In the hall of the village, Han Xiao sat on a chair with a gloomy expression. Under the lights in the hall, his face looked a little ferocious and terrifying. The group of bandits guarding the door did not dare to show their anger, for fear of offending the village owner. , becoming the object of his venting.
In tonight's battle, the only remaining hall leader died, and the ordinary bandits suffered nearly a hundred casualties! But when Han Xiao arrived, he didn't even see the other party's appearance clearly.
"Damn it! Damn it! Who are they?! The spear in the hand of the man who killed Xiao Chen is definitely a Horcrux! And the grade is not low! A high-grade human level... or an earth-level Horcrux? Destroy our Black Wood Village in three days ... What a loud tone!" Han Xiao smacked down the chair angrily, and the chair he had just changed was laid off again.
Horcruxes are weapons with powerful power that are refined from soul beast soul cores or special materials that contain the power of heaven and earth elements.
Horcruxes are divided into three levels: Heaven, Earth and Human. Each level is divided into three levels: upper, middle and lower. Even the lowest human-level Horcruxes are unparalleled in the eyes of the world. As the leader of Blackwood Village, Han Xiao has no choice but to It was just a low-grade human-level soul weapon 'golden soul armor' that was rewarded by the sect. He couldn't imagine what level of Horcrux the red spear used by the man who killed Xiao Chen was.
The deputy village leader Yang Tian's face was also ugly, but he was much calmer. He waited for Han Xiao's anger to subside a little before he said: "Fortress leader, calm down quickly. I still say the same thing, never do it. Disorganize your position, otherwise you will fall into the enemy's scheme... "
"Huh? What do you think?" Han Xiao knew that in terms of resourcefulness, he was not as good as the deputy village leader. Many times, Yang Tian played the role of military advisor in the village.
"First of all, I can be sure that the opponent's strength will not be very strong, otherwise they would have attacked directly. I guess it is likely that there is no one with the strength of a soul warrior or above among them."
"In addition, the intention of the two people who went up the mountain tonight is also very obvious, just to shock! It's not us, but the ordinary people under our command. To them, the soul master is an extremely powerful existence. They saw with their own eyes that they usually The high-ranking hall master was killed like that, and the impact on them was unpredictable. Moreover, coupled with the last words of the man, I think... there may be some changes in the village in the past few days. "
"You mean... someone will escape from the cottage?"
"Probably."
"Are they stupid? Those people are at the bottom of the mountain. Can they survive if they go out?"
"If they think they will die if they stay, there will be people who are willing to give it a try. After all, the last thing the person said was, 'If you stay in the mountain, you will die.' In other words, 'If you leave the mountain village, you can survive.' That's what they think. Yeah..."
"Hmph! If someone really dares to defect from the mountain stronghold, I will break his neck first without waiting for the enemy to come up the mountain!"
"The method of killing one person to serve as a warning to others can only be used when a small number of people defect, and it is most effective when most of them are hesitant to defect. In the past few days, let your cronies pay more attention to the movements of those people below..." Yang Tian looked quite helpless. The opponent's move was really insidious. Before they actually attacked the mountain, it had already caused the people in the village to lose heart.
"That man said that the stronghold will be destroyed in three days. Is this credible?" Han Xiao thought of another question and asked hurriedly.
"Of course it's not credible. It's just a ploy to disturb people's hearts. However... it doesn't rule out the possibility of being caught in the trap. If they really come up to the mountain in three days to kill... However, if we only focus on the limitation of 'three days later', it will be very difficult. We may be attacked by them in advance. Alas... The other party's goal has obviously been achieved! Now, we can only be trapped in the worry and vigilance of 'may be attacked at any time' all day long."
"Then what should we do?" After hearing what he said, Han Xiao felt a little panicked.
"There is no other way. We can't lead people down the mountain, because they may have set up an ambush waiting for us. We can only strengthen the alert on the mountain and be ready to meet the enemy at any time..."
"Damn it! We, Blackwood Village, have never been so cowardly... You also said that there are probably no soul warriors among them. How about I personally lead everyone in the village to rush down the mountain, no matter what the ambush or not, break it with force. !”
