[Infrastructure + Fourth Natural Disaster]
There is an old saying in Dongshan Village: Don't go out at night!
As night falls, gray mist envelops the land.
Demons run rampant, ...
The tiger roared in the mountains and forests, resounding through the sky. All the birds around were startled and they flapped their wings and flew into the sky.
Creatures with weaker willpower will inevitably feel dazed after being hit directly by the tiger's roar sound waves.
Lin Xiang was different. He used a jack-like method to drop his body to the ground, not only avoiding the tiger's pounce, but also making the sword energy of the Golden Spirit Sword Ball longer, passing directly under the tiger's belly!
The sword ball, which was a mid-grade magical weapon, directly ripped open the tiger's belly, and blood flowed all over the ground.
The tiger's original pouncing posture was weakened, and it fell heavily on the ground covered with dead leaves. It turned its head, looked at Lin Xiang angrily, and then opened its mouth and spit out a wind blade!
Even if I die, I want to die together with this human.
Clouds come from dragons and winds come from tigers. After becoming a monster, the tiger has awakened some of its monster powers. It is obviously a monster tiger with wind attributes.
I had thought I could get rid of this human with melee combat and minions, but due to my carelessness, I didn't have the chance to cast other spells.
Lin Xiang had long been on guard against its final attack, such as spitting out a demon pill, and easily avoided the wind blade.
This wind blade was extremely fast. After being dodged, it hit the big tree behind and actually cut the trunk directly!
There is no use in counterattacking before death.
Due to excessive blood loss, the demon tiger's eyes gradually dimmed and eventually turned into experience points that were transmitted to Lin Xiang's body.
[Kill the lv.13 Dark Wind Tiger and gain 1200 experience points! ]
The experience points gained from killing monsters above your level are indeed quite generous, but this time Lin Xiang was unable to level up.
The higher the level, the slower the upgrade speed.
This monster has the most diverse abilities that Lin Xiang has ever seen. It can summon minions and cast basic wind-attribute spells.
It's a pity that it hit my hand. If it had been smarter and stayed away from it, it wouldn't have died.
After a tiger eats a person, it will turn the person into its minions. These minions no longer have any concept of human beings. Instead, they will deceive other humans and lure them into the tiger's mouth to be eaten.
Lin Xiang didn't count carefully just now, but there were at least fifteen minions.
Many of them should be hunters who came into the mountains from the surrounding villages.
This forest has never been a kind place.
It is normal for humans to eat wild animals and wild animals to eat humans.
It’s just that Lin Xiang, as a human being before, had a different perspective, which is why he hated man-eating tigers and mandrills so much.
The smell of blood spread in the forest. Lin Xiang knew that this place would soon be occupied by other carnivores. He stepped forward and put the corpse of the Dark Wind Tiger into the game package, then traced the tiger's scent back bit by bit.
He had seen similar behaviors in many movies, TV shows, and novels before, so maybe he would have an adventure in Tiger Xue.
However, Lin Xiang's tracking skills were a little weak, and he had difficulty continuing after reaching a hill.
But his goal has been achieved. He is searching for elixirs everywhere anyway.
…
"Are you sure we want to go in?" Bingxuepiaopiao looked at the dark and deep forest, feeling a little uneasy.
This forest stretches for who knows how far, so lush and green that there is no end in sight.
The five of us standing in front of the forest seemed like a drop in the ocean.
Master Tai Er was actually a little scared. In the usual games, he wouldn't even blink an eye, let alone enter a forest, even if he had to walk on a mountain of swords or dive into a sea of fire.
If the game is too realistic, concerns in daily life will gradually surface, thus affecting their decision-making in the game.
Yu Xiaoqi clenched her machete tightly and encouraged the others, saying, "Even though it looks real, we're players. We can be resurrected even if we die. I'll lead the way, and you guys stay behind to be careful and alert."
The forest is so lush and green that it doesn't look like a park at all and there are no dedicated roads.
