Why does the village chief have such a strange expression?
She rushed back, but the door had completely disappeared and she couldn't find it anywhere.
After struggling for a long time, she finally gave up and turned to look at the scorched jungle behind her. Deep in the surrounded area, there were several large boxes.
This place is not big. Apart from the burnt trees, there are only these big boxes.
These boxes are made of wood and look very heavy.
Lu Yunxi tentatively reached out and pushed the box open.
The box was much lighter than I had imagined and opened with a gentle push.
She was a little skeptical and cautiously threw a few stones in to make sure there was no mechanism before she reached her hand in.
“Swoosh—”
Lu Yunxi's eyes turned cold and he quickly withdrew his hand, avoiding the attack.
Dozens of arrows had already shot into the charred wood behind him, and his tail feathers trembled.
She narrowed her eyes slightly, with a hint of coldness, and looked coldly at the village chief who was leading the group, and the familiar villagers behind him, with some confusion in her eyes.
"Why?!" Are they crazy? They suddenly attacked her. Aren't they afraid that she would never save the villagers again?
"Why?!" The village chief suddenly raised his head. "Why do you say that?! How can you outsiders obtain the treasures left by Lord Shenlong, but we can't?!"
Dozens of villagers behind him, holding weapons, echoed her in unison, looking at her with dissatisfaction in their eyes.
"Everything that Lord Shenlong left for us is ours! You are not allowed to take it away!"
"Get out! Get out of our village! You bandit!"
Lu Yunxi inexplicably turned into a bandit:? ?
"Stop joking! You clearly can't open the boxes here at all, so you're at a loss!" She sneered, her face a little grim. "You clearly agreed with the dragon that the things here would be given to the right people, but you suddenly broke that agreement. Aren't you afraid that the dragon will come back and cause trouble for you?!"
The village chief leaned on his crutches and closed his eyes silently.
He didn't know what he was thinking about, and suddenly opened his eyes again, saying indifferently: "I am sorry for you about this, but the treasure left by Lord Shenlong must stay in our village!" This is a plan formulated by the elders with countless efforts. As the village chief, he must follow the opinions of the elders and stick to it.
Lu Yunxi looked at him, seemingly unable to make sense, and then turned her gaze to the group of people behind him: "What about you? Do you think so too?"
Everyone hesitated for a moment, but was interrupted by the village chief's stern voice: "Don't listen to her nonsense! Don't forget what our ancestors said!"
The villagers woke up as if from a dream, and immediately frowned, looking at her with indifference.
Lu Yunxi lowered his eyes and thought to himself, it's a good thing that he used a protective shield for his apprentice before leaving, otherwise if Chen San fell into their hands now, he would be skinned alive if not dead.
Suddenly, a flash of light flashed through her mind.
"Your illness... was it intentional?" Isn't it too cruel to deliberately make yourself sick in order to obtain the things left by the dragon?
The villagers were stunned and looked at her in disbelief.
