Chapter 3989 A Village

Fuxi picked up the Augury Dog when they were passing by the neat row of thatched huts and held him in his arms.

The Augury Dog was sensitive to all kinds of power. Now that they were on the Whining Road, the unpleasant aura around the place was beginning to overwhelm him. He looked sickly and weak.

Every time Fuxi passed by a thatched hut with the dog in his arms, his glassy eyes glinted with obvious hostility.

He probably understood that the things in the thatched huts were too strong for them, so he dared not bark wildly. Instead, he whimpered, trying not to let his voice be obvious.

The Augury Dog continued to whimper as they walked past the first row of thatched huts.

When they reached the end of the first row, Fuxi whispered to him, "Is there a thatched hut available for us?"

The Augury Dog shook his head.

Fuxi and the Snake Goddess exchanged a worried glance.

When they had entered the Whining Road the last time, they had found a thatched hut in the front row pretty easily.

Their luck seemed to have run out this time. All twenty-six thatched huts in the first row were occupied.

"Let's try the second row!"

Fuxi knew there was no time for them to lose. He hurriedly went to the second row with the Augury Dog in his arms.

There were a lot of thatched huts in the second row as well. As before, the Augury Dog sniffed at each thatched hut and tried to find a safe place for them to stay.

But they combed through the second row and the Augury Dog still couldn't find an unoccupied hut.

The Snake Goddess blinked but didn't say a word, while Fuxi's face darkened. "The third row then!" he growled.

The others following them remained silent, but they began to become more worried with every passing minute.

It was true that Fuxi and the Snake Goddess had once made their way to the Supreme Pure Realm through this path. But their previous success now seemed to have stemmed out of sheer luck.

And luck didn't seem to be on their side this time.

If they couldn't find an available thatched hut this time, things would become hard for them — even harder than being under siege on the top of the Sky Ladder Plateau.

There were seven rows of thatched huts in this area, like a large village in a savage land.

Fuxi took the Augury Dog along to check on every thatched hut in the remaining five rows, but to no avail. His face looked

t and had been staring at the pillar. At the Snake Goddess's words, he looked around, his eyebrows raised, and said, "We only need to stay safe for three days?"

The Snake Goddess nodded. "That's all, yes. We'll stay here for three days and after that, we'll return the way we came. We'll then be able to enter the Supreme Pure Realm."

"I didn't know the Whining Road is such an easy path!" Thurston was surprised at the rules. The Eternal Realm Hunters had their own way to reach the Supreme Pure Realm.

In fact, they had more than one way.

But no matter which path they took, they would have to expend full courage and strength.

In contrast, the Whining Road seemed too easy.

"It can't be this simple," Sawyer said, shaking his head. "If this was the case, many more creatures and Eternal Realm warriors would've chosen this path and this path wouldn't be called the strangest of all. Don't forget that there are a bunch of Treacherous Beings outside."

At the mention of the Treacherous Beings, it was as if the light was turned down, given how everyone's faces paled, their hearts sinking within them.

"What on earth is a Treacherous Being?" King Ieuan asked curiously.

Except for Fuxi, the Snake Goddess, and the three Eternal Realm Hunters, no one else knew what their enemies on the Whining Road were or what a Treacherous Being was.

"They have no specific form. They-" The Snake Goddess paused, trying to think up the correct word to describe them. After a while, she said, "It doesn't matter. When it gets darker, you'll be able to see them with your own eyes."
