The Gray Dwarf race should no longer dare to invade the human side.
A ten-year period of stability?
Chief Dieylong's words may have been exaggerated, but it's enough for a period of peace.
However!
Tang Zheng didn't intend to stop there. He finally had the chance to make contact with the humans here, and besides figuring out the situation in the entire Despair Valley,
there was also information about the outside of Despair Valley! Tang Zheng already had a plan in mind.
If this location was really in the central region of the continent, then it would become a very important transit point for him in the future.
Even if it was in a remote location on the continent, it wouldn't matter, it would be safer and could also serve as a starting point.
But all of this required sufficient information.
"Tell me everything you know about this Despair Valley," Tang Zheng said to Chief Dieylong.
Chief Dieylong naturally had no intention of refusing. He had already learned from his daughter, Ya La'er, that the incredibly powerful expert before him had come to their Despair Valley from the outside world.
He had also heard from his father that there were other humans living outside Despair Valley, but their living environment was very harsh, and many had been wiped out.
However!
With the strength of an expert like him, he could probably survive easily anywhere.
Chief Dieylong was sincerely grateful that the expert who appeared in this Despair Valley was a strong human.
Chief Dieylong thought for a moment, then reached out and picked up a bone from the table, drawing three circles on the ground.
"These are the three largest oases in this valley. The innermost one is where we humans are located, and the two to the north are the oases occupied by the Dwarf race and the Orc race, respectively."
Speaking of this, Chief Dieylong drew a broken straight line at the northernmost position: "The northernmost direction is a towering mountain range, and the southernmost is said to be a continuous chain of volcanoes."
With Chief Dieylong's detailed introduction,
Tang Zheng raised his head slightly, his eyes flashing. He finally had a basic understanding of this area.
It was clearly a vast desert, no wonder it was called a "valley."
The north was a mountain range, and the south was a chain of volcanoes. The entire desert area was completely surrounded by the two major mountain ranges in the north and south.
"The oasis where the Orcs are located is closest to the northern mountains. I heard they have connections with the world outside Shadow Valley, but I don't know any more specific details," Chief Dieylong said, his eyes filled with Fear and apprehension when he spoke of the Orcs.
They seemed to be an even more terrifying race than the Gray Dwarves.
"Shadow Valley?" Tang Zheng looked at Chief Dieylong.
"It's here."
Chief Dieylong raised his hand and pointed to the broken straight line he had drawn earlier, at the gap: "This is Shadow Valley, a connecting point where the northern mountains are broken, and the only route to leave Despair Valley."
Speaking of this,
Chief Dieylong raised his head and looked at Tang Zheng, quickly reminding him, "Shadow Valley is very dangerous. It is said that a Fortress has been established there by the countries outside, and it is also occupied by those Orcs."
After listening to Chief Dieylong's introduction,
Tang Zheng frowned slightly, a look of contemplation on his face.
He inexplicably felt that this Despair Valley was like an abandoned place, discarded by the countries outside.
However, why build a Fortress? Could there be other secrets in this Despair Valley? From Chief Dieylong's tone, he clearly didn't know much.
For a race that had difficulty even surviving, they really didn't have the time to explore and gather information about the outside world.
What Chief Dieylong knew was what he had learned from his father, who was the human in this race who had "entered" the Hero Domain.
Tang Zheng had already asked about it earlier, and he was also curious about the human who had entered the "Hero" level Domain.
Based on the information he had obtained, Chief Dieylong's father, in addition to his own talent, was likely also the owner of an Innate Ability.
He was the real reason why this race was able 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 arms, and actually took out the fist-sized brown Stone Golem...Heart from his Item Box.
"Stone Golem...Heart!"
Chief Dieylong straightened his back and spoke in surprise, but when he thought of Tang Zheng's strength, he understood somewhat.
"This is a very dangerous Demon Creature in the valley, the core from the Stone Giant. I heard my father say it's a very valuable item."
"The Gray Dwarfs seem to be able to refine this stone into weapons and equipment with special abilities, and the Orcs also collect this stone."
