A few hours later, Professor Zhou and his group finally returned to Jade Mountain Town with Li Ruochen.
However, what greeted them was not a warm bed or a hot bathroom.
Instead, they were angry residents!
Hundreds and thousands of furious residents of the Western Regions surrounded them.
He looked at the countless angry red eyes.
Zhou Mei's face turned pale.
He didn't understand why this group of hospitable residents were still fine before entering the mountain.
Why did he seem to have changed into a different person after coming out?
Faced with such a situation, Wang Zhao braced himself and stood up.
"Fellow townsman, what are you doing?"
"Kill them! Kill these blasphemous outsiders!”
"That's right! He dared to enter the Holy Mountain without permission and disturb the gods. He was simply unpardonable!”
"Yes! Their actions had angered the Heavenly God, and the avalanche earlier was the Heavenly God's order!”
......
The residents were clamoring, their emotions surging.
Professor Zhou and the others finally knew that their attitude had changed so much.
He could not help but feel uneasy.
At this moment, a few of the staff who had served them yesterday hurriedly squeezed in.
He stood between the expedition team and the residents.
" It's a misunderstanding! This is all a misunderstanding!"
They explained with flushed faces, trying to appease the villagers 'anger.
"These are the members of the expedition team sent by the garrison. They just want to know the truth about what happened at Jade Mountain that night. They didn't go up the mountain on their own.”
However, his words did not have much effect.
The furious residents didn't want to hear any explanation.
They only knew that this group of people had disturbed the Holy Mountain God!
The gods were furious!
An avalanche descended!
What they needed to do now was to appease the anger of the Holy Mountain and the gods!
When the staff of the town realized that the situation was slowly getting out of control, they immediately became anxious!
"Are you trying to rebel?？”
The staff member's words finally worked.
The residents who were clamoring and preparing to attack looked at each other.
They gradually quieted down. Although there was still anger in their eyes, they did not make any more noise.
After all, the label of rebellion was still too big for the residents.
Seeing that his words had worked, the staff heaved a sigh of relief.
He was prepared to strike while the iron was hot and dispel the rage of the residents.
However, this situation did not meet the expectations of some people.
The Western Region was located in the heart of the continent of Asia and Europe. It was bordered by eight countries, including Furious Bear, India, and various Stan countries.
It was an important passage on the ancient Silk Road in history, and its strategic location was very important.
As a result, there were many foreign elements, traitors, and spies in the Western Regions.
The goal was to make the Western Regions independent from Xia Country and to suppress the rise of Xia Country.
If Professor Zhou's expedition team did not have an official identity, they would not have mobilized so many people to deliberately provoke the residents 'anger against them.
However, who knew that the moment Professor Zhou and the others arrived, they would be welcomed and accompanied by the local government staff.
This naturally fell into the eyes of some people.
This was the reason for the anger.
In fact, the so-called entering the mountain privately was not a big deal.
What really angered the locals was the avalanche!
This was especially true when people equated an avalanche with the wrath of the gods.
Only then did the locals truly become angry.
This was also the reason why the staff's first explanation did not work.
In the hearts of the locals.
Secretly entering the mountain was no longer a big deal. The most important thing was how to appease the anger of the Holy Mountain God!
When the staff asked them if they wanted to rebel, the residents started to have misgivings.
Rebellion would lead to bloodshed and death!
One side was their faith, and the other side was their lives.
When the two clashed, they would naturally calm down and think carefully.
The foreigners who were hiding among the residents saw that the staff of the town headquarters were slowly controlling the situation.
He couldn't stand it anymore!
He quickly jumped out and said.
"Even if they didn't enter the mountain on their own, they shouldn't have disturbed the gods. People of Jade Mountain, they angered the gods, but you let them leave safely!
Do you want to bring shame to your ancestors and punish them?？”
The moment these words were said, the anger in everyone's hearts was ignited once again!
Oh no!
When the staff heard this, they felt that something was wrong.
In the Western Regions, bringing shame to one's ancestors and punishing the gods were the most serious humiliations to a person.
With these two hats pinned on him, there was probably no way to settle things peacefully today!
As expected, when they heard this, the eyes of the residents turned red!
"Batur, why are you protecting this group of blasphemous outsiders!”
"Get out of our way, Batur. Do you want to be traitors of the Western Regions?”
"Your actions have brought shame to our ancestors. If you are still a citizen of Jade Mountain, then move aside!”
One of the middle-aged men even pulled out a foot-long short knife from his waist."Batur, I want to duel with you!”
Things were getting out of control.
The man named Batur was sweating profusely.
"Attack!"
After pushing and pushing for a long time, the residents finally couldn't hold it in any longer and prepared to make a move.
At this moment!
The ground suddenly shook!
Immediately after, in the eyes of everyone who was panicking.
A giant made of mud and rocks stood up from the ground with one hand!
Instantly, the mud giant was more than a hundred meters tall, like a giant pillar that reached the sky!
The residents were at a loss at first, but then they knelt on the ground.
With a hint of fanaticism on his face, he shouted,"The gods have appeared! The gods have appeared!"
At this moment, the only people left standing on the field were the members of the expedition team.
They stood out among the kneeling residents like cranes among chickens!
They didn't show much panic when they saw the giant.
He only looked at a strange young man faintly.
The man wearing black sunglasses that covered half of his face.
The man in sunglasses shook his head slightly as he met everyone's gaze.
He signaled them not to say it.
Seeing this, the members of the expedition team were completely relieved.
With this person present!
What did they have to worry about?
Without a doubt, the man in sunglasses was Li Ruochen.
At this moment, he controlled the mud giant to speak.
"These outsiders are my guests. You have to treat them well!”
"We will obey the oracle!"
Territory Citizen Mountain shouted.
After the mud giant disappeared.
Only then did the residents stand up.
At this moment, there was no longer any anger in their eyes as they looked at the expedition team.
Instead, it was fanatical joy!
The middle-aged man who had pulled out his knife and clamored to duel with Batur also changed his expression instantly.
The hand that was holding the knife loosened its grip and reached over."Please come in, please come in! Esteemed guest, please come in."
The biting cold winter from before turned into a spring breeze at this moment.
As he spoke, he turned around and shouted at the residents.
Soon, a group of people rushed out and surrounded everyone.
There was no need to mention the enthusiasm.
Professor Zhou and Professor Li were not used to this kind of enthusiasm.
But he couldn't reject them, so he could only let them do whatever they wanted.
Soon, they were escorted into the inn.
After a comfortable hot bath.
He left the room.
He saw slaughtered lambs by the fire in the backyard, a dazzling array of food, and even a variety of rare Western Region fruits…
More importantly, there were still people, a lot of people.
They didn't know where they came from, and most of them were dressed up.
Then, there was a bonfire party with singing and dancing.
Everyone in the expedition team knew.
Who was the reason why they could receive such a grand treatment?
He couldn't help but look at Li Ruochen, who was keeping a low profile.
