Quickly, led by Sang Yang, Ye Feng and Xiao Xiao swiftly completed their check-in at the Green God Inn. Despite being called an inn, it was a multi-story wooden building, the tallest in Green God Town. After paying two plump little bread rolls, Ye Feng secured a room on the top floor.
...
On the first floor of the Green God Inn, in a hidden room, "Young Master Jun, I didn't expect you to target those two first!" "Don't worry, those two have been under my surveillance!" The plump Sang Yang looked obsequiously at Xie Zijun. "En!" Xie Zijun nodded, showing no gratitude to Sang Yang, his father's confidant, taking it as his due. "By the way, have you seen A Chai and A Ya?" "I sent them to follow those two explorers earlier, but now I can't find any trace of them!" Xie Zijun paused before speaking. "The Chai and Ya brothers? Haven't seen them!" Xie Zijun shook his head. "When I saw these two, I didn't see A Chai and A Ya!" "How strange!"
...
In the top-floor room of the Green God Inn, "Big Brother, what are you looking for?" Xiao Xiao, seeing Ye Feng enter the room, went to the window and kept observing with binoculars, her voice filled with curiosity. "Oh, I'm looking for traces of goblins, and also designing an escape route~" Ye Feng replied while observing. Earlier, on the first floor of the Green God Inn, two waiters had rushed over and bumped into his backpack. Although it seemed accidental, they were actually testing Ye Feng, seeing if his backpack contained any weapons... "Escape route?" Xiao Xiao was a little surprised. "Huh, what's going on?" Suddenly, Ye Feng's attention was drawn to a scene not far away. He saw the middle-aged woman who had rushed out earlier and told Xiao Xiao to run quickly, now secretly heading in a certain direction under the arrangement of a middle-aged man. Both the man and woman looked very flustered, and after walking a short distance, they would hide in corners and observe their surroundings. They were clearly guarding against something! "Xiao Xiao, let's go take a look~" Ye Feng put down the binoculars and said to Xiao Xiao. "Oh, okay~" Xiao Xiao, who was browsing the [Trade Channel], immediately closed her light screen and walked towards the door. "Xiao Xiao, not that way, we'll go out from here!" With that, Ye Feng took out the grappling hook launcher (rope gun) he had bought from the [Shop] a few days ago, aimed it at a large tree next to the inn, and fired. The anchor of the rope gun, along with the rope, wrapped around the tree trunk for a few turns and then firmly hooked on. Seeing this, Xiao Xiao immediately understood, turned the sign on the door to the "Do Not Disturb!" side, and walked towards Ye Feng. Ye Feng had Xiao Xiao hold onto him, and he climbed over using the rope from the rope gun. Soon, the two of them left the inn via the large tree.
...
"Big Brother, it's so late, where are those two going?" "They seem to be walking in the direction we entered the town~" Ye Feng and Xiao Xiao had been following the middle-aged couple for some time, and the path was getting more and more secluded. Xiao Xiao couldn't help but ask curiously. "Cui Fen, Er Zhu Zi, where are you two going so late at night?" Before Ye Feng could answer, an old man's voice rang out. It was Old Man Li, whom Ye Feng had seen before. He was walking from the direction the middle-aged couple was heading, his expression somewhat dejected. "Old Village Chief, we..." "Old Village Chief, I want to send Cui Fen..." The middle-aged man called Er Zhu Zi hesitated to speak, his expression bitter. "Alas!" Old Li sighed. "Er Zhu Zi, take Cui Fen back~" "I've looked at that area, and although there are no goblins, there are desert marching ants. You won't be able to get out!" Old Li looked deeply at the middle-aged couple and said. "Old Village Chief, how can you..." Er Zhu Zi looked at the white-haired elder with some consternation. "Let alone you, including myself, most people in this Green God Town are secretly thinking of escaping this hell!" "In the evening, I saw two explorers coming from that direction, and I thought it was a desert marching ant migration, so I went to check." "But the result was disappointing, there was still a large group of desert marching ants..." "And it's almost dark. You should know how dangerous the outside world is after dark!" As he spoke, Old Li looked towards the direction where he had previously met Ye Feng and Xiao Xiao, and sighed again. "Being gnawed to death by desert marching ants is at least better than being raised like livestock by those goblins!" "My Nannan, my Nannan... those demons..." At this moment, the middle-aged woman Cui Fen gritted her teeth and said. "Cui Fen, I know..." "But what was the fate of those who tried to escape before and were caught..." Before Old Li could finish speaking, Cui Fen's face turned as white as paper, and her body trembled uncontrollably. "Old Village Chief, Cui Fen couldn't control herself today and ran out to remind a little girl to escape!" "At that time, in the center of the town district, I was afraid that that scumbag Xie Zijun would use this as an excuse... Cui Fen insisted on not leaving, and most likely would have been chosen as a sacrifice tonight..." "Guaka~" Suddenly, a strange and unpleasant sound rang out. "Oh no, it's a goblin scout!" "We've been discovered!"
...
Hearing this sound, Old Li, Er Zhu Zi, and Cui Fen's faces all changed drastically. This was because two small goblins had appeared beside them, one on the left and one on the right. "You guys run quickly, I'll help you..." Old Li's words were cut short halfway. This was because two bright white lights suddenly flashed, directly stabbing at the two goblin scouts. "Ugh~ Ugh!" After emitting strange syllables, the two goblin scouts fell to the ground, having been shot in the throat by two bright white darts. The two goblin scouts clutched their throats, struggled for a while, and then died... "Who... Who?" Er Zhu Zi looked around warily, only to see a young man walking out with a little girl who looked about eight or nine years old. The one who had just killed the two goblin scouts was Ye Feng! He hadn't discarded the outer casing of the exquisite steel treasure chest he had obtained earlier, but had used his Tang knife to shave it into many small throwing knives. After all, the material of the exquisite steel treasure chest was white steel, which had high hardness. After sharpening them, they were very suitable for use as hidden weapons! "It's you?" Old Li naturally recognized Ye Feng. "Old Village Chief, you know him?" "You know someone who dares to kill goblins?" Er Zhu Zi looked at Old Li, then at Ye Feng, his face full of shock. "This... they are the two explorers I met in the evening~" Old Li thought for a moment and replied. "Hey, Old Li, didn't you tell me not to mention the word 'goblin' earlier?" "You guys seemed to be saying it quite smoothly just now~" Ye Feng retrieved the two throwing knives from the goblin corpses and said. "This... Explorer Sir..." Old Li looked embarrassed. "Tell me, what exactly is going on in your Green God Town?" "Why do you worship such things as goblins? Are you truly willing?" Ye Feng asked three consecutive questions. "Guaka!~..." Suddenly, a goblin cry with a strong echo came from the center of the town, far away. "Bad, it's the signal for the ritual to begin!" Old Li, Er Zhu Zi, Cui Fen, and others heard this and their faces all changed drastically. "Hey, what's going on? What ritual?"
