An old man with a white beard in his sixties was half lying on a wicker chair, shaking his bamboo fan and looking leisurely.
"Old Sun, can you move this move or not? Hurry up and admit defeat and play the next game."
"Think again, think again." The bald old man opposite frowned, looking at the chessboard like he was looking at the enemy who killed his father, and he was undecided.
"Alas." The white-bearded old man shook his head helplessly on the surface but proudly on the inside. He caught two figures flashing outside his courtyard with his peripheral vision and let out a light sigh.
"What? Who is that?"
"She seems to be the village chief's girl."
"Xiao Xian." The bald old man said with a smile on his face: "Arrived to find Zhu Zhu? Hahaha, the village chief didn't pay attention to his girl after all."
"No, it seems not." The white-bearded old man put down his bamboo fan and said with some surprise: "Why do I look at her... as if she is chasing a barefoot big brother?"
"Bare feet? Big brother?" The bald old man looked away from the chessboard, wondering whether he should laugh or cry: "Are you dazzled? That girl just swooped past. Which big brother in our village can run so fast and barefoot?
Doesn’t it hurt?”
"Uh, maybe it's...dazzled?"
…
"senior!"
Zhou Xiaoxian was panting and ran as fast as he could, but found that he could not catch up with Xia Yi, who was walking on two bare feet.
Fortunately, the place where the roar came from was not far away. After only turning two streets, a huge elephant-like ox caught the eyes of Zhou Xiaoxian and Xia Yi.
Different from the previous one, it no longer looked like an ordinary ox, with its lips turned outward and two large ivory-like teeth protruding from its mouth.
On its forehead, the originally hornless creature grew black horns more than one meter wide out of thin air, and its hooves actually grew sharp claws, emitting a cold light!
Although they look terrifying, they are just the most common bull demon soldiers. The corpses of these demon soldiers killed by strong human beings can circle around the Holy Soul Continent, and Xia Yi can kill them with just a wave of his hand.
But something else that caught his eye made Xia Yi, who had just woken up and was in a good mood, frown suddenly.
Beside a half-collapsed house, a middle-aged woman in her forties was crying to a middle-aged man lying on the ground covered in blood. There were several villagers further away, either fearful or anxious, trying to save the man.
The woman was dragged away, but she was too timid to go over.
And above the horns, there was a fourteen-year-old boy struggling. The sharp horns pierced his abdomen, causing his body to twitch and blood to flow out. He was about to die!
"Really, is it really a demon?! Uncle Zhou Yi! Shi Lai!" Zhou Xiaoxian exclaimed: "Senior! Please take action and save them!"
"Do you know them all? They are all ordinary people. The one lying on the ground has expired, and the one hanging on the horns of the bull cannot be saved. I am a little late... Damn it, are there so few monks in this village?"
Thoughts flashed through his mind, Xia Yi took off the bamboo hat on his head and threw it forward. He wanted to kill this bull demon stained with human blood as quickly as possible!
The boy hanging on the horns stopped twitching, and Xia Yi's body, which came first, hit the bamboo hat he had thrown out at the same time.
Light and shadow flow, and the holy soul activates!
Xia Yi suddenly found that his vision was blurred, and the scene in front of him quickly went away!
"What's going on? I'm hungry and confused?"
With a look of shock on his face, Xia Yi suddenly saw two old men playing chess in the yard next to him.
The chess player... old man?
Xia Yi stopped running.
Zhou Xiaoxian almost bumped into him, stopped suddenly, and gasped: "Senior?"
Xia Yi was silent for a moment, taking a look at the surroundings, frowning and taking a few steps back, looking into the yard - it was indeed the two old men playing chess.
"Bare feet? Big brother?" The bald old man just moved his eyes away from the chessboard and said, "Are you dazzled? That girl just swooped past. Which big brother in our village can run so fast and barefoot?"
?Doesn’t it hurt?”
"Uh, maybe...hey, look!"
The two old men looked over.
The three old men looked at each other.
"You really read that right."
"Grandpa Qin! Grandpa Sun!"
"Xiaoxian, who is this big brother?"
"He..." Zhou Xiaoxian didn't know how to introduce him for a moment and looked at Xia Yi.
Xia Yi looked away and asked slowly: "Little girl, have we been here before?"
Have you been here? Us? Zhou Xiaoxian was at a loss. Didn’t we just meet? Have you ever been to our village? Could it be that you... are sick again?
Xia Yi looked at the two old men again.
"Three minutes ago, did you see me and this girl running past here?"
The two old men looked at each other blankly.
Sure enough, he fell ill again! Zhou Xiaoxian was distressed.
Xia Yi was slightly surprised when he saw this, turned around and continued towards the bull demon. Zhou Xiaoxian quickly followed.
Two minutes later, they saw the giant elephant-like bull demon in the distance again.
Its horns are still so sharp, but there is no person hanging on the horns. Instead, there is a young man beside him who is deftly fighting with it with a sword.
There was a collapsed house nearby, but there was no crying middle-aged woman or unconscious middle-aged man in the ruins. Not far away, the woman was half-supporting the slightly bruised man, looking at the cow demon with gratitude and worry.
A wandering boy.
Everything just now seemed like an illusion!
"Really, it's really a demon?! Fortunately, Uncle Zhou Yi is fine!" Zhou Xiaoxian said in surprise: "It seems that Shi Lai saved them! Senior, please take action and help Shi Lai!"
