Traveling to ancient times, with space

Chapter 191 Village

As a result, they were too busy taking care of themselves to stop the people in the city from escaping.

However, what is even more terrifying is that many of the upper echelons of Black Illusion City have also been poisoned by this poison.

They had no idea when or where they were poisoned, let alone the methods and means used by the poisoner.

Some people remain completely unaware of this until the moment of their death.

As panic spread rapidly, Black Illusion City was completely reduced to a chaotic city devoid of any order.

Some ordinary people in the city were terrified and tried every means to escape the place in order to save themselves.

After this ordeal, Black Illusion City suffered a devastating blow and incurred extremely heavy losses.

The mystery of the past is gone, replaced by endless fear.

The desert was swept by relentless winds, and the sandstorms raged against Su Yue and Dali as they struggled to make their way through the desert.

The sandstorm relentlessly seeped into their hair, clothes, and even every inch of their skin, as if trying to completely engulf them.

The long trek left the two women exhausted. Finally, they collapsed onto the sand dunes, motionless.

"I can't go on anymore, Dali, let's go tomorrow!" Su Yue said breathlessly, her voice filled with helplessness and exhaustion.

“Okay, then I’ll cook.” Dali replied, quietly waiting for Su Yue to take out the boiler and tent from her spatial storage.

After Su Yue took out the heavy boiler and tent, Dali quickly took over the items, skillfully unfolded and organized them.

Then, she picked up Su Yue and carefully walked into the tent.

Upon entering the tent, Su Yue immediately felt a sense of warmth.

She quickly moved closer to the stove, stretched out her hands to warm them, and tried to dispel the cold from her body.

Meanwhile, Dali was busy baking buns, and the aroma filled the small space.

Before long, the steaming hot buns were ready. Su Yue couldn't wait to pick one up and take a big bite.

However, the moment she took a bite, she couldn't help but frown: "This awful place, I'm never coming back. Ugh, ugh, my mouth is full of sand, it's never stopped."

As she spoke, she spat out several mouthfuls of sand, then took a bite of the bun, and lay down on the chair with a mournful expression, complaining.

Dali sat silently beside Su Yue, placed her legs on his lap, and began to massage them rhythmically.

Feeling the comfort brought by Dali's strong hands, Su Yue couldn't help but exclaim, "Dali, you're learning so many more things now!"

Hearing Su Yue's praise, Dali just smiled sheepishly and didn't say anything, but his eyes revealed a deep sense of happiness and satisfaction.

And so, time slipped away unnoticed, and night quietly fell.

The night passed peacefully, and the two drifted off to sleep nestled together.

As the first rays of dawn pierce the darkness, a new day begins.

On the first morning, before dawn, Su Yue and Dali got up early to prepare to continue their journey.

Because the sun is too strong during the day, try to walk as much as possible in the morning or afternoon.

After several hours of arduous travel, just before noon, a blurry outline appeared on the distant horizon.

Su Yue rubbed her eyes, unable to believe what she was seeing: "Dali...is that a village?"

Su Yue held Dali's hand tightly, and the two of them stared intently at the scene.

Su Yue asked again, "Look at that place in the distance, doesn't it look like a village?"

Dali narrowed his eyes slightly, stared intently for a moment, and then replied, "Yes, it does look like a village."

Hearing this, Su Yue was so excited she almost jumped up. She cheered and shouted, "Great! Oh yeah! I've finally gotten out of this damn desert! Dali, let's hurry up and go to the village to ask the villagers for directions."

With that, he pulled Dali along and ran towards the village.

When they arrived at the village entrance, the blazing sun had just risen to its highest and hottest position in the sky.

Only then did they truly understand what it meant to "look at the mountain and run until the horse dies".

Although the village didn't seem far from them from a distance, it actually took them almost an hour to walk there.

Upon closer inspection, the sight of the village made the two men suspicious. Most of the houses looked dilapidated, as if they had been abandoned for a long time.

They also guessed it might be an abandoned village.

However, no matter what, there are still a few dilapidated houses that can provide shelter from the wind and sand.

After all, they had been in the vast desert for so many days and hadn't seen any normal houses for a long time.

So even these dilapidated houses felt especially dear to them at that moment.

However, the moment the two stepped into the village, Su Yue suddenly sensed something was amiss.

With her keen intuition, she felt that the village was not as simple as it seemed on the surface.

So she focused her mind and conducted a survey of the entire village.

Sure enough, after the investigation, Su Yue was surprised to find...

Those seemingly dilapidated houses were merely a facade to deceive people.

The real village is hidden beneath these dilapidated houses; that's where the villagers live their daily lives.

"Is anyone there?" Su Yue asked tentatively, then stood quietly waiting for a response.

However, all around was silent except for the sound of a gentle breeze, and then I stood quietly in place waiting for a response.

After waiting for a long time, there was finally a slight movement from the half-collapsed wall behind them, which had been silent.

First came a soft rustling sound, as if something was being moved carefully.

Then, a dark head slowly emerged, but only half of it was visible.

"Who are you? What are you doing here?" The voice from behind the wall was low and full of vigilance.

Upon hearing the question, Su Yue, who was standing not far away, quickly stepped forward and replied with a friendly smile, "Hello!"

My sister and I were passing by when the sun was so intense that it made us dizzy and lightheaded.

Therefore, I would like to ask to stay here for the night. Would you be so kind as to do me this favor?

As she spoke, she bowed slightly towards the top of the wall.

However, the person behind the wall did not respond immediately, seemingly deep in thought.

Seeing this, Su Yue quickly added, "Don't worry, we're not bad people at all. We just really want to stay for one night."

Furthermore, if you are willing to take us in, we will pay you the appropriate amount of silver.

After a while, the person behind the wall spoke again: "I see... Alright then, you wait here for a moment, I'll go inside and ask."
