Levi nodded, this plot was not unexpected to him, because he obtained the mission item from the corpse of the other party after killing those White River Fishmen, and the original owner of the item certainly had a high chance of misfortune.

However, why is this white-haired village chief so scared?

"The village chief, do you know what family she has?"

Hearing Levi's question, the white-haired village chief tried to calm down, and forced a smile from his face: "Lord Hero, she was originally a hunter's wife, but after her disappearance, that hunter became more and more eccentric, he was originally a short-tempered person. Later, he even moved out of the village and lived like a savage in the forest to the south, and has not yet returned to the village, so we don't know exactly what he is doing now. ”

He's lying!

From the flickering eyes of the white-haired village chief, Levi was immediately sure that the other party was lying.

Although the intelligence level of this white-haired village chief was much higher than that of the ordinary soldiers around him, it was obvious that he had not yet perfected the skill of lying, so he was easily seen through by Levi.

"Heh, village chief, is that really the case? So what are you afraid of? ”

Levi glanced at the halberders standing beside the white-haired village chief, and the other swordsmen, although they were all just listening quietly, but it was obvious that their expressions had changed slightly when they heard the hunter, and they were also afraid!

"Originally, I came all the way from Oak Village to see if I could help people from other villages, but now it seems that you don't need my help, village chief." Levi shook his head with a slight sigh.

"That's right, village chief," Hua Meisi didn't understand much just now, so she didn't interject, but when she heard Levi say this, she nodded busily, "If you have anything, just say it." ”

Although she had experienced the previous events, she knew that she couldn't casually contact other people in the wild, especially those chosen heroes, but she was very enthusiastic about the current situation, after all, the environment in Oxhorn Village seemed to be much worse than that of Oak Village, and they definitely needed help more.

The white-haired village chief looked at Hua Meisi, I don't know how, he felt that the other party looked very kind, very much like his former granddaughter, if his granddaughter lived to this day, it is estimated that she is so old with the other party...

"Hey," the white-haired village chief sighed heavily, and then he arched his hand towards Levi, "Lord Hero, it's not that I deliberately lied to you, but our village has been attacked by some mysterious enemies in the past few days, and it just so happens that the Chosen Heroes have left recently, so we have to be so vigilant." ”

"Oh? What does that have to do with the owner of the necklace and the hunter you are talking about? Levi raised the necklace in his hand.

The white-haired village chief sighed again, and then began to give Levi a rough account of what had happened.

It turned out that there was a bandit group near Oxhorn Village, and under the leadership of a guy who claimed to be the leader of the bandit group, they rushed to Oak Village and threatened Oxhorn Village to give a specified amount of money within ten days, otherwise they would attack and kill all the people in Oxhorn Village.

Although Niujiao Village belonged to the Duke of Gissores, the Duke of Hagen under the Guisoris was busy fighting on the border at that time, and a group of green skins from the chaotic camp came from the northwest border, so it was impossible to send troops to rescue Niujiao Village in a short time.

The Giesoris Leader is tasked with guarding the border, and in comparison, the small problems here in Oxhorn Village are not a problem at all, and you can easily take out those robbers by sending a few knights and bringing some soldiers over.

So when he was forced to be helpless, Niujiao Village, who was unable to fight against the bandit group at all, agreed.

But the village itself does not have so much money at all, in order to get together that money, the villagers have to contribute, after all, it is not easy to establish any village, wild monsters and dangerous environment, will not give these ordinary villagers a way to live, if possible, they all want to do their best to keep their village.

The hunters went out to hunt, the blacksmiths worked hard to forge them, the herdsmen sold their livestock, and the owner of the necklace took a few peasant women to the White River to catch fish and shrimp.

At first, things went very smoothly, and through the efforts of the villagers, they finally managed to gather enough money for the robbers, but soon the bad news came, and several peasant women who went to Baihe were all missing, and some passers-by saw that some monsters that looked like fish had appeared there.

At first, the people of the village also searched for it en masse, but they could not find anything else on the ground except a little blood, and the peasant women must have been eaten by the monsters in the river.

Although full of grief and unwillingness, the villagers could only reluctantly accept it in the end. In this world full of aliens and evils, weak people like them may die from various accidents every day, but the survivors still have to persevere.

There was only one exception, and that was the husband of the owner of the necklace that Levi had brought back, and Dahl, the best hunter in Oxhorn Village.

After the others gave up the search, he insisted on going to the White River alone to search for it, and killed several fish-men with his own hands.

