Chapter 202: The Liberated Village
Jiao Wen waved his hand at the man, motioning for him to come over, the man hesitated, seeing that Jiao Wen seemed to be indeed a human, and then did not find the existence of the big toad nearby, and slowly walked over, "My lord, did you see a huge toad monster?" ”
"See, what? Are you familiar with it? Jiao Wen glanced at this man and said, could this person be the lackey of the toad, then Jiao Wen is going to clean the portal for humans.
"No, no, my lord, you better hurry up, if it comes back, it will definitely sit you to death." The man waved his hand and said hurriedly, then lowered his head and thought for a second or two, then raised his head and continued, "Also, I hope that after you leave, you can help us find some demon slayers, and we will definitely remember your great kindness." ”
"Demon slayer? Why don't you find it yourself? And if you're scared, why don't you leave? Jiao Wen asked a little strangely, it seems that this man is not tied up or something.
"We don't dare, if we run away, our village will have to send double the manpower, or the village will be slaughtered." The man said pitifully, then looked up, "My lord, you better leave with your guard, or it won't be good to wait for it to come back." ”
"Then you don't have to worry, the toad you mentioned is right next to your feet." Jiao Wen put a piece of meat on top of the bonfire, and then said to the man without looking at him.
Yes? The man opened his mouth, he thought that the meat on the ground was transported by Jiao Wen for barbecue, but he didn't expect the barbecue to be a barbecue, just a local material, he quickly turned over the piece of meat next to him, looked at the familiar green skin with tears in his eyes, and finally got free, and after crying for more than ten seconds, he ran back to the cave like crazy.
Jiao Wen glanced at it and ignored it, and when he came out again, he took several other people with him, and then those people were very excited and ran over to confirm the pieces of meat on the ground, and then these people thanked Jiao Wen for a long time.
From their mouths, Jiao Wen also knew the role of these people, not the reserve food he began to think, but cannon fodder, yes, it was the war between this toad and an ape race in a forest not very far away, these people survived a war not long ago, they came from the three nearby village chiefs, don't look at the strength of this toad is not very strong, but it is really troublesome, full of bounce, and a hand of venom, and the most important thing is cowardice.
That's right, it's just a word, it's not that they haven't looked for a demon exterminator before, as long as this toad feels that it can't beat it and it's hard to fight, it will immediately run away and don't know where to go, and wait for the demon exterminator to leave a few days after it comes back to be powerful, so they have to accept its rule, this year, the population of several villages has decreased by almost a third, if Jiao Wen is a month late, these people will have to forcibly relocate, as for how many people can survive when they migrate, it depends on the destiny of heaven.
Jiao Wen had a headache in the face of these people, and it took a long time to make them understand that he was not the nobleman they thought, and he didn't need other villages to join, he was just a demon slayer with some ability, and finally it was good to say that this group of people went down the mountain and went home safely.
Jiao Wen wiped the sweat from his head, dealing with this group of people is more tiring than fighting, mainly because people have always looked at you like a savior, Jiao Wen always felt very embarrassed, a little unbearable, after finishing these chores, he can enjoy his own food again.
Picking up the skinned toad's thigh that was placed on top of the flame, Jiao Wen poked it and found that even if it had been roasted on the fire for so long, the toad's meat was still only freshly cooked, and judging from the touch, it was a good time to eat.
However, the food without seasoning Jiao Wen still doesn't look like a mouthful, he took out some seasoning from his own space, this thing is a small master's characteristic barbecue seasoning, when the seasoning is sprinkled, a rich fragrance is emitted, swinging in the air, and the saliva of the hook is about to fall.
Jiao Wen endured and waited for the seasoning to slowly seep in, and then bit down, his mouth was stuffed with thigh meat, and he chewed it twice, this chew was simple, better than the chewiness of beef tendon, and then there was a faint fragrance when eating, with the delicious all-purpose seasoning of the little master, a thigh that was not much smaller than a person was eaten by Jiao Wen for a while.
However, there is also a price to enjoy the food, the price is that Jiao Wen is lying on the ground, looking at the sky, he can't move, tilting his head, there are so many things, except for some not very delicious places, it is enough for him to eat for several days, and after eating, his whole body is warm, if he cultivates at this time, he will definitely get twice the result with half the effort.
It's a pity that Jiao Wen's current level of simple cultivation has no effect, in other words, as long as he is alive, it is equivalent to cultivating all the time, which is similar to a rumored creature, that is, the dragon race, for these two races, most of the time, as long as he lives long enough, then he will be strong enough.
Under the mountain, in the existence of accepting a few liberations, a joint banquet is now being held, and it is not easy for everyone to be ruled by monsters for so long and finally liberated, although their banquet is still a little shabby, there is not much meat, and most of the food is some miscellaneous rice and wild vegetables and the like.
Among them was a child sitting alone by the fire, his parents had died in the last war, he had no relatives in this village, and he had always wished that he would grow up to be able to slay the enemy, that is, the great toad, but now someone had helped him fulfill this wish.
The child glanced up at the cheering adults, then silently left the fire, identified the direction, and then headed towards the place where Jiao Wen was, the forest at night was particularly noisy, and there were all kinds of small sounds in it, these sounds were too difficult to identify, like the sound of salsa, was it the wind blowing through the leaves, or the snakes and insects crawling through the leaves? Listening to these voices, the child swallowed a mouthful of saliva, plucked up his courage, and began to walk on the path that had been carved out by the others.
Behind him, there was a man who walked silently in his footsteps, the man carried a bow and arrows in his hand, and the path was basically in the middle of the grass, so that it was better to hide his figure.
