Chapter 33: Chapter 33: Saving Lives, The Eve of Taking Action

"Actually going into the mountains to look for someone, and with such a clear purpose, the village chief really did hide something," Huang En’s grace quickly found out the situation.

It was the village chief who organized the villagers to go into the mountains to look for Qian Tiezhu, and he repeated the orders to ensure that the person was found before the Mountain God Festival tomorrow.

"Yes, under normal circumstances, they should first suspect us outsiders, they should have come to inquire immediately, not go deliberately into the mountains to search. This implies that similar incidents may have occurred in the past and are related to the Mountain God Festival," Gu Shanhai also said.

They were not unaware of Qian Tiezhu’s whereabouts, he was still lying on the beams of Qian Lao’s house, growing.

"So now is a good opportunity, everyone is in the mountains, we can go rescue people," said the Heavenly Immortal Drunk, thinking it was a great opportunity.

"I think it makes sense, now is a rare opportunity, as long as we’re fast enough, we can definitely do it," Huang En also approved of this plan.

In the end, Gu Shanhai still sighed, "Alright, but you guys will have to rescue him yourselves. I’m planning to search the village chief’s home."

He knew that even if they rescued the person, it would be a huge problem. Fengtai Village was remote and they were constrained here. Even if they rescued the person and let him go, it would be very difficult for him to leave the mountains.

Don’t even think about transportation. The village was so poor it didn’t even have bicycles, and the victim had probably been tortured for quite a while.

However, if they wanted to be the good guys, Gu Shanhai wouldn’t stop them. It’s always better to team up with good people than with bad ones. At least they wouldn’t stab Gu Shanhai in the back.

The two naturally had no objections. In their eyes, Gu Shanhai was a strength-focused player, while they were plot-focused. They couldn’t force the strength-focused to follow their own path, as Gu Shanhai was more concerned with clearing stages and gaining rewards than with the storyline.

Since their satisfaction points were different, they naturally couldn’t force each other.

After preparing, the three rushed to the village chief’s home.

The reason for not leaving immediately was that the village chief and others hadn’t left yet. They could have bumped into them if they had gone earlier.

"The village is all men; it does fit the three characters of Fengtai Village quite well," Gu Shanhai couldn’t help but remark.

The phoenix is male, which also subtly matched the current situation of the whole village.

It seemed like karma, after all, the main theme was the cycle of cause and effect.

"Isn’t the phoenix female?" asked the Heavenly Immortal Drunk, somewhat confused.

"Not really..." Huang En, obviously knowledgeable about the anecdote, explained the situation to the Heavenly Immortal Drunk.

After learning the truth, the Heavenly Immortal Drunk found it somewhat difficult to comprehend the full meaning of the phrase "dragon and phoenix bring auspiciousness".

"There are two people guarding, hmm, the same two as yesterday. Do I take care of them, or do you?" asked Gu Shanhai.

It’s best not to take action if it’s not necessary.

"You do it," Heavenly Immortal Drunk said. Being a summoner, he relied more on summoned creatures. Using summoning skills, which are basic summoning techniques, there were limits and counts to how often he could summon, which made him somewhat disadvantaged initially until he formed various contracts, pets, and even mounts.

Otherwise, the Heavenly Immortal Drunk would have summoned something long ago.

The noise from Huang En’s guns was a bit too loud, so it was best that Gu Shanhai take action.

Gu Shanhai slipped in without making a sound, and easily subdued the two guards.

Then, after observing for a while, he motioned for Huang En and Heavenly Immortal Drunk to come in. He then took out almost half a bottle of Rat-man medicine from his chest.

He administered an even dose to the two guards.

"Are you planning on creating more Rat-men? Isn’t Qian Tiezhu enough?" asked the Heavenly Immortal Drunk upon seeing Gu Shanhai’s actions when he came in, curious about what he was doing.

"It’s useless to keep it, just use it now. I want to see what happens if the dosage isn’t enough. Find the person yourself, I have other things to do," Gu Shanhai said after tying up the two men and casually tossing them aside. Then, of course, he started rummaging through the house.

Seeing this, Huang En and Heavenly Immortal Drunk naturally did not say anything. They also started looking for the ’new bride’ in their own way.

"Not here, that’s strange. It couldn’t be in the basement, could it..." Having searched everywhere, Gu Shanhai didn’t find anything.

So he suspected the basement.

The basement was easy to find. Though called a basement, it was actually a dug-out storage space for miscellaneous items. Huang En and Heavenly Immortal Drunk had already found it.

Gu Shanhai entered and saw the two trying to unlock a woman whose hands and feet were chained. The chains were nailed directly into the ground, and it would be difficult for the average person to pull them out.

But Gu Shanhai didn’t even look, instead, he continued searching.

"The key was taken by the village chief," the woman said in a calm voice.

"Do you know anything about the Mountain God Festival?" Gu Shanhai asked, having found nothing.

"The altar below has a tribute tablet, does that count?" the woman replied.

"It does, anything else?" Gu Shanhai asked again.

Hesitating for a moment, she then said, "That’s all."

"Understood," Gu Shanhai then rose and approached the chains. "I thought you guys had a solution, but you’re resorting to smashing. These thick chains would take until next year to break."

Mana seeped into the lock, and he effortlessly unlocked it.

"All set, it’s done. You guys escort her out, I need to go to the altar," Gu Shanhai said, getting up to leave.

He had no time to waste with the two.

Of course, even if the woman hadn’t said anything, if Gu Shanhai hadn’t found anything at the village chief’s house, he would still plan to go to the altar.

"By the way, after you’ve escorted the person away, go to the old Qian Family house and bring down the stuff. Otherwise, it will be hard to explain later," Gu Shanhai added as he climbed out, reminding them to remember to bring down Qian Tiezhu from the Qian Family’s old house.

With the addition of the two half-human, half-rats at the village chief’s house, creating some disruption would be enough.

Huang En and Heavenly Immortal Drunk naturally understood Gu Shanhai’s words. After all, it was not easy to explain this to the NPCs; they had to bring the person to the village entrance first before dealing with it.

As for what came after, that would depend on whether Gu Shanhai had any findings. If there were, that would be best. If not, they would most likely have to go into the mountains to investigate what the Mountain God really was.

No matter how good a hidden mission is, it’s only supplementary to the main mission. If the main mission isn’t completed, neither side missions nor hidden ones have any significance.

The two types of missions cannot replace the main mission.

Having decided on their course of action, they naturally had to focus on the main mission.