"My father once used this stone to exchange for a lot of supplies from the Orcs,"
Chief Dieylong said quickly.
"I see," Tang Zheng nodded lightly.
Dwarves are good at forging weapons and can forge equipment from this Magic material, which is normal. The fact that the Orcs also collect this material surprised Tang Zheng a bit.
"Father!"
Just then, a happy, crisp voice rang out from outside the bonfire.
Ya La'er, holding a set of armor and a horn, strode over.
At this moment, her earthy brown armor had been removed, and she was wearing a cool, earthy brown tube top 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 not-so-slender legs moved across the sand.
Perhaps due to frequent running and training.
Ya La'er's calf muscles were tight, while her thighs were rather strong and rounded, which, combined with her flat lower abdomen, made her hips appear somewhat large.
At first glance, she looked like a little cheetah.
The temperature in the Despair Valley desert is always high, even at night, remaining above twenty-five or six degrees Celsius.
Ya La'er had not been here just now, but had been diluting Tang Zheng's healing potion to treat the tribesmen injured in the war.
It was clear that the treatment was now over.
Ya La'er quickly ran up to the two of them, the armor in her arms clearly heavy, causing her to pant slightly, but the bright smile on her face could not be concealed.
The injured tribesmen were no longer in mortal danger thanks to the treatment with the mysterious healing potion, although some tribesmen had died.
But whether it was Ya La'er or all the tribesmen, they were already used to death!
In this Despair Valley, "death" is the norm, and all they need to do is try to live, to survive!
"Hero, sir."
"This is the most complete set of armor among all the spoils, and this horn seems to have special abilities. It belonged to that Gray Dwarf Commander."
After running over, Ya La'er looked at Tang Zheng with worship in her bright silver eyes, her slender legs sliding, and she slid across the sand in a kneeling position, saying happily.
The biggest gains for the human side from this Gray Dwarf army were naturally all kinds of metal weapons.
However!
Since Tang Zheng did not pay much attention to the armor during his attacks, there were not many sets of Gray Dwarf armor that were completely preserved.
"Ya La'er!"
Chief Dieylong looked at his daughter, his face with several scars showing a serious expression, and he scolded in a low voice, "We were able to survive by luck, all thanks to the Hero, sir. All the spoils belong to the Hero, sir."
"I know," Ya La'er lowered her head and said softly, "I just wanted to pick out a complete set of armor for the Hero, sir, to take a look at."
Hearing the conversation between the two turn into the title "Hero, sir" again.
Tang Zheng could only helplessly correct them again, then waved his hand, "Keep these armor and equipment for yourselves. I don't need these things."
The Gray Dwarf equipment was basically some iron weapons and armor covered in iron sheets, which were of no use to Tang Zheng at all.
"This is a set of equipment with special abilities."
Ya La'er quickly raised her head and explained, her voice with a hint of nervousness.
Special abilities?
Tang Zheng glanced at the armor Ya La'er was holding.
Isn't it just Magic equipment?
Tang Zheng glanced at the horn, slightly curious, raised his hand to take it, and a ray of Mana flashed in his eyes.
*Item Appraisal!* Seeing the information that came up, Tang Zheng's eyes paused.
The horn's abilities weren't complex, possessing the simple ability 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 from Ya La'er's hand, and activated the Item Appraisal ability again.
Watching Tang Zheng examine the armor.
Ya La'er clasped her slender hands on her knees, her silver eyes full of reverence.
As expected of a Hero, the armor that she could barely lift with both hands, the Hero could easily lift with one hand.
Especially Tang Zheng's fair skin and Darkness hair color, which were completely different from theirs, filled Ya La'er's eyes with a mysterious charm.
To the side.
Chief Dieylong saw his daughter's gaze, and then carefully glanced at Tang Zheng, a hopeful expression appearing on his serious face.
At this moment.
Tang Zheng looked at the information appraised on the armor, his eyes shook.
These two Magic equipment are both Rune Technology items! "The Gray Dwarf in this area actually possess Rune Technology?"
Tang Zheng was a little surprised and taken aback.
