Chapter 2690
"You want to ask why we in Nipan Village are unwilling to use this token to leave this world?"
The old man asked rhetorically.
Zhou Yuan nodded, this old man was a monster who had lived for who knows how many years.
"When you come back, I will tell you the answer. Of course, the premise is that you can come back alive!"
The old man said with a smile.
"It's a fair deal."
Zhou Yuan stood up and nodded to the old man.
At least that's the case on the surface, Zhou Yuan added in his mind.
Enter the place of narrow escape and find precious items in exchange for the Coiling Dragon Token in the old man's hand.
This is indeed very fair to Zhou Yuan.
He didn't think there was anything wrong with the other party's request.
Although the old man could completely lend himself the token to get himself out of this place.
In this way, those people before will not die here.
But nothing is free in this world. Free gifts and fair transactions are both acceptable to Zhou Yuan.
Even prefer the latter.
Leaving the main building, Zhou Yuan found that Qingyue's father, named He Mo, was still waiting downstairs.
"You agreed?"
he asked.
"Yes, it's a fair deal."
Zhou Yuan nodded.
He also nodded and said softly: "Come with me."
After Zhou Yuan left the main building, the old man put the Panlong Token back on the shelf and got a disc-shaped object on the upper floor.
"More than two hundred and sixty years..."
The old man was sitting on the futon, looking at something like a compass, lowering his head in thought and whispering.
"The legendary great change has finally come, and we Ni tribe will return to the human world and take charge of the sky!"
The old man suddenly laughed softly, like a monster that had been dormant for more than two hundred years and would one day come out.
"Zhou Yuan! Do you really want to go to the secret realm in the back mountain with us?"
Qingyue looked at Zhou Yuan in surprise at the dinner table and shouted.
Zhou Yuan didn't understand where the other party's joy came from, so he just nodded silently.
The food in this world is cooked in the same way as where we came from.
Except for some slight differences in condiments, the difference is naturally the ingredients.
Fish meat is a monster in the river of blood.
In addition, there are other meats that Zhou Yuan has never heard of.
As for the vegetables, they should be grown by yourself, and they are also of unknown varieties.
"How many people will enter the secret realm?"
Zhou Yuan turned to look at He Mo, who was sitting in the main seat.
"There are thirty people every year, and including you, there are thirty-one."
"Then how many people can come out?"
Zhou Yuan asked.
"Bang!"
He Mo's wife, a woman wearing a simple gray cloth, placed her chopsticks heavily on the table and left the table.
"Three people!"
He Mo glanced at his wife and looked at Zhou Yuan, saying with neither joy nor sorrow.
Zhou Yuan already knew before that He Mo was also one of the people who entered the secret realm of the back mountain this time.
There is no other reason. The thirty people every year are selected from the prime of life who are over forty years old.
Young people, on the one hand, are not strong enough, and on the other hand, they still have a lot of time to have children.
Although people after the age of 40 can still have children, it is the most cost-effective option anyway.
Zhou Yuan nodded slightly, looking thoughtful.
"It's been more than two hundred years, right? It's been like this every year?"
he asked tentatively.
He Mo did not respond this time, but looked at Qingyue and said softly: "Go and persuade your mother."
