Before Huangfu Ruiling could finish, Ye Leng’an interrupted, “No one here has a phone. Not only mobile phones but also computers and things like these. Anyway, there are no communication devices that can obtain information from the outside world.”

“You know that?” Although a little surprised, Huangfu Ruiling still nodded calmly. “You are right. This is the strangest thing.”

In this era where communication facilities were becoming more and more developed, there was actually a place that did not communicate with the outside world at all. To modern people, this was simply a fantasy.

“It’s not strange.” Ye Leng’an leaned back and said with a smile, “There’s no signal here. Also, the outside definitely can’t detect this place. In other words, if anything happens to us here, it’ll be very difficult for the people outside to find out.’

Huangfu Ruiling smiled and looked at Ye Leng’an with a hint of interest in his tone, “It seems that you know a lot of things!”

It was obvious that Ye Leng’an knew much more about the village than he did.

However, although he was curious, he would not investigate it too much. Everyone had their own secrets. If Ye Leng’an was willing to tell him, then he would listen. If she was unwilling to tell him, he would not force her.

“That’s right.” Ye Leng’an nodded and continued, “Furthermore, I know something very important. Previously, didn’t the guide say that the people in this village rarely went out? In fact, it is not that they rarely go out, but that they never go out at all. Of course, I don’t know if it’s all of them or just a portion of them. They seem to have been trapped in this place for generations and can’t get out at all. However, they must have thought of a way to get out of here. However, getting out seems to cost many lives.”

Huangfu Ruiling immediately thought of the key point. “We have what they want, right?”

Otherwise, they would not have let them stay in the village. The secret in the village was so big that the villagers definitely did not want any outsider to stay here unless they wanted something from the outsider.

“It’s me.” Ye Leng’an pointed at the tip of her nose and said, “I’m their target.

Perhaps, to be precise, it should be my life!”

Huangfu Ruiling’s expression didn’t change, but there was a coldness in the depths of his eyes. He spoke in an icy tone, “Humph, they’re quite bold!”

Ye Leng’an felt a chill down her spine, and she couldn’t help but shiver.

However, she seemed to have thought of something and said excitedly, “I have good news! It is still unknown whether there are Baizhe Woods and Yuanyang Flowers in this village, but it is very likely that there is the Golden Gu King in this village.”

“The Golden Gu King?” Huangfu Ruiling frowned. “Is there any difference between this and the Gu King?”

“There’s a big difference!” Ye Leng’an’s eyes lit up. “The Golden Gu King is much more powerful than the Gu Kings. Most importantly, the Golden Gu King is ownerless. Gu Kings will usually listen to whoever raises them. To raise a Gu King, the owner of the Gu King will usually feed it with his or her own blood in the later stages. When a Gu worm finally becomes a Gu King, it will remember its owner’s aura and listen to its owner’s words. However, if a Gu King is not well-controlled, it will bite back at its owner. Also, there could be many Gu Kings. But the Golden Gu King is different. In this world, there is only one. It could be said that all the Gu worms and Gu Kings combined are not as powerful as the Golden Gu King. Most importantly, the Golden Gu King doesn’t recognize its master just depending on where the blood it drinks is from. The Golden Gu King doesn’t understand humans. If anyone forces it to acknowledge he or her as its master, it may be provoked to the point of mutual destruction.”

Looking at Ye Leng’an’s bright eyes, Huangfu Ruiling said, “You seem to be very interested in the Golden Gu King.”

“Of course!” Ye Leng’an felt that she had nothing to hide. “I believe that every doctor will be interested in this. I wonder where the Golden Gu King is hiding.

Even if we can’t get it, it won’t be bad to take a look.”

However, she was certain that if the Golden Gu King was really in the village, the people here would not show it to her. One had to know that almost all the people who raised Gu worms regarded the Golden Gu King as a god. How could they show it to an outsider like her?

“Let’s not talk about the Golden Gu King,” Huangfu Ruiling said. “You just said that their target is you. What do you mean?”

“Actually, I’m not sure either. They were too secretive when they spoke.” Ye Leng’an shook her head. “However, one thing is for sure. They want to keep us here forever. I’m their target, but they won’t let go of you either.”

There was only one way to make one stay here forever, and that was to leave his or her life here.

“If they have the ability, they can try.” Huangfu Ruiling’s tone was cold with a trace of disdain. “The truth will tell them what wishful thinking is.”

“I feel that they should be making a move soon,” Ye Leng’an guessed. “They are not sure how many days we will stay. Once we leave, they are afraid that they will not have the chance. I think, if possible, they probably don’t want to have a

direct confrontation with us.’

“If that’s the case, then let them do it as soon as possible so that we can know their purpose.” Huangfu Ruiling looked at Ye Leng’an and said lightly, “Speaking of this place, there’s not much fun here. So, we’re about to leave, aren’t we?”

Ye Leng’an understood and nodded with a smile. “That’s true. Such a small village, and we’ve finished touring it in a day. Therefore, it’s time for us to bid farewell to the tribe leader.”

At dinner time, Li San said goodbye on behalf of Huangfu Ruling, indicating that they planned to leave the village tomorrow.

Hearing that they were about to leave, the smile on Duo Ji’s face immediately stiffened, but then he immediately returned to normal and began to persuade them to stay. “Actually, you don’t have to leave in such a hurry. There are still many places with good scenery here. Why don’t I find someone to take you around tomorrow and let me be a good host!”

“No need.” Ye Leng’an shook her head with a smile and refused, “I’ve already finished strolling around the village today. It’s time to leave.. We still have to go to the next place!”
