"What?"
Professor Qin and the team members behind him were immediately taken aback, then they all showed expressions of surprise and disbelief!
"Did we really find that small village?!"
They belonged to a geographical exploration team from the Dragon Kingdom.
And they were a team with the highest level of exploration.
Just two years ago.
By chance, Professor Qin saw a piece of news that didn't seem very noteworthy.
The news reported that a shepherd boy lost a black sheep and wanted to go into the Mountains of Wan Ancestors to search for it.
As a result, when the boy entered, he unexpectedly saw a small village with wisps of smoke rising and sounds of reading coming from within.
However, just as the boy wanted to enter the village to find out more, he suddenly blacked out and fell to the ground.
When the boy woke up, he found himself back at home, unharmed, and the lost black sheep had returned with him.
At the time, when this news came out, it only caused a small ripple online and didn't have much impact on public opinion.
After all, it was already the 21st century; one had to believe in science.
But Professor Qin didn't believe that this news was fabricated out of thin air to attract attention and traffic.
Professor Qin firmly believed that what the boy saw must be real!
Perhaps there really existed an unknown small village in the Mountains of Wan Ancestors!
After all, the Mountains of Wan Ancestors had been mysterious since ancient times, with many phenomena that couldn't be explained by science!
Therefore, nearing his sixties, Professor Qin personally organized an exploration team.
And over the past two years.
Using the pretext of geographical exploration, Professor Qin led this team to traverse every peak of the Mountains of Wan Ancestors, hoping to find that small village himself.
Even just catching a distant glimpse to confirm that the news wasn't false would be enough to satisfy Professor Qin.
Unfortunately, over the past two years, this exploration team had found nothing, with every attempt ending in failure.
Yet, today!
Just as this team was about to circle around the base camp and had no hope of finding anything, they suddenly discovered the small village?
This made Professor Qin so excited that tears of joy streamed down his face!
"Quick! Let me see!!"
Then, Professor Qin rushed forward and snatched the binoculars from the vice captain's hand, aiming to look at the distant scenery.
Sure enough!
He spotted the small village at a glance.
It had spacious courtyards with people living in them, nestled against the mountains and by the water, with beautiful scenery.
There were classrooms for lessons, with white walls and black tiles, exuding an ancient charm.
There were also wisps of smoke rising, filling the air with the warmth of human life.
Additionally, Professor Qin saw several indistinct figures.
Some were sitting motionless on a bridge, seemingly doing nothing.
Others were bending over in the fields to plant rice.
Or running on a treadmill...
Due to the distance, the details of those figures were not clear at the moment.
Even so, Professor Qin's hands holding the binoculars began to tremble uncontrollably.
He was so excited!
It was truly overwhelming!
After searching for this small village for two years, he thought he would never find it again.
Who would have thought that after the dark comes light?
They really found it?!
"It's true! Everything that news article said is real!!
There really is a small village hidden in these Kunlun Mountains, and we discovered it!
Haha! This is wonderful! So wonderful, haha…"
As Professor Qin adjusted the binoculars, he exclaimed excitedly.
The other team members, hearing Professor Qin personally confirm this matter, felt an unparalleled excitement and thrill!
They even started hugging each other, crying tears of joy, celebrating this incredibly rare moment!
"Wuwuwu, heaven has mercy, we finally found that small village!"
"The time and effort spent over these two years were finally not in vain!!"
"Yes! After we return, we can finally give the higher-ups a satisfactory explanation!"
Hearing the cheers coming from behind him, Professor Qin's old face also revealed a happy and satisfied smile.
For the past two years, he has borne countless criticisms and has faced skepticism from colleagues and the outside world in his quest to find this small village.
Some friends even urged him to stop dreaming and said it was just a news story created to attract attention; it couldn't possibly be real!
Even if we take a step back and say there really is a small village in the Mountains of Wan Ancestors, it would be a dilapidated village with no inhabitants.
After all, until now, no one has discovered any living people within the Kunlun Mountains.
The geographical magnetic field inside is also very strange!
Anyone who enters will inexplicably faint and then be transported out by an inexplicable force.
Yet, Professor Qin remained stubborn, insisting on finding that small village.
Now he has finally realized this wish.
When he returns to the research institute, he can make those who have been insulting and questioning him shut their mouths!
Professor Qin can even imagine how terrifying the media frenzy will be when this discovery is made public!
Describing it as "the whole nation is in an uproar" wouldn't be an exaggeration!
Thinking of this, Professor Qin was so excited that he threw his head back and roared, then waved his hand happily, saying, "Let's go! We all need to go into the village and see! Maybe there are traces of deities that once existed inside…"
Deities!!!
Upon hearing this word, the vice captain and other team members all brightened with excitement, as if they had been given a shot of adrenaline, becoming even more thrilled!
Without any hesitation, they followed right behind, unable to resist discussing among themselves.
"Do you think there will really be relics of deities inside?"
"Please, girlfriend, bless me! I hope to see a deity; even if I end up as a bad person…"
"Peh peh peh! Don't speak nonsense; we don't even know what's inside yet."
Thus, Professor Qin led the way, pushing aside the underbrush as he guided his team forward.
After they emerged from the bushes and crossed a forest, they arrived at the entrance of the small village.
From the entrance, they could see figures diligently working in the fields, a person watering the vegetable garden, and a small rabbit jumping up to catch butterflies...
Wait a minute!
Why is that little rabbit wearing a pair of black sunglasses?
In the next moment, Professor Qin and the other team members widened their eyes in unison, staring at the little white rabbit, wanting to see it more clearly.
As a result, the smiles on everyone's faces instantly froze!!
The same thought appeared in their minds at the same time!
"Oh my god!!! A little white rabbit wearing sunglasses, strutting around with a swaggering gait, is walking out like it doesn't know anyone???"
