Chapter 2 The Guest in the Room
The newcomer was tall, wearing a coarse brown short shirt, with particularly striking muscle lines on the limbs exposed.
His dark face was etched with fine scars, indicating his rich experience moving in and out of the forest. His sharp hawk-like eyes were exceptionally striking, making a deep impression on others.
"Village chief, the sky over the back mountain has changed. The fiery red color is rapidly approaching from above, and the high temperature is spreading toward the village. Please activate the village's protective array to prevent any mishaps."
The newcomer was none other than Wang Mingyong, the captain of the village's hunting team.
A few days ago, in the sky over the back mountain, densely packed with dark clouds, there was a strange blend of red sunset and deep-sea blue, illuminating the mid-air, and faint rumblings were heard coming from deep within the back mountain.
To prevent any mishaps, the villagers decided to send the hunting team into the mountains to observe. If any anomalies approached, they would report back to the village immediately.
"The village's protective array?"
Lin Yuan, upon hearing this, felt a wave of curiosity.
In his memory, he had heard of the village's protective array, distributed by the Academy to help neutralize the aftermath of battles between high-level cultivators, to avoid harm to the innocent. If a powerful ferocious beast attacked, it could barely resist to some extent.
Of course, the village's protective array could only barely neutralize aftershocks. If a powerful cultivator attacked head-on, it would be as easy for them to break through as a person breaking a spider's web.
The elder village chief cast a glance at Wang Mingyong, who had burst in suddenly, his expression tightening as he adjusted the wooden box in his hands.
