"Whoosh—"
A sound rang in their ears, and everyone looked up to see Yan Miao sitting on the roof.
She held a handful of spiced melon seeds, sat on the eaves, and swung her slender legs as she cracked them open, the soothing bell at her waist making a melodious sound.
She looks just like a junior sister in a mountain sect or a little apprentice of a demon-catching master!
"So handsome!"
Mu Zi's eyes lit up, completely forgetting her fear from just now, "You really are a demon hunter!"
"Genuine, guaranteed!"
…………
With the blessing of Yan Miao's identity as a demon hunter, the fear in everyone's hearts gradually dissipated over the remaining two days.
Because they discovered that the mastermind, Lan Da, was like a puppet, strictly following Yan Miao's wishes to eat and drink on time, and spending the rest of the time sleeping.
No other action was taken.
This will give them more time to investigate the situation in the village.
This made everyone even more convinced of Yan Miao's identity as a demon hunter!
The village chief has come by these past two days, but Yan Miao always seems to have a knack for predicting the future and accurately times his appearance.
Before that, inform everyone to return on time.
As soon as the village chief entered the dilapidated house with drafts coming from all sides, he saw everyone gathered around Lan Da on the bed, bringing him water and meat, and showing him concern and care.
Qi Feng kept asking him about the medical team's progress, "Village Chief, how long will it take for the hospital people to arrive? Lan Da's leg can't wait!"
"Soon..."
Even the injured Lan Da weakly exchanged pleasantries with himself.
He secretly thought to himself, "They're putting on quite a convincing act!"
Everything was done flawlessly, and the village chief had no suspicions whatsoever.
"I found a circular altar in the very center of the village, but I don't know what it was used for."
"They're not going to call us there in two days, are they?"
"Could the man-eating monster be hiding inside the altar?"
Qi Feng finally made it to the center of the village and told everyone what she had seen and heard.
"Very likely. Let's look forward to it and treat it as an adventure. I will make sure everyone is safe."
Yan Miao left a cliffhanger, as if in jest.
She knew that people were no longer as scared as they had been when they first found out; in fact, they were secretly excited.
Monster!
They actually saw things that only exist in the Classic of Mountains and Seas in real life, and even saw them with their own eyes!
Anyone would be unable to suppress their newfound curiosity!
In addition, she would occasionally turn on the call button to talk to Lan Cuoyou.
He deliberately complained about dried meat in front of her.
"Pah! The dried meat the village chief gave us is awful!"
"How much longer do we have to stay in this lousy place? If anything goes wrong after this, I'm not going to care anymore. I'll just leave it somewhere."
"As for the matter of your soul returning to its place, you'll have to figure that out yourself!"
The girl, who wasn't wearing any makeup, was stomping her feet in anger in her room, complaining incessantly, looking every bit the naive and innocent type.
Xingcuoyou saw that she kept pinching her nose and complaining that the dried meat was unpalatable, and he was secretly delighted.
He offered a half-hearted reassurance, "Don't worry, after the sacrificial ceremony, I definitely won't delay your return home any longer..."
snort!
When that day comes, you and that idiot brother, all of you will be dead!
This is your home!
Where she couldn't see, Yan Miao's lips curled up silently.
He deliberately put on this act in front of her to lower her guard.
Thinking that victory was assured, she would not take any further action. She thought that she only needed to wait a little longer to uncover the secret of the village!
Before having her brother secretly follow Lan Da, she actually searched the gossip system in the mall, trying to find out about the village's gossip and secrets.
This is the simplest and most efficient method!
But the query results were empty!
The explanation given by the Merit Mall is—
The owners of the online store are not allowed to gossip about each other!
This is the mall's protection for the owner, and the scope of protection includes the owner's close relatives.
…………
"Heaven and earth are vast, my heart is clear; I offer sacrifices to protect my Lan clan..."
"The Lan clan, with their banners, leads their people to pay homage to the heavenly gods!"
In the spacious center of the village, the sacrificial ceremony officially began with the village chief's shout!
The villagers, dressed in their distinctive ethnic costumes, with blue and yellow paint on their faces and holding unidentified implements, began to dance wildly around the altar.
He was muttering something that the others couldn't understand.
The more Qi Feng looked at them, the more she felt they were a bunch of lunatics!
Mu Zi was so excited that she secretly put her phone in her pocket, deliberately exposing the camera, just to record a video.
The villagers, initially scattered, gradually gathered together, and slowly, Yan Miao realized something was wrong—
They actually surrounded them!
"Please bring the stone woman statue!"
"Boom—"
A loud noise came from afar, along with the heavy sound of wheels rolling.
Everyone looked in the direction of the sound.
Lan Da and several strong men from the village, shirtless with black cloth strips tied around their heads, slowly pushed a huge stone statue on a cart as they walked over.
The woman on the stone statue has a face like Guanyin, and her clothes are exactly the same as those of the villagers.
In less than a minute, the stone statue arrived and was pushed to the center of the altar.
Several people worked together to take her down and place her on the altar; she was the perfect size!
"So this altar was used to house stone statues!"
"What should I do next?"
Yan Miao raised her hand and tapped the requiem bell twice.
But no answer came from inside as before...
