Chapter Ninety-Seven: A Strange Village
"It's not far ahead!" Hans looked at the familiar scenery around him, and he was sure that it was close to their village.
Bai looked in the direction Hans was pointing, and he felt something strange and dangerous!
There's something terrible there!
If you get close, you may be in danger!
But......
Shiro glanced at Hans, who was being carried by himself, and decided to move on, for that side quest!
Suddenly, Shiro felt that there was an open field in front of him, and there was a plain there, and not far from Shiro's eyes, there was a building complex sitting there!
The complex is not big, Bai roughly counted it, about twenty households, it is a small village!
There are no lights in the village, after all, it is already late at night, and the villagers should have already slept, so it seems very quiet!
Shiro slowed down the speed of the Bone Seat, and the Bone Seat walked forward again for a distance before coming to a complete stop!
He put away the bone seat and put Hans down, and as soon as Hans landed, he immediately walked towards the village!
Looking at his staggering back, Bai was a little hesitant to follow, and after thinking about it for a while, Bai still decided to follow!
After all, Shiro hasn't received a system prompt yet!
When Bai and Hans entered the village together, the system's prompt finally appeared!
The side quest is complete, and Shiro is ready to evacuate, but just as he is about to say hello to Hans, he suddenly swallows what he wants to say!
Because he felt a malicious gaze, not one, but many!
Shiro felt that if he left the village now, he would definitely be attacked!
So he decided to stay and see what was going on!
And judging from the information given by the system, Hans should be a normal copy character, so he should be able to get something useful for the main quest, or clues!
Hans seemed to have calmed down now, and although he was still in a hurry, he didn't intend to shout and wake up the villagers as soon as he entered the village, but had a clear goal and kept walking there!
Bai followed behind him, and did not step forward to help him who was staggering when he walked, the effect of the bandage is still very good for ordinary people, Bai used two bundles of bandages for Hans in a row, and now Hans looks embarrassed, but in fact he has recovered a lot, at least to the point where he does not need help when he walks!
He hadn't even noticed the terrifying recovery speed, otherwise, he would have been surprised!
It didn't take long for the two of them to come to the door of a hut, and Hans stepped forward directly and began to knock on the door, "bang, bang", with a bit of force!
"It's coming, it's coming! Don't knock, you're about to break the door! The voice of the complaining sounded in the room, the voice was childish, the voice of a child, and at the same time the fire was lit up in the dark room.
After the door was opened, a little boy's head protruded from inside, and judging by his sleepy eyes, he should have just gotten up from bed!
"Brother! You're back! The little boy, who had been looking very reluctant, smiled in surprise when he saw Hans outside the door in the faint light.
"Ahh I am back! Hans nodded in response, pushed the door open, and entered the room.
"Brother! What's going on with you! Probably because of the darkness outside, the little boy had not noticed Hans's injuries just now, but as soon as he entered the lighted room, he immediately screamed!
"Let's go in first!" After Hans said a word to the little boy, he immediately turned to Bai and said, "Friend, you can also come in and rest for a while!" ”
After getting the invitation, Bai didn't talk nonsense, and followed Hans directly into the room!
"Brother, what's the matter with the injuries on your body?" Hans's brother asked with a worried look on his face.
"I encountered wolves, and I barely escaped! If it weren't for this friend, I probably wouldn't be back today! Hans said and pointed to Bai next to him, and said this, he paused, and realized a very important question, "May I ask what I want to call you?" ”
"My name is Hiraku!" Bai said lightly.
"Thank you for your help to my brother!" The little boy first thanked Bai, then seemed to notice the equipment on Shiro's body, and then asked, "Big brother, are you an adventurer?" ”
"Sort of!" Bai replied a little ambiguously, and then turned the topic to Hans, after all, he was so anxious to rush back just now, there should be something very important, and now it seems that the important thing should be on the little boy in front of him, "Your brother should have something very important, let him say it first!" ”
Hearing Bai's words, the little boy who was very interested in Bai set his eyes on his brother, Hans!
