System [I am in a horror dungeon]

Chapter 305: Entering the mountain and looking around

The three of them looked at each other. Chu Lingxian looked at the bloodstains on the ground. They were going in the direction of the village. He didn't know whether it was the previous group of people or people from the village.

If it was that group of people, it could be explained, but if it was someone from the village, why? I have never heard of villagers hurting people.

Li Jinjia said weakly, "Can we take a break now?"

Chu Lingxian replied: "You guys go to sleep for a while, I'll keep watch, if anything happens, I'll call you."

Lu Nanyin looked at her still pale face and helped her sit down. "Let me stay here, you should have a good rest."

Chu Lingxian wanted to say something but was stopped by Lu Nanyin's eyes. She had no choice but to sit down obediently, leaning against the wall, finding a comfortable position, and closed her eyes under Lu Nanyin's gaze.

As for Li Jinjia, he had already fallen asleep leaning against the wall on the other side.

Lu Nanyin sat on the ground with a cushion, paying attention to her surroundings while checking her system space.

There was a rustling sound coming from outside. Lu Nanyin pricked up her ears and listened. Someone was talking in a low voice, and it seemed that they were discussing the matter of that person from last night.

Then the men knocked on the door, startling Li Jinjia. She looked around with alert eyes, "What's wrong? What happened?"

Chu Lingxian hadn't fallen asleep in the first place, and now he stood up, walked to Lu Nanyin and looked outside the door.

The group of people didn't seem to have any ill intentions. They knocked on the door and asked, "Is anyone there?"

"What's the matter?" Chu Lingxian walked to the door, put his hand on the bolt, and asked those people.

"It's like this. Someone in our village went missing last night, and there was a trail of blood extending here. I wanted to ask what happened?"

The three of them exchanged glances and none of them intended to open the door.

Chu Lingxian pulled the bolt tight and said to the group of people outside, "Was it the blood moon last night? That person came to our place, and I don't know what he wanted to do. We only heard screams and various noisy sounds. After the blood moon passed, it became like this."

When the group heard her say this, they began to whisper, discussing the blood moon.

A woman rushed up, banging on the door, crying, "My son wouldn't have gotten out by himself. It must have been you. You must have caught him. Give my son back to me."

The village chief was among them, and he pushed the people around him, "Quickly take your wife away. You can't slander her like this."

The middle-aged man who was pushed pulled the person away cursing.

The village chief cleared his throat and continued, "Girl, this is the case. We are at the foot of the mountain. It is not safe. There are a few empty rooms in the village that you can stay in. The rent is only one hundred yuan a day. Do you think it's okay?"

Li Jinjia frowned. "That sounds so familiar. It seems my previous landlord also said the same thing, and then she rented the house on the fourth floor to me."

Chu Lingxian rejected the village chief's proposal. The village chief didn't say anything else and left with the group of people.

Fearing that someone was waiting there, they waited until the sun came out before opening the door. During this time, the only sounds outside were the wind and birds singing, with occasional roars, which should be from ferocious beasts deep in the forest.

The three of them came out of the warehouse. Li Jinjia was curious, "This group of people left so easily. I thought I would have to argue with them for a long time."

Lu Nanyin nodded, "Indeed, they just left like that? They don't have any other tricks up their sleeves, do they?"

Chu Lingxian walked around the warehouse and didn't find anything wrong, except for some white medicinal powder on the window. The smell of the medicinal powder was exactly the same floral fragrance that the three of them smelled last night, but after a night, the smell of the medicinal powder was almost gone.

Chu Lingxian collected the medicine powder onto a piece of paper, wrapped it up, and showed it to Lu Nanyin and Li Jinjia.

"This powder is the smell we smelled yesterday, right? But who put it on the window?"

Lu Nanyin dipped her finger in some of the powder and put it under her nose to sniff it carefully. She turned her head to look at the forest and had an idea in her mind, but...

"You want to go into the mountains?"

Chu Lingxian's question touched Lu Nanyin's heart. She really wanted to go into the mountains to find the materials for making these medicinal powders, but Chu Lingxian said yesterday that one of the herbs can only be found at the bottom of the deep sea. But there are mountains here, so how can there be something from the deep sea?

"You don't want to replicate this powder, do you?"

Lu Nanyin looked away and said, "I just want to know what the use of these powders is. It's impossible that they are placed on our windows just because they smell good."

Li Jinjia laughed, "That's definitely impossible, but we are not familiar with this forest. What if we get lost in it and don't come back at night? What should we do?"

"That's right. Why don't we take a look outside first?"

"Okay, let's take a look around the periphery and determine the route."

The three of them prepared everything and headed towards the mountain.

They attracted a lot of attention along the way. Li Jinjia saw the villagers working in the fields stop their work and stare at them, making them feel uncomfortable.

When they entered the mountain, the feeling of being watched disappeared. Lu Nanyin looked at the road they had come from, and she was still frightened. "Why do I feel like they have great ill will towards us? Is it because of what happened just now?"

"What happened just now was not our fault. We told them the truth about what happened. What does it have to do with us? Why are you staring at us like that?"

Chu Lingxian sighed, "We said that, but they may not believe it. And although this village is not secluded from the world, they are still more willing to trust their own people when facing outsiders."

The three of them were chatting while wandering around the outskirts of the forest. There were many medicinal herbs here, and the land was very fertile. Not only medicinal herbs, but also grains, vegetables and fruits planted on this land would have a good harvest.

After walking for a while, the sun rose overhead and the three of them sat down and rested for a while.

Li Jinsheng pointed at a flower that was in full bloom and asked, "What kind of flower is this? It's so beautiful."

Chu Lingxian and Lu Nanyin looked in the direction of her finger. This seemed to be one of the ingredients in the powder.

Lu Nanyin walked forward and looked carefully. Yes, it was that medicinal herb. She found it so easily.

Chu Lingxian dug out the flower along with its roots and the surrounding soil, and Lu Nanyin planted it in her own system space. After watering it, the flower, which had been a little wilted, perked up.

After planting, Lu Nanyin came to her senses and came out of the system space, only to see the two people staring at the pit.

"What's wrong? Is there any problem?"
