In a short period of time, Venix had cleared a group of Warwolves that had come before.
Before nightfall, Venix rode a black Tiger and walked towards a simple village inhabited by about 500 Humans.
The number 500 humans is quite large. It does not look like a village at all if you look at the numbers of humans who live in that place.
However, most people were outside to guard the territory of this village. Just like Venix before.
This village is quite large and large. Therefore, more and more corners need to be guarded.
Approximately 300 people settled in this village at the same time. The rest are outside to guard the village area in turn.
Carrying a large leather bag on his back, Venix walked up to the simple village gate made of wood.
"Is everything going well, son Venix?" Ask the gatekeeper with a warm smile.
"Everything went well. There are several groups that pass through the village area, but all of them are safely under control for now." Venix said casually.
"Indeed. Our days on the continent of darkness are indeed very unsettled. Attack after attack happens every day." The gatekeeper said with a sigh: "By the way, the captain tells us to prepare. According to the captain, some areas of our southern flank were attacked by a group of other races and looted them. The captain said that the group's strength was quite strong. So the captain could not fight them head-on, and could only obediently retreat and prepare the resistance to welcome the enemy if they came to the village."
"Is the strength of another race group stronger than last year's tragic attack?" Ask Venix.
The gatekeeper shook his head and said: "The captain says that the threat level is in a difficult level. Not the nightmare level. Although there was only a one-level difference between a difficult level and a nightmare, the difference in threat strength was like heaven and earth."
"alright. Thank you, Uncle Nan." Venix said to the gatekeeper.
The gatekeeper named Uncle Nan opened the village gate and let Venix in.
The entire village is surrounded by high stone walls and several village entrances.
Why stone walls, and not iron walls?
That was because iron ore was difficult to obtain on the continent of darkness. To obtain iron ore, they had to mine the iron ore themselves. And this village lacks iron ore mines.
There is no trade in this central continent. At least this village did not have such an ability.
The iron ore they obtained was only enough to supply weapons and armor for the fighters to counter the enemy's attacks.
The consumption of iron to make the walls surrounding the village was huge. And the village's storage stock doesn't have that amount.
However, although it was only a stone wall, all sides of the stone walls were supported by rune formations and strengthened them. It could be said that the strength of the current stone wall exceeded the strength of normal iron.
Of course if this stone wall was replaced with iron, its durability would be much greater.
Entering the village, Venix saw some villagers walking to and fro. It could be said that being in this village, Venix felt like he was in a small town.
Riding the Black Tiger, Venix heads to a large warehouse to hand over his spoils of war.
"This is a booty today. There's a lot to take, but I don't carry a lot of bags and just collect the most important ingredients." Venix said as he handed the large leather bag to the warehouse manager.
"It is very dear. But the things you brought were more than enough. Oh? Is this Warewolf skin? Some of his internal organs are you carrying too? You brought back a very nice item! With this, we can take care of and help more people in this village. And of course to take care of you too." Said the warehouse guard with a smile as he looked through the contents of the leather bag that Venix had brought back.
"It's good if it can help the villagers. By the way, I'll go home and rest first." Venix.
"Good rest. The credit score will be added later to your account after I finish counting everything." Said the warehouse guard.
Venix nodded and walked to his residence with the Black Tiger.
The credit score that the previous warehouse guards had said was to exchange some important cultivation resources for the warriors.
Although living in the Dark Continent was very bad, but the treasures of heaven and earth were very abundant here. It could be said that if Venix still lived in a human city, it was very difficult to search for a variety of high-quality ingredients and medicines.
But it's different here. There are many quality ingredients and medicines here. Even Venix was very surprised when he first joined this village 2 years ago. It can only be said that the resources in this village are not inferior to the resources provided by rich families to their children to practice.
Venix walked up to the two of them and asked: "Senior Fena, did something bad happen?"
A woman named Fena raised her head and looked at Venix. Fena shook her head and said: "Rayen was attacked by a poisonous snake while fighting against the enemy group. Because of the snake, Rayen was at a disadvantage and received many injuries. But everything's fine now."
The man named Rayen laughed mockingly at himself: "I didn't expect that a weak beast could make the situation even more difficult."
"Indeed, it is rare for normal animals to hurt us warriors, but it is not impossible. Thank you Senior Rayen, I will be careful in the future." Venix said seriously.
Rayen's mouth twitched and said: "Alright, be careful in the future."
Other than saying that, Rayen did not know what to say. It's good to tell others about other dangers out there. But make it as an example, especially with the incident that he thought was a bit embarrassing, inexplicably Rayen felt uncomfortable with it.
Fena slapped Rayen on the head and said: "I told you it wasn't embarrassing. Do you think it will be laughed at by the other fighters in this village?"
Rayen coughed in embarrassment as if Vein could read his mind.
Venix smiled, and did not want to bother the young couple further: "Alright. Senior Fena, Brother Rayen, I'll rest first."
Rayen and Fena nodded, and chatted a few more words before Venix returned inside his house.
Fena is his senior. To be more precise, Fena was Venix's senior at the Azure Bull school.
After being teleported to the continent, Venix slowly meets some of his school friends and people from other schools.
From the Azure Bull school, there were originally 13 students gathered here. But last year, due to enemy attacks, many died including the Azure Bull disciples.
Currently, there were only 6 people left from the Azure Bull school. Including Venix and Fena.
There were others from other schools who joined in this village. However their situation was more miserable than that of the disciples from the Azure Bull school. Only one to three disciples survived last year's disaster. And there were even some who were annihilated without a single student remaining from that school.
Fena and Rayen are a new couple. Venix recalled that while still in human territory, Fena came from a fairly wealthy family. With his background, it would be very difficult to find a suitable partner for him.
On the other hand, Rayen is a native born in this village.
But after last year's tragedy, Fena and Rayen have a closer relationship. Venix doesn't know what's going on between the two, but it's common knowledge that Fena and Rayen's relationship isn't just an ordinary friend.
Entering his house, Venix immediately sat cross-legged on a simple wooden bed inside his house.
Closing his eyes, Venix entered a meditative state.
Within his soul, energy slowly gushed out from a round-shaped core. The energy slowly spread throughout his soul until finally, it expanded to fill the internal organs of his body.
Fighters in this world are called Martial Masters.
Martial Master Levels consist of: Apprenticeship, Bronze, Silver, Purple, Gold, Black Gold, Crimson and Legend.
In the hometown of Venix, every 17-year-old freshman of the school had at least reached the level of Internship.
Bronze levels will be achieved at least in the second year of school. Silver level will be achieved after graduation.
The above information is the normal development of school students. Of course it was different from the level reached by young geniuses.
Each Martial Master school spent 5 years before fully graduating. Venix is 21 this year, which means he is on par with his fourth year in school.
The thing that was quite surprising was that the Venix level had reached the peak of the Silver level. This development was very fast, and made Venix one of the best Martial Masters in this village, when compared to the other school friends who lived in this village.
Indigenous people born on the continent of darkness, or villagers in general were much stronger than outsiders.
That's because their living environment is different. Various monster attacks come every year, and many die. Therefore the children in this village have a stronger determination and desire to make themselves stronger. Unlike Venix and his friends who come from outside, who live in the territory of human power and are very comfortable. Didn't have much desire to become strong like the natives of this village.
