Chen Miao stared expressionlessly into the dark space under the bed. Although he wasn't the most experienced Secret Explorer, he had been through his fair share of such ordeals. Since Little He had warned them that the village would be restless at night,
it was only normal for something to crawl out from under the bed after dark.
He had actually planned to saw off the four legs of the bedstead to make it feel safer to sleep in, but after some thought, he dismissed the idea. Firstly, doing so might make the village chief dislike him even more.
And that would make it harder to win his approval.
However, without the chief's approval, it meant he couldn't clear the Secret Realm and would have to die here.
The village chief had become a crucial figure.
While Chen Miao stood pondering on the spot, he heard voices outside the window. Instinctively, he walked over, pulled back the curtain, and looked out through the glass. That glance made him freeze.
The room was tidy.
