Chapter 159 - Mystery Village
Duan Ju stood at the side, with a helpless look in his eyes. When faced with this matter, they indeed did have some helpless thoughts.
"However, I've heard that the identity of the girl that accompanied you all is not simple at all. Could it be that after all this time, you two were unable to see it at all?"
Duan Ju glanced at them, and their eyes were filled with helplessness. Previously, he had already seen this girl's identity, he was not simple, after all he had an emerald jade pendant with him, this jade pendant was definitely something only someone from a clan would have.
However, now she appeared on this girl, this meant that this girl definitely did not have such a simple identity. It must have made people feel that she was not simple at all.
Seeing them standing there, Duan Ju couldn't help but have a strange feeling and could only sigh. If these two fellows could really understand what he had said, it would be great. Since that was the case, he didn't want to waste any more words.
After the second day, Li Yifei and the other two had already arrived at the place where the Crimson Flame Beast was staying. Only then did they realize that the Crimson Flame Beast was located in a place with a beautiful scenery.
"I have only seen this Crimson Flame Beast in legends. I can suddenly see it now. "Naturally, it's also very good, so I'm really looking forward to it right now."
Leng Mengqing glanced at the object in front of her, her eyes filled with amusement. Under such circumstances, it was hard for them to handle this matter.
"Let's be careful. Although this forest does have some beautiful scenery, don't you feel that something's wrong?" Li Yifei looked at the picture in front of him. The color of the forest was indeed very interesting, but if the monster in front of him was good at using smoke, then that meant it was definitely not simple.
"Hmm, you're right about that. Right, there's a market in front of us. Why don't we go there tonight and have a good rest. Then, we can ask the villagers about the current situation."
Leng Mengqing looked ahead. There was indeed a village there, and smoke was coming from everywhere. It was already confirmed. If that was the case, then they could really go there to have a good rest for the night.
"Un, then let's go!" Li Yifei looked ahead of him, it was indeed smoke rising in the air, and nodded his head seriously. If that was the case, then it would be a great decision for him.
Only when the two of them arrived at this place did they realize that something wasn't right. Although these humans had been resting here, they were still faced with these things.
There was something that was not easy to deal with. Thinking about this, he felt a little helpless, and it really was strange. Although there were a lot of old people and children here, he could tell with one look that these old people and children looked really strange. He felt like something wasn't right.
"Aunty, may I ask, how can there be such a place in this deep forest? And why would there be a market here? May I ask if these people have been living here all this time? "
Li Yifei went over to take a look at the aunt in front of him, and his eyes were filled with curiosity. He couldn't help but think about it, and could only ask her about it seriously.
"Yeah, we really live here all year round, don't you know that? We've been living here for years. "
When the aunt saw him, she only nodded seriously. She didn't say anything more after answering his question. After all, it really wasn't beneficial for them in such a situation.
"Young lad, in fact, this is the only thing we have here. Little Zheng is very prosperous, and all the other places have been moved away, so it is very dangerous to pass through here. There is always a Crimson Flame Beast living on the mountain not too far away from the group."
When the aunt said this, she could only sigh helplessly. If this matter could be resolved, then they would have done so long ago. Unfortunately, this was the only thing he could do.
"You must be outsiders. It's clear that you don't know anything about this matter." When the aunt saw them, she couldn't help but laugh. Her laughter was truly unexpected, so she could only stand there, not knowing what to say.
"You guys should just carry these two bags. Since this bag is with you, it's a bit safer. If you guys see that monster, then you won't be confused by it."
As the aunt spoke, she took the two poached eggs from her hands and gave them the potions. She hoped that they would keep it a secret. After all, there was no way for them to do such a thing.
"This monster is good at using all kinds of fog to confuse people's minds. It is very possible that if you walk into this monster's side, you will fall for her misreading. As for the consequences? It's very serious, so you have to be careful. "
Li Yifei looked at the purse in his hand, his eyes filled with helplessness, this situation was truly unexpected, he could only stand there and awkwardly smile, he really did not expect that the last moment would be like this, it was truly too unexpected.
"Then, aunt, when will we be able to see this monster?" Just by looking at this aunt's appearance, Li Yifei was already very sure that this large amount in front of him must know something.
"He usually doesn't come out during the day and only comes out at night to eat people. Moreover, this monster is really scary. He's very good at eating people, so you must be careful."
When Li Yifei heard this, his expression did not seem to be right. He did not expect that there would actually be a kind of man-eating beast in this world. Thinking up to here, he could not help but feel scared. He could only stand there and sigh helplessly.
"In short, I've already told all of you about this matter. You must be careful." When the aunt finished her sentence, she could only sigh. If he could do these things well, he would have done them well. Why wait till now?
"This aunt won't hide anything from you. Actually, the reason we came here this time is to help you solve this problem. We will definitely help you eliminate this monster."
Seeing their expressions, Leng Mengqing could not help but smile. She was definitely not joking around with what she had just said, so she could only stand there and smile helplessly.
You two kids shouldn't be making fun of an old man like me here. You are so young, and this monster is someone that even we have found cultivators to deal with, but in the end, even Immortal cultivators can't do anything to him. Just you, a little kid, what can you do? "Stop joking around."
The aunt heard that. As they said that, they just stood there and couldn't help laughing. Obviously, they did not believe what he said at all.
Alright, I think that you should come here not long ago. Since you don't know much about the matters here, then you should have a good rest here. I have two empty rooms, you should stay with me.
The aunt looked at the two children. They were actually so cute when they said those words. She couldn't help but laugh and speak in a serious tone.
"Then, I'll thank you. We just arrived here, and we are indeed still here. There isn't a single place for us to stay. So, naturally, it would be very good if you were able to take us in."
Leng Mengqing stood there, and could not help but smile. Now that she was able to let this aunt take them in, they would have a place to rest today. This was definitely not bad.
Li Yifei realized that the things that this Immortal Cultivation Realm possessed were completely different from the things that were found in their cultivation world. Many things were truly ancient, even the clothes and accessories were all ancient.
Li Yifei had already determined one thing, and that was that in the following days, if he could handle these matters well, then it would naturally be a good choice, but if he could not, then he could only let nature take its course. In any case, to them, there were many things that they should properly handle.
When they arrived at the place where the aunt lived, they had decided to rest for the night. After all, they had a good rest tonight, so they could only let nature take its course when they met that Crimson Flame Beast.
When Li Yifei settled down, he decided to take a walk outside. After all, he still wanted to get familiar with the environment here, and discovered that even though this place was filled with mountains and forests, there were only a few people living here.
Although they did look like they were in the prime of their prosperity, it was clear from their words that they were living a cautious life at all times. After all, Crimson Flame Beast were so terrifying.
Li Yifei had truly discovered that this place was entirely filled with elderly people, and there were even some children who lived here. Generally, young people wouldn't be living here anymore, this made him feel that it was a bit unexpected.
It seemed that these elders and children really had no way to leave this place, which was why they had no choice but to live here. Those young and strong people had already left long ago. When Li Yifei saw this situation, he could not help but be a little disappointed. He did not expect that these young people would actually do such a thing, which was really too disappointing.
"I know your identity. Follow me to a place." At this time, an old man walked over. He glanced at her and said these words with incomparable seriousness. After all, the fact that these two people were here meant that their identities were definitely not simple.
Li Yifei looked at the person and felt that it was a little strange. He clearly looked like he was very old, but he walked very quickly, although Li Yifei did not understand where this person came from, but he did not know why he actually wanted to continuously follow him forward, this made people feel that it was strange.
