Chapter 191

The gray dwarf tribe should no longer dare to come and invade the human side.

A ten-year period of peace?

Chieftain Di Yelong might have been exaggerating, but that was enough for a period of stability.

However!

Tang Zheng had no intention of stopping there. Having finally managed to make contact with the humans here, besides needing to figure out the situation of the entire Despair Valley.

There was also intelligence about the outside of Despair Valley!

Tang Zheng already had a plan vaguely forming in his heart.

If this location was truly in the central region of the continent, it would become a very important transit point for him in the future.

Even if it were in a remote part of the continent, it wouldn't matter; it would be even safer and could serve as an entry point.

But all of this required sufficient intelligence as a prerequisite.

"Tell me everything you know about this Despair Valley," Tang Zheng said to Chieftain Di Yelong.

Chieftain Di Yelong naturally had no intention of refusing. He had already learned from his daughter, Ya Ya Laer, that this terrifyingly powerful lord in front of him had come to their Despair Valley from the outside world.

He had also heard from his father that there were humans living outside Despair Valley, but the living environment was very harsh, and many had been wiped out.

However!

With the strength of this lord, he could likely survive easily anywhere.

Chieftain Di Yelong felt heartfelt relief that the one who appeared in this Despair Valley was a powerhouse belonging to their human race.

After thinking for a moment, Chieftain Di Yelong reached out, picked up a bone from the table, and drew three circles on the ground.

"These are the three largest oases in this valley. The innermost one is the oasis where we humans are, and the two to the north are the oasis occupied by the dwarf tribe and the oasis occupied by the demi-human tribe, respectively."

Speaking of this, Chieftain Di Yelong drew a broken straight line at the northernmost position:

"The direction to the far north is a towering mountain range, and the far south is said to be a continuous chain of volcanoes."

Under Chieftain Di Yelong's detailed introduction.

Tang Zheng raised his head slightly, his eyes flickering; he finally had a basic understanding of this area.

It was clearly a vast desert; no wonder it was called a "Valley."

To the north were mountains, and to the far south were volcanoes; the entire desert area was completely enclosed by the two major mountain ranges to the north and south.

"The oasis where that group of demi-humans is located is closest to the northern mountains. I heard they have connections to the world outside the Shadow Valley, but I don't know any more specific details," Chieftain Di Yelong said, his gaze filled with fear and wariness when mentioning the demi-humans.

It seemed to be a tribe even more terrifying than the gray dwarf tribe.

"Shadow Valley?" Tang Zheng looked at Chieftain Di Yelong.

"That's here."

Chieftain Di Yelong raised his hand and pointed to the broken straight line he had drawn earlier, at the gap:

"This is the Shadow Valley. It is a connecting point where the northern mountain range breaks, and it is also the only route to leave Despair Valley."

Speaking of this.

Chieftain Di Yelong raised his head, looked at Tang Zheng, and quickly warned: "Shadow Valley is very dangerous. It is said that a fortress was built there by the countries outside, and it is occupied by that group of demi-humans."

After listening to Chieftain Di Yelong's introduction.

Tang Zheng frowned slightly, a look of contemplation appearing on his face.

He inexplicably felt that this Despair Valley was very much like a forsaken land abandoned by the countries outside.

However, why build a fortress?

Could it be that this Despair Valley had other secrets? Judging by Chieftain Di Yelong's meaning, he clearly didn't know much either.

For a tribe that struggled even to survive, there was indeed no time to explore and collect intelligence from the outside.

What Chieftain Di Yelong knew, he had learned from his father, the human in this tribe who had "stepped into" the Hero realm.

Tang Zheng had already inquired about that human who stepped into the "Hero" level realm earlier, and he was equally curious.

Based on the information obtained, Chieftain Di Yelong's father, in addition to his own talent, was very likely also a possessor of "Innate Ability."

That person was the true foundation that allowed this tribe to continue and survive to this day.

"By the way, do you know what this is?" Tang Zheng suddenly thought of something, reached into his bosom, and actually took out the fist-sized brown stone from his item box.

"Stone Man... Heart!"

Chieftain Di Yelong straightened his back and spoke in surprise, but thinking of Tang Zheng's strength, he felt a bit of understanding.

"This is the core from the Stone Giants, very dangerous monsters in the valley. My father said it is a very valuable item."

"The gray dwarfs seem to be able to refine this kind of stone into weapons and equipment with special abilities, and the demi-humans also collect this kind of stone."

"My father once used this kind of stone to trade for a lot of supplies from the demi-humans."