Low shrubs, branches, vines, weeds and dead leaves all made their progress relatively slow.
This machete is actually not used to fight wild animals, but is a tool used by villagers to cut down trees and open roads in woods and forests.
Due to the gray fog every night, hunters rarely go up the mountain to hunt, the number of people gathering herbs has also decreased, and even the number of poor families who rely on cutting firewood and selling charcoal has decreased a lot, so the forest area is getting larger and larger.
Since they had decided to go into the forest to look for elixirs, they stopped hesitating and quickly walked into the forest.
None of us are professional herbalists, we just go in based on our feelings.
If there are a lot of people, ordinary wild beasts would not dare to attack directly.
"I must learn some light skills or how to fly when I go back. Hiking in the forest is too tiring!" Xie Longtao muttered.
Since this is a world with gods and cultivators, we should make full use of it.
Bingxue Piaopiao gritted her teeth and insisted on following. She asked, "If a spiritual farm is cultivated, I wonder if we players can contract it."
She finally understood that even when playing games, she couldn't just follow the trend blindly. What mattered was what she liked.
Just like now, even though I am afraid to enter the dark forest, I have to follow the others because I am afraid that I will not fit in.
Han Mu noticed the player's frustration and offered words of comfort, "Our most important thing right now is to level up. Spiritual fields and other things can be obtained outside or inside your own cave after you join the sect. If that doesn't work out, there will surely be similar careers in the sect, and you can develop in that direction then."
"Sister Bingxue, that's absolutely true. Contracting a piece of land in the Novice Village has no future. When the time comes, we'll go and learn from a master. Do we have to fly back to the Novice Village every day?"
These players regarded Dongshan Village as a stepping stone and never thought of staying here for a long time.
After all, in the world of cultivation, this small mountain village has nothing.
Their most urgent desire is to join a big sect.
It can be seen that Dongshan Village still has a long way to go.
Xie Longtao jokingly said: "If you think Dongshan Village is not good, then go and build it."
Master Tai Er spread his hands, feeling extremely helpless. "Without anything, how can we build? Are we going to rely on that sacrificial spirit?"
"It is said that every village and every county town has a spirit offering ceremony. The spirit offering ceremony in Dongshan Village is not special. They don't even have a spiritual field here, and they need our help to build one. It is not suitable for cultivators to develop at all."
Everyone's comments seemed very rational, because this was the current situation of Dongshan Village and even many novice villages.
There is a huge gap between the mortal world and the world of cultivation, and it cannot be bridged in a day or two.
Since the conversation turned to offering sacrifices to the spirits, they opened up.
"Have you ever wondered about the identity of our village's sacrificial spirit?" Master Tai Er pondered. "He looks very handsome, like a refined scholar. But how can a land god be a scholar? And he also knows the Pure Yang Technique, which feels like a technique from some sect."
Xie Longtao excitedly joined the discussion: "Actually, I also think this sacrificial spirit is mysterious. Yesterday, I quietly asked around in the village. Some people said the sacrificial spirit came here decades ago, while others said the land god statue has always been there, but it wasn't a sacrificial spirit back then."
"I have a small guess, I don't know if it's correct, but this land god isn't actually a deity, but a powerful being possessing the land god statue. Maybe he has a lot of goodies in his hands, or he wants to do something big?"
"Yes, I think it's not easy for this sacrificial spirit to pretend to be the land god. Ordinary cultivators don't seem to need the energy of the five virtues. He must be trying to usurp the throne!"
Zhenren Tai Er made a neck-cutting gesture, and his meaning was expressed very clearly.
A player who doesn’t want to kill the BOSS is not a good player!
Before the others could reply, Yu Xiaoqi, who was leading the way, said in agreement, "I think it's a good idea. Once we're stronger and able to leave Dongshan Village, we can try to defeat this boss. There's a good chance we'll get some goodies."
