Chapter 104: Star-Chasing Journey (Twenty-Four)

The strange fog rolled in and the stars hung upside down.

Although I don’t know where I should go, I always have to explore whether I can get out.

This time, even Liu Sheng couldn't rely on the perception of the little tentacles to determine the direction, because there were premonitions of strange creatures everywhere.

The baby tree was so scared that it clung to Liu Sheng and hugged Liu Sheng's arm with its little hands.

"Aren't you Jianmu? Even among those 'aliens', your level should be very high. Shouldn't you be mentally suppressed?" Liu Sheng asked in a low voice.

"But I'm still young! I can feel that there are many powerful guys here, and many terrible things are coming. Of course, if you give me more delicious food, water and fertilize me more diligently so that I can grow up quickly, these people will not be my opponents!"

The baby tree had a frightened look on its face at first, but as it spoke it became more brazen.

Liu Sheng rubbed the tender leaves on her head and ignored her.

She had many guesses in her mind, but she would have to wait until the next time the stars aligned to confirm them.

Therefore, she must live until then.

But if, as Wawashu said, there are many powerful monsters here, with eight monster hunters and seven ordinary people, it might not be as easy as Chen Shanyuan thought.

As I walked aimlessly, I suddenly heard a burst of noisy music coming from the black fog.

To call it music is an exaggeration, because it has no tune and sounds like just random playing of various instruments or singing.

Among them, the sounds of suona are particularly ear-catching, piercing through the black fog and leaving turbid, sharp and harsh traces, with broken sounds from time to time. Although it reveals the player's lack of skill, after listening to it for a long time, one actually feels a bit sad and mournful.

"Didn't you say you saw some villagers playing suona together in the village?" Yu Jinling recalled what Chen Shanyuan and the others had said, "Could it be them?"

If it really is them, then at least they are still human and should be able to communicate.

Following the sound, it gradually became clearer, but also more and more harsh and strange.

Liu Sheng couldn't help but stretch out two small tentacles to cover his ears, and the others also raised their hands to cover their ears.

In the dense, damp and cold fog, some blurry figures gathered together, twisting their bodies happily and strangely, playing something.

When I got closer, I saw that they were a dozen elderly people in simple clothes.

Several people holding suonas, some playing erhu, and some beating gongs and drums actually formed a decent percussion instrument band, but the sounds of their performance were absurd and unrestrained.

"Yes, it's them, the suona band we saw last time." Chen Shanyuan carefully identified them, "But why are there so many other instruments?"

“It’s Shanyuan!”

An old man saw Chen Shanyuan coming, stopped playing the suona with a happy look on his face, and raised his sleeve to wipe the saliva from the corner of his mouth.

"Boss, look quickly, it's Shanyuan!" said another old lady, patting an old man next to her who was beating a leather drum ignorantly.

The old man raised his head, revealing his dark gums and smiled at Chen Shanyuan.

"Hey, there's also Bowen!"

Kuang Bowen was pulled over by the enthusiastic old man.

"And there's Jun'an, the fair-skinned young man." Several aunts came up and rubbed Lu Jun'an's face. Liu Sheng was a little dumbfounded. It seemed that the last time Chen Shanyuan and the others had a simple conversation with the villagers of Yuzhou Village, they were almost integrated into it.

Kuang Bowen finally got rid of the enthusiastic aunts. Seeing everyone's curious and gossiping looks, he said in a low voice a little embarrassedly: "This is the effect of the captain's personal collection of strange objects, ahem, the aura of a charmer."

Oh I got it!

But no one expected that this heartthrob halo would be used on a group of elderly people.

"Why did you bring so many people here?" The old man who spoke first asked Chen Shanyuan, and said cheerfully, "Are you here specifically to observe how we summon aliens?"

"Well, yes, we thought that with more audiences the effect might be better." Seeing Chen Shanyuan's forehead covered with sweat, Kuang Bowen quickly explained for him.

"You guys are really thoughtful." An auntie playing the erhu smiled like a flower. The second head sticking out from her shoulder also smiled and said, "You young guys from outside are really smart. These old guys don't understand at all."

"That's right, you said that the aliens came down to listen to our performance. If there were no audience, it would be so embarrassing. They would think that our space village did not welcome them." The first head echoed.

"Go away, go away, what do you know? To welcome aliens, just be sincere. I believe they understand too." The old man was unhappy and argued.

Another old man also said: "Didn't Professor Tang welcome the aliens by himself back then? Did the aliens say anything?"

"Maybe this is why the aliens no longer come?" Song Ru whispered in the back.

"You little girl! What are you talking about!" These old people were not deaf and immediately started cursing excitedly.

Liu Sheng noticed that there was even murderous intent in their eyes.

"Don't talk nonsense, go to the back!" Chen Shanyuan seemed to be scolding, but in fact he was defending Song Ru. He turned around and apologized to the old people, "Don't mind it, old people, she is mentally ill."

"If you have a mental illness, don't run around. Stay in the Universe Village and read more about Professor Tang's deeds. Maybe you will get better." An old lady was soft-hearted and shook her head and sighed.

Song Ru rolled her eyes widely, taking advantage of the cover of the crowd behind.

Wen Weilan also quietly rolled her eyes at her. Although Song Ru was a potential troublemaker, she hadn't done anything in this space, and had no chance to act quietly.

"Okay, let's stop talking." The old man who led the group also lost interest in chatting with them. "Let's continue with our new song. The aliens may not like the previous songs, so they didn't come."

"Of course, the location also matters. This is a holy place for star-chasing. It should be better than our performance in the village." said the two-headed aunt.

"Excuse me, old man, what is a holy place for star-chasing?" Liu Sheng took the initiative to interrupt.

"You kid, why are you here?" The two-headed aunt squinted at her. "This is where Professor Tang successfully summoned aliens. It is said that this is the place closest to the starry sky."

"So that's it!" Liu Sheng nodded after getting the answer.

"We don't know where our tour guide went. He didn't even explain the tour to us. We almost missed the holy place."

"Oh, you mean Mingzhu. She is indeed a little lazy. She is a doctoral student at a prestigious university and wanted to do experiments with Professor Tang, but Professor Tang refused. He also asked her to be a tour guide for a tour group, and she had to lead so many groups at the same time. She must have felt uncomfortable..."

Then the aunt heard others calling her to go back and play the erhu. One head responded, and the other head said to Liu Sheng, "Oh, let's not talk about it anymore. It won't delay things. You can just watch from the side."

Everyone was indeed curious about what they were going to do. Didn’t Li Mingzhu tell them to follow the example of the people in Universe Village? Now was the perfect opportunity.
