An hour and a half later, the two arrived at the entrance of the village.

It is a very small village, with only one street, and the number of houses is clear at a glance, and at the entrance there is a half-man-high wall of stones, which is overgrown with weeds.

Xiao and Su walked into the village, and several villagers who were working in the fields stopped their work and looked at the two of them.

Most of these small villages are very xenophobic, and even outsiders are not welcome to enter at all, so Xiao and Sa do not dare to let their guard down, and observe these villagers as they walk.

If it had been before, the two would definitely not have patronized such a closed village.

From the beginning, the goal was to find a big city, not a small village, because this kind of village is very dangerous, and there are often rumors that the whole village is involved in murder and wealth, and prisoners and daughters.

In the past, he had heard from the foot merchants that there was an unnamed village four or five days away from the town of Moorea, which had been slaughtered by the army sent by the lord of Leiden City a year ago.

The reason is that the youngest son of the lord of Leiden City secretly traveled with two maids, but was drowned in the latrine by the villagers of that village, and the two maids were imprisoned in the cellar for the villagers to play.

These villagers did not know the identity of the person they killed, or later the lord of Leiden City saw that his son had not returned for many days, so he sent an army to investigate, and only found out the truth by following the clues all the way through the military dog.

It can be said that this incident is particularly remembered by both Xiao and Suo, and directly dispelled the idea that the two of them secretly went out to explore the rivers and lakes back then.

However, this time is different, both of them now have weapons in their hands, and their bodies are protected by energy scales, even the murderous slave traders can't do anything about them, these villagers naturally don't need to be too afraid.

"Who are you?" asked a young man, patting the dirt off his body, standing in front of the fence.

Xiao smiled and said, "The two of us are adventurers who have traveled around, and we happen to be passing by here, so I hope we can buy some supplies with you, I don't know if it's okay?"

"Just you, adventurers?" the young man sneered sarcastically.

It's not that he underestimates people.

Whether it's Xiao or Suo, they all look like teenagers and girls, and at a glance, they know that they are minors who have not dried up, and the two little ghosts are also risky......

"Where is your house? I'll see if I can find a way to inform your family to come and pick you up. The young man continued.

The clothes of the two of them did not look like that of a big family, but the problem was that the weapons of the two were too delicate, so he suspected that Xiao and Su might be the young master and young lady in the big city, deliberately dressed like this.

Xiao frowned slightly, he realized in an instant that the young man had misunderstood their identities, and he was afraid that the other party would not believe anything he said now.

So he simply pulled out the dagger, and under the surprised gaze of the other party, he held the tip of the knife in his hand and handed the knife to the other party, and said: "Is it an adventurer, it's not you who have the final say, but the strength has the final say, I will give you a chance, you can attack me with this dagger, I won't fight back." ”

“......”

The young man was silent, neither taking the dagger nor speaking.

He didn't know what the owl's intentions were, and he had never seen anyone ask someone else to stab him with a knife in order to prove his identity.

"I'll try!"

At this moment, a young man stepped forward from behind the young man, took the dagger and said.

The young man immediately frowned and shouted, "Ma Ming!!"

"It's okay, let's try!" said the owl immediately.

The young man named Ma Ming immediately stabbed the owl with a dagger across the fence, but the dagger was blocked by energy scales before it could reach the shoulder.

Both the young man and Ma Ming's eyes widened, and they looked at the energy scales that suddenly appeared in surprise.

"Can you tell me now, is your village willing to sell something unimportant?" Owl asked, holding the dagger from Ma Ming's hand, and inserting it back into the holster at his waist.

The young man reacted and quickly nodded his head to indicate that he could.

"It's amazing, big brother, can I be an adventurer with you?" Ma Ming reacted at this time, trembling his shoulders and asking excitedly.

Xiao glanced at Ma Ming, shook his head and said, "I'm sorry, I already have a partner." ”

"I can add one more person, I have very good physical strength and can take care of things. "Ma Ming worked hard to sell himself.

But how could the owl accept a person he didn't know at all, although no one told him how precious "The Great Eat" was, but he was not a fool.

In the past, he had never heard of a way to become stronger just by eating, and he could even gain incredible abilities.

Once the news spread, he could be sure that all the city lords and nobles would be eyeing him.

Without sufficient strength, this is undoubtedly self-defeating.

On the road.

Ma Ming kept selling himself, and finally saw that Xiao was unmoved, so he hit the idea on Suo's body, but as soon as he got close to Suo, Suo pulled out a dagger and put it on his neck, and the cold air emitted by the sharp blade made him goosebumps all over his body, and he hurried away from Suo after a spirit.