Han Mu pondered for a moment, "We need to see his strength before we take action. Don't forget that our spawn point is in the Earth Temple. Even after logging off, our characters are still in the temple."
"Are we really going to fight?" Bingxue Piaopiao watched her companions chatting animatedly and couldn't help but pour cold water on them, saying, "I'm afraid we can't even defeat the earthworms he subdued."
At this point, everyone fell silent.
That’s absolutely right!
The other team had the home-field advantage and had helpers, so it was incredibly difficult to defeat them. But if I didn't try, I'd feel itchy and anxious, feeling like I'd missed a great opportunity.
In various online games, there are countless NPCs killed by players, and Lin Xiang seems to be no exception.
Han Mu replied, "I used the identification spell on the sacrificial spirit this morning. His level is only lv.8, not much higher than ours. The main reason is that we don't understand his methods, and we also have to be prepared for the possibility of a decrease in his favorability."
After Xie Longtao proposed this idea, he felt something was wrong. Why did he and his companions attack the NPCs in the village? Wouldn't it be better to deal with the monster boss outside the village?
"Um, I have another question." Bingxuepiaopiao stopped.
"If we kill the sacrificial spirit, then Dongshan Village will be left without a sacrificial spirit. How will they survive these nights then?"
Faced with this question, the other four remained silent.
"Don't think too much, they are just NPCs."
Players themselves will not follow the established routines, otherwise it would not be called the Fourth Calamity. There will always be unexpected actions.
When the deafening tiger roar came from afar, the five people still had not reached a unified conclusion. They just gripped their weapons and prepared for battle.
…
Lin Xiang never imagined that the five players he recruited would target him.
If this tiger didn't eat people, he would have liked to tame it and use it as a mount.
A monster-level tiger sells for many times more than an earthworm!
The Shiwan Mountains are vast. He has been walking for so long but has only been wandering around the periphery. He has not yet entered the real mountains.
But at this time, the mountains and forests were already full of spiritual energy, almost the same as Dongshan Village, which had the Cave Heaven Seed.
This place is sparsely populated and wild animals have disappeared, only various monsters remain.
Lin Xiang controlled his body to wander in the mountains and forests, searching for possible elixirs.
Just as he was using his spiritual sense to search, a sound of fighting came from the sky.
The gray-robed man with the flying sword under his feet flew towards the protruding mountain, while looking back to release various spells, trying to stop the pursuer behind him who was holding a protective shield.
Fire-attribute spells appeared one after another, and rockets, firebirds, and fireballs flew towards the rear, followed by crackling sounds.
The pursuer behind was covered in golden light, and this golden protective shield blocked the fire spells.
"Fellow Daoist, why are you chasing me so relentlessly? I believe I have not offended any forces." The man in the gray Taoist robe in front tried to escape by riding a flying sword, but he was getting closer and closer.
The golden light of the man behind him dissipated, and a burst of black smoke suddenly emerged from the huge gourd under his seat, and suddenly swept towards the front.
"Don't think I didn't see it. You sold over twenty spiritual herbs at Duobao Pavilion today. I'm sure you made a lot of spirit stones. For a casual cultivator like you to have so many spiritual herbs, you must have had some great adventures. Let me capture you and search your soul to see what secrets you have!"
The black smoke was not real smoke, but a group of poisonous insects gathered together and made a hissing sound.
Lin Xiang quickly gathered his mind. He didn't need to breathe, and now he made his body illusory. No one could detect his existence except top cultivators and immortals.
"Sure enough, the guy in front accidentally revealed his identity and ended up being targeted."
At this moment, Lin Xiang deeply understood the principle of not showing off one's wealth.
There are many people with crooked minds in the world. They always want to take shortcuts. Even among famous and upright people, there are those with evil intentions.
The best way is to keep a low profile!
Lin Xiang looked up at the two people fighting in the sky and was really dazzled.
The gray-robed man using the flying sword was obviously not a sword cultivator. He just used the sword as a flying magic weapon, and he was proficient in the use of fire magic.
