Towards Eternity
Ch 360s. Village Fog (I)
After moving for almost three hours, finally the group of Weng Lou came out of the Fog Forest.
Yet despite successfully exiting, their facial expressions all looked tangled, especially Lin Mei and Man Yue.
Their horse-drawn carriage is currently very dirty because it is covered by a green sticky liquid on the roof. The clothes worn by Weng Lou, Weng Ying Luan, and also Shan Hu who was sitting on the roof of the carriage were in the same condition.
"I swear I won't pass through this place again until anytime." said Lin Mei with a dark face.
On the other hand, Man Yue simply kept silent and clenched her hands tightly.
Previously, when they finished fighting some bandits inside the Mist Forest, suddenly dozens of giant spiders attacked them from behind the thick fog.
The spider moved so fast that it was very difficult for Weng Lou to face it alone, so he was helped by Weng Ying Luan and Shan Hu, kill all the spiders that attack them.
Although the strength of this spider was only at the 11th level of the Foundation Foundation until the 1st stage of the Soul Cleansing realm, in fact the three of them remained troubled to take care of them, so some of the spiders managed to escape their surveillance and attack towards the carriage.
Lin Mei who saw that without a second thought immediately finished off the spider that had escaped. But, without him knowing it turns out that the spider is able to shoot very sticky, so it makes him panic.
Not panic because of fear of the dangers of the threads but fear because the threads look disgusting. Moreover, when the spider was destroyed the greenish liquid spurt out from inside the spider's body which was none other than its blood and hit its entire body.
Finally Lin Mei ended up screaming hysterically until she didn't realize that any other spiders were moving towards her. Man Yue who saw that was also intending to help him, but without her guessing the drinya was also hit by the splinter of spider blood that covered his entire body.
The two ended up screaming hysterically while Weng Lou, Weng Ying Luan, and Shan Hu tried as quickly as possible to finish off all the spiders that attacked them.
After finishing finishing all the spiders, Lin Mei and Man Yue went to clean their bodies from the threads and blood of the spiders on their bodies.
Unwilling to waste time, Weng Lou, Weng Ying Luan, and Shan Hu chose not to clean themselves.
After Lin Mei and Man Yue finished cleaning themselves, they continued their journey with a different atmosphere.
Lin Mei throughout the rest of the journey cursed and cursed Weng Lou, Weng Ying Luan, and also Shan Hu who felt incompetent in the face of the spiders before so they were exposed to the spurts of spider blood.
The three of them could only hear all of that while refraining from cursing back, because honestly, Weng Lou and Weng Ying Luan were actually playing around in the face of the spiders attacking them.
***
About a kilometer from the Forest is located, there is a small village covered by fog around it and make people who pass it will mostly pass through because they do not see it.
The Weng Lou group train moved towards the village after Weng Lou, Weng Ying Luan, and Shan Hu cleaned their bodies and changed the clothes they were wearing.
From a distance, it looks like a village that has died because there is no human living there. However, when they reached the village Weng Lou and others could feel the presence of houses in this village.
But they chose not to care too much about it and looked for lodging in the village.
They all went inside after Pang Baicha had loaded their chariots and horses into a small, empty building next to the inn.
Walking into the inn, they were immediately greeted by the atmosphere of a very quiet guest room.
Weng Lou turned to the right and left looking for the owner of the inn before then from inside a room, out a middle-aged woman and approached them with a gloomy look.
Weng Lou's eyebrows shot up staring at the expression of the woman, he seemed to find something strange happening in this place.
"Welcome visitors, do you want to stay, or eat?" asked the woman while looking at Weng Lou and the others with a slightly frightened look.
"We will stay here and eat. How many rooms are there?" Jian Qiang asked the woman.
"We only have four rooms in this place." The woman answered quickly.
"We order everything, prepare us all the dishes provided in this place, soon we will eat" said Jian Qiang.
The woman nodded and then escorted them all towards the room that was meant by her.
Jian Qiang took one room for himself, while the others paired up one room. Weng Lou with Weng Ying Luan, Lin Mei with Man Yue, and Shan Hu with Pang Baichi.
Jian Qiang gave the woman a bag of money which contained dozens of silver coins inside. It might look a little in the eyes of Weng Lou and the others, yet it was an overwhelming amount to a rural person like this inn lady.
After that they went into the room to rest for a few minutes before then went back out and returned to the previous guest room which was a place to eat for the guests of the inn.
It looks like some of the cuisine is already on one of the tables that are there which seems to have to be heated by the woman before.
Without a doubt, Weng Lou and the others immediately went to the table and ate the food provided. There is no meat menu among the dishes provided.
They did not question it too much and thought maybe this was because they could not look for meat because the Mist Forest contained many ferocious beasts.
When he finished eating, Weng Lou placed the chopsticks in his hands on the table and looked seriously at Weng Ying Luan and the others.
"I feel like there's something strange in this village. The attitude of this inn woman is very abnormal, as if something scares her as well as the other residents," he said while looking outside the inn.
"I also thought like that, I think there's a problem that's been afflicting this village." Lin Mei made a comment.
"What it is, we don't know. So you do not do anything dangerous, observe the condition first before acting. The matter that befell this village must not be an ordinary matter" said Jian Qiang who drank his wine.
After they all ate, they chose to go back to their rooms and practice. It was currently daytime, so they had to take advantage of the time to strengthen themselves.
