Chapter 478: 478
“Along the only way to the Graveyard of the Sun, there is a small village that we would have to pass through . The village only has about hundreds of inhabitants, and it is not on any map . ” Crippled Elder adopted a melancholy tone as he recalled the past .
The village that he referred to must have been the place where Du Lang was attacked . However, the old man said that there were only hundreds of people there .
“Crippled Elder, did you say that the village only had about hundreds of villagers? But the Cave Wolves Mercenary Group mentioned that there must have been over a thousand people there . ” Shen Yanxiao asked in confusion .
The old man kept silent for a moment . “I was there over a dozen years ago . It must have changed . It’s only natural that the population has grown . ”
Hundreds to a thousand villagers in a dozen years?
Naturally?
Shen Yanxiao did not think it was normal at all . Du Lang mentioned that the village had men and women, older people over fifties, and strong and healthy young men . However, Du Lang did not see any children there . How could the village expand to two to three times its size in just a dozen years, but there were no children there?
That was strange .
“Little guy, if you have to go to the Graveyard of the Sun, don’t spend your night in that village . Trust me on that . If you have to go past the village, do that in the day and leave as soon as you can . Do not stay there . ” Crippled Elder hesitated for a moment and then offered his advice cautiously .
“Why is that?” Shen Yanxiao knew that Crippled Elder must have known something about that village . However, something held him back from telling Shen Yanxiao about it . She had to find out .
The old man did not answer Shen Yanxiao’s question directly . He was quite tactful with his answers .
“Just listen to my advice . I am an old man, and I won’t lie to you . There is something weird about that village . You two young kids would not be able to survive it . ”
No matter how hard Shen Yanxiao tried, the old man did not offer more details about it . He only persuaded her not to spend the night in the village .
The journey was a long one . After more than ten days, Shen Yanxiao could finally see a small village that had suddenly appeared on the horizon .
They had been in an endless desert, and the village had popped up abruptly .
“Little kid, this is as far as I can go . I will wait for you here, and if you are not back in ten days, I will go back to the Black City by myself . ” The Crippled Elder sat on the carriage as he smoked tobacco in a long-stemmed Chinese pipe as he stared at the village in the distance . There was fear visible in his eyes .
Shen Yanxiao nodded . She hopped off the carriage and gazed at the village where the Cave Wolves Mercenary Group almost suffered complete destruction .
She bade farewell to Crippled Elder and headed toward the village .
The Vermilion Bird stayed with Shen Yanxiao, and he looked quite comfortable . The little Phoenix on his head had even nodded off .
“You humans like to freak each other out . As far as I can see, that is just a small village . Even if there is something weird, it’s not going to be that dreadful . ” The Vermilion Bird folded his arms in front of his chest . While he complained against Crippled Elder’s fear, he stared at his domineering master .
“You are a mythical beast, and he is a normal old man . You two have different levels of psychological endurance . ” Shen Yanxiao cast a glance at the Vermilion Bird as she gave him a lukewarm reply .
People were strong because they knew how to learn, create, and adapt .
At the same time, humans were vulnerable too .
In the infinite universe, people were as fragile as a grain of sand . Too many outward things could cost someone their life . Therefore, people knew fear, and they knew to stay away from fear .
Humans would only be fearless if they have the strength to face calamities and enemies .
