Chapter 17 Porcelain White Stone

Fang Yue felt around and finally tore off the fabric from the cuff of his sleeve.

"Will this do?"

"It's enough."

The blood hunter took the fabric and let the Giant-Headed Bloodhound sniff it for a while. Then, the Giant-Headed Bloodhound swallowed the fabric.

"It's..."

"It's fine. It means it's memorized the scent."

"Okay…"

After all, it was a guilie hunter, not an ordinary dog. Fang Yue didn't have much say. Whatever the blood hunter said, went.

At this time, Luo Xin had already finalized the list and called Fang Yue over.

"Vice Captain Ye, the personnel list has been confirmed, no errors, all correct. Please say a few words of encouragement, and then we can set off."

As he spoke, Luo Xin also led a horse over to Fang Yue.

Unlike last time, this time, Fang Yue mounted the horse very smoothly.

Fang Yue really didn't have any talent for speeches, but his simple words still received a warm response. The guard team members and villagers applauded, and finally, with a wave of Fang Yue's hand, the large group set off mightily.

"Finally gone."

Lin Ling was standing on the roof of a house in Lin Ling Village, looking down.

"Yeah, I hope Hua Qiuqiu can withstand this bad news after receiving that letter…" Hua Wuye was beside him, looking dim.

"Thinking about Aunt Hua and the others again? Don't be sad, I'll be with you from now on."

Lin Ling held Hua Wuye's hand, and the latter blushed slightly, revealing a shallow and happy smile.

And below them, the blacksmith Ma retracted his gaze, revealing a faint sneer.

"Public display of affection, those die quickly! Gu Yue Village, it’s coming to an end. You guys should enjoy your last moments while you can."

…

Only when he actually walked on the village road did Fang Yue realize that the so-called village road was actually a path paved with egg-white stones.

And he had actually seen this kind of egg-white stone before.

That's right, he had seen it.

This kind of egg-white was exactly the same as the egg-white stones that made up the mountain road connecting Gu Yue Temple to Gu Yue Village when he first entered the game.

"This kind of stone is called porcelain white stone. Because it is hated by the strange, there is a folk saying that as long as a road is paved with porcelain white stone, it will not be attacked by the strange."

"In fact, this is a wrong concept. Porcelain white stone only emits a faint, grass-like, strange stench that is difficult for humans to smell. This smell is the reason why the strange dislike it."

"But as time goes by, the grassy stench of the porcelain white stones on the village road has gradually faded, so the safety of the village road has been greatly reduced. The symbolic meaning of the road signs is greater than the meaning of dispelling the strange."

"Of course, compared to wandering around in the wild, we are definitely safer walking on the village road."

Listening to Luo Xin's explanation, Fang Yue nodded.

He looked at the village road, which was only half a meter wide, and had lost most of his confidence in its safety.

Lin Ling is tricking me!

He said walking on the village road was safe, but this is a scam! Fortunately, Luo Xin explained it clearly, otherwise I would have been tricked into a ravine.

Just as Fang Yue was thinking this, Luo Xin added another sentence.

"However, because of the influence of the grassy stench accumulated on the village road over the years, many native strange have defaulted to the existence of the village road and will subconsciously avoid it. So, in a sense, the effect of the village road in dispelling the strange has not disappeared."

Okay, so it has formed a fixed impression on the strange, and they will detour around the village road.

That doesn't seem too bad, but as time goes by, many strange must have noticed that the stench of the village road has dissipated a lot. Once this spreads, the safety of the village road will sooner or later become a problem.

Fang Yue and the others had been away from Gu Yue Village for an hour.

The sun was fierce, scorching the earth.

Fang Yue sat on his horse, letting it walk slowly.

Behind him, the villagers, after experiencing the initial tension and curiosity, felt tired and hot.

In fact, when they first left the village, Fang Yue was more nervous than all of them.

This feeling was particularly strong after leaving the white-shift patrol area near Gu Yue Village, and his heart was pounding.

But as time went by, Fang Yue gradually calmed down.

The dangers of the wilderness were rumored to be incredible, but judging from the current situation, it didn't seem that dangerous, at least not as frequent as he had imagined.

Fang Yue looked at Luo Xin, who was riding a horse next to him, vigilantly looking around.

Then he looked at Doctor An, who was lying directly on a truck pulled by two horses behind him, snoring loudly, without any sense of crisis.

That's right, it is rumored that this guy would even treat strange for money, he was so bold. The wilderness must be like going home for him.

Continuing to turn his head, Tian Dan Zhi Yuan Wu was still chatting with Tail, the two girls seemed to have endless topics to talk about, giggling from time to time, as if they were out on a picnic, which made Fang Yue stunned.

Aren't they afraid of encountering strange? This is the wilderness! Their hearts are too big!

Shaking his head slightly, Fang Yue looked at the blood hunter, who was walking towards the back of the team, occasionally letting the Giant-Headed Bloodhound drink water and pee to make a mark.

Fang Yue then remembered that the guard team members had once said that the Giant-Headed Bloodhound's urine had a certain effect in dispelling the strange.

Fang Yue couldn't help but nod in satisfaction. He had to say that in this huge team, only the blood hunter was a true veteran, making outstanding contributions to the safety of the team.

With the Giant-Headed Bloodhound's urine guarding the rear, if any strange happened to encounter it, they would definitely be driven away by the smell and change direction, thus greatly improving the safety of the team.

The veteran is too strong!

Continuing to observe the team, Fang Yue suddenly focused on one person.

"Ma Ling'er?"
