Hide Quickly!

The house was covered in thick dust. Spiders larger than running crabs clung to the beams, staring at her, while insects occasionally crawled out from the corners after being disturbed.

A ground beetle thicker than her arm was so frightened that it swiftly burrowed into a crack in the ground.

She grumbled inwardly, Who was frightening whom here?

She found no food in the house, but Jiang You found a section of bone in the kitchen.

It was a skull over half a meter long. Based on her experience with frequently gnawed bones, she was almost certain it was either a chicken skull or the skull of some other bird.

A chicken head this big?

And a bowl this big.

The shadows of those giants she had seen amid the mist in the south suddenly came to Jiang You's mind. If they were the giants, then this house should fit them perfectly...

Behind the house, she also found an abandoned vegetable garden. However, the garden contained nothing but a fence—not even a single blade of grass.

Jiang You searched almost every house in the entire village, but found nothing.

There was one strange thing, though. Beneath the eaves of many of these houses hung clusters of black feathers that looked like crow feathers.

She took down one cluster and spread it open, discovering that it was a hide with the skin and feathers peeled off together. Since it had been rolled up, all she could see was a cluster of black feathers, not the hide inside.

This place was getting stranger and stranger.

She had just walked out through the main entrance when her ears suddenly twitched.

Blood threads immediately gathered in her palm, rapidly condensing into a crimson saber.

However, the saber had only the outline of a blade.
