Chapter 92 Fox Village

Pei Xianjue blinked and asked, "Just let them make so much noise?"

"I don't understand what they are talking about, how can I persuade them?" Feng Ling said indifferently, "Besides, one of them is a player and the other is from the game system. It's normal for them to dislike each other."

Feng Ling glanced at Huangfu Miaomiao and Li Qing behind him and thought that since these two people couldn't fight each other anyway, what was there to worry about?
She felt at ease and continued to move forward.

There is a big corner ahead, the mountain wall is steep and the road is a bit slippery.

Feng Ling slowed down his pace and looked up into the distance, "Don't you think the fog is not that heavy?"

Pei Xianjue also looked into the distance, "It's true. The visibility was only about ten meters just now, but now the visible range has become wider... Those seem to be houses at the foot of the mountain?"

Feng Ling waved to Li Qing behind him: "Master, come and take a look, what is that place?"

Upon hearing this, Li Qing walked to the front, took a closer look, and frowned slightly, "I don't know. According to the location, that place should be the highway and parking lot near the scenic area."

"But it looks like an ancient village." Pei Xianjue frowned, his expression showing discomfort, "I wonder if there are people living in the village... If there are people, are the humans in the maze considered human beings?"

"There are more footprints around here..." Feng Ling lowered his head and stopped next to a bush. "The size of this footprint looks like it was left by a giant wolf."

After hearing this, Pei Xianjue hurried over and found that there was indeed an exceptionally large beast footprint on the mud ground, and there were dark red blood stains nearby, which were most likely left by the injured Liang Zhou.

She walked a few steps in the direction of the footprints and found new bloodstains.

Pei Xianjue felt a little uneasy. He looked towards the hazy village in the distance again, submerged in the fog, and said uncertainly, "He seems to be going to the village..."

"Let's go and take a look too." Feng Ling made the decision immediately.

……

The mountain road was difficult to walk on. Although they could see the ancient buildings with green tiles and gray walls from afar, it took them two hours to finally reach their destination.

When viewed from a distance, the houses appear to be next to each other. When you get closer, you will find that the houses are very far apart, either separated by a wasteland, a dense forest or a hillside.

Moreover, these houses do not look like they are inhabited. They look like abandoned old houses with broken bricks and tiles, and most of the doors and windows are broken.

Feng Ling randomly opened the wooden door of one of the rooms, and dust immediately fell down. The room was filled with a damp and moldy smell. There were spider webs hanging from the beams, a few broken jars on the ground, and a wooden table with a missing leg.

She stepped out of the room puzzled, feeling strange.

Why are there these houses in the maze? They can't be decorations for atmosphere, right?

"There's someone in front!" Huangfu Miaomiao suddenly raised her hand and pointed to the hillside in front.

Feng Ling looked in the direction she pointed and indeed saw a woman dressed in ancient costume. The woman was digging wild vegetables on the hillside with a hoe in one hand and a bamboo basket in the other.

Feng Ling took two steps forward, and felt something was wrong again, frowned and said, "It's a fox."

She saw the other person's face clearly. It was hairy and had a fox head, just like the fox demon that was killed by the horse-faced monster on the mountain road before.

At this time, the fox demon on the hillside also discovered Feng Ling and his group.

It was not afraid of people. It giggled at Feng Ling, then picked up the basket and turned away.

She walked leisurely, with her hips swaying in an exaggerated manner, probably to fit the ancients' imagination of fox spirits.

"Ah..." Huangfu Miaomiao said, "The exploration degree has increased. It is now 23%."

Li Qing glanced at the surroundings and said, "This village should be a relatively important area, so the exploration level will increase."

Feng Ling asked curiously: "Besides exploring new places, what else can increase the degree of exploration?"

"Kill some unique monsters, such as the Bull-Headed and Horse-Faced Monsters." Li Qing paused and looked at Huangfu Miaomiao, "Players are required to kill them personally." Huangfu Miaomiao rolled her eyes at him unhappily, "I don't care. Even if the exploration degree reaches 100%, what does it matter? The maze won't give me any extra rewards."

Pei Xianjue looked at them and said, "Are we going into the village? This place feels weird."

"Now that we're here," Feng Ling looked at the back of the fox, "Besides... aren't you curious whether Liang Zhou is in the village?"

She picked up the axe and followed the fox demon.

The others exchanged glances and followed in silence.

Because the fox demon did not show any aggressiveness, Feng Ling did not attack it. After following it for a distance, she found that the number of fox demons had increased.

Some stood under the trees and whispered to each other, some hid in the windows of the dilapidated houses and peeked, some were grinding mills, some were carrying water, and some were hoeing the fields...

This turned out to be a fox village.

Each fox demon lives like a human, and is weird in every way.

Pei Xianjue gently touched Feng Ling's arm and motioned her to look to the left.

The fox demon in the yard on the left is pushing the millstone in circles. At first glance, it seems to be very diligent, but if you look closely, you will find that the millstone is empty and there is nothing in it.

The same goes for the fox demon in front carrying a bamboo basket. The basket contains a bunch of weeds that it has dug up randomly, which are not wild vegetables at all.

I don’t know how Maze managed to write the ability to imitate humans into the genes of these fox spirits.

Feng Ling looked at all this with curiosity.

Then she thought, since genes can allow fox demons to imitate humans, then the two fox demons who went up the mountain together before were also influenced by genes?
What is it about the mountain that attracts them?

Behind him, Li Qing and Huangfu Miaomiao stopped at some point.

Feng Ling turned around and found that their gazes were surprisingly consistent, both looking at an old willow tree in the middle of the village.

Under the tree, there is a stone statue that feels very incongruous.

Why do you say the stone statue is out of place?

Because this is an ancient-style village, the stone statue is in the shape of a cartoon smiling face placed on a table.

The smiley face and the table are connected as one, which is very strange.

Wait a moment……

Feng Ling suddenly thought of something.

A stone statue? A statue? ... A statue of a deity?
At this time, Huangfu Miaomiao looked over with eyes wide open, pointed at the smiling face and said to her: "It's a statue of a god!"

Feng Ling: “…………”

isn't it...

Do the gods in your world look so abstract?
I always thought it was a magnificent and sacred appearance!
And it was so sloppy, placed in such an obvious position, with only a group of neurotic foxes around it.

Feng Ling’s mood is hard to describe.

"Is this the statue?" Pei Xianjue breathed a sigh of relief. "Great! If the hero is still alive, the statue can help him reduce the pollution value, so that he can return to normal."

Feng Ling thought about it, strode towards the smiling face, and glanced around vigilantly - the fox demons didn't react at all.

She moved her mind slightly, summoned the nearby cat spider and cat owl, and then said to the people behind her: "Help me keep an eye on it, I'll try the statue."
