This scumbag is cheating

Chapter 174 Exploring the Secrets of the Ancient Village
"It's very simple, and I got a side mission easily." Lu Xiaochuan said, his eyes looked in the direction of the octopus couple intentionally or unconsciously: "I should have known, I shouldn't have taken off my clothes!"

"Why do I feel that you were infected by Sha Ailuo?" Matcha rubbed her face and complained.

Sha Ailuo pouted, "Hey, hey, what does this have to do with me..."

"None of you men is a good thing." Li Huamei said dissatisfiedly with her arms crossed.

A black line appeared on Matcha's forehead, "How did you come to such a conclusion?"

Li Huamei walked towards the off-road vehicle, couldn't bear it, and murmured: "Let's see if the octopus couple are dead. Wang Jingjing is still pregnant..."

The four checked and found that the octopus couple was not life-threatening, but passed out.

When everyone was thinking about Sha Ailuo's plan, they saw a few plainly dressed villagers walking towards them with bamboo baskets on their backs.

Soon, a man in rough sackcloth came before them with several middle-aged men and women.

The leading man looked about five or sixty years old, his hair was already gray, and he was a little hunchbacked.

After seeing the four living people of Lu Xiaochuan, a trace of imperceptible disappointment flashed in the eyes of the old man, but he immediately put it away, "Guess, is there a car accident?"

"Yes. Old man, how far is it from Paradise Village?" Matcha replied.

"I'm the village chief of Paradise Village. How are you? Are you not injured?" While the old village chief was speaking, his gaze fell on Li Huameizhi involuntarily.

Matcha frowned, stood in front of Li Huamei, and pulled the old village head back from his thoughts: "We are fine, but the two people in the car... they seem to be from your village..."

"Huh?" The village head was puzzled, came to the side of the car, took a look, and shouted: "It's Yuzi, come on, hurry up!"

All the villagers hurriedly lifted the octopus couple out of the car.

"Village chief, we are lost travelers, and we happened to meet Brother Squid on the way..." Matcha briefly explained the situation to the village chief, and politely said, "So, can you let us go to the village to stay overnight."

"No problem, there is still room for people to live in our village." The village head agreed without hesitation.

"It's really troublesome for you." Matcha replied very politely, indicating that the group of people followed the villagers, and then winked at the teammates. The behavior of the villagers was vague.

After walking for a long time, after passing through several winding muddy trails, an ancient and primitive village appeared in their field of vision.

"Come with me first, and stay at my house tonight..." the village head said with a smile, "The conditions here are not like those in your city. I'm sorry, I'm sorry."

The four of Lu Xiaochuan were silent, just observing the surrounding environment silently.

The moment they stepped into the village, the system's notification sounded: [The current mission has been completed, and the main mission has been updated].

Lu Xiaochuan opened the menu bar, and the original [Enter Paradise Village] has been ticked, and a new task appears below: [Explore the secrets of Paradise Village].

"Secret?" Lu Xiaochuan thought excitedly in his heart: "There is some kind of ulterior motive hidden, the cannibal village? Or is it the cursed village where the thousand-year-old zombies are sealed..."

In just a moment, all kinds of strange things flashed through Lu Xiaochuan's mind.

They followed behind the village chief, stumbling in the village.

The village was quiet in the evening, as if only their footsteps and breathing could be heard.

The earth houses made of mud and stone blocks are scattered here and there, and a narrow alley occasionally flashes out between the two mud walls.

Lu Xiaochuan and the others walked along the alley, and soon they reached the end of the alley.

Along the way, the hearts of Matcha and the others were hanging.

The update of the mainline mission made them a little nervous. Unknown dangers are the most terrifying.

In case, this is really a cannibal village... Isn't the village chief the BOSS...

On the mud wall at the end of the alley, there is a small stone window, and the inside of the window is pitch black.

When passing by, Lu Xiaochuan clearly heard the sound similar to the dragging of iron chains on the ground.

"There is a situation." The four of them looked at each other, and the meaning in their eyes was self-evident.

The village chief seemed to have noticed their strangeness, and explained: "We mountain people, every household has dogs..."

"Oh, so that's the case..." Everyone replied calmly.

As soon as the words fell, they crossed the alley.

In front of me are several collapsed courtyards, with luxuriant weeds, isolated remnants of walls, and rotten door panels lying crookedly on the ground...

Wang Wang Wang --

A group of vicious dogs, big and small, with twenty or thirty heads, rushed out of the courtyard when they saw the figure, bared their teeth at them, and roared loudly.

"Go back! Go back!" The village chief picked up a stone from the ground, and shouted angrily with a hoarse voice.

Immediately, with a wrinkled smile, he warned: "This is the scent of a stranger. Don't come out to wander around at night. If you are bitten by a dog, it will be broken..."

"Understood, understood." Matcha replied politely.

Pear Blossom Girl was terrified a long time ago, she shrank behind Matcha, and nodded obediently.

Sha Ailuo's expression was calm, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

Lu Xiaochuan frowned slightly, and thought to himself: Why are these dogs just kept in this place? It feels like they are specially for guarding something.

What is in that house, everything can only be investigated at night.

The village chief led them to a simple house, "I think you must be exhausted, so you should take a good rest first. If there is anything wrong, ask Aqin for help."

While talking, the village chief yelled at another room, and then a kind old woman came out from another room.

"I still want to see the fish roe... I'll go first." The village chief said, he paused, gave the old woman a few words, and left.

"Mother-in-law, go ahead. Let's rest first." After the village chief left, Matcha said to the old woman with a pleasant face.

"Then, call me if you have anything to do."

Compared with the village chief, the old woman's attitude seemed a little indifferent. Before turning around and leaving, she took a deep look at Lihua sister paper, and then sighed softly.

After closing the door, Matcha checked the room, and after making sure no one was eavesdropping, she sat by the bed and said with a sense of relief, "We can finally take a breather."

"That room is definitely the key to the mission." Sha Ailuo continued.
