The road ahead is boundless...... Vast...... Vast......

Since he decided to leave, Jiang Hua refused to delay any longer. Cleaning up his mood, Jiang Hua walked quickly towards the village. Although I have nothing to clean up, I have to say hello, it doesn't matter to others, Gibb and her mother must go to say goodbye. Thinking of that cute little girl, Jiang Hua couldn't help but upturn the corners of his mouth.

"I'm really reluctant......"

Jiang Hua carefully tidied up the house, looked at the clutter, and was about to go to find Jib, when there was a sudden noise outside. Pushing open the door, I saw that the villagers were all walking towards the entrance of the village, not knowing what was happening. Jiang Hua followed and walked to the entrance of the village to see what was going on. Bypassing a house, Jiang Hua saw that a bunch of people had gathered at the entrance of the village, all talking about something in their ears. Outside the village, as far as the eye could see, a large cloud of smoke and dust was raised. Jiang Hua's eyesight was far beyond before, and when he looked at it, it seemed to be a group of unknown beasts, quickly rushing towards the direction of the village. The speed of the herd was very fast, and in the blink of an eye, the roar had gone from far to near, and Jiang Hua saw clearly that there was a group of animals that were very similar to horses rushing towards the village, but their limbs were much thicker than horses.

Batu stood at the front of the villagers, and saw him turn around, his face gloomy, and whisper something to the people around him, and the young man nodded silently.

"Everyone, be quiet!" said Batuu, and the villagers stopped talking and looked at him.

"The woman and the child went back into the house, and the others ...... Go get your guys!" Batuu's tone was fierce. All the villagers dispersed quickly, without the slightest hesitation. The young man beside Batu just now also quickly came to Jiang Hua's side and grabbed Jiang Hua's arm, "You come with me!" Before Jiang Hua could figure out what was going on, he was pulled away by the young man. With Jiang Hua's current physique, if he wanted to break free from resistance, the young man couldn't pull him. But Jiang Hua didn't have the heart to resist, he was already a relatively easy-going person, besides, he had decided to leave here, he didn't want to cause more trouble, so wait and see what the situation was.

The young man pulled Jiang Hua and did not go back to Jibu's house, but knocked on the door of the old patriarch. The old patriarch was expressionless, and his somewhat cloudy eyes stared at Jiang Hua, as if he wanted to see Jiang Hua through. Jiang Hua was stared at a little hairy, but he never dodged the old patriarch's gaze.

"Hey......" sighed lightly, the old patriarch withdrew his gaze, ignored the two of them, and shuffled towards the entrance of the village. The young man didn't open his mouth to explain, and without the consent of the old patriarch, he pulled Jiang Hua into the house, turned around and closed the door and plugged in the door bolt.

"No matter what you hear, don't make a sound, let alone go out!" Stay honest......" The young man's tone was not finished, but he still sat on the stool, kept silent, and stared at Jiang Hua with an unkind expression. Jiang Hua was a little puzzled, but he didn't ask. After improving his physique, his brain seemed to be much clearer, and Jiang Hua was no longer as stupid as before.

"It seems that the situation is not good, and the herd of beasts coming towards the village ...... It doesn't look like a bloodthirsty beast, huh?" Jiang Hua couldn't think of a reason, so he could only give up. Seeing the bright light shining through the crack in the door, Jiang Hua was curious, leaned over and leaned over his head and looked out with one eye against the crack in the door. The young man didn't stop Jiang Hua, but moved the stool closer to the door.

The roar of the beasts on the ground gradually subsided, and a large cloud of dust at the entrance of the village blocked Jiang Hua's vision. When the dust cleared, the shocking scene made Jiang Hua's heartbeat speed up a little. I saw that outside the gate of the village, dozens of "horses" were scattered in all directions, and there were people sitting on each "horse". These people are all burly, most of them are shirtless, and they only wear animal skin shorts and animal skin boots. The body was covered with ornaments, and the mysterious pattern matched the dark red color, like a beast that chose people to devour, and Jiang Hua was shocked when he saw it. At the back of the procession, there were five "horses" seated on a different person from the others, covered in a black cloak that even covered their faces, and the hem of the cloak was embroidered with a crimson flame-like pattern.

In the gate, the old patriarch standing at the front of the villagers took two steps forward, bent down slightly, and said something to the person on the "horse" in the middle, and Jiang Hua couldn't hear the conversation between the two people clearly. It's a little far away, plus his attention is all on his eyes. The conversation was very brief, and Jiang Hua only vaguely heard words such as "tax", "time", and "woman". Seeing that the old patriarch shook his head and took two steps back, the leader-like man pulled out the scimitar hanging on the side of the "horse" and swung it forward, and the other "horses" slowly gathered around the old patriarch. At this moment, Batu and a group of young villagers quickly stepped forward and protected the old patriarch. Batu held a wooden stick of nearly two meters in one hand, and the end of the wooden stick was tied with sharp metal, much like a spear that Jiang Hua had seen. The other young men also carried a variety of weapons, ranging from bows and arrows for hunting to clubs and axes for chopping wood for fire.

Looking at the villagers holding various weapons in front of him, the leading man looked a little solemn, he glanced behind him, and saw that several black-robed people did not move, so he turned over and dismounted, and walked straight to Batu at the front of the crowd.

