Chapter 2199 Immortal Village
Just then, the scenery before them suddenly opened up, revealing a village along with a stream and amountain range.
Seeing that, Skyler was beyond elated.
“We finally exited that oppressive forest. I would've suffocated if we didn't get out. But it is so strangethat there's a village within this mountain range,” she said to Jared.
Jared was frowning and scrutinizing everything in front of him.
“We've been walking for so long, and my face is all sweaty. This is the perfect timing for me to wash myface.”
Looking at the clear stream, Skyler strode over.
However, at that moment, Jared grabbed hold of her. “Don't go over there.”
“What's the matter?” she asked.
“I feel like there's something wrong with this place,” he said with his brows furrowed.
“Wrong? What's wrong?” Skyler scanned her surroundings carefully but didn't notice anything unusual.
Moreover, at the side of the stream not far away, an old man was sitting on a rock, smoking, with achild next to him.
That old man was Luol, and the child beside him was just an illusion.
“I can't quite put my finger on it, but I can't shake off the feeling that something's not right.”
Jared had yet to discover everything before him was just an illusionary realm/
That was proof of the level of sophistication in Luol's magecraft.
“We'll know if there's a problem or not once we go over and ask.”
As Skyler spoke, she approached the old man and the child.
Jared had no choice but to follow her and enquire further before doing anything else.
“Sir, could you please tell us where we are?” Skyler stepped forward and asked Luol.
Luol looked up and gazed at Jared and Skyler. A hint of confusion flashed across his eyes.
“Who are you?” Instead of answering Skyler's question, Luol retorted with a question of his own.Elgado mentioned the person who killed the Twin Grim Reapers was likely sent by Stormwind Sect.That's why I set up this illusion spell to delay Stormwind Sect's progress.
However, Jared and Skyler were obviously not members of the Stormwind Sect. Therefore, Luol had toask that question.
“We—”
Skyler was about to inform Luol they were from Luminous Sect when Jared interrupted her.
“We are mountain villagers who mistakenly entered this place. We'd been walking in the forest for along time before we stumbled into this place. Where exactly are we?” he asked.
“This is Immortal Village. Our ancestors have lived here for generations,” Luol uttered indifferently.
“Immortal Village?” Skyler was astounded. “Could it be that everyone here is immortal?”
“Hahaha! You must be joking, young lady. How could everyone here be immortal? Still, the people inour village tend to live longer, so this place is called Immortal Village,” Luol replied while laughingheartily.
“Grandpa, Grandpa! I want to take a bath!” At that moment, the child ran over and said while tuggingthe corner of Luol's shirt.
“Go ahead.” Luol waved his hand. Subsequently, the child happily jumped into the stream.novelbin
“Why do the people in your village live longer? Are all of you martial arts experts?” Skyler curiously putforth the question.
“That's not the case. It's just that this stream in our village has healing properties. Regardless of theseverity of injuries or even organ failures, one can recuperate after taking a bath in the stream. Thevillagers here enjoy bathing in this stream, so we all got to live long lives,” Luol explained.
Skyler's eyes shone with excitement after she heard that. She turned to Jared and said, “Mr. Chance,did you hear that? This stream seems to have similar properties as the Spring of Regeneration. Maybethe water from the Spring of Regeneration originated from here! I'm going to try it and see if this streamis the same as the spring.”
She made a move to check out the stream as she spoke.
Jared halted her. “Let me take a look instead. After all, I soaked in the spring water for a few days, so Iknow more about the quality of the water than you.”
With that, Jared walked to the edge of the stream and slowly crouched down. Eyes riveted on the clearwater, he gently touched it with his hand.
