“What do you mean?” the village chief asked uncomfortably.
“I’ll see how it goes.” Jiang Ming pretended to chuckle. “If I’m willing, I’ll let you guys out.”
These words immediately caused a heated reaction.
The villagers hurriedly shouted, “Why? We have already told you where our precious treasure is. If we absorb the crystal, we will have endless power and will not be trapped by you. After you get it, hurry up and let us out!”
The villagers began to blame the village chief again.
“Chief, it’s all your fault for telling them the secret of the crystal so easily. Now that they have the crystal, they won’t respect you anymore, right? If you were a little stronger, we would have escaped long ago.”
Yuan Hehe made a funny face. “Then you’re really pitiful, huh? Then stay here.
Don’t come out!”
As he said that, he burst into laughter.
He felt very happy now. These villagers were full of resentment, but who asked them to bring this upon themselves?
If they had a conscience, they would not have ended up like this.
The village chief could not help but feel aggrieved.
He was clearly thinking about this for the sake of the entire village. Why did the villagers say that about him?
Previously, the village was still united. What was going on now?
“I’ve already told you, what else can I do?” he said, pretending to be amiable.
“Is this the time to be resentful? We’re in the same boat now.”
“In the same boat?” A villager laughed. “What’s the situation now? We can’t get out. We’re going to die anyway. It doesn’t matter if we unite. Can we still live?”
Sikong Wuyuan could not help but laugh when he saw the internal strife among these people.
These people were very weak. It seemed that this village would be destroyed sooner or later, but it had nothing to do with him.
Thinking of this, he followed Jiang Ming and Yuan Hehe and walked forward. They arrived at the center of the village.
However, this was obviously a wasteland. There was no crystal like the village chief had mentioned.
Yuan Hehe suspected that they had been deceived by the village chief and looked at Jiang Ming.
“Jiu Zhu, what the village chief said should be fake, right? I don’t see this crystal at all, nor do I feel any traces of it. Let’s not be fooled.”
Jiang Ming shook his head instead. “Let’s not talk about anything else. Their internal strife is very real. I don’t feel that they are lying at all. Let’s look carefully.”
Yuan Hehe looked at the empty ground in confusion. He squatted down and knocked on the ground with his hand.
“What should we do? I don’t think it’s easy to dig the ground here. It’s harder than ordinary ground. I’m afraid there’s really something hidden inside.” He instantly became spirited.
“If we have the kind of crystal they’re talking about, wouldn’t our spiritual energy increase?”
Sikong Wuyuan didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. “I think the crystal should be given to these villagers by that divine beast. That divine beast sounds very greedy. How could it give these villagers such a useful crystal?” “The most important thing now is to take a look at the crystal inside.” Yuan Hehe started to get impatient.
Regardless of whether they had a crystal or not, these things were their motivation.
Thinking of this, he clenched his hands and pondered, “Jiu Zhu, you should have a way to take this crystal out, right? We can’t let this crystal fail to play its role.’
“It’s hard to say. This crystal isn’t easy to get.”
Jiang Ming squatted down and knocked on the ground, frowning.
He could feel that something seemed to be sealing the ground, but it was definitely not the crystal. It was probably something protecting the crystal.
From the looks of it, they might even lose their lives, let alone take the crystal. There’s no point in getting the crystal.”
At this moment, some strange people suddenly appeared in the surroundings. These people had cold expressions. They were clad in black cloaks.
“What’s wrong? Are you here to steal the crystal? Or are you here to stop us from taking the crystal?”
Jiang Ming saw it.
He knew that the divine beast would definitely send people over.
The men in black did not move at all.
They fell down one by one.
Jiang Ming and the other two were shocked and retreated.
“Why are these people acting like this? We didn’t do anything to them. What do they want?” Yuan Hehe asked in disbelief.
Sikong Wuyuan could not help but laugh.
“This is too funny. This is really ridiculous. However, what we can confirm is that these people must have been sent by the divine beast. But why did his people all fall?”
“They are not humans. They are straw puppets.”
Jiang Ming saw it at a glance and even wanted to approach the men in black.
However, the moment he approached the men in black, they suddenly stood up as if they were alive. However, their actions were odd.
Some of them even leaned forward 90 degrees, and their bodies began to change shape and grow longer. It was not something that normal people could do.
Jiang Ming, on the other hand, was very calm. He sized up the men in black
and said, “It seems that they are straw puppets with tenacity. I wonder what kind of power the divine beast added.”
At this moment, their voices rang out from the surroundings.
“The divine beast asked us to play with you. You guys stay here and have fun with us.’
As they spoke, a four m sided barrier began to appear around them, and the surroundings changed.
It was the inn from before again.
Seeing the familiar scene, Jiang Ming was not afraid at all. Instead, he smiled.
“What a pity. This move is useless against us. You guys should just stay there.” As he spoke, he snapped his fingers.
The surrounding scene automatically changed to normal, and the men could not help but be shocked.
Immediately after, these men in black rushed over.
Jiang Ming watched calmly. Countless thin threads and silver needles were placed beside him. The silver needles were hung on the thin threads and pierced the fatal parts of the men in black.
In an instant, all the men in black fell to the ground.
Sikong Wuyuan and Yuan Hehe had wanted to attack, but they realized that there was no place for them to do so. Then, they realized that the expressions of these men in black had become hateful. They were smiling foolishly, and they could not help but feel terrified.
Before they could think about anything, the men in black suddenly changed shape. This time, they were no longer humans, but the animals they had encountered before..
