C9 A Strange Village

Passing through the forest, he sat down under a tree to rest. Looking at the prompt in the attributes window, Ling Tian asked curiously, "There's an inlaid gem, the Bloodfire Gem? Do you wish to inlay it?"

Ling Tian had forgotten that a gem could be embedded in the sword just now. Sure enough, a red gem was stuck on the hilt of one of the short swords, emitting a red glow.

Weight: 30% The target will lose 20% HP per second when attacking. Because the target has been absorbing spirit essence for a long time, the target's defense will be reduced by% 35% and the target's attack will be reduced by% 30% while being attacked. The target will also receive an additional 20% movement.

Seeing so many attributes, Ling Tian was very satisfied. Standing up and preparing to set off, the system's notification rang out, Black Forest Boar in attack range, please be careful!

He turned around and saw a black boar that was taller than him standing there, staring at him.

He opened the attributes bar. Forest Black Wild Boar, Beast Race, Level 11, HP 2,700, Magic 1200, Attack 210, Magic 90.

Ling Tian gripped his two swords and looked at the black boar, only to see its front legs continuously digging the ground as it cried out.

Suddenly, the wild boar stopped moving and charged towards Ling Tian. Ling Tian then suddenly stabbed towards its target, and a figure dashed towards the black wild boar.

As the two weapons clashed, Ling Tian appeared behind the wild boar, both of his swords already drenched in blood. As the wild boar charged forward, raising a cloud of dust, it looked at Ling Tian but did not move, only panting heavily.

Ling Tian did not give him the chance to take a breather as he used Shadow Strike in his numbed state. After three phantoms passed, Ling Tian pulled out a short sword from its neck, spurting out a mouthful of blood as the black boar slowly fell to the ground, raising a cloud of dust.

"It just so happens that I can have it for lunch!" Ling Tian laughed. A pile of Bupleurum was unloading a pig's leg and roasting it over the fire.

After he was full, he wiped his dagger and walked towards the depths of the forest while looking at the fallen wild boar.

After walking for a while, he looked at the map. If he wanted to reach Lin Huang City, he would have to climb over two mountain ranges.

He went under a waterfall and washed himself by the water. After drinking some water, he crossed over the stream and saw the smoke coming from a place not far away. He said, "It seems like there are villages ahead. It's getting late, so I'll rest there for the night and continue my journey tomorrow."

After saying that, he walked towards the village. After walking for about five minutes, a village of about twenty households appeared in front of him.

When the children at the village entrance saw Ling Tian, they all ran over as if they had seen a demon. Ling Tian felt that it was strange.

Ye Zichen walked towards the village with suspicion. As soon as he entered the village, he saw that the doors and windows were tightly locked, and every single one of them was completely lifeless.

Zhang Xuan walked up to the door of another residence and knocked on it a few times. No one replied to his knock, and it was the same for the other residence.

Looking around him, Ling Tian could clearly see the smoke from the smoke. Why did it seem as if the entire village had disappeared? In addition to the reaction of the children just now, Ling Tian felt that the problem was not as simple as it seemed.

Suddenly, a distant house's window was slightly opened, and someone inside looked towards Ling Tian before quickly closing it.

Ling Tian walked up quickly and said to the window, "This lowly one came from Xin De Ban, and wanted to stay the night in your village. I do not have any ill intentions, so you all do not need to worry."

When the people in the house heard Ling Tian's comforting words, the window opened again. A woman looked up and down at Ling Tian, saying, "You're not a bandit?"

Ling Tian immediately replied, "I'm just passing by myself, not some bandit!" Seeing that Ling Tian had behaved properly, the people inside were at ease.

Opening the wooden door, he saw a child standing beside the woman. Hiding behind the woman, he sized himself up and said, "Young Master, please enter!"

The woman poured a cup of water for Ling Tian, who took it and took a sip, "Please excuse me, but why did you think that I was a bandit just now?"

The Madam hugged the child in her arms and said to Ling Tian, "The matter will be talked about on the night before yesterday. At that time, it was already dark and most of our village was asleep, but suddenly the dogs and dogs in the village were barking crazily. We are deep in the mountains, so we are rather far from the city.

With a scream, my husband got up, opened the window, and peeped out. He saw a group of soldiers on horseback, holding torches in one hand and swords in the other, kicking at the door from door to door in the middle of the village.

My husband leaned against the door with his hunting knife, and told us to run out the back window. Tung and I were so frightened that we fled through the back window, and before we had gone more than a few steps we heard a fight in the room, and watched a man fall by the light of a torch. Tung and I hid in the grass, crying quietly, too scared to make a sound.

When the sky brightened up and we confirmed that there was no sound, Dong'er and I climbed in through the window and saw my husband lying in a pool of blood. He didn't seem to be breathing at all.

"Later on, according to the villagers, these robbers, not only did they rob money, but they also came in search of a person with a portrait in their hand. All the people in the village who resisted were killed, and just now, Dong'er saw that you had a knife in your hand and thought that they had come again, which was why the whole village was in such a panic."

"Damn it!" Ling Tian then slammed the table, stood up from the stool and said angrily, "Truly not comparable to beasts!" Do you know where they came from? "

Madam Ye stood at the side and recalled, "I didn't see their faces back then. According to the villagers, they were also black haired and had a wooden sign with the word 'Duplicate' hanging from their waists."

Ling Tian then mumbled, "A wooden plate with multiple words, don't tell me …" "It's someone from the Jing Xiu Villa. They should be right. I remember taking over the task of annihilating the owner of the Jing Xiu Mountain Manor."

He was originally the son of the Lord of Lin Royal City, Sean, just because he and his son were brutal and lecherous, then he was overthrown by the City Lord, Sean was killed in battle, but Xiao Jingpeng disappeared from the face of the earth, then he was found out at the Floating Cloud Mountain with the Old Tribe's recruitment plan to restore his country. The City Lord sent a large number of warriors to besiege him and kill him in the end.

"But why are they so far away? And who is the person chasing after them?" Ling Tian did not understand.

The madame interrupted, "Does the young master know who they are?"

Ling Tian did not worry her as he replied, "I don't know, but I think they're just passing by to track down a person. They shouldn't be coming back …"

"Hmm. I hope that's the case. We can relax now. You can sleep in the next room tonight."

He was still thinking about who was the person being hunted down, as there was no such thing in the game before. After thinking for a while, he did not have a single clue and sighed, "Forget about it, I'll inform the mayor when we arrive at the imperial city. We can't let this person bring disaster upon us." With that said, he turned out the lights and went back to sleep.
