Apocalyptic life from scratch

Chapter 671 Fox God Sacrifice
"Yes, go here, go here..."

The two attendants were frightened out of their wits at this moment, and hurriedly supported Leo who was on the ground and stumbled towards the village.

It wasn't until the three of them walked away that the old man turned his head, cupped his hands to Kong Zhe and said, "Don't worry, elder, the village has its own rules, and they definitely don't dare to escape. This time, we will lock him up for ten and a half days first." Let's talk about it. Oh, I don't know if you are satisfied with this?"

Kong Zhe nodded. As the envoy of the temple, Leo must be able to contact the temple. Since he had seen what happened today, Kong Zhe wanted to kill him.But if you think about it, there are actually other troubles in doing so.

Once Leo dies, his soul card will be shattered, and the temple will notice it instead.It would be better to lock him up like now, anyway, Kong Zhe won't stay here for long, and leave after finishing his business, even if he is released later, there is no need to be afraid.

"Three adults, I didn't know that you were the elders of the temple before. I have lost my way, and I hope you will forgive me."

The old man bowed to Kong Zhe, and said: "Looking at the appearance of the three, it should be the first time to come to Fox Village. Let me introduce the old man again. Next are the village head of Fox Village, Gu Yingtian, and A nickname is 'Old Smoker'..."

"Oh? Are you a smoker?"

Kong Zhe's eyes lit up.When he lowered his head, he noticed that there was still an iconic bong hanging on the old man's waist.

"Yes, it's right here. Why, Elder Elder, have you heard of this name before?"

The old man was a little surprised. Although his nickname was well-known among animal people, it was unknown to humans. Most people from the city that never sleeps disdain to communicate with animal people.

"That's great, I want to ask you something."

Kong Zhe didn't expect Lao Yanqiang to be the village head of Fox Village, so it would save them from looking for him again.

"Oh, sir."

"A few days ago, a human girl appeared in Cat Village, and she had a dispute with the locals. I heard that you were there, right?"

"Humanity?"

"Yes……"

"Look, Grandpa, this is the man."

Kong Zhe nodded, and Lily hurriedly raised the portrait she had just drawn.

"Oh, this girl..."

The old man was still a little confused at first, but when he saw the picture, he immediately remembered what happened that day. He stroked his beard, nodded and said, "Indeed, I have seen this girl before. Why? Could it be that she has something to do with the elders? "

"Yes……"

Kong Zhe nodded, but didn't say much, but turned his head and looked around.

There was a lot of movement in the conflict just now, and there are still many onlookers around at this time.Seeing Kong Zhe's expression, the old man understood immediately, coughed around, and shouted: "What are you still doing in a daze, they're all gone, gone!"

Under the order of the village chief, many people left slowly although they were reluctant.Of course, because this is a market, there are still people coming and going around.

The village chief saw that Kong Zhe had something to say, and he didn't want others to hear him, so he raised his hand forward and said with a smile: "The elders are newcomers, and they probably don't have a place to live yet. If you don't mind, please come with me. Let's talk as we go."

Kong Zhe nodded.A group of people set off and quickly left the market. The village head led the crowd towards a deserted path.

"That, that..."

When they left, Kong Zhe heard the little fox whispering to him.

"how?"

"You, is what you just said true?"

The little fox was full of hesitation, put his hand around his mouth, and asked carefully in a low voice: "Are you... are you really from the temple?"

"Well... who knows..."

Kong Zhe touched his chin and smiled inscrutablely.

"If I say yes, will it affect you? By the way, speaking of it, you seemed to hate the Temple of the Sun before, and you also know a lot of secrets. You say, if I want to report these to the Temple, What will happen?"

"what!"

The little fox froze in place as if struck by lightning, with expressions of fear, horror, and despair flashing across his face, and finally turned into full of grievances.

At the beginning, I heard them say that they were all human beings who entered here by mistake, so I told them so many things. Could it be that what they said was all lies?

The little fox looked at Kong Zhe with tears in his eyes, his face was so wonderful, he looked like a little animal who had been deceived by humans and never believed in humans again.

"Ha, I lied to you. Don't worry, we are certainly not from the Sun Temple. On the contrary, the Sun Temple is still our enemy."

Kong Zhe was amused by the little fox's expression, and hurriedly explained.This time he used magic sound transmission, and the voice rang directly in the little fox's mind, but the little fox was in shock right now and didn't notice it at all.

"Really, really?"

The little fox sniffed and hesitated, "But, but what you have..."

"The sun sign? Of course it's fake..."

Kong Zhe stretched out the back of his hand in front of the little fox, and sure enough there was no pattern on the back of his hand.

