Chapter 240: The Strange Village
Although the bombs that Xu Xiang gave to Huan Yun were mini bombs, unlike the mini appearance of the bombs, the damage of these bombs was not small at all. Comparing the mini bomb with the explosives made by A Lu Zhi, the mini bomb Xu Xiang gave Huan Yun was at least two to three times more powerful than A Lu Zhi’s explosive.
After Huan Yun hid the small bag in her clothes, she looked up and saw Xu Xiang looking at her.
She smiled and said, "Don’t worry. I know you don’t want humans in this world to know about our military technology. I promise you that I won’t let anyone know about these bombs, and I won’t use them unless I’m really in danger."
Seeing Huan Yun’s confident face, Xu Xiang could only believe her. She turned her head to look at the cave entrance in the distance and said, "Let’s go."
After Xu Xiang said that, the two of them walked towards the entrance of the cave. After walking for more than thirty minutes, Huan Yun was out of breath. She looked at the entrance of the cave that seemed very close in front of her.
"Xu Xiang, how far are we from the entrance of the cave?" She asked while panting.
Hearing her question, Xu Xiang turned to look at her. Seeing Huan Yun dragging her feet when she walked and her heavy breathing, Xu Xiang took out a bottle of boiled lake water and handed it to her.
Huan Yun took the water from her and said, "Thank you."
Xu Xiang then looked up at the sky, and then at the surrounding environment. Finding nothing strange, she thought for a while, then looked towards the mountain.
Seeing Xu Xiang looking around vigilantly, Huan Yun returned the water to her and asked, "Did you find something?"
Xu Xiang shook her head and said, "I didn’t find anything strange, but I always feel that something is wrong. It’s just that I don’t know what is wrong."
Hearing her words, Huan Yun looked at the entrance of the cave again, and said, "From our distance to the cave, we should be able to reach the entrance of the cave in ten to fifteen minutes. But after walking for more than thirty minutes, the distance between us and the entrance of the cave is still the same. There must be some sort of barrier that prevents us from reaching that cave."
Xu Xiang nodded after hearing Huan Yun’s words. She thought about it, and then took out the Eight Trigram Compass.
Huan Yun saw the Eight Trigram Compass in Xu Xian’s hand, and said, "Wow~ you even have this Eight Trigram Compass? It’s not something you can get even you have a lot of money."
Xu Xiang glanced at her and said calmly: "My Elder Brother gave it to me when I participated in field training in my first year in the military academy."
Hearing Xu Xiang mention Xu Xuan, Huan Yun’s eyes lit up with admiration, and said, "As expected of Senior Xu Xuan. He can even give away such a rare thing easily."
While Huan Yun was still busy talking about Xu Xuan, Xu Xiang had already activated the Eight Trigram Compass. She looked at the needle in the middle of the Eight Trigram Compass seriously. A few seconds later, she saw the needle stop moving.
Xu Xiang looked at the direction the needle was pointing at and frowned slightly. Seeing Xu Xiang frowning, Huan Yun asked, "What’s wrong?"
Xu Xiang shook her head and said, "Nothing. Let’s go."
Following the direction indicated by the Eight Trigram Compass, they walked for another ten minutes before they felt a gust of wind blowing over. They covered their eyes and waited for the wind to pass before opening them.
Huan Yun looked up, was taken aback, and asked in bewilderment: "Why are we back here again?"
Xu Xiang looked back, but did not see the mountain road behind her. Instead, she saw vast tracts of farmland there. Xu Xiang looked down at the Eight Trigram Compass, and found that the needle of the Eight Trigram Compass was still pointing in the same direction.
Xu Xiang sensed something was wrong and said, "Be careful. There is something wrong with this place."
Huan Yun looked at her serious expression, nodded, and then the two of them started walking again. As they walked, Xu Xiang kept observing their surroundings.
When she and Mu Yucheng came here before, it was still dark, and Xu Xiang couldn’t see the surroundings clearly. But this time, the sky was already bright, and she could finally see the surrounding situation clearly.
Xu Xiang carefully looked at the crops ready to be harvested in the farmlands, as well as the green trees and shrubs on the side of the road. The more she looked at those green plants, the stronger her bad premonition became.
Since she joined the mercenary team in her first life, she always managed to come back alive from various dangerous missions because she trusted her instincts. And now, her intuition told her that it was dangerous here.
Huan Yun walked beside her, looked around, and whispered softly: "Xu Xiang, why haven’t we seen anyone?"
Hearing Huan Yun’s question, Xu Xiang realized that they did not see anyone along the way. She looked at the Eight Trigram Compass again and found that the needle moved in another direction this time.
Without answering Huan Yun’s question, Xu Xiang turned and followed the needle direction. Seeing her walk away, Huan Yun hurriedly followed her. Ever since she came out of the fog, Huan Yun always had goosebumps in her arms. Coupled with the eerie silence around her, her goosebumps were getting worse.
They kept walking and walking until the needle of the Eight Trigram Compass stopped turning. Xu Xiang looked up, and there was a big stone gate in front of her. Looking at the three meter high double doors made of stone, Xu Xiang put away the Eight Trigram Compass.
