Chapter 438 - Chapter 438 The Elos Clan (2/2)

He finally understood why the old monk was so anxious to drive him away, it turned out he was trying to save his life.

According to the temperament of this group of people, they would probably kill him along with the others.

“Wait a minute!” Chen Yu suddenly shouted, walking straight up to the group of people.

“This place is nothing more than a dilapidated Buddhist grotto, merely a dwelling for these monks. Why are you so intent on seizing it? What exactly are you after?”

The question was blunt, even a bit foolish.

The members of the Elos Clan burst into laughter as if they were looking at an idiot.

“Where did this kid come from? He even dares to meddle in our affairs! Take him down!”

At the command, a few robust men charged forward, trying to subdue Chen Yu, but as they got close, a blue-white light suddenly flashed and the men collapsed to the ground unconscious.

The young leader’s eyes went wide; he hadn’t seen how his men had fallen.

While he was still puzzled, Chen Yu suddenly appeared in front of him, grabbing his neck.

“I’ve been polite to you! Since you struck first, don’t blame me for being rude. From now on, I’ll ask a question, you answer—if not, I’ll twist your head off.”

The young man trembled all over with fear.

“Who on earth are you?”

Chen Yu slapped him across the face, pinning him down to the ground.

“You don’t have the right to ask me questions! Where does your clan come from? Why do you want to occupy these Buddhist grottoes?”

The young man had already been scared witless and did not dare delay in his response.

“We migrated here from the north, having heard that there were heirlooms left behind, so we wanted to come and take a look. There’s no other meaning behind it. These masters can continue to stay here if they like, as long as they agree to let us search for treasures.”

Chen Yu frowned; when he arrived, he had scanned the entire grotto with his system and had found nothing but a few broken Buddha statues—let alone any treasure.

“Who told you this?”

The young man gasped for breath: “It was the elders of my family who told me. It’s not my fault.”

Chen Yu kicked him hard in the lower back.

“You have one day to bring your elders here!”

The young man dared not linger any longer and hastily led his men away.

The old monk by his side appeared somewhat at a loss.

“Young man, you should not have provoked them! You’d better leave quickly. Once their main force arrives, you won’t be able to get away.”

But Chen Yu didn’t care about that and simply took hold of the old monk’s hand.

“But I’ve already smelled the aroma of the meal. Can I eat my fill before we talk about leaving?”

With no other choice, the old monk sighed helplessly and took Chen Yu to the kitchen.

There were only eight people in the entire grotto, including the old monk, with the youngest being only eight years old.

Their food was very simple—a coarse-looking bowl of rice paired with some pickled vegetables of unknown origin.

Although it did not look appealing, the fragrance that wafted over instantly won Chen Yu over.

This type of pure, original food was the healthiest thing in the world.

He promptly devoured a bowl of rice, feasting heartily as he sat there.

Yet the other monks simply stood by quietly, watching him without moving their chopsticks.
