"Why is there a wooden house here?"
Mo Yan looked at the small wooden house in front of him and couldn't help but mutter in his heart.
The two of them were now deep in the Primeval Forest north of Yuansi. This was a forbidden area for humans and there were no signs of human presence along the way.
Yet, the wooden house appeared out of nowhere.
Mo Yan secretly used the Power of Darkness to cover his eyes but couldn't see anything wrong.
"Where's Hunter X?" Zhu Lan asked. After all, the sprite in charge of tracking this time was Mo Yan's Geng Gui.
"It's not far from the wooden house. He's stopped temporarily. Looks like he thinks he's successfully escaped."
Zhu Lan wasn't in a hurry since the enemy wasn't lost. Hunter X who lost four sprites was like a toothless Roaring Blaze Tiger, worse than a sick Xiangwei Meow.
However, the wooden house in front of them appeared too abruptly and there was no way it wouldn't attract Mo Yan's attention.
"Forget it. Let's take care of Hunter X first!"
"Okay!"
Zhu Lan nodded in agreement. Then, the two of them went around the wooden house and continued their pursuit.
Soon, the unusually battered Hunter X was discovered by Mo Yan and the others again. This time, he didn't have a plane to hide in.
When the Geng Gui saw Mo Yan and the others arrive, it immediately used Mind Control on Hunter X without hesitation. It was so fast that Hunter X couldn't react at all.
Looking at Mo Yan who was walking toward him step by step, Hunter X's eyes were filled with true despair.
"Geng Gui, Hypnosis!"
"Hah ~"
After removing all the pokeballs from Hunter X and letting the Geng Gui completely hypnotize him, Mo Yan and Zhu Lan finally breathed a sigh of relief.
In the end, they still managed to catch him.
"That wooden house …"
"Let's go back and take a look!"
"Okay."
Soon, the two of them returned to the wooden house. This time, smoke was rising from the house.
There was someone!
For a moment, Mo Yan and Zhu Lan were hesitant.
Creak ~
The door … opened.
An old man with white hair and a slightly hunched back slowly walked out with a wooden basin in his arms.
The next moment, the old man stopped in his tracks and looked at the two unfamiliar young men standing in front of his house in astonishment.
Oh no, there was another one lying unconscious in the air beside him.
"Are you... lost?" The old man wanted to ask Mo Yan where they came from, but he thought it was inappropriate.
Mo Yan and Zhu Lan looked at each other, not knowing how to answer.
However, there was no doubt that an old man who could live alone in a primitive Forest was definitely not an ordinary person.
"Greetings, sir. We are trainers who are out for training. We saw the wooden house here and were a little curious. Sorry to disturb you."
Zhu Lan explained politely, but she did not elaborate on why they were here.
The old man didn't mind. He smiled warmly and poured the water from the wooden basin into the vegetable garden. Then, he waved at them.
"You're a guest from afar. It's fate that we met. Come in and have a cup of tea."
Mo Yan and Zhu Lan looked at each other again, then looked at Hunter X who was being raised in the air by the Geng Gui. In the end, they couldn't hold back their curiosity and followed in.
"Sir, how should I address you?" Mo Yan asked after entering the wooden house.
The old man led them to the sofa in the living room, then went to make tea.
While making tea, the old man said, "Sir makes me sound young. I should be from the same generation as your grandfather. Just call me Grandpa Shi Ping."
"Come, have some tea."
"Thank you, Grandpa Shi Ping!"
"Thank you..."
Mo Yan and Zhu Lan stood up and took the hot tea. A wonderful tea aroma instantly entered their noses.
"It smells so good!"
"Hahaha, it's just tea leaves that I casually made. Only the aroma can fool people."
Shi Ping was modest, but his hearty laughter revealed that he was very pleased with Zhu Lan's subconscious praise.
"It's not just the aroma. The aftertaste of the tea is just right. After drinking it, I feel like my exhaustion has been reduced. Shi Ping... Grandpa, your tea is not simple!"
Mo Yan took a small sip and commented from the bottom of his heart.
"Hahahaha, no wonder you can find such a beautiful girlfriend. You're really good with words!"
Shi Ping laughed even more happily, but he obviously misunderstood something.
Zhu Lan was drinking tea beside him, but she choked when she heard Shi Ping's words.
"No rush, no rush. You have to take it slow when drinking tea!"
Seeing this, Shi Ping quickly guessed the relationship between the two of them.
Above friendship, but not yet lovers!
"It's been a long time since someone came here. Why don't you stay for a meal?"
"I don't think that's a good idea. We..." Zhu Lan wanted to say that they just met, but Shi Ping interrupted her.
"Please don't reject the request of an old man who lives alone. Just treat it as accompanying me."
Zhu Lan hesitated. She couldn't help but turn to Mo Yan.
"Then we'll have to trouble you. We'll help you."
"No rush, no rush. Let's wait for my friends to come back first." Shi Ping said and sat down on the sofa, looking like he wanted to continue chatting.
Mo Yan guessed that Shi Ping lived alone and didn't have anyone to talk to. That was why he could talk so much when he met two strangers.
Soon, Mo Yan confirmed his guess.
As expected, Shi Ping began to talk about everything. From the stir-frying of the tea leaves, to dinner later, to how young couples went on dates...
Local delicacies, human emotions, fairy legends... Shi Ping said whatever came to his mind. He didn't care if Mo Yan and Zhu Lan could understand or not. The more he talked, the more excited he got.
Mo Yan and Zhu Lan didn't talk much, so they were good listeners. They listened quietly until the wooden door opened again.
"Today passed so quickly. My old friends are all back!" Shi Ping finally stopped and walked towards the door.
What Mo Yan and Zhu Lan saw was an ordinary Marsala.
But in the next moment, Marsala had already appeared in front of Mo Yan and Zhu Lan. Its cold white bone claws were already on their necks.
Then, Mo Yan's Geng Gui and Zhu Lan's Rock Monster rushed out of the shadow and looked nervously at Marsala.
What terrifying speed!
"Marsala, come back quickly. They're our guests!"
"Neura!"
Marsala looked back at Shi Ping. After confirming that he wasn't being hypnotized or threatened, it jumped off the coffee table.
"Are you okay? I apologize on behalf of Marsala. It's just too sensitive!"
"Neura!" Marsala turned its head in disdain.
Shi Ping smiled awkwardly and quickly changed the topic.
"You must be hungry. I'll go cook. There's a lot of good food today!"
After saying that, Shi Ping quickly carried the ingredients that Marsala brought back and walked quickly to the kitchen. Marsala slowly followed him.
Only then did Mo Yan and Zhu Lan recover from their shock.
Just as Marsala approached them, both of them felt a terrifying aura pressing down on them.
That feeling, it was as if...
