Outside of the fence, a group of boys and girls were sniffing the thick aroma of meat in the air, their mouths involuntarily producing droves of saliva.
They’d truly had enough of consuming burnt meat bits on their journey.
The texture of the meat was akin to chewing bark, but even that was overrating it slightly.
It was bitter and crunchy in a way that threatened to crack their teeth.
Over the past few days, not only the girls, but even several boys in the group had rapidly slimmed down.
Moreover, their senior brother, who was heavily inclined towards cooking food, was always bustling around before they could voice their hunger.
They did not have the heart to discourage his enthusiasm, so they resorted to secretly picking and eating wild fruits along the way to satiate their hunger.
“The guiding light beam disappeared here, could it be that this small village is actually our destination!”
Some of the boys wiped the drool from the corners of their mouths and regained their focus.
They looked at the strange black stone in their hands, then lifted their heads to gaze at the small mountain village ahead, shrouded in tendrils of cooking smoke, and were overcome with a sense of disbelief.
The small mountain village in front of them seemed incredibly ordinary, nestled within a quiet valley. Despite its serene tranquility, it was hard to link it with any supernatural phenomenon.
But they would not believe that the quaint appearance of the village matched its real nature.
After all, something had caused the guiding light beam to disappear upon arriving here.
This group of boys and girls had suspicions that this mountain village might be a hidden world family, a vestige from ancient times.
Indeed, such examples do exist in the Wilderness, with hidden world families often choosing to live in deep seclusion within the mountains. Although their populations are small, they consist of terrifying giants of strength and power, highly exaggerated.
Every individual from these hidden villages commands awe and respect, and according to rumors, a Noble even resides in one of these villages. Despite their unremarkable appearance, they are on par with any significant influential force.
“Everyone, come and see, there’s a stele over here!!!”
At this moment, a sudden exclamation rang out from nearby.
The group of youthful faces turned abruptly towards the sound and spotted a massive stele in a secluded area.
The stele was seven to eight meters in size and shone with a dark, smooth luster as though it was frequently polished. It looked very clean with little to no dust on it.
On the giant stone, one could clearly see two large characters carved with a sharp blade – Liu Village.
Looking from afar, it looked forceful yet ancient, and full of charisma,
“Liu Village …is this small mountain village actually known as Liu Village?!”
The group of boys and girls gazed at the stele, digesting the information. Their eyes widened, lips pressed together tightly, their faces churning with shock and astonishment.
These two words held a level of familiarity to them like a thunderclap, echoing in their ears. Even those who weren’t typically interested in gossips found themselves privy to some rumors about this mysterious village.
Without any exaggeration…
Liu Village was an epitome of a formidable and terrifying force.
Tucked deep within the mountains, secluded from the world, the village nonetheless held enough sway to shift the dynamics of the entire Wilderness Area.
When stirred into action, it was bound to shock the world.
Furthermore, Liu Village was the only place thus far where the existence of a Deity was confirmed by outsiders.
This represented the actual Ignition of the Divine Fire, the ascent to the ultimate Divine Position.
A single word could form the Order and Ordinance, descended upon the mortal world, demolishing heaven and earth, where saying equates to doing.
Many murmurs within the closed circles suggested that while the Heaven Mending Pavilion appeared to be the strongest force in the Wilderness Area, in reality, Liu Village was the most potent presence in the entire Wilderness Area. Even the Falling God Mountain, which was a relic from ancient times, was no match.
After all, one was suspected of having a Deity, while it was confirmed that the other did.
Especially since the latter was known for their dominant “paying a visit when there are disagreements” mindset. Not only were they fierce to a ridiculous degree, but they were also fiercely defensive.
Some of the boys and girls in the group had once ventured into the small world of the Hundred Broken Mountains and had personally witnessed the Sacrificial Spirit of Liu Village.
They had seen him command awe and respect.
He suppressed the King White Tiger in the Noble Realm with a mere wave of his hand. With a single command, none of the major forces dared to utter a sound. His formidable prowess intimidated the significant forces to the point of helplessness.
During the catastrophe at the Heaven Mending Pavilion, they had speculated more than once if the Sacrificial Spirit of Liu Village had made an appearance, then the Beast Kings of the Noble Realm would not dare to act recklessly.
“If this is indeed Liu Village, then we have not come here in vain!”
The group of boys couldn’t help but exhale a long breath of relief. They sat down on the grassland with a sense of liberation, instantly easing up.
Although the journey here wasn’t too long, it had required traversing over a kernel of impressive mountain peaks.
The vast Wilderness was filled with dangers lurking in every corner, almost countless horrors waiting to be sprung. Even some life-forbidden areas were quite easy to run into by accident.
It would be impossible for an ordinary person to cross the Wilderness; the countless dangers and savage beasts made the journey treacherous and stressful.
Thankfully, they had managed to arrive without incurring any major incident. Apart from a few wild creatures that crossed their path, they hadn’t encountered any severe ferocious beasts. With the combined efforts of their group, they succeeded in breaking through.
“It could be that the Divine Spirit of Liu Village was guiding us.. Even though they didn’t intervene during the catastrophe at the Heaven Mending Pavilion, perhaps they don’t have the heart to see us face disaster!”
