Chapter 176: Goodbye Benefactor
A metamorphosis made Lin Xi feel that his body was better than before, and his body seemed to be filled with endless energy.
Stepping on the thick leaves, Linsey strode towards the road he had come, and soon reached the open area where he had been seriously injured,
Unburned wood was scattered everywhere on the huge fire, and there was a footprint twice as large as ordinary people in the middle, which was particularly conspicuous, and the nearly ten corpses killed by Lin Xi were already full of vultures, pecking at carrion, among them, several of them had even been decomposed by vultures, revealing the skeleton of Sen Sen,
Lynsey only glanced at the corpse, and his eyes fell on the footprint, which was very new, and around it, after Lynsey swept away the leaves that covered it, more footprints were found,
The messy footprints showed that there were many people passing by here, and they walked by casually and there was no order, and Lin Xi instantly decided that the orcs had appeared here not long ago,
At this time, Lin Xi felt that he couldn't find his way back to the western camp, and asked him to let the orcs who had just left leave, he couldn't do it, it didn't matter where the orcs went, the important thing was that every place the orcs went, the people there would suffer a catastrophe,
Lin Xi decided to follow these huge footprints all the way, catch up with these murderous orcs, and prevent them from harming innocent people again.
The sunlight in the dense forest is not very strong, and there was another rain a few days ago, and the soil has been relatively moist, so until this time, the footprints left by the orcs were actually very complete and clear, except for being covered by some falling leaves.
Lin Xi didn't know where he would go if he followed the footprints, but he only hoped to catch up before the orcs could carry out violent actions, and do his best to prevent the tragedy from happening, so in addition to the necessary food and drink along the way, he even had a greatly reduced time to sleep, but the orcs were tall, with a wide range of footsteps, and the speed of movement was two or three times faster than that of ordinary people, plus he had to stop from time to time to identify the traces left by this orc team from the messy footprints, so there was still no trace of the orcs in front of him after walking for more than a day,
Lin Xi confirmed that he had not made a mistake in tracking, and the only possibility was that the orcs were also rushing ahead, and he needed time to shorten the distance between them.
On the second night, by the bright moonlight, Lynsey slept for three hours and then continued on his way, so much time had passed, and the distance traveled by the orcs was already very long, and if he wanted to attack a village, such a long distance was enough, so he had to hurry up with all the time,
At dawn, Lin Xi suddenly found that there were more corpses of pheasants and wild sheep and other animals along the way, and the meat had been eaten by the orcs, but judging from the discarded fur and bones, it was clear that the orcs had only left for a short time.
His heart suddenly felt a lot better, Lin Xi was full of energy, and he didn't care about his sore and swollen legs, and still went all out in the dense forest.
About twenty minutes, after turning around along the dense forest, a puff of cooking smoke suddenly appeared in front of Lin Xi's vision,
There is a village less than a kilometer away, and there is no doubt that the orcs have found a populated place after more than two days of searching.
At this moment, Lin Xi remembered the scene when he set off with a team of 100 people from the Western Army camp to protect the villagers thousands of miles away, remembered the soldiers who made great contributions to the victory of the battle but could never come back, and remembered the tragic heroic posture of the nine people before they died in battle.
These hateful orcs can no longer be allowed to endanger the people,
Lin Xi began to gallop, and rushed to the entrance of the village as fast as he could, just in time to encounter a group of orcs of about fifty people who brutally smashed the fence that blocked the entrance to protect the village, and the orcs had already begun to drive straight in, and not far away was a low bungalow with smoke coming out,
The huge roar of the orcs and the loud sound of the fence being smashed alarmed the villagers in the village, and everyone came out to find out, but when they found dozens of orcs in front of them who were as black as a hill and whose eyes were fierce, everyone screamed in shock, hurried back to the room, called their families and began to run for their lives.
Suddenly, the quiet and peaceful small village was in chaos, the villagers were in extreme panic, and the cries of some children were even more sour in Linxi's heart.
But the orcs who strode towards the village laughed ferociously, and the villagers' expressions of fear and despair only aroused their beast surnames.
If he didn't arrive on time, Lin Xi could imagine that it would not be long before this place would be a river of blood and turn into a Shura hell.
