chapter 2
"Grandpa, I'm back."
They entered the barrier. Not long after they walked into the village, they heard Xiao Ai shouting loudly.
Then the two saw an old man walking over with a cane.
"Xiao Ai, are you out again?" The old man who was called grandfather by Xiao Ai should be in his seventies or eighties, with an old face, and he bent over and was almost touching the ground.
"Grandpa, am I back unsafe? Look at these two people who rescued me on the road." Xiao Ai introduced as he said.
"Oh? Is it the one who saved you? What danger did you encounter on the road?" Hearing Xiao Ai say this, the old man looked at Xiao Ai with a uncertain face.
"Oh, grandpa, I'm fine now." Xiao Ai kept saying,
"You, you, your child won't let me worry about it all day. If you are so reckless in the future, if you are not careful, how can you tell me to your grandma underground?" The old man said as he showed a hint of worry on his face.
"Okay, grandpa, I promise to listen to you in the future."
Hearing Xiao Ai’s promise, the old man smiled happily, "These two don’t look like our people from the Insect Mountain!"
Gu Qingge nodded when he heard this, "Well, I came from Fengming Continent."
"Fengming Continent?" The old man looked puzzled. It seemed that he had never heard of it before.
"Yes, we two are cultivators, and we came to find the legendary Wuji Land." Gu Qingge and Qiongqi looked at the old man, hoping to see something from the old man's face, but unfortunately, they did not.
The old man nodded with a confused look on his face, "Since he is the one who saved my granddaughter, he is the guest of my insect mountain. Come in!"
Gu Qingge and Qiongqi were invited by the old man to visit their homes.
This village is quite large and looks like hundreds of families, all living in barriers.
"Do you all live in this barrier all year round?" Gu Qingge asked,
The old man nodded, "Yes, everyone in our entire village is moving in the barrier. Even if you go out occasionally, those masters with cultivation in the village will go to other villages to seek some exchange of supplies." The old man slowly told their lifestyle in the Warm Mountain all year round.
Hearing this, Qiongqi couldn't help but ask, "Then have you never left the barrier?"
When the old man heard this, he smiled, "Where can we go out? Once we go out, we will easily become the targets of the monsters in the insect mountain."
"Since there are masters in your village, haven't they found a way to eliminate these bugs?"
The old man shook his head, "These things have tenacious vitality."
"And the people here cannot resist these insects at all. Their number is too many, which is beyond your imagination. Even if we can destroy them now, almost all the continents underground or outside this barrier are their nests. It is impossible for you to destroy them. What's more, in addition to the tenacious vitality, these insects are also beyond imagination to reproduce. It won't take long to produce a new insect mountain again. We can no longer withstand their attacks again."
Hearing this, Gu Qingge looked slightly solemn. She didn't expect that the scope of the insect mountain was so vast.
