Chapter 229: The Frightening Old Woman
The old woman pointed in his direction, and a smile appeared on her wrinkled face.
But this smile, in Taylor's eyes, was better than no smile at all.
It was too stiff!
Was it because he was getting older?
He kept feeling that something was wrong!
Taylor stared at this smile, and he kept feeling terrified.
In order to calm himself down, he hurriedly averted his gaze and looked in the direction the old woman pointed.
Left, right, third...
Taylor took a look and then turned around to thank her.
"No need, no need."
In the face of his thanks, the old woman suddenly smiled very happily for some unknown reason. This made Taylor quite puzzled.
He felt that he had to leave this old woman as soon as possible.
Otherwise, he really would not be able to hold on any longer.
Taylor said goodbye to the old woman and then walked towards the place the latter said.
Ka ka ka.
Taylor did not see it.
After he turned around, the old woman who had been staring at his back suddenly stiffened. Then, she opened her mouth and smiled, her gaze extremely strange.
Not only that, when the old woman smiled...
Her mouth was not filled with a normal tongue and mouth, but filled with straw!
She was obviously not a living person!
However, Taylor did not see this terrifying scene because his back was facing her.
He believed that if he saw it, he would definitely be terrified.
...
"On the right, the third one."
"The third one..."
Taylor walked to the fork in the road and immediately saw the room that belonged to the old woman.
Just as he was about to take a step forward.
As a mage, his sixth sense was even sharper. Suddenly, he subconsciously looked in the direction where he came from.
Just this one glance.
Taylor almost cried out in shock.
He saw the old woman smiling at him.
If it was just a simple smile, that would be fine. The key point was that this old woman's smile was very terrifying. Her face was shriveled and shriveled. When she opened her mouth to smile, it was very strange. However, he seemed to see that this old woman's mouth seemed to be full of grass!
F*ck!!
Taylor's body trembled in an instant, and a trace of fear flashed through his eyes.
He squeezed his eyes and looked over once more.
The old woman was still staring at him and smiling.
Taylor took a deep breath and hurriedly went overboard.
If this continued, he would really go crazy.
However, although he turned his head, he could still see from the corner of his eyes that the old woman's posture had not changed. She was still staring at him and smiling.
F*ck!
What's wrong with this old woman!!
This is too weird!!
After he left this place, he had to ask Lord Garros.
Moreover, if he had known that this place was so scary, he would have asked Lord Garros to bring another person over. Now that he was alone, he really could not hold on.
Taylor shook his head and forced himself not to pay attention to that old woman.
After he took a few steps forward, a house blocked his view. He could no longer see the old woman.
Whoosh!
This time, Taylor heaved a sigh of relief.
He swore that if he saw the old woman again later, he would definitely go around her!
Taylor shook his head and walked to the village chief's door and knocked.
Creak.
The door was pulled open.
A head with white hair poked out from inside. It was an old man.
"You are?"
After seeing Taylor's face, the old man was stunned for a moment before walking out to ask.
When the village chief walked out of the room.
Taylor saw that the old man's body was actually similar to that of the old woman. His skin was deathly pale as if there was no flesh and blood in it at all.
Strange!
Could it be that the people of Hoke Village were all like this?
Taylor was very puzzled, but he still hurriedly asked, "you are the village chief here, right?"
"That's right!"
The old man nodded. "What's the matter?"
"It was Lord Garros who sent me here. He wants to ask the village chief how much progress you've made. Also, before I came, Lord Garros told me to help bring some over first."
Taylor immediately said.
Although this old man in front of him was just an ordinary person in his opinion, Taylor felt that since this person had connections with Lord Garros, he was definitely not someone he could afford to offend, so his attitude was very respectful.
However, he did not realize it.
After he said these words, the village chief opposite him was also stunned for a moment. Then, an inexplicable light flashed in his eyes.
"Got it."
The old village chief nodded. "Follow me."
The old village chief then walked out of the room and walked towards the mountain behind the village.
Taylor had been following behind the old village chief the whole time.
It had to be said.
First, it was the old woman, and now it was this old village chief.
These two people gave Taylor the same feeling. He always felt that these two people were not living people at all, but more like half-dead people. Not to mention anything else, just looking at them walking gave people a very strange feeling.
His limbs were stiff, and his speech was stuffy as if there was something stuck in his throat.
The old village chief brought him to a cave.
After walking into the cave, Taylor saw a large number of stones.
He could feel that these stones contained very strange energy.
What was this thing?!
Taylor was very surprised.
At this time, the old village chief said, "go back and tell Lord Garros that it's almost done."
Then, he saw the old village chief pick out a few stones from among the stones and handed them to him. "These are the things that Lord Garros wants. Keep them well and don't lose them."
So it was this stone!
Taylor was very surprised.
What exactly was this stone that Lord Garros had taken a fancy to.
Of course, Taylor did not ask much.
If it was time for him to know, Lord Garros would naturally tell him.
Now that Taylor had completed his task, he was ready to leave. He walked to the entrance of the cave and directly cast a flying spell to fly into the distance.
But he did not know.
The moment he entered the cave, a palm-sized scarecrow burrowed itself into his body.
Not only that.
After Taylor left, the old man who looked old actually gave him a very strange smile.
...
"I've finally left that village."
In mid-air, Taylor let out a huge sigh of relief.
Previously in that village, the old woman and the village chief had given him too much pressure.
Speaking of which, he also felt that he was very laughable.
A C rank mage, even in the Mage Association, was not a weak existence. Just now, he was actually frightened by two ordinary people consecutively.
Taylor felt that it was very ridiculous.
But at this time, he noticed something else.
"So light."
Taylor was carrying a large bag in his hand, feeling very surprised.
When he had just gotten it, he had clearly felt that it was very heavy. Now, it actually felt lighter as it flew.
Forget it.
He did not think too much about it.
After all, he had never seen a stone before.
Perhaps this was the characteristic of this stone!
The most important thing now was to quickly meet up with Sir Garros and the others.
Thinking of this, Taylor sped up.
