Chapter 084

Ahem, he swore, he really wasn't lucky...

Seeing the miserable state of these furry creatures, Cheng Hui not only didn't feel sympathy, but actually wanted to laugh...

Ahem, he swore, he really wasn't gloating, it was really... Lin Qingyang's act of revenge was too cute!

Cheng Hui controlled the corners of his mouth that were rising wildly, coughed twice, and comforted the bald kitten by saying, "Actually... there is a kind of cat that has no hair, called a hairless cat, and it is also very cute."

The kitten looked at him with tears in its eyes and was not comforted.

Cheng Hui's eyes wandered. Intellectually, he knew that he should educate Lin Qingyang and scold him for doing such a thing, but in reality... he just wanted to find a place to have a good laugh. The furry creatures without hair became all weird in shape, which was really funny.

Who would be most pleased when all the furry creatures in the village suffered such a disaster? It would undoubtedly be a little snake...

Because this little snake has no hair, it has always been separated from other furry creatures and they cannot usually play together.

Now that everyone has no hair, the little snake's beautiful scales suddenly stand out and it immediately becomes the center of attention among the children.

The villagers were at a loss whether to laugh or cry about what happened to the children. Even if a few of them were angry, they calmed down when they remembered that the person who did it was just a child under ten years old.

Everyone has been watching these past few days. These kids have been hanging around Cheng Hui all day, getting a lot of snacks. Many of them tasted so good that even they were greedy. So it's understandable that the kids are unhappy now.

The villagers didn't think it was a big deal and just laughed it off.

At the end of the day, shaving doesn't hurt the kids...at most, they just feel a little embarrassed, but adults don't care.

However, this also reminded them that although they had no hands and could not cook many foods, they could collect some delicious wild fruits and send them over.

It was their negligence, and it’s not too late to think about it now.

As a result, when Cheng Hui calmed down the group of children and returned to the courtyard where he lived, he found that many villagers had brought him a lot of wild fruits.

These wild fruits tasted very good. He picked two, washed them, handed one to Lin Qingyang, and took a bite of the other one.

With this bite, sweet juice flows out, filling your mouth with fragrance.

Cheng Hui was immediately amazed and decided to ask what kind of wild fruit it was to see if it was possible to transplant it.

"Ahem, Qingyang, you have shaved the children's hair, so you should be able to let them go," Cheng Hui asked cautiously.

Lin Qingyang looked at him while holding the fruit in his mouth and snorted.

It depends on your performance.

Although he didn't say anything, his meaning was very clear.

Cheng Hui touched his nose and said, "Okay, okay, I was wrong. I will dare to do it again next time..."

Of course, he would learn from his mistakes next time to avoid being caught by Lin Qingyang again.

Lin Qingyang was very satisfied with Cheng Hui's attitude of admitting his mistakes, so he nodded reluctantly and decided to let those naughty kids go.

——Although he had long known that the key to the matter lay with Cheng Hui, not that group of furry creatures.

But... after all, Cheng Hui is his sweetheart. He has always learned to vent his anger on others without any instruction.

After comforting Lin Qingyang, Cheng Hui could only say goodbye to Maorongrong with regret. At least in the village, he didn't dare to touch it again for fear of being discovered again.

The days of only being able to see but not touch were a bit hard to endure, but fortunately he didn't have to endure it for long, and soon the day of leaving came.

The village chief and the elder took the two men out of the village. The village chief held a black stone in his hand. Every time he walked for a while, he would hold the stone to determine the direction. After walking for about an afternoon, they finally arrived outside a valley.

"We're here." Village chief Tiger looked at the ancient mountain and said to Cheng Hui and the others.

Just as he finished speaking, several animals suddenly jumped out from the surroundings. Most of them were ferocious beasts, staring at Cheng Hui and the others with murderous eyes.

"Old Jin? This is really not fair of you. Why didn't you inform us that guests were coming?" A weasel walked out of the bushes slowly with its hands behind its back, staring at Cheng Hui greedily with its two golden eyes.

The Tiger Village Chief was clearly not impressed by the weasel and said coldly, "Why should we notify you of the guests our village has brought?"

The weasel turned his gaze, stared at the village chief and sneered: "Old Jin, don't forget the original agreement."

The village elder, Lao Jin, waved his claws and said, "I haven't forgotten! But these two are guests of our village. If you want to treat them, go and treat them yourself." After that, he took Cheng Hui and the other two into the valley.

The weasel kept staring at their backs, its two little eyes narrowed, and no one knew what it was thinking.

At this moment, a big gray-haired rat rushed out and squeaked twice at the weasel.

The weasel's face darkened. "The third brother has been missing for so long, why didn't anyone report it?"

Gray Mouse: Squeak.

The weasel frowned, wondering what he was thinking. "Although the Third Brother took an evil path, he is still one of us. Why didn't the Sixth and Seventh Brothers even say a word?"

"Go, find the Sixth and Seventh Brothers. I want to ask them, how could they, the two sworn brothers, just watch the man who killed the Third Brother leave?"

"Squeak." The gray mouse responded and left. Not long after, a monkey and a green snake came out from somewhere.

