Han Xuehai frowned and stopped Han Xuemei, saying gravely, "Regardless of the reason, we are all in the same boat now, we should help each other. We haven’t even started exploring yet, and if we fight each other first and end up hurting both sides, wouldn’t that make our opponents laugh their heads off?"
Pausing for a moment, Han Xuehai glared at Han Xuemei and said, "Whether the life-extending item exists or not is still unknown. Is it worth fighting over?"
"Keep moving!"
Lin Chen set off with a calm expression, as everything in the Underground City was filled with unknowns. In this situation, sticking together was obviously the best temporary strategy.
Before the Han Family members did anything excessive, Lin Chen would abide by the agreement previously proposed by Han Xuehai. After all, Lin Chen was recommended by Han Xuecheng, and he didn’t want to put him in an awkward position by causing conflict with the Han Family Team.
The group traveled some distance in the wilderness and arrived at a small village. The five of them carefully entered the village, looking around in amazement.
There were blue brick and tile houses and mud wall and straw houses. The architectural style was not much different from what the people knew, but in some minor details of the buildings, one could see some unique designs. Upon closer inspection, it seemed as if these were carvings of fierce beasts, but no one could discern what kind they were.
Han Xuegong looked around at the houses: "It seems that there is also a wealth gap in this Unknown Land. Some people live in blue brick houses with courtyards, while others live in mud wall and straw houses. This village looks just like the ones we usually see, except it has a bit more of an ancient feel and lacks modern elements like steel and glass."
Han Xuehai strode forward and casually replied, "Where there are people, there are gaps between the rich and the poor and classes. It’s been this way since ancient times, and there’s no escape from it."
The group entered a nearby blue brick house and started a room-by-room
Everyone excitedly continued searching and found two more medicinal materials and a box containing medicine pills. The box bore the name Wuling Pill, and inside was a red pill the size of a pigeon egg. However, no one knew what the pill’s function was.
After completing the search, the group returned to the entrance. Han Xuehai glanced at the scattered houses hidden in the darkness and looked at Lin Chen. Hesitating, he said, "If we continue acting together, it will be too time-consuming. Let’s split up. Each of us searches separately. If there’s any danger, shout out, and the others will come to help as soon as possible."
Lin Chen naturally had no objections. Even if Han Xuehai hadn’t suggested it, Lin Chen would have done so himself. Otherwise, any gains from working with the Han Family would not include Lin Chen’s share.
Since he had come inside, he didn’t want to be just a spectator.
Han Xuehai looked at his watch and said, "After searching the entire village, let’s meet back here in three hours."
"All right!"
The four Han family members quickly rushed towards the other large blue brick and tile houses in the center of the village, while Lin Chen headed for the house next door without competing with them.
After walking for a while, Lin Chen stopped and looked back, somewhat puzzled. He used his flashlight to search around, but there was no sign of anything unusual. The surroundings were dead silent.
Lin Chen furrowed his brows. Why did he feel as if he was being watched?
Was it just his imagination?
