"Eh, there's a small village here!”
At the foot of the Devil Mountain, Lin Feng, who was about to go up the mountain to look for the Dark Jade, suddenly saw a hidden village deep in the path on his right.
"There's definitely a problem! This place was called Demon Mountain, and there was a village at the foot of the mountain. According to the nature of the game, there must be a mission related to demons in this village. It might even affect whether he could get the Dark Jade in the end!”
"Moreover, the style of the jade hook is obviously not naturally formed. If I'm not wrong…it's either an accessory on the demon's body or a tribute or a worshiper of this village!”
"No matter what, we should go to the village to investigate first.”
Thinking of this, Lin Feng turned around and walked towards the village.
"Stop! This is the Hidden Spirit Village and outsiders are not welcome here. If there's nothing else, please leave immediately!”
Lin Feng was stopped by two young guards when he was 50 meters away from the village entrance.
"Oh? The village at the foot of the Evil Demon Mountain was called the Hidden Spirit Village?”
"This hint is too obvious! And he didn't allow outsiders to enter? It seemed that the people in this village were either colluding with the demons or being coerced!”Lin Feng's mind went through many thoughts, but he said,
"I'm here under the orders of the Queen of Magic to eradicate the demons here. If you have any useful information, please let me know!”
After saying that, he stared at the expressions of the two guards. When he saw a hint of surprise on their faces, Lin Feng knew that he had guessed correctly! As expected…
After the two guards looked at each other, the guard on the right turned around and ran into the village, while the guard on the left said,"Really? That's great! This day had finally arrived! Please wait a moment, we will inform the village chief!”
Not long after, the guard who had just entered ran out with a group of old men, panting.
Before the old man who looked to be in his sixties or seventies could stand still and catch his breath, he hurriedly asked,
"Little brother, you said that you were ordered by the Queen to eradicate the demon on the mountain. Is that true? Oh, right, I'm the village chief here, Old Li.”
Lin Feng saw surprise, anxiety, and fear on Old Master Li's face. Although Lin Feng did not understand why he had such an expression, he still followed his words. Perhaps he would know the reason later…
"Ah, it's true! I wanted to go up the mountain to find the demon, but I happened to see your village. I think you guys who live at the foot of this mountain should know that demon better! It would be best if he could provide any information!”
"Understood! Of course he understood! Little brother, please come in first. I'll tell you slowly!”
"By the way, where are your companions?"
"Just me!"
"This…"
" It seems like the old man doesn't believe in my ability."
" No... no..." Old Master Li shook his hand in fear, indicating that he didn't mean that.
"What I meant to say was that the demon is too powerful. If you have a companion to take care of you, it will be safer!”
"Don't worry! The fact that the Queen gave me this mission means that she has confidence in me! Even if you don't believe me, you should believe the Queen, right? Tell me more about that demon first!”
"Yes…Yes! Please follow me!"
…
The village chief led Lin Feng and a group of old men into the village. At this moment, Lin Feng finally had the time to take a good look at this small village.
The entire village was not big, and the houses were all very outdated mud and straw huts. Judging from the number of houses, there were about 40 to 50 families in this village, with about 100 people.
Outside the house was a piece of farmland. There was an orchard a little further away, and then there was a wooden fence. A fence about two meters high protected the entire village.
How should he put it? This village gave Lin Feng the feeling that it was peaceful and peaceful. It was a good place to retire. Before he transmigrated, Lin Feng had also fantasized about finding a place like this to spend his later years when he was old!
"We're here. This is the little old man's house. Please come in!”
The village chief's sudden words interrupted Lin Feng's thoughts and pulled him back to reality.
After everyone entered the room and sat down, the village chief began to tell the story of the village.
"It all started three years ago! I believe you have seen it as well. Although our village is not rich, it is comfortable. Most of the young people in the village chose to work in the city. The old people who stayed in the village took care of the children and farmed some food. Their lives were not bad.”
When the village chief said this, his originally kind face suddenly darkened. He gritted his teeth and said,
"But all of this changed when that demon appeared in the village three years ago!”
"That evening, everyone in the village gathered together. Most of the young people who went out to work came back. Everyone held a bonfire party in the open space to celebrate the annual Thanksgivings. However, just as the children were having fun, the red-skinned demon descended from the sky! It was three to four meters tall, and it said that from today onwards, we would be its food and that no one was allowed to leave the village!”
"At that time, how could we be willing to give in like this? A few young men immediately took out machetes and shotguns and rushed forward.”
"Unfortunately, it's completely ineffective! The demon just stood there without moving, allowing us to attack. But its skin was too tough. If it was hard, the knife could not cut through it, and the bullets could not shoot through it.”
"Just as everyone was at a loss, that demon... it raised its right hand. There were a few sharp claws on it. It only waved it once, and those young men covered their necks and fell to the ground screaming..."
At this point, the village chief was already in tears!
"They are the best hunters in our village! My child is among them…"
Lin Feng looked at the crying old man in front of him and felt very uncomfortable. Initially, he thought that he would be like watching a movie, as long as he understood what had happened and could successfully complete the mission. After all, these people were just virtual NPCs that King and the others had conjured.
However, when they appeared in front of him, Lin Feng realized that he could not be as calm as he had imagined. He could not wait to kill that demon!
"Eh…after the demon killed the people, it announced that we have to contribute one person to it as food every month. No one is allowed to leave the village!”
"In the beginning, everyone was still hoping for luck. Some people sneaked out in the middle of the night, some people ran away in groups, and some people discussed how to escape in several directions at the same time. However, without exception, their heads were all strung up by branches the next morning and stabbed into the village entrance. It was as if the demon was warning us not to run away!”
"Later…later, everyone had no choice but to sacrifice one person in exchange for a month of peace!”
"Three years! More than 30 villagers left us just like that. Although the ones who will die first are us old people. We've already lived for so long. If we die, so be it. But as you can see, little brother, there's only a few of us left! The remaining children were the future of the village!”
At this point, the village chief suddenly knelt down and said with a sob,
"Thank goodness you're here! I beg you! He had to kill that demon! Otherwise, we really won't be able to survive!”
Seeing this, Lin Feng quickly went forward to help the village chief up. At the same time, he promised,
"Don't worry, I'm here to deal with this demon! I won't let it have the chance to harm you again!”
"Good, good, good! Thank you…Thank you!"
After the village chief calmed down a little, Lin Feng asked,
"Then, Village Chief, please tell me where that demon is usually. I'll set off now!”
"The demon lives in the cave behind the village. There was only a small path there. If you kept walking, you would see it!”
"Alright, wait for my good news in the village! I'll bring its head back to offer it to the sacrificed villagers!”
After saying that, Lin Feng stood up and walked out of the house, heading in the direction the village chief had pointed out.
"Please!"
"Please!" At this moment, the few old men who had been watching the show at the side also shouted in unison…
