Chapter 227 Return and Renovation
Chapter 227 Return and Renovation
After successfully sealing the dark power in the ruins, Shen Mo and the others dragged their tired bodies out of the ruins. The sunlight shone on them, bringing them the long-lost warmth and peace of mind.
"This time I really had a narrow escape from death." Qingfeng said with emotion. His clothes were torn and his body had many wounds.
Lin Yuwei's face turned pale, and the light of the magic weapon dimmed a lot: "But it's finally over, and I can breathe a sigh of relief for the time being."
The female general looked at the tired faces of the people and said, "Let's find a place to rest first. Everyone needs a good rest."
Su Yao nodded: "yes, everyone has been too hard during this period."
They found an inn in a nearby town. The innkeeper was a little surprised to see their miserable state, but he still warmly entertained them.
"Dear guests, please sit down and have a cup of tea. The room will be ready soon," said the boss.
Shen Mo and the others sat down and drank several cups of tea in one breath before they felt a little more energetic.
After cleaning the room, they returned to their rooms, fell on the bed and fell asleep.
They slept for a whole day and night, and after waking up, everyone felt much better.
"It feels like I'm alive again." Su Yao stretched lazily.
Lin Yuwei walked to the window and looked at the street outside: "I don't know what will be waiting for us next."
Shen Mo came over: "No matter what, let's enjoy this moment of peace first."
During their time in the small town, they recovered from their injuries while helping the townspeople with things they could.
Qingfeng helped the blacksmith to make farm tools, and his skillful techniques amazed the blacksmith.
Lin Yuwei used her magic to treat the sick residents and was appreciated by everyone.
The female general and Shen Mo communicated with the elders in the town to learn about the local customs and possible potential threats.
Su Yao mingled with the children and told them stories of her adventures along the way.
However, the peaceful days did not last long. One day, a messenger came to the town.
"It's a letter for you." The innkeeper handed the letter to Shen Mo.
Shen Mo opened the letter and his face turned serious.
"What's wrong?" Lin Yuwei asked.
Shen Mo frowned and said, "This is news from a village we helped before. They said some strange phenomena have appeared there again, which may be related to the dark forces."
After hearing this, everyone's mood, which had just relaxed, became heavy again.
The female general said: "It seems that we can't stay here for long."
Qingfeng stood up and said, "Then let's get ready to go."
Although everyone has not fully recovered, their sense of mission made them decide to embark on the journey again without hesitation.
They said goodbye to the residents of the town, who gave them blessings and some food.
"Thank you for your help during this time, and I hope everything goes well for you," said the innkeeper.
Shen Mo and others left the town with everyone's blessings.
Along the way, they discussed possible scenarios.
"Maybe it's the remnants of dark forces at work." Lin Yuwei guessed.
Su Yao said worriedly, "I hope it's not too dangerous."
Shen Mo comforted: "No matter what, we will face it together."
After several days of traveling, they finally arrived at the village. The village was filled with a tense atmosphere, and the villagers saw them as if they had seen their saviors.
"You are here. There have been strange noises in the village recently, and dark shadows have appeared at night." said the village chief.
Shen Mo and others decided to investigate in the village first. They divided into several groups and looked around the village.
Qingfeng and the female general found some strange footprints in the woods around the village.
"These footprints don't look like those of humans." Qingfeng said.
Lin Yuwei and Su Yao found some damaged items in the villagers' homes, which seemed to have traces of dark forces.
Shen Mo found an ancient book in the village's ancestral hall, which recorded some information about dark sacrifices.
"It seems that things are more complicated than we thought." Shen Mo said.
They gathered together and shared their discoveries.
"No matter what it is, we have to solve it." The female general said firmly.
As night fell, the village was exceptionally quiet. Shen Mo and others stayed in every corner of the village, waiting for the strange phenomenon to appear again...
