That voice was very ethereal, and no one knew where it came from.
Chu Yunfeng was shocked. He looked left and right, but he didn't see anyone. However, he somehow knew that it wasn't an illusion and couldn't help but panic."Am I going to die in the hands of the ghosts and deities?”
Amidst his astonishment, a ray of light that looked like a painting suddenly unfolded slowly in front of him. A few lines of words were clearly displayed in the light.

"…" Chu Yunfeng was stunned for a moment." What is this?”
He muttered to himself subconsciously, but there was really a voice that replied faintly.
"This is a trial mission!"
Chu Yunfeng was shocked. He looked left and right and said in panic,"Who is it?"
The voice continued,"Dong Xu."”
Chu Yunfeng tried his best to calm himself down and looked in the direction of the voice. Only then did he realize that the picture scroll formed by the light was not without basis.
It was a jade pendant.
"Are you talking?" Chu Yunfeng was stunned for a moment before he suddenly said angrily," Did you bring me here?”
"Yes, sir!"
"Why?"
"Fate!"
"F * ck!" Chu Yunfeng was even angrier." Fate? Bullshit! I want to go back!"
"Mission activated, irreversible!" The jade pendant that called itself Dong Xu replied in a mechanical voice," You can only return after completing the mission!”
"Mission?" Chu Yunfeng was stunned and looked at the words on the screen." This is it?”
"Yes!"
"What a scam!" Chu Yunfeng was furious." You want me to use the body of a Chinese otaku to fight 25 mounted gangsters?!"! Wasn't there too much of a difference in level when fighting monsters of a higher level?!! Is there a cheat?"
Dong Xu replied in an emotionless voice,""The heavens are vigorous, and a gentleman should constantly strive for self-improvement.”After a pause, he reminded,"Host, you can take ten villagers and escape from here. It will also be considered as completing the mission."”
Chu Yunfeng had been too flustered earlier and hadn't looked at it carefully. Now, he realized that this mission…seemed quite simple.
As long as they could bring the villagers into the mountains before tomorrow night, the bandits would not be able to hurt a single person.
This way, he could avoid this calamity and complete the mission to go home.
But…was it really that simple?
Chu Yunfeng was a little suspicious. If it could be completed so easily, then wouldn't this so-called mission be unnecessary?
Chu Yunfeng pondered for a moment and asked suspiciously,""By the way…what exactly are you?”
"Dongxu!"
Dong Xu replied, but it was just a useless sentence.
"..." Chu Yunfeng rolled his eyes." Then... what's Primordial Jade?"”
He suddenly remembered the mysterious old man who had given him this Hollow Jade Pendant. He remembered the old man's inexplicable question-Little fellow, do you usually like to play online games?
This so-called mission had a main storyline, side quests, completion conditions, mission background, and mission rewards. Wasn't it just like an online game?
The rewards in online games were things like experience points, equipment, and currency. Then what was this Primordial Jade?
"You'll know when the mission is completed," Dong Xu said lightly. It's useless to know if the mission fails!"
Chu Yunfeng hesitated for a moment before asking,""If I can't complete the mission…what will happen?”
Dong Xu threw out a cold answer without hesitation.
"Die!"
“……”
………………
At dawn, Chu Yunfeng rolled out of bed, opened the wooden door, and walked towards the village entrance, facing the cold wind.
He got up so early because he was not used to living in this simple residence and could not sleep even if he wanted to. Secondly, it was because he had a headache.
Abandoning the family business and hiding in the mountains, although it was only for a short night, it was not a small matter.
Without a perfect reason, why would the villagers believe what he said?
He couldn't sleep and tossed and turned for the whole night. He had been thinking about how to inform the villagers of the news that the Horse Gang was coming, but unfortunately, he couldn't think of a perfect reason. Therefore, when he saw the light of dawn, he stood up and walked out.
It was probably around five or six in the morning. In this cold winter, the villagers did not need to work in the fields, so they were all sleeping soundly at home. The small village was quiet. Only the occasional barking of dogs brought a hint of life to this cold winter day.
Chu Yunfeng took a deep breath and nodded in satisfaction.
There was no gray sky or dirty exhaust. This small village at the foot of Taihang Mountain was like a maiden who had not yet married, looking at the gurgling stream with a pure smile.
Here, far away from the desires and hustle and bustle of the city, her heart seemed to have become pure.
For the sake of this peace, he must not let this simple village be stained with blood!
Chu Yunfeng calmed himself down once again. He then carefully walked out of the village on the snow.
