”Just say it!” said Mo Fan in an unpleasant tone.
”Do you remember the cave we used to hide from the rain?” Shorty purposely glanced at the villagers and asked after knowing that they were all at the back.
”Yeah, the one that you found when you're hunting a Blood Beast, what's wrong?”
”After killing the Blood Beast, we decided to rest up at Sunny Goat Village. However, we stumbled into a scouting team on the way there who had just left Sunny Goat Village. They gave us some replenishment, so we returned to Ancient Capital straightaway using this path. Not long after we returned to the Ancient Capital, we heard that the scouting team went missing...” Shorty lowered his voice, as if he did not want anyone to hear him. He was at ease when he realized that only the guy who had lost his memory was close to Mo Fan.
”Mm, it's most likely that they were killed by the undead in the wild. My brother's squad was ambushed by the undead along their journey too,” Mo Fan glanced at Zhang Xiaohou beside him.
”Mm, I assumed so too, but do you know what the scouting team told us when they bumped into us?” Shorty wore an evil smile.
”What did they say?” asked Mo Fan.
”They told us Sunny Goat Village is completely empty. They told us there's no point in going there,” said Shorty.
Mo Fan was utterly confused.
However, Zhang Xiaohou, who was also listening to the whispers between the two, shuddered violently as his blank eyes widened!
”Don't you think it's strange? The chief is also avoiding the path to Sunny Goat Village. It's obvious that the chief doesn't want us to go there,” added Shorty.
Mo Fan glanced at Xie Sang and fell into deep thoughts.

The group continued on with the journey. Everyone was still unharmed during the second night.
They were fairly close to Ancient Capital after the second night. They would arrive close to the Ancient Capital today.
”It's daytime, we'll move on once everyone is ready. We should arrive at the Ancient Capital before night time,” yelled Hong Jun, waking everyone up.
”Hong Jun, you spent a few years learning Magic outside of the village. Are you able to find places for us to live once we arrive in the Ancient Capital?” asked a woman.
”Don't worry, don't worry!” Hong Jun patted his chest, implying that he would handle everything.
”Sigh, feels like we're safe now. I thought we were abandoned by the God of the Well.”
”Gouzi, look at how you've scared everyone, humph!”
The villagers felt more at ease, each wearing a faint smile on their face.
The group had stayed safe for two nights straight, and their journey would come to an end after today. Their lives were no longer in danger.
Since it was daytime, everyone was more scattered across the place. Mo Fan remained at the front of the group...
Shorty never stopped talking. The guy came up to Mo Fan to boast about his achievements. Mo Fan snorted disdainfully at Shorty and simply boasted about his achievements in Bo City...
”So you're from Bo City! I do know a few friends from there,” exclaimed Shorty, surprised.
”How do you know people from Bo City?” Mo Fan was confused.
”Oh, I talked to them a lot. They were brought here to stay in the Ancient Capital after the calamity. They were told to live in the outskirts in the past, but a rich young man called Mu Bai bought a street to sell Magic Ores, so the refugees from Bo City ended up working for him,” said Shorty.
Mo Fan was startled, but then recalled the arrangements made after the calamity.
