Chapter 467: The Magician's Promise
No one objected to the village chief's words, and everyone hardly knew what to do next, except for mourning for the dead.
Lu Tianyu understood that tonight was destined to be a sleepless night, no one left the villagers, and everyone chose to gather in a circle to comfort each other's sorrows. The children are also very quiet and quiet.
The village chief specially called Lu Tianyu to a small house nearby and apologized for the villagers' reaction.
"Please forgive the villagers for being rude, they are all too frightened, and it is not long before they settle down, and they have to face this situation that they may not see the sun tomorrow at any time, they can't accept it for a while, so they use you as an outlet to vent their resentment. β
"It's my lack of ability that caused this situation, if I were a little stronger......"
"No," the village chief interrupted him, "you really don't have to blame yourself, and you don't have to feel guilty, it's not anyone's fault that this kind of thing happened tonight. If anyone has to be held accountable, it is that the way of the world is wrong, and human beings are also to blame for coming to this day. Now that we are all enlightened, it is not surprising that anything has happened. β
The village chief's words revealed a kind of helplessness, a kind of resignation after hard work.
"I'm going to get you all to your destination safely. This is a solemn promise made by Lu Tianyu at the end of the conversation.
The village chief didn't say anything about his promise, but just nodded.
When Lu Tianyu and the villagers came out, the villagers had already lit a huge bonfire, which was to prevent them from being attacked by wild beasts again.
What made Lu Tianyu feel relieved was that the children in the village began to surround Gu Xiaowen and begged her to perform the "transformation" technique, completely without the fear of the mutant before.
When Lu Tianyu pursued outside the town, it was Gu Xiaowen who resisted the attacks of several mutant monsters, and several children saw her heroic posture in battle, and they had already defeated her as a hero of the monster.
"Don't make a fuss about it, sister, I can't transform at will, I'll hurt you by mistake. β
"Big sister, you're going to change it for us. A little girl took her hand and shook it from side to side, refusing to give up.
Another boy saw Lu Tianyu coming, and suddenly pointed at him and said, "The magician is here!
Lu Tianyu felt taken aback, how did this kid know that he was a magician?
Children don't have the complicated thoughts of adults, their naΓ―ve thoughts just care about Lu Tianyu's identity as a magician, and nothing else.
"Do you know how to use magic?"
"What does magic look like?"
"Big brother, can you use magic to beat away monsters?"
"Big brother, call out the magic quickly, let's see!"
Even in this uncertain and dangerous world, children remain innocent. Lu Tianyu looked at them, and the sense of grievance in his heart was much less.
In order to satisfy the children's curiosity, Lu Tianyu launched the Spiral Light Pill, the Spiral Pill in his hand emitted a dazzling light, and the sound of the magic power spinning at high speed sounded particularly thrilling at night.
In the face of Lu Tianyu's magic, the children cheered. The children's cheers also alarmed their families.
What happened next hit Lu Tianyu deeply, and the parents of the children came and took their children away.
"When is it, you only know how to play, the monster is coming, what else can you do, wait for death!" The parents reprimanded and slapped the child's head with their hands.
These words were obviously insinuating, and Lu Tianyu felt like countless invisible needles stabbing his heart, and he was very depressed.
"Don't care. Gu Xiaowen comforted, "These villagers have always been under the protection of the dragon god, and now that this kind of thing is happening, it is difficult for them to accept it for a while." β
"I know. Lu Tianyu then chose to remain silent and stood guard outside the town until dawn.
Gu Xiaowen was also on the other side of the town, silently guarding everyone.
At the dawn of the morning in the east, the villagers hastily buried their dead relatives on the spot with tears in their eyes and continued their journey.
In one night, eight people were killed, and the grief lasted for two days. For two days, the group relied on hunting lone mutant animals in the wild as rations, and Lu Tianyu still did not show any value in this, and he, a magician, became a complete ornament.
When chasing beasts, he could only watch, not daring to abuse magic. He knew that there was a limit to the magic he could use, so he kept it to protect the villagers as much as he could in case of real danger.
Unfortunately, the villagers will not understand his good intentions. He also did not dare to disclose the truth about the limited use of his magic power. As a result, he became a very superfluous person in the eyes of the villagers. Although the villagers did not openly express their dissatisfaction with him because of the village chief, there were still many discussions in private.
Lu Tianyu overheard everyone's discussions several times, and felt both embarrassed and sad. And at this time, he was still thinking about the flower chain in his heart, and even thought of Sui Zilu and others in the Giant Country. I missed the time to go back, how is that world now.
Two more days passed. Unlike Lu Tianyu, Gu Xiaowen has been completely familiar with the villagers in the past few days and is completely trusted. In the past few days, Gu Xiaowen's easy defeat of several mutant beasts has won her the favor of the villagers and regards her as the guardian saint of her companionship. Because of her appearance, she can be called a beauty in the eyes of the villagers, and her hot body has captured the hearts of several young men.
