Chapter 28: Fate and Responsibility

The depths of the crocodile territory are no longer swamps, the jungle is dense with vegetation and many frolicking birds singing merrily on the branches.

If it weren't for the fact that there were many crocodiles basking in the sun on the ground, Su Fan would still think that he was enjoying the beautiful scenery in a wild resort.

Just when Su Fan was struggling with how to fight, he suddenly seemed to have discovered something, and his eyes widened in disbelief.

It turned out that Su Fan saw a wisp of white smoke floating out of the deepest part of the crocodile territory, the color of the white smoke was very light, it should not be the toxic gas emitted by the factory, it was more like the smoke of cooking at home.

Driven by curiosity, Su Fan planned to continue to find out.

Lifting the natural grass barrier in front of him, what greeted Su Fan's eyes was an old house with a slight sense of age, the style of the building was not like the house in Su Fan's world, the peculiar shape Su Fan seemed to have seen in history textbooks, this seems to be the old building in China in the 20th century.

Soothing the turmoil in his heart, Su Fan walked into the building.

Maybe it's been a long time since anyone has cleaned it, the house is covered with cobwebs, fortunately, Su Fan is not afraid of these small insects, if a few girls from the team come, they will definitely be so frightened that they will turn around and run.

If you see cooking smoke outside, it means that there are NPCs living in it, so why not clean up this somewhat dilapidated house.

With questions, Su Fan walked to the kitchen in the building, and the smoke outside really came from here, only to see a gray-haired old man sitting by the fire and pulling the bellows.

Hearing Su Fan's voice, the old man didn't turn his head, he only focused on the tools in his hand, so much so that he ignored everything else.

Su Fan waited a little impatiently, but he still asked politely, "Grandpa, why are you here?" Did you come out of the village? ”

The old man nodded confusedly, and then shook his head again, Su Fan could see that the old man was unwilling to answer his question.

Su Fan was not discouraged, he knew that it was very difficult to change a person's attitude, but how could he know if it would work if he didn't try, and Su Fan believed that his sincerity would definitely impress the old man.

"Grandpa, you can assign me the task."

The old man remained silent.

"Grandpa, are you uncomfortable?"

Silent!

Silent!

............

Su Fan had already done his best, he gritted his teeth and asked the last question, if the old man hadn't responded, he would choose to leave.

"Grandpa, do you know Lina from the village shop?"

The reason why Su Fan asked this question was because he felt that there was a slight similarity in the appearance of the two.

The old man's confused and cloudy eyes finally became clear, "Granddaughter is grandpa, can't stand you, grandpa didn't protect everyone." ”

The old man didn't say that Lina was her granddaughter, but Su Fan could vaguely feel the old man's trembling when Lina was mentioned, and the granddaughter he was referring to was Lina unexpectedly.

Clearing his thoughts, Su Fan said, "Lina is not dead, and the village is fine!" ”

As soon as the words fell, Su Fan felt a gust of cold wind hit his face, and when he reacted, a big hand full of wrinkles was already held around Su Fan's neck, Su Fan was shocked, he didn't see the old man's movements clearly at all.

"Are you sure? If you lie, I'll be the first to kill you! ”

From the old man's skills, where can you still see the traces of time, and the movement of walking like flying is simply what it looks like when he is in his thirties.

Su Fan didn't dare to resist, he smelled a trace of danger from the old man's momentum, and this feeling of facing danger was even far greater than the impact of several masters in the World Series.

If it was only this, Su Fan would not be afraid, what really made his heart palpitate was the murderous aura emanating from the old man's body, this kind of murderous aura could not be formed without the baptism of thousands of troops on the battlefield, Su Fan knew that if he made any moves, the old man would kill himself first.

"Lina is not dead, I also received her task, I don't believe that we will go back and see when we complete the task."

Of course, Su Fan didn't want to take the old man back, who knew if the old man would suddenly go crazy when he saw his granddaughter.

"What's your mission?"

"Kill the Crocodile King."

The old man shook his head and said with some disappointment: "Then you give up!" ”

Su Fan didn't understand what the old man meant, "Why?" ”

The old man looked at the weapon on Su Fan's body with disdain, and let go of the hand that was holding Su Fan's neck, "What are you doing with this tattered equipment to compete with the Crocodile King." ”

Seeing that Su Fan was silent, the old man continued, "After the goods in the village were robbed, I personally came out to deal with these monsters after discussing with the village chief, I thought it would be a very easy errand, but after arriving here, I found that I was not facing a crocodile king, but the three leaders of wild boar, wild wolf and crocodile. ”

Su Fan didn't interject, he just wanted to listen to the story quietly before judging.

"In the face of the three leaders, I didn't choose to retreat, these leaders are spiritual creatures, they know where the village is stationed, and letting go of any leader may bring uncrowned disaster to the village, although I know that I may die, but in the face of mission and responsibility, how can I be the one who is greedy for life and afraid of death?"

"Then how did the old man deal with these leaders?"

Su Fan expressed deep disdain for the old man's betrayal behavior, but where did he dare to show it, he had to use questions to urge the old man to hurry up.

"I used the most powerful skill to seal these leaders with my life, but people are not as good as heaven, and these leaders have long guessed that I will use this trick, so they arranged the spatial passage in advance and escaped."

Su Fan didn't believe the old man's words, but he felt that the facts were different from what he saw.

"But I can't feel any wisdom from the wolf king and the wild boar boss, how can I arrange the space passage without thought?"

The old man smiled and nodded, "All skills that defy the sky have side effects, seals are like this, and the spatial passage is like this, and the price that the leader who escapes will pay is the loss of his spiritual intelligence." ”

The old man smiled kindly, "The forbidden technique of using the seal will drain my life force, but I don't regret it, because this is my responsibility, not to mention that there is also my lovely granddaughter Lina in the village." ”

"But you're not dead, you're still alive, and we can go back to the village now!"

The old man's eyes radiated a striking light, but in an instant, he showed a helpless expression.

"I can't leave, although I didn't pay with my life, but in order to stop the strongest of the three leaders, the crocodile king, I have become blind, if I leave, the forbidden art that no one maintains will inevitably make the crocodile king rush out, and then it will be the end of the village."
