Welcome To the World of Strength [Unlimited Stream] - Chapter 137
Facing the village chief’s request for help, Fu Yongyan’s complexion did not change much. After all, her mission had already been explained, so Fu Yongyan clearly knew what she was going to do next.
Therefore, she just nodded coldly: “Don’t worry, I will help you. But during the time I am helping, you have to promise me something.”
The village chief nodded quickly.
Ruan Xue paused in his heart, as if he had expected something. He wanted to speak out against it, but he had two things in mind.
One is his identity. If he wants to continue to play the role of “grandson”, then he cannot object at this moment, and even if he objects, the village head may not listen to him. It’s not going to be good at that time.
The second is that Fu Yongyan and the others are still staring at him, it is impossible for them to allow Ruan Xue to object.
Ruan Xue changed his standing posture calmly, and then curled his fingers slightly.
Beads of blood appeared from the finger curled up in the shadow, and then disappeared out of thin air.
And Ruan Xue’s face paled for a moment. But he adjusted his state very well, relying on his willpower, he didn’t let anyone see that something was wrong.
Fu Yongyan: “One, during this period, no matter whether the four of us are going to Yueluo Village or any place in Yueluo River, you must let us go, otherwise we cannot guarantee that the sacrifice to the River God will be successful. satisfy.”
The village head quickly said: “This is natural.”
Fu Yongyan: “As for the second thing…” She showed a smile, “Except for the four of us, it is strictly forbidden for anyone else to approach Yueluohe, can you do it?”
The village chief hesitated for a moment: “I don’t know what the ‘others’ you mean…”
Fu Yongyan was impatient: “It’s everyone except the four of us.”
Village head: “Is this, the people in our village also included?”
Fu Yongyan glanced at him, “Why, it seems that you really don’t want to agree?”
The village chief shook his head quickly.
“It’s just that we are about to go to the sacrificial ceremony. Yue Luohe still needs to make preparations. Otherwise, it may be too late to prepare at the scene of the auspicious day, and it is easy to make mistakes during the busy schedule. Therefore, it is usually arranged in advance. You don’t allow other people to approach like this. It’s not easy for us to arrange work.”
Another person replied on Fu Yongyan’s behalf: “I’ve said that we can help you solve this matter, so why worry about it? What we’re talking about naturally includes the matter of sacrifice.”
After hesitating, the village head had no choice but to agree.
After Fu Yongyan got a satisfactory answer, she was ready to get up.
Seeing her movements, Ruan Xue immediately became vigilant.
Although it has been analyzed before that killing people at the village chief’s place is not a good solution, what if Fu Yongyan just doesn’t take the usual path?
Ruan Xue narrowed his eyes slightly. Although his body was still weak and he couldn’t make up for it immediately, he still lifted his spirits.
Fu Yongyan slowly walked in front of him.
“Shi Jun…ah no, I mean, that woman named Zhong Yu also came with you, right?”
Ruan Xue remained calm on the surface, but there was a slight movement in his heart.
It seems that Fu Yongyan knows that the leader is using the identity of Zhong Yu at this moment?
This thought flashed through Ruan Xue’s mind.
It’s just how did she know, and does anyone else know besides Fu Yongyan. And… if Fu Yongyan knows, how long can this secret be hidden?
Thinking of this, Ruan Xue was a little nervous.
He didn’t know about the collusion between Fu Yongyan and the system, and he didn’t know that Shi Jun already knew about the collusion between the two of them, so at this moment, Ruan Xue’s nervous back was a little sweaty.
Fu Yongyan smiled: “Looking at your expression, I knew it. Although, I think she will definitely come, but I still need to make sure.”
Who knows whether Shi Jun’s woman is sincere or fake? It’s not impossible if the other party throws Jiang Yu out like this as a bait.
Ruan Xue’s voice was tense, and he asked in a low voice, “What do you want to do?”
Fu Yongyan enjoyed the victor’s mentality which is rare. She didn’t take any action against Ruan Xue, but said softly: “Guess, who will win this dungeon? Shi Jun?”
She stretched out her index finger and shook it, “No, it’s me.”
Ruan Xue frowned and looked at her.
Fu Yongyan: “This dungeon is my paradise, here, I will personally defeat you one by one.”
After finishing speaking, Fu Yongyan left with the others.
After walking out, someone behind him asked: “Leader, why don’t you deal with him directly?”
After all, this is a rare opportunity, and Ruan Xue is alone.
Fu Yongyan said: “No, there is no benefit in provoking Shi Jun now.”
Shi Jun may not have found a way to clear the level yet, but…
Who knows if there is a way to directly destroy the copy after she uses Zhong Yu’s body?
Fu Yongyan did not forget that besides being good at clearing the dungeon, Shi Jun was also good at directly crashing the dungeon.
What she wants to do is to win Shi Jun in the duel and kill her, not to end the dungeon in such a way.
Moreover, she did not forget that her real target was Zhong Yu.
