Chapter 474: Why Do I Feel Like I’m Being Watched?_1
"Stop!"
Garrett Howell frowned and halted Josie Howell, speaking sternly, "No matter the reason, we are all in the same boat now and should pull together. We haven’t even started exploring and if we start fighting amongst ourselves and both parties get hurt, wouldn’t that just give our opponents something to laugh about?"
After a pause, Garrett Howell stared at Josie Howell and said, "It’s uncertain whether the object that prolongs life even exists. Is it worth fighting over?"
"Let’s move on!"
Carson Flores set out with a calm expression. Everything in the Underground City was unknown, and under these circumstances, sticking together was clearly the best strategy for the time being.
Before the Howell Family did anything excessive, Carson would adhere to the agreement proposed by Garrett Howell earlier. After all, Carson had been recommended by Jaiden Howell, and he did not want to cause him any trouble by having a conflict with the Howell family’s team.
After traveling a distance through the wilderness, they arrived at a small village. The group of five entered cautiously, looking around in surprise.
The houses were made of green bricks and tiles, and some were mud walls with thatched roofs. The architectural style was not much different from what the explorers were familiar with, except that some unique figures were visible in certain fine details of the buildings. Upon closer inspection, they seemed to be carvings of fierce beasts, but the group could not identify what kind they were.
Ruben Howell surveyed the houses around him: "It seems that even in The Unknown Land there is a gap between the rich and the poor. Some people have houses of green bricks and big courtyards, while others have mud and thatch huts. This village is not much different from the ones we usually see, except it has a bit more of an ancient flair and lacks modern elements like steel, concrete, and glass."