Normally, fire spells are very effective against poisonous insects and can burn them to death.
However, these black poisonous insects that came out of the gourd are not afraid of fire at all and fly very fast.
In addition to the poisonous insect, the pursuer behind also took out a talisman to activate it.
A bolt of lightning appeared out of nowhere and struck the man in front.
Who doesn't have some secret life-saving tricks when dealing with the outside world? The man being pursued hardened his heart, jumped off the flying sword, and then sent the flying sword to the insect operator.
With a dull thud, this precious low-grade magical weapon suddenly exploded.
For casual cultivators, magical weapons are quite precious, and they would never do such a thing unless it is absolutely necessary.
The flying sword exploded quite suddenly, like a blooming firework in the air.
The Gu Master's hasty defense was ineffective, and he had to use the gourd mount to block himself.
Lin Xiang didn't know what level these two people were at, but their methods were much stronger than his.
There were spells, magical instruments, talismans, and poisonous insects, back and forth.
The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind it. Lin Xiang didn't know if there was a snake behind him, or if there was a cat waiting behind the snake.
But he was willing to take the risk and see how the battle between these two Qi Refining cultivators would turn out.
In addition to Lin Xiang, players in the outer areas also heard the noise.
However, the distance was too far and there was no way to rush in. I don’t know what happened.
Lin Xiang didn't dare to get too close for fear of being affected, but he also didn't want to be targeted by the two at the same time.
After the noise died down, he used the incense points to use the earth escape technique and quietly approached the core area of the battle underground.
The Earth God's earth-escaping technique is actually more like a shortened version of Tuxingsun's earth-walking technique. It is difficult for the enemy to detect it when it is used, and there is not even a trace of spiritual power fluctuation.
The man who had fled at first was lying on the ground, lifeless.
The Gu Master's body was burned black by the opponent, and blisters appeared on his facial skin. He looked extremely painful.
But apart from throwing a healing pill into his mouth, he paid no attention to the burns. Instead, he cautiously walked to the corpse and carefully picked up the space bag.
The corpses of poisonous insects were scattered all over the ground. After killing one thousand enemies, they lost eight hundred of their own. Only a few groups of poisonous insects were still on guard around.
Lin Xiang knew that he was most likely no match for this Gu Master, so he activated the Golden Spirit Sword Pill from a distance and rushed towards the Gu Master with a roar.
His goal was not to kill the Gu Master, but to scare him away!
If it kills people, then what's the difference between him and a Gu Master?
The Gu Master, who had lost most of his means, saw the dripping sword pill and immediately recalled the fear of being dominated by the sword cultivator. He immediately grabbed the space bag in his hand, and then flew into the sky with the Gu insect and the broken gourd.
After Lin Xiang confirmed that the other party had escaped, he crawled out from underground.
This monk who died with his eyes open is a lesson for me!
"It's true that I'm using a vest. I need to get some life-saving means before going to the market over there."
Lin Xiang felt a little uncomfortable because he knew that the Gu Master would come back at any time. He spent some incense points to perform the skill of salvation and sent this unfortunate cultivator into the reincarnation of the underworld.
A cultivator in the Qi Refining Stage can basically only destroy the body and get rid of all traces; it is very difficult to make the other person's soul fly away.
After Lin Xiang's salvation skill landed on this poor soul, his soul floated up from his dead body. Compared to his previous salvation of wandering ghosts, this cultivator's soul seemed more solid and clear even in broad daylight.
The enlightened monk bowed to Lin Xiang and expressed his gratitude.
Just before he was about to enter the cycle of reincarnation in the underworld, the monk pointed to the crevice next to him, and then was taken away by golden light without saying a word.
Helping the dead souls to be reborn is one of the duties of the land god. Lin Xiang walked to the crevice out of curiosity and found a small ring stuck in it.
"Did he know he couldn't defeat the other party and threw the ring in it when he landed?"
