Chapter 1795: Chapter 1795 Strange Villages
In the days that followed, they also encountered many of these cannibalistic starving people.
Some of the bolder ones couldn’t help but come up and attack them.
Ye Liuyun and the martial practitioner also cleared them out whenever they encountered them, so they wouldn’t harm others again.
Manshu and Black Panther also cultivated the poison source to a preliminary level. Only then did Ye Liuyun allow them to come out again.
Suddenly, Ye Liuyun’s Divine Sense detected a peculiar village. It was bustling with people, numbering in the hundreds. Among them were martial practitioner with various levels of cultivation.
The reason it felt strange was that Ye Liuyun discovered that those starving people dared not approach the village.
Mind you, some of those starving people dared to attack even their large group. What could be in this village that would make those irrational starving people feel scared?
Xiao Yunfang also received a message from the scout, instructing the team to stop.
"Shall we go and scout ahead first?" Zhang Wentai said to Xiaoyun Fang proactively.
He felt that following Xiao Yunfang, they were always being taken care of, and their people were not getting any exercise.
"Okay" Xiao Yunfang did not refuse either.
Just as Ye Liuyun and the others were about to leave, the female soldier who had challenged Ye Liuyun suddenly sent him a message: "Don’t trust anyone! Especially those villagers! who look kind and friendly!"
Ye Liuyun didn’t understand what she meant, but it seemed like she was being kind. So he thanked her and then followed the other martial practitioner away.
Ye Liuyun’s Divine Sense also detected that after they left, Xiao Yunfang personally led four teams of a hundred people each to follow them from a distance, as if to protect them.
The village ahead also looked stranger the more Ye Liuyun looked at it.
While it also looked very poor, it was definitely not as dilapidated as the previous villages, and seemed to be regularly inhabited. Many people were even growing a lot of vegetables around their houses.
Compared to other villages, this place could be considered a paradise.
The highest cultivation level among the martial practitioner here is just an old man at early second stage, with most of them being at the first stage.
These villagers were very nervous when they saw Ye Liuyun and the others. The martial practitioner all rushed out and blocked Ye Liuyun and the others outside the village.
The elder in the middle aged years asked them from a distance, "Who are you? Are you here to rob us? We’re very poor here, there’s nothing of value for you to take!"
"We’re just passing through, stopping by the village to rest for a bit. We won’t rob you," replied one of them, a martial practitioner name Ye Liuyun, from their group.
Seeing Ye Liuyun and the other approach, the middle-aged elder in the middle stage of the second realm also didn’t immediately act, feeling a bit relieved.
"Something’s not right" Ye Liuyun and Golden Phantom Eyes noticed that the virtuoso of these martial practitioner were all blood-red in color, tinged with black, emitting a faint Devil Qi.
"Could it be that these people are all be devil cultivator?"
Ye Liuyun speculated inwardly, warning Lei Ming and the others to be cautious.
Lei Ming also said, "I also sense Devil Qi emanating from them!"
The Black Panther then informed everyone that these the sinister aura emanating from these bearing similarities to the aura of those starving beggars, yet not entirely the same.
"As long as you’re not to rob us, that’s fine! Masters, please come into the village and rest, Sit down and have a cup of tea! I am the village chief here...," The elder also introduced himself warmly and invited them into the village.
The villagers also enthusiastically welcomed them, with several women even coming out to greet Lei Ming and the other women. There was even a little girl who approached Lei Ming, reaching out to hold her hand.
"Some of them are being overly friendly!" Ye Liuyun reminded everyone.
"Village chief, why don’t those cannibalistic folks outside dare to come near your place?" Ye Liuyun asked the village chief directly.
" They often linger outside and frequently attack us. We have many martial practitioner here, so they cant’s defeat us. After a while, they dare not come anymore," the village chief explained.
However, Ye Liuyun didn’t agree. Those starving people dared to attack even the army, they wouldn’t be afraid of just a few martial practitioner like them.
They were led to the village chief’s residence, but his house was too small to accommodate so many people. Some villagers invited them to sit separately in the neighboring and offered them some tea.
The little girl also took Lei Ming’s hand, and asked Lei Ming to go to her house.
"No need, we’ll just stand here for a while!" Ye Liuyun, said with a few people beside him, standing outside in the courtyard. Zhang Wencai and Pei Yong followed the old man into the courtyard.
Seeing Leiming not following her, the little girl just played with her on the side without any fuss. She also beckoned a few more children to gather around the group of women.
Several village women also gathered around the women, admiring their beauty and expressing curiosity about their military uniforms.
All the villagers were friendly and kind to them, and there seemed to be no issues at all.
However, Ye Liuyun still remembered the words of caution from the female soldier and remained cautions towards this peculiar village.
Zhang Wencai and Pei Yong also inquired about the situation here and recent information about nearby cities from the old man. They also didn’t want to keep following Xiao Yunfang indefinitely.
The old man also brewed tea for them while honestly disclosing everything, showing no signs of deceit.
But after Ye Liuyun glanced at the tea water, he observed the tea leaves in the teapot with the Golden Phantom Eyes.
The tea was unnaturally green. Moreover, after Ye Liuyun scanned the tea with the Golden Phantom Eyes, he discovered that the tea leaves were a hallucinogenic herb called Starry Grass.
"Village chief, what kind of tea is this?" Ye Liuyun intentionally asked loudy, reminding Zhang Wencai and Pei Yong.
The two of them were originally going to drink, but soon as Ye Liuyun inquired, they immediately put down their tea cups again.
The martial practitioner sitting among the neighboring villagers drinking tea immediately put down his tea cup with vigilance.
“Haha, I think you’ve misunderstood! This isn’t tea at all! Where would we get tea leaves here? These are all grown by our villagers, called Starry Grass. After drinking it, it does indeed have hallucinogenic effects. But in small amounts, it can keep someone energized throughout the day! Everyone in our village drinks this!"
The village chief, as he spoke, even demonstrated it himself by drinking a cup directly.
Other villagers also followed suit, and some martial practitioner tasted it with reassurance.
Ye Liuyun, seeing him admit truthfully, also felt like perharps he had been overly suspicious.
But Zhang Wencai and Pei Yong never picked up their tea cups again. Instead, they continued to inquire about the situation at the border.
Ye Liuyun suddenly asked the village chief, “Village chief, what resources do the martial practitioner in your village use for cultivation?”
The village chief frowned and said to Ye Liuyun, "How could you be interested in our cultivation resources?"
However, Ye Liuyun smiled and said, "We’re not going to rob you, just curious!"
The other martial practitioner also wanted to know, and immediately looked towards the village chief.
"Well, then, i’ll show it to you!"
Saying so, the old man took out a blood-red second-tier pill from Interspatial Ring.
“Human blood!” Before Ye Liuyun could carefully examine it, the Black Panther smelled the scent and informed Ye Liuyun.
Ye Liuyun also used the Golden Phantom Eyes again, and discovered the Devil Qi inside the pill/.