But as time passed, even he had to accept the cruel truth: his wife was really gone.

Dahl the Hunter finally gave up his search, and he began to hunt the fish-men in the White River, and his temper became more and more irritable and unsociable. But because of the tragedy that happened to him, no one had any good way to comfort him.

It wasn't until about ten days ago that Dahl, the hunter, had completely moved out of Horn Village and hid in the forest to the south, cutting ties with the village.

After listening to the whole story, Hua Meisi couldn't help but grab Levi's sleeve with tears in her eyes, although she didn't say anything because she knew to listen to Levi's, but the meaning she showed was already obvious.

Levi sighed, a little unable to stand the other party's big eyes.

This is also the reason why he has always personally negotiated with other natives, because although Bloomus is not merciless in killing monsters, whether it is a disgusting undead or a filthy beastman, she does not hesitate. But her personality is too simple and too easily influenced by feelings.

The village chief in front of him is okay, if he meets a mysterious wanderer Slaary who is as shrewd but has a darker personality, Levi has no doubt that Wallace will be sold and help them count the money.

After patting Hua Meisi's arm gently, Levi looked at the white-haired village chief in front of him: "But, village chief, you haven't talked about the most critical question, that is, why are you so wary of us, and why are you so afraid?" ”

The white-haired village chief gritted his teeth, because he knew that he couldn't avoid this question no matter what, and the heroes who usually circled around him were gone, and he didn't know if they would come back. At this time, the village was attacked, and he could only count on this strange hero in front of him.

Although he is far from familiar, at least the strength of the troops led by the other party behind him is definitely much stronger than those heroes who have been in his village.

"Hero, we are afraid precisely because Dahl the Hunter is now insane, and he thinks that we killed his wife on purpose, and he is now taking revenge on us. The reason why we are afraid of strangers is because Dahl has sent some robbers to attack us before, and, and he himself has become... ”

Speaking of this, the white-haired village chief lifted the leather armor of the halberd soldier beside him, and in Hua Meisi's exclamation, Levi also saw a hideous scar on the other party's waist, which was more than thirty centimeters long, and now it was still the appearance of skin and flesh turned out.

Although it was obviously covered with wound medicine, it was still very early to heal.

What surprised Levi even more was that the scar was a claw mark!

"This is what you said the hunter Dahl left behind?"

Levi carefully observed the scars on the halberd's body, the other party was obviously a fierce beast with sharp claws, and it was not small, if its claws and body were in line with the proportions of normal beast size, then it was at least a big guy with a length of more than two and a half meters.

But now the white-haired village chief in front of him said that this was left by the hunter Dahl?

"That's right, Lord Hero, Hunter Dahl has turned into a beast more than two meters tall, and his head has also turned into a wolf's head, and if we hadn't recognized him from his clothes, we wouldn't have believed it was real!"

Since he had decided to tell the matter, the white-haired village chief didn't hide it anymore, and directly said it all happily.

"The fellow came to the village with some strangers, but before he could say a word, he let out a frightening cry, and then became a humanoid beast, and attacked our guards, and the fellows who followed him also attacked. But then, probably because of the timely warning and desperate resistance of our guards, the soldiers in the village also rushed over quickly, and they ran away when they saw that the situation was not good. ”

After a pause, the white-haired village chief bent down deeply and saluted Levi: "Lord Hero, please save us, Hunter Dahl thinks that we killed his wife, he has fallen into mixed with robbers, and even turned into a beast, a wolf-headed monster, he will definitely not let us go!" ”

The system's prompt immediately popped up, asking Levi to eradicate the fallen mutant hunter Dahl, and after the matter is completed, in addition to the basic experience and monetary rewards, Levi's reputation in Horn Village will also be greatly improved, and it is estimated that he can almost directly reach the level of respect, and the recruitment authority of Hornhorn Village will also be completely open to Levi.

Although most of the mission rewards are a bit unsightly for Levi now, this is probably the highest level of reward that Oxhorn Village can offer, but it can also be seen that this hunter Dahl has really scared them a lot.

Levi nodded noncommittally and took on the task. After asking for details and where Dahl the Hunter had appeared before, Levi left with his men.

After leaving the confines of Oxhorn Village, Levi led his troops to the Nameless Forest mentioned by the village chief of Oxhorn Village, where it is said that the hunter Dahl had been hiding before, and Levi wanted to go there first to collect some information.