This idea appeared in Lin Xiang's mind.
When I picked up the ring and took a look, there was a prompt on the game panel that this was actually a space ring!
Just now, Lin Xiang clearly saw the Gu Master take a space bag from the other party's arms and escape, but it turned out that the truly valuable item was this ring, and the space bag was just a decoy.
"It seems like you should be a cautious person, but even a little carelessness can still lead to mistakes."
Lin Xiang didn't even know the man's name. After thinking about it, he used the earth escape technique to pull the corpse directly to a depth of 100 meters underground. In this way, he could bury it and prevent the corpse from being destroyed by monsters.
No matter what is inside the space ring, it is unexpected wealth.
For him and other players, the value of the space ring is relatively low because they have a 20-grid game package.
However, there is no sign of expanding the parcel grid at the moment, and this kind of space equipment will be needed once the grid is used up.
Space bags take up a relatively large volume, but have a small internal space and cannot hold much things. Therefore, they are the mainstream in the Qi Refining Stage and even the Foundation Establishment Stage.
Space rings are small in size, relatively hidden, and generally have a large internal space. Only the direct descendants of large sects or immortal cultivation families can own them at a low level.
This poor guy has a valuable space ring despite his weak strength. He must have had some great adventures!
Lin Xiang dealt with the other party's body and quickly evacuated to prevent the Gu Master from making a surprise attack.
Before, we were too far apart to check each other's specific level.
Even in the world of cultivation, level is not that important. Skills, spells, magic weapons and combat awareness are more important than level.
With such a great harvest today, he subconsciously fled to the cave where the seed of the cave heaven was previously bred.
The Five Elements Reversal Formation at the entrance of the cave is still there, so it is relatively safe.
Only then did Lin Xiang use his spiritual sense to leave his mark on the space ring, and then opened it.
The space ring looks very small, but it is actually as big as an entire room inside, five meters long and wide, and filled with various items.
What makes Lin Xiang happiest is the spirit stone!
As the currency of the cultivation world, if you don’t have spirit stones, you can’t buy anything even if you go to the market.
There were actually more than a hundred low-level spirit stones and ten mid-level spirit stones in the ring, as well as a large number of unsold spiritual medicines and pills.
These things are already a huge sum of money for a cultivator in the Qi Refining Stage!
The original owner likely just wanted to sell elixirs in various markets, and it had been going smoothly before, but this time, he was targeted by a money-hungry Gu Master. As a result, the spirit stones he obtained through the chance encounter had no chance of being transformed into cultivation and combat power.
Spirit stones can not only be used to purchase items, but can also be held in the hand and absorbed, greatly accelerating the speed of cultivation. It is equivalent to practicing directly near the spirit vein, and the effect is extremely significant!
You can also spend money in the world of cultivation. On the one hand, you can use spirit stones to assist in cultivation, and on the other hand, you can take pills that increase your cultivation level and speed up your cultivation. This two-pronged approach can help you advance quickly.
Each white porcelain bottle had the name of the elixir written on it. Lin Xiang took them out one by one to check out the effects of these elixirs.
[Red Dragon Pill: A pill for the Qi Refining Stage. Taking it will increase your cultivation level appropriately.]
【Bigu Pills: No need to eat for seven days after taking.】
[Spirit Nourishing Pill: Restores spiritual power after taking it.]
[Marrow Cleansing Pill: Appropriately improves physical fitness and increases cultivation efficiency. Repeated consumption will have no effect.]
[Detoxification Pill: A low-level pill that can detoxify most toxins.]
[Huan Yuan Dan: A low-level elixir that can heal injuries after taking it.]
There are many types of these pills. Although they are all low-level, they can be used for everything from fasting to cultivation, interpretation, and treatment of injuries.
It is not easy for a casual cultivator to do this.
It is said that a horse cannot grow fat without night grass and a man cannot become rich without unexpected wealth. It is absolutely true!