But since he came, he would not let this tragedy happen,
A few leaps quickly overtook the orcs, and Lin Xi landed steadily on the ground, facing the fierce beast crowd,
The appearance of Linxi made the orcs obviously stagnant, and the powerful aura exuded by Linxi's body made these orcs very uneasy, and the orcs were also very sensitive, especially to blood, they could smell a smell of blood from Linxi, there was no doubt that this little human in front of him had killed his companions,
And Lin Xi turned his back, but left a not very tall but extremely firm back to the villagers, the villagers who were panicking and tired of fleeing happened to see this scene, one of the old men stopped regardless of the danger, and said loudly to Lin Xi: "Young man, go quickly, you can't deal with this group of demons alone, go up the mountain, go up the mountain and hide." ”
The old man cried out anxiously, and still did not forget to remind Linsey in the critical moment,
The answer to the old man was a terrifying blade,
The fighting spirit was raging, the blood light collapsed, the orcs were cut off one after another, their heads were cut off at the waist, and their hearts were pierced, and in a miserable howl, the frightened villagers behind had unconsciously stopped, and were shocked by the incredible scene in front of them,
There are people who deal with these demons alone, and kill these demons and ghosts crying wolves and retreating one after another.
Lin Xi crisscrossed the crowd of fifty orcs, and each blade had to harvest the lives of two or three orcs, who had no fear to find this place to grab food, but unexpectedly ran into a man who sent them to the land of death.
The giant sword in Lin Xi's hand opened and closed, and in a moment, he saw blood rain flying, human heads rolling, and in less than five minutes, all fifty orcs were destroyed.
Although Linxi was covered in blood, he was not hurt at all, and he pulled the greatsword out of the chest of the last orc, and Linsey crossed this miserable river of blood, and went straight to the villagers.
Led by the old man, all the villagers returned, their eyes full of sincere gratitude,
"The sky has eyes, you are the living immortal sent by heaven to save us from the dire situation. The old man burst into tears, grabbed Lin Xi's hand and said,
"Thank you, life-saver. ”
Subsequently, the villagers of nearly 100 people all knelt on the ground and thanked Linxi, the simple and unpretentious villagers could not say any moving words to express their most sincere gratitude to Linxi, kneeling down and thanking was the most sincere way to express gratitude in their hearts,
Lin Xi hurriedly helped the old man led by him, and only after everyone stood up did he wave his hand again and again, saying that this was nothing, as a soldier, this was what he should do.
"The benefactor is a soldier. The old man graciously pulled Lindsey into the room, and asked,
Lin Xi nodded and began to talk to the villagers,
The old man is the head of this village, and from his description, Lin Xi knows that this place is called Shangang Village, which belongs to the jurisdiction of a city called Shiliu City, which is still near the western territory of the empire, and is a hundred miles away from the western military camp, but this distance is nothing to Lin Xi, he is ready to leave immediately, and he will return to the barracks,
But the kind villagers said that they would let Lin Xi have lunch here before leaving, and he couldn't help everyone's fists, so Lin Xi had to stay.
At this time, the old man said to a strong man next to him: "Dog, hurry up and call the people in the village as well, if it weren't for Lin Xi's help today, our two villages would have been destroyed by the orcs." ”
After speaking, the old man explained to Lin Xi: "This place is remote, it is the farthest place under the jurisdiction of Shiliu City, the population is very small, the villagers of both villages have lived here for generations, although the situation is not good, but no one wants to leave to be a refugee who has left their homeland. The old man sighed, obviously still deeply troubled,
Lin Xi comforted a few words and was about to ask clearly, when suddenly there was a voice from above the village, and when he heard the dog say that someone had saved the whole village, the kind villagers immediately came out and wanted to thank him in person.
Lin Xi and the old man came out of the room and stood in front of the ping,
There was a large number of people walking down the mountain, about eighty,
At this moment, a trembling voice sounded in the crowd,
"Benefactor, if you are really a benefactor, I never thought that I would see my benefactor again one day, girl, come up and see who this is. ”
Out of the crowd came an old man with a wooden cane, smiling happily with a shriveled face, but tears flowed from excitement in his eyes.
"Big brother. A little girl about seven years old blushed and ran towards Lin Xi with a smile on her face, and screamed sweetly,
Lin Xi quickly recognized it, this old grandfather and little girl were the poor grandfather and grandson they met on the street outside Chulin College, at the beginning, they begged for a living, but they didn't want to run into a big trouble, Bright didn't walk long eyes, bought a jade bracelet and kept staring, rushed to the middle of the road to knock down the old man The bracelet was also broken, but shamelessly put the responsibility on the old man, not only slandered but also demanded compensation, and even prepared to torture the old man alive with a "burst leg",
Unable to get used to it, he angrily saved people, and then the two followed Teacher Zger away, not wanting to meet here again today.