Chieftain Di Yelong spoke quickly.

"So that's how it is." Tang Zheng nodded lightly.

Dwarfs were good at forging weapons, so it was normal that they could craft equipment from this magic material. That the demi-humans also collected this material surprised Tang Zheng a little.

"Father!" Just at this moment, a happy, crisp voice sounded from outside the bonfire.

Ya Ya Laer walked over with a set of armor and a horn in her arms.

At this moment, she had taken off that tawny armor and was wearing a cool, tawny chest wrap that exposed her navel, with shorts and a half-skirt of the same color on her lower body.

Her wheat-colored skin reflected a faint luster under the light of the bonfire at night, and her two legs, which were not particularly long, stepped on the sandy ground.

Perhaps because of frequent running and training.

The lines of Ya Ya Laer's two calves were taut, while her thighs were rather sturdy and rounded; combined with her flat abdomen, her hips appeared somewhat large.

A glance made her look like a little cheetah.

The temperature in the valley desert was always high; even at night, it remained above 25 or 26 degrees.

Ya Ya Laer hadn't been here just now; she had been using Tang Zheng's diluted healing potion to treat the tribesmen injured in this war.

It was clear that the treatment was finished now.

Please... you... bookmark_(!)

Ya Ya Laer quickly ran in front of the two, the armor in her arms clearly a bit heavy, making her pant slightly, but the bright smile on her face could not be hidden.

The injured tribesmen were no longer in life-threatening danger under the treatment of the mysterious healing potion, although some tribesmen had died.

But whether it was Ya Ya Laer or all the tribesmen, they had long been accustomed to death!

In this Despair Valley, "death" was the norm, and they only needed to try hard to live, to survive!

"Hero."

"This is the most complete set of armor among all the spoils of war, and this horn seems to possess special abilities; it belonged to that gray dwarf commander."

After Ya Ya Laer ran over, her bright silver eyes looked at Tang Zheng with worship, and her long legs slid as she knelt on the sand, saying happily.

In this gray dwarf legion battle, the biggest harvest for the human side was naturally all kinds of metal weapons.

However!

Because Tang Zheng hadn't paid much attention to the armor during his attacks, there weren't many sets of armor on the gray dwarfs that were preserved intact.

"Ya Ya Laer!"

Chieftain Di Yelong looked at his daughter, a serious look appearing on his scarred cheeks, and he scolded in a low voice:

"We were able to survive by luck entirely thanks to the Hero. All the spoils of war belong to the Hero."

"I know," Ya Ya Laer lowered her head and whispered: "I just wanted to pick out a complete set of armor for the Hero to see."

Hearing the conversation between the two turn back to the title "Hero."

Tang Zheng could only helplessly correct them again, then waved his hand: "Keep these armor and equipment for your own use; I don't need these things."

The gray dwarfs' equipment was basically iron weapons and armor covered in iron plating, which was of no use to Tang Zheng at all.

"This is a set of equipment with special abilities."

Ya Ya Laer quickly raised her head, her voice filled with a hint of nervousness as she explained.

Special abilities?

Tang Zheng glanced at the armor Ya Ya Laer was holding.

Wasn't it just magic equipment?

Tang Zheng scanned the horn, feeling slightly curious, raised his hand to take it, and a flash of mana light passed through his eyes.

"Item Appraisal"!

Seeing the information from the appraisal, Tang Zheng's gaze froze.

The horn's ability was not complicated; it had simple abilities to boost morale and transmit sound over long distances. What truly surprised Tang Zheng was something else.

Tang Zheng reached out again, grabbed the armor in Ya Ya Laer's hands, and activated the "Item Appraisal" ability again.

Watching Tang Zheng observing the armor.

Ya Ya Laer clasped her long hands and placed them on her knees, her silver pupils filled with reverence.

As expected of the Hero, the armor that she found somewhat heavy to hold with both hands could be easily lifted by the Hero with one hand.

Especially Tang Zheng's fair skin and jet-black hair, which were completely different from theirs, were full of mysterious charm in Ya Ya Laer's eyes.

On the side.

Chieftain Di Yelong saw his daughter's gaze, looked at Tang Zheng cautiously again, and a glimmer of hope appeared on his serious cheeks.

And at this moment.

Tang Zheng looked at the information appraised from the armor, his gaze shocked.

These two pieces of magic equipment were Lu En items!

"The gray dwarfs in this region actually possess Lu En technology?"

Tang Zheng felt surprised and unexpected.
