Chapter 220 - The Strange Creature In Hoke Village

Apparently, the girl believed his nonsense.

Then, the two continued to chat.

Flanders happened to have nothing to do, so he kept chatting with Joanna to relieve his boredom.

After an unknown amount of time, Flanders stopped. He stared at a place not far away, and a smile slowly appeared on his face.

It was a small village.

From the looks of it, it was called Hoke Village.

"I'll hang up first."

Flanders said to the phone, then hung up the phone and walked toward the small village.

...

Hoke village was not densely populated. There were only a few dozen households.

Moreover, this place was a little remote. Under normal circumstances, very few people would pass by here.

Although it had only taken Flanders less than a day to get here from Coase City, do not forget that Flanders had his own Domain. He could use his Domain to travel, so how could he be so stupid as to walk on his feet.

Therefore, this place was very remote.

There should not be any big cities within a few kilometers of this place.

And after understanding it, it was indeed so.

Not to mention big cities, there were not even any other small villages.

So, within a few kilometers of this place, there were only a few dozen families.

It was because of this that this place was not very developed, so they could not walk far. Many people had not seen the people outside, so when Flanders walked into the village, he was actually warmly welcomed.

Flanders was also very surprised.

The people here were really too enthusiastic, so enthusiastic that he was about to start getting excited.

One had to know that if Flanders got excited, nothing good would happen.

"Young man, you should sleep here first tonight."

"It's best not to go outside at night, especially recently. I don't know where a few fierce beasts came from. If you go out and are discovered by them, you might be finished."

The one who spoke to Flanders was the village chief of this small village.

The village chief's face was wrinkled. He looked to be in his eighties or nineties, but when he walked, he was very steady.

"Mm."

"No problem."

Flanders narrowed his eyes and smiled.

He looked like a gentle and refined young man now. When he smiled, he looked better.

When the village chief heard this, he also laughed.

"Ah, it's good that you're obedient."

"A few days ago, someone came, but he did not listen. He insisted on going out at night to take a look, and then he never came back."

There were a few people following the village chief.

These were all people from the village. When the village chief spoke, they also nodded.

"This is really too scary."

Flanders looked like he was frightened.

Seeing this, the village chief could not help but laugh.

"Hahahaha, actually, as long as you obediently stay in your room, nothing will happen."

"Mm... that young man. You must be tired after traveling for a whole day. You should rest well here."

After saying that, he left.

...

This was really interesting.

What kind of tricks would those villagers play?

Flanders was in his room with a smile on his face.

He was traveling with his Domain today. The reason why he stopped here was naturally not because he really wanted to rest.

Here, he felt a very interesting aura.

That was why he came here.

Flanders smiled and looked in one direction. That was the direction of that interesting aura. Coincidentally, when the village chief left, he also went in that direction.

However, that village chief was indeed just an ordinary person.

What should he do...

Flanders thought for a moment, and finally, a smile appeared on his face.

...

"Village chief, that child looks pretty good. The lord will definitely like him."

A person beside the village chief said.

After that person finished speaking, the others around him also echoed.

Although the village chief did not say anything and kept walking in front, his expression was actually very satisfied.

After so many days, there were finally people who came here again.

However, the village chief's expression did not last long before it became gloomy again.

"Sigh, although this isn't the way to go on."

"The people that the lord needs are becoming more and more frequent. I'm afraid that after a period of time, there won't be anyone to offer to that lord anymore. When that time comes, our situation will be dangerous."

The village chief said with a frown.

As soon as he finished speaking, the people around him also quieted down.

But soon, someone among them spoke again.

"Village chief, didn't you say that before?"

"There seems to be someone called Garros outside. He said that he can help us get rid of this lord..."

He was only halfway through speaking when he was interrupted by the village chief.

"That person is indeed very capable."

"I've seen it before. He actually shattered that small hill in the west with one punch. He's very powerful... although he promised to help us get rid of this lord, we have to dig out a ton of that strange creature silver stone for him first."

"You all know that that thing is too difficult to dig out."

"But after so many years of accumulation, we almost got it. We'll have it in another month or two."

The village chief spoke as he walked.

When they reached a small ravine, the few of them quieted down and did not dare to speak anymore.

They continued walking for a few minutes.

Finally, they saw a small snake.

"Have you found a living person?"

The small snake actually spoke in human language!

However, this was clearly not the first time the village chief and the others had seen this scene, so they did not show any surprised expressions.

The village chief nodded and said, "one came tonight. We are just waiting for you to go over, sir."

When the small snake heard this, it nodded and looked very satisfied.

"Let's go."

"Bring me over."

The small snake immediately prepared to follow the village chief out.

But at this moment...

The village chief suddenly stopped in his tracks. At first, his expression was very flustered, but in the end, he slowly calmed down.

As for the reason...

A figure that he had not expected appeared opposite him.

It was the young man who looked gentle and refined.

"Young man, didn't I tell you not to run around?" A smile appeared on the village chief's face, but he looked a little evil.

The few people behind him also had the same expression.

As for the little snake, he was staring at Flanders, his eyes filled with greed.

He liked this prey too much.

He could not wait to eat him up.

And what shocked them was that.

The young man opposite him did not have the slightest bit of fear, and he even had a smile on his face. However, that smile felt a little strange.

There was nothing he could do.

Flanders did not expect that he would encounter such a thing.

However, this did not make him feel bored. On the contrary, he felt that it was very interesting.

The small snake in front of him... had a faint strange creature smell on its body. However, the smell was not very strong. Its strength was too weak. It should only be around C rank.

With such strength, it dared to focus its attention on him.

How bold.

The smile on Flanders's face became even wider.

And for some reason, when the little snake and the others saw the smile on the young man's face, they actually felt a trace of fear.