The four of them walked to a relatively large earthen house, there was a tree at the door of the house, and under the tree sat an old man about fifty years old, and the young man stepped forward and said respectfully: "Village chief, this is a owl, a powerful adventurer, I hope to buy some supplies from us." ”

The village chief glanced at the owl and said, "I don't know what the little brother wants to buy, the village is poor, I'm afraid there is nothing to make the owl brother look at it." ”

"I want to buy an iron pot, an iron bowl, chopsticks, a kitchen knife......" Xiao said immediately.

The young man opened his mouth, but he didn't know what to say, it didn't sound like something an adventurer needed.

"Big brother, are you sure you're an adventurer, not a chef?" Ma Ming asked immediately.

With a natural expression, Xiao replied, "Why can't adventurers be kind to themselves?

“......”

Everyone else was silent.

In the end, it was the village chief who broke the silence and spoke: "These things can be sold to the two, but since the two are powerful adventurers, the old man has a reluctant request. ”

Don't talk about it if you don't want to do it.

Xiao looked at the village chief and thought silently in his heart.

The problem is that there is no such shop after this village, and now they have greatly deviated from their original destination, Leiden City, and it is really a few days to go to Leiden City, and the headquarters may continue to eat and sleep in the open for the past few days, using messy things to make kitchen utensils.

"You say, but we don't have to. He didn't say anything to death, it was so hard that he would have turned around and left.

The village chief didn't seem to really expect the two of them to solve it, so he nodded and said, "That's the reason, there has been a problem in our village recently, Ah Cheng, let's talk about it." ”

"Yes, village chief. The young man nodded.

He looked at the owl and introduced: "There is dry land near our village, and there is no water dragon passing underground, so if our village wants to get water, we need to go to Shuiyan Lake not far outside the village to get water, but recently there seem to be monsters in Shuiyan Lake." ”

Then, he carefully explained the original situation, and both Xiao and Su roughly understood what was going on.

To put it simply, there are monsters hiding in Shuiyan Lake, and if the villagers go to fetch water, they will be dragged into the lake by monsters and eaten if they are not careful, and three people have been killed.

Now everyone is afraid to approach Shuiyan Lake, but the villagers do not have much water to store, and if they continue, the villagers will have to migrate to other places to settle.

Of course, Ah Cheng said lightly, but in fact, everyone present understood that the migration of the whole village would inevitably cause a large number of casualties among the villagers, after all, it was likely to encounter wild beasts on the way.

"It's hard to talk about this matter, take me to Shuiyan Lake first. After listening to Ah Cheng's introduction, Xiao said with a frown.

Able to drag people into the water, the underwater monster is probably not weak, and may even be particularly large.

But everything needs to be seen with your own eyes to be sure.

Ah Cheng volunteered and promised to take the two to Shuiyan Lake, and Ma Ming followed up, but before he reached the entrance of the village, his old mother dragged his ears and sent him home grinning and unwilling.

The three of them left the village and followed a path that had been walked by the crowd, and in a few minutes they came to a small lake.

Standing dozens of meters away from the lake, Ah Cheng said, "There used to be a lot of geese in the lake, but about two years ago, all the geese disappeared. ”

The name Water Goose Lake is obviously derived from the Water Goose, but it is no longer worthy of the name.

The owl walked forward slowly, and Ah Cheng immediately reminded: "Be careful, the monster is hiding in the lake." ”

"Hmm. Xiao nodded and walked slowly forward.

The diameter of this lake is almost 180 meters, which is not a particularly large lake, but it can also be regarded as a deep pool.

When he walked to the lake, the lake was dark green, and there was a terrifying feeling when he looked at it, as if there was some behemoth in the water.

Although he has energy scale defense, the owl knows very well that once he is really dragged into the water, it is still a dead end, and the monster only needs to prevent him from rising, and he can easily drown him.

Therefore, he was still very cautious, and the reason why he dared to approach was because he could hear the sound underwater.

He picked up a stone and threw it directly into the center of the lake, causing a ripple in the water and making a 'pop' sound.

Gradually, he felt that something was not right, so he slowly retreated, and his pace gradually accelerated.

Suddenly, he slammed into the ground, and then the water suddenly exploded, and a huge strange fish bit with its mouth open, and bit right in the air.

"Monster, what a monster!" Cheng shouted with wide eyes and trembling legs.

The owl was under the jaw of the strange fish at this time, he did not panic, but quickly pulled out the dagger and stabbed the strange fish hard, but the sharp dagger fell on the scales and rubbed a large number of sparks.

At this time, the strange fish missed a blow, and its body quickly retreated, and it disappeared into the water in a blink of an eye.

Without saying a word, the owl turned around and ran, and the lake returned to calm, as if the strange fish was an illusion and had never appeared.

However, everyone present could be sure that a huge strange fish had just poked its head out of the water, and that head alone was the size of five owls, and it was estimated that it could swallow three owls in one bite.
