Chapter 1113: Chapter 632: Still Eating? You’re Coming With Us! (Part 2)

After eating and drinking their fill, the sky had darkened... they were about to endure the coming night.

This was going to be the most thrilling night they had ever faced.

Because it was known that... the Mouse Servants would initiate a [Gnawing] attack once they fell asleep.

"So, it’s best not to rest tonight..."

That was Yang Genshuo’s opinion, but many of the Yang Family descendants within thought otherwise.

"Our bodies are already weary. If we don’t rest... tomorrow, we might be in poor status. Perhaps we can take turns resting, so the Mouse Servants will see that some of us are awake and might not attack."

"I agree with Miss Yang Zhu’s view."

Yang Zhu’s idea gained the approval of the sixth Puzzle Solver, fitting his conservative identity.

Some Puzzle Solvers also believed that the inn was inherently unsafe; the threat was not just those 20 Mouse Servants who would attack while they slept, but also the large number of ’Man-Eating Rats’ in the back room...

"They devour flesh for sustenance and are surely interested in us. If they surround us... our situation would be extremely dangerous. A gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall; we need to find a different place to sleep tonight."

The 18th Puzzle Solver was adamant that they needed to find a safer place to sleep.

"I’ll go outside to find a safe place... wait for me to return."

After nightfall, he took his Puppet and went out, searching for another place they could reside.

Time passed...

The 18th Puzzle Solver did not return.

The small team realized... something might have happened.

A descendant of the Yang Family hurriedly reported to the ancestors, and Yang Genshuo looked at the gray fog outside, seeing nothing, and could only sigh.

"Let’s wait... perhaps he encountered something unexpected. For now, let’s not go out."

Yang Genshuo shared this news with the others, leaving everyone with a heavy heart.

"Out in the deep night, the pitch-black wilderness might be more terrifying than the Mouse Servants at the inn..."

"This is a world filled with unknowns; every choice and action we make might result in irreversible consequences."

"Staying at the inn during the deep night and not going out might be a rule of this story..."

The Puzzle Solvers summarized their experiences, and the majority decided against venturing out.

Though the inn with its dangerous Man-Eating Rats and Mouse Servants was perilous, it was at least predictable, while everything outside had to be recalculated.

However, among those who entered this time, there was another group that was not at the inn at all.

Yang Minke, Yang Minxiao, and 8 members of the Sky Dragon Army.

This group was the purest, consisting of 2 officers and 8 soldiers, and they were very familiar with each other.

They maintained the style of the Sky Dragon Army here.

Yang Minke gave orders, and the others were responsible for executing them.

Yang Genshuo originally paid close attention to this team to prevent them from making many mistakes, thinking that without the help of a Puzzle Solver, they might not be able to use their wisdom to navigate this story.

But Yang Minke was entirely different from those Puzzle Solvers. His thought process... veered onto a strange path.

A path that even Yang Genshuo was unsure about.

They were... planting crops.

While others were trying to reach the Capital, Yang Minke went in the opposite direction, found some crop seeds in nearby villages, then... directly started planting crops in the fields on the spot.

"Our spiritual power and magic can be used, so perhaps our skills can be used more effectively."

"Since we were tasked with escorting grain to the Capital, why not just plant some ourselves in this world?"

"Rather than seeking out and gathering dangerous grains on the road, we can prepare and then set out to avoid more dangers."

"By using our cultivators’ Spiritual Plant Technique to expedite these ordinary crops, they can mature in a few weeks what would normally take a year... We still have three months, and then we can travel without stopping! Maybe even faster."

The Puzzle Solvers were looking for ways to solve puzzles, while Yang Minke simply ignored them, planted, and planned to boldly rush to the Capital.

What inn Mouse Servants?

Never heard of them!

If there are countless dangers ahead, I just won’t go.

Yang Genshuo was shocked when he first learned of Yang Minke’s idea.

"Can it be done this way?"

Is the traditional planting gene of the Danai Empire so deeply ingrained?

Even Li Minsi, the head of the Spirit Plant Department, can’t plant like you.

And Yang Minke not only wanted to plant... he also started building.

"Rather than trust the houses in this world, let’s build one ourselves. The Sky Dragon Army requires everyone to have 10,000 [Standard Building Blocks] in their Storage Ring, and with the ten of us pooling them, we can build a temporary fortress right here. I’ll use the Mountain Shifting Technique to seal this spot, guarding our planting base..."

"With such defenses, we can handle troubles with ease."

Earth and Wood fellow, terrifying as such!

Going to Legendary Lands, first build a house.

Earth and Wood Spirit Root Yang Minke truly maximized his strengths.

So that night, while others were tossing and turning on the hard beds of the inn, Yang Minke and his group were already staying in their comfortable self-built house.

Even when some strange beasts came to attack them at night... they were easily blocked by the fully fortified fortress, providing an extra meal for everyone.

"This is truly enjoying life..."

For a moment, Yang Genshuo wondered... could this be the standard story process?

Plant crops first, and then set off?

And those already at the inn, deep into the night, dared not wander around. The missing 18th Puzzle Solver served as their example...

Time slowly passed.

At midnight.

The various squads heard rustling noises, something was circling their houses.

"Hiss~ They’re here."

The Mouse Servants, lying flat on the ground like giant rats, sneakily watched outside to see if these people had fallen asleep.

The tension inside reached its peak.

After circling for a while and seeing the people inside still awake, the Mouse Servants left disappointedly.

That night, the Mouse Servants came several times, but with people always on guard, they never found an opportunity, and finally refrained from attacking.

Yang Genshuo’s foresight that the Mouse Servants would attack during sleep time spared everyone from a catastrophe.

Early the next morning, as daylight broke, most teams chose to leave the inn and continue onward.

"Hmm? Are we leaving? But there are so many mysteries within this inn, and to leave without understanding them seems too confusing, doesn’t it?"

Yang Zhu didn’t quite understand the conservative sixth one.

She actually sought fortune and opportunity.

"That will be our task for the next time we come; this time... my mission is to protect you all to the story’s conclusion and get out safely—this is my only goal."

"But..."

"Miss Yang Zhu, your identity is noble, and you must not fall into harm. Please understand..."

The sixth one persuaded again, and the other younger siblings agreed, as it was exceedingly dangerous to them, not wishing to experience the unnerving feeling of being watched by the Mouse Servants again deep in the night.

Ultimately, Yang Zhu could only reluctantly nod.

"Let’s go."

They continued their journey towards the Capital.

Meanwhile, in another place, a completely different conversation was unfolding.

"We need to uncover the story of the inn before leaving."

Yang Qiangjin was daring and unafraid of the mice.

Having reached her realm, she had comprehended some wonders of the Nascent Soul Stage and Space Techniques, and her abilities went far beyond mere combat, encompassing many other means.

She was qualified to investigate this place.

"As you wish, based on the information from this night, I roughly understand the complete story of the inn... it’s time to verify."

Nine, who loved adventure, and Yang Qiangjin hit it off.

Her daughter, Li Minsi, had already brought the others outside the inn, ensuring their safety.

Bam!

The inn’s door was kicked open by Nine!

The Mouse Servants, eating breakfast, stared in astonishment at the two who had returned.

"Still eating!? Here to get you all!"