"According to the rules of the tribe, if you win against me, you will be exempted from paying taxes for three years. If you can't win the war, you must hand over the people and be exempted from taxes. The leader pointed his scimitar at Batu and said.

The crowd was quiet, the expected scene did not appear, and the leader was a little anxious. "Surrender to you! You have no chance of winning. For the sake of a foreigner, why take the whole village!" People who usually only use force are unexpectedly talking a lot today. The villagers were unmoved, but a black-robed figure shook and was about to dismount, but was stopped by another black-robed man in time.

"What's the hurry, junior brother, let's watch the play first, are you still afraid that people will run away?!"

"Also, with the senior brother here, who can run out of this place. Let's take a look at how these barbarians act. The black-robed man stopped.

At this moment, Batu moved, he took a step forward, raised the spear in his hand, the tip of the spear pointed obliquely to the sky, and said in a deep voice: "Let's start!"

Batu believed the words of the man opposite, and the people of the tribe disdained lies. As for whether he can win or not, Batu is still somewhat confident. "It's not easy to get past today, how will they know ......about it," Batu thought to himself.

"The person who defeated you is called Tado, remember!" The leading man saw that Batu was full of momentum, and he did not slack off, and the scimitar in his hand slashed downward, and the muscles in his body began to bulge. Batu made him feel threatened, and Tado cheered up.

"Bang", the scimitar and the spear collided quickly, and Batu used the tip of the spear to pick at the slashing scimitar, and the tip of the spear slashed an arc in the air, piercing Tado's throat. Tado made a mistake and the tip of his knife slammed the spear away.

Jiang Hua behind the door saw Batu suddenly move with someone, and his legs began to tremble uncontrollably. Jiang Hua didn't like to cause trouble since he was a child, and he was afraid of fighting with others. Whenever he saw someone fighting or was about to be asked for trouble, Jiang Hua's legs would involuntarily tremble violently. He didn't know if it was because he was timid and scared or if he was naturally nervous. But when every inevitable conflict occurs, his legs will no longer tremble, and Jiang Hua at this time seems to be very brave and fearless. I remember that in the first semester of college, the thin rural boy in the dormitory next to Jiang Hua was bullied many times by the fat boy in the city who was on his bunk, and took out a fruit knife more than ten centimeters long and cut the fat boy's face. It was a lunch break when the incident happened, Jiang Hua was woken up by the exclamation in the corridor, and Jiang Hua, who pushed the door out, saw the thin boy holding a knife that was still dripping blood in both hands, his eyes were red, his face was full of anger and panic, and he was followed by several classmates who were at a loss. Jiang Hua did not hesitate, quickly stepped forward and grabbed the thin boy's left wrist tightly with his right hand, and his left hand half grasped the boy's right hand and half grabbed the handle that was not much, and shouted in time: "Let go!" The thin boy looked at Jiang Hua with a somewhat dull gaze, and his clenched hands slowly loosened a little. Jiang Hua snatched the knife and threw it aside, and slapped the boy's head heavily with his right hand. The boy cried loudly and was taken away by the security guards who arrived later, and soon dropped out of school. Since then, Jiang Hua has been respected by his classmates in school, and his three-year college career has ended uneventfully. Whenever he thought of this, Jiang Hua would be a little afraid, and he didn't know where he got the courage at that time. After entering the society, Jiang Hua felt that the only trace of courage he had was also worn away by the cruel reality, and he would avoid things that he couldn't see. Until...... That night, those few cries for help pierced my heart and made my soul tremble......

Batu and Tado at the entrance of the village are still fighting back and forth. Jiang Hua rubbed his hands on his thighs a few times, and took a few deep breaths one after another before he felt that the shaking of his legs was not so violent. Jiang Hua couldn't help but be curious, and peeked out again, seeing that the action of the two fighting was not as exciting as what he saw on TV, but it was very thrilling. The spear and scimitar are dangerously close to the opponent's body every time, and every move is powerful. Jiang Hua looked carefully, he felt that Batu should win, and Tado's steps had begun to look messy.

Sure enough, Tado lost his feet after a change of move, and with a stumble, Batu seized the opportunity to send a spear forward, and stabbed into Tado's right shoulder with a "poof". As the blood mist sprayed, Batu withdrew his hand and withdrew his spear, and Tado was knocked back two steps and fell to the ground.

Tado's face turned red, and there was a hint of relief in his look of shame.

"You've won......" Tado said weakly.

Batu's expression remained unchanged, his gaze scanned for a moment, and then he turned around. Seeing Batu turn around, the strong men on the "horses" were a little commotion, and they drew their scimitars with brushes, and the villagers on the opposite side also raised their weapons. Hearing the movement, Tado reluctantly raised his hand and waved his hand, shouting, "Don't move!" The strong men were very obedient and put their knives back.

Batu didn't look back, he trusted Tado and the rules of the tribe.

Seeing Batu walking towards the villagers, and the group of strangers didn't make any more moves, Jiang Hua's heart was relieved, and his legs no longer trembled. Just as he was about to find a stool to sit down and rest, there was a sudden exclamation outside the door. Jiang Hua hurried to take a closer look, and the scene outside the door frightened Jiang Hua's hairs all over his body exploded, his legs trembled like chaff, and he almost sat on the ground.