Gu Xiaowen understands Lu Tianyu's suffering, and along the way, she has been with him all the way, which makes Lu Tianyu have to bear those jealous and even hostile eyes.
Ahead is an abandoned city, full of buildings that don't seem to have been damaged. However, Lu Tianyu felt a strange aura from afar, which made him deeply uneasy.
Gu Xiaowen said excitedly: "If I remember correctly, after passing through this city, we will not be far from our destination, if nothing else, at this speed, we will be there in about four days." β
Gu Xiaowen's words made the village chief and others who were traveling with them hear it, and they were all in good spirits. However, Lu Tianyu was not excited about this and always maintained a high degree of vigilance.
Gu Xiaowen noticed Lu Tianyu's strange appearance and asked in a low voice, "Why do you look nervous?"
"I felt something wasn't quite right with the city. β
"What's wrong?"
"I can't tell, it's my gut feeling. β
"You're not going to be affected by what happened in that town, are you?"
"I don't know. β
"You must be too nervous. β
"I hope so. β
Although the village chief also told the villagers to be vigilant, in the past two days, almost all of them have been eating and sleeping in the open air, and now they are entering the city, and everyone is extremely excited.
However, the deeper he went into the city, the more uneasy Lu Tianyu's heart became, and it simply lingered.
As the villagers strode across an intersection with excitement and talking, a mutant black bear with a swarthy body, five meters tall and standing upright on two legs, appeared there, which was originally biting a feline.
The excitement of the people gradually subsided, and they stopped in panic, for fear that Jingdong would kill the big black bear. However, it was too late, and the big black bear looked at everyone. For it, it's a bunch of walking treats that are automatically delivered to your door.
The big black bear let out a roar, dropped the food in his hand, and pounced on the crowd
"Everyone disperse!" Lu Tianyu shouted, and at the same time activated his magic and released the Spiral Pill at the black bear.
I thought I could hit the blow, but I was dodged by the black bear! The black bear's movements, the moment of instant acceleration, Lu Tianyu almost doubted his eyes.
Gu Xiaowen was also shocked by the black bear's movements, and the monsters she encountered on the road had not yet encountered a Spiral Pill that could avoid Lu Tianyu, but this huge black bear was far more agile than humans. Only in this moment, as a mutant, she realized that this was a real monster.
"Is this what makes you feel uneasy?" Gu Xiaowen said.
Lu Tianyu missed the blow, and the second round of attacks changed his strategy, throwing a magic bullet with his left hand, and then predicting the direction of the black bear's dodge with his right hand, and throwing a spinning pill.
Lu Tianyu's serial attacks can be described as smooth and smooth, but the black bear leaped up, not only dodging the magic attack, skipping Lu Tianyu and Gu Xiaowen, but also directly attacking the other villagers who fled in all directions.
Oh no! Only this thought flashed through Lu Tianyu's mind.
In a panic, many villagers were instantly knocked away by the black bear, becoming the soul under its claws.
When Lu Tianyu and Gu Xiaowen turned around, they saw the villagers fleeing in all directions. Usually, when encountering monsters, the villagers can organize a hunt, but at this moment, in the face of the black bear, the villagers who tried to attack it were all shot away in an instant and fell into pulp.
"You are not its opponent, run away!" Lu Tianyu shouted as he rushed towards the black bear.
Gu Xiaowen's skin also turned brown, trying to attack the black bear with poison.
The two of them only felt a flash of darkness, and then they were also shot away like other villagers. The whole person hit the wall, and the huge impact force pierced through the wall.
Lu Tianyu only felt that the bones in his body seemed to be shattered, and he barely stood up, and found that Gu Xiaowen nearby was still lying motionless two meters away.
"Gu Xiaowen!" he didn't care about the pain, and ran over in three steps and two steps.
Gu Xiaowen coughed after a few seconds, and a trace of bright red blood overflowed from the corner of her mouth.
"How are you?" Lu Tianyu tried to pick her up.
"Ahem...... I'm fine, ...... Go and save them!"
A bear's roar was heard just in time, mixed with screams for help and screams of terror.
"Don't die. Lu Tianyu could only leave Gu Xiaowen behind, gritted his teeth and rushed out.
At this time, he was a little nostalgic for the time when he lost his pain.
Out of the house, what he saw in front of him made Lu Tianyu angry. He had promised the village chief that he would protect everyone, but now the black bear was slaughtering the villagers who were powerless to fight back.
Promises turned into empty promises.
Lu Tianyu only felt his blood and qi rolling, and rushed towards the black bear again with a loud shout.
The black bear sensed the threat, roared angrily, and attacked Lu Tianyu almost at the same time.
