Ding——

A crisp sound of gold and iron rang out, and the spear swept over his head, sweeping away another broadsword.

It's psychic.

More pigman warriors rushed forward, slashing down with several broadswords.

As soon as the blood moon came out, it turned into a three-foot long sword in the moonlight, raised his hand and swept it, cutting off several large knives together.

I steadied myself and kicked out, sending a pigman warrior flying and smashing it into his companion behind him.

The moment before I kicked him, I had reined in my strength so as not to kick him to death.

Ding——

Ding——

Behind him came the sound of hand-to-hand combat.

Turning around, it was the spirit that was engaged with the captain of the pigmen.

I took a big step with my right foot, squatted, and swept with my left leg.

The Captain of the Pigmen loses his center of gravity and falls backwards.

With a thud, he slammed to the ground, and at the same time, I was back on my feet, the tip of my sword against his throat.

"Stop!"

I let out a loud shout, and the pigs who were about to rush forward stopped their bodies.

The captain of the pigman lay on the ground and shouted:

"Leave me alone, kill them."

The pigmen gathered around looked at each other and did not move.

After a few moments, a pigman shouted:

"Let go of the captain, spare you from death!"

"Tell your patriarch to come out and talk, and I will let him go."

Captain Pigman shouted:

"Want to see the patriarch? You don't have that qualification. Everyone went up together and cut them down. ”

The other pigman warriors still looked at each other, hesitating.

Suddenly, the captain of the pigman jerked his head and slammed into the tip of the sword, but luckily I pulled the sword back in time, otherwise he would have died.

The next moment, he kicked his feet violently, and his entire body slid backwards against the ground, out of the range of the long sword's attack.

"Kill!"

The pigs rushed again with big swords and axes.

"Stop!"

An old voice came, and the pigs stopped moving.

After a few moments, they made way to the two sides, and an old pig man on crutches walked tremblingly with the support of several young pig men.

The captain of the pigmen bowed to him and said:

"Patriarch, why did you come out?"

"Alas! He's just spared your life, so let them go. ”

A moment later, the Pigman Patriarch looked at me again.

"Human, go back."

He was so close to me that if I rushed up at this point, I could easily catch him.

But listening to him, he is obviously much more sensible than those pig warriors.

Changed my mind.

I bowed slightly, bowed, and said:

"Hello patriarch, I'm a hero, I'm not here tonight to cause trouble, but I want to discuss something with you."

He looked at me for a moment and asked:

"What's the matter?"

"It's about the ...... of the Holy Lake"

"Not negotiable."

With that, he turned around slowly.

"Patriarch!" I shouted.

He looked back and said:

"We can't afford to lose the Holy Lake, please go back."

After that, he stopped paying attention to me.

A rare opportunity, you can't return in vain.

I rushed towards him.

During this time, many large swords and axes were chopped in, and I cut them with my long sword.

Running out of the way of the pigmen, I rushed straight in front of the patriarch, my sword across his neck.

"Patriarch, can you let me go in and sit for a while."

He hesitated for a moment before he said:

"Okay!"

When I came to the nearest tent and made sure that there were no pigmen inside, I glanced at the pigmen warriors who wanted to surround me, and said to the patriarch:

"Let them go, as long as they don't come closer, I won't hurt you."

He didn't turn around, and waved his hand with his back to the Captain Pigmen.

"Patriarch!"

"Scattered!"

When the pigmen dispersed, I sent a message to Liya on my private channel to ask her to come over.

When Liya came, I asked her to stay at the door of the tent with the spirit to keep the other pigmen from coming, while I followed the patriarch into the tent.

"Patriarch," I said, retracting my sword:

"Marina City can provide you with a place to live if you wish......"

"There's no way we're going to give up the Holy Lake."

"Why?"

He fell silent, his head bowed, not knowing what he was thinking.

I waited quietly.

"Alas!"

He sighed, then fell silent again.

"Is there any difficulty for the patriarch?"

He didn't answer.

I continued:

"I'm a hero, I have powers that ordinary people don't have, and I may be able to help you solve your problems."

He shook his head.

"You can't help us."

"Let's talk about it, even if I can't help, I still know some powerful friends, and I will always think of a way."

"Ahh

He sighed again and said helplessly:

"The moon is going to be full again......"

"Huh?"

Is the moon going round again?

So what?

It's a pity he didn't continue.

Why didn't you tell me?

"Patriarch, are you willing to give up the Holy Lake as long as this difficulty is solved?"

"It's not that you don't want to give up, but you can't."

"Why the hell?"

Well, it's back around.

After being silent for a long time, he still refused to speak.

"Patriarch, do you know that I can kill you at any time if I want to?"

"Huh."

He looked at me.

"Human, do you think you still care about life and death at my age?"

I looked at him and said slowly:

"What about your people? Do you care about their life and death? ”

He narrowed his eyes and stared at me tightly.

