Chapter 331 Departure from the Ancient Capital
Chapter 331 Departure from the Ancient Capital
Not all the villagers of Huacun agreed to relocate to the ancient capital. Some stubborn people preferred to live at the bottom of the well rather than leave. In their view, leaving the village might lead to an even faster death. They had the protection of the well god in the village, but not outside.
To put it bluntly, these villagers simply don't believe in Jiang Han's abilities. Since they don't trust him, Jiang Han won't say much. His main goal this time is to bring Zhang Xiaohou back, and helping these villagers relocate to the ancient capital is just a side effect.
Of the hundreds of survivors in Huacun, only about thirty are willing to leave, mostly young people, while the older people do not want to leave their homeland.
As the group was about to leave the village, Asha'ruya parted ways with her two attendants, and no one knew what she was going to do next.
Because of the short days and long nights during this season, coupled with the overcast weather and the rampant deathly aura, everyone's travel speed has increased considerably.
It's safe during the day, so everyone is very relaxed as they travel. However, after 3 p.m., a strange gloom hangs over many people's hearts, and they become more and more anxious as time goes by.
The villagers weren't sure if they, who had grown up drinking well water, still had the protection of the well water god. Secondly, they didn't quite believe in Jiang Han and his group's strength. When they passed the fork in the road leading to Yangyang Village, Xie Sang, the village chief of Hua Village, suggested taking a different route.
The road that passes through Yangyang Village looks short on the map, but it actually takes quite a while to get there.
As night fell, many villagers naturally moved closer to the village chief Xie Sang and Hong Jun. Compared to Jiang Han and the others, the villagers trusted the village chief and Hong Jun more. Not all the villagers distrusted Jiang Han and his group.
There were also a few villagers who believed in Jiang Han and the others. For example, the villagers who were familiar with Su Xiaoluo believed that anyone who could be friends with Zhang Xiaohou must be quite powerful. Ultimately, it was because some of them had seen the undead that attacked the village being destroyed by Zhang Xiaohou's two wind magic spells.
"Mo Fan, Liu Ru, you two guard the rear of the column. I'll handle the undead in front," Jiang Han said.
"Okay." Mo Fan and Liu Ru nodded and walked towards the back of the group.
The group traveled a long way without encountering any undead attacks, which meant that the protection from the gray garlic and well water had not failed. However, if these two things were not the problem, why did the village encounter undead attacks? This puzzled Su Xiaoluo.
The night passed relatively peacefully, and all the undead showed no reaction to such a large group of people. Relieved, many people, like Su Xiaoluo, were filled with doubts about the previous undead attack on the village.
"Young Master Jiang, what do you think is going on?" the short man asked in a low voice as he approached the white bone lizard demon.
"Who knows? Maybe there's a traitor in their village," Jiang Han said calmly.
"You can't say things like that lightly. The villagers of Weiju Village would never do anything to harm the village," Fang Youmiao directly denied.
Jiang Han glanced at the dwarf man next to the white bone lizard demon and said, "Oh, is there something you wanted to talk to me about?"
"Hehe, Young Master Jiang, do you remember that cave I told you about for sheltering from the rain?" the short man said with a chuckle.
"I vaguely remember. Didn't you say it was discovered by some blood beast a few years ago?" Jiang Han said.
"Yes, but after killing the blood beast, our group planned to rest in Yangyang Village first. Do you know what happened to you on the way?"
"What?"
"We encountered a survey team that had just left Yangyang Village. They gave us some supplies, so we took the easier, flatter road back to Shanghai, which is the road we took."
"But shortly after we returned to the ancient capital, we heard that the entire survey team had disappeared."
"It seems they've sent food to the dead. If they hadn't, Monkey and his team wouldn't have come to search for the survey team," Jiang Han said calmly.
"That's what I thought at first too, but the survey team we encountered told us..."
