Chapter 502 - Alarming Research (1)

That was the second time she had been in that basement. In addition to the four mercenaries, Shen Yanxiao found some more survivors from the village, including Old Ba and Ke.

The villagers’ faces broke into brilliant smiles when they saw Uncle Nine had returned to them. The same expression was on their faces when they noticed Shen Yanxiao and Vermilion Bird were with him too.

Then they were seized with terror when they noticed the pretty boy that

the Vermillion Bird had dragged with his hands.

“Uncle Nine, is he…” Old Ba mustered some courage as he looked at the young man who almost massacred the entire village.

Uncle Nine waved his hand and comforted villagers. “It is okay now. Go and pack your bags. We can no longer stay here.”

The villagers nodded even though they were confused. They glanced at the other four people in the basement with mixed feelings and left the basement in hesitation.

The four mercenaries from the Cave Wolves Mercenary Group had fully recovered. They were also in the basement and what would happen to them next. They had been severely wounded in the previous raid, and then they had fallen into a coma. They did not expect that Uncle Nine would save their lives. They had not left the basement yet, so they did not know what had happened in the village.

They also noticed that the kid with Uncle Nine was the honorable member of their group, Huo Xiao. A trace of curiosity and pleasant surprise appeared in their eyes.

“Please give us some privacy as well. I have something to say to the two kids here,” Uncle Nine said.

The four mercenaries nodded. They glanced at Shen Yanxiao with a smile. Then, they left the basement.

“Take a seat.” Tired beyond endurance, Uncle Nine found a stool, and he sat on it. The fate of the village was a burden that he had had to carry, and he was under a lot of stress, both physically and mentally.

Vermillion Bird threw the unconscious young man onto a bed casually and then dragged Shen Yanxiao to take a seat.

“All these years, we’ve had countless people who tried to get to the Graveyard of the Sun. Alas, none of them succeeded. I didn’t expect two kids to have made it in there.” Uncle Nine wore a forced smile on his face.

Shen Yanxiao raised her eyebrows.

“Uncle Nine, does this village have anything to do with the Graveyard of the Sun?” She had thought the village was there to prevent people from venturing into the Graveyard of the Sun. Based on what Uncle Nine has said, she was even more convinced of her theory.

Uncle Nine nodded, albeit helplessly. After a moment of pause, he said, “Not the Graveyard of the Sun exactly, but the people in the Graveyard of the Sun.”

“There are people in the Graveyard of the Sun?” Shen Yanxiao was stunned. When she and Vermillion Bird were there, they had turned that place upside down, but they did not see a single person there.

They must have missed something. The Vermillion Bird mentioned that the young man was from the Graveyard of the Sun.

Uncle Nine sighed. “Well, there is nothing more to hide. A long time ago, some people had forcefully occupied the Graveyard of the Sun. They built an underground palace and leveraged the chaotic elements in the Graveyard of the Sun for protection. They were carrying out some missions, and this village was established after their arrival. The purpose of this village was to stop outsiders from entering the Graveyard of the Sun.”

Shen Yanxiao squinted; she was right.

“The precious wounds on Ke and Old Ba were not from any random accidents, were they?” Shen Yanxiao questioned him.
