Even though the masked man was crippled, he still had strong vitality. He lasted for an hour before he was killed alive. His death was miserable. There was no whole body, and not even a bone larger than a palm was left.
.
"This beast actually killed so many people, what a sin."
"Hey, God is unfair. This beast killed so many people, why did he only have one life to pay for it?"
"My dear fellows in Heaven, I hope you rest in peace. We have avenged you."
After the punishment was over, the small village was desolate, a deep sadness emerged, and a light rain fell from the sky, seeming to express injustice for these ordinary people.
Human life is like a piece of grass, one death kills an entire village, how miserable it is!
When talking about the previous villages, many villagers lamented, and some even kept crying. They had relatives in those villages.
This was a village full of joy, but today it is full of sadness.
Naturally, no one has forgotten Zi Chen, the savior, and the villagers worshiped him like a god.
Kill pigs and sheep to give Zi Chen a good meal.
"Thank you. It's really no need. I have something urgent to do and I have to leave." He solved the crisis for others, but no one solved it for Zi Chen, and there were still people chasing him.
"Young hero, you are the savior of our Qingshui Village. No matter what, you will have a full meal today." The villagers kept trying to persuade him to stay.
"I'll go back and kill the pig." The butcher took back his knife, which had been cleaned.
"I still have an old hen at home. It's five or six years old. I'm going to kill it."
"I still have some bacon at home, which is ready to cook."
All the villagers are very enthusiastic.
The bones of the dead villagers were still cold, and many of them had sad faces, but they wanted to reward Zi Chen and let him have a good meal. Everyone was grateful to Zi Chen from the bottom of their hearts.
Looking at these simple villagers, Zi Chen lamented in his heart, God is unfair. The simple villagers just want to survive, to have food every day, to live a good life, and never cause trouble, but trouble comes to them on their own initiative.
, one death kills a whole village.
Zi Chen left. He really couldn't eat. The villagers' bones were still cold and the labor force was reduced. He didn't want to harm them anymore.
When leaving, all the villagers came out to see him off.
Before leaving, Zi Chen left ten broken Yuan Stones, which are the common currency of the mainland and can be exchanged for gold and silver. However, gold and silver cannot be exchanged for broken Yuan Stones. All the villagers burst into tears of gratitude and refused. Zi Chen
He just shook his head and left.
The masked man was killed, and he settled his worries. Following the villagers' guidance, he finally found the road leading to Yunxia City an hour later.
Walking along the road, Zi Chen's stomach growled not long after. He hadn't had a full meal for a long time. The death of the villagers left him with no appetite, but he was still empty, so he protested in advance.
"Where can we get food?" Zi Chen looked around and saw that there were no wild fruits at all. They were all big trees with lush branches and leaves that did not grow wild fruits.
"Are you going to eat leaves? If I had known, I would have picked up a piece of bacon." Zi Chen thought to himself. When he left, the villagers heard that he was going to Yunxia City, the largest city here. They all said that it was a long way and they had to be taken to Zi Chen.
I asked for some food, but he refused them all.
If Zi Chen is asked to choose again, he will naturally refuse. He is a monk and cannot survive without food, let alone ordinary villagers.
After walking for another two hours, Zi Chen finally saw a wild fruit tree and picked a few. Although the fruit was green in the mouth, Zi Chen's heart was sweet.
After eating, he drank two mouthfuls of water to get rid of the bitterness in his mouth. Zi Chen picked a dozen more wild fruits to eat on the way, and then walked along the road.
He didn't know when Wuzong's people would catch up, so Zi Chen was very fast. One day later, at a fork in the road, he found traces of a wheel. According to the villagers, the direction of the wheel seemed to be
It is the direction of Yunxia City.
Dust was flying on the road, and Zi Chen finally saw human beings.
It was a caravan, carrying two large carts of goods, pulled by a few horses, and a slightly ornate carriage.
Zi Chen did not go there rashly, but just watched from a distance.
There can be more than a dozen people in the convoy, each carrying a sword. One of them is the most conspicuous with a beard, a rough look, and a fierce look. However, he is the only one among these people who does not carry a sword. The other people are ordinary-looking and unrestrained.
It's definitely hard to notice in the crowd, but everyone is carrying a sword, like a group of mercenaries.
Zi Chen followed the other party for two days and felt that the other party was just an ordinary mercenary who should be escorting the bearded man to Yunxia City. Once he was sure, he was ready to step forward and let him take him for a ride.
After eating the hard-to-eat wild fruit for the last time, Zi Chen stood up from the ground and walked forward, walking several hundred meters. When he passed a big tree, a sudden change occurred.
Several weapons radiating cold light appeared in front of Zi Chen in the blink of an eye. They moved very quickly and stopped at his neck in an instant.
Four people appeared from the darkness, and two of the four weapons were pressed against his throat.
"Guys, what are you doing?" Zi Chen raised his hands, his expression becoming panicked.
"Tell me, who are you and why are you following us?" A middle-aged man walked out from behind the big tree. He was very ordinary, but Zi Chen felt a dangerous aura from him.
