185 Immortal Fox Village (1/2)

Once they rested a little in the tavern, Happy and Little North continued on their journey to Immortal Fox Village, which was located in Wuhu County.

The closer they got to Wuhu, the more players they saw on the government-made road. They traveled in groups of three or five, and they carried swords and sabers on their backs. Some of them rushed forward on their horses. Occasionally, Happy and Little North even got the chance to see sects and parties in the same uniform charging back and forth. They looked incredibly grand and fierce!

”Tsk, tsk, this is what I call the world of martial artists!”

Little North had been level-grinding in the mass grave, isolated from the world for many days. His emotions surged wildly, and he would occasionally let out sentimental words like that.

Happy did not find it strange, but he was rather troubled by the occasional, abnormal gazes that were cast their way from both sides of the road.

He had a zombie stuck behind his back, and it was NOT comfortable, especially when he had to make his horse dash forward on the government-made road which had people moving back and forth. He looked very flashy, abnormal, and a little terrifying.

Thud, thud, thud, thud…

The people cast them all sorts of gazes while pointing in their direction all the time. This made the duo rush forward at the fastest speed they could muster to Immortal Fox Village. They never stopped even once.

*****

Because of the gradually increasing popularity of the Fox Cave, more and more martial artists came from all over the land. Before they could even see the village, they would notice that all the training spots around the government-made road were occupied by multiple players. The moment the monsters respawned, they were shredded by the shadows of weapons that reached them so quickly they could not even see the attacks clearly. All of them died very tragic deaths.

”We're here!”

Little North cried out excitedly when two tall pillars of wood appeared at the end of the government-made road. They looked like symbols of the village respectfully welcoming them, and a flight of stairs made from flagstones led upwards.

Happy looked up and saw a sign hanging above a tall mountain gate which was placed around one hundred steps up—Immortal Fox Village!

The flight of stairs leading to Immortal Fox Village was filled with people going up and down.

It was still day, so many people received quests from Immortal Fox Village, such as chasing away the crazed dogs whose temperaments had changed because they had been affected by the demonic noise outside Fox Cave. Some would accept harder quests, such as entering Fox Cave to kill the White Foxes and take revenge for the villagers of Immortal Fox Village!

Happy and Little North got down from their horses at the entrance to Immortal Fox Village.

They examined the two long rows of wood pillars at the foot of the stairs, then Little North looked around with great interest. He noticed an eye-catching Eight Trigrams plate hung high on every wood pillar. It would occasionally reflect a blinding light under the illumination of the sunlight. He could not help but find it rather strange. ”What's the use of those things?”

”To repel evil!”

Before Happy could answer, a player with an unfamiliar face quietly approached and answered Little North's question.

Happy cast that person a glance before he smiled faintly. Then, he looked away.

”You sure came early.”

”Of course.” The person touched his nose and said softly, ”We're up against Class One Hall. If I don't come here early to understand the situation, we won't have any way of winning against them with just us.”

At that moment, Little North finally realized that the person before him was the man with the incredible lightness skill and whom Little North had been unable to catch while they were in the mass grave.

All-powerful Medicinal Stone?!

”Is there a quieter place that is situated in a remote area?”

Happy did not acknowledge recognizing All-powerful Medicinal Stone. Instead, he looked around warily and whispered in a volume that only the two of them could hear.

All-powerful Medicinal Stone pretended to not have heard anything and increased his speed while he walked toward Immortal Fox Village.

”Come with me.”

The duo followed behind him.

Immortal Fox Village was filled with people. There were players moving all around the area, and they were all in groups. The village was incredibly crowded.

All-powerful Medicinal Stone moved very quickly. He squeezed through the crowd and approached a small and worn down house like a loach.

Happy, with his attentive eye, noticed that when All-powerful Medicinal Stone went through the crowd, his hands seemed to have vanished into two unfortunate people's Universe Bag for a while.

He… just could not break away from his bad habit.
