Chapter 118 Villagers’ Help
Chapter 118 Villagers’ Help
Shen Mo, Lin Yuwei and Ye Lan had just experienced a battle with strange creatures in the cave and were about to take a break when they heard footsteps coming from outside the cave.
The three of them suddenly became nervous. Lin Yuwei tightly grasped the corner of Shen Mo's clothes, her eyes full of fear. Shen Mo made a gesture to silence everyone, and then carefully poked his head out of the cave to look.
I saw several figures swaying at the entrance of the cave. Judging from their figures, they didn't look like the time guardians I met before. Shen Mo breathed a sigh of relief, but he still didn't dare to take it lightly.
"Who is it?" Shen Mo asked loudly.
The figure outside the cave heard the voice and paused for a moment, then a familiar voice came: "It's me, Aqiang from the village."
Shen Mo walked out of his hiding place and saw A Qiang and several villagers standing at the entrance of the cave.
"Aqiang, why are you here?" Shen Mo asked puzzledly.
Ah Qiang said, "We are worried about your safety, so the elder asked us to come and have a look."
Shen Mo said gratefully: "Thank you, but this place is not safe either. We just encountered some strange creatures."
A Qiang and the villagers walked into the cave and were surprised to see the corpses of the creatures on the ground.
"What is this?" Aqiang asked.
Ye Lan explained: "We didn't know either. They suddenly appeared and attacked us."
The villagers brought some food and water, and Shen Mo and the others took them, feeling warm in their hearts.
"We can't hide here forever. We have to find a way to get rid of those time guardians." Shen Mo said while eating.
Aqiang thought for a moment and said, "There is a secret passage in our village that leads to the other side of the mountain. Maybe you can leave from there."
Shen Mo's eyes lit up: "Really? That's great."
Led by Aqiang, they walked along the secret passage, which was narrow and dark and could only be illuminated by weak torches.
"Everyone be careful, some places here are not stable." Aqiang reminded from the front.
Lin Yuwei accidentally stepped on a loose stone and almost fell. Fortunately, Ye Lan supported her in time.
"Thank you." Lin Yuwei said.
After a difficult trek, they finally walked out of the passage.
"Finally it came out." Lin Yuwei took a deep breath.
However, before they had time to relax, they discovered a group of people searching for something not far away.
"Oh no, it might be the Guardian of Time." Shen Mo said.
They quickly hid in the bushes nearby.
"It seems they have discovered our whereabouts." Ye Lan said.
Shen Mo frowned: "We have to find a way to lure them away."
Lin Yuwei said: "I have an idea. We can create some noise and lead them in the opposite direction."
Shen Mo thought for a moment: "This may be possible, but it is very dangerous."
Lin Yuwei said firmly: "It doesn't matter, as long as we can get everyone out safely, this little danger is nothing."
So, Lin Yuwei quietly went around to the other side and threw a stone. The sound of the stone falling to the ground attracted the attention of the Guardian of Time.
"Over there, chase him!" The Time Guardians ran towards the direction of the sound.
Shen Mo and his men took the opportunity to move quickly in another direction.
They ran for a long time and only stopped when they were sure they had gotten rid of the Time Guardian.
"Lin Yuwei hasn't caught up yet." Ye Lan said worriedly.
Shen Mo said: "She is very smart, she will be fine, let's find a place to hide and wait for her."
They found a secluded cave in a nearby valley.
"Just wait for her here." Shen Mo said.
Time passed minute by minute, and Lin Yuwei still didn't show up. Shen Mo and Ye Lan were filled with worry.
"No, I want to go find her." Shen Mo stood up.
Ye Lan stopped him: "Wait a little longer, maybe she will be here soon."
Just then, footsteps were heard at the entrance of the cave.
"Is it Lin Yuwei?" Shen Mo asked nervously.
"It's me." Lin Yuwei's voice came, and Shen Mo and Ye Lan finally put their minds at ease.
"I'm glad you're okay." Shen Mo said.
Lin Yuwei walked into the cave and said, "Fortunately, we led them away, but we were almost discovered."
After all these twists and turns, they were all exhausted.
"Let's take a rest first." Shen Mo said.
After resting in the cave for a night, they continued on their journey the next morning.
As they walked, they came to a small town.
"There are a lot of people here, so we have to be careful." Shen Mo said.
They walked into the town and found it was very lively with people coming and going.
"Let's find a place to inquire about the news first." Ye Lan said.
They came to a teahouse, sat down to drink tea and listened to the conversations of people around them.
"I heard that some mysterious people appeared nearby recently, looking for some treasure." said one person.
Shen Mo, Lin Yuwei and Ye Lan looked at each other and realized that those mysterious people were most likely the guardians of time.
"We have to leave here as soon as possible to avoid being discovered." Shen Mo said.
They left the teahouse and prepared to leave the city.
However, at the city gate, they saw the figure of the Guardian of Time.
"What should we do?" Lin Yuwei asked.
Shen Mo said: "Don't panic, let's blend in with the crowd and walk out slowly."
They tried their best to appear natural, but the Time Keeper's gaze still swept over them...
