When Granny Chicken stroked the girl's head in her hands, the chicken eyes on her forehead revealed sadness.
"I have a rather outrageous request.
If you are sure, I hope you can bring the village chief's "living head" back to me. In return, I am willing to give everything I have now, including my old bones. "
Looking at the head of the girl in the arms of Granny Chicken,
Yi Chen took a right step back, placed his left hand across his chest, and bowed slightly, "I will do my best... But before we go to the village, Granny Ji, you have to give me the information you know."
"Um."
I got a hand-drawn map of the area inside the tree wall from Granny Chicken, which included the specific distribution of villages and churches, as well as the villagers' daily patrol times and routes in the forest.
In another record of the church kept by Granny Ji, since there had never been any direct contact, she had no idea of the strength of the church members. She only knew that this group of people rarely appeared in the village, and even if they did, they were shrouded in church robes.
The most notable feature of the robe is the seal on the back, which was drawn by Granny Chicken in simple lines.
Ring type,
Inside, curled up is a baby.
The umbilical cord connected to the belly button surrounds the body, forming a circle.
It seems to have the meaning of reincarnation and rebirth.
"It's almost time. If you don't get back to the ground, my chicken coop might be exposed."
"Wait, one last question.
Granny Chicken, have you ever met the other two human teams? Have you ever cooperated with them? "
"Of course I have. My children always keep an eye out for outsiders who want to visit the village. But I have no contact with them for a simple reason.
Xiao Pei was almost unnoticed as she passed by them quickly, and even if they were spotted later, they would not be able to catch up with her.
This level of skill is not enough to fight against the already sick village, not to mention the mysterious church hiding behind it... Cooperating with them will only increase the risk of exposing me.
Until my child's death is avenged, my old bones must remain."
After saying this, Granny Chicken stood up from her seat.
Holding his 'granddaughter' in one hand, he opened the secret passage leading to the next room for Yi Chen with the other.
"After you meet up with your companions, Xiao Pei will open another secret passage leading to the ground for you."
Xiao Pei, the black chicken who had just regained her freedom, came to Yi Chen very reluctantly at the request of Grandma Chicken.
Before it could say anything, the familiar plant roots tied its chicken neck again.
But this time, Xiao Pei did not struggle. Although it was very hostile to outsiders, the young man in front of it at least saved its life from the hands of a madman.
Following the secret passage opened by Granny Chicken, we soon arrived at the other side of the underground area - the trap room.
As Granny Chicken said,
Some villagers who are searching nearby and may find a chicken coop will be attracted by the chickens and fall into the trap, and all of them will be trapped inside.
When the chicken and the man walked out of the secret passage, the black chicken Xiao Pei was immediately frightened and flapped its wings and hid behind Yi Chen.
The battle that took place here is long over.
In the middle of the trap room, there was a small pile of corpses about four meters high. Jin, wearing a floral suit, was sitting cross-legged on the top.
In his right hand he held a buzzing pig-head chainsaw.
His left hand fell on his mouth and he yawned.
"They are all some mentally retarded and incompetent accelerators. They have no coordination and rush forward to die. At first, it was a bit fun to use them to test new weapons, but later it became boring.
This village really loves to produce this kind of incompetent waste.
William, it seems that you have already negotiated, how is it going?"
"We have obtained enough intelligence to allow us to get to the truth behind it faster and get to know more interesting things."
Jin continued to ask: "Is it necessary to kill the guys who raise chickens here?"
Hearing these words, Xiao Pei got furious and trembled all over.
"Not for now. Granny Chicken will be helpful for our subsequent investigation of the truth, and will allow us to get in touch with more dangerous things in advance."
"I'll listen to you~"
Jin jumped lightly and landed beside Yi Chen. He squatted down and touched Xiao Pei, which scared it so much that it kept clucking.
"You...you guys follow me, cluck!"
Xiao Pei led the two of them and ran at the fastest speed along a slightly upward secret passage.
It suppressed the fear in its body and wanted to get the two terrible humans out of here as soon as possible.
When we pushed away the huge rock blocking the ground exit, we returned to the woods where we first found Xiao Pei, and the stone path leading to the village was not far away.
It was as if the two disappeared for more than ten minutes and were back on track exploring the village.
Now that they were back on the ground, Xiao Pei had no intention of continuing to lead the way, and uttered human words from his chicken mouth again:
"Just another six or seven hundred meters and we'll reach Shebolt Village, cluck!"
Yi Chen did not force it. He immediately untied the vine around its neck, squatted down and touched the comb.
"Well! Let's meet again after we kill the village chief."
“The whole village has changed and we haven’t been inside for a long time.
The village chief... is dangerous, and the guys in the church are also dangerous. I have occasionally seen people in the church, and they can fly.
They are totally different from the villagers you dealt with before.
Be careful, haha!"
Xiao Pei became more and more frightened as he spoke, and immediately flapped his chicken wings and slipped back into the secret passage. He looked like a chicken, but he was able to move the boulder with his claws and seal the entrance.
Just then,
Jin's mood changed drastically. She turned around and hugged Yi Chen's neck. The mask was so close to him that he could even faintly hear her breathing.
"I didn't expect these chickens to be so interesting. This is the first time I've seen such a diseased animal that doesn't actively attack humans. Maybe I can catch one and take it home as a pet.
Fortunately, William, you stopped me at that time. ... Were you a little scared before?"
"It's okay. I understand."
Jin tilted his head slightly, "Understand? If I change my mind now and turn your head into a bomb... will you understand me too?"
Yi Chen replied expressionlessly: "If you really need to make my head into a bomb to kill the powerful enemies here, I can completely understand.
When the time comes, please send the rest of my body back to Yinston Cemetery, so it can be considered as returning home."
Jin seemed to take it seriously when he heard this.
"Really? Then we have a deal!
If we are in danger and the flesh I carry is consumed, I will cut off your head and use it as the "final bomb". After all, your brain is where the emblem is engraved, and it has also swallowed up the cerebrospinal fluid of so many patients!
The bomb made with it can definitely bloom into a real red lotus!
Come on, make a pinky promise with me!"
When Jin raised his little finger, Yi Chen hooked it without hesitation.
When the agreement is reached,
She slightly pulled open the mask with one hand, revealing her familiar pink lips, and tiptoed to kiss the side of her face.
This sudden sneak attack made Yi Chen take a step back and keep some distance.
The reason is simple.
The moment their lips touched was more dangerous than any previous contact... It was as if some kind of timed-explosion substance was being poured into his head.
"Don't be scared, it won't blow your head off now~ This is just a reward for you."
As he spoke, Jin took a step forward, put his lips to Yi Chen's ear, and whispered.
"I'll tell you something in secret! You're the only man who accepted my lip kiss and didn't get blown up. So, does this count as a first kiss?"
Yi Chen didn't want to respond and pointed to the road ahead leading to the village.
"Let's go, we've already wasted a lot of time."
"Boring~"