"Hehehehe."

He laughed again, and after a moment he stopped laughing and said:

"Human, although I don't know what you mean by hero, I know that you alone don't have the strength to make our heroic people fearful, even if you let the army of Primordial City come over."

"And what if it's a dragon?"

"Dragons?" He was visibly stunned.

"Yes, it's a dragon."

"Can you call the dragon?"

He shook his head and said:

"I don't believe it."

"Liya."

I shouted outside.

The curtain was lifted, and Liya's little head poked in.

"Master, what's the matter?"

"Let Nilou come over for a moment."

"Hmm."

The Pigman Patriarch squinted at me, and I looked at him.

They looked at each other like this, and there was silence for a long time.

"Roar—"

A dragon groan suddenly sounded, deafening.

He shuddered and looked in the direction of the veil.

"Oh my God, it's a dragon!"

"The dragon is coming!"

Outside, the terrified shouts of the pigmen kept ringing out.

The curtain was lifted again, but it was the spirit that hurriedly walked in.

"Chen Yingying, the dragon is here, should we evacuate first?"

She looked nervous, obviously afraid of a top-level monster like a dragon.

Didn't Liya explain it to her?

"It's okay, the dragon won't hurt you."

I didn't tell her about the dragon, the less people knew, the better.

She looked at me for a moment of silence and then walked outside.

When she was out, I spoke again to the Pigman Chief:

"Does the patriarch believe it?"

"Alas!"

He sighed again, pulled over a chair beside him, and sat down feebly.

He hung his head, shrugged his head, and his two palm-sized pig ears pressed against his expressionless face.

"That's my secret, it's our weakness, can you please don't tell anyone else?"

"Patriarch rest assured."

"Presumably you should know that our people will transform, and the power of the transformation will be even stronger."

"Yes."

"Actually, that's not our power, it's a curse."

"Cursed?"

"Yes. We were cursed thousands of years ago. On a full moon night, we will automatically transform, and then we will temporarily lose our consciousness and only know how to kill, which will lead to cannibalism among our people. Becoming stronger is just to make the cannibalism of our people more miserable. ”

Such a cruel curse?

Who cursed them, who hated them so much, who had such great power to keep the curse going for a thousand years?

I shuddered unconsciously.

However, no matter who cursed it, that person should have died a long time ago, right? After all, a thousand years have passed.

"Could it be that the Holy Lake can free you from the power of the curse?"

The pigman patriarch nodded slowly and said:

"That's why we can't leave the Holy Lake, and if it weren't for it, we would have exterminated ourselves sooner or later."

"Then have you investigated why the Holy Lake can free you from the curse?"

"No need to investigate, our ancestors once said that it was the blessing of the goddess who helped us counteract the curse, and the goddess lived on an island in the middle of the lake."

"The blessing of the goddess? What goddess? Is there really a god in this world? ”

Although I used to be a second-year teenager, I always thought that gods did not exist until I crossed into this world and gained the power of heroes.

Does God exist?

I'm not sure now.

The pig-man patriarch looked up at the top of the tent, and after a moment of silence, he said:

"The ancestors said that the goddess came from the sky, so she must be a god."

"Moreover, the sacred lake was created by the power of the goddess."

Maybe there really is a god in this world.

Regardless of whether there is a god or not, since they can't leave the holy lake because of the curse, if I find a way to help them solve this problem, they will give up.

I looked at the pigman patriarch and asked:

"If I could help you with the curse, would you like to move to Marina City?"

"Of course, we don't want war either. Just, is there anything you can do to fix it? ”

"I want to go to the island in the middle of the lake to investigate ......"

"No way!" The Pigman Patriarch suddenly interrupted me, stared at me viciously and warned:

"Humans are not allowed to set foot there."

"Why?"

"Because it is a holy place, a place where the goddess lives."

"That'...... Well, I'll find another way. ”

In fact, it's just a perfunctory look at him, I'm going to quietly investigate the small island of the holy lake, how would he know?

Since the Pig People are desperately fighting for the Sacred Lake because of the curse, will the Fish People have a similar problem?

"Does the Patriarch know why the Fish-People are fighting for the Sacred Lake?"

"They can't leave the water source for a long time, or their bodies will rot, and the holy lake is the ideal habitat for them."

By the way, the fish-people are fish bodies and human heads, and they really can't leave the water source for a long time.

It seems that they are all forced to be helpless!

Hey, no, Marina City is close to the sea, and the holy lake is not far to the east is the sea, where the water is more abundant?

Then why did the Fish-People fight desperately for the Holy Lake?

Is there any particular reason for this?

I couldn't think of it, so I had to ask the patriarch of the pigmen:

"Does the patriarch know why the Fish-People didn't move to the sea? After all, there is more water there. ”

He glanced at me like a fool.

"They're freshwater fish."

"Huh?"

I screamed in surprise, I didn't expect this to be the reason.
