Unlimited progress

"Damn! It's not going to be a wolf again?" Zhang Xiaobai couldn't help but feel a little annoyed. Although he had Bugs Bunny's hypnotic ability, it could only be used once in a short period of time. If he encountered multiple wolves, he might be finished.

Seeing the group of fluorescent things approaching, Zhang Xiaobai didn't dare to move and even held his breath.

"Brother, this is a firefly. It likes to come out at night and there is no danger." Bugs Bunny on the side couldn't help but say something when he saw that his brother was so nervous.

[Firefly: A common insect that likes to come out at night to mate and poses no threat]

Zhang Xiaobai was relieved when he saw the system prompt. But shouldn't this be a firefly? How did it turn into a firefly?

"Eighth brother, you too, why didn't you tell me earlier? Next time you come across something you know, tell me earlier, okay?" After saying that, Zhang Xiaobai rubbed Bugs Bunny's head.

Zhang Xiaobai was just about to find a place to lie down when he remembered that his cool mat was gone. When he was upgrading his bicycle during the day, the cool mat and the mace fell on the road together. He couldn't help but think of the giant during the day. The other party could have crushed him to death with just one hand~

Before I found a suitable place to sit down and rest, a childish voice suddenly sounded in my ears, "Grandpa, look, there are fireflies over there, let's go catch them."

Zhang Xiaobai was stunned. Was there anyone here? A child or an old man? But when he turned around and looked behind him, he was startled by the two people in front of him.

In the moonlight, you can barely see that the child is wearing tattered linen clothes and has a small braid at the back of his hair. The old man is also wearing linen clothes, but his beard is as long as an adult's arm.

But what surprised Zhang Xiaobai was not their clothes, but their height. The old man looked less than 1.2 meters tall, and the child was even smaller, at most 80 centimeters. Normally, wouldn't such a young child have just learned to walk? How come this little guy was jumping around?

"Humans and elves?" The old man also saw Zhang Xiaobai and Bugs Bunny.

"The old man has some vision. He didn't mistake me for a rabbit." Bugs Bunny jumped out of the schoolbag.

Zhang Xiaobai was a little confused about the situation. From what he said, these two were not human?

"Brother, these two are dwarves." Bugs Bunny whispered in Zhang Xiaobai's ear.

Only then did Zhang Xiaobai remember to use the system to check the information of the two people.

[Dwarves: an intelligent race, good at refining weapons]

【Level: 15】

"Hello, old man. I'm Zhang Xiaobai, and this is my friend Bugs Bunny. I am indeed a human, and it's an elf. I wonder who you two are?" Zhang Xiaobai bowed to the old man, imitating the ancient salute gestures seen on TV. He didn't expect that the old man in front of him was already level 15. Could he be a hidden master?

When Bugs Bunny heard Zhang Xiaobai call him a friend, he was suddenly touched. If his elder brother treated him as a pet, he would always feel uncomfortable.

"You are quite polite, young man. My name is Butch, and this is my granddaughter Britney. We are dwarves." The implication is that Bugs Bunny is impolite, but Bugs Bunny doesn't care. Not calling him "uncle" in front of him is already giving him face.

"Grandpa, this guy is so tall!" The little kid next to him couldn't help but be a little scared when he saw Zhang Xiaobai's height of more than 1.7 meters.

"Don't be afraid, he is a human being. Humans are generally much taller than us!" Butch touched the little guy's head and said lovingly.

"Excuse me, old man, where is this place? How did you end up here?" This was the second intelligent life Zhang Xiaobai had met besides Bugs Bunny. He now wished he could throw out all his questions at once.

However, he also knew that relationships had to be built slowly, and if he asked too many questions rashly when others were not familiar with him, it would make people feel disgusted.

"This is the Endless Road. You should have come from that road." Butch said, pointing to the road beside him.

Zhang Xiaobai nodded.

As if he could see that Zhang Xiaobai had many questions, Butch changed the subject and said, "It's too late. It's not safe to stay here. Come back to the village with us, little friend. We can talk while we walk."

Zhang Xiaobai was a little hesitant. Although the two dwarves didn't seem to pose any threat now, there was no guarantee that they wouldn't ambush him.

"Brother, it's okay. Dwarves are friendly to humans." Bugs Bunny seemed to see Zhang Xiaobai's hesitation and said in a low voice.

After hearing what Bugs Bunny said, Zhang Xiaobai smiled and accepted Butch's invitation and parked the electric car aside. After all, it was impossible to push the electric car all the way.

After walking around in one direction for more than ten minutes, what we saw was no longer grassland, but a row of short earthen houses. The houses were round and somewhat like yurts.

"This is the village of our dwarf tribe, called Bron Village. The reason we ran there just now is because Xiao Ni wanted to catch fireflies to make lanterns. You seem to be unfamiliar with this place at all. Did you just arrive here?" Butch asked.

Zhang Xiaobai did not hide anything and told Butch everything about his sudden appearance here and what system tasks he had, hoping that the other party could answer his questions.

"I don't know why you are here, but from what you said about the mission, I think this should be a test for you humans. It seems that humans also came here for a test many years ago."

"This place is called the Endless Road, and it is also a small world. We are the natives here. There are not only our dwarves here, but also various races, like the elves next to you, as well as giants, orcs, undead, ghosts, machines, etc..."

Butch told Zhang Xiaobai some basic information about the place, and Zhang Xiaobai then had some understanding of the entire Endless Road. However, when he asked how to leave here, Butch shook his head.

"If you want to leave the small world, your strength must break through the constraints of this world, which means your strength must reach a certain level. I'm not sure what level it is, but the way to leave should be on the road where I met you before. I heard that you can leave if you keep walking on it. However, it's best not to be on that road at night, it will be very dangerous."

"What danger?" Butch was the one who said there was danger on the road, so he brought Zhang Xiaobai to the village. Now he mentioned the danger again, which reminded Zhang Xiaobai of the system's reminder last night not to walk at night.

"Every night, many terrifying creatures come to the highway to look for food. If you are unlucky, you will be eaten."

Britney, who was standing by, couldn't help but shrink into her grandfather's arms when she heard this.

"But they usually come out late at night and only appear near that road, so we are safe here. You should rest here for a while. You can complete that mission tomorrow. This is the experience passed down by our predecessors!"

Hearing this, Zhang Xiaobai suddenly felt fortunate that he did not sleep on the road last night and did not encounter the scary village he mentioned.

"Thank you, old man. If it weren't for you, I might have become someone else's delicacy tonight." Zhang Xiaobai suddenly thought of tonight's mission. Advance 24 kilometers in 100 hours. Isn't this forcing us to die?
