Chapter 2469

Jia Tu and Huangtu were taken away just like that, leaving behind three dumbfounded people.

[]

The three of them didn't chase after him because they felt that he was the ancestor of their family.

After that, the three of them looked back at Zi Chen with a pleading look in their eyes.

"Maybe I was wrong. This isn't an illusion. It seems to be a test." Zi Chen thought seriously and said in a deep voice.

"Test? What test?" Jia Tu and Ming Tu asked.

"I'm not sure.

Let's wait and see. "

The things here were indeed beyond his expectations.

At this moment, Zi Chen's mind was recalling the other party's attack just now. Maybe the three of them couldn't sense anything and felt that their strength was just sealed, so their combat strength was greatly reduced.

But Zi Chen, who had learned close combat, knew very well that the brawny man just used physical combat techniques, and his use of power was very clever.

Even if the two sides fought with energy, they would still have no power to resist.

"What exactly is this place?" Zi Chen's heart was filled with curiosity towards this area.

After waiting for about a quarter of an hour, they finally saw figures in their line of sight.

It was three people, three old men.

The three saints from the Jia Tu family were stunned when they saw the three old men, and they looked at each other in disbelief.

"You know each other?" Zi Chen asked.

The three nodded, looking very excited. Jia Tu and Ming Tu said directly, "One of them is a direct ancestor of my bloodline."

"How could this be?" Zi Chen was stunned when he heard this.

The three people quickly walked over. They were wearing very simple clothes, and one of them was even patched.

After coming in front of the four people, the three people of the Jia Tu family quickly bowed.

Zi Chen didn't know the situation, and just stood there and watched, not saying a word.

The three old men didn't look at Zi Chen, but looked at the three people up and down. Their expressions were like looking at cattle waiting to be traded, and the three people looked away when their hair stood on end.

"Just nice, one for each of us. Who's going to pick first?" The old man with patched robes who didn't seem to be leading a good life spoke first.

"Pick whatever you want. Just make sure you don't die," the second old man said.

The third person nodded. Then, they casually chose the person closest to them and said, "Let's go!"

From the beginning to the end, the three old men did not even look at Zi Chen, completely ignoring him.

As the three of them left, they kept looking back at Zi Chen with every step they took. It was obvious that they were still very nervous.

"What are you looking at? You don't even know if you can live past tomorrow, and you still have the time to care about others?" One of the old men said indifferently.

Hearing the other party's words, it proved that the other party could see Zi Chen and had indeed ignored him.

Those words also contained an extremely deep meaning. They would not be able to live past tomorrow.

Could it be that there was some hidden danger here?

Speaking of which, in such a place where one's strength was completely sealed, once he encountered danger, it would definitely be fatal.

However, as a newcomer, Zi Chen had no idea what he should do at this moment.

Wait?

It seemed like that was the only way.

However, the village in front of him was like the same. There were only houses and no people. If he continued to wait here, what could he wait for?

Look around?

Zi Chen immediately dispelled this idea.

Other than these dilapidated houses, he couldn't see anything else. As for entering those houses, it was obviously even more impossible.

It seemed like he could only wait.

Soon, two hours had passed. The sun was gradually setting, and Zi Chen felt a chill in his heart for no reason.

The four people who had left earlier could no longer be seen. Even the house that Zi Chen could see Jia Tu and Huang Tu walking into no longer emitted the sound of hammering iron.

Seeing that the sky was about to darken, and still seeing no one else, Zi Chen was a little flustered.

Just as he was hesitating in his heart about whether to look around, he saw an old man walk in from outside the village.

The robe on his body had many patches, and his face was old and full of wrinkles.

His back was slightly hunched, and he carried a pickaxe on his back. He was dragging his tired body step by step, walking into the distance.

The other party didn't notice Zi Chen and walked in another direction.

The feeling he gave Zi Chen was that this was a lonely old man with no children from a poor family, living a very poor and hard life.

Although he kept reminding himself that this was the depths of the Star Path, and it was impossible for such a situation to occur.

However, everything in front of him was so real.

Those tired eyes, that hunched back, the wrinkles on his face, they were all so clearly visible.

After walking into the village and another hundred meters, the old man seemed to have noticed something and turned his head to look this way.

He saw Zi Chen, and Zi Chen was sizing up the first person who had appeared after a long time. The two looked at each other, and Zi Chen saw a pair of turbid and tired eyes.

The other party was like a real mortal old man, without the slightest trace of an expert.

"Hey!"

The other party saw Zi Chen and sized him up a few times. He let out a cry of surprise and then walked over.

The other party held the pickaxe with one hand and put the other hand on his waist, where a gourd was tied with a rope.

It was unknown whether the gourd was wine or water. The other party opened the stopper and raised the gourd with his calloused hand. He took a sip and then smacked his lips in satisfaction.

Looking at the other party's expression, Zi Chen guessed that it should be wine.

At the same time, he guessed that this was an old man who knew how to enjoy hardship.

He didn't speak and quietly looked at the other party. The other party was very unfamiliar, and he had never seen him before. His soul was suppressed, and he couldn't perceive the other party's aura.

