Quick travel: the leisurely life of cannon fodder

"found it!"

"Found a castle!"

“And there’s a village!”

Ye Hua's voice rose slightly, with some excitement.

Upon hearing this, Mu Yan walked over and found that there really was a village with a castle inside. However, there were no villagers, so they might have all gone out.

The house looked a bit shabby in the photos taken by the detector, but the surrounding environment looked relatively clean.

When the others heard this, they also came over to take a look. Ding Mo said, "Brother Ye Hua, adjust the detector and take a closer look!"

"Okay!" Ye Hua adjusted the flight distance of the detector.

"boom!"

"Zizzizi!"

A dark shadow flashed by, the detector lost its signal, and the picture disappeared.

"Hey! What happened? Why did it break?" Xiao Li asked in confusion.

When the others saw this scene, they frowned slightly and their faces turned ugly.

Mu Yan was silent for a moment and said, "Should we go over there? It might be dangerous!"

Mu Xi fell silent after hearing this, and took a look at her ability interface and found new information.

He said, "There is a new situation with my ability. It says that there are rewards for exploring the castle. The longer you explore, the greater the reward."

Hearing this, Mu Yan thought for a moment and said, "It seems that if we want the reward, we still need to explore the castle."

"Then go ahead. It's a rare opportunity for you to come in. It would be a shame if you don't do anything. If you encounter danger, you can just retreat." Ye Qi said disapprovingly.

"Yes! There is nothing wrong with what Ye Qi said. We can just quit when the time comes." Chen Xin agreed.

"I also agree to explore it!" Ding Mo and Jiang Yao said a little excitedly.

Ye Hua and Chen Ji frowned. These two people had entered the dungeon many times. Obviously, they were not as optimistic as Ye Qi and others who entered the strange dungeon for the first time.

Ye Hua reminded, "The reason why the strange dungeon is so dangerous is that there are many unknown dangers and strange rules in the dungeon. The most important thing is that you don't know when the teleportation ability of the space power will be restricted, so don't get too excited."

Ye Qi and his companions were silent for a moment after hearing this, and then said, "We still want to explore it."

Seeing that most people wanted to go on an adventure, Mu Yan said, "Then let's pack up everything and set off. Everyone should be more vigilant."

Mu Xi stood quietly aside, waiting for the results of their discussion.

Finally, after packing up their things, several people headed towards the castle.

Mu Xi was tightly protected in the middle. After all, Mu Xi was the weakest person here, and also the most important. If something happened to Mu Xi, a group of people would be trapped in this strange copy.

"Crench!"

"rustle!"

Along the way, all I could hear was the sound of my teammates stepping on branches as they moved forward, the occasional rustling of leaves in the wind, and the miserable cries of birds from time to time.

It was creepy to hear. Under the big tree, there was no sunlight and the breeze made several people feel a chill on their backs. Even the constant temperature clothing couldn't block it.

The group slowly approached the village. The closer they got, the more nervous they became, and everyone was on edge.

"rustle!"

"Tower! Tower!"

Suddenly, the sound of branches breaking was heard along with the sound of footsteps.

Mu Yan protected Mu Xi and looked vigilantly in the direction of the sound.

Ye Hua and a few others also picked up their weapons and aimed them in the direction of the sound.

Amid the tension among the crowd, two natives emerged, with dark skin, thin bodies, and old faces.

A hoarse voice came over, saying, "Are you from outside the area too? Are you here to explore the castle?"

When Mu Yan heard the visitor directly state the purpose of his group, he was a little surprised and more alert, and asked, "Are you two from here?"

Heiya showed his white teeth, smiled and said, "We are villagers from Yongle Village, and the castle is at the end of our village."

Hei Dong also grinned and said, "Are you guys coming to the castle too? Come with us!"

Mu Yan and the others looked at each other with serious expressions, and they were hesitant about what to do.

Mu Yan said calmly, "Then I'll trouble you two brothers. What are your names?"

Hei Ya replied casually, "My name is Hei Ya, his name is Hei Dong, and everyone in our village has the surname Hei. You young people are really playful. You always come to explore this remote castle in our poor countryside. I don't know what you think?"

The others heard this and smiled awkwardly.

Mu Xi also heard a clue from the elder brother's words and asked softly, "Brother Heiya, you said that people often come to explore the castle? How often do they come and what happens?"

When Heiya heard Jiaojiao's soft voice, he immediately became enthusiastic and said, "Generally there is a visit once a month. As soon as they arrived, they entered the castle. Then we didn't know what happened and we didn't hear from them anymore. Maybe we didn't notice them and they left."

Ding Mo asked curiously, "Then you have never entered the castle?"

Hearing this, Heiya looked at Ding Mo in surprise and said, "How could you have such an idea? Ordinary villagers like us cannot enter the castle. Only the Saint Mother can enter. It is a forbidden place. You outsiders can also enter."

"Forbidden place?"

“Is there a story behind this?”

Jiang Yao also asked curiously.

"No! No! No! We don't know what's going on, but we can't go in."

When Heiya said this, there was a hint of fear in his eyes.

"Then can we stay in your village tonight?" Chen Xin looked at the sky and said to Hei Ya.

"No, you can't! We don't have a place for you to stay in our village. If you want to live, you can live in the castle. It's very clean inside. The saint woman will go in and clean it regularly."

Before Heiya could say anything, Heidong quickly refuted, and his expression seemed a little nervous.

Upon hearing this, Mu Yan and his companions became even more alert. It seemed that this ancient castle had many problems.

Chen Ji noticed the nervousness of Hei Ya and Hei Dong, and began to change the subject, asking, "Are there other villages nearby?"

Seeing that no one asked about the castle, Hei Dong heaved a sigh of relief and said, "No, this place is far away from the town. It takes several days to go out. I don't know why you came here."

When Ye Hua and the others heard Heidong's complaints, they felt a little embarrassed and made up an excuse to get away with it.

Along the way, Mu Yan and his companions kept asking Hei Ya and Hei Dong for clues about the castle.

Soon, Heidong and Heiya brought Muxi and a few others to the village.

Mu Xi finally saw the appearance of the village, sparse thatched houses and mud brick houses, uneven.

There were not many people around. Occasionally a child would show up and then quickly hide.
