No one cared about the zombie scout that had run into the village.
Everyone was in high spirits. A few people even felt like cheering.
They had left the vast grassland shrouded in deathly air, which basically confirmed that they had made it through the first bout of Rule Pollution.
"Thank you, Lin God!"
"Thank you, Summer God!"
"Long live Captain Xia!"
The unaffiliated adventurers excitedly showered Lin Baici with praise, dishing out flattery as if it were free.
"It was nothing!"
Xia Hongyao's expression was calm, but inside, her little self was celebrating with her hands on her hips and her nose in the air!
Summer God?
That was a pretty good title!
But I want to be captain even more!
Kurita Isao watched Lin Baici gaze toward the village. His dislike of this Nine Provinces man had lessened ever so slightly.
The guy really was strong!
"Let's go into the village!"
Lin Baici had no intention of sneaking in quietly, the way you would if you didn't want to draw fire. The village was far too quiet for that.
Judging by the sun's height, it was about noon, but there wasn't even smoke rising from the village, which meant there probably weren't many people there.
On top of that, they couldn't hear any chickens clucking or dogs barking. For an ancient village, that was far too strange.
Three minutes later, everyone stood on the village's main street.
"Is there no one here at all?"
Sannomiya Airi was disappointed. She had wanted to look around an ancient village and talk with some of the villagers from the pre-Qin era.
"Not only are there no people!"
Long Miaomiao sniffed hard. "There aren't even any chickens or ducks!"
If there had been any, Long Miaomiao would have smelled the chicken meat.