"...His name is Shi Lai? He's from your village?"
"Yeah!" Zhou Xiaoxian nodded quickly, then shook his head, "Like you, he came to the village more than 20 days ago. He is a very nice person. Most people in the village regard him as a member of their own village."
"More than twenty days ago, you were homeless?"
Xia Yi is convinced that he does not have Alzheimer's disease, has not been deceived by some special hallucination holy soul, and is even less likely to suddenly see a future.
Then it can only be... turning back time? In the past eight hundred years, there has been a holy soul that can turn back time? This Shi Lai is the direct descendant of a certain big family, and is there a strong person protecting him nearby?
Impossible, to distort a period of time including mine, a special holy soul alone is not enough!
Moreover, this young man is still on the verge of becoming a one-star swordsman at fifteen or sixteen years old, and his swordsmanship is so poor that he seems to have just learned it. He should not belong to a big family.
Puzzled, the young man in the distance was increasingly in danger under the charge of the scalpers. Zhou Xiaoxian anxiously and puzzled called out again: "Senior?"
She had taken a deep breath, and when she saw that Xia Yi was still moving, she leaned forward, wanting to step forward to help, and at the same time tentatively grabbed her sword in Xia Yi's hand.
Xia Yi leaned on one side of her body to avoid Zhou Xiaoxian's hand, deciding to save the young man first and then think about it.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he took off his bamboo hat, the boy who was fighting with the bull demon rolled to an angle where he could see Xia Yi and Zhou Xiaoxian.
Then...he actually got distracted during the battle.
So he hung it on the corner again.
This time it passed through the heart and died very quickly!
"It's time!"
Amidst Zhou Xiaoxian's exclamation, Xia Yi tightly held the brim of his hat and stared at the scene in the distance.
…
What does it feel like to be stared at by a slovenly old man with bare feet?
Zhou Qin has lived for almost sixty years. When he was young, he also traveled out of the village and boasted that he was well-informed. At first, he was curious and friendly, stroking his white beard and looking at Xia Yi, but half a minute passed...
He pulled off a bunch of his beard so hard that he almost shed tears from the pain.
On the opposite side, Old Man Sun calmly lifted up the already losing chess game and picked up the chessboard.
"Who are you looking for? Xiaoxian?"
"Grandpa Qin, Grandpa Sun."
Zhou Xiaoxian's bitter little face poked his head out from behind Xia Yi. He wanted to say that there seemed to be something wrong with this senior's head, but he was embarrassed.
But what can I do!
At this time, there was another roar in the distance. Zhou Xiaoxian was startled, and then he remembered that there might be scalpers going crazy over there. Looking at Xia Yi, she helplessly reached for the sword in Xia Yi's hand, wanting to
Rush to the scene first.
It is expected that although this senior is crazy, he will not be disadvantageous to Grandpa Qin and Grandpa Sun.
Xia Yi leaned on one side of his body to avoid Zhou Xiaoxian's hand, "Are you familiar with this action of avoiding your sword? Do you feel familiar?"
Zhou Xiaoxian:???
Xia Yi sighed silently, turned around and strode towards the place where the bull demon was raging, arriving two minutes later.
It’s still the same cow, still the same boy.
The number of collapsed houses changed from one to two, but there were no casualties. The boy who was fighting with the bull demon seemed to be very familiar with the attack methods of the bull demon. He had not yet gathered stars, but he was an ordinary person and could use a sharp sword.
Hurt the bull demon!
"Going back in time? No, more like..."
"Really, it's really a demon?! Fortunately, Uncle Zhou Yi and the others are fine!" Zhou Xiaoxian said in surprise.
"It seems that Shi Lai saved them! Senior, please take action and help Shi Lai!" (Or give me the sword back)
Xia Yi didn't ask who Shi Lai was this time, because he could predict that Zhou Xiaoxian's answer would probably not change from before. So he silently took off his bamboo hat, threw it forward, and rushed out!
The last thing came first, Xia Yi bumped into the bamboo hat. The ordinary bamboo hat suddenly turned into a dark shadow, flowing to both sides, and finally turned into two wings, growing on Xia Yi's back!
Five-star holy soul, bamboo hat turns into wings, activate!
With his wings fluttering, Xia Yi flew low, covering a hundred meters in almost a second. The sharp sword pierced the bull demon's head, causing blood to spurt out!
Shi Lai on the side widened his eyes: 'Instant kill! I have changed in the Novice Village. This is the first time I see him. He is indeed a high-level NPC. Is this an adventure that I only have when I start the main mission? He actually has flying skills?! Okay?
Want to learn!'
"Hey, hey, sir, be careful! It's not dead yet!" At this time, he suddenly exclaimed.
The body of the bull demon was lying weakly on the ground, as if it had expired, but when Xia Yi drew his sword, its scarlet eyes suddenly opened again, it screamed, and its horns penetrated Xia Yi!
Xia Yi seemed to be unprepared, and hurriedly used his sword to block it. There was a sudden sound, and the long sword of average quality in his hand was cut off by the horns! The horns cut dangerously close to Xia Yi's body!
With increasing strength, the final madness ended and the life of the bull demon disappeared. Xia Yi held the hilt of the broken sword and looked at him with surprise and guilt.
Shi Lai fell to the ground, his body twitching, his eyes widened as he held on to the tip of the sword that had pierced his throat.
My eyes are getting dark.