"Don't worry, I just didn't want to conflict with you just now, so I used some tricks."

"Is that so..."

The little fox grabbed Kong Zhe's hand, and after repeatedly confirming that there was no pattern on it, he let out a long sigh of relief.

"Also, please keep this matter a secret before we leave, even if you don't tell the village chief or your relatives, otherwise it will be very troublesome, can you do it?"

"Oh, I, I know."

The little fox hastily patted his chest, and promised firmly: "With the honor of the fox clan, I promise not to say anything!"

"It doesn't have to be so formal..."

Kong Zhe smiled, he was quite at ease with the little foxes, he was just a simple child at first glance, he had no intentions at all, and he should do it before he really wanted to harm them.

It wasn't until he got on the path and saw that there were no outsiders around, that Kong Zhe took two quick steps and caught up with the village chief who was leading the way.

"Master Gu, about the girl I asked about before, can you tell me more about the situation at that time?"

Kong Zhe asked anxiously, and then hurriedly added: "Oh, this girl is the target of our trip."

"Of course."

The old man nodded hastily, and recalled: "This incident caused quite a stir in the cat village at that time. The village head of the cat village and I are old friends. I happened to go to talk to him that day, so I happened to bump into that scene."

"Cat Village is relatively xenophobic, and has always been strict with humans, let alone awakened people. If there are awakened people in Cat Village, they will be killed on the spot. But the girl seems to have hid in Cat Village. After a long time, when we found her, she was hiding in a mine. She was thin and dirty. She hadn't eaten for a few days. I don't know how she survived. .but……"

The village chief said, shaking his head and sighing: "This human girl is a bit special, she should know how the enemy treats the awakened ones, so she has been hiding carefully before, but when she saw a homeless child suffering from a stubborn disease When she fainted to the ground, she immediately left the hiding place to rescue others. At that time, the child was already on the verge of death. The girl used her own magic to save her. As a result, it was immediately revealed that she was an awakened person. Almost surrounded by people."

Kong Zhe frowned and clenched his fist unconsciously.Thinking of Xiaolei's experience made him worry.

"and then?"

Kong Zhe took a breath, trying to calm down his voice.

It's just that the village head noticed Kong Zhe's mood swings for the first time.

He hesitated for a moment, did not answer immediately, but instead asked: "Master, Elder, can I ask a question first?"

"Oh? Please ask."

Kong Zhe nodded. At this moment, only the old man has the information on Xiaolei, so he should be more polite.

"Uh...it's not important, just...excuse me, is this human being an enemy of the temple? Then you are looking for this human being to..."

The old man smiled dryly and did not continue. Instead, he wiped his neck with one hand.

"of course not!"

Kong Zhe narrowed his eyes and unconsciously raised his voice.

"what!"

The old man was taken aback.I don't know if it was an illusion, but when he was wiping his neck just now, he suddenly felt a chill behind his back for no reason, as if the god of death had just passed by.

Kong Zhe also immediately came back to his senses, seeing the old man panicked instantly, he waved his hand apologetically: "Sorry... this girl is our target, but we are not going to kill her, on the contrary, this girl is very important to the temple, so We need to find her and bring her back safely."

"...Original, so it is like this... That's great..."

Hearing this, the old man patted his chest, finally heaving a sigh of relief.

"how?"

Kong Zhe was a little puzzled, what does 'great' mean?
"Oh, it's like this..."

The old man smiled apologetically and explained: "The girl was surrounded by people in the street that day. According to the rules of the cat village at that time, once the awakened person was found, she would be killed on the spot. However, the reason why this girl was exposed was to save the cat clan. , if you still want to kill the girl, it is morally unjustifiable. Many cat clans at the scene were also very hesitant at the time, and no one could do it. After an urgent discussion between the cat clan patriarch and I, we still decided to let her go. She was driven out of the village, and she was not killed."

The old man sighed, he was also there that day, and he was one of the people who made this decision.Making such a decision has actually violated the rules set with the Sun Temple.

So after driving the girl away, they immediately issued a gag order to the people present, strictly prohibiting the matter from spreading, because they were afraid that the temple would be held accountable if they found out.

Fortunately, the elder in front of him said that this girl cannot be killed, so what they did at that time was naturally not wrong.

"Wait, so she is no longer in the cat village?"

Ye Xuan frowned and asked.

"Yes!"

"Then do you know where she went?"

Kong Zhe suddenly had a bad feeling.

"This... I didn't pay much attention..."

After the old man finished speaking, seeing the way Kong Zhe frowned, he hurriedly added: "But I remember that she walked through the east gate at that time. If she hadn't changed direction, she should have walked along that road..."
