Chapter 342 Mountain Village and Demigod

Going straight along the rugged mountain road, Rhodes came to a village.

The village looked very desolate and dilapidated, and there was a strange atmosphere around it. Rhodes walked into the village without thinking too much.

After he entered the village, the surrounding scene changed rapidly.

The dilapidated village has taken on a new look, and the surrounding ruins have become simple but neat houses.

The desolate mountains outside the village became alive with lush trees. Rhodes stood at the gate of the village and could still hear the chirping of birds from time to time.

"Who are you?" A girl at the entrance of the village stared at Rhodes and asked curiously.

The girl is not particularly beautiful, but she is full of youthful vitality, which makes people feel relaxed.

A basket was slung over her shoulder, and the basket contained mushrooms still stained with dew, as if they had just been picked from the mountains.

Rhodes was a little surprised by this situation. The people around him were just illusions, the same as the images he saw after destroying all the abyss consciousness aggregates in that castle.

Several other villagers at the entrance of the village also stared at Rhodes curiously.

"I'm a passing adventurer." Rhodes replied.

The girl's eyes widened, and she looked at Rhodes in disbelief. "Adventurers look like you? I heard from grandpa that adventurers should look like uncle blacksmiths. You are so skinny that you can't even beat a wild boar."

Rhodes saw the girl's reaction and even suspected that he was actually in the real world. The derivatives of the consciousness world should not have such high intelligence. Their reaction to the outside world should be as mechanical and rigid as the two soldiers at the castle gate.

But the little internal force in the body told Rhodes that this is the world of consciousness, and the aura emanating from the girl did not seem to belong to humans who could break into the world of consciousness.

The aura of humans who can enter the conscious world will be extremely powerful, at least similar to that of Rhodes, and most of them are stronger than Rhodes.

"Why did you come to our village?" Seeing that Rhodes didn't speak, the girl continued to ask.

"I'm lost, I want to come in and ask for directions, and drink some water by the way..." Rhodes replied.

He wanted to use this to enter the village and see what secrets were hidden inside.

"How could I get lost in this kind of place? I can walk in the forest with my eyes closed..." the girl whispered, talking to herself in a voice she thought Rhodes couldn't hear.

Rhodes also cooperated with her and acted like he didn't hear it.

"Come with me, I don't know why there have been no outsiders in our village for a long time, I think my father and the others also want to know what happened outside through you." The girl pulled Rhodes into the village.

The villagers on both sides of the road looked at Rhodes, an outsider, curiously.

"Good morning, Uncle Martin! Good morning, Aunt Mary!..." The girl walked on the road and greeted the villagers she met.

"Who is this young man?" A middle-aged villager wearing a straw hat asked curiously.

"It's a lost adventurer." The girl replied.

Then she pulled Rhodes to continue walking, and finally stopped beside a house built by the stream.

"Here, this is my home, how do you feel?" The girl pointed to the red-walled and white-roofed house in front of her, and said with a little pride.

"What a beautiful house." Rhodes knew she wanted to hear that.

But this house is indeed very beautiful. Listening to the sound of the stream flowing, looking at the blue sky, the green grass and the stream splashing white water from time to time, it gives people a leisurely and cozy feeling, which makes Rhodes feel It seems to have come to the modern European countryside.

Although he had never been to Europe before crossing, he had only seen it in photos.

The girl smiled, "It's not too beautiful. I will make this house more beautiful in the future. I will plant flowers of various colors in front of the door, red, yellow, blue, and purple..."

"Big ones, small ones, round ones, flat ones?" Rhodes continued, but it didn't seem to be written that way.

"The shape doesn't matter, as long as the color looks good." The girl said as she pushed open the white wooden door in front of her.

"I'm back! In addition to picking mushrooms, I also brought back a guest!" The girl shouted loudly.

"Guest?" A middle-aged man's voice came from the house, and he should be the girl's father.

The girl gestured to Rhodes, signaling him to come over quickly.

Rhodes followed the girl into the wooden house. In the wooden house sat a middle-aged man with neatly combed hair and beard. He was sitting by the window reading a book on the table.

"I'm an adventurer who happened to pass by here. I came into the village to ask for directions, and to replenish drinking water and dry food by the way." Rhodes said after entering the wooden house.

"Father, didn't you say you wanted to know the situation outside last time? I'll bring him back." The girl said with a smile.

Rhodes felt that this middle-aged man should be the key to the secrets of this village. The aura exuding from him was different from all the others. No matter how real or how natural and normal the other people were, compared with him, they were all illusory. a feeling of.

Moreover, this middle-aged man exuded a half-god aura. He seemed to be trying his best to conceal this aura, but Rhodes still noticed it.

"Fula, take the money and go out and buy a rabbit from the hunter in the village. I want to treat this guest well." The middle-aged man stood up and handed the wallet on the bookshelf to the girl.

The girl turned around and left without thinking too much. After walking outside the door, she turned her head and said, "Don't worry about talking, wait until I come back. I also want to know what it's like outside."

The middle-aged man nodded lovingly, and after seeing Fulla go away, he stretched out his hand and closed the door.

Staring at Rhodes with a serious face, "Who the hell are you?"

Rhodes saw that the surrounding scenes had changed, from the original cozy hut to a dark cave.

Countless magic circles lit up on the walls of the cave, and the dark cave was illuminated very brightly by the light from the magic circles.

"I really happened to pass by." Rhodes replied with some helplessness.

"Do you think I'll believe what you said? I've hidden everything so deep that you still happen to pass by here." The middle-aged man stared at Rhodes with a sneer.

"You think I'm going to kill you? But I really happened to pass by, and I don't even know who you are." Rhodes replied.

"Stop acting anymore, Cleaner." The middle-aged man's body lit up with the same light as the magic circle around him, as if he was about to make a move.

"I'm not a cleanser, I just came into contact with their people some time ago, and helped a cleanser get out of bondage." Rhodes shook his head, "You are obviously a human being, and you don't have the aura of evil gods on you, why are you afraid? Cleaner?"
