Except for Gu Yuan, no one seemed to have noticed the strange scene that happened in the square.
This made Gu Yuan a little curious. Did Uncle Mu, Blair and others not see it at all, or were they accustomed to it and didn't care?
It's really a bit confusing...
And that feeling of being watched never went away.
Fortunately, apart from this intense discomfort, nothing more terrible happened.
This should be rare good news for Gu Yuan.
At this critical moment, Gu Yuan's peripheral vision saw Zhao Yong standing next to him suddenly.
His eyes were dull, as if he had completely lost his soul, and he was walking slowly forward like a puppet on strings.
His target seemed to be that statue.
Gu Yuan tried calling Zhao Yong, but didn't get any response.
He glanced back and saw that Zhao Yong had already reached the statue.
Then, a dark door seemed to appear at the base of the statue. Gu Yuan's expression changed and he immediately realized something was wrong. When he wanted to take action, Zhao Yong's body had already been sucked in by the dark door.
Everything happened so fast that Gu Yuan didn't even have time to take action.
A good person just disappeared.
What made Gu Yuan even more incomprehensible was that with so many people in the square, no one seemed to notice this scene except him.
They were still praying devoutly. Even if Gu Yuan spoke just now, they didn't react at all, as if they were completely immersed in it.
After the strange energy in Fang Lan's consciousness was completely dispelled, Uncle Mu's voice came to his ears.
"Oh, sir, what happened to her? Is your friend okay?"
Although the strange energy in Fang Lan's consciousness had been completely resolved by Gu Yuan, the other party never woke up.
Although Gu Yuan had been careful with the previous "treatment", it would inevitably cause some damage to Fang Lan's consciousness.
Now I need some time to rest. Even if I wake up, I will probably be depressed for a while.
Damage to one's spiritual consciousness is a very troublesome matter in itself. Even Gu Yuan had to be careful when he first cultivated his spiritual consciousness, for fear of accidentally going wrong.
"She has something wrong with her health and needs a good rest." Gu Yuan said.
Uncle Mu was shocked and said quickly: "Then please bring her with me quickly. We will go back now. If you don't mind, sir, you can rest at my house for a few days."
Gu Yuan looked at him and nodded, but did not refuse.
He didn't know much about the situation in the city-state, and Uncle Mu and others were his best way. Although the information he got from them might not be correct, it was better than groping around alone.
Gu Yuan picked up Fang Lan and followed Uncle Mu. After walking a certain distance, he suddenly discovered a strange problem.
Uncle Mu and others seemed to have overlooked one thing.
"Uncle Mu."
"Ah? What's wrong?"
"What happened to my friend just now? Where did he go?" Gu Yuan asked.
"Friends?" Uncle Mu looked at Gu Yuan doubtfully, "Who are you talking about?"
"That's the man I was with before."
"Man?" Uncle Mu said in surprise, "Sir, I don't quite understand what you mean. When we saw you, there were no men around you."
Gu Yuan finally understood where that strange feeling came from.
Gu Yuan felt strange before.
Even if Uncle Mu and others were too pious and did not pay attention to what was happening around them when they were praying to the statue, when everything was over, the other party should have discovered that there was someone missing from Gu Yuan's side.
Even the most curious ones, such as Blair and a few others, didn't even ask.
This made Gu Yuan feel very strange.
But now, after hearing Uncle Mu's words, Gu Yuan felt like his hair was standing on end.
He looked solemn and took a deep look at the other person, trying to discern some clues from the other person's face.
As a result, Uncle Mu still had clear eyes, like a college student...
"Forget it, it's nothing, just keep walking." Gu Yuan sighed.
If he had known that something like this would happen, he should have tied up Zhao Yong first.
Zhao Yong's willpower is still a little weak. At least Tain can support him a little more and even turn around and run away. This kid's coming up is for nothing.
Nothing!
Uncle Mu looked at Gu Yuan suspiciously and didn't say anything.
Anyway, Gu Yuan always gave him a weird feeling.
Although the other party was powerful and gave them the meat of the sand python, he still felt that Gu Yuan was a weirdo. Fortunately, the other party only behaved a little strangely and never expressed any malice towards him. Otherwise, Uncle Mu did not dare to take people back to his home casually.
After all, I am at home with my wife and children!
On the way, Gu Yuan would find a shrine at some distance.
Those shrines gave Gu Yuan a somewhat cold feeling, just like when he saw the statue in the square before.
"The one in the shrine is also His Majesty the King, right?" Gu Yuan said.