The weasel first scolded the two for their indifference to their brothers. Even though the third brother had gone astray, he never harmed his brothers. Instead of avenging the third brother, you two helped to conceal the truth?

The monkey and the green snake looked tired and admitted their mistakes with a smile, but everyone could see that they didn't take it seriously at all.

The weasel was also helpless. The nine brothers had sworn brotherhood and came out to open up a new village. At that time, everyone was united and put in a lot of effort for the new village.

But who could have thought that people's hearts are fickle, and several people who once had a very good relationship, as time passed, all developed their own selfish desires.

Although the other brothers had some conflicts in private, they got along well on the surface. Only the third brother got a kind of cultivation method from somewhere, which made him look like neither human nor ghost, and he had to find a new skin every once in a while.

As the eldest, the weasel had tried to persuade and scold the other party, but in the end, they still had to go their separate ways.

People with different ideas cannot work together. Due to some actions of the third brother, the other brothers became very dissatisfied. In the end, the third brother could only live alone at a distance from the village.

Since the third brother often went out alone to find food, he might not appear for a long time, which led to him not noticing that the person was gone. This time, if Huimao had not discovered some unusual traces, he might still be kept in the dark.

The weasel sighed, "Sixth, Seventh, and Third were wrong, but they were trying to find a way out for us. Otherwise, we would have been trapped here forever."

The monkey scratched his head with a grin: "It's not bad to be stuck here. Look, there are mountains, water and food here. Why go out?"

The weasel's face darkened: "Sixth Brother, have you forgotten everything our ancestors said?"

"I haven't forgotten, but I think if I want to leave here, I can't take those crooked ways."

The weasel sighed, "It's not easy to avoid taking shortcuts... This place has been sealed off for so long, no one has come in."

"Weren't there two people just now?" Green Snake said casually.

"They came here with Lao Jin. It seems they have been living at Lao Jin's place for quite a long time. Do you think we can poach them? Besides... I always think that people outside are not trustworthy. Only that fool Lao Jin actually trusts those outsiders." The weasel said disdainfully.

The monkey touched his nose and said, "Forget it, big brother, don't you still have two 'secret weapons' in your hand? That should be enough."

The weasel glared at him and said, "Shut up, be careful there are ears on the other side of the wall."

Monkey shrugged helplessly. His eldest brother wasn't a bad person, he just had some obsessions and insisted on going out. In his opinion, why bother? He really didn't think the outside world was much better than here.

Besides, if they were to go out into the world in the current state, they might cause some commotion, so it would be better for them to stay safe inside.

Anyway, neither he nor Lao Qi wanted to go out.

The weasel looked very disappointed, but he couldn't say anything unpleasant to the naughty monkey and the lazy green snake. He could only tell them to get out of here quickly and go to the front of the black tower to wait.

The monkey and the green snake patted their butts and left. The weasel thought about it and still felt unsure, so he asked the gray mouse to get out the secret weapon he had prepared.

Here, Cheng Hui and Lin Qingyang followed the village chief Lao Jin into the valley. After walking along the path for a while, they soon saw a three-story black tower.

"This is where you will enter later." Lao Jin looked at the black tower, not knowing what he was thinking about, with a look of emotion on his face.

Cheng Hui looked at the black tower and touched his chin: "It doesn't look very big. Is there another world inside?"

"That's right." The elder nodded. "The maze inside is enormous. There are no traps in the passage, but every few steps there is a small room. Some of these rooms are empty, some contain traps, and some contain tests left by senior masters. If you can pass the test, you can take the reward given by the senior. We suspect that the Hundred Beasts Map is one of the rewards left by a senior."

Cheng Hui understood that this black tower should also be some kind of inheritance. Unfortunately, the inheritance here is mainly in the form of objects, so the people living here have never been able to obtain the cultivation method.

Lao Jin took them to the door of the black tower. The towering black tower was made of some kind of black boulder. Cheng Hui noticed that the stone in the hand of the village chief Lao Jin seemed to be of the same material as the black tower, and it was obviously used specifically to find the black tower.

They waited for a while, and soon, many more people came into the valley.

Cheng Hui noticed that some of them were disciples from other sects who entered the ancient tomb with them.

Judging from their clothes, they should be from Tianming Sect and Huanxi Temple. I didn’t see anyone from Liuguang Sword Sect and their Shikui Sect.

Behind the weasel that I just met stood two disciples of the Tianming Sect. They looked to be in their twenties and looked a little nervous. They looked at the weasel with hatred and fear in their eyes, and it was obvious that they were under control.

However, the atmosphere between the two monks in the Joyful Temple and the villagers around them was quite harmonious. If Cheng Hui guessed correctly, they and the villagers should be similar to himself, in a cooperative relationship.

Cheng Hui withdrew his gaze and stood quietly at the door of the black tower.

Lao Jin said that the black tower would not open until noon, and they could go in after it opened.

Cheng Hui asked him privately what their attitude was towards other villages.

Lao Jin didn't say it explicitly, but he hinted that it didn't matter what those outsiders did, as long as they didn't kill or maim the villagers from other villages, he would take responsibility for everything else.