If Lin Xiang had not come to the forest, if he had not gone deep into the mountains, if he had not had the courage to follow the two cultivators to fight, if he had not scared the Gu Master away, things would have been very different.
Even if he did all of the above, but failed to liberate the souls of the dead, he would not be able to obtain the space ring.
Opportunities come to those who are prepared.
These substantial gains made him extremely satisfied. They were very useful whether he used them himself, gave them to other players as rewards, or exchanged them in the market.
The spiritual medicines are all very old, and some of the spiritual medicines placed in the jade boxes are still alive, as if they can be grown as soon as they are taken out. There are many intermediate spiritual medicines among them!
There are many miraculous medicines that have medicinal effects of five hundred years or even thousands of years.
In comparison, the ring didn't contain any magical instruments or treasures. If it did, the original owner might have destroyed it. After all, he could afford it!
Lin Xiang took stock of the herbs that he would never use, and planned to plant the ones that were still alive, and keep the ones that had lost their vitality in the ring.
"By the way, these jade slips might contain good things."
Pills and elixirs are consumables and will eventually run out.
The spells and techniques recorded in the jade slips can be transformed into real foundation, which is like teaching people how to fish.
Some of the jade slips are obviously new, while others look very worn.
[Five Elements Magic] This jade slip solved Lin Xiang’s urgent problem!
Although the spells recorded in it are all low-level spells, they are comprehensive enough.
All spells of the five elements of gold, wood, water, fire and earth are recorded, such as wind wall, fireball, golden armor, earth thorns, wooden vines, etc.
Like the players, he possesses all five spiritual elements, and can learn anything he wants, without any restrictions on spiritual root attributes. This gives him and the players more choices!
In addition to the spells, there was also a cultivation method for the first two levels of the [Burning Heaven Dao Canon]. This method looked quite powerful, and the text was obscure. The first two levels alone were enough to cultivate to the Great Perfection of the Qi Refining Stage. I wondered if the original owner had mastered it.
What surprised Lin Xiang the most was the weathered-looking jade slip next to it. It turned out to be the "Nine Elixir Immortal Scripture", which contained various elixir formulas and refining techniques.
"The original owner shouldn't be an alchemist. His adventure should be about alchemy, right?"
Various raw materials for elixirs, fire-attributed skills, and alchemy scriptures all point to the alchemist.
There was also a jade slip that actually contained a map of the area near Gan Country, which was exactly what Lin Xiang needed!
With the map, he can determine his current location as well as the surrounding towns, markets, and even immortal sects, so that he won't be blindly groping in the dark.
However, Lin Xiang couldn't find Dongshan Village or Qifeng Town on this map. The map was relatively incomplete. It only depicted a few large cities and the directions of mountains and rivers. It also showed the locations of towns, cultivation families, and large, medium, and small cultivation forces.
"After we get out, we'll fly up to the sky to confirm the location of Dongshan Village and compare it with the map."
Just as he was looking at the map carefully, he was surprised to find that the map actually drew a path leading to the interior of the Ten Thousand Mountains, but did not indicate where the destination was.
"Could it be the place where he had his adventure?"
If he is really in there, then maybe he can go and see what is going on over there. Maybe it is really the cave of the alchemy master!
Judging from the Qi Refining Stage cultivation level of the original owner of the ring, it is unlikely that he can obtain all the inheritance and benefits. The most important thing is the control over the cave.
Lin Xiang tried his best to calm himself down.
This is a huge gain, I am just helping him to be liberated.
"If I meet you again in the future, I will help you get revenge!"
Since I have received such a great benefit from the other party, I have to do something to help, otherwise I will feel uneasy.
Lin Xiang is not a saint and has never thought of using love and peace to influence others.
He put the ring on the middle finger of his right hand. This space ring looked ordinary. As long as it was not used in front of others, no one would notice its effect.
Yesterday I harvested the Cave Heaven Seeds, and today I harvested a Space Ring. This luck is simply incredible!
