Chapter 314: Feeling a bit uneasy

After hearing this, Luo Wei and Luo Lingwei were surprised and confused.

They looked at those "goblins" carefully and found that they indeed had no intention of attacking. Instead, they were busy in the village, some were carrying goods, some were building houses, and some were even helping with farming in the fields.

"This...is this really a fairy?" Lowe asked in disbelief.

"Yes, they are fairies. Fairies and humans coexist peacefully in places blessed by the mountain god. If you stay here for a while, you will gradually get used to it."

Luo Lingwei looked at the busy goblins, with a hint of curiosity in her eyes: "They... really won't hurt anyone?"

Chief Wumu nodded, with a hint of pride in his tone: "Of course not. These fairies will not only not hurt people, but also help us with work. Look over there, the fairy with wings is helping us carry wood; and the one with horns on its head is helping to plow the fields. They are good helpers for our village!"

After hearing this, Luo Wei and Luo Lingwei were shocked and moved.

They never thought that goblins could live in peace with humans and even help humans with work.

"I am the head of Wumu Village. You are from Yongmu Village, right?"

When Luo Wei, Luo Lingwei and their group heard the old man in front of them claim to be the chief of Wumu Village, they were stunned.

They didn't expect that this ordinary-looking old man was actually the chief of the Ebony Village they were looking for.

"You...you are the chief of Ebony Village?" Lowe asked in disbelief.

Wumu Village Chief smiled and nodded, with a hint of intimacy in his tone: "Yes, I am Wumu Village Chief. The mountain god had already appeared in my dream last night, saying that you would come today. I know why you are here, don't worry, I will show you our village."

Luo Wei and Luo Lingwei looked at each other, their eyes full of surprise and gratitude.

They didn't expect that the mountain god had even informed the chief of Wumu Village of their arrival in advance.

This made them even more awed by the magical powers of the mountain god.

Led by the village chief Wumu, Lowe and his party began to visit Yilan Village.

Along the way, Wumu Village Chief enthusiastically introduced the situation of the village to them.

"Look, those are our village's farmlands." Village chief Wumu pointed to a green field and said with a hint of pride, "The crops in those fields are cultivated by the fairies. They are strong and work fast, and our village's harvest is much better than before."

Luo Wei and Luo Lingwei looked in the direction pointed by Wu Mu Village Chief, and sure enough, they saw several huge goblins busy in the fields.

Some of them were plowing the fields, some were sowing seeds, their movements were skillful and quick, as if they were born to be good at farm work.

"This... is truly amazing." Luo Lingwei murmured in a low voice, her eyes full of disbelief.

Village Chief Wumu smiled and continued, "Over there is our village's workshop. Fairies not only do farm work, but also help make tools and furniture. Look, the winged fairy is carrying wood. It is much stronger than us humans."

Luo Wei and Luo Lingwei followed the instructions of the Ebony Village Chief and saw a huge fairy easily carrying a thick piece of wood with its wings. Its movements were agile and quick.

The villagers were directing the actions, while the fairies were busy following the instructions. The scene was very harmonious.

After visiting the farmland and workshops, Wumu Village Chief brought Lowe and his party to the mountain temple in the center of the village.

The temple is filled with the smoke of incense and the villagers are worshipping devoutly.

"This is the mountain temple of our village." Village chief Wumu said with a hint of respect, "The mountain god protects our village and keeps us safe from attacks by monsters. Since you are here, please go in and burn some incense."

Luo Wei and Luo Lingwei nodded and walked into the mountain temple respectfully.

There is a tall statue of the mountain god enshrined in the temple. The statue has a kind face and gentle eyes, as if watching everyone who comes to worship.

Luo Wei and Luo Lingwei took the incense handed over by the village chief Wumu and respectfully inserted it into the incense burner.

They closed their eyes and prayed silently in their hearts: "Lord Mountain God, please protect our Yongmu Manor from being attacked by monsters and beasts."

…

After coming out of the mountain temple, Village Chief Wumu brought Lowe and his party to the village meeting hall.

He asked someone to bring tea and motioned for everyone to sit down.

Village Chief Wumu said with a hint of seriousness: "I also know something about the situation in your village. The fact that Zhao Hong colluded with monsters to attack your village is indeed outrageous. So you must complete the ceremony of inviting the gods as soon as possible, so that your village can enjoy the complete protection of the mountain god. Then you don't have to worry about monster attacks anymore."

"Village Chief Wumu, thank you so much!" Lowe said excitedly, with a hint of sob in his tone.

Village Chief Wumu waved his hand, with a hint of kindness in his tone: "You're welcome. We are all believers of the Mountain God, and we should help each other. When you go back, remember to spread the kindness of the Mountain God to the villagers, so that more people will believe in the Mountain God."

Luo Wei and Luo Lingwei nodded repeatedly, and their faith in the Mountain God deepened a little bit.

The village chief Wumu also told them mysteriously that they would receive a mysterious gift after the mountain temple was built.

A mysterious gift?

What is that?

Lowe didn't think much about it, he just thought that it was given to them by the chief of Wumu Village personally or on behalf of Yilan Village after it was built.

On the other side, Zhao Hong stood on the hillside outside Yongmu Manor, his brows furrowed, his eyes fixed on the village in the distance.

His heart was full of doubts and uneasiness, because the monster he sent out had not returned since the agreed time.

"What's going on? Why haven't those monsters come back yet?" Zhao Hong murmured in a low voice, with a hint of anxiety in his tone.

He originally planned to let the monsters attack Yongmu Manor to teach Luo Lingwei and her fellow villagers a profound lesson, so that they would know the consequences of offending him - if they dared to break off his engagement and slap him in the face, he would make it impossible for them to stay in Yongmu Manor, and they would be spat on and cursed by thousands of people, and would never have peace for the rest of their lives.

However, the development of the matter was completely beyond his expectations. Several days passed, and he did not find any trace of the monster in its lair.

"Did something unexpected happen?" Zhao Hong felt vaguely uneasy. He clenched the magic weapon in his hand and decided to go to Yongmu Manor in person to find out what was going on.

If Yongmu Manor had been destroyed, maybe the monster had changed its lair. If Yongmu Manor had not been destroyed...

When Zhao Hong sneaked into Yongmu Manor, he was shocked by the scene before him.

The village was peaceful. The villagers were busy constructing a new building with smiles on their faces. There was no sign of being attacked by monsters.

"How... is this possible?"

Zhao Hong widened his eyes, his heart filled with shock.

He hid in the dark and carefully observed the situation in the village.

Soon, he discovered that there was a new mountain temple in the center of the village. There was incense burning in front of the temple and the villagers were worshiping devoutly.

"Mountain Temple? When did they build the Mountain Temple?"

Zhao Hong became even more confused.

Just then, he heard a conversation between several villagers.

"Thanks to the Mountain God. If He hadn't arrived in time, our village would have been finished!" a villager said excitedly.

"Yes, as soon as those monsters saw the Mountain God, they immediately ran away without even daring to look back!" another villager echoed.

When Zhao Hong heard this, his heart sank.

He finally understood why the monsters he sent out did not come back - they were scared away by the mountain god!

"Lord Mountain God? When did Yongmu Manor have the protection of the Mountain God?" Zhao Hong was shocked and angry. "What the hell is this Mountain God? How come I have never heard of him..."

A figure quietly appeared behind him.
