Following Arthur, Jotaro immediately said in an excited tone.
“When will we eat it, Boss?”
Hearing that, Arthur immediately looked towards his partner with a blank expression. After a while, he said.
“It seems you were wrong about something, Joe.”
“Eh? What's wrong, Boss?”
“For materials with very high scarcity rate, of course I will not cook them easily unless it has a very large size. Unique and rare items should be cooked at the best of times.
This mushroom is very rare and not much, so I will save it.”
“We don't eat it?” jotaro asked with a regretful expression.
“We don't eat it. But because of your hard work in finding this mushroom, you deserve a reward.
You know that I've been hunting Ground Dragon, right? The creatures I hunted were already rare, not to mention the rarer type of mutated ones. Even so, the meat I get is very much.
At first I thought about keeping it. But I don't think it's gonna matter if we eat a little, do we? So ...”
Arthur grinned.
“Today's dinner menu is hotpot!”
Hearing Arthur's words, Jotaro also became even more excited. He really could not wait to eat the special dishes made by his boss!
***
Her night.
After being satisfied eating a hotpot together, the two of them finally decided to continue the journey. They really feel very comfortable. Their bodies are warm and full of energy.
“Is that really Ground Dragon meat, Boss?”
“Do you doubt me?”
“Not doubted you, Boss. Only, the meat was very soft. I really didn't expect that Ground Dragon's flesh turned out like that.”
“Imagine Ground Dragon it's crab, Joe.”
“Eh? Not a snake or a lizard?” jotaro was confused.
“I mean not in terms of appearance!” Arthur rolled his eyeballs. “That Dragon Groun has a very hard and strong shell on the outside. But the inside is so soft and soft. Really scrumptious.”
“So so!” jotaro said as if he had gained enlightenment.
Both continued to continue their role. They chose to walk because they felt less rushed. After all, according to the information, the location they were headed to was not that far away. Maybe they can reach the location in the morning.
Yes ... they think like that, but eventually arrived earlier than scheduled.
At about half-time three, they arrived at a place not so far from the village that they were aiming for. In front of them was a wooden bridge that was rather wide and long, but looked very old. Below it, there was a river with a calm flow. Clearly deep enough.
According to Arthur's guess, the ghost of the previous water may have come from the river. Looking into the distance, the young man's eyes narrowed. He felt strange because his vision was usually very good, but could not see at all to the village because there was a faint mist blocking his view.
The fog itself is definitely not natural. His usual sight should have been able to pierce through the natural fog. So the young man was convinced that the fog was unnatural.
“Are we going there directly, Boss?” ask Jotaro.
“We will check it during the day,” Arthur said while stroking his chin.
“Why not check it directly, Boss?”
In addition, we better find the nearest village. The reason why we came here is to look for information. So we can find information in the village and sort out what is useful. Only then came back here to ascertain which one was valid and not.
If it does not exceed the limit, we can leave it later.”
Arthur said in a relaxed tone. Jotaro who heard his opinion continued to nod. He did not understand any complicated matters at all, so decided to go along with what the division chairman said. Simple, but definitely not to blame if something goes wrong.
“Then, let's continue the journey.”
“Good, Boss!”
Walking away from the location, Arthur felt that the feeling of being stared at began to disappear.
While in front of the bridge, Arthur felt the danger of the strange village. Although he did not know how strong the evil spirit that was there was, but he was very sure that the creatures were more troublesome than Ground Dragon or the eel demon that he fought before.
After completely moving away from the place, Arthur felt that he had become more comfortable and calm. Walking a few hours, he and Jotaro finally saw a village in the distance.
“There is a village, Boss!”
“Do not be noisy. I can see it too.” Arthur rolled his eyes.
“Mong-by the way, why don't I feel sleepy when I've been walking all night, boss? Could it be because of the Ground Dragon's flesh?”
“Yes. It should be due to the energy contained within the Ground Dragon.” flesh
Walking while conversing, they finally arrived in front of the village entrance. Unlike the village that was covered in fog earlier. There are many houses lit by lanterns or torches in this village. The place is cleaner too. Obviously, this is an inhabited village.
“Who?”
At that moment, several middle-aged men and patrolling youths seemed to be on alert as two silhouettes walked into the village from a distance.
Waking up all night taking turns between residents is common in places like this. In addition to preventing bandit attacks, they also guard against attacks by wild animals such as wolves that can endanger residents.
“We are cultivators who travel. If allowed, we would like to stop by and rest in the village for a moment.”
Jotaro said in a straightforward tone. Not to forget, he saluted the villagers before speaking. This obviously made them somewhat surprised to rarely see, or even to have never met a cultivator traveling through such a remote village.
“K-Then please follow us, Gentlemen.”
Seeing the change in expression on the faces of the people, Arthur could not help but sigh deeply. He felt that he was still underestimating how special the identity of the cultivators in this world was. Walking with Jotaro, the young man entered the village escorted by patrolling men.
They were immediately escorted to the village chief's house in accordance with the usual procedures. Up there, they instantly met the middle-aged man who still looked so fit. That person had a friendly and simple smile on his face.
“Halo, Gentlemen. It is nice to welcome you to our humble village. If you may know, do the gentlemen have a special reason for coming to our village?”
“We came to stop by because we were tired.”
“So so.” The middle-aged man nodded kindly.
“Mong-by the way, we previously passed another village that seemed to be abandoned. Though we want to stop by the village, but not so because it is uninhabited.”
Arthur took a long breath. Making a gesture as if really sorry for not being able to stop by and instead walk all the way here.
“Then I think the gentlemen are lucky. After all, there are usually no survivors if they stop by the village. The village that the gentlemen mean is definitely the Unnamed Village that is across the big river.”
Hearing Arthur's remark, the village chief was startled and countered with a serious expression on his face. It seems surprised to have seen the lucky person who survived the village.
Meanwhile, Arthur silently smiled. Seeing people start talking about the nameless village ...
Means people have been biting the bait!
