Quick travel: the leisurely life of cannon fodder

The sound of wind chimes became more rapid, and a red mist spread from the back mountain, quickly turning Taohua Village into a red ocean.

Mu Xi and the others hid in the room. The footsteps accompanied by the wind chimes slowly approached. They patrolled outside the house a few times and then left.

"what!"

"Help!"

Sharp sounds continued to come.

Time passed by little by little. After an unknown amount of time, calm finally returned outside and the three unconscious brothers slowly woke up.

"What happened?"

"How did we get back?"

Yan Yang asked with a puzzled look on his face.

Mu Yan simply recounted the whole story.

Yan Yang replied, "We met Chief Han and started chatting, but not long after, Chief Han said mysteriously that he would take us to see something magical."

Yan Hai coughed lightly and continued, "We were also curious at the time, so we stopped when we arrived at the peach blossom forest, and then we were pushed in by Chief Han."

Yan He continued, "Then our consciousness started to blur. At that time, Chief Han was still muttering to the side that as long as someone sacrificed, we would be able to cultivate a stronger peach demon. He also said that we would be able to win the game then."

Mu Yan frowned when he heard this and asked, "Any other information?"

Yan Yang thought for a moment and replied, "No, we were confused at the time and only heard these. We don't know what happened afterwards."

Mu Yan heard this and said, "If there is nothing else, you can take a rest first. We can talk about it tomorrow if there is anything else."

After expressing their concern for a few moments, the others went back to rest.

It was very quiet all night, without any noise.

The next day, Mu Yan and others wanted to find Chief Han again to ask him what happened, but Chief Han seemed to have expected this and hid himself early.

The people in the village didn’t know what notice they had received, and they quickly avoided Mu Xi and others when they saw them.

A few days later, until the Flower God Festival, Mu Xi and his companions failed to catch up with Patriarch Han.

Mu Yan and others could only curse that Chief Han was too cunning, an old fox!

When the Flower Goddess Festival came, the entire mountain behind the village began to be decorated with lights and colors. The clouds and mist on the mountain behind also dispersed. Everything became very abnormal. Overnight, the mountain behind changed its appearance.

In recent days, Mu Yan and others have not seen the villagers preparing for the festival, nor do they know who decorated the back mountain.

The villagers of Taohua Village came out, which was rare. It was very lively. Everyone had a smile on their face and looked very happy.

"Let's go up and join in the fun, and by the way, see how Zhao Qi and the others are doing, and whether they have found out any information." Ye Hua said to everyone with a smile.

"Okay, let's go!" Ye Qi replied.

The group soon arrived at the foot of the mountain and met Chief Han who was walking hurriedly up the mountain.

"Chief Han, long time no see. You left in such a hurry. Is there something wrong?" Mu Jing shouted loudly to Chief Han.

When Chief Han heard the voice of the long-lost stranger, he paused for a moment, and his irritated expression immediately turned into a smile. He said, "It's you. I'm going to go see how the banquet tonight is arranged. I wanted to look for you later, but I didn't expect to meet you here."

Hearing this, Mu Yan smiled and replied, "I wonder what you want from us?"

Mu Xi stood aside and looked at Patriarch Han for a few seconds. After not seeing him for a few days, he looked much younger. No one knew what good things had happened to him, but his expression seemed to be mixed with sadness.

Hearing this, Chief Han continued, "It's like this. During the Flower God Festival, we will invite outsiders like you to be our guests. You must come then. I heard that the other two villages will also bring people here tonight. Maybe you know them."

"Oh, so that's the case. We will be there on time tonight." Mu Yan replied politely.

"Okay! Okay! Okay! I have something else to do, so I'll leave first. Have fun!" Patriarch Han replied happily after hearing this, and then left in a hurry.

After everyone left, Mu Xi and his group continued to move forward. The villagers they met along the way greeted them warmly, as if their previous cold attitude had never existed.

It wasn't long before we reached the top of the mountain. There was a large open space on the top of the mountain where a stage and other things had been set up. There were also many snacks and fruits placed on it. The villagers were all in groups of three or five, talking and laughing and chatting.

Everything seemed very normal, as if it was just an ordinary banquet.

People from the other two villages were also seen on the top of the mountain. Each village had a distinct style of clothing and was easy to identify.

"Mu Xi, here, you are here too!" Zhao Yuan said excitedly after seeing Mu Xi.

Following his sister's call, Zhao Qi also saw Mu Xi and her group, so he pulled Zhao Yuan and walked over.

When Mu Xi heard this, she looked up and saw that Zhao Yuan was fine, so she smiled.

"Yuanyuan, you guys are up here too, let's find a place where there's no one around to talk." Mu Xi replied with a smile.

The group found a remote and deserted place, greeted each other, and began to exchange information.

"Have you found any clues?" Mu Xi asked straight to the point.

Zhao Qi heard this and replied seriously, "We know there will be a sacrifice today, and there will be humans as sacrifices. But we don't know whether we will be the sacrifices or the villagers."

When Mu Yan heard this, he frowned and said, "We know a little about this, but have you noticed that there are no babies in the village? I suspect that the sacrifices are these children."

Zhao Qi heard this and replied, "We haven't seen him in our village either, but our village chief is very strange, and I don't know if we can see him tonight."

Afterwards, the two teams exchanged information again.

Zhao Yuan said to Mu Xi, "I'm almost exhausted these past few days. I can't sleep every night, and my teammates disappear inexplicably every day."

When Mu Xi heard this, she replied, "We have the same situation here."

Zhao Yuan continued, "I haven't seen Zhao Sen yet, so I don't know what the situation is like over there."

When Mu Xi heard this, she frowned slightly and said, "I haven't seen it either."

Although he would rather Zhao Sen disappear in this copy, if he did that, he would lose the clue to a village.

"Hey! You're all here? It's so lively, why don't you come out and play?"

Zhao Sen spoke to Mu Yan and others in a sarcastic tone.

When Mu Xi saw the person coming, her heart trembled slightly. She didn't know why, but she always felt that Zhao Sen was even darker now. Even from such a distance, she could feel that Zhao Sen had bad intentions towards her.

Zhao Qi heard this and said, "Zhao Sen, you're here. How's the situation over there? Why are you alone? Where are your teammates?"

When Zhao Sen heard this, he said sinisterly, "Teammate! You have all become wandering ghosts."

Everyone was shocked when they heard this and looked at Zhao Sen vigilantly.

"Hahaha!"

"I was just kidding you guys. Don't be so nervous! My teammates are all up there. I'm just taking a walk alone."

Zhao Sen laughed wildly and looked mentally unstable.

Everyone: "......"

It's not funny at all. Who would joke about the lives of their teammates!

Mu Xi: “….”

It seems that Zhao Sen has experienced a lot of things after entering this copy, otherwise how could he become mentally ill!

Zhao Qi smiled awkwardly and said, "Is that so? What are you doing here? If nothing, how about going back to the banquet first?"

Zhao Sen smiled and said, "I haven't seen my old classmates for a long time. I don't know if I can get out alive this time. Isn't this why I came to chat with Zhao Yuan and Mu Xi?"

Mu Xi: "......"

Thank you for the invitation! I don’t want to reminisce with you!

Zhao Yuan directly retorted, "We are not familiar with each other, there is nothing to talk about. If you want to talk, you should wait until you die and talk to your goddess Yang Tongna."

Zhao Sen was not angry after hearing what he said. He looked at Mu Xi and Zhao Yuan sinisterly for a few times and left.
