Before Huangfu Ruiling could finish, Ye Lengan interrupted, No one here has a phone. Not only mobile phones but also computers and things like these. Anyway, there are no communication devices that can obtain information from the outside world.

You know that? Although a little surprised, Huangfu Ruiling still nodded calmly. You are right. This is the strangest thing.

In this era where communication facilities were becoming more and more developed, there was actually a place that did not communicate with the outside world at all. To modern people, this was simply a fantasy.

Its not strange. Ye Lengan leaned back and said with a smile, Theres no signal here. Also, the outside definitely cant detect this place. In other words, if anything happens to us here, itll be very difficult for the people outside to find out.

Huangfu Ruiling smiled and looked at Ye Lengan with a hint of interest in his tone, It seems that you know a lot of things!

It was obvious that Ye Lengan knew much more about the village than he did.

However, although he was curious, he would not investigate it too much. Everyone had their own secrets. If Ye Lengan was willing to tell him, then he would listen. If she was unwilling to tell him, he would not force her.

Thats right. Ye Lengan nodded and continued, Furthermore, I know something very important. Previously, didnt the guide say that the people in this village rarely went out? In fact, it is not that they rarely go out, but that they never go out at all. Of course, I dont know if its all of them or just a portion of them. They seem to have been trapped in this place for generations and cant get out at all. However, they must have thought of a way to get out of here. However, getting out seems to cost many lives.

Huangfu Ruiling immediately thought of the key point. We have what they want, right?

Otherwise, they would not have let them stay in the village. The secret in the village was so big that the villagers definitely did not want any outsider to stay here unless they wanted something from the outsider.

Its me. Ye Lengan pointed at the tip of her nose and said, Im their target.

Perhaps, to be precise, it should be my life!

Huangfu Ruilings expression didnt change, but there was a coldness in the depths of his eyes. He spoke in an icy tone, Humph, theyre quite bold!

Ye Lengan felt a chill down her spine, and she couldnt help but s.h.i.+ver.

However, she seemed to have thought of something and said excitedly, I have good news! It is still unknown whether there are Baizhe Woods and Yuanyang Flowers in this village, but it is very likely that there is the Golden Gu King in this village.

The Golden Gu King? Huangfu Ruiling frowned. Is there any difference between this and the Gu King?

Theres a big difference! Ye Lengans eyes lit up. The Golden Gu King is much more powerful than the Gu Kings. Most importantly, the Golden Gu King is ownerless. Gu Kings will usually listen to whoever raises them. To raise a Gu King, the owner of the Gu King will usually feed it with his or her own blood in the later stages. When a Gu worm finally becomes a Gu King, it will remember its owners aura and listen to its owners words. However, if a Gu King is not well-controlled, it will bite back at its owner. Also, there could be many Gu Kings. But the Golden Gu King is different. In this world, there is only one. It could be said that all the Gu worms and Gu Kings combined are not as powerful as the Golden Gu King. Most importantly, the Golden Gu King doesnt recognize its master just depending on where the blood it drinks is from. The Golden Gu King doesnt understand humans. If anyone forces it to acknowledge he or her as its master, it may be provoked to the point of mutual destruction.

Looking at Ye Lengans bright eyes, Huangfu Ruiling said, You seem to be very interested in the Golden Gu King.

Of course! Ye Lengan felt that she had nothing to hide. I believe that every doctor will be interested in this. I wonder where the Golden Gu King is hiding.

Even if we cant get it, it wont be bad to take a look.

However, she was certain that if the Golden Gu King was really in the village, the people here would not show it to her. One had to know that almost all the people who raised Gu worms regarded the Golden Gu King as a G.o.d. How could they show it to an outsider like her?

Lets not talk about the Golden Gu King, Huangfu Ruiling said. You just said that their target is you. What do you mean?

Actually, Im not sure either. They were too secretive when they spoke. Ye Lengan shook her head. However, one thing is for sure. They want to keep us here forever. Im their target, but they wont let go of you either.

There was only one way to make one stay here forever, and that was to leave his or her life here.

If they have the ability, they can try. Huangfu Ruilings tone was cold with a trace of disdain. The truth will tell them what wishful thinking is.

I feel that they should be making a move soon, Ye Lengan guessed. They are not sure how many days we will stay. Once we leave, they are afraid that they will not have the chance. I think, if possible, they probably dont want to have a

direct confrontation with us.

If thats the case, then let them do it as soon as possible so that we can know their purpose. Huangfu Ruiling looked at Ye Lengan and said lightly, Speaking of this place, theres not much fun here. So, were about to leave, arent we?

Ye Lengan understood and nodded with a smile. Thats true. Such a small village, and weve finished touring it in a day. Therefore, its time for us to bid farewell to the tribe leader.

At dinner time, Li San said goodbye on behalf of Huangfu Ruling, indicating that they planned to leave the village tomorrow.

Hearing that they were about to leave, the smile on Duo Jis face immediately stiffened, but then he immediately returned to normal and began to persuade them to stay. Actually, you dont have to leave in such a hurry. There are still many places with good scenery here. Why dont I find someone to take you around tomorrow and let me be a good host!

No need. Ye Lengan shook her head with a smile and refused, Ive already finished strolling around the village today. Its time to leave.. We still have to go to the next place!
