David and Liu Xue immediately became alert, gripped their weapons tightly and stared intently in the direction where the sound came from.
Before long, an old woman and a small child appeared before them.
The old woman had gray hair and her face was full of wrinkles. He walked with a cane, his steps unsteady.
The child was a little boy, about fifteen or sixteen years old. He looked at David and Liu Xue with wide, curious eyes.
“Who are you? What are you doing here?”
The old woman asked carefully.
David quickly said, “Sir, we came from another place and accidentally got lost here. Can you tell us where this place is?”
Hearing David’s words, the old woman’s vigilance was slightly reduced: “This is the Spirit Wilderness, a forgotten world. How did you get here?”
“Desert Spirit?”
David and Liu Xue exchanged glances, both seeing confusion in each other’s eyes.
They had never heard of this name before, and they also did not know where this Spirit Desert was located.
“Old man, we don’t know why we got here. We were in the ruins when we touched an ancient book, then lost consciousness, and when we woke up, we were already here.”
David was telling the truth.
After hearing David’s words, the old woman fell into contemplation: “An ancient book? Could it be a legendary book? Never mind, let’s not talk about that yet.”
You look hurt. Why don’t you come back to our village? There we have herbal concoctions that can help treat your wounds.
David and Liu Xue hesitated for a moment. They didn’t know whether the old woman and child were trustworthy, but they were seriously injured and didn’t know anything about this place, so they could only follow them back to the village to have a look.
So they followed the old woman and child towards the village.
Throughout the journey, the old woman continued to chat with them, asking where they came from and what the outside world was like.
David and Liu Xue answered carefully while observing their surroundings.
After walking for an unknown amount of time, they finally arrived at the village.
The village is small, consisting of only a few dozen households. Most of the houses are built of mud and stone and look very simple.
When the villagers saw the old woman returning with two strangers, they all looked at her curiously.
The old woman took David and Liu Xue to a rickety house, then took out some potions and treated their wounds.
While treating the wounds, David and Liu Xue noticed that the villagers looked very strange, with greed and indifference in their eyes.