"certainly!"
After getting a positive answer from Uncle Mu, Gu Yuan sighed softly.
This is indeed what happened...
Previously, he had thought that as long as he didn't go to the square or look at the statue, he could avoid being assimilated.
Now it seems that I still think of the problem too simply.
The people in the city-state are unimaginably enthusiastic about their King, so much so that His Majesty may be everywhere.
These ubiquitous shrines also pose a threat to them.
After walking in the city for another half hour, we finally came to a fork.
Tucker and the captain of another team came to Gu Yuan, thanked him again, and said that if there is anything they need help with, they can just ask.
In addition, they also invited Gu Yuan to live in their home, but Gu Yuan finally chose Uncle Mu's home.
The expressions of the other two people also looked a bit complicated, whether they were disappointed or relieved.
Or rather, both.
They knew that since Gu Yuan could kill the sand python, he must be very powerful. Who wouldn't want to have a good relationship with such a person?
But Gu Yuan was always mysterious and behaved very strangely. They were not sure whether getting too close to such a person would bring trouble to them or even endanger their lives.
Uncle Mu led the way and introduced Gu Yuan.
"We are here in the Seventh District, and our team is all from the Seventh District - Akson, you are home, remember to hand over the meat you brought back, and the rest should be stored in the warehouse. inside."
"Uncle Mu, don't worry, I will remember it!"
When Gu Yuan heard this, he asked doubtfully: "Hand it over? Do you still need to hand over the meat you got?"
"Of course! This is tax. His Majesty the King treats us very well. Everyone only needs to hand in half a catty of meat every day." Uncle Mu explained with a smile, "We have a rich harvest this time. Next, at least two I don’t need to go out for three months.”
When he said these words, Uncle Mu's face was full of joy.
On the way back to Uncle Mu, people kept saying goodbye to them, but Uncle Mu gave everyone a few words of advice, which was nothing more than telling them to hand over the meat as soon as possible and keep the rest.
Gu Yuan's ears were almost calloused after hearing it so many times.
He didn't know what Uncle Mu was thinking, and the others were not fools. It was enough to say this once, and everyone else was listening, so he had to take the trouble to say it again and again.
Finally we arrived at Uncle Mu's house, and Blair lived next door to him.
The two families have always been neighbors, so Uncle Mu grew up watching Blair, and the relationship between the two families has always been very good.
Entering the yard, Uncle Mu's wife came out first. She was shocked when she saw so many people. She thought she had brought back all the gains of the entire team, but even so, this was a bit exaggerated. .
Uncle Mu didn't explain this at the moment.
"Quickly, open the room next to it and find a new quilt. Sir, follow me!" Uncle Mu walked in front and pushed open a room on the left side of the yard. The bed inside looked very clean, like It was as if it had been prepared for them in advance.
After putting Fang Lan on the bed, Uncle Mu's wife also brought the quilt over.
She didn't know why her husband suddenly brought two strangers home, but she believed in her husband and did whatever Uncle Mu said without any hesitation.
"Sorry to trouble you." Gu Yuan glanced at Uncle Mu and said with a smile.
"Sir, please don't say that!" Uncle Mu quickly waved his hand, "This is what we should do."
"By the way, sir, let me introduce you, this is my wife, her name is Fina."
Gu Yuan looked at Uncle Mu's wife, smiled and nodded, as a greeting.
When they saw the statue before, Uncle Mu and others looked weird, but now, they are much more normal.
After a while, Uncle Mu, who was standing aside, whispered again: "Sir, please rest first while I go prepare some food."
"Do not bother."
"You rest first, I'll go right away!"
Uncle Mu took his wife out of the house, went straight to the kitchen, and explained.
When she found out that so much meat was from her own family, Fina also showed a surprised expression on her face.
"These, so many, all belong to our family?"
"Well, so it's all thanks to that gentleman!" Uncle Mu said with a smile, "Fina, let's prepare more food and thank that gentleman!"
"good!"
Fina's face was full of excitement and she quickly got busy.
Not long after.
As soon as Gu Yuan walked out of the small room, he smelled a strange fragrance coming from outside.
This is the smell of meat, but this kind of smell is something Gu Yuan has never felt before. Just smelling it, Gu Yuan couldn't help but swallow his saliva, and he wished he could rush into the kitchen right now and put his hand into the pot. Fish out some meat and stuff it into your mouth.
When this idea came to his mind, Gu Yuan's expression immediately changed.
"This meat... isn't right either." He stood up, walked to the door, and murmured.
