Chapter 144: Archmage

"What the hell is wrong with you? Did you encounter something? "Zhang San asked the question before me.

The fat man's brows furrowed.

It seems that he has indeed encountered a lot of trouble.

After coughing lightly, Zhang San continued to ask.

"Did the people from the village attack you?"

The fat man took a deep breath.

"No, not from the village!"

Not from the village?

From the fat man's words, I captured some key messages.

Something did strike them.

But it was not the people of the village who attacked them.

What would that be?

The situation seems to be a little different than we thought.

I was wary.

Look at the fat man again.

"Fatty, what the hell is going on, you make it clear!"

Pursing his lips, the fat man's expression suddenly became complicated.

"It's in the forest, this afternoon, there was a sudden sound of ghosts crying and wolves howling in the forest, and then the village chief told us to hurry back to the room and hide."

"When we hid in, we heard the sound of the door slamming, so we opened it and looked at it!"

I hurriedly asked.

"What do you see?"

The fat man's brows tightened, and he took two steps to the side, giving way of a position.

At the same time, I saw something behind him.

It was about half a meter long, and it was cat-like, but it was even more hideous than a cat.

The grinning mouth is covered with fangs like steel needles.

Not only that, but the skin of that thing also took on a weird look.

It looks like it's highly rotten.

What the hell is this?

Just when I was wondering, the fat man pointed to the thing and said.

"Burst into the house and started attacking us, and Li Si and I worked together to kill it."

"And then you'll come back."

In that case, these things must have retreated shortly before we entered the village.

Why are there so many people in the village?

Could it be that they are also defending against these things?

But why didn't I see any signs of injury?

The more I think about it, the more questions I have.

The more you think about it, the more unreliable the answer becomes.

Just then, there was a knock on the door from behind.

We hurriedly turned our faces away.

"Are you resting?"

The old man's voice came from outside the door.

Zhang San and I looked at each other, and then I walked over and opened the door.

"Is there anything you can do?"

Today the old man is with the child again.

The old man glanced into the room.

Then point underground.

"I saw bloodstains, you should have brought them back, you weren't hurt, right?"

Bloodstain?

I also looked underground.

"It should be blood stains from inside the body bag!" I whispered.

Body bags?

The old man's brow furrowed.

"What body bag?"

I told the old man a rough story of what had happened in the woods.

But the old man's expression became solemn.

"Headhunter Zhao, really, is there really only this pile of corpses left?"

Hearing the old man's question, I feel that the old man should know the headhunter Zhao.

"Yes, there's only a pile left inside the body bag."

"If you know him, maybe he can be buried around this village."

As long as the headhunter Zhao is buried, then my task of driving out the corpse this time will be over.

The village chief nodded hurriedly.

"Know, how can you not know!"

"Come with me, bring the headhunter Zhao!"

After speaking, the village chief turned around and left.

Watching him walk away, Zhang San and I glanced at each other again.

"What now?" Zhang San looked at me and asked.

What to do?

In this case, you can only know what to do if you go to see it.

After taking a deep breath, I whispered.

"Let's go and see the situation first, and understand the specific situation on a case-by-case basis."

Following the village chief, we soon arrived at his wooden house.

As soon as we entered the house, we found that it was quite lively today.

There were already quite a few villagers sitting in the house.

Everyone sat around a fire.

But the fire was beating strangely.

There was no wind in the room, but the flames flickered constantly.

Without thinking much about it, I walked behind the village chief.

Zhang San put the body bag on the ground.

"You don't have to put it over there, you can bring the headhunter Zhao over!" The village chief said suddenly.

Zhang San hurriedly picked up the body bag again, and then walked to everyone and put it down.

After the body bag was lowered, the village chief walked over and unzipped it.

"It's indeed a headhunter Zhao, I didn't expect it to be so miserable!" The village chief sighed.

His words made me even more confused.

It stands to reason that they know headhunter Zhao.

Why are they not the slightest bit uncomfortable about the death of the headhunter Zhao.

Even from their eyes, I can feel that the death of the headhunter Zhao seems to be taken for granted in their eyes.

What is the situation that can make a person's death a matter of course in the eyes of these people?

After a moment's thought, I looked at the village chief.

"Headhunter Zhao said that someone gave him money to go hunting in the woods."

"Do you know who it is?"

The village chief nodded slightly.

"We gave him the money!"

Is it the money given by these villagers?

Now I can't understand it even more.

Is there really something in the woods?

Just when I was stunned, the village chief suddenly looked at me and asked.

"Did you see anything in the woods?"

If you want to say what you have seen, you have indeed seen it.

But I only think of it as a mountain spirit and a wild monster, could it be that the things in the forest have affected this village?

"Yes, can you tell me what the situation is?" I looked at the village chief and asked.

The village chief's expression immediately became embarrassed again.

"Things in the woods are very complicated!"

"As an outsider, I advise you not to go in if you don't have to."

He said this a little too late.

We've crossed the forest once.

Once during the day, the other at night.

Although there was no danger on both occasions, I already knew whether the forest was safe or not.

I now seem to understand one more thing, that is, whether this village chief has anything else to hide from us.

"You could tell me what the hell is in the woods."

"That way, we know what to do."

At this moment, the fat man stood up.

"Don't worry, my brother Li is a corpse chaser, and he knows this kind of thing."

As soon as he heard that I was a corpse chaser, the village chief's eyes lit up.

"Your Excellency is really a mage?"

Before I could speak, the fat man patted his chest again.

"Not only a mage, but also an archmage."

Come on, this kid said everything, and said it in an exaggerated direction.

I'm being picked up and can't jump.

When the village chief learned the fat man's information, he immediately looked at me urgently.

"If you're really an archmage, please help us!"

As he spoke, the village chief wanted to kneel down with me.

I quickly stopped him.

"What the hell is going on?"
