746: C746 River God Gathering

C746 River God Gathering

"Of course we have to go back, it's just that there's no need for all of us to go back together."

Lin Mo laughed.

"I don't know how long it will take for this matter to be resolved. Let's continue forward for a distance and find a suitable place to rest before returning to the village by myself to investigate. If there are any other special discoveries, I will return to discuss them with everyone."

Upon hearing Lin Mo's suggestion, everyone nodded their heads.

Indeed, the most important thing for them to do now was to find a place to stay. Although Lin Mo's storage space could still hold people, it was still empty. Xiao Jin and Calsus were focused on their cultivation and were not affected by it.

But if they were allowed to wait there for news, they would probably suffocate to death.

This place was very remote, so finding a new village to stay in was basically impossible. Everyone had no choice but to find a cave with a shadow facing the sun, and the fifth brother of the Gu family had to change the layout of the cave to make the inner workings.

Lin Mo did not waste any time. After everyone settled in, he immediately transformed into a ball of fire and flew towards the village.

After transforming into a tiny little fireball, basically no one was able to find any trace of Lin Mo.

Thus, Lin Mo did not worry about anything and directly flew into the village along with the wind.

However, what made Lin Mo feel strange was that even though they had already left, the villagers did not return to their own rooms to sleep. Instead, they gathered under the great banyan tree at the back of the village, holding torches as if they were in a meeting.

The old elder sat on a large stone under a tree while the other villagers sat in a circle. They either sat or stood, and all of them had very serious expressions on their faces.

This kind of strange gathering was no different from a village gathering. It was like a gathering of a cult.

Curious, Lin Mo immediately went closer to listen.

"Lord River God has been disturbed once again. I wonder how much rage he will be in this time."

The Village Chief let out a deep sigh and said.

"Village head!" Why didn't we leave those people behind and use them as sacrifices to calm the Lord River God's anger, and make us bear the consequences ourselves? "

Some villagers shouted in indignation.

"Naive! "If we failed to protect Lord River God's territory, that would be our fault. If Lord River God were to blame us, we would be held responsible as well. Can our sincerity be seen from by the fact that we left those people behind as sacrifices?

The village chief knocked the crutch in his hand onto the ground and said angrily.

After being yelled at by the village chief, the villager immediately fell silent and could only lower his head to continue listening.

"Village Chief, what should we do now?" There are no longer any fishermen in the village, nor are there any fishermen. We have no way to communicate with Lord River God.

Everyone was silent for a while, before someone asked again.

The Village Chief stroked his beard, seemingly pondering over something.

The villagers did not disturb him, but waited quietly.

"Sigh …"

The old elder let out a long sigh.

"Since there's no one close enough to the water to act as an emissary and communicate with the River God, we can only choose a few who know how to swim and give it a try …"

When these words were spoken, the villagers immediately burst into an uproar.

Some of them were rejoicing, while some others were gloomy. Some of them silently took a few steps back, afraid that others would see them.

Although this place was no longer a fishing village, there were still some people who could swim here.1

The other villagers seemed to have become strangers. They quickly pushed the six youngsters out of the group, and even backed off a bit, as if they were afraid that if they stood together with them, they would be implicated.

The six youngsters had ashen faces as they looked with fury and resentment at the other villagers behind them.

There were their friends and their families here. These people just now had mercilessly pushed him out just because he met the requirements.

"Young people, the village has raised you all to such a large extent, it's time for you all to contribute to the village."

The village chief scanned their faces one by one and said softly.

"Village head!" Why must it be us! Can't a person who can't swim communicate with the Lord of the River God? "

One of the six did not seem convinced and questioned loudly.

"Nonsense!" To communicate with the River Deity, we naturally have to know how to swim. Otherwise, how can we express our sincerity? How could Lord River God forgive us for our negligence and mistake? "

The village chief immediately blew his beard and glared as he shouted.

"Bullshit!" Whoever wants to go, go! I haven't lived long enough! Even if Lord River God is angered, we will all die together! "

This young man also had a straightforward temper, and directly said.

"Impudent!" Catch him! "

The Village Chief was also furious. His trembling hands even began to swing his walking stick.

Many able-bodied men suddenly stood out from the villagers behind him. They rushed forward with the intention of capturing this young man.

However, the young man was still in the prime of his life. He struggled out of the entanglement of these people and ran away while cursing.

Coincidentally, this young man was escaping in the direction Lin Mo was at.

Lin Mo stood quietly on the spot, waiting. When this young man passed by him, he conveniently placed him in his storage space.

This young man was just a normal human, and didn't have any profound insights. Lin Mo didn't even need his will to admit that he kept him in his storage space.

In the eyes of the crowd, this young man had suddenly disappeared. This scene caused the people chasing after him to jump in fright.

They turned their heads to look at the Village Head in panic, hoping that he would give a reasonable explanation.

The village chief furrowed his brows, but there was no trace of panic on his face. His eyes were incredibly calm.

"See that? This was the result of disrespecting Lord River God! Escaping was something that could never be avoided. If he angered Lord River God, he would be killed by the almighty God of Light! Do you dare to go against the decision of the village? "

The village chief raised his hands high up and announced in a loud voice.

The other unlucky youngsters were immediately frightened out of their wits. They kneeled on the ground and shook their heads, indicating that they would definitely respect the Village Head's arrangements.

The other villagers were also frightened to the point of kneeling on the ground, and they couldn't stop praying to the River God, hoping that he would calm his anger.

"Damn, he's going to start brainwashing just like that?"

Seeing this scene, Lin Mo felt both angry and amused.

In such a remote place, there really were people who dared to use threats and coercion to stir up trouble here.

Lin Mo stared at the village chief, his eyes filled with killing intent.
