Seventy-five miles east of Xuantian Sect.
Danyang County!
This place is adjacent to Shengjiang River. At sunrise and sunset, the river water is bright red like fire.
Next to Danyang County, in the center of Shengjiang River, there is a strange round reef. In the bright red river water at sunrise and sunset, it looks like a black pill. Danyang County got its name from this.
Danyang County, as a famous county town within dozens of miles, has always attracted countless tourists.
However, over the past six months, Danyang County has been filled with gloom and sorrow. Even the tourists who used to bring vitality and prosperity to Danyang County have become few and far between because of the danger of being attacked by evil rats or contracting the plague on their way to and from the county!
Due to the prevalence of the plague, everyone was in a state of panic, fearing that they would be infected with the disease. Danyang County, which was originally welcoming to foreigners, has now become xenophobic, and even the streets seem deserted.
As for the villages and farmlands around Danyang County, because of the evil rats, the farmlands looked messy and the villages were filled with sadness.
Lin Li, who had not yet learned the art of flying, rode a black horse at full speed. After less than three days' journey, he finally arrived in Danyang County.
No one I passed along the way had a smile on their face, all of them looked sad.
Occasionally, when passing through a few villages, I could hear the sighs of people suffering from the plague.
Finally, the city wall of Danyang County can be seen from afar!
Lin Li perked up, squeezed his legs together, sat on the dark horse, and increased his speed dramatically!
When crossing a farmland, a peasant woman suddenly jumped out.
“Ouch!!!”
As soon as Lin Li pulled the reins, the black horse raised its front legs and almost threw Lin Li off!
Fortunately, Lin Li is now a cultivator with some skills, so he was not thrown off his horse by the sudden brake!
"You peasant woman! Why are you blocking the road?"
Lin Li frowned, dismounted, and asked sternly.
"Help! Help!"
The peasant woman was terrified. She rolled and crawled from the roadside to Lin Li's side. She hugged Lin Li's thigh and said, "My child! My child! Save..."
"Don't panic, take your time!"
Lin Li frowned and thought: Could it be a demon rat? !
"Please, sir!"
The peasant woman looked to be about thirty years old, but her face was weather-beaten.
From his facial features, one can vaguely tell that he must have been good-looking when he was young. "My daughter is only fourteen years old now! That damn beast! He relied on his elder brother who was an official in the government office to do all kinds of evil in the village! Now, the plague is raging, the government is too busy to take care of itself, let alone the lives of ordinary people like us. That beast snatched my daughter away..."
"I see."
Lin Li frowned.
Unexpectedly, when the monster was plaguing the world, instead of people working together to overcome the difficulties, there were evil people who took the opportunity to do evil!
"I see that you are an extraordinary person, so I guess you must be a great hero! Please, sir! As long as you can rescue my daughter, I will serve you like a slave..."
"Auntie, please get up quickly."
Lin Li frowned and said, "Wait for me!"
…
Outside Danyang County, Zhaojia Village.
"Aunt Zhao! What's behind you?"
"Wow! What a tall horse!"
"Aunt Zhao, who is this person?"
As we walked through the village, we saw many peasant women greeting Aunt Zhao.
However, Aunt Zhao looked angry. She forced a smile and answered them, "This is the helper I invited." But the replies she received were, "Even if this young man looks capable, he can never beat Zhao Dezhu!"
"Zhao Dezhu's brother is a captain of the government office! He taught him a lot of martial arts! Even if this young man is so powerful that he can kill Zhao Dezhu, when his brother comes, how can he defeat the government?"
"Aunt Zhao, I think you should just relax! Zhao Dezhu's taking your daughter doesn't really count..."
“Bullshit!”
Aunt Zhao said with her eyes wide open, "It would certainly be a blessing for my daughter if she could marry him in a formal ceremony. But everyone knows that Zhao Dezhu only bullies the villagers and robs women! How can my daughter be ruined by him?"
After saying this, Aunt Zhao turned around and bowed to Lin Li.
She was only less than 40 years old, but her face looked old due to years of hard work. She started to cry again: "Please, sir..."
"No problem!"
Lin Li waved his hand and said, "It's a small matter! Stop talking nonsense and take me there!"
"Thank you, sir!"
…
"No... No! Don't do that! Help, help! No! There, no... Ah! Don't pull my clothes, wuwuwu..."
When approaching the earthen tile house in the west of Zhaojia Village, Lin Li could hear the miserable voice of the delicate and helpless girl.
"ah!"
When Aunt Zhao heard this, she became even more anxious and said, "My daughter has been kidnapped for almost an incense stick of time! If you are any later, it will be too late!"
Lin Li was also filled with anger, and he directly activated the "Xuantian Wuji Breathing Technique" to infuse spiritual power into his feet.
Lin Li took a step forward, and his body shot out like a sharp arrow at a speed far beyond the imagination of ordinary people!
"this?!"
Aunt Zhao was also shocked when she saw Lin Li's extraordinary speed that was like a ghost, and she couldn't help but exclaimed!
She hurriedly ran after him, but she couldn't catch up with Lin Li at all.
at the same time.
Lin Li had already rushed to the front of the earthen tile house in three or two steps.
Bang!
Lin Li raised his leg and kicked!
The wooden door that had been bolted was kicked open by Lin Li!
After rushing in and turning around, you can see a disgusting scene in the right room of the earthen tile house!
The girl had tears on her face, fear and tears on her face, her clothes were tattered, obviously torn by the beast, and her exposed skin was covered with claw marks and bruises.
At this moment, she was holding on with her legs together, and she became even more frightened when she saw Lin Li rushing in.
"Damn it! Who are you?!"
The man who was pulling the girl's legs with his hands looked to be in his early twenties, with an unshaven beard and unkempt appearance. He looked ferocious and questioned Lin Li.
"snort!"
Lin Li snorted coldly, pulled out the blood-drinking sword that Ye Fan had transformed into, and shouted: "I was entrusted by Aunt Zhao to come and save people! How dare you, a beast, do such a brutal thing to such a young girl! You will die!"
“Hehe…hahahaha!”
Unexpectedly, when the man saw Lin Li drawing his sword, he was not afraid at all, but laughed wildly!
As he laughed, his voice became increasingly shrill!
At the same time, his eyes became cold and beastly, flashing with a faint green light!
Even the hair on the body began to grow thicker.
In just a few breaths, he no longer looked like a human, but a gray-haired orc, with a hunched and bloated body. "How do you know that I am no longer human?"
"Hahaha! I want to see what kind of hero you can be."
"In recent days, I have killed countless so-called heroes in the martial arts world!"
“Wow wow wow!”
When the girl saw this scene, she cried even harder!