The Lin Family Village was located in a valley at the foot of Taihang Mountain, surrounded by mountains. The only way to enter the village was a winding stone road. On both sides of the stone road was a dense bamboo forest. The existence of this bamboo forest made the Lin Family Village even more serene and quiet. It gave off the feeling of a paradise in the mountains.
Chu Yunfeng looked around as he walked, taking note of his surroundings. Unknowingly, they had already reached the end of the stone path and could already see the village entrance.
Just as he was about to walk over to take a look at the world outside the bamboo forest, he suddenly heard the faint neigh of a horse.
Chu Yunfeng was shocked and quickly hid in the bamboo forest to secretly look outside."Could it be that the bandits have already arrived? Didn't he come at night? The village was not prepared at all. If they were to start a war now, it would really be…a narrow escape!”
After waiting for a while, there was no sound coming from outside. Chu Yunfeng thought for a while and slowly walked through the bamboo forest. When he reached the village entrance, he hid behind a thick bamboo and looked outside.
He saw two horses parked on the smooth road outside. The two men on the horses pointed in the direction of Lin Family Village. After a while, the two men pulled the reins and galloped north.
After waiting for a while, the sound of horse hooves became farther and farther until there was almost no sound.
Chu Yunfeng flashed out of the bamboo forest and looked at the disappearing figure in the north. He thought for a while and muttered,""This should be a forerunner, right? Then it seemed that the mission hint was definitely correct. The bandits would definitely come at night. Let's not worry about this for now. Now, there was a correct reason to tell the villagers that the bandits were attacking!”
Chu Yunfeng checked his surroundings again and remembered the surroundings. Then, he pretended to panic and ran into the village, shouting as he ran,"Not good!"
Shrill screams broke the silence of the village, and many villagers were awakened. They opened their doors in a daze and watched in surprise as Chu Yunfeng ran around the village like a madman.
Lin Kui walked out of the house and asked Chu Yunfeng curiously,""Little Chu, what happened?"
" Brother Lin Kui…" Chu Yunfeng panted." There are bandits coming to rob the village tonight…"
"What?" Lin Kui's muddled mind instantly cleared up. He quickly supported Chu Yunfeng, who was almost out of breath." Horse thieves? How did you know?"
" I…I was at the village entrance just now…I heard the two bandits talking…" Chu Yunfeng said with difficulty.
Lin Kui's expression changed drastically. He quickly pulled Chu Yunfeng out and said,""Let's go, quickly come to Uncle An's house with me!"
The Lin family was in the middle of the village, only a few dozen steps away from Lin Kui's house.
Lin Kui knocked on the door of Lin An's house and shouted,""Uncle An, get up quickly. Something big has happened!!”
After a while, the door opened, revealing Snowy's delicate little face. The little loli said to Lin Kui in a daze,""Uncle Kui, what happened?"
"Xiaoxue, where's your grandpa?" Lin Kui asked Lin Xiaoxue anxiously.”
Little Xue 'er was just about to answer when Lin An's voice came from inside the room." Little Kui, come in and talk."”
Lin Kui quickly led Chu Yunfeng into Lin An's bedroom and saw that Lin An had just gotten dressed and was getting out of bed and putting on his shoes.
Lin An's expression immediately changed when Lin Kui told him what had happened. He hurriedly asked Chu Yunfeng,""Little Chu, tell me in detail what you know.”
" I couldn't sleep," Chu Yunfeng said in a panic." I went to the village for a walk. When I reached the village entrance, I heard the neigh of horses and people whispering. I hid in the bamboo forest and secretly overheard the conversation between two people. They seemed to be the Taihang Bandits. They said that a small group of people would come to rob Lin Family Village tonight. They were here to scout the terrain…"
Lin Linan looked at Chu Yunfeng's expression carefully. Seeing that he was panicking, he didn't seem to be lying. He hurriedly went out of the house and called a man in his thirties over, instructing him to go to the village entrance to see if there were any traces.
Chu Yunfeng didn't feel unhappy. After all, this was too important. How could he only listen to a stranger's one-sided words?
After a while, the man ran back from outside, proving that there were really two horses parked outside the village. Moreover, judging from the traces of hooves on the snow, they should have left not long ago.
This time, Lin An was truly panicking. He hurriedly asked the man to call all the young and old people in the village to his house. Dozens of people had solemn expressions on their faces as they discussed a solution. However, even after discussing until late in the morning, they still couldn't come up with a perfect solution.
After all, Chu Yunfeng was an outsider, so it was inconvenient for him to speak. He simply sat in the open space outside the house and wrote and drew. He drew strange pictures according to the environment he had just remembered, as if he was thinking about something.
Although he had made up his mind to let the villagers avoid him for the time being, he had no choice but to think of a solution to the uneasiness in his heart!
