"Bang Bang Bang"

Seeing that no one answered, the shopkeeper hesitated for a while, but continued to knock on the door.

Inside, there was silence when there was the first knock on the door.

Chen Cheng was a little unsure whether the shopkeeper was with him.

The ugly strong man is full of joy, a submissive waste, as long as he speaks, the villagers of Xiaonuo Village will naturally stop the monster that is threatening his life.

"Bang Bang Bang"

Chen Cheng pulled out another horizontal knife from his waist and held his breath, as long as the shopkeeper had any intention of escaping, he would kill him in an instant.

"Come in"

The door slowly opened, and the shopkeeper held the tray, and after glancing at the two of them, he saw that he was staring at the ugly strong man.

The house that didn't open the door for a long time and was silent made him realize that something was wrong inside.

"I'm with you." The shopkeeper's gaze moved to Chen Cheng's face along the horizontal knife.

"Okay, I'll review you and add it, and he'll be yours when it's over." looked at the gloomy eyes that were already covered with bloodshots, and a smile curled up at the corner of his mouth.......

Chen Cheng walked out of the house with a pensive face, and the ugly man's mournful wail came from behind him.

Knowing the past of Nuodao from the mouth of the big man in Changnuo Village is really an old-fashioned story.

Seven years ago, a group of monsters with fish scales all over their bodies took over the place. Trade was cut off, and anyone on the island who went out to sea would be scuttled through the bottom of the ship and drowned in a sea of clouds. Over time, no one dared to go to sea.

All the glutinous rice on the island was expropriated and sold by the monsters to sustain their extravagant life. The islanders rely on coconuts and monsters to give them a small ration on a regular basis.

Among them, Xiao Nuo Village has the smallest share of annual surrender, and he was sent by the monsters to exploit Xiao Nuo Village.

In fact, it is more like exploitation than a reward for the head of Changnuo Village.

The howling from upstairs had stopped at some point, and the bloodied shopkeeper walked out from behind him.

"Can you tell me about Betty?" Chen Cheng glanced at the shopkeeper with a blank face, and asked in a deep voice. This is the main purpose of his visit to Nuodao.

"I can't tell you anything about Betty, I'll take you to the village chief and he'll tell you." The innkeeper's voice was not a joy of revenge, but a last sigh of a dying man.

The two of them changed their outfits, and the shopkeeper rested his emotions and put a flattering smile on his face again, striving to be exactly the same as usual, so as not to let outsiders see a little flaw.

Before leaving, the innkeeper closed the inn. Together, they walked to the east of the village, where the village chief's house was.

Xu was made by providence, and as soon as the two of them walked out of less than a mile, they saw half of the older children hurrying over.

"Brother Fugui, the monster who collects grain is here, and it's on the village chief's side. They also want to find the pimp of the village chief's house in Changnuo Village. ”

When the two of them heard this, they were shocked. Just as Chen Cheng was about to draw the knife, Fugui, the innkeeper, held his hand and said to the child: "Nuo Youwei is doing bad things, I'll go talk to them." ”

The three of them hurried to the entrance of the village, only to see two humanoid monsters, one blue and one red, punching and kicking an old man. They also retain fish features, with fish scales, webbed palms, dorsal fins on their spines, and gills faintly visible on the sides of their throats. The round eyes are the size of a ping-pong ball, and the two valgus bare nostrils are absolutely no problem to scare crying children together.

The "village chief" child exclaimed, and was about to step forward to help, but was pulled by Fugui on the side.

Fugui shook his head slowly, with a flattering smile on his face, and bent down to run to the monster who had come to collect food, shouting.

"Adult, adult, Nuo Youwei is happy in the villain's hotel, and the little ones don't dare to disturb."

Red Scale kicked the village chief again, then turned his head to look at Fugui, and said in a vicious voice: "Let him come out to see me, are you deaf?" With that, he stepped forward and kicked Fugui to the ground.

Blue Scale also stopped kicking at the village chief's feet, and whispered to Red Scale: "We have received the benefits of the village chief of Changnuo Village, and today we are just here to inform them to prepare food, but there is no need to disturb Nuo Youwei." ”

"I know this shopkeeper, it is the innkeeper who lives in Nuo Youwei, who usually looks like he is angry, and the wounds on his face are caused by him."

Red Scales pouted and kicked Fugui, who was already lying on the ground, and turned his head to threaten the village chief: "Three days later, the two of us will come to collect grain, if there is a pound less, we will take your life." ”

With that, the two-person monster walked away.

When they were far away, the boy ran out of the shadows and quickly picked up the bruised village chief.

Fugui also got up from the ground, helped the village chief together, and walked to the house made of mud mixed with wheat straw next to it, which was the village chief's house.

Chen Cheng followed, but his expression was obviously confused at the moment. The characteristics of those monsters are highly overlapping with the Sea Clan, but the Sea Clan should not be so ugly, according to the records in the travelogue, the Sea Clan is beautiful and powerful, and also has the ability to control cloud beasts, how can they look at such a small place?

But I don't know their race yet, so let's call them the Sea Clan.

The origin of the Nuodao crisis has been very clear, and it was caused by these sea tribes.

Follow the three of them into the house, which is all four walls, and there is nothing but a bed and a chair.

"I have medicine here for bruises, so I'll apply it to your village chief first." From the canvas bag, he threw out the palm-sized gourd. Commanding the two of them to give medicine to the village chief, the blood juice has a good effect on relieving the pain, and the coolness itself makes the village chief's spirit better.

"Old decay, thank you Shaoxia." The village chief wanted to force himself to get up, but Chen Cheng reached out and pressed him.

"Village Chief, I'm here to find Betty this time, I'm her captain, can you tell me about her?"

"You two go out first." When the village chief heard Betty's name, his face changed. After sighing deeply, he took the wealth and the child out.

"Betty is indeed a child of our village, but I don't know much about her. I only know that she has been going to sea frequently since six years ago, which has also aroused the suspicion of many people in the village. Only she can come back safely every time she goes to sea, and there are villagers who see that she has something to do with those sea tribes. ”

"I had no choice but to drive her out of the village, so I built her a house by the woods. Since then, she has rarely come to the village. Speaking of Betty, Chen Cheng could see that the corners of the village chief's eyes were moist, and there was a different kind of emotion in his tone.

"Do you know anything about the Sea Clan?" Still, he seized on the loopholes in the village chief's words.

"Before the closure of the island, our merchant ships here were quite frequent, so it is not strange to know the Sea Clan." As he spoke, the village chief looked calm and did not show a trace of panic.

Weird, okay? The Sea Clan is not an East China Sea species, how could you possibly know this kind of news from the mouth of a merchant. Even in the books in my master's collection, there is only one travelogue in the Sea Clan.

Muttering to himself, he didn't dwell too much on this issue, and after asking the specific location of the wooden house, he got up and hurried away.

The briquettes hovered in mid-air, taking in everything on the island.
