Chapter 10: Takeki Village
Glancing at the strange dense fog in front of him, Lin Chen silently strengthened himself in his heart, then calmed down and slowly approached forward.
"Click.." Lin Chen glanced down at his feet, not knowing what kind of scattered skeletons of some creatures he was stepping on.
And when he actually entered the air mass, the skeleton on the ground around him began to become more and more complete.
In a few of the corners, Lin Chen even found several complete humanoid skeletons.
"It seems that there are still people in this place" Feeling the warm heat emanating from the pendant on his chest, Lin Chen thought silently.
Because Su Ying, who teleported in with him, didn't know where the people were at this time, he was very afraid that he was the only living person in this unknown place.
"Ninefold Heavenly City, Ninefold Ninefold, is there nine different areas inside?" Lin Chen guessed, "And the sky inside looks endless, not at all like what is observed from the outside world."
"Alas, let's take one step at a time, I hope to find Su Ying, and I don't know how she is now" The figure of the lively and lovely girl suddenly appeared in Lin Chen's mind.
"Squeak" At this moment, Xiao Huang's cry suddenly interrupted Lin Chen's thoughts, and Lin Chen noticed that in front of him was a fruit tree that looked short and had oval blood-red leaves on its branches.
And Lin Chen could clearly see that under the leaves in the middle of this tree, there were a few vermilion round fruits that were exactly the same as the one that Xiao Huang had just given him.
This should be the culprit that caused this series of strange things nearby, it seems that Xiao Huang found this fruit here, as for whether it ate it or not, Lin Chen didn't know.
"Squeak squeak" Xiao Huang hurriedly motioned for Lin Chen to pick the few remaining fruits on the tree.
Lin Chen then walked quickly to the tree, smelled the strong fragrance emanating from the tree, and carefully picked the remaining five fruits on the tree.
Lin Chen felt strange that the fruit itself did not have any fragrance, "It seems that this strange fragrance should come from a branch or a leaf," Lin Chen thought to himself.
Lin Chen tore off a small piece of cloth from under his clothes, carefully wrapped the five fruits in his hand and put them away, and quickly left this strange place.
......
Fortunately, the journey was safe and sound, and Lin Chen, who walked out of the center of the white fog, continued to walk in this forest for almost two days.
As for the food in the past two days, thanks to the mysterious vermilion fruit, during which Lin Chen ate two and Xiao Huang ate one.
After eating that mysterious fruit, by chance, Lin Chen was surprised to find that his strength seemed to have suddenly become very strong.
After some testing, he found that the punch he threw with all his strength at this time could easily knock down a tree the thickness of an adult's arm.
After a long time, Lin Chen adapted to this strange power in his body, and attributed it to the vermilion fruit.
"Why hasn't Xiao Huang changed at all" Lin Chen took Xiao Huang's tail from his shoulder and shook it in front of his eyes, "Obviously I have eaten it, why hasn't it changed at all, I still look like a hamster."
"Squeak squeak" Xiao Huang was startled by Lin Chen's sudden move, and shouted angrily in the air.
"Hahaha, I'm sorry, I'm sorry" Lin Chen hurriedly put Xiao Huang back in place and comforted it.
"Xiao Huang, have you noticed that the trees around here are much shorter, and they are not so dense anymore" Lin Chen observed the surroundings.
"I feel like I'm about to get out of this forest, and I hope to meet people."
"Squeak," Huang replied.
So the two of them continued on for about two hours.
At this time, Lin Chen saw that in front of him, a small village had faintly appeared.
"Someone! look, there's someone in front" Lin Chen shouted excitedly, the exhaustion on his body seemed to be swept away, and he walked there quickly.
The architectural style of this small village is completely different from that of Lingyang Xingshang, and each house is made of wood, but it looks a little dilapidated and old.
Lin Chen saw that in the center of the village there was a square open space connected to a potholed dirt road.
At this moment, a carriage was parked on the ground in the clearing, and a young girl and a middle-aged man were carrying something to the carriage behind the carriage.
Lin Chen stepped forward and saw that the two in front of him were carrying a short-looking green stick-like plant.
Only then did the two of them notice Lin Chen on the side and stopped what they were doing.
The clothes Lin Chen was wearing at this time were tattered, and his hair was messy and unwashed, which was a little embarrassing.
"Where did you come from, you're dirty, I've never seen you, huh? This thing is so cute, what's it called? Can you show me?"
The little girl beside the middle-aged man noticed Xiao Huang on Lin Chen's shoulder and asked directly.
Lin Chen looked at the little girl in front of him who was only seven or eight years old, but what made him feel strange was that the language circulating here was exactly the same as the outside world.
"Xuan'er, don't talk nonsense" The middle-aged man directly interrupted the little girl, then looked at Lin Chen and said, "Little brother, where are you going?"
"Hello uncle" Lin Chen looked at the middle-aged man in burlap in front of the little girl and thought for a moment, and then asked, "Is there a place to live nearby?"
"Where do you live?" the man thought about with his chin in his hand, "Yes, yes, but it's a little far away, in Jinyang Town."
"Can you please give me direction, uncle?"
"Ah" The middle-aged man looked at Lin Chen with some surprise when he heard Lin Chen say this, "Little brother, Jinyang Town is dozens of miles away from our Zhumu Village."
"Otherwise, I see that you are alone, and now it is about to get dark, if you want, you can stay at our house tonight"
"Tomorrow we are about to go to Jinyang Town, and we will sell this wood and bamboo, and we can take you with us at that time," the man finished speaking, pointing to the things on the ground that were about to be loaded into the car.
"Ah" Lin Chen didn't expect the middle-aged man in front of him to say this.
Looking at the two people in front of him, Lin Chen estimated that they didn't look like bad people, and besides, at this time, he didn't look like he was carrying something that others could plot.
"Then it's troublesome uncle" Lin Chen didn't refuse, and said directly, after all, he hadn't really rested for a few days.
"I'll also help move it together," Lin Chen pointed to the plant on the ground that the man called Muzhu.
"Haha, then thank you little brother, by the way, I don't know what your name is?" The man was very happy when he heard Lin Chen say this.
"Cheng Yang," Lin Chen said, Cheng Yang was the name he used in the orphanage when he was a child.
Lin Chen always felt that Bai Heng, the city lord of White Light City, might have some special means to contact him from the outside world.
So to be on the safe side, he didn't use his real name.
"Little Brother Cheng, I am the village chief of this Zhumu Village, you can just call me Zibo. ”
"My name is Zixuan", the little girl saw that the two ignored her, and hurriedly said to the side.
"Squeak" The little guy on Lin Chen's shoulder also made a rare cry, as if he was introducing himself.
"It's so cute" As soon as she heard this voice, the little girl's eyes suddenly stared at Xiao Huang, and there was a longing look in her eyes.
Xiao Huang shrank his head in fright by this gaze.
"Haha, this is my daughter, named Zixuan, her personality is a little nonsense, don't see it outside", Zibo touched the soft long hair draped behind the little girl, and said with a smile.
"Village Chief Zi has just seen the outside, and today I really want to trouble you."
"Haha" Zibo laughed again, and his intuition told him that the young man in front of him should not be a simple person.
Because he saw that Lin Chen came out from the direction of the White Mist Forest, after all, he knew the weirdness of the mysterious forest very well.