"That's right! Hurry up and pack your things, act fast, and only take what you need, got it, Hank? Hans's tone was solemn and hurried, and as soon as he had finished speaking, he walked back to his room, as if he was about to pack his things.
Although Hank didn't quite understand what Hans meant, he obediently went back to his room and began to pack his things.
Seeing this scene, Bai also roughly understood that Hans was preparing to flee from here, and judging by his expression, he seemed to have learned something terrible, and now he is very likely to be hunted down!
It's just that what makes Bai feel a little strange is that when he came back with Hans, he didn't find anyone following them, let alone chasing them!
It's also good to be able to leave this village as soon as possible, after all, this village also gives Bai a sense of danger!
The wait was not long, and after the two brothers had prepared their simple luggage, they left the house with Shiro!
"Xiluo, before leaving the village, please try to follow us as much as possible!" As he left the house, Hans spoke to the dialogue.
Although Shiro didn't quite understand why he said this, he nodded and followed them closely!
To be honest, with Bai's condition, it was really difficult to follow them on foot, but he didn't show it, the village is not big, as long as you get out of here, then it would be good to summon the bone seat to walk, and bear with it a little before again!
The process of leaving the village was smooth, and when the three of them entered the forest again and walked some distance, they slowed down!
"Brother, what the hell is going on?" After seeing that the speed had slowed down and he was no longer in such a hurry, Hank asked suspiciously.
"I got a communication from the Elf of the Forest, who said that the Earth Demon Beast that was sealed in the depths of the Thorn Shirt Forest has begun to recover, and the plague it brought has spread throughout the forest, and there is a tendency to spread outward, and many villages have fallen!" Hans explained.
When Bai heard this, he suddenly felt a big head, he still had a task to do, but he didn't want to be involved in such a dispute!
"Then our village!" Hank also realized something, and immediately exclaimed.
"Our village has also been almost eroded, because we have the protection of the forest elves, so we are fine for the time being, but the strength of the forest elves is limited, and most of his power is placed on the seal of suppressing the earth demonic beasts, and it is the limit to be able to divide a little power to give us a chance to escape!" Hans said with some guilt.
Hearing this, Bai also somewhat understood why there was danger in the village, but there was no reason for the danger to come!
Because the eyes of the forest elf were set on this village, the creatures that were corrupted by the earth demonic beasts did not dare to move, so they would be safe!
No wonder Hans said something like that at that time...... Bai understood why Hans said that sentence as he left the house!
If he hadn't followed Hans closely, the forest elves' eyes wouldn't have been cast on him, and he would have been the only target for the polluters!
Thinking of this, Bai couldn't help but glance deeply at Hans in front of him.
It's not safe in this forest, and in the conversation just now, Bai has learned that the plague brought by the Earth Demon Beast has spread throughout the entire forest, just because of the protection of the power of the forest elves, the persecution received here is not as big as outside the forest!
The water in this dungeon world is really deep and muddy...... Bai sighed slightly.
Shiro felt that he was almost ready to leave, so he stopped, and summoned the Bone Seat!
The two people in front also noticed Bai's movements, and they also stopped, looking at Bai suspiciously.
"It's almost time for me to leave!" Bai explained, then controlled the bone seat, and prepared to turn and leave.
"Wait!" At this moment, Hans shouted, then took something like an amulet out of his pocket, threw it to Shiro, and said, "This is for you, and it is a thank you for helping me!" ”
Shiro took the amulet that had been thrown over, looked at it, put it away, and then waved his hand at Hans and said, "Thank you, goodbye!" ”
After saying that, Shiro took control of the bone seat and rushed towards the south!!
"Brother! Is it really good to give him that thing? Hank asked.
"It's okay!" Hans shook his head and said, "I don't need it anymore!" ”