The old man came in front of Zi Chen and sized him up. Then, he looked at the sky and said, "What a pitiful little guy. Are you willing to follow me?"

Zi Chen didn't hesitate and immediately nodded. It seemed that this was his only choice.

According to the words of the old man from the Jiatu family, there seemed to be some kind of danger here. This kind of danger couldn't be encountered during the day, so perhaps it would appear at night.

"Let's go." The old man turned around and walked towards the distance with his tired body.

Zi Chen walked behind him. Looking at the old man's appearance, he couldn't help but say, "Old mister, do you want me to help you carry this thing?"

"No need. It's going to be dark soon. We have to speed up." The old man said without turning his head, but his speed wasn't very fast. This made Zi Chen even more puzzled.

During this time, Zi Chen passed by a house and found that the doors were all closed. Occasionally, he could hear sounds coming from those houses. It could be seen that there were people inside.

The old man's residence was relatively at the back. It was a wooden house, and it was very dilapidated.

Looking at the old man's clothes, Zi Chen could also guess that the other party's life wasn't very satisfactory. It was normal for him to have this kind of residence that could only block the wind and not the rain.

After entering the room, the old man put down the pickaxe against the wall. Zi Chen followed him in. Not surprisingly, he didn't see any decent furniture.

"It's dark. Hurry up and close the door!" The old man said again. This was the second sentence he said to Zi Chen.

Zi Chen nodded his head and was about to close the door behind him.

However, when his hand landed on the door, the expression on his face changed.

It was as if the door in front of him wasn't a wooden one, but an iron one. It was incomparably heavy.

However, even if it was an iron door, Zi Chen, who had a Saint-level physical body, should be able to easily move it.

Even if it was a mountain, Zi Chen could still move it.

However, no matter how hard he tried, the wooden door didn't move at all.

"How can this be?"

Zi Chen could feel that his energy was sealed. However, his Saint-level physical body was still there. The strength he used was tens of thousands of times stronger than a mortal's. Yet, he still couldn't move the wooden door at all.

It wasn't until he exerted force with both hands that the wooden door trembled slightly. Then, it moved slowly.

Every time it moved, Zi Chen had to expend a lot of energy.

At this moment, the old man was standing behind Zi Chen. As he watched Zi Chen close the door with all his might, a glimmer of light seemed to flash in his muddy and tired eyes.

After the door was closed, Zi Chen was so tired that he almost collapsed. He leaned against the wooden door and slowly sat down. He was constantly panting and sweating profusely.

Just closing a door was more tiring than fighting a Sage Ruler.

The room was pitch-black. Only the sound of Zi Chen's rapid breathing could be heard.

After that, an oil lamp emitted a dim light. At least there was some light in the room, but the light was too weak.

Zi Chen's hand flashed and he took out a luminous pearl. The pearl emitted a bright light and illuminated the entire room.

It had to be said that a luminous pearl in such a dilapidated room was out of place.

The old man glanced at the luminous pearl and didn't say anything.

"Old man, what's going on?" Zi Chen asked curiously as he placed the luminous pearl on the wooden table.

"I'll go cook first. I'm tired from the day. Eat first." After the old man finished speaking, he walked into a side room. That seemed to be the kitchen.

"Old man, I have some food here. There's no need to cook."

As he spoke, Zi Chen took out some good food. These were all from the interspatial ring.

However, he quickly noticed a problem. His soul perception had been blocked. Logically speaking, he shouldn't be able to take anything out.

However, he was able to take it out. Moreover, it was very easy.

However, when Zi Chen tried to put the things back, he realized that he couldn't put them back.

In other words, after the things arrived in this world, they couldn't go back.

If they couldn't go back, so be it. Zi Chen didn't feel bad. It was just some food and a luminous pearl. It wasn't a big deal to leave them here.

Moreover, the old man had taken him in.

"If you want to eat, eat it yourself."

The old man walked into the kitchen. After a while, he came out with two bowls of something that looked like porridge. Moreover, it was slightly black. At first glance, it didn't look appetizing at all.

Zi Chen politely declined. He took out the food from before and gave it to the old man. However, the old man rejected it.

After that, Zi Chen ate his own food. All kinds of lights shone, and all kinds of spirit energy fluctuations. It was simply a delicacy.

As for the old man, he finished the two bowls of black porridge. Then, he drank a mouthful of wine from the gourd. He seemed to be very satisfied.

After cleaning up the bowls and chopsticks, he didn't care about Zi Chen's mess. He threw a tattered set of clothes to Zi Chen and said, "I'm sleepy today. If you want to know anything, I'll tell you tomorrow.

This place is small. You can sleep on the floor. "

After that, the old man went back to his room to sleep.

Under normal circumstances, Zi Chen wouldn't feel sleepy even if he didn't sleep for decades or centuries. However, he suddenly felt very sleepy. He took out a comfortable blanket from his spirit ring and slept on the floor.

That night, he faintly heard the wind.

The next day, when Zi Chen woke up, he was stunned!
