“Oh~” Chu Nan slowly nodded and kept his eyes on the brawny druid by his side.

According to Jack, the outside world did not seem safe either. If so, wouldn’t it be better for him to think of a method to freeload in the druid village? Why should he head outside and take risks?

“Alright then~!” Chu Nan glanced at the spatial bracelet on his wrist and started to formulate a plan to utilize Jack’s misconception that he was an expert. Coupled with the skill books in his possession, he could achieve his motive of freeloading in the village.

Even though human society was pleasant, the problem was that he was required to survive before he could enjoy it, right? Chu Nan silently comforted himself and decided that it was not too late to mingle in human society after he obtained sufficient strength to defend himself.

“Chu Nan, we’ve arrived in the village.”

Jack’s prompt interrupted his train of thought.

“Village? Where is it?”

Chu Nan looked up, and his line of sight was overwhelmed with trees that didn’t look different from the surrounding forest. There was not the slightest trace of the village Jack had mentioned.

Jack raised his hand toward the top of the forest and said, “Here.”

As Chu Nan followed the direction where Jack had pointed, he noticed simple thatched houses built upon a massive tree. Next to each house, there was also an arm-sized thick rattan tied to the tree that looked like a substitute for stairs.

Chu Nan rubbed his eyes and carefully looked at the hundreds of thatched houses above the tree. Mushrooms covered the roofs of numerous houses, and if looked at from afar, the greenery looked like an abstract creation

He furrowed his brows and looked toward Jack in disbelief, “Druids live on trees?”

“Yes,” Jack nodded in all seriousness. “Trees are much safer in the Heaven Forest.”

“You’re right,” Chu Nan nodded. His previous thoughts of freeloading in the druid village instantly disappeared without a trace.

As someone from the modern world, Chu Nan found it hard to adapt to a long-term primitive tribal lifestyle, particularly one where he had to live in high areas. He could still endure a few nights of sleeping on trees and maintaining his vigilance; however, if he had to live in such an environment for much longer, it would be incredibly embarrassing if he fell to death from his sleep one day.

Chu Nan sighed. It seemed like it was impossible to freeload in the druid village, and he had to think of a way to con someone from the village to escort him out. In that case, he would at least have a bodyguard while he was outside.

The trunk of several large trees suddenly shook, and three druids dressed in animal skins and armed with spears landed on the ground with the help of the vines.

When the druids saw Catherine, complex emotions appeared on their faces before they hastily shifted their gazes elsewhere.
