Elf, I am really a farmer

Chapter 329 Exploration and Departure

After Wen Qi dealt with the matters of Zhang Long and the other two, he went to meet Zhou Zhiwen and the others.

Wen Qi thought to himself that if Zhou Zhiwen was alone, he would not bother to go out of his way to greet him, but Zhou Zhiwen brought a colleague with him, so he had to give him some face.

He walked quickly, his mind racing, thinking about how to respond to Zhou Zhiwen's possible inquiries later, while also thinking about how to cleverly conceal anything related to the mysterious battle.

Soon, Wen Qi saw Zhou Zhiwen and a young man.

As soon as Zhou Zhiwen saw Wen Qi, a smile appeared on his face and he waved to greet him.

Wen Qi also responded with a smile, but there was a subtle hint of vigilance in his eyes.

"Wenqi, long time no see." Zhou Zhiwen said.

"Yes, Captain Zhou, long time no see. Who is this?" Wen Qi looked at the young man next to Zhou Zhiwen with a hint of inquiry in his eyes.

Zhou Zhiwen introduced, "This is my colleague Xiao Li. We are on a mission nearby today and we just happened to be passing by, so we came to see you."

Wen Qi nodded and said to Xiao Li: "Welcome to my farm, Xiao Li."

Xiao Li said a little stiffly: "Thank you, Mr. Wen."

Wen Qi looked at Zhou Zhiwen and asked casually, "What mission are you guys on? Why are you here?"

Zhou Zhiwen hesitated for a moment and said, "We are investigating an explosion nearby. Did you hear anything?"

Wen Qi's heart tightened, but his face remained calm, and he replied calmly: "I also heard a loud noise, but I don't know the details. This place is close to the forest, so it's not surprising to hear some strange noises occasionally."

As he spoke, he watched Zhou Zhiwen's expression change.

Zhou Zhiwen then asked: "Did you see anything unusual?"

Wen Qi frowned slightly, pretending to be thinking, and shook his head after a moment, saying: "No, my farm is usually very quiet, and I haven't noticed anything unusual. If there is anything unusual, I will definitely notice it at the first time. After all, in this place close to the forest, I have to stay vigilant at all times."

He cleverly turned the topic to the issue of farm safety in an attempt to divert Zhou Zhiwen's attention.

Zhou Zhiwen didn't seem to want to give up easily, and asked again: "Your farm is in such a dangerous place, don't you usually have any troubles?"

Wen Qi smiled and said, "Fortunately, I have my own way of dealing with it. Besides, the environment here is good, suitable for growing some fruit trees."

He deliberately blurred the subject, not wanting Zhou Zhiwen to pay too much attention to the situation on the farm.

The three of them walked towards the farm while talking.

Wen Qi was always alert and considered every word carefully, for fear of revealing any flaws.

Zhou Zhiwen was constantly observing his surroundings, trying to find clues.

Xiao Li listened to their conversation silently, his heart full of curiosity, and at the same time he also felt Wen Qi's mystery and caution.

Wen Qi knew very well that it was not that he didn't want to tell Zhou Zhiwen about the battle, but there were other people around Zhou Zhiwen.

If I tell Zhou Zhiwen now, that colleague will definitely know about it, and then we will be in big trouble.

It’s better to say nothing. Keeping silent is the safest option.

Wen Qi thought to himself that if Zhou Zhiwen came to ask him alone later, given their relationship, even if he couldn't tell him everything, he could still give him some hints.

For example, you can tell the other party that this matter is troublesome and ask him not to worry about it.

After all, Zhou Zhiwen is his good friend, and since the situation is so dangerous, it is only right for him to persuade him to stay away.

Thinking of this, Wen Qi's face was filled with a warm smile and he began to entertain Zhou Zhiwen and Xiao Li.

Although Zhou Zhiwen had many questions to ask, especially about the situation of the mysterious battle, whenever he mentioned this topic, Wen Qi was either vague or said that he didn't know.

