The abandoned cannon fodder girl's path to immortality

Chapter 143: Uninhabited Ancient Village
"It really is!" Jiang Daoyu also saw the vaguely visible building, but the distance was still a bit far, so he couldn't see it clearly.

"Master might have been here a hundred years ago!" This thought suddenly came to Chen Jinshu's mind.

Recalling the strange fungi planted in her master's courtyard and the bronze chimes in her hand that could guide her here, everything told her that her master had been there before.

She also got some unexpected good things here, which allowed her to make rapid progress within a period of time.

"Junior sister!" Du Yi called her twice, and only then did she wake up from her daze.

"Let's walk slowly. First, observe if there are any special situations. If we encounter the illusion cave from last time, we will be in trouble!"

Jiang Daoyu is still frightened. After all, it took him four or five days to recover from that trip to the grotto, and he really doesn't want to face it again.

A moment later, a defeated ancient village appeared in front of the two.

The stilt houses in the ancient village are scattered like stars on the hillside.

The stilt-style building has been coated with silver-gray by the years, and is now rotten and nearly half collapsed.

Fungi and moss coexist among the thatched roofs. The brown caps of the fungi peek out from the gaps between the tiles, emitting a faint white fluorescence.

The rest of the fungi growing in various crevices emitted a variety of colors, more than what they had seen within the range of the miasma.

The materials used to build the houses were all the spiritual woods they had just encountered in the dense forest. However, these buildings had lost their spiritual energy over time, but the patterns on them could still be seen.

The entire village is located next to a huge emerald waterfall. The waterfall cascades down from a high stone cliff, like an emerald silk ribbon, which is very beautiful.

A large amount of fine stream water splashes into the village, giving it a unique green fluorescence.

"Now we have a place to stay. But I don't know if these fungi will attack us." Jiang Daoyu's eyes swept across the large number of thatched houses in front.

"There should have been people living here before, but I don't know what happened. Everyone in the village disappeared."

"We'd better not separate too far!" Du Yi squatted down, checked a green fluorescent fungus at his feet and said.

Upon hearing this, Chen Jinshu held the bronze chimes in his hand, not knowing what to do.

The thing pulled by the bronze chimes must be very important to the master. She didn't know whether it would affect the master's next plan after her two senior brothers knew about it.

"Okay! Let's choose a nearby cabin when we rest." She pretended to think and nodded.

"It's still early, let's explore the surrounding area first." Jiang Daoyu didn't know why he was full of energy at this moment and wanted to show off in front of his two junior brothers and sisters.

The two knew in their hearts that he just wanted to avenge the miserable state of the cave last time.

The two nodded and followed him towards the village.

Along the way, the three of them kept looking at the houses in the village.

It was discovered that there were obvious signs of life in front of these houses, with bowls, pans, and other items all included, and some houses even had chicken and pig pens.

Chickens, ducks and other animals are raised below the stilt houses, while people live above.

However, as they walked along, they did not see any trace of people in the houses, as if the entire village had disappeared at the same time.

There were many bowls and pots that fell on the ground. They seemed to be frightened by the sudden crisis and were taken away before they could react.

Soon they came to a tower. The tower was made entirely of wood, without any iron. The structure of the roof was complex, with various wooden strips interlaced.

There are a lot of cloth strips tied inside the tower, which have lost their original colors due to time.

The three of them walked for a quarter of an hour, but they found nothing special, not even a clue. Apart from the fungus in the corner of the building, they didn't see anything else.

"This village is so strange. Apart from the spiritual fungus buildings, there are only some bowls and pans. There are no words or even patterns."

“The traces of the original life are still well preserved!”

"Maybe something special will happen at night. Why don't we wait until night to see what happens?"

"Brother, have you forgotten? There is no distinction between day and night in the cave, the only difference is the temperature." Chen Jinshu immediately reminded him.

"I actually forgot. So there really is no clue at all!" Du Yi said bitterly.

After much difficulty, we found a remote ancient village, but we didn't find anything valuable inside. There was no trace of any spiritual objects or medicines. It was just an abandoned village.

"I think that waterfall may be the key!" Chen Jinshu said, looking at a huge waterfall cascading down opposite.

The direction indicated by the bronze chimes in her hand was exactly that waterfall.

This village might have been left behind by the human race that lived in some caves, but they all disappeared for some unknown reason.

"Junior sister, why are you so confident?" Jiang Daoyu asked softly.

"I can't go into details. I can only tell you. I want you to assist me."

She thought about it for a long time. In the face of the huge unknown, she couldn't even guarantee her own safety, so how could she help her master get what he wanted?
And since the master asked her to form a team, it means that this matter can be known to others.

However, Chen Jinshu knew that the less people knew about the information, the less likely it would be known, so he did not state it directly.

I can only lead the two brothers to find the key location.

"I believe that Junior Sister will not lie to us. In that case, let's go and explore this waterfall." Du Yi said with a calm smile.

"That's right! I was too nosy! This waterfall is the most special in this village. If something goes wrong, it's most likely to be this waterfall."

Jiang Daoyu laughed and said quickly.

"Alright! Brothers, let's discuss this after we get to the waterfall."

Then the three of them walked along the path of the village towards the emerald waterfall.

In just a moment, they arrived in front of the waterfall.

But they couldn't get any closer.

There are still many fungi growing beside the river left by the waterfall.

This spiritual fungus is not ordinary. The smell it emits is completely different from those growing from the cracks in the village. It emits a faint smell of danger.

"These spiritual fungi have been affected by some unknown factor, but they have mutated and have acquired aggressiveness that the fungi in the village don't have!" Du Yi said with a gloomy expression.

"It must be the river. The emerald color looks vibrant, but it can actually cause spiritual fungi to mutate. This means the source is not simple!"

As Chen Jinshu spoke, he looked towards the source of the highest waterfall, which was the direction the bronze chimes wanted to fly.

Perhaps what Master wants to find is hidden there.

In order to prevent the bronze chimes from reacting with that thing, Chen Jinshu put it away.

At the same time, let the Yinshan tit fly into the air to see what the scenery is like on the high mountain rock wall where the waterfall flows.
