stood a Fountain Square featuring a
statue of a fisherman holding a fishing
rod his face adorned with a benevolent
smile seemingly welcoming their arrival
Gian G compared the fishing rod she
retrieved from her backpack belonging to
GLE to the one depicted in the Statue
they were identical could it be that
lelay has been captured by the villagers
y shaen interjected suddenly only to be
met with dissent from the others let us
refrain from jumping to conclusions
perhaps the villagers can provide us
with some Clues Gian G suggested leading
the way toward The Village's Center yet
they had yet to encounter a single
villager it's odd that we haven't seen
anyone despite the smoke rising from the
chimneys tangan remarked prompting
silence among the group let us move
together and search further inside the
four of them ventured deeper into the
village with Dudu and sha F scouting
ahead they walked along the stone path
observing the architectural style of the
houses the buildings exuded a sense of
antiquity suggesting that this Village
had existed for quite some time Gian G
nodded in agreement noting the ancient
materials and craftsmanship as if this
Village were a place forgotten by time
they to delve deeper into the village
yet curiously despite the apparent
habitation they encountered no villagers
this bizarre scenario stirred unease
within giangi do you all feel that
something is a miss here she whispered
Tang Yin furrowed his brow indeed it is
too quiet here uncomfortably so Chun
xingang scanned the surroundings his
eyes betraying a hint of weariness it is
best to remain cautious there may be
dangers unknown to us chapter 395 the
sacrif offcial ceremony the four of them
proceeded weily when suddenly they heard
hurried footsteps approaching they
turned toward the sound and spotted an
elderly villager striding toward them
his age apparent yet his gat steady and
vigorous who are you what brings you
here the Villager inquired a note of
caution in his voice Gian G assessed the
Villager identifying him as Chi Jun a
native of this village with no special
status Chun xingang politely addressed
himk good sir we are searching for
someone named jiu do you have happened
to know her a flicker of impatience
crossed Chi junun face there is no one
by that name here if there is nothing
else you should leave there are pressing
matters in the village today deoni
observed that Chi junk reaction was
somewhat unusual although his tone was
impatient there seemed to be something
concealed within his gaze she resolved
not to directly inquire about jiu to
avoid eliciting further suspicion from
him sir we have journeyed from afar and
by a twist of fate arrived here we are
deeply intrigued by this Village could
you share with us its story Gian adopted
a different approach attempting to ease
his weariness Chi Jun hesitated
momentarily his eyes scanning the four
of them as if assessing their
trustworthiness very well I shall share
some information with you this Village
is known as Tan Village we have lived
here for several centuries isolated from
the world and self-sufficient our
ancestors sought Refuge from the chaos
and conflicts of War finding this
secluded Haven Chi Jun began to narrate
Tan Village Gian pondered whether it had
any direct connection to taluan Island
then why do we see no one in the village
Chi Jun weily observed the four
individuals before him at that moment
Dudu and sha F were concealed lest they
attract his attention everyone is
gathered at the altar today marks the
annual sacrificial Festival of Tan
Village upon hearing this giangi felt a
stir of excitement within her the
sacrificial Festival might present an
excellent opportunity to engage with
more of The Village's residents sir we
are quite interested in your sacrificial
Festival May we be permitted to attend