Not long after entering the Nameless Forest, Levi and the others encountered some beastly enemies, including coyotes, wild dogs, large spiders, and so on.

However, in general, they are only some 0th and 1st order troops, and there is no threat to the current Levi and the others, just a little waste of time, and they successfully arrived at the place mentioned by the village chief.

The wooden house, which was obviously built by man, was still quite conspicuous in this pristine nameless forest, and it was quite large enough to accommodate dozens of people.

"My lord, I feel like there are at least three squads of enemies there." Halfling Ranger Al suddenly issued a warning, and confirmed Levi's suspicion in disguise.

"Well, I see, everyone stay vigilant, Tanato, you bring a team of halberders, guards Davi, you bring a team of swordsmen, well, and bring a foot squire, you surround from both sides, don't expose it for the time being, anyway, the trees here are very dense enough to block most of the view, and the others will go with me first."

Levi quickly laid out the battle plan.

According to the white-haired old village chief of Niujiao Village, the robbers led by the hunter Dahl were briefly blocked by the guards in their village, until the village chief brought the troops to the scene to support in person, and the other party still did not break through the guards' defenses, and Levi had already roughly estimated the strength of the other party.

After all, the guard force in the entire Niujiao Village now only has about 1 squad of 2nd order soldiers, and the troops carried by the mutated hunter Dahl are definitely not much stronger, the only thing that needs to be paid attention to is the mutant hunter Dahl himself.

Because according to what the village chief said, he can transform into a wolf-headed monster, Levi has already instructed his subordinates to pay extra attention, because according to the description of the white-haired village chief, the other party's form after transformation is estimated to be similar to the jackal man that Levi has encountered, and the appearance should be not too different.

Levi's troops quickly carried out his orders, but as they approached, Levi suddenly heard a fierce quarrel and loud shouting from the wooden house, and he immediately ordered his troops to stop for a moment and listen to what the other party was saying.

Then he heard a man inside scolding loudly: "Last time, it was because of you that we failed to attack Niujiao Village, since you are so uncooperative, then I will let you taste a little more bitterness, beat me, fight hard, anyway, there is that thing, he can't die if he wants to!" ”

"Yes, Boss!"

Someone in the house soon responded, and then there was a sound of whipping on his body and a low wail, and Levi soon saw the cabin open from the inside, and a guy with a fur hat and a long sword at his waist, dressed as an adventurer, walked out, and he was followed by several human males who looked crooked and cracked, and who were not good things at first glance.

And if Levi's is not mistaken, what the other party is holding in his hand seems to be a kind of tobacco?

But Levi didn't have time to think about anything more, because the village chief of Oxhorn Village had described to him that the guy dressed as an adventurer was the guy who had blackmailed Hornhorn Village, and he was also the owner of the current mutant hunter Dahl's allegiance, the leader of the bandit group, and now the other party had also discovered himself and the others!

Seeing that the leader of the bandit regiment opened his mouth, he was about to shout, but Levi had already taken the lead in giving the order: "Attack!" ”

Following Levi's order, Hunter John immediately commanded the archers to shoot, and more than a dozen arrows flew straight towards the leader of the bandit group, holding back the words he was about to shout, and he pulled a person directly from behind him to block him, and then hurriedly retreated into the house.

The poor guy was directly hit by more than ten arrows at the same time, and even Levi didn't have time to estimate the number of troops the other party was by the damage number, and the guy was directly killed.

However, Levi still roughly judged from the experience points that the opponent should be a second-order class.

"Damn it, who sent you? Is it a crooked mouth, or a gray fang? Some angry men's voices came from inside the hut, and from the sounds, it was clear that he was the leader of the bandit group just now.

"Looks like you have a lot of enemies?"

Although I don't know who the two nicknames that the other party said belong to, but if I think about the identity of the other party, Levi knows that it is probably the other party's competitor, that is, the nickname that belongs to the leader of the other bandit group.

"But I'm afraid you're mistaken, we don't know them, and we're here to avenge what you did to Oxhorn Village!"

Levi said a few words casually, and then he was satisfied to find that his melee troops were all in place, and no matter how many people there were on the other side, they would definitely not be able to escape.

"What? Were you sent by the Giesorius Lord? ”

The leader of the bandit group was obviously taken aback, but he quickly made a decision, "Everyone, rush out for me, since the Gisoris leader has sent people, there will definitely be no way for us to live, everyone fights with them!" ”
