Sure enough, the further we went, the more corpses we saw.

Yan Xiaoxiao counted thirteen people in her mind. She had heard from Wu Jianmin before that there were thirty people in the expedition team. In addition to two villagers who lived at the foot of the mountain who served as guides, there was also a professor from the Geological University with his four students. The other twenty-three were all from R country.

Now that so many people have died, the remaining people must be in a bad situation. Yan Xiaoxiao noticed the clothes and certain features of these corpses, and estimated that they were all from R country.

The group continued walking until they reached the edge of the dense forest when the east was getting light.

There was a misty lake in the distance, with birds flying by from time to time. It was like entering a fairyland.

The spiritual energy that Yan Xiaoxiao had injected into everyone's eyes was just consumed at this moment, and everyone's vision instantly returned to normal. The insects that were still wriggling in front of their eyes the moment before disappeared.

They were still a little uncomfortable and all looked at Yan Xiaoxiao.

Yan Xiaoxiao shrugged, "The spiritual energy has been consumed, and you have returned to normal!" Everyone breathed a sigh of relief. It's good to be back to normal, it's good to be back to normal!

The moment Yan Xiaoxiao followed everyone out of the dense forest, she was startled. She felt a familiar dizzy feeling. It turned out to be the teleportation array.

Sure enough, the scenery changed, and there was no lake anymore.

In front of them was a village. Backed by a mountain, the village was peaceful and quiet. A group of people suddenly appeared at the entrance of the village.

Yan Xiaoxiao quickly looked around. There were terraces on both sides of the village entrance. The green rice fields were scattered in an orderly manner. The eyes were full of green, and the tip of the nose was filled with the fragrance of soil.

There was a big willow tree at the entrance of the village, and under the tree were many old people sitting and talking. When they suddenly saw the crowd appear, they were not afraid at all, but looked at them excitedly.

"Wow, more people are coming! Our village will be lively again with so many people."

"Who said they weren't? I just don't know if they are in the same group as the ones who came before."

"No matter if he is in the same group or not, I think they should all be locked up. They actually wanted to steal things, bah!"

"Let's go call the village chief first! Let him take a look. My eyes are blurry and I can't tell whether he is a good person or not."

The children who had been playing around the old man ran away, probably to call the village chief.

Wu Lang gestured to everyone to stay where they were. Seeing that there were only ordinary villagers around, the soldiers put away their weapons but remained on guard.

People at the entrance of the village pointed at Yan Xiaoxiao and her friends, and Yan Xiaoxiao looked at them with interest.

A fleeting sense of familiarity flashed through her mind, so fast that she couldn't catch it.

These people were dressed in modern clothes, and some of the older ones had neat short hair. It was obvious that they were in contact with the outside world.

Thinking of this, Yan Xiaoxiao breathed a sigh of relief.

At this time, a group of people came running from a distance, obviously coming directly from the fields. Some of them had muddy feet and some had mud spots on their clothes. They were holding hoes, sickles and other farm tools in their hands, and were following a white-haired old man.

Yan Xiaoxiao was stunned when she saw the old man leading the group. She had seen this man before in Feng Rao's memory.

But how is that possible? That was thousands of years ago, and no one could have lived that long, right?

Thinking of something, Yan Xiaoxiao looked around again and took a breath.

She finally knew what that familiar feeling was about!

Although the people in front of him were dressed differently, their faces were exactly the same as those in Feng Rao's memory.

She didn't think about it at first because it was too unbelievable.

"Who are you? Why are you here? How did you get in?" the village chief asked a series of questions.

Yan Xiaoxiao stared at the village chief. No matter how she looked at him, he looked like a normal person, not a monster.

Wu Lang took a step forward, and the villagers immediately tightened their grip on the farm tools in their hands and took a defensive stance.

Wu Lang hurriedly said, "Don't be afraid, Village Chief. We are not bad people. We are here to look for someone."

