Hong Jue Sanren’s Qiankun Bag did not disappoint Shen Mo!
Two round black beads, attached to the forbidden talisman, lay quietly in a corner of the bag.
However, except for the water and thunder evil beads, some elixirs, and talismans, he did not find the thousand spiritual stones and the middle-grade Xuan-level magic weapon promised by Hong Jue Sanren.
There are low-grade spiritual stones, but only five hundred.
There is also a magic weapon, but it is a low-grade Xuan-level flying sword, a cheap commodity.
Come to think of it, all his resources have been invested in practicing the "Ten Thousand Poisons Transforming Water Technique" and water-like magic weapons.
"The apology this person promised back then was just a lie!"
"Once I take away the sword array, he will probably take risks and attack me with water-thunder evil beads."
Shen Mo was quite satisfied after getting two water-thunder evil beads.
Carefully remove the forbidden talisman, take out a Beidou sword embryo, and start refining it.
Unlike other heavenly materials and earthly treasures, water-thunder evil beads do not need to be smelted with earthly fire. They only need to use casting techniques to extract their origin.
The foundation of the sword embryo has been cast, which is easier than repairing the inner armor of the robe.
Two hours later.
An inch-long small sword full of water was wrapped around Shen Mo's fingertips.
[Through forging, you have upgraded the Xuan-level low-grade "One of the Big Dipper Sword Embryos" to the Xuan-level mid-grade "Tianji". You have a new understanding of the art of forging, and the forging experience is 30]
"Two water-thunder evil beads transformed the Beidou Sword embryo into the mid-level Xuan level. If you want to continue to advance, you will need about five more similar evil beads."
"To be promoted to a top-grade magic weapon, ten more are needed on top of the top-grade Xuan-level magic weapon."
Shen Mo was happy.
As long as the sword embryo can be formed, whether it is mid-grade or high-grade, the power of the sword array can be greatly enhanced.
……
"Master Immortal, please help me!"
While Shen Mo was sorting out the items in the other four Qiankun bags, the head of Ma Tou Village broke into the yard, knelt on the ground and cried.
The spiritual Tibetan rat, which had been released for ventilation and alert, was staring at the village chief with its small mung bean eyes.
"Master, do you want me to drive him away?"
Although this little guy is greedy and lazy, he will lie down without meat.
But after all, it is still a mid-level second-order monster, and it still looks down upon mere mortals.
"Forget it, come with me and have a look."
Shen Mo rolled up his sleeves and put all kinds of spiritual stones and sundries into his Qiankun bag.
In fact, with his keen ears and eyes, he probably already knew what happened.
Ma Tou Village, west of the village.
The strong villagers who came to inquire were brandishing farm tools such as hoes and poles to deal with the starving ghosts in the courtyard.
Most of the weak villagers have no fearful expressions on their faces.
Except numbness.
The eyes that occasionally rolled were glowing green, looking greedily at the pot of broth in the room.
It's just that there are ghosts around, so they don't dare to fight for it.
The starving ghost is ignoring the hot broth.
The owner of the broth next to him is one of the strong villagers who bleeds blood to feed the starving ghosts during the day.
At this moment, he only has one arm left.
You don't need to think about it to know that his lost arm has long been reduced to food for starving ghosts.
Facing the ugly starving ghost, he had no fear.
But right now, his face is full of despair, and his body can't help but tremble, as if he is afraid of his future fate.
"The immortal master is here, the immortal master is here to eradicate the ghosts!"
The strong villagers cheered.
But other weak villagers made no noise.
It seems that except for the pot of broth, everything has nothing to do with them.
"Evil ghosts want to eat people, and people also want to eat people! This world..."
Shen Mo let out a long sigh.
The village chief and the strong villagers all changed their faces when they heard this.
In order not to "offend" the immortal master, they deliberately chose to eat in the middle of the night. As a result, one villager died of starvation and became a ghost.
He broke into one of the houses and injured the owner.
Immediately, the head of Ma Tou Village immediately thought of the immortal master resting at home.
Unexpectedly, Shen Mo had already seen the dirty things in the village.
"Buzz!"
The Dragon Bird Sword cuts out a brilliant sword energy.
The villagers who were still dying during the day have now become ghosts of starving ghosts, instantly turning into ashes under the sword energy.
"Master Immortal, please have mercy! We have no choice but to do so."
The village chief and hundreds of strong villagers fell to their knees, kowtowing and begging for mercy.
"The harvests are not as good as each year, and even the wild animals in the mountains are almost extinct."
"There are also people who starve to death. Many of them turn into scary ghosts and eat whatever they see."
"If we don't have enough food and strength, the whole village will be killed and eaten by ghosts!"
"The elderly at home see that they cannot survive and have hanged themselves, so we will go and eat..."
Shen Mo nodded, with a calm expression: "What about the children and teenagers in the village? Did they also realize that they had no way out and hang themselves?"
"This..."
The head of Ma Tou Village was speechless and kept kowtowing.
Tears and runny noses ran down his face, mixed with the blood flowing from his forehead, making him look extremely pitiful.
Gradually, the numb villagers began to kneel down.
Use a weak voice to plead with the "immortal master" on behalf of the village chief and other strong villagers.
The situation is almost obvious!
In Ma Tou Village, villagers who starve to death have a high chance of becoming starving ghosts.
And the old people in the village hanged themselves voluntarily or passively!
Compared with the starving ghosts, the number of hanged ghosts is slightly smaller.
There are also children, young people, sick and disabled people, just like the elderly, almost all of them have become food for the villagers to desperately survive.
Even those men and women in their prime who are in frail health are almost the same as storing food.
But even so, they still live hard!
He even knelt down and begged Shen Mo for the village chief and other people who ate the most meat so that someone in Ma Tou Village could fight against ghosts.
"You guys, work hard to live!"
With a finger of seal, the dragon bird sword circled and landed at Shen Mo's feet.
Immediately, he stepped on the flying sword and left Ma Tou Village with the sword.
Escape all the way.
The villages he encountered were either dilapidated or in decline, without any fireworks.
Or just like Ma Tou Village, relying on cannibalism to survive.
In addition to villages, this is also true in market towns!
Shen Mo watched and walked...
As far as the eye can see, there is only more misery!
He did not take action to change anything, or in other words, he was unable to change anything.
Just like in Ma Tou Village, if you kill the village and the hundreds of strong villagers, what can you do?
Their corpses will soon be eaten up by other villagers, and then not long after, it will be the same as before.
And.
What reason did he have to kill a group of mortals who were struggling to survive?