Zhou Zhiwen's speculation became stronger and stronger. He felt that this matter was probably related to Wen Qi.

But Xiao Li is here today, so I guess Wen Qi won’t reveal anything even if I ask him now.

Zhou Zhiwen sighed helplessly and decided not to ask any more questions.

Although Xiao Li wanted to ask, he knew that he would not get any results after seeing Wen Qi's attitude.

Just like that, after Wen Qi warmly entertained the two of them, Zhou Zhiwen and the others said goodbye.

After Zhou Zhiwen and Xiao Li left the farm, Zhou Zhiwen suddenly received a text message on his mobile phone.

He picked up his phone and saw that the sender was Wen Qi.

Zhou Zhiwen's heart moved, and he quickly opened the text message to check the content.

The message read: "This matter is very dangerous. If you don't have the strength of a Heavenly King, don't get involved and don't investigate further."

When Zhou Zhiwen saw this content, his heart trembled instantly.

He knew that his guess was correct, and this matter was really related to Wen Qi.

However, when Zhou Zhiwen saw the words "king-level strength", he took a breath of cold air.

He understood that Wenqi had good intentions and didn't want to put himself at risk.

Fortunately, Zhou Zhiwen had previously guessed with the team leader Jiang Tiansheng that this matter was not simple, and when the time came to report it, he would not care about it anymore.

Now with Wen Qi's advice, Zhou Zhiwen will be even less concerned.

He knew very well that he was not strong enough and would probably be courting death if he went, so it would be better to leave it to the people in the alliance to handle.

Zhou Zhiwen stood there, looking in the direction of the farm, feeling a mixture of emotions in his heart.

He was curious about Wenqi's mystery, but also felt a little lost for his own powerlessness.

He knew that he still had a long way to go in this world full of dangers and unknowns.

Wen Qi's reminder also made him more aware of his situation.

He decided to follow Wenqi's advice and not interfere in this matter.

Xiao Li looked at Zhou Zhiwen's complicated expression and was also full of doubts.

He didn't know what the relationship between Zhou Zhiwen and the owner of the farm was, nor did he know the specific content of the text message.

But he could feel that this matter must not be simple.

He asked softly, "Brother Zhou, what's wrong? Who sent that text message?"

Zhou Zhiwen glanced at Xiao Li, shook his head slightly, and said, "It's nothing, just a reminder from a friend. Let's not worry about this matter anymore, go back and report to the captain."

Although Xiao Li still had many questions in his mind, he didn't dare to ask any further when he saw Zhou Zhiwen's serious expression.

After Zhou Zhiwen and Xiao Li left Wenqi's farm, they called several other search team members respectively.

Afterwards, they gathered together at the previous battlefield.

It wasn't long before everyone arrived.

Everyone sat together and began to summarize the information they had collected.

However, after some communication, they found that the information was useless. Either they only heard the explosion, or they knew nothing.

Everyone was very disappointed about this, and looked helpless.

Zhou Zhiwen frowned and said, "It seems that our investigation this time didn't yield much. Let's all share our opinions."

Xiao Li spoke first: "Brother Zhou, I think we have done our best. The villagers around here really don't know any useful information. Although the farmer is a bit mysterious, we didn't get anything out of him."

Another team member also said: "Yeah, we have traveled to so many places and have no clues. What should we do?"

Someone else complained: "I should have known not to take this task earlier. It's a waste of effort."

Zhou Zhiwen waved his hand and said, "Don't be discouraged. Although we didn't find any useful clues this time, we can't give up. Maybe our superiors have other ideas."

Someone asked: "Brother Zhou, what should we do now?"

Zhou Zhiwen thought for a moment and said, "In this case, we can only go back and report the situation to the search team. Let's see what our superiors say."

Everyone nodded in agreement.

So, they set out together on the journey back to the search team, all hoping that their superiors would have a better way to solve the mystery.
