Chapter 390: Chapter 390: Uninhabited Area

“Hey, we’ve got some tough ones here today. Looks like I need to teach you the rules of this place,”

The landlady’s gaze suddenly sharpened as the rooms next to her opened one after another.

The next moment, more than a dozen monkeys charged out, heading straight for those burly men.

These monkeys seemed to have undergone some special training; their fur was shaved off, and they were dressed in armor.

Sharp metal fittings were also attached to their claws.

The men had never seen such a spectacle before; within moments, three of them were torn to shreds, and the rest quickly put down their weapons and knelt on the ground.

“Landlady, we mean no harm. We only want to take Victor away, and we hope you can accommodate us,”

Chen Yu’s pupils dilated dramatically, and he immediately had the system scan the old man on the ground.

However, the information that came back showed that this man was not Victor William at all.

Chen Yu breathed a sigh of relief and didn’t pay much attention to it, reasoning that there were more than one person named Victor in this world.

The landlady didn’t care about that; she ordered the monkeys to control the remaining men and had her staff collect all the weapons.

“No one in my tavern is allowed to fight. That’s the rule. You lot have broken the rules here, so you will have to accept punishment,”

As she finished speaking, the staff promptly threw them out.

Tonight, likely not a single household in town would dare to take them in.

The desert night is terribly frightening; the low temperature alone is unbearable.

By morning, those men were likely to freeze into icicles.

Chen Yu ate his mutton and went downstairs, heading towards the old man.

At that moment, the old man was gradually regaining consciousness. Seeing Chen Yu, he became so excited that he tried to kowtow despite his injuries.

Chen Yu quickly held the old man up, “Your body is very weak; you need to rest properly.”

“By the way, they called you Victor just now. May I ask what your surname is?”

The old man caught his breath, “Bog!”

Chen Yu nodded and didn’t ask any further. But as he was about to leave, the old man suddenly grabbed his arm.

“I have a friend who shares my name, he is the head of William’s family, and he’s currently trapped in Dongming Canyon. Can you help me save him? Even just passing a message outside would be good.”

Chen Yu’s eyes widened; he knew that people from William’s family had also arrived here, but he hadn’t expected Victor to come in person.

However, upon reflection, Victor was already an old man close to death. Even if he had rejuvenated by more than a decade under Chen Yu’s treatment, it was not a cure.

With the elixir of eternal life before him, how could he not be tempted?

Chen Yu didn’t say much, just nodded and returned to his room.

Jin Lingsu was getting impatient, “You running up and down like this, are you trying to fight your own body? Can’t you rest properly?”

Chen Yu leaned back in his chair, “How could I possibly sleep in such a place? With all sorts of forces mingling, who knows if these people have a grudge against me.”

Jin Lingsu didn’t say much more and had the waiter bring in two more basins of meat.

The next morning, the seemingly peaceful town suddenly became busy. Who knows from where, but a large group of people appeared, setting off in their off-road vehicles in a grand manner.

Chen Yu and Jin Lingsu didn’t fall behind. After a quick pack-up, they left the town.

Their car didn’t carry much food, just some emergency items and compressed rations.

The others seemed to wish they could fill their cars to the brim.

Some teams had a majestic convoy of more than a dozen vehicles, with just one person driving each, all loaded with supplies.

Jin Lingsu’s face was full of contempt.
