Chapter 485: 485
Were those men mercenaries from the Cave Wolves Mercenary Group?
Du Lang had mentioned that they encountered a surprise raid in the small village . Even though most of them managed to escape, a few were too severely injured to do so . Du Lang was convinced that they had passed away .
However, the four people in the chamber were still alive, even though they looked weak . It did not look like they were in any mortal danger . Their injuries had probably exhausted them to the point of unconsciousness .
Did Uncle Nine save all of them?
If he did, then he must have known about the attack on the Cave Wolves Mercenary Group .
Shen Yanxiao was sure that he knew why the village was so strange .
However, why did Ah Ke and Old Ba act as if they had no recollection about the attack?
More questions began to pile up . The only thing that Shen Yanxiao was certain was that Uncle Nine kept some secrets, but it did not look like he was a bad person . He would not have saved those four people otherwise, and it did not look like he wanted anyone to know about their presence in his basement .
Could someone from the village want to harm them?
Shen Yanxiao frowned . It was difficult for her to picture the villagers here as vile characters . On the other hand, she did not find any other suspicious people there as well .
Without any answer to those questions, Shen Yanxiao had even more doubts about Uncle Nine .
That itself made the mysterious village even more unfathomable .
Shen Yanxiao pondered more about the situation at hand . At the moment, she had no further plans for the four people that she had found . She still had to go to the Graveyard of the Sun . If she were to wake them up now, then she would not be able to proceed with her initial plan . Other accidents might happen too .
Uncle Nine hid them well, and he protected them . At least they were safe there .
Shen Yanxiao would never leave them behind . Therefore, she had decided that she would find a way to take them with her after she obtained the Skeleton Flower from the Graveyard of the Sun .
As she made up her mind, Shen Yanxiao took four bottles of healing potions from her interspatial ring and fed them with it so that they could recover faster .
When she had the chance, Shen Yanxiao checked out the rest of the basement, but she found nothing else apart from the gallipots .
Then, she decided to leave the basement . She met up with the Vermilion Bird in the kitchen, and they placed the slate slab back into its original position .
“Let’s go . ” Shen Yanxiao glanced at the Vermilion Bird . In any case, she must go to the Graveyard of the Sun and find the Skeleton Flower there .
It was the dead of the night, and the comfort that came with the day had faded into the background . Darkness enveloped the ground, and freaky animal howls and wails echoed under the night sky . It shattered the silence of the night .
When Shen Yanxiao and the Vermillion Bird left Uncle Nine’s house, the only sound that lingered in their ears was apprehensive bellows .
It sounded as if those noises came from the village entrance . Deep-hearted roars were mingled with screams of terror .
It was hard to imagine that such awful sounds would come to such a quiet and peaceful village .
Stories of Cave Wolves Mercenary Group’s attack surfaced in Shen Yanxiao’s mind . She squinted her eyes in an attempt to see in the dark . She had doubts about the situation, but she still needed to go to the Graveyard of the Sun . That was their ultimate goal .
Without any hint of hesitation, Shen Yanxiao and the Vermillion Bird hid in the darkness as they dashed toward the other end of the village .