Lin Xiang felt that too much was as bad as too little, so he prepared to go back to Dongshan Village to have a good rest and digest what he had gained.
At the same time, within the confines of Dongshan Village, even if a Gu Master came to him, he wouldn't be afraid at all. That was his territory, and even a six-winged golden cicada in the Foundation Establishment stage could be resisted.
Ordinary sacrificial spirits have no home advantage unless they know how to set up formations.
Lin Xiang is mainly the authentic land god appointed by the Heavenly Court. He has the divine power to control the surrounding land and falls within the scope of rules.
The reason for striving to improve the level is to expand the jurisdiction of the land god, strive to take the route of surrounding the cities from the countryside, and bring the rest of the villages and towns under its jurisdiction.
Just as he was about to stand up and put away his swordsman vest, he suddenly sensed a series of prayers.
"Lord of the Land, please come and help us!"
"These people are so abominable. God of the Land, please save us. I beg you."
"Lord of the Land, please show yourself quickly."
"Please save our village. If the food is taken away, we won't even be able to pay the taxes."
"Lord of the Land, please show your power!"
The prayers rang out one after another, lingering directly in Lin Xiang's ears, forcing him to concentrate and listen to the villagers' requests.
He originally thought that there would be no danger in the village during the day, so he asked the players and himself to leave.
Why is the village so poor, yet there are still village chiefs, patrol teams, and hunting team members here?
Since he has enjoyed the incense and paper money offered by others, he cannot stand idly by.
It takes at least a cup of tea to fly back from the mountains.
So Lin Xiang simply used the incense value to return to the statue directly, and then changed his image, took off the swordsman vest, and became the sacrificial spirit and land god of Dongshan Village.
At this time, the situation in Dongshan Village was tense.
The villagers, led by the village chief Wang Minghai, confronted a group of strong men on horseback in front of them, holding weapons and farm tools such as machetes, steel forks, hammers, hoes, kitchen knives, and axe.
The huge wooden gate of the village, which had never been closed, was lying on the ground, and it looked like it had been through a battle before.
These strong men looked very powerful, weapons slung over their shoulders. The leader, with a tattoo on his cheek, pointed at the village and said, "Hand over your food quickly. No matter how you gather it, you have to get thirty bags. Otherwise, I will use my weapons to deal blood."
"Stealing food?"
Lin Xiang finally understood that they were actually a group of horse thieves and bandits!
Wang Minghai had fought with the other side before. The bandit leader was very powerful, and the other fourteen bandits were strong and ruthless. A member of the patrol team was injured just now.
"My dear friends, we really don't have any extra food. Every household's rice jar is empty!" Wang Xiuyuan pretended to be trembling and pleaded, "Please, my dear friends, please be kind."
The bandit leader didn't care about all this. He swung out the horse whip and hit Wang Xiuyuan on the shoulder, making him stagger.
"Don't be so shameless, old man. I know your villages will go to Qifeng Town to pay taxes tomorrow, and you must have prepared food at home by now."
He snorted and jumped off the horse. "If you won't give it to me, I'll take it myself."
The other bandits looked a bit sick. They licked the backs of their knives with their tongues and sneered, "I'd rather you didn't give it to us. That way, we can see blood. Those people from Xishan Village did the same thing. They only gave us the food after we killed them. Why bother? Sooner or later, it will all be ours. We have to wait for a few deaths to know how powerful we are."
Wang Minghai dragged his uncle behind him and refused to give in at all.
This food is life!
If it is stolen by bandits, you will not be able to pay taxes.
Not only will their homes be searched and their bodies forced to do forced labor by the government, but no one will come to repair the roads outside their village. The whole village will suffer!
Lin Xiang was a little confused. Since every village needed the protection of sacrificial spirits to survive safely at night, how did these bandits survive in the mountains?
Could it be that robbers are also protected by sacrificial spirits?
