Li Jia's discovery was rather shocking. Even Lin Huang was surprised.
"Are you sure you're not mistaken? Are they really humans? Not monsters in disguise? "Tan Lang still found it hard to believe.
"It should be. It's obvious that the buildings in the town are man-made. Moreover, they're still brightly lit. I don't think monsters can build a human town like that. "Li Jia was very sure about that.
"Could they be survivors from the ancient epoch?" Shen Tao could not help but frown. "If there were humans who survived from this battlefield, it's possible for them to build a town slowly."
"Theoretically, it's possible." Lin Huang nodded in agreement.
From a logical point of view, Shen Tao's statement was reasonable.
"Moreover, this foggy area might've protected them from being disturbed by the outside world. It's been passed down from generation to generation until now," Li Jia added.
His addition made everyone believe that these people might really be survivors from the ancient epoch.
"Let's go take a look then. We need a place to rest and find out more information. " Tan Lang thought about it and decided to do so. However, he did not forget to remind them, "No matter if these people are survivors from the ancient epoch or not, we must still be alert. You must know that we're in grade-7 ruins. Anything can happen. "
After giving some instructions, Tan Lang led the group of people in the direction of the town.
Soon, they saw the town that Li Jia mentioned.
The town was not big. It was estimated to be 40 to 50 square kilometers. Almost all the buildings in the town were low-rise houses with red bricks and green tiles. It was rare to see two-story houses.
Red lanterns were lit in front of the houses. It was not energy stones that were lit up inside, but burning flames.
"I've seen such lanterns in the museum. I remember it was said that ordinary people from the ancient epoch used them to light up," an immortal-level rank-9 could not help but say, "The fuel seems to be made of animal fat."
The group of people descended from mid-air slowly.
"Indeed, there's no energy reaction at all. The people here should be ordinary people who don't cultivate." Tan Lang finally confirmed what Li Jia said earlier. He was slightly relieved after checking it out himself.
Meanwhile, Lin Huang noticed that a 12 or 13-year-old young man in a house not far away saw them descending from the sky through the window.
He turned his head and looked at the direction where the young man was. The young man immediately buried his head under the windowsill and only popped half of his head out after a while, peeking at Lin Huang and the rest.
Lin Huang nodded at him while smiling. He was stunned for a moment and looked conflicted. He then opened the window and shouted at Lin Huang, "Are you guys immortals?"
Lin Huang and the rest were stunned to hear that.
"Kid …" Just when Shen Tao was about to say something, Lin Huang grabbed his shoulder and shook his head at him.
Lin Huang took a step forward and smiled at the young man. "We're not gods. We're cultivators."
"But I saw you guys flying down from the sky. You guys are immortals!" The young man said confidently.
"Is that what you're talking about?" Lin Huang floated up from the ground slowly and flew to the window.
"You guys are really immortals!" The young man's eyes lit up when he saw that Lin Huang was easy to talk to. He was not afraid anymore and said to Lin Huang in excitement, "Then, you guys must know how to kill demons!"
"Demons?" Lin Huang was stunned to hear that, but he soon snapped back to his senses. "What do the demons you're talking about look like?"
"They're …" The young man's voice was interrupted all of a sudden.
"Xiao Yu, who are you talking to?" A woman opened the young man's room door all of a sudden.
"Aunty …" The young man turned his head and looked at the door immediately.
"Who are you?" The woman looked at Lin Huang with her guard up. She took a few steps forward and pulled the young man behind her.
"Aunty, he's an immortal!" The young man who was called Xiao Yu said excitedly.
"An immortal? You must be a liar! "The woman looked even more cautious now.
"He's not a liar. I really saw him fly!" Xiao Yu quickly defended Lin Huang.
"Are you leaving or not? If you don't, I'll call the authorities! "The woman said to Lin Huang fiercely. She was certain that Lin Huang was a liar.
"Lady, please calm down. I just want to ask about demons." Lin Huang looked helpless.
"You're asking about demons? Do you really think you're an immortal?!" The woman looked disdainful. "I've seen a lot of scammers. You're not the only one who can fly. Do you really think I don't know that this is a trick?! Let me fly if you can! If you let me fly, I'll believe that you're an immortal. "
"Remember what you said." Lin Huang could not help but laugh when he heard what the woman said.
He extended two telekinesis threads and wrapped them around the woman and the young man. Lin Huang moved his fingers slightly and both of them floated off the ground.
"I …" The woman wanted to say something but suddenly realized that her feet were in the air. She swallowed the words that were about to come out of her mouth.
"I'm flying!" Xiao Yu was so happy that he danced and shouted when he saw that he was really floating.
"Can we talk now?" After a while, when the woman recovered from her shock, Lin Huang said with a smile.
"He really is an immortal …" The woman mumbled.
The woman opened the door and let Lin Huang and the rest into the house. Only then did she realize that there was more than one immortal, but there were ten of them.
"Sit, sit …" The woman moved all the stools in the house out nervously. However, there were only eight of them, which made her even more uneasy.
"Lady, don't be nervous. We just want to ask you a few questions." Lin Huang knew that the woman might really be frightened.
"Ask away. I'll tell you everything that I know."
"Here's the thing. We've just arrived in your town, so we don't know much about the situation here. I heard from Xiao Yu that there are demons here. Can you tell us more about demons? "Lin Huang went straight to the point. Tan Lang and the rest pricked up their ears, afraid that they would miss something.
"You're here to kill demons? That's great!" Only then did the woman heave a sigh of relief. Then, she began to talk non-stop, "Near our town, there is a Black Dragon Mountain. There is an especially powerful demon on the mountain. It is said that it is a one-eyed black dragon. The black dragon has dozens of little demons under its command, and each of them is extremely powerful. Even the government officials needed three people to barely fight against one of them. Every other day, these little demons will break into the town and catch people to eat … My poor son was dragged away by a wolf demon even when he was hiding under the bed … "
"Lady, what do those little demons look like?" Lin Huang asked after listening to the woman's story while wiping her tears.
"They're all different. Some look like monkeys, some look like wolves, and some can walk like humans … Anyway, they all have sharp teeth and claws. They're even more powerful than tigers!"
Lin Huang, Tan Lang, and the rest looked at each other. They were more or less certain that the demons the woman was talking about were monsters.
"Lady, since there are demons in this town, why don't you move away?" Lin Huang asked again.
"Isn't it the same wherever we move? Which town isn't haunted by demons now? I heard that there was a town where demons couldn't be seen. Every day, people would die mysteriously. There was nowhere to hide. Eventually, everyone in the town fled. At least the demons here can still be seen, and we can still find a place to hide. " The woman looked helpless. "The capital is safe, but it's too far away. We don't have that much money to go there!"
"Why is the capital safe?" Lin Huang finally understood. There was far more than one town in this foggy area. There were many other towns, and not just towns, there were even more cities where people gathered.
"The capital has city walls and guards. Of course it's safe!" The woman did not know much about the capital.
After confirming this information, Lin Huang asked a few more questions. The woman's knowledge was limited. She had obviously heard many things from hearsay, and many of them were false and exaggerated. Moreover, many of the things she said had nothing to do with the questions Lin Huang wanted to know. For example, Xiao Yu's parents were captured by demons, and she pitied him and adopted him …