After seeing Zhong Yu, it is true that one hit kills it. At that time, it doesn’t matter even if the copy directly collapses.
But now, it is far from the time to expose his strength to others.
“Also, although there are no ghosts in this dungeon, there are gods and monsters. Before you fully understand the dungeon mechanism, it’s better not to act rashly.”
Besides… What if Ruan Xue became a ghost queen and learned of their mission?
After all, this point is easily compromised.
The person behind him also thought of the same point, his face changed slightly, “I see.”
From this point of view, if you want to prevent Shi Jun and others from learning about their mission, you have to make sure that they have no connection with that side.
Seeing Fu Yongyan and the others leave, Ruan Xue finally breathed a sigh of relief. His back was covered with sweat, and he couldn’t help but leaned against the wall, and then barely stopped.
Sure enough… that technique cannot be used lightly.
With his current level and physical condition, using it once is already the limit.
The village chief came over and glanced at Ruan Xue: “What’s wrong with you?”
Ruan Xue’s heart tightened: “I’m fine.”
The village head asked again: “What did the four masters tell you just now?”
Ruan Xue: “It’s nothing…just asking me if there are any outsiders coming and going in the village recently.”
The village chief looked slightly relieved, “Indeed, this is something that needs to be paid attention to. Tomorrow, you will ask Uncle Wang from the East Courtyard to go to the village to make statistics, and outsiders will be allowed to sneak in while the moon is dark and the wind is high.”
The village head sighed: “Although I said that I didn’t need to worry about such things before, but now that the river **** is in a situation…you should pay more attention.”
Although he didn’t know who Uncle Wang was, Ruan Xue nodded quietly.
Then, thinking of the request of Fu Yongyan and others, Ruan Xue asked calmly: “Grandpa, they asked that no one be allowed to approach Yueluohe…”
The village chief frowned: “Although it is a little inconvenient, but… since it is a request from an expert, let’s agree.”
Ruan Xue tentatively asked, “Is this an expert invited by Grandpa?”
The village head nodded, “I also heard the introduction from the head of the next village. It is said that these four experts are powerful. Although I am not sure whether they can solve this problem completely, it is good to have someone to help.”
“Another village?”
Ruan Xue didn’t think there was any neighboring village nearby, but because the identities of Fu Yongyan and the others were arranged by the system, this non-existent village was also possible.
Ruan Xuedao: “But what if they fail to do this well and delay the sacrifice of the river god…”
The village chief’s expression darkened.
He was originally a depressed old man, but when his face was depressed like this, the lines of the ravine appeared cloudy and cloudy under the light of the ceiling lamp, and the shadows under his eyebrows seemed to hide some man-eating monsters, and there was something repeatedly It will tear the old man’s bark-like texture and break through at any time.
Ruan Xue moved his fingertips, and his back felt cold.
He realized even more that the npcs in this village were not simple, if they had forced their way in at the beginning, they might not have triggered any mechanism.
Soon, the village chief’s face returned to normal, “No matter what they want to arrange, the sacrifice must be held according to the time, and this cannot be changed.”
Ruan Xue nodded slightly.
The village chief sighed, “Hey, in a few days, you can go to the ancestral hall with me, look through the previous records, and see if you can find anything.
I am old and dim-sighted by myself, and outsiders can’t believe it. You are the only one who can help me take a look when you come back from vacation. “
Ruan Xue was secretly happy, and nodded calmly.
Jiang Yu and the others used their identities to inquire about news in the village.
Although the most basic information was found out, it was better than nothing.
As mentioned in the background information, Yueluo Village is located in a remote place and is not a modern village, so there are still some feudal superstitious activities here, such as the annual sacrifice to the River God.
This village is like Chenjiazhuang in Journey to the West. It believes in the so-called river **** and offers sacrifices every year.
Originally, Jiang Yu was just guessing what the sacrificial objects were, but since Ruan Shu could arrange the identity of the sacrificial objects for Zhong Yu, it meant that existence was reasonable, and the sacrificial objects in the village really included human beings.
And the inquiring news also illustrates this point.
In addition to live pigs, cattle and sheep, girls were also pushed into the middle of the river.
Generally, sacrifices to the river **** are made on an auspicious day just after the new year, so that the river **** can bless the new year with well-being, and it is not at the same time as offering sacrifices to the kitchen god.
But this year, when the late winter turned to early spring, a strange thing happened. It was less than four or five months after the sacrifice to the river god, there was a sudden heavy rain, accompanied by thunder and lightning, for seven days in a row.
Although the villagers at that time thought it was weird, they thought it was the **** of the river, so they didn’t do anything superfluous except praying to the **** of the river every day.
But who knows that from this day on, strange things began to happen in the village.
First, there were consecutive droughts. Although spring rain is as expensive as oil, it would be too bizarre to not have a drop of rain in the whole spring and early summer.
Then, the children who went to play by the Yueluo River drowned, and a girl in the village disappeared…
This chain of events suggests that something has happened.
