Chapter 849 Little Town (1/2)

Li Jia's discovery was rather unexpected. Even Lin Huang was a little surprised by that.

”Are you sure it's a mistake? Are they really human and not disguised by monsters?” Tan Lang still thought it was a little unbelievable.

”They should be real. It's clear that the buildings in the town are made by humans and it's brightly lit now. I don't think monsters are able to build such a human town.” Li Jia was sure of that.

”Could they be survivors from the ancient times?” Shen Tao could not help but frown. ”It's possible that the people who survived during the war gathered and bred, then slowly built a town of their own.”

”It's certainly possible theoretically.” Lin Huang nodded to agree with what he said.

What Shen Tao said was logically reasonable.

”Maybe this foggy area happens to protect them and prevents outsiders from interfering with their lives. Maybe that's how they managed to live for generations until now,” Li Jia added.

His voiced thoughts made everyone believe those people might really be survivors of ancient times.

”Then, let's check it out together. We need a place to rest anyway, so we can ask around about the area as well.” Tan Lang came up with a plan after some thinking. However, he did not forget to remind them, ”No matter whether these people are ancient time survivors or not, we should have our guard up. Remember, we're still in grade-7 ruins. It's possible for anything to happen.”

After that piece of short advice, Tan Lang then led them to fly towards the town ahead.

Soon, they saw the town that Li Jia was talking about.

The town was small. It was approximately 40 to 50 square kilometers large. The buildings in the town were almost all low houses with red bricks and green tiles. There were hardly any double-story houses.

There were red lanterns lit up at the entrance of every house. The fire burned inside the lanterns; the light did not come from energy stones.

”I've seen such lanterns at the museum before. I remember them being used by the commoners in the Middle Ages as a source of light,” recalled an immortal-level rank-9 powerhouse, ”I think the fuel is made of animal fats.”

They descended slowly from the sky.

”There really isn't any energy around. The people around here should be ordinary people who have no cultivation base.” Tan Lang finally proved that Li Jia's speculation earlier was accurate. He was relieved after finding out about it himself.

Meanwhile, Lin Huang noticed a 12 or 13-year-old boy looking at them descending from the sky through the window in a house not far away.

He turned to look at where the young boy was. The young boy hid his head under the window immediately and only revealed half of his head slowly to peek at Lin Huang and the rest after a while.

Lin Huang smiled while nodding at him. The boy was stunned for a moment and seemed troubled for a while before he opened the window and shouted at Lin Huang, ”Are you guys immortal?”

Lin Huang and the rest were stunned to hear his question.

”Kid…” Lin Huang held Shen Tao's shoulder just when he was going to say something and shook his head.

Lin Huang took a step forward and said to the young boy with a smile, ”We're not immortal, we're cultivators.”

”But I saw you guys fly from the sky. It means all of you are immortal!” The young boy said with conviction.

”You mean like this?” Lin Huang hovered from the ground slowly and flew towards the window.

”You guys really are immortal!” The young boy's eyes lit up and he was no longer scared upon realizing that Lin Huang was friendly. He then said to Lin Huang in excitement, ”You guys must know how to kill demons then!

”Demons?” Lin Huang was stunned again hearing that, but he responded, ”How does the demon you mentioned look like?”

”They…” The young boy was interrupted all of a sudden.

”Xiao Yu, who are you talking to?” A woman suddenly opened the door to the young boy's room.

”Aunty…” The young boy turned to glance at the door immediately.
