Chapter 364 Star Prison: Test
The flowers planted in the pots seem more lively and sway in the wind.
Ji Xiangrong skinned all the beasts and told Shen Hanqing that the climate in Xingyu was very abnormal.
Soon the entire Star Prison will experience a significant drop in temperature, and by then, everywhere will be covered in snow.
So these furs can come in handy when the time comes.
Shen Hanqing nodded thoughtfully, “But can you take so much?”
These words successfully made Ji Xiangrong stop peeling the skin, and his expression was indescribable.
Finally, he said with difficulty: "It's not much, I can still take it with me."
Suddenly I felt a little envious of Chen Ling. He could even get a flower pot when he asked for it, while he could only carry animal skins silently.
He sighed deeply, thinking that perhaps comparison is the thief of joy.
When the moisture had almost dissipated, everyone started a fire and started drying clothes and other things.
Ji Xiangrong also processed the animal skins.
We definitely can’t continue our journey today, so we can only rest for one night.
In front of the fire, Ji Xiangrong mentioned the mechanical bees, "It seems that many people are interested in you."
Shen Hanqing poked the fire and said with a smile: "What's the problem? After all, I am naturally beautiful."
Ji Xiangrong also smiled. Shen Hanqing knew that this was not what he meant. "I heard that someone was chosen before and had the opportunity to leave the Star Prison. The condition was that he killed a hundred people."
Shen Hanqing's expression was very calm, "Oh, did he do it?"
Ji Xiangrong's smile turned mocking. "No one wants to be his stepping stone to leave the Star Prison. Besides... Miss Shen, have you ever heard the story about a crab that can crawl out of a basket, but a group of crabs can't?"
Shen Hanqing responded, “It’s nothing more than that you can’t go out, and you don’t let others go out.”
Ji Xiangrong nodded, "So many people joined forces to kill the person who had a chance to escape from the Star Prison."
Shen Hanqing commented very rudely: "That's because he is not strong enough."
Ji Xiangrong was speechless, there was nothing wrong with him.
But is there really anyone who can be that strong? Ji Xiangrong didn't know.
The next day, keep moving forward.
After walking for two days, we finally found signs of human activity in the vast rainforest.
Ji Xiangrong doesn't like going to crowded places, because in Star Prison, crowded places are mostly filled with betrayal, blood and violence.
The darkness of human nature is everywhere.
The more you see these, the easier it is to assimilate.
Ji Xiangrong wondered, if he became that kind of person, could he still be called a human being? Probably not.
Only wild beasts would lose all reason just to survive.
But Shen Hanqing wanted to go over, because she said that Shen Ling had not had much contact with the crowd before, so she wanted to take Shen Ling to see it.
Ji Xiangrong glanced at the clean-cut boy holding the small white flower.
It’s not a bad thing to interact with people, but at least it’s not a bad thing to interact with normal people. As for the people in Xingyu... it’s all tears when I talk about it too much.
Ji Xiangrong guessed that Shen Hanqing and Shen Ling must have been framed from a large family.
Because Shen Hanqing and Shen Ling usually gave him the feeling that they were not like ordinary people.
Following the traces of people's lives, Shen Hanqing and the others came to a gathering place.
It seems that there are quite a few people living together.
When they saw Shen Hanqing and the others, their reaction was not very intense, and they all just did their own things.
Shen Hanqing noticed that there were a lot of wild fruits and other things grown on a large scale in this place.
Some edible animals are also kept in captivity.
It does have some slash-and-burn elements to it, and it looks quite peaceful.
Ji Xiangrong did not let his guard down, because in the Star Prison, everything could be an illusion.
Finally, someone spoke to Shen Hanqing and the others, and what they said was very direct, "Our village is relatively peaceful. If you don't want to get involved in those fights, you can stay."
Shen Hanqing smiled and said, "Can we rest for a night? We have been traveling for a long time."
The man raised his hand and pointed to the tree house not far away. "The village chief's house is over there. You can go ask him."
Shen Hanqing looked over and found that there was actually a village chief. It was really interesting.
They went to the tree house.
When he arrived at the door of the tree house, Ji Xiangrong went forward and knocked.
The person who opened the door was a middle-aged man who looked gentle and refined, and inexplicably gave people a sense of trust.
The clothes he was wearing were worn out and the colors had faded, but he didn't look shabby at all.
Ji Xiangrong explained his purpose. The man smiled and subconsciously supported his nose.
Then he felt nothing and said apologetically, "Sorry, I forgot I haven't worn glasses for a long time."
Then he added, "Come in and sit down. It's only for one night. I certainly won't refuse you."
Shen Hanqing looked back at the others, then entered the house.
Those people were startled by Shen Hanqing's look and did not dare to go in.
But even with three people in, the room seemed a little crowded.
There was a simple stone table and stone bench in the room.
The cups for drinking water were carved from wood.
There is also a teapot that I made myself, which looks very lifelike.
The man introduced himself. "My name is Zhang Yang. I've been in Xingyu for quite a while. I don't like fighting, so I brought people who share the same ideals to build this village."
Ji Xiangrong raised his own doubts, "But in the Star Prison, there is no absolute peace, right?"
Because even if Zhang Yang and the others want a peaceful life, there will always be someone who wants to destroy it.
After all, there are a lot of crazy people in Star Prison, and it’s impossible to reason with them.
Zhang Yang smiled, looking elegant and easygoing. "Maybe we're lucky, so we haven't encountered anything that disrupts this peace."
Shen Hanqing suddenly said, "I'm a little curious why you came to Xingyu."
Zhang Yang sighed, "I admit I'm guilty, but it's not murder or arson, it's just corruption."
Shen Hanqing certainly didn't believe it. Being able to bring people to build a village in Xingyu, could it really be harmless to people and animals? Impossible.
Zhang Yang asked casually, "What about you, girl?"
Shen Hanqing answered irrelevantly, "My name is Shen Hanqing."
Zhang Yang's pupils shrank slightly, and when he tried to pretend nothing happened, he was actually exposed.
This illustrates a problem: Zhang Yang is at least a high-ranking figure.
Because the original Shen Hanqing was also a person who roamed in the upper class.
Zhang Yang also realized his flaw and simply showed a surprised expression again, "It turned out to be Miss Shen, I have heard of your great name for a long time."
At the same time, because Shen Han informed him of his name, Zhang Yang looked more cautious.
Ji Xiangrong became more certain of his guess that Shen Hanqing's identity was indeed not simple.
The topic cooled down here.
Zhang Yang looked calm, but he was actually calculating.
When it was almost time, Zhang Yang arranged a place for them to sleep that night.
Among those who followed Shen Hanqing and the others, someone suddenly said, "Miss Shen is very powerful. She was found by several mechanical bees at the same time."
