I got an S-level talent in the apocalypse, and I will lead Blue Star to rise

Chapter 220 Reward
Rand tells her story in a calm tone with few emotional fluctuations.

It was only when he talked about the death of the minotaur servant who raised him that he revealed a bit of sadness.

But when he heard Xiao Qichen's question, he couldn't help but shrink his body, as if he thought of some terrible past events.

This reaction is very strange.

If the war continues, this place will be dragged into the conflict again.

Rand, who was used to war, shouldn't have such a frightened expression.

After all, he had grown up seeing separations and deaths.

Even if these leaders died in front of him, he would at most feel regret rather than fear.

Unless, he saw a war that was completely different from the previous ones, more cruel and more terrifying.

Rand tacitly agreed with Xiao Qichen's guess, "Yes, the war was not over, and this place was dragged into the war again. In the end, only this village was left."

He didn't want to say more about the rest.

"I'm a little tired, you guys go back first."

Rand seemed to have not spoken so much in a long time, and his spirit became depressed.

He casually pulled the rope next to him, the bell outside rang, and Huahua quickly walked in.

"Master Priest, what's wrong with you? Are you tired?"

Huahua and Rand spent every day together and soon noticed his fatigue.

Rand smiled weakly. "I'm fine. I'm just a little tired. Please send the guests back. And tell your father to treat them well and do his best to meet their needs."

Xiao Qichen stood up and said, "Excuse me."

Ning Jun also stood up, nodded to Rand, and then walked out of the house.

Looking at the backs of the two people, Rand's young face became blurred for a moment.

"Can they do it?"

Xiao Qichen and Ning Jun, who had already walked far away, did not speak a word along the way.

Ning Jun couldn't wait to speak until Huahua sent them back to the straw hut and skipped away.

"That Rand, he's lying."

Along the way, Ning Jun reviewed the story he told in his mind and found loopholes.

"He said he was human and lived for 400 years, but minotaurs have a very short lifespan. This means he must have returned home with the grown minotaurs when he was in his thirties or forties. By that calculation, doesn't that mean he's been in this village for over three hundred years?"

This village is indeed very remote and not easy to detect.

But there are no protection measures here. How can it survive for so long in the horror of war?
Xiao Qichen also discovered this loophole, but he thought of the stinking ditch where they landed.

"The bodies there are already decomposed, but they could not possibly be people who died hundreds of years ago."

If you calculate based on the time, it will only be one or two months.

In Rand's story, the timeline is confusing and doesn't match the surrounding environment.

Besides, it is impossible to make mistakes in remembering things that happened hundreds of years ago and things that happened a few years ago.

He must be hiding something.

"If Rand really didn't lie, then the problem might be this area."

Ning Jun's imagination was sparked. "Perhaps, this is not the real world, but an illusion?"

She thought of the novels she had read before, "It's like a paradise. Rand and the Minotaur fled here, but they actually entered a special space where time stopped. That's why the sewer could exist for so long.

In Rand's eyes, he has lived for 400 years, but he looks very young. Perhaps it is because time flows at a different speed?"

Ning Yun's guess was indeed bold, but unfortunately, the progress of the task did not change at all.

This means she guessed wrong.

"What if they are already dead?" Xiao Qichen suddenly said.

already dead?

Ning Jun suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, "Yes, if they are all dead, it is normal to maintain the appearance they had before they died." The corpses in the stinking ditch and this village may all be their memories before they died.

"No, you just guessed that Rand was a survivor of the war. The mission has changed, which means you guessed correctly."

The survivors and the dead are two completely different answers.

Being stubborn becomes blocked at both ends, and nothing seems to go right.

"Perhaps, this is the real world, and the problem lies in the environment here?"

Ning Jun really couldn't figure it out.

"How about we go around the village? From what Rand said, it seems he's hiding a lot of things. Minotaur are said to be simple-minded, right? Let's go ask them."

Anyway, Rand said they were distinguished guests.

Then it makes sense for them to walk around the village and chat with people.

However, the task of speaking these words had to be given to Xiao Qichen.

"I should have known not to play dumb." I always feel that it would be better for me to ask him questions than to do it myself.

After all, many people will let down their guard around women.

Xiao Qichen also wanted to take a closer look at the village, perhaps he could find more clues.

Neither of them said anything as they walked out the door together.

At this time, most of the Tauren were working in the fields.

From a distance, the crops they grow actually look a bit like rice.

However, the food was not white, but blue, and did not look very appetizing.

In a village full of cow-headed people, Xiao Qichen and Ning Jun stood out.

No matter where the two of them went, they could feel that someone was watching them.

These minotaurs were not watching secretly, but watching openly. They were indeed a bit simple-minded.

Perhaps it's because they, like Rand, are human.

This group of minotaurs didn't dare to come up and chat.

Until they passed a large area in the center of the village and saw a group of children playing.

Among them was the child named Huahua.

She saw Ning Jun, left her friends behind and ran over, "Guest, why did you come out? Are you feeling stuffy in the room?"

Ning Jun nodded and gestured.

Xiao Qichen explained, "This is our first time in this village and we want to take a walk around."

Although he still looked cold, he was talking more.

The few children at the back gathered together and looked at Ning Jun and the others, not knowing what they were talking about.

Huahua said loudly, "The High Priest asked me to entertain you well. Let me show you around!"

Ning Jun thought for a while and took out a piece of fluffy grass, which Xiao Qichen had given her outside before.

When Huahua saw the fluffy grass, her eyes lit up, and the children behind her couldn't help but exclaim "Wow".

Ning Jun even heard the sound of Huahua swallowing saliva.

Seeing her like this, Ning Jun thought Huahua was quite cute and handed the fluffy grass to her.

"This is your reward," Xiao Qichen explained.

Huahua felt a little embarrassed to accept such a precious thing, but she couldn't bear to take her eyes off it.

Ning Jun simply took her hand and put the fluffy grass into her hand.

The fragrance of the velvet grass tempts Huahua.

"Thank you, brothers and sisters!" She carefully put away the fluffy grass. "I know the village best. I'll show you around!"
