"I haven't felt an earthquake in the past few days, but first the ground cracked, and the original three-kilometer road expanded to nearly ten kilometers, and then this bottomless crack appeared again."
"It seems that the earth's geology is undergoing great changes. It seems to be silent, but in fact it is extremely rapid."
Wang Ce glanced at the bottom of the crack. It was so dark that he couldn't see anything.
"Brother Ce, there is something wrong with that village chief!"
Ge Ji walked to Wang Ce silently and said something meaningful.
Wang Ce threw a stone down, glanced behind him at the old village chief who was resting in the team, and said in a slow tone.
"I know, I knew there was something wrong with him since we couldn't take out the Bi Chan."
"Obviously, only you who have space powers can get the Bichan. Inferring from this, it is impossible for Ji Yushen to go into the rice fields several times to find any opportunities."
Wang Ce looked at the thin old man with a dull look, and there was no emotion or anger in his eyes.
"We kindly brought them out and provided them with some protection, but then he came to plot against us?"
Zhou Zhou was a little angry, thinking that he shouldn't be such a good person.
Wang Ce shook his head and said something meaningful.
"It has nothing to do with him. The old village chief is a good cadre. He can act, but the survivors will not accompany him to act."
"And if we take Bichan away, it will not do him any good. The only explanation is that someone ordered him to do this, but who could that person be?"
Ge Ji's eyes narrowed slightly, but he was thoughtful.
"There are currently two candidates who can deliver the message to him right under our noses. One is the unknown mutant rat king on Dahei Mountain."
"The other one is Xinjin Land, the poor woman who hanged herself!"
"It is basically impossible to mutate the rat king. After all, he is not from my race. The old village chief is quite upright, so the possibility of doing such a thing is not high."
"Then the answer is ready to come out!"
When Zhou Zhou heard this, his eyes lit up and he said excitedly.
"It's Xinjin Land, that poor woman who hanged herself?! But why did she do that? What good does it do to her?"
"It's unlikely that she wants to harm us, right? Otherwise, why would she stop the mutant rat king from attacking us?"
Wang Ce took a deep breath and listened to the howling wind under the crack, but his thinking was clearer than ever.
"There are many doubts about the whole incident. First of all, why does this new land seem to be a completely different person after becoming a land? Is it just her who has changed, or does everyone who becomes a land change?"
"Also, these two lands seem to be showing goodwill to us. They don't talk about making friends, but they also consciously approach us."
"It would make sense to say that the woman in red gave us the spell because she wanted revenge, but in this place where she hanged herself, the purpose is a bit too obvious!"
Zhou Zhou, however, had some thoughts and said, "Is it true that as Fatty Ge said, Brother Ce is a person who deserves disaster, so many people want to make friends with you, so that we can avoid some disasters in the future."
Wang Ce nodded and continued.
"Although it is a bit narcissistic to say this, it is also the most reasonable explanation. There is one thing I have never told you, and that is that the person who taught me the Eight-Nine Mysterious Skills and the Thirty-Six Tiangang Methods was from the mutated mango tree. Old man!"
"The old man has white hair and a childish face. He is holding a crutch with a golden gourd on it. Ge Ji, you know a lot. Can you think of who he is?"
Ge Ji thought for a moment and said cautiously.
"I really can't think of such an immortal figure for a while, but from the perspective of myths and legends, the status of beings who can teach these two heaven-defying magics is probably not low."
"At that time, I calculated against the will of heaven. The person who should be robbed was in the room where we slept. Three consecutive calculations showed that it was like this. Zhou Zhou may have been right. Whether it was the old god in the mutated mango tree or the two people who were kidnapped. There are unpredictable lands, and they probably want to plan for you."
"It's just that this land that hangs itself has some clumsy methods and seems to have failed."
"And I just thought about it. The positions laid out by these green toads are somewhat like the Arhat Formation of Buddhism. I'm afraid this is also the layout of a certain big boss."
"The woman who hanged herself probably wanted to use us to get the benefits of the seal of the Arhat Formation."
Several people felt that Ge Ji's speculation might be infinitely close to the truth.
"Oh, what are you talking about? Youyou don't understand at all!"
Youyou covered her ears, feeling as if the three of them were chanting sutras.
Wang Ce and Ge Ji glanced at the innocent Youyou, looked at each other, and both remained silent.
Based on this calculation, this Yoyo was probably pushed to the three of them as part of a conspiracy.
Invisibly, it seemed as if there really was a big hand controlling everything secretly.
"I don't think so much anymore. Our strength is too weak now. Even if we know that someone seems to be plotting against us, there is nothing we can do. The top priority is to continue to become stronger!"
Wang Ce shook his head, but saw the old village chief walking over with a guilty face.
The village chief was actually panicking inside. From the look in Wang Ce's eyes from time to time, he had already inferred that Wang Ce might have discovered that something was wrong with him!
Rather than waiting to be questioned, it is better to confess on your own initiative.
"Old village chief, don't panic, we will find a way to send you there too!"
Although this crack is bottomless, its width is not large. There are some narrow places, maybe only a distance of more than ten meters.
Wang Ce and the other four could jump over it, but these ordinary people couldn't.
Although he knew that the old village chief was probably instigated by others to take the four of him to the mutated rice field, Wang Ce did not blame him for it.
Not his Holy Mother, but such a diligent servant of the people. There must be some reasons for being able to make such a choice.
He was willing to give him a chance to explain.
"Oh, young people, I can't help you!"
The old village chief made a plop and knelt down in front of the four of them. Even Wang Ce, who was somewhat mentally prepared, couldn't help but be stunned at this moment.
The survivors not far away cast their eyes over one after another, wondering what happened.
"Old village chief, get up quickly. If you have anything to say, you can say it slowly."
The old village chief was older than his father. After all, he had received so many years of education. Wang Ce quickly helped the old village chief up.
"Actually, Yu Shen didn't enter the mutated rice field to look for anything at all."
Yoyo was on the side, throwing stones at the crack out of boredom, her legs dangling by the crack.
Wang Ce and the three of them didn't change their expressions. They had already expected this.
Seeing no response from the three people, the old village chief thought to himself that he was right. These three college students were very smart and they might have realized his problem.
In order to bring the survivors of the border village alive to the military base in the north of the city, the old village chief told the truth.
"Actually, yesterday, a woman who claims to be the land of the Black Mountains asked me to make up this story and take you to the mutated rice fields, otherwise she will enlarge the mutated rats on the Black Mountains and come over to massacre us!"
"This is why I insist on taking the villagers with you. If we continue to stay in the border village, we may not survive the army's return journey."
Wang Ce and the other three showed such expressions that they were really the poor woman who mutated and committed suicide!
Moreover, when the old village chief took the three people there, he was hesitant to speak. At that time, Wang Ce thought it was because the mutated rice was too smelly. Now it seems that the village chief at that time was also struggling in his heart.
"She said she would never hurt you. She also said that the mutated rat king on Dahei Mountain was the one who blocked her from attacking and killing you while you were killing Ji Yushen."
"When I thought about it, my life was not safe anyway, so I took you there. You took the risk to bring us out. The more I thought about it, the more guilty I felt, so I came to confess."
Wang Ce took a deep breath and did not blame the old village chief for being ungrateful.
From another perspective, he may not be able to do better than the old village chief.
"This matter is over. I, Wang Ce, keep my promise and will do my best to take you to a safe place."
The old village chief hesitated for a moment, looked around with wary eyes, and then said something shocking.
"Actually, there are gods in this world!"
