Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
About half an hour later, they encountered a muscular blond, white man in a t-shirt, trousers, and deerskin boots.
This blond burly man was wearing a t-shirt that exposed his two thick arms, but he did not look cold at all. There was a longbow hanging on his back. When he saw Zhou Chen and the others from afar, he quickly walked over.
“Oh! Holy Spirit! The three of you refugees must be freezing! Co to my house and warm yourselves!”
This burly man seed to be very warm-hearted. As soon as he arrived near Zhou Chen and the others, he invited them to his house.
Zhou Chen and the others looked at each other, thinking that although we were not wearing cotton-padded jackets or branded clothes, we were better dressed than a native like you. Why did you call us refugees after just a glance? They could only credit this to the system.
Without much hesitation, the three of them left with the blond burly man.
“My friends, can you tell where you ca from?”
The blond burly man led the way and asked Zhou Chen’s group.
“We ca from the distant east.”
The refined young man imdiately replied with a smile.
“The East? No wonder… I heard that a brutal war is happening there.”
The blond nodded as if he felt that this was reasonable.
“Don’t worry. We’re all brothers and sisters in the North. As long as you don’t go against the Holy Spirit’s will, everything will be okay.”
Twenty minutes later, this blond burly man led Zhou Chen and the others across a small snow hill, through a pine forest, before arriving at a relatively flat area.
“Look! That’s where I live: Cedar Town!”
The blond muscular man led Zhou Chen and the others to a stone bridge and pointed at ancient European-style stone houses not far away.
Most of these stone houses were one-story houses, while a few were two to three stories. They looked simple and strong, and looked unique with the accumulated snow.
“This looks like about a hundred households. How can this be called a town?”
Zhou Chen silently observed and comnted inwardly.
Although the three of them looked calm, they slowed down and began to observe their surroundings. They were on guard against anything unexpected.
However, under their observation, they realized that this so-called Cedar Town looked very peaceful. There were won in thick fur clothes walking on the street that was not wide. There were also so children playing in the snow. Only a few adult n who were chatting at the entrance of their houses noticed the three of them and cast a few glances at them.
In short, this did not look like a bloodthirsty plot. It looked like a peaceful mountain village.
“Dave, you brought more refugees here?”
At this mont, a sharp-eared young man who was chopping firewood looked at the blond muscular man who was leading the three of them in and frowned.
“This is the Holy Spirit’s decree!”
The blond man called Dave imdiately looked at him seriously and walked past him with Zhou Chen and the others.
“What a fool… You will regret it soon.”
The sharp-eared young man’s voice ca from behind.
Dave ignored him. He quickly brought Zhou Chen and the others to a two-story stone building in the middle of the village and knocked on the wooden door.
“Darling! I’m back!”
His voice was very loud. Soon, soone opened the door. It was a young blonde girl who looked good but seed to be exhausted.
“Oh, Dave! You brought people back to eat for free again? What about the food?!”
The young woman only glanced outside the room and said to him sowhat unhappily.
“My dear, believe , this is the Holy Spirit’s will! I’ll go hunt sothing now!”
Dave looked at the three of them and said apologetically.
“This is my wife. She will take good care of you. See you later!”
After saying that, Dave bid farewell to Zhou Chen’s group.
Zhou Chen and the others looked at each other. They stood at the entrance of his house, feeling a little speechless.
“Co in, the three of you!”
Dave’s wife hesitated for a mont when she saw this. Then, she pulled open the door and welcod Zhou Chen and the others.
As soon as the three of them entered, she arranged for them to sit by a large fire in the room and placed three potatoes in the ash beside the fire.
“Each of you can have one potato. Be careful not to let it be snatched.”
She turned and left.
Zhou Chen ignored the potatoes and instead observed the others beside the fire.
Apart from the three of them, there were eight other people in simple clothes. Among them were an elderly man, an elderly woman, a middle-aged man, three young n, a young woman, and a young girl who looked to be six or seven years old.
Their clothes were not only simple but also slightly tattered, looking like they had escaped from a disaster.
“Did we enter a small refugee camp?”
After a short silence, the refined young man said to Zhou Chen and the tall girl in Dragon Country language.
“It looks like it…”
Zhou Chen nodded.
“But I feel that sothing is wrong. Everything is too smooth. I haven’t discovered any hidden danger.”
He was puzzled about this Survival mission. This was his first ti doing a mid bronze-ranked mission, but he felt that the difficulty was not as high as a low bronze mission. It was too simple and smooth.
“Hehe, don’t jump to conclusions so early. The show has yet to begin.”
The refined young man smiled and seed to be very calm.
“Big brother, can you share your potato with ?”
At this mont, the only girl among the eight who was huddled around the fire walked to the refined youth and asked him.
Because the system had given them the local language pack, Zhou Chen and the others could understand the natives. The refined young man imdiately looked at this girl in patched clothes. A smile appeared on his face and he replied in the local language.
“Alright, I’ll give you half when it is cooked.”
“Thank you, Big Brother!”
The little girl seed to be very happy after obtaining the promise. A smile appeared on her face.
“It might not be long before it turns dark outside. Let’s stay here tonight and check the surroundings tomorrow morning.”
Zhou Chen thought for a mont and said in Dragon Country language.
“Hmm… Fortunately, we were lucky to find this place. Otherwise, it would have been uncomfortable to spend the night outside.”
The refined young man nodded.
“I heard a strange sound.”
The tall girl, who had been silent, suddenly interrupted.
“Where?”
“What sound?”
Zhou Chen and the refined young man were instantly alert.
“From outside, and it is getting closer.”
