485 - Nightfall (3)

This group of people was from Cave Wolves Mercenary Corps?

Du Lang once said that they suffered a surprise attack in this small village. Although most of them were able to escape, there were a handful of people who were unable to leave because of heavy injuries and then died. Du Lang thought that these group had already died, but...

The four individuals before Shen Yanxiao were clearly alive. Although their bodies were somewhat weak, their lives weren't something to be worried about. They simply could not wake up because they were too degenerate.

Did Uncle Jiu save them?

If Uncle Jiu saved them, then Uncle Jiu must know about the attack on the Cave Wolves Mercenary Corps.

And that also meant that Uncle Jiu definitely knew the strangeness of the village.

Just, why did Little Ke and Old Ba didn't have any recollection of it at all?

More and more questions had formed. The only thing Shen Yanxiao was certain right now was that although Uncle Jiu was odd or hiding some secrets, at least he was not a bad person. Otherwise, he had absolutely no reasons to save the four people. The reason why Uncle Jiu had hidden them in such a basement, most likely, was because he did not want others to find their existence.

Could it be that someone in the village wanted to harm these four people?

Shen Yanxiao frowned slightly. It was really hard to imagine that the villagers in this village were bad people. However, apart from these villagers, she did not find other suspicious people inside the village.

A series of questions have not been unraveled, yet the questions related to Uncle Jiu had increased a lot.

This made the already very mysterious village become even more baffling.

Shen Yanxiao pondered for a moment. For the time being, she did not do any further action to the four people because she still needed to go to the Sun Graveyard. If she was to wake these four people up now, let alone not being able to go to the Sun Graveyard, she couldn't guarantee that they wouldn't come across with any accidents.

.

Uncle Jiu hid them so well, and also treated their injuries, at least, they were safe for now.

Shen Yanxiao would not leave the Cave Wolves Mercenary Corps people no matter what, so she decided that after she obtained the Skeleton Flower from the Sun Graveyard, she would immediately think of ways to take the four people away.

Having made plans, Shen Yanxiao took out four bottles of Healing Potions from her storage ring and made the four people drink them down. These would make them recover more quickly.

On the way, Shen Yanxiao looked around the basement again and found that there was nothing but a few pots of medicine.

After a moment, Shen Yanxiao left the basement, emerged in the kitchen and reunited with Vermilion Bird, they then put the slate back to its place.

"Let's go." Shen Yanxiao glanced at Vermilion Bird. No matter what, she was going to enter the Sun Graveyard tonight and get the Skeleton Flower.

In the middle of the night, the calm of the day faded and the darkness enveloped the land. Suddenly, the weird roars of beasts and cries of wailing echoed under the night sky, breaking the still silence.

After Shen Yanxiao and Vermilion Bird left Uncle Jiu's house, their ears were flooded with horrifying screams.

Those sounds came from the entrance of the village. It was like shrieks from depths of the heart mixed with screams of horror.

It was difficult to imagine such terrifying sounds in such a cozy village.

Shen Yanxiao recalled the fact that the Cave Wolves Mercenary Corps were attacked when they were passing through this village. She squinted her eyes. Though her heart was full of doubts, going to the Sun Graveyard was her ultimate goal!

Without any hesitation, Shen Yanxiao and Vermilion Bird concealed themselves in the dark and ran towards the other end of the village.
