And within this, an unspeakable sense of danger rushed straight at Lin Ming.
But after Lin Ming strode in, it gave Lin Ming an extremely peaceful feeling.
Here, there were actually villages.
Lin Ming continued forward and entered a village.
“Someone’s coming, someone’s coming!”
A few children were playing in the water by the river. When they saw Lin Ming, they ran away.
“Good boy.”
An old lady with a kind face hugged a child in her arms.
“Which tribe are you from?”
The old lady looked at Lin Ming and asked.
“Tribe?”
Lin Ming frowned. Before Lin Ming came, he didn’t have a deep understanding of this place.
He only knew some things. He knew about the dangers of spring, summer, autumn, and winter, and what caused the dangers.
But after entering, not only were there no poisonous insects here, it was extremely peaceful. The people living here were all simple villagers.
“You are a foreigner?”
Seeing Lin Ming’s puzzled expression, the old lady asked Lin Ming.
“So you’re saying that you came from outside and there aren’t any tribes?”
The old lady asked again.
“Yes.”
Lin Ming nodded.
Lin Ming really didn’t know there was a tribe inside.
If he made it up, he wouldn’t be able to understand some of the things.
“Outsiders, it’s been a long time since any outsider came here.”
The old lady sighed.
“Mm.”
Lin Ming nodded again. The fact that Mountain Wuqi could unite so many empires and set up a defensive line showed how terrifying this place was.
Moreover, when Lin Ming entered, the officers and soldiers told him that even a level-7 mage wouldn’t have any chance of survival.
This was enough to prove how terrifying Mountain Wuqi was.
“Are you here to look for someone?”
The old lady looked at Lin Ming and asked kindly.
“No.”
Lin Ming shook his head.
“Have you eaten?”
The old lady asked again.
“Yes.”
Lin Ming nodded. At this moment, was there a purpose?
“It’s good that you’ve eaten.”
After hearing Lin Ming’s words, the old lady took her grandson home.
The remaining few children also dispersed in a hubbub and went to their respective mothers.
Lin Ming looked at the old lady who turned around and left, his brows furrowed tightly.
She actually left just like that?
Lin Ming did not stay any longer and continued to move forward.
Lin Ming left this village. He did not expect that there was actually an inn in this place!
Lin Ming entered the inn and sat down.
Everything was available here, and there were a few special dishes on the menu.
“Sir, what would you like to eat?”
Just as Lin Ming sat down, the waiter came over.
“Just these two dishes,” Lin Ming pointed at the two dishes on the top of the menu and said.
“Wait a moment.”
The waiter nodded and went to prepare the dishes.
Lin Ming looked around. He could tell that this inn had been cleaned by someone.
No matter which corner it was, it was clean and tidy.
Moreover, there were many people eating here.
The doubts in Lin Ming’s heart became deeper and deeper.
How could there be so many unarmed villagers in such a place?
Even if it was guarded by the army, they were still so far away. Moreover, they had to be careful day and night.
“Sir, your dishes are here.”
Just as Lin Ming was thinking, the waiter’s voice came again.
“Yes.”
Lin Ming nodded and picked up his chopsticks.
“It’s really livestock meat!”
Lin Ming saw the dishes and frowned again.
The dishes on the plate were really made of livestock meat.
Livestock didn’t have any magic power, and it was also suitable for the unarmed villagers who didn’t have any power.
This place made it more and more difficult for Lin Ming to see clearly.
“Sir, what are you talking about? Of course, this is the meat of domestic animals.”
When the waiter heard Lin Ming’s words, he revealed a smile.
Lin Ming did not eat the dishes on his plate. He only opened his mouth symbolically.
There must be something fishy going on. The calmer and more stable it was, the more suspicious Lin Ming became.
After all, this was the most dangerous place in this world!
This was Mountain Wuqi!
How could Mountain Wuqi, which had become a forbidden area for life, be filled with ordinary people?
“Sir, don’t you like our dishes?”
Seeing that Lin Ming didn’t eat it, the waiter hurriedly asked.
“No, no.”
Lin Ming waved his hand.
“Let’s settle the bill.”
Since it was the life of an ordinary person, it definitely needed money.
“Hello, a total of three coins.”
Sure enough, the waiter directly said the price.
“Three coins? So cheap? I only have this here.”
After hearing the price, Lin Ming directly took out a gold coin.
“This… This is too much. We have no way to open it here.”
Seeing Lin Ming take out the gold coin, the waiter was obviously panicking.
“How about you stay here for one night and I’ll serve you a few more dishes?”
The waiter asked Lin Ming.
“No need. The rest will be my tip to you.”
Lin Ming waved his hand. If he was in the inn, he would be like a sheep in the tiger’s den.
“You are so generous. Thank you, thank you!”
After hearing Lin Ming’s words, the waiter was so touched that he bowed repeatedly.
“No need.”
Lin Ming waved his hand and left the inn.
After Lin Ming walked out of the inn, he thought that he had nowhere to go, so he began to walk slowly.
Looking at the sky that was about to turn dark again, he sat down not far from the inn.
Finally, the sky turned dark. Lin Ming activated his dark aura and directly merged into the darkness.
Lin Ming began to observe the inn.
At night, the number of people in the inn decreased by a lot.
However, there were still some who stayed in the inn.
However, even after observing for a night, the inn was still full of people and noise. Nothing abnormal happened at all.
Lin Ming stood up and shook off the dust on his body.
Although he had not entered a state of sleep for an entire night, Lin Ming’s mental state was still very good.
Lin Ming continued to move forward.
The area of Mountain Wuqi was huge. It was so huge that even a single plate was as big as a huge city.
If Lin Ming only relied on himself to walk, it would probably take a very long time before he could walk out of the spring plate of Mountain Wuqi.
This was under the circumstances where everything was smooth sailing and there were no obstructions along the way. If there were any accidents, it would probably take even longer.
Of course, the number of people buried here was the greatest.
As Lin Ming advanced, he actually came to a town.
There was actually a town market in Mountain Wuqi.. If it was said outside, no one would believe it!