"Absolutely not! If you are not careful, Blackwood Village will be completely wiped out. And... have you forgotten the Horcrux used to kill Xiao Chen? That spear is definitely not low-grade, and for souls For soul masters in the following realms, it is not difficult to own a powerful soul weapon and kill people beyond the level. Are you sure that your low-level gold soul armor can withstand the blade of that spear? "
Han Xiao was silent. The golden soul armor given by the sect was naturally invulnerable to ordinary weapons, but when he thought of Xiao Chen being shattered to pieces by that spear, even he felt a chill in his heart. He... didn't dare to gamble!
"Just do as you say. At least they won't make any moves tonight, right? Everyone, go down..."
Han Xiao stood up dejectedly, walked out of the hall, and walked to his room. From a distance, an inaudible sigh came from the distance.
"Could it be that... our Black Wood Village is about to perish in such an inexplicable way..."
… …
At the foot of Heimu Mountain, Bai Yunfei and Li Chengfeng were sitting in a forest, treating their wounds.
"This battle was so exciting! Those bandits who were inferior to animals, those bandits who usually regarded us as ants and killed them whenever they wanted, were easily killed by me with one knife... If I had been so strong. , if I had been so strong... Dad, mother, sister, Uncle Zhou next door, village chief Uncle Li, everyone..." Li Chengfeng leaned on the tree, looking up at the stars through the gaps in the leaves, murmuring to himself , "I have the power now. Kill all... bandits. They all deserve to die! Kill them all..."
"Chengfeng, are you okay? You..." Bai Yunfei on the side saw that he seemed to be getting more and more uncomfortable, so he couldn't help but call out.
Li Chengfeng stopped talking to himself, rubbed his forehead, smiled at Bai Yunfei, and said: "I know what you are worried about, but don't worry, I won't lose myself. Those bandits deserve to die. I'm just doing this for you." I have no other purpose than to avenge those who died. I will not become a murderer..."
Bai Yunfei breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Yes, they all deserve to die. Leaving them behind will only cause more innocent people to suffer. The first time I met them, I was not as decisive as you, but Now... we will definitely destroy them completely!"
"By the way, you are about to reach the middle stage of the soul, right? The gun-wielding bandit you fought with before was much stronger than you. Why did you fight him for so long? Just to wait for the village leader to arrive, and then Do you want to establish your authority?" Li Chengfeng couldn't help but ask doubtfully, thinking of the previous battle.
"It's one aspect. The most important thing is, didn't you also say that he also uses a gun. Although my gun skills are quite good, my shortcoming is that I have too little actual combat experience. It's not easy to meet one. Naturally, I have to experience and learn from it.”
"Sigh... I really don't understand you. Do you think you are weak? The power of your fire-pointed spear is enough to make up for your lack of skills, right?"
"It's just that for the enemies we have encountered at this stage, for the world of soul masters, we are still very weak..." Bai Yunfei said, and couldn't help but think of Zhang Yang's father Zhang Zhenshan's casual glance, the soul realm , is simply not a height that I can reach now, let alone the mysterious old man who gave me the space ring.
"By the way, what do you mean by the last sentence you shouted? Are we going to attack the stronghold in three days?"
"Of course not, I lied to them..."
"..."
"Haha, it's just a little trick to make our future actions more convenient." Bai Yunfei smiled and continued looking at the mountain. "If my prediction is correct, there may be bandits trying to escape down the mountain in the next two days. No matter whether the village leader uses suppressive means to stop them, it will not be harmful to us."
"Then...if someone really escapes down the mountain, should we let them go?"
"What? Are you willing to let them go?"
"Of course not! These evil people are worse than animals. Letting one of them go will be a disaster."
"Then let's end it. If someone really comes down the mountain, we'll kill him."
"..."
"Okay, let's take turns to rest. We will intensify our practice in the next few days. You and I are not slow in our practice. I believe it won't be long before I can break through to the middle stage of Soul Apostle, and you can also reach the late stage of Soul Apostle. When the time comes, It’s time to mature, let’s destroy this bandit den in one fell swoop!”
