Chapter 12: The Nameless Village
After replying to the message, Ouyang City Lord was still looking at the file. According to my calculations, this incident should be a task, and it is very likely to be a main quest related to the City Lord's Mansion, even if it is not the main line, it can also brush up on the favor of the City Lord, and it must be won quickly.
"Uncle Ouyang, do you have any arrangements now, do you need to investigate this matter?"
Ouyang City Lord raised his head and said, "That's the case, the people in the official mansion are basically busy, and they can't pull out a little bit, but it doesn't matter, I will ask the above for additional manpower." ”
"In this way, Uncle Ouyang, I think my friends and I can do this job, after all, there is no manpower in the mansion, and the people who have increased the staff don't know when they will arrive, so let's investigate first."
City Lord Ouyang stared at me for a while, and I was a little hairy.
"Okay, have the courage, I'll leave this matter to you first, of course, it's okay to call you and your friend, but just stay safe. The mountain where the problem was found is ten miles south of the city, so it's best to find some helpers. This is no joke, and it is best to investigate the origin of this demonic energy. Remember not to alarm the villagers, the influence of demonic energy is relatively large, and you need to investigate secretly, remember! ”
"Ouyang Qian, the city lord of Pengcheng, has issued you a team mission: Missing villagers. Acceptable or not. ”
"Ouyang Qian, the city lord of Pengcheng, has issued you a team mission: the origin of demonic energy. Acceptable or not. ”
Naturally, I want to take it all, two tasks at a time, and I can complete it together, which is really good.
"Thank you, Uncle Ouyang, I'll go find a few helpers first......" I thanked him, and I immediately rushed out of the door.
"Wait, take me with you!"
I had already guessed that Zixuan's fiery personality would definitely be noisy to go together, so in order not to take her with her, I had to evacuate quickly.
After leaving, I found that I really wanted to have never been to this urban area, and after a long time, I didn't understand where it was, so I had to go to a nearby grocery store and buy a map of Pengcheng, only to find that Pengcheng turned out to be a city with two systems, and the square in the city I saw before was the Cultivator's Square, and now the place where I am located is in the ordinary urban area, and the ordinary urban area is built around the Cultivator's Square. I entered through the west gate, and now I have come to the vicinity of the north gate for a long time, and naturally my eyes are black......
I went to the tea room and waited for a long time before Ling Feng came galloping with a spear on his back. When I got to the tea room, I picked up the teacup and poured it violently.
"Big brother, what's so urgent, can't you wait for me for a while, just now I went around the city lord's mansion for a long time, looking for a lot of people, before I came out, wait for me to rest for a while, just ...... for a while"
It's going to come again, I can't stand it, I have to interrupt, I have to let him continue, I don't want to go to the mission.
"So you stop for a while, I'll order some pastries to eat a little together, get back to a little fullness, and we'll go after eating." The pastries came up, and in order to stop his mouth, I said while eating, "I discussed with the city lord and took on a big task, and I will go to the mountain ten kilometers south of Chengnan, eat and drink enough to get on the road, and the specific task is to investigate the source of the demonic qi and find the missing villagers." ”
It took dozens of silver coins to finally get full of food. shared the task and immediately rushed to the south of the city.
It took a few hours to finally reach the foot of the mountain, and it was not too early. In order not to sleep in the wild at night, I had to look for a nearby mountain village first.
After searching for a long time, I finally found a village near the heart of an inconspicuous valley. But I always felt that there was something wrong with this village, the village was not very big, but there were only a dozen small houses. There is no fence at the head of the village, and the roads in the village should be stepped on by people who have walked too much, and it may even be very muddy on rainy days. Most of the houses in the village have thatched roofs, and they look very poor.
The only animals in the village are chickens, and no other animals or livestock have been seen. I didn't see anyone in the village, and if it weren't for the chickens, it would be like no one. Ling Feng and I slowly walked into the village, observing the surroundings.