Now Zi Chen has killed several innates, and those who can give him a dangerous aura with just a glance are at least strong men in the True Yuan realm.
Zi Chen suddenly realized that this ordinary person was actually in the True Yuan realm, while the four people next to him were in the Xiantian realm.
"There is something weird about this team." Five strong men appeared in a small team, and Zi Chen no longer thought that the other party was ordinary or ordinary.
These are all disguises, and they are all very powerful.
These five people were all from the front team, and Zi Chen didn't pay attention to them before, but what he ignored was that at this moment, the sword was pressed against his throat, and he didn't notice it at all.
"It's unfair. I didn't follow you. I just wanted to go to Yunxia City and see if you could give me a ride." Zi Chen said with a bitter look on his face.
"Hmph, how many days have you been following us sneakily, and it's just as simple as heading to Yunxia City?" The middle-aged man's goal turned cold.
"This...!" Zi Chen said with an embarrassed face, "I was afraid that you were bad people, so I didn't dare to go. I quietly observed you for two days and found that you are just ordinary mercenaries, so I hope you can take me with you.
.”
Zi Chen spoke very sincerely, with a very embarrassed expression, and said, "If you don't want to, I'll just follow you and I won't disturb you."
At this moment, another person came from the direction Zi Chen came from, holding in his hand the wild fruits left by Zi Chen.
"It's just these things, there are no marks." The middle-aged man picked up the leftover wild fruits, looked at them carefully, and then looked at Zi Chen.
"Okay, I admit it." Zi Chen's expression became even more embarrassing, "I have nothing to eat. I have been eating wild fruits recently. I want to follow you and get some food."
"Hmph." The middle-aged man sneered, threw away the wild fruit in his hand, and said, "You can follow us if you want, but it depends on whether you are qualified."
After saying that, he looked at one of the four people.
Three of the four people sheathed their swords, but the other one raised his sword and stabbed. The sword flashed and slashed towards Zi Chen's neck.
"Ah... you want to kill people. I just want to follow you, get some food, and help the rivers and lakes. Do you need to kill people?" Zi Chen screamed, his eyes full of fear, and he stepped to the side.
Hide away.
"Stab it!"
Although he escaped the blow, a strand of clothing around his neck was cut off.
"What are you going to do? I don't want to take advantage of you in vain. I have a Yuan Stone and a broken Yuan Stone. I can give it to you." Zi Chen stepped back again and again, grabbing it in his arms in a panic, and then took out a broken Yuan Stone.
During this period, the man holding the sword struck several more times, each sword grazing Zi Chen's clothes. The method was so cruel that if Zi Chen hadn't had some skills, he would have died long ago.
"Ah, don't kill me."
Zi Chen retreated and accidentally stepped on a stone. He sat on the ground, and then a sharp sword light flashed across and slashed towards Zi Chen's neck.
"I'll give you two broken Yuan stones." Seeing that his life was in danger, Zi Chen shouted loudly and took out another broken Yuan stone from his arms.
At this moment, the long sword stopped at Zi Chen's throat, and the sword's edge was filled with chills. Zi Chen's life was just a hair away.
"Huh...huh...!" Zi Chen gasped for air, cold sweat dripping down his head, and his eyes were filled with fear.
"Here, here, two pieces of broken Yuan Stone." Zi Chen carefully handed over the broken Yuan Stone in his hand, preparing to hand it to the person in front.
Unexpectedly, the other party just curled his lips, a flash of disdain flashed in his eyes, and put away his sword.
"The tenth level of Qi, I should be twenty, and my talent is average." The middle-aged man from before said calmly.
"Well, there's only one month to go until we're twenty." Zi Chen wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and said with a guilty conscience.
"Humph, I think it's one month to twenty-one."
There was loud laughter all around, and everyone looked at Zi Chen with a touch of disdain.
"Damn it, you still don't care, look at your appearance." Zi Chen cursed in his heart, to be despised by such a group of people. But on the surface, he showed that he had been exposed and the lie was even more embarrassing.
"It's better to take your Yuan Stone back. We can take you with you and give you good food and drink without you having to pay anything." The middle-aged man said.
"So simple?" Zi Chen was confused.
"Of course not. When we get to Yunxia City, you have to do something for us."
"I won't do it if you want to kill people. I hate killing people." Zi Chen quickly waved his hands and said, "I'd better give you the Yuan Stone. It's so practical."
"Humph, I don't even need a piece of trash like you to kill someone." Someone next to him snorted coldly.
"I'm not asking you to kill anyone, I just want you to send a message." The middle-aged man said with a faint smile.
"Well, as long as you don't kill people, that's fine. As for delivering messages that don't hurt or itch, that's fine. But I'll feed you all the way and drink you all the way. I'm just delivering one message, which seems to be a loss. I can deliver a few more." Zi.
Chen said very matter-of-factly.
"Humph, you are honest. Don't worry, there is only one." The middle-aged man sneered, and then walked forward.
