Chapter 221 Three Quarters
This village looks simple at first glance.

There is a wide little square in the middle where the children gather.

Then there are circles of houses surrounding the small square.

A little further away are the fields.

The whole village is not large, and you can see the backs of grown-up cattlemen working from the village.

To be honest, Ning Jun could only identify them by their clothes, but looking at their faces, they all seemed the same.

Huahua was a very conscientious tour guide. Without waiting for Xiao Qichen to ask, she automatically introduced the situation of the village.

"Our village is called Rongrongcao Village. This is where the adults discuss important matters."

She pointed to a very eye-catching stone house and said, "That is the residence of the High Priest. However, the High Priest is very tired today and needs to rest well."

What she focused on was the land in the village.

"This is our village's land. Usually, as soon as the sun rises, the adults go to work."

There are actually not many minotaurs working in the fields, only less than 30 people.

"Are all the adults in your village here?" Xiao Qichen asked.

Huahua didn't answer immediately. Instead, she stretched out her finger and pointed carefully. "Except Dad and Uncle Duanmu, they are all here."

There were both men and women working in the fields, almost all the adults in the village.

It can be seen how small this village is, with less than 20 households.

"What about your father?" Ning Jun asked her while gesturing.

Miraculously, Huahua actually understood it.

"Today it's my dad and Uncle Duanmu's turn to patrol!" Huahua raised her hands high and became very excited.

It seemed that patrolling had an extraordinary appeal to her.

"Is there any danger nearby?" Xiao Qichen asked.

Since they entered the dungeon, they have encountered almost no danger and have not seen any dangerous monsters.

And what exactly is this village guarding against?
When Huahua heard the question, her eyes became confused for a moment.

"Huahua hasn't seen it either, but Daddy said it's a very dangerous thing and we can't let it get close to it."

That monster, which had never been seen before, was a childhood shadow for almost all the children in the village.

Whenever a child disobeys, adults will say, "If you don't behave again, I'll throw you out to feed the monsters!"

After saying this, the children will be scared, dare not cry, and become well-behaved.

Ning Jun and Xiao Qichen looked at each other and found their next target.

This village is so big that you can see the end at a glance, and you can walk around it in no time.

To thank Huahua, Ning Yun picked a few strands of fluffy grass from the side and handed them to Huahua.

She made a gesture of dividing things, telling Huahua to share them with her friends.

Seeing her pick the delicious fluffy grass easily without getting burned by fire.

Huahua was extremely envious.

Only after she skipped away did Ning Jun realize that this place was actually some distance away from the village.

She squatted down and looked at the plants around her.

"My favorite food is growing all around me, but I can see it but can't eat it. This is so strange."

Is there something wrong with this fluffy grass, or has the physique of these minotaurs been changed?

Unfortunately, she knew nothing about this plant.

"How much do you know about this grass?" she asked Xiao Qichen.

But his answer was also disappointing, "I only know that minotaurs like to eat this."

If he knew more about velvet grass, he would probably be able to discover the problem.

Ning Yun looked at the velvety grass in front of her. It looked just like any other grass. She took out a small shovel, dug away the velvety grass, and began digging deep into the soil below.

There is a rare black soil here, which is fertile and very suitable for growing crops.

She took a handful of soil in her hand and examined it carefully.

Xiao Qichen also looked over, and seemed unremarkable.

Ning Jun was also a little uncertain, "Maybe there's something wrong with the soil?"

Xiao Qichen thought for a moment and said, "There's nothing wrong with the food they grow."

wrong.

Xiao Qichen suddenly turned around and stretched out his hand to compare.

“It seems that all the land in this village is within this circle.”

Only after Ning Jun reminded him did he realize that there was something strange about this village.

Logically speaking, villages and fields are often separated by a distance.

But the Tauren Village is very strange. The fields here are almost inside the village, and are some distance away from the dense jungle.

If you observe carefully, you will find that there is no trace of fluffy grass in their land.

Xiao Qichen found that he had been misled. The village was not located in the jungle, but was separated from the jungle by an invisible barrier, dividing it into two completely different areas.

This would explain why the minotaurs couldn't touch the velvet grass.

Ning Jun followed this line of thought and suddenly thought of something.

"We previously guessed that this village was in a different dimension, but we were wrong. But I suddenly thought of a possibility."

Xiao Qichen looked at her and blurted out four words, "Mirage."

"We thought the same thing!" Ning Jun's eyes sparkled. "Perhaps, this village itself is a mirage. The real village may have disappeared!"

This would explain a lot of things.

Fake people cannot touch the real thing, and some people simply burn the fluffy grass to cover up the truth.

The fluffy grass itself did not mutate; the real problem was with the village.

[Exploring the truth of Niutou Village, progress 75%/100%]

Sure enough, they guessed right!

Ning Jun's face lit up with a bright smile, "At this rate, we'll be able to complete the mission soon!"

However, there is only less than an hour left until the end of the copy.

"There's no doubt that Rand was the one who covered this up, but how did he do it?"

Ning Jun was very curious, "Could it be that he is a magician?"

It seems that in general Western fantasy novels, all races such as orcs, dwarves, and elves have humans who can use magic.

Xiao Qichen shook his head. "No, he can't. There is no magic in this game."

At least before he died in his previous life, he had never seen any player or NPC who could use magic.

"In that case, he must have used some props." Ning Jun quickly thought of the "monster" that Huahua mentioned.

Perhaps, it was not a monster at all, but the biggest secret of the entire village.

"Shall we go and take a look now?"

The truth was revealed when Huahua introduced the village to them just now. The monster the villagers were talking about was at the easternmost end of the village.

And they are now in the south, not far away actually.

Xiao Qichen nodded, "Okay, you don't have to pretend this time, the truth will be revealed soon."

Time was running out, so they immediately rushed to the east of the village.

But just in case, they did not go through the village, but went into the dense bushes and took a short detour.