"Who are you looking for?" The village chief's tone became even more alert.

"Looking for an expedition team. We lost contact with them about two months ago."

"Are you in league with them?"

Yan Xiaoxiao sensed something was wrong in the other person's words. She felt a chill all over her body as if she was being stared at by a ferocious beast. She spoke first, "No, most of those people are from R country. We are here to arrest them."

Wu Lang didn't know why Yan Xiaoxiao said that, but he had seen Yan Xiaoxiao's abilities along the way, so he knew she must have a reason for saying that, so he shut up and let Yan Xiaoxiao communicate with the village chief.

The villagers didn't notice Yan Xiaoxiao hiding in the crowd at all, but her voice attracted everyone's attention.

The village chief and the villagers were all stunned when they saw Yan Xiaoxiao, not for any other reason, but because Yan Xiaoxiao had the aura of their master.

The village chief's tears flowed down and he trembled and couldn't speak.

Yan Xiaoxiao frowned in confusion. What happened?

She didn't do anything to anger anyone! Why were these people crying at her?

She wasn't terminally ill, nor was she seriously injured, and she wasn't dead! What did these people mean by crying over her?

Yan Xiaoxiao opened her eyes wide, looked at this and then at that, and finally her eyes became sore that she couldn't help blinking.

The old men under the willow tree also noticed something was wrong and supported each other as they walked towards Yan Xiaoxiao and the others.

As they got closer, they seemed to notice something and their pace quickened!

Until they stood in front of Yan Xiaoxiao, their tears began to fall.

Yan Xiaoxiao couldn't help but take two steps back. Are these people sick?

The old village chief cried for a long time before wiping the tears from his face. "Please forgive me, this little girl looks very similar to someone in our village before, but that person is gone."

Wu Lang listened to the village chief's explanation and consoled him with understanding, "Please accept my condolences!"

The village chief was very enthusiastic. "Since you are here, you are a guest. Please come into the village."

As soon as he finished speaking, the villagers behind him automatically stood on both sides, leaving a path in the middle.

Wu Lang did not agree immediately.

The village chief remembered something: "Aren't you looking for someone? There are a few outsiders in our village. Do you want to meet them?"

Yan Xiaoxiao raised her eyebrows, but secretly became more alert. The village chief let them into the village, obviously he had other intentions.

Wu Lang also thought of this and looked at Yan Xiaoxiao quietly. When he saw her nod, he led everyone towards the village.

The group was led by the village chief into the ancestral hall in the middle of the village. It was a very old building, but there was no tablet. The room was large and had many chairs.

After everyone sat down, the village chief ordered people to bring in outsiders who had entered the village, and also asked people to serve tea quickly, and good tea!

He also asked people to prepare meals and instructed them to make sure they were plentiful.

Yan Xiaoxiao and Wu Lang looked at each other and saw wariness and confusion in each other's eyes.

Yan Xiaoxiao was fine, she didn't sense any malice from these people.

Not long after, more than a dozen people were led in. All of them looked pale, and some of them had blood on their bodies, obviously injured.

When they came in and saw Wu Lang and his group, their eyes were filled with surprise. Wow, finally someone came to save them!

Professor Feng looked at the familiar figures and recognized at a glance that they were all soldiers. They must have been sent by the country. His eyes immediately filled with tears.

He was deceived by his own disciple, who said that he was cooperating with an investigation team to investigate the canyon. However, when they met, he found out that it was not an investigation team at all, but some spies from Country R.

They were forced into this hellhole together and could never leave the village again. It wasn't that someone was stopping them from leaving, but they simply couldn't leave.

It was as if there was an invisible membrane surrounding the village, which could not be pierced or penetrated, and they were trapped inside. The strange thing was that these villagers could enter and leave freely.

"Are you here to save us? Kill these people quickly, they are monsters!"

A middle-aged man with a mustache was shouting in a strange tone, and it was obvious that he was from China.
