Chapter 1672 Gravel rolled down the cliff, and Neil's body started slipping down the cliff. Just as he thought all hope was lost, a light shone ahead, and a few villagers with torches rushed over. "Great! Someone's coming!" Neil shouted for help in the direction of the light. "Help! Save us!" When the villagers heard his cries for help, they quickly ran over. "Ah, it's Neil! It's Neil!" When the villagers saw Neil and Stefan, they went over to help pull Stefan up.

"Thank you." Stefan dusted himself off. In comparison with the frightened Neil, he looked a lot calmer. It was as if he hadn't almost died. "I'll remember your kindness today and repay you with a big reward one day." "Don't say that. I'm your guide-I'm responsible for your safety. It's what | should do." Neil spoke politely, full of respect and admiration for Stefan. Although Stefan hadn't revealed his identity to Neil, Neil could tell he was someone extraordinary. Besides, it was rare to see such a capable man cto such a dangerous place for his wife; it was touching and admirable.
The nearby villagers listened to their conversation. They held up their torches, surrounding Neil and Stefan.
"Neil, don't you know it's prohibited to bring outsiders into the village? Your father-in-law is the head of the village, and as his son-in-law, you should be an example. Hurry up and drive him off!" An old man with a white beard dressed in a white and blue traditional costordered Neil solemnly.

He'll leave after he finds what he needs." Neil boldly tried to beg for Easton Abdon's mercy. He knew that outsiders were prohibited from entering their village, and though he didn't want to be Stefan's guide at first, Stefan had offered him a lot of money, and he was also moved by Stefan's love for his wife. At first, he had thought of sneaking into and out of the village when it was dark, but unexpectedly, an accident had happened and Ered them on the way up the mountain.
"Hmph, he's here for the dragon's saliva too, isn't he?" Easton had met many people who cto the village in search of the dragon's saliva every year. Speople wanted to use it for research while others wanted to use it to treat illnesses and save people. Swere just curious, but they all met the smiserable end. None of them succeeded, and it wasn't because of the villagers-it was their ancestors and the mountain deity who becdispleased and ended their lives.
"Sir, may | ask, do you know where the dragon's saliva is?"
