They did not know how they came across this village, and they were not sure if they would encounter the same village again.
Jiang Ming saw through Sikong Wuyuan’s thoughts. He quickly said, “We can do things separately. That way, it won’t be difficult. I won’t feel any pressure.
As for Yuan Hehe, he made his own choice. He can go with whoever he wants.” Hearing this, Sikong Wuyuan could not help but struggle.
He did not want to separate, but he did not want to force Jiang Ming to listen to his plan.
“No.” He shook his head. “Jiu Zhu, do as you wish.”
When the village chief saw that Jiang Ming did not speak for a long time, he could not help but panic. His voice trembled. “Are you feeling unwell? Do you need us to do something for you? Although this village is a little dilapidated, there is still some food. Please don’t mind.’
“What are you saying? 1 have nothing to be dissatisfied with.”
Seeing that the village chief was being so polite to him, Jiang Ming also became polite. Then, he said, “Isn’t tomorrow the time to talk to the divine beast? Just let me go then.”
Upon hearing this, the village chief, who was about to stand up, immediately knelt down and quickly kowtowed.
This time, he cried harder than before.
“Destined One, you can’t do this. You’re a unique noble. How can you go in and chat with the divine beast? Although the divine beast is our benefactor, your status is different after all. At that time, if there is a conflict between us, then I won’t be able to explain it. You carry all the blessings of the village, so you can’t argue.”
Jiang Ming was speechless.
The village chief was very cunning.
Seeing the divine beast was too tempting for Jiang Ming. He could not resist his curiosity.
Yuan Hehe said as he rubbed his belly, “I’m a little hungry. Chief, bring everything up and cook something for us to eat.”
The village chief touched his forehead and nodded. “I’ll let the villagers go.
However, I hope that you can reconsider. This is not a long-term solution. Moreover, everything we have in the village is because of the divine beast. If anything happens to the divine beast, everything in the village will probably disappear without a trace.”
Although his words were amicable, his stance was clear. It was obvious that he did not want Jiang Ming to go forward.
The village chief had already thought it through.
If Jiang Ming still wanted to communicate with the divine beast first, then he did not mind finding a way to lock him up.
It did not matter how special Jiang Ming was. The divine beast was their savior. They could not betray it even if they had to sacrifice the entire village.
Then, he realized that there were more bruises on his body, so he immediately covered them with his clothes.
Jiang Ming saw the bruises clearly and pretended to compromise. “Since you’ve said so, I won’t go. You can find a villager to communicate with the divine beast. However, I’m still a little curious. I don’t know if you can answer my questions.”
Upon hearing this, Sikong Wuyuan and Yuan Hehe quickly went over, their eyes filled with curiosity.
Since Jiang Ming said so, they would definitely be curious about it.
However, they did not expect Jiang Ming to give up so quickly. They had a vague feeling that this was just a strategy.
In fact, Jiang Ming did not want to give up at all.
From the looks of it, they still had to continue discussing this matter. They could not let the secret of this village continue to be hidden like this. The village chief was a little suspicious as he looked at Jiang Ming.
“Is there anything you want to know?”
In his heart, he felt afraid.
He covered the bruises just now. Could it be that Jiang Ming wanted to know about the bruises?
They could not let him know about this. At that time, their entire village would be in disaster.
Thinking of this, he quickly denied it.
How was this possible?
He had covered up the bruises completely, so there would definitely not be any accidents.
However, in the next second, he could not help but feel a little regretful.
“l saw some bruises on the villagers and you just now. These bruises are of different sizes and don’t look like they were caused by fighting. Did you make a deal with that the divine beast?”
Jiang Ming had already guessed everything, but he still wanted to ask.
He felt that no matter what, no matter what the village chief said, there would definitely be some clues in his expression. At that time, even if the village chief did not want to say anything, his expression should have revealed everything. He would not need to probe.
Sure enough, in the next second, the village chief’s expression changed. What was even more surprising was that he actually took out a dagger from his waist and plunged it straight at Jiang Ming.
Seeing that the village chief was coming at him menacingly, Jiang Ming could not help but be a little surprised. He caught the dagger with his bare hands, but he did not fight back.
In his opinion, the village chief must have had some other reasons.
Instead of them fighting like this, it was better to wait and see what would happen. He still wanted to find the divine beast, so he could not fight him like this.
Sikong Wuyuan’s and Yuan Hehe’s eyes widened.
Wasn’t this village chief still respectful to them just a second ago? Why was he going to kill them in the next second?
Could it be that everything just now was an act?
Thinking of this, they became angry. To think that they had believed the village chief’s words! In the end, everything he said was a lie.
They wanted to see what this village chief wanted to do.
“Hey, Chief, didn’t you just ask for peace? What does this mean?”
Yuan Hehe could not afford to lose, so he quickly spoke with a cold look in his eyes.
If the village chief still wanted to attack them, then they would fight back Although he also wanted to be respectful to the old man, the current situation did not allow him to do so.
Sikong Wuyuan was also ready to attack.
He had the same thoughts as Yuan Hehe. He could not tolerate this behavior.
It was fine if the village chief treated him like this, but if he attacked Yuan Hehe or Jiu Zhu, that would not do.
Seeing that the situation was critical, the village chief realized that he had been impulsive. He coughed and quickly shook his head. “No, I did want to make peace, but I thought that you wanted to hurt the divine beast, so I was impulsive. I hope you can forgive me.”
He was a little flustered.
He did not expect to fail..
