This time, they had no choice but to take the risk because Ye Leng’an seemed to be the most suitable candidate. However, she was still worried that it would cause trouble for the village.
“It won’t happen.” Duo Ji’s expression was full of ruthlessness. “As long as we keep all of them in the village forever, who will know that their accident has something to do with us? Moreover, there’s no signal in our village. Their families will definitely not be able to find us. Also, even if they find us, with the Golden Gu King around, we have nothing to fear.”
Although Hali Maya was worried, she wouldn’t try to dissuade him. Because she knew very well that the plan would not be shelved just because she objected to it. Moreover, in her heart, she also wanted to leave this village. Even if she could not walk out, she hoped that her children could walk out instead of being trapped here for generations and isolated from the outside world.
After everyone in the house had gone to bed, Ye Leng’an retracted her divine sense. Her expression was filled with doubt.
Now, she already knew that she was the target of this family. As for what she would be used for, she still didn’t know. This family, even when they were talking with each other, was so secretive that she could not figure out what was going on.
However, she was certain that this village was definitely a strange place. Previously, she had heard the guide, Xiao Hu, say that the people in this village rarely left. Now, it seemed that it was not that they did not want to leave, but that they had no way to leave.
It was obvious that everything they had done, even the lives they had taken, was to leave the village. What kind of secret did this village hold?
Moreover, she was most curious about the Golden Gu King that Duo Ji mentioned. She did not know much about Gu worms, but it did not hinder her understanding of the Golden Gu King.
There could be many Gu kings, but there was only one Golden Gu King. No matter what, it was impossible to nurture a second Golden Gu King. This was because if the Golden Gu King wanted to mature and become a true Golden Gu
King, it had to drink the blood of the previous Golden Gu King. When the young Golden Gu King matured, it would feed on the old Golden Gu King’s blood and become the new Golden Gu King.
If it did not drink the blood of the previous Golden Gu King, it would not be able to become a true Golden Gu King. No matter how powerful it was, it could only become a Gu King, not a Golden Gu King.
It seemed that there were many secrets in this village, and they were hidden very deeply!
Ye Leng’an slept until dawn. She woke up refreshed the next morning.
They didn’t have breakfast in the house. Instead, they went out for breakfast so that they could taste the local specialties.
After breakfast, the three of them strolled around the village. They didn’t let the other hired bodyguards follow him. Firstly, it should be safe in this village. At least until Duo Ji and the others made their move, they were safe. Secondly, if Duo Ji and the others really attacked, these bodyguards would be useless. They would only die in vain.
Ye Leng’an was interested in some of the unique local handmade products, but she just had a look and didn’t buy them.
When it was lunchtime, they didn’t go back to the house. Instead, they found a restaurant to eat. In fact, it was just a small wooden house, but it had a note of antiquity and also a small private room.
Ye Leng’an and the others naturally ate in this private room.
After confirming that there were no surveillance devices or items in the room and that there was no one watching outside the door, Ye Leng’an said, “You didn’t find anything last night, right?”
Although it was a question, she said it in a certain tone.
Huangfu Ruiling raised his eyebrows and then nodded. “Li San went out to snoop around the village last night. Many people returned to their rooms after dinner and never came out again. Then, Li San went out again and realized that the people in this village seemed to be used to working at sunrise and resting at sunset. Moreover, although there are daily appliances such as fridges and air conditioning in this village, there is a very strange phenomenon..”
