Chapter 751 The Guardian of the Demon's Forbidden Land
After saying that, Chu Chen followed the old man into the forest and headed forward.
Before long, a narrow path appeared in the mountains and forests.
At the end of the narrow path, three or five thatched huts stood there, deserted and quiet.
Just as the old man led Chu Chen closer to the thatched hut, a burly man suddenly walked out from inside.
"Master, something terrible has happened! Someone has killed our wolf."
After saying that, he dragged the wolf carcasses to the ground.
Chu Chen looked at the wolf and thought to himself, "Good heavens, didn't I kill this one?"
You know, I killed him in a very far place, how come I was able to retrieve the body so quickly?
How fast must this person be?
It seems I've been oversimplifying the world.
The old man looked at the wolf's carcass, then turned to look at Chu Chen: "Young man, did you do this?"
Chu Chen thought to himself that there was no way to hide it now, so he simply admitted it to them.
"Yes, I killed him. The situation was urgent; your pet was trying to harm me, so I had no choice..."
"But please rest assured, senior and this brother, I will definitely compensate you."
After Chu Chen finished speaking, he looked at the middle-aged man with a smile.
To be honest, he couldn't see through this person's cultivation level at all, which meant that this middle-aged man should be much stronger than himself.
"Compensate? What are you going to use to compensate us? You have to understand, these are the very food we need to get through this winter."
"You killed me before I even grew up."
What's going on? The grain hasn't grown yet? This thing is twice the size of a calf, and you're saying it hasn't grown yet?
"Alright, it's just a few wolves. We have so many more, how can we talk to our guests like that?"
Seeing the somewhat angry middle-aged man, the old man couldn't help but shout and curse at him.
The man instantly deflated like a punctured balloon, standing rooted to the spot, too afraid to utter a sound.
This made Chu Chen feel a little embarrassed.
Just then, a young woman came out of the hut.
"Master, elder brother, what are you arguing about? Ah... the wolf cub is dead, and who is this young master?"
Chu Chen looked ahead in the direction of the sound and saw a woman in her early twenties wearing a faded linen dress.
He asked, puzzled.
The old man then said to Chu Chen, "Hehe, young man, you see, these are my grandson and granddaughter."
"I am Yan Tian, this is my grandson Yan Feng, this is my granddaughter Yan Yu, and what is the name of this young man?"
Seeing that the old man had already introduced himself, Chu Chen didn't hold back either.
Instead, he clasped his hands in greeting to the group and said, "My name is Chu Chen. I greet Senior Yan, Brother Yan, and Miss Yan."
The girl covered her mouth and laughed after hearing this: "Brother, look, someone actually calls me 'girl' now."
"Go, go, go cook! We're having meat today."
The man threw the wolf's carcass at the girl and said irritably.
"Young Master Chu, please come inside!"
Then the man turned to look at Chu Chen. Although he still harbored some resentment, his attitude had improved considerably.
The old man smiled at Chu Chen and then led him into the thatched hut.
The hut was very simple inside.
A stone pot, a campfire, and a simple bed.
The bed was covered with a simple linen quilt, which looked quite old.
Looking into Chu Chen's eyes, the old man said, "Young Master Chu, you flatter us. We are people who live in the mountains, so our things are a bit dirty and messy. Please bear with us."
Chu Chen politely shook his head: "It's alright, I brought some with me, I'll bring them over to you later."
"Since your abilities are so unfathomable, why don't you go live in Anchang?"
After saying that, Chu Chen asked the question that had been bothering him.
Although I can't see through their strength, they must be experts, or at least experts more powerful than myself.
If such a person were to enter Anchang Kingdom, he would certainly be sought after by various powerful forces.
Even Li Haoran had to respectfully invite them back.
Could he be a hermit who lives in seclusion in the mountains and doesn't care about worldly affairs?
"Hehe, Young Master Chu, there are many reasons, it's a long story. It's noon now, let my little sister cook for us, and we can chat while we eat."
After saying that, he led Chu Chen to sit down on a wooden bench.
The girl was very quick and efficient; in no time, she had placed a piece of wolf meat on the fire to roast.
Then he took a handful of yellow salt from a burlap sack, sprinkled it on top, and started roasting it.
Chu Chen remained silent upon seeing this.
I know nothing about any of the three people in front of me, so it's best to say as little as possible. Who knows if they are friends or foes?
"This is rock salt, which I personally refined. Young Master Chu, please make do with it."
A short while later, a large piece of roasted meat was placed in front of Chu Chen.
Chu Chen didn't stand on ceremony. He grabbed a piece of roasted meat and stuffed it into his mouth. After chewing it a few times, he put it into his spatial storage with a thought.
After the meal, the old man led Chu Chen out of the thatched hut and then pointed to the forest in front of them.
"Young Master Chu is indeed quite capable. He possesses that magical object, so he's not afraid of them."
Chu Chen understood immediately; the old man was asking him about airplanes.
So he spoke up and said, "Senior Yan, what you saw is called an airplane, which is something that can take humans into the sky."
"It's not really anything magical, but it's certainly not easy to make."
"airplane?"
Yan Tian immediately became interested after hearing this. He had his own difficulties, and what he wanted was for this young man in front of him to take him to the sky so he could have a look.
"That's right, it's an airplane. If you don't mind, I'll show you around sometime."
"Hahaha, that's wonderful, that's wonderful indeed!"
When Yan Tian heard Chu Chen say that he would take her to the heavens, she was so happy that she danced around like a child.
"I really want to go up there and see this land."
Chu Chen was very puzzled after hearing this, thinking to himself, "Could it be that you're trapped? But you can move around freely."
"Senior Yan, I don't quite understand why you have such a deep interest in this continent?"
"Haha, Young Master Chu, this is a long story, it all started when I arrived on this land..."
As he spoke, Yan Tian led Chu Chen to sit on a rock nearby.
Chu Chen didn't stand on ceremony. He sat down and took out a cigarette from his pocket and lit it.
It's not to show off, but I just finished eating and I'm really craving something.
Seeing Chu Chen puffing out smoke, Yan Tian wasn't surprised. Instead, he slowly told him about the three of them living there.
Chu Chen listened quietly, his expression growing increasingly surprised, and he felt more and more the wonder of this world.
"Senior, so how long have you lived?"
