Ling Feng looked speechless and glanced at Xiao Xiao: "at is an important resource? What do you an?"
"The animals we raise in our village, all the at has to be dried and offered up collectively," Xiao Xiao said.
Ling Feng was once again taken aback: "Offer up? To whom?"
"The Dragon Clan."
"What is this Dragon Clan?" Ling Feng asked.
Xiao Xiao listened with a panicked expression: "Don’t talk nonsense, do you want to doom everyone in the Ling Family Village!"
"Really?"
Ling Feng chuckled: "We’re in your house, do you think they can hear us talking?"
"We can’t speak carelessly. If they sohow hear you disrespecting the Dragon Clan, the whole village will suffer!" Xiao Xiao said.
Seeing the panic in her eyes, Ling Feng nodded: "Alright, I won’t say anything then."
No need to say more; he roughly understood the situation.
There is an organization called the Dragon Clan in this Xuanling Realm. Although its size is unknown, it must be very powerful. They oppress villages like the Ling Family Village, collecting resources from them. Whether they consu it or use it for sothing else is unclear, but obviously, they are exploiting ordinary people.
Because he was really hungry, even just having potatoes, Ling Feng ate them with joy, gulping down five in a row and finally burping with satisfaction.
By this ti, it was already dark outside, and an oil lamp was lit inside the house, its light resembling a small yellow bean, seemingly providing almost no illumination.
Ling Feng was used to electric lights, and it was quite frustrating not being able to see clearly in such darkness!
"I’ll help you enhance your physical condition now." Xiao Xiao said.
"Great, you help now, and later I’ll help you!" Ling Feng said.
Xiao Xiao was taken aback: "Help with what?"
"Don’t you need things with Xuan Qi? Tomorrow, I’ll get so for you, and bring back so wild animals, so we can have at!" Ling Feng said.
"Really?"
Xiao Xiao seed pleasantly surprised, her eyes shining brightly.
In the dim light, her features were hard to make out, and Ling Feng smiled, "Of course, it’s true."
"If you do that, everyone in the village will be very grateful to you!"
Xiao Xiao said and reached out to take sothing from her waist and handed it to Ling Feng: "Take this."
Ling Feng felt two small round things in his hand, the size of peanuts, and asked curiously: "What’s this?"
"These are dicinal Pills I made using those red fruits. Eating them will increase your stamina a lot, and your strength will be enhanced too!" Xiao Xiao said.
"Oh!"
Ling Feng understood. These pills were similar in effect to the first dicinal Pills he made.
So without saying a word, he swallowed the pills.
A mont later, a warmth began spreading from his abdon, a surge of warmth flooding throughout his body.
The sensation was truly comfortable, instantly dispelling his previous fatigue.
Ling Feng quickly asked: "Did you give these dicinal Pills to everyone in the village?"
Xiao Xiao shook her head: "No!"
Ling Feng was puzzled: "Why not?"
"These pills are very precious and can’t be given to people lightly!"
Xiao Xiao explained and went on: "Even if they eat them, it’s useless. People are still too scared to enter the forest."
Ling Feng gave a wry smile: "There’s nothing to fear in the forest, really?"
"For hundreds of years, people have been accustod to living in the village, and fear of the outside is ingrained. So people even start trembling all over and can’t move once they enter the woods!" Xiao Xiao said.
"Is that even possible?"
Ling Feng was also helpless as he heard this.
Xiao Xiao nodded: "Yes, you are brave. I helped enhance your abilities. If you can truly hunt in the forest, at least these pills won’t be wasted!"
"Don’t worry, they certainly won’t be wasted!"
Ling Feng smiled, stood up, and said: "It’s getting late, I should head ho!"
"Can you find your way ho?" Xiao Xiao asked.
Ling Feng finally rembered he didn’t know where his ho was.
Scratching his head, he chuckled: "It’s okay, I’ll ask around; I should be able to find it."
"Better not, it’s unsafe at night, try not to go out. You can stay here with tonight!" Xiao Xiao said.
Ling Feng was puzzled: "Unsafe? Why?"
"At night, spectral spirits appear in the sky. If you encounter them, you’ll be taken away!" Xiao Xiao said.
"Spectral spirits?"
Ling Feng widened his eyes: "What are those?"
"They’re creatures with huge wings that appear at night, specifically to eat at!" Xiao Xiao said.
"Your world is indeed full of dangers everywhere!"
Ling Feng comnted and then asked: "Is it alright for to stay here?"
Xiao Xiao didn’t reply imdiately but after a pause said: "Even if it’s inconvenient, it has to be this way now!"
With that, she turned and went into another room, coming out with a quilt.
Ling Feng touched the quilt and found it was made of coarse cloth, filled with what seed like cotton, feeling pretty soft.
Additionally, the quilt carried a hint of Incense Stick fragrance, suggesting that Xiao Xiao had used it.
She laid the bedding on the floor and said, "You can rest here tonight, I’ll be in the back."
"Alright, rest early!"
Ling Feng nodded and lay down directly.
Lying on the soft bedding, he felt incredibly comfortable.
So much so that Ling Feng fell asleep before he could even think about everything that happened that day!
The next morning, when the sky began to lighten, he was woken up by the crowing of roosters outside!
In the first mont upon waking, Ling Feng almost thought he was in Shiliu Village!
Sitting in a daze for a mont, he rembered where he was.
Out of nowhere, he suddenly felt a longing for his ho in Shiliu Village.
The rooster’s crowing outside ford a continuous chorus, soon waking almost everyone in the Ling Family Village.
Xiao Xiao, still wearing the sa white dress from yesterday, ca out from inside and asked Ling Feng: "How are you feeling now?"
Ling Feng knew what she was asking about and replied with a smile: "Feeling great!"
In truth, he didn’t feel anything at all!
After taking the two dicinal Pills last night, he only felt a warm sensation in his ridians, and nothing more!
No enhancent in stamina or strength whatsoever!
However, to not disappoint her, Ling Feng told a little fib!
He imdiately asked: "By the way, about those fruits I collected yesterday, can they be eaten directly?"
"Yes, eating them is also beneficial, but they’re so rare that people in Ling Family Village have hardly ever tasted them. I didn’t expect you to bring back so many!" Xiao Xiao said.
Ling Feng chuckled to himself, thinking, "What do you know? I picked quite a few yesterday; they’re all still under the tree!"
He didn’t rush to say it and smiled at Xiao Xiao: "I’m heading out now, aiming for a bigger harvest today!"
"Oh, aren’t you eating breakfast?" Xiao Xiao asked.
"Not hungry!"
Ling Feng left her with a view of his back, hurriedly heading out.