The house farthest from the village rose a faint white smoke, which looked very strange. He glanced at Ling Feng and slowly touched it.
"Hurry up, this and this are not chopped together, this and this are ...... together", only to hear the sound of the ping pong cracking, but the room became silent.
"This wilderness, this can't be a personal butcher's shop, it's so terrifying. Big brother, what are you doing here......"
I put my finger to my lips and motioned for him to be silent, and looked through the crack in the door to see a few rural women and a few women picking up the pieces. Just as we were about to sneak away, several figures suddenly appeared behind us and controlled us. He was immediately hooded and thrown into a room.
After a while, I heard a "squeak", which seemed to be the sound of the door being opened, and then the hood was removed. Finally, I saw that the light was on, and it was not dark yet. Two big men, armed with spears, stood in front of us.
"Say, who are you?"
I glanced at Ling Feng and felt that there was something wrong with this group of people.
"Hello, we are travelers from the capital. I heard the story here, I wanted to come here to see and learn, and I ended up in your village. We saw that there was no one in the village, and we saw white smoke coming from your kitchen, so we wanted to go and find something to eat. I've been arrested by you, and I want to ask you where you are? ”
The two men looked at me and turned to go out. I turned my head to look at the rope tied to our hands and snorted Ling Feng. With Ling Feng's intelligence, he naturally knew what I was thinking. The two of us approached each other, back to back, untying each other's ropes. This is a young man in a white gown who came in, and we had to stop. After looking around us, he suddenly pulled out a sharp knife and put it around my neck.
"Tell me, where are you from, it's better to tell the truth, don't play tricks!" After saying that, he slapped me in the face with a sharp knife.
Looking at his sharp knife, we quickly untied our hands again.
"Brother, we said that we are travelers from the capital, and if you don't believe me, I can't help it." He quickly untied his rope and glanced at his attributes.
Characters: The head of the nameless village, Yun Haifan; Level 3; Jing 398; Qi 107; Attack 24-37; Defense 4; Resistance None; Dodge 9; Power 6; stamina 26; Speed 18; Skill none.
It's not that strong, and it's only 13 skills with a dagger, and the attack power is really not high, and this speed still doesn't pose a threat to me.
"If you dare to be hard-mouthed, I'll give you a knife first, see if you still dare to be hard-mouthed." As he spoke, he was about to plunge the sharp knife into my shoulder, I was being bound, it was in a controlled state, and if I was pierced, I would be directly hurt.
It was too late, but it was too fast, and the rope in his hand was untied. I immediately grabbed his right hand with the knife with my left hand to prevent him from piercing it, and immediately gave him a palm with my right hand to push him away. Quickly took out the novice long sword from the backpack, cut the foot rope on the leg, grabbed Yun Haifan, and held the long sword against his neck. Ling Feng grabbed the sharp knife on the ground and immediately cut the foot rope while pulling out a large knife.
At this time, the big man outside heard the movement in the room and immediately slammed the door and entered. Ling Feng immediately rushed to the door and kicked out, forcing the big man out of the door. I took a look at the current environment and immediately pushed Yun Haifan out.
There were a few people outside the house, and the young men in the other rooms heard the sound of the fight and gathered with weapons.
"Get out of the way, or I'll kill him with a knife, all go, back down, back away." I pulled Yun Haifan and threatened the villagers.
The villagers watched me grab their village chief and retreat step by step, and could only watch me walk out with Yun Haifan. coerced Yun Haifan to the entrance of the village when he came, and the villagers also walked around to the entrance of the village, ready to go one by one.
"Don't follow, or I'll kill him!"
The sword I pressed against his neck was a little harder, and it was already strangled with blood. When the villagers saw this, they had no choice but to retreat slowly. After we exited the entrance of the village, we kicked Yun Haifan out, and fled quickly without looking back. When the villagers saw that we had released them, the village chief stopped chasing them......
