselves fifteen completely different cultural circles, using completely different scripts and languages.
Modern people with abundant human and material resources have no way to decipher the remaining independent characters. They can only hide in Tibet, but they rely on the largest tribe of a few thousand people to research a large number of foreign languages, learn languages, and understand their encryption. ...should be absolutely impossible.
Of course, it may be too absolute to say that, everything is possible... But the difficulty is basically equal to the success of creating a big Ivan with a stone hammer in the Stone Age.
Although he thought it was impossible, after asking Croni to speak a few words of Orcish language, he found that.... the normal logic that he thought was normal in the past, maybe there is a problem, or there is a problem in this world?
And these people who break the rules may not actually be as miserable as they think. Although they don't show it clearly, they won't find it if they don't go into it. But if you think about the human beings who discovered this world, the hidden luck is definitely good enough to explode. , It is no problem to say that it is a super enhanced version of the Son of Heaven.
In this case, it is not surprising that Azrael can speak Sky Wings? After all, the human tribes in this world are scattered all over the world, and it is not surprising that each tribe has different specializations.
"....Should I tell them how thermonuclear weapons are made, maybe they can really help me make a big Ivan?"
Thinking of this group of people being too exaggerated and beyond the norm, he subconsciously decided in his heart... Not only to eat and drink, but to get along with them first during this time.
Maybe when I was eating and drinking, I could just grab something I just needed, such as... goblin-species weapons?
Luo Mo, who originally regarded the migrating people as refugees, immediately regarded them as sweet treats after discovering the unusual place, and planned to stay with them with full expectations.
.................
.................
In the wilderness where the black and ashes were constantly flying, the crowd kept walking and moving forward. After entering the depths of a nearby forest, they continued to go deeper and finally arrived at a rather hard-to-find cave in the mountains—this Alternate gathering place for refugee groups.
.... The whole process took a lot of time, but it was almost safe. As Colony said, because of the relationship that has been ravaged before, this area seems to be relatively safe, and there are basically no attacks from aliens.
"Hum~ Not bad! This place! Tell you! My dad found it!"
In the crowd who finally relaxed and rejoiced that she was not dead, Croni walked up to Luo Mo in a showy way, raised her chest and spread her hands to show off.
Chapter 5 Rare Confusion
The caves chosen by those who escaped not only had traps laid out in the past at the entrance to prevent wild beasts, but even wooden doors were made in advance as barriers.
The interior is large enough to accommodate a thousand people, and there are many special luminous ores around it, and some luminous plants planted in advance on the ground.
Not only is there flowing groundwater in the depths, but there are even fish swimming in the groundwater, so that people can rely on this underground stream to temporarily relieve the food crisis and solve the water problem after losing their homes.
Looking at the crowd gathered by the stream to fetch water, Luo Mo's heart was full of mixed feelings.
After all, he also spent a lot of effort in the beginning, but he only found a water source once...but he didn't drink a drop.
"...As expected, people are really mad at people. Is this a matter of how many people are more powerful or is it a matter of luck? Or is it a miracle of life?"
Even if he is not strong in the alien race where the collective is monsters, he is much stronger than normal people. He can kill a lot of people with a single wave, but...he can't find it. A suitable hiding place, on the contrary, the people here can not only find it, but even have the current backup.
This made him have to sigh about the miracle of life, a little feeling of seeing weeds thrive in the crevices of the cliffs.
However, the miracle of life here, 80% is that countless people have sacrificed in places they can't see, in addition to some unique skills that have to be constantly explored.

Although mourning for the deaths and injuries of compatriots and relatives, after arriving at the new shelter, people breathed a sigh of relief and spontaneously organized the neighborhood, then began to eat and discuss how to build their new home.
The former leader seems to be dead, and the leaderless crowd can only use a few high-ranking people...or middle-aged and elderly people who don't know how to live to the present, to discuss the allocation of personnel and the use of each area together.
The hungry and croaking Luo Mo and Clooney finally saw Clooney's mother at this time.
The beautiful young woman with short red hair like Clooney, who seems to be in her mid-thirties, is pulling a horse with various items on its back and distributing supplies to the children in the crowd.
Clooney quickly ran over, pointed to the two of them and said:
"Mom! They are from other tribes! They can also speak Tianyi! It's amazing!"
"Tianyiyu? It's really powerful." The woman was a little surprised, but she just praised casually, and smiled and handed over two stacks of things that looked like cheese:
"Are you all hungry? Come on, this is dinner, let's take a nap and rest. Let's work together tomorrow?"
