Top-class Bodyguard

Chapter 686 665: The Last Shaman

The situation on the mountain top was very simple, with only two structures: one was a small wooden hut, the other a shrine.

Ren Feng frowned as he walked over.

Could it be that these are the only things on the mountain top?

If that's the case, where is the Yin Spirit Essence Fruit?

This wooden hut is quite rundown. If the one at the foot of the mountain isn't the Origin Ancient Village, then where is the real Origin Ancient Village?

Ren Feng felt a sense of deception.

With a frown, he walked to the front of the wooden hut, took a closer look, and found that this wooden hut was also too ordinary; its furnishings were no different from those in the wooden huts below.

Disappointment filled Ren Feng's face, but suddenly, he sensed a strange feeling!

He took another careful look at the wooden hut, scrutinizing it.

"That's not right, this wooden hut is too quiet, it's like a painting, not a speck of dust inside, which is impossible."

The wooden hut was already dilapidated, and there should have been dust all over the place, but how could it be so clean?

There was something wrong with the wooden hut.

Thinking of this, Ren Feng prepared to enter the hut, but just as he lifted his right foot over the threshold, his entire foot felt as if it stepped into water, with ripples like water waves in the air.

In Ren Feng's eyes, the scene of the wooden hut remained unchanged, and he couldn't even see his foot!

What was going on?

Ren Feng was a bit alarmed; how could this be?

His foot had obviously stepped into the wooden hut.

He retracted his foot, looking at the tranquil wooden hut, slowly reaching out his hand.

When his hand touched the front, suddenly, it felt as if it had plunged into water, like a mirror appearing in the once calm air!

What kind of trick was this?

Ren Feng frowned; despite wandering outside for so long, he had never seen such a bizarre scene. No wonder the old man said he hadn't reached the realm to see other things.

Retracting his hand, Ren Feng took a deep breath and walked straight inside.

Ripples appeared, and Ren Feng felt as if he had passed through a layer of gentle water curtain; his figure disappeared on the mountain top, and when he reappeared, he was shocked by the scene in front of him.

In front of him was a gigantic village!

In front of him was a lively crowd, all dressed in the attire of the Witch Race, extremely bustling; the entire plaza was divided into neat blocks by roads, with strange symbols on the ground of the front plaza; peculiar stone pillars stood on either side.

The sky was vast, and in the distance, the morning sun seemed about to rise, with a large stone platform built from rocks in the front, where Ren Feng could see a man standing, looking at the sunrise.

Could this be another illusion?

Ren Feng looked at the scene before him, feeling extremely surreal; what on earth was going on?

He looked back and found himself emerging from a very beautiful room, equivalent to a portal.

So fascinating.

Ren Feng was in awe and wanted to verify if what he saw was real. He went to touch the surrounding houses and found that they were indeed real!

Ren Feng frowned, colliding intentionally with someone. The person turned around and started talking to Ren Feng, but Ren Feng couldn't understand a single word.

Was this real or fake?

Ren Feng was extremely puzzled now, but just then, he heard a voice calling out.

"Outsider, come here."

Ren Feng directly looked towards the stone platform not far away, eyes brimming with astonishment, then he walked towards the platform.

After some effort, Ren Feng got up on the platform and found the person turned back on him, wearing a white long robe, with black hair flowing down to the waist, dancing with the wind.

"Hello," Ren Feng said.

"Is this sunrise beautiful?" the person asked.

Ren Feng looked at the slowly rising massive sun and nodded: "Very beautiful."

"I know you have many questions." The man turned around with a smile on his face.

This man was very young and extremely handsome.

"First, let me introduce myself, I am Hou Wu, this is the Origin Ancient Village."

Looking at Hou Wu, whose face was full of smiles, Ren Feng took a deep breath.

"I'm Ren Feng, may I ask you a question?"

Hou Wu nodded.

"What I saw before, was it real or fake? Earlier on the rope ladder, and these." Ren Feng gestured towards the village below.

"The scenes on the rope ladder before were false; this here is real," Hou Wu said with a smile.

Ren Feng looked perturbed.

"Outside, I set up an illusion technique, and here, I placed a barrier. This barrier is closed, a continuous cycle," Hou Wu spoke.

"A barrier?" Ren Feng frowned, remembering the elders had mentioned barriers earlier.

"That's right, this barrier doesn't connect with the outside, every day is the same, every day at this time, the sun rises, everything that happens each day is exactly the same," Hou Wu sighed slightly.

"But those people…"

"The village is real, they are fake," Hou Wu said indifferently, waving his hand, suddenly, all the people in the village vanished, replaced by some elderly on the brink of life, lying on chairs, unable to move.

Ren Feng's mind was in chaos; what was this all about?

Hou Wu seemed to have noticed Ren Feng's confusion and began to explain: "This is a method to protect the ancient village, the barrier is like a protective measure, it's quite normal, when your strength advances a few more levels, you will understand."

"As for why I set up this barrier, when you reach a certain realm, you will naturally know."

Ren Feng nodded: "I came here seeking the Yin Spirit Essence Fruit."

"I know, you've already mentioned it," Hou Wu's hair continued flowing, "The shrine next to you is also a barrier, nurturing all kinds of Gu insects inside, along with many heaven and earth treasures, among which is the Yin Spirit Essence Fruit you seek."

Ren Feng's face lit up with joy.

"When you enter the shrine, just place that stone bead on the door."

After saying this, Hou Wu smiled a bit: "Your will is remarkable, should you attain that level in the future, I would like to ask you a favor."

"What is it?"

"If you can reach it while I'm still alive, I will come to find you again," Hou Wu smiled, "Alright, you may go now, don't mention what happened here to others."

Ren Feng nodded, but at this moment his heart was indeed filled with doubts.

Ren Feng descended from the stone platform, seeing this incomparably empty village, he felt a bit uncomfortable. He glanced back at Hou Wu and then exited the barrier.

While Hou Wu sighed lightly, realizing his time was running out.
