When I got back to the place where I was fishing, the dead body that had been floating on the surface of the water was gone. At first, I thought the body had fallen into the river again and been swept away by the running water. Seeing that my fish was still there, I didn't think much about it anymore and quickly picked up the fish cage and ran home.

When I got home, I made a big pot of fish soup for my mother with the fish I caught. At that meal, my mother ate a lot and kept praising me, and the whole family was very happy. Later, I don't know if it was because of that fish soup that my mother's illness was cured quickly.

More than half a year passed like this, until one day, a group of merchants got lost in the mountains. They walked in the woods for many days, and before they knew it, they had come to our village. In fact, our village is very secretive, so few outsiders can find it.

In the early years, in order to escape the disturbances of the world, more than 100 people in the village trekked through mountains and rivers and searched for a long time before settling here. For the sudden appearance of the merchants, the villagers were a little wary at first. However, then they behaved very well. So, they took them in. After a long time, everyone let down their vigilance.

The people of the village had not been in contact with the outside world for many years, and in the few days when the merchants were there, they told the village elders a lot about what was happening outside. The elders were thrilled to learn about what was going on outside, and they were very grateful to them. Later, a bonfire was held in the village as a way to express our gratitude.

Bonfires are only held when we celebrate festivals and pay tribute to our ancestors. That night, everyone was very happy. Moreover, the elders poured a bucket of holy water from our holy well and drank it from them.

The holy water contains a huge amount of spiritual energy, and only cultivators in the village are qualified to drink it. To show our enthusiasm, we gave them to enjoy. This shows how much we respect them.

And it is precisely because of everyone's selflessness that the whole village has been destroyed. Who knew that the group had evil thoughts, and during the bonfire party, they always changed their methods to inquire about the origin of this holy well.

In fact, the well already existed before the ancestors came here. In addition to escaping from the outside world, a large part of the reason why they chose to settle here was the well. The well water contains a huge amount of spiritual energy, which can be of great help to cultivators.

Actually, the people in our village don't know why the well water is rich in aura, but they just regard it as a gift from heaven. That night, the merchant took advantage of the drunkenness and locked us all up. They refused to give us food or drink, and tried their best to torture us and force us to tell us the whereabouts of the treasures. But how do we know what treasures? Eventually, when they saw that we still refused to tell us the whereabouts of the treasure, they began to kill until we were willing to tell why.

Finally, one day, it was our family's turn. They first whipped us, but when they saw that we still couldn't come up with a reason. So, they plan to kill us. I was afraid that my family would be harmed, so I lied and told them that I knew where the treasure was. However, they want me to tell them that they have to release the villagers first.

The merchants also suspected me of lying to them, but promised not to hurt the villagers for the time being. And they promised that if I took them to find the treasure, not only would it not hurt us, but they would also give us a large amount of resources as compensation.

But they couldn't all go with me to find the treasures, so after some discussion, they chose four people to go with me to find the treasures, and the rest of them stayed in the village to watch over the other villagers. Actually, I don't know anything about the treasure, I just know that there is a forest not far from our village. It was foggy for many years, visibility was very poor, and there was miasma. If a person is trapped in it for a long time, he will surely die.

In the past, the elders of the village always strictly forbade the villagers to go hunting in that forest. So, I led the four men to the woods, quietly leaving marks along the way, hoping that by the time the time would come to find my way back. At first, the four men didn't notice anything wrong. As we walked farther and farther, the fog became thicker and thicker, and in the end, it was difficult to see the people around me.

So they asked me if I could tell the way, and just then, the birds and beasts around me flew away. Suddenly, everyone became nervous for some reason, and an inexplicable sense of danger crept in. At this time, I took advantage of the fact that they had relaxed their guards on me and ran away.

The fog in the woods was so great that when the robbers saw me fleeing, they chased me after me. They couldn't see me, but, with the sound of my panicked footsteps, they were still chasing me closely.

I knew that if I kept running like this, I would fall into their hands sooner or later. So, I ducked into a bush, holding my breath and trying not to make a noise.

Through the cracks in the trees, I could see the robbers searching for me near where I was hiding. Suddenly, I don't know what happened at this time, and the four people were caught by some monster one after another on the tree.

The fog was so thick that I couldn't see what was happening to them, except for the frightened screams of the men. Subsequently, their bodies fell from the trees one by one.

I was so scared that I hid there and didn't move. After a long time, I felt no movement around me before I crawled out. Next, I saw the bodies of the four men nearby, and found that they were all dead, and their faces were pale and bloodless, and their skin was dry as if they had been dead for many years.

When I saw this, I was so scared that I just wanted to get out of here. At that moment, my eyes went black and I fainted. And the moment I fainted and closed my eyes, I saw a man with a tattoo on his arm, a black tiger head.

When I woke up, I found that I was no longer in that foggy forest, but lying by the small river not far from our village.

What surprised me even more was the change in my body, my strength and movement speed improved dramatically. At the same time, the strength of the body can be comparable to that of cold iron, and the hearing of the ears has also improved a lot.

I don't know what happened while I was asleep, but I knew it was time to rescue my fellow villagers. So, after nightfall, I sneaked back into the village and waited for the opportunity to kill all the robbers.

It didn't take long for the opportunity to come. It may have been that they had drunk too much, and one of them came out of the tent and went to pee in a nearby grove. I sneaked up behind him, and when he was defenseless, I plunged my blade-like hand directly into his heart from behind his back.