Just like Clooney and the others, the woman did not suspect that Luo Mo and Azrael were aliens, and they were very friendly and accepted the two outsiders. Even for him, he was very bland. It seemed to humans. .... Tianyi language is worthless?
Luo Mo, who took the cheese-like food, thanked him with a sincere expression on his face. At the same time, he couldn't help thinking about why these people were so cautious, but he didn't doubt himself, the two outsiders.
Because humans have no value in letting other races waste their energy to send spies? It's pointless to waste time sending people to lurk after discovering that humans only need to be slaughtered?
And the Flügel never went to the ground, and going to the ground is a massacre, so it's pointless to learn the Fluttershy language? .... Although this idea seems a bit too simplistic, but he thinks the possibility is quite high.
When he came to the corner of the cave and watched from a distance, Chroni was beside his mother and helped the other little friends to eat. He was only thirteen years old but looked like an adult, which made him think about the way of human survival here. , and could not help but sigh the influence of the living environment on a person.
But.... is also a child, why is Clooney an overly mature girl, and...
He subconsciously looked at Azrael, who had a displeased expression on the side, like a child's temper. He always had a complicated feeling of eating flies.
In the end, Luo Mo sighed heavily and handed over her share of food:
"...Azrael, do you want to eat?"
"What meow?"
"I don't know. Ma's milk made it, right? But this era, this environment... Maybe it's human?"
In an environment where there are more people than horses, especially men who need to take high risks to go out, and women work in relatively safe interiors, the number of women is overwhelming, especially since they have been trying to give birth as much as possible. , the result....Maybe there is more surplus in the output of people than the output of a few horses?
...Although he was just talking nonsense at first, but staring at the strange cheese in his hand, he couldn't help but think strange thoughts and became a little unable to swallow.
Azrael also understood the subtext when he was muttering to himself, and hurriedly retracted his hand and said dissatisfied:
"—Ou meow?! What dirty things did you give me meow?! It's disgusting meow!"
"You hungry?"
"I'm not hungry!"
"....yes?"
Luo Mo looked away from the cheese and glanced at her slightly.
She didn't eat, drink, or make trouble along the way. She could have explained it by being sensible and obedient, because he didn't eat and make trouble.
But now there is food, but I don't eat it, and I hate it.... Human tribes can still be so rich, can they raise children like this?
But even if she felt suspicious, Luo Mo didn't say it or think about it.
No doubt, this is pointless thinking.
In case there is an accident, it is really some alien race performing a task, and the possibility of being a child is too low, then... 80% of it is the use of magic that hinders cognition, or some kind of magic of rejuvenation.
What is the purpose? He didn't want to think about it for the time being, and wasn't going to ask any more questions.
Because the people who perform the mission must be elites... He is afraid that he will be caught and killed if he thinks too much.
After all, the second-to-last orc can achieve the ability to physically "read mind" through subtle expressions and hearts. Other alien goblins, goblins, and elves are experts in magic, and it is normal to use mind-reading magic. Still can't think about it too much.
Regarding the fact that it may be Tianyi, it may be true, and the possibility of confusion is also very large. After all, what is a language?
There are people in a settlement like this who are proficient in the languages of the five races, so the elites who perform tasks in the stronger races can speak all the languages of all races, and there is nothing incredible about it.
Maybe he looks like a silly child on the surface, but he is actually quite a terrifying human spirit. He pretends to be so disguised that he can't see any flaws... After all, the world's elves, goblins, goblins, and Tianyi all live quite a long time. He has become a thousand-year-old actor, but he can't think of a reason for doing this.
But there was another possibility that Azrael was really a kid from a nearby settlement who was killed, but it was definitely not a human being.
For a while, he couldn't figure out what it was, but anyway, no matter what the situation was, as long as there was no hostility, there was no problem with not caring, or....
Because there is no hostility to go deeper, it is likely to bring risks to himself, and he does not have the problems he faces after revealing the facts, and the corresponding processing ability required... He is very aware of this, and he feels sad and helpless about it. It is very important that this situation is rarely confused.
On the bright side, if it is just a simple alien orphan, it will also be beneficial to treat it as usual... Maybe next time I come back, I will really become a beautiful girl like a royal sister?
That is not to be a child bride to a certain extent, no, it should be a child bride.
.... Although he didn't want to think about it too much, Luo Mo still unconsciously thought of some strange things. He couldn't help but look forward to Azrael who was close to him. He wanted to hug him when he came back later. Powerful interracial thighs.
