Heiress Unmasked: Shaking the World With Geomancy novel Chapter 1377

Shannon allowed Tortoise the System to do some flying at home, but not across the village. Who knew if it would scare anyone to death? By then, they would've created chaos before tracking down the village guardian.

She pinned the system down with force, then turned to Fennec, instructing, "You go."

Although Fennec was only a half-demon, she had a sharp sense of smell and was the best candidate to do the job. She nodded at Shannon, saying, "Alright. Let me identify the village guardian's scent."

Lexie once again volunteered to ask one of the villagers about the village guardian's place of residence. Fennec then went inside and took a look around before locking onto his presence. She headed toward a definite direction, saying, "Over there."

The group made their way behind the village, and during the journey, they encountered many villagers going on the same mission as them. Some kids were even shouting, "Mr. Rock!"

That was taught by the village shaman. Apparently, the children's voices were loud and clear enough to reach people's hearts.

The villagers in Floriana Village believed in the existence of a village guardian. Each household took turns to feed him, and they would also educate the children to be respectful of him.

Hence, no villagers would bully him or call him offensive names. Some kids did, but they were usually fed with their mother's slaps immediately after.

The villagers initially didn't pay heed to the visitors, but upon seeing how familiar Shannon was and how peculiar their actions were, some began tailing them.

Fennec ignored them, following the scent all the way. She passed by an ancient tree and even asked a squirrel that happened to be passing by. Finally, near a pit in the mountains at the back of the village, she found Montaro, who had fallen into it.

He had undoubtedly fallen into it by accident, yet when they found him, he was asleep inside. It wasn't until they heard Shannon and others calling for him that he groggily awoke.

When the villagers heard the groaning sounds, they leaned over to take a look and immediately exclaimed, "Oh no! Oh dear!"

"Montaro, why are you sleeping in a pit?"
