Chapter 898 Chapter 5: A Town Ruled by Monsters
"You carry the load, and I'll lead the horse."
As Goblin Ziyu sings, it becomes clear that they are not the same people who are seeking the scriptures, but a team that is fighting the Demon King and they have set out on their journey again after adding two companions.
Li Muhan also noticed one thing, that is, the world seemed to be becoming more and more real... and not as perfunctory as before.
Many plants and rivers began to appear on the road, and the sky was no longer a simple pixel map.
It's like a painting that is slowly being completed as they travel.
"According to the information I have, there should be a town ahead. In that town, there lives a terrifying monster. It has occupied the town's lord's tower and demands tribute from the townspeople every day."
Su Xue said as she recalled her lines.
"Oh, can we go around it?" Li Muhan said with a sigh.
"No! Hero! We are a righteous subjugation team! That town is being invaded by monsters! We must save it!"
The saint said righteously.
"Oh." Li Muhan and Lin Ziyu both sighed.
"Yin Qi, aren't you a witch? Can't you conjure up some kind of transportation? It's so troublesome to walk there like this."
Lin Ziyu turned and looked at Yin Qi and said.
Yin Qi was still wearing the loose magic robe and holding a cane in his hand.
"I only know one magic now."
Yin Qi said as she waved her staff, and then a Q-version kitten fell from the sky and landed in her arms.
".....Then what is your big pot used for?" Lin Ziyu couldn't help but complain.
"Cooking cat food."
"So you want to stew me and make cat food?!"
Just as the two were arguing, Li Muhan noticed the shadow of a town appearing in front of him.
It was a small town shrouded in dark clouds, with a tall tower standing in the center of the town. Thunder, lightning, strong winds and rainstorms continued to ravage the town.
"It's said that a monster has exerted some kind of power there, and all residents are unable to leave the town. If they want to survive, they can only pay tribute to the monster."
Su Xue said.
"What tribute?" Li Muhan suddenly asked curiously.
"I don't know, maybe it's blood, or maybe it's... a soul."
Su Xue frowned.
Li Muhan couldn't help feeling a little nervous.
After some discussion, the few people finally decided to go to the town to take a look. After all, the great hero didn’t even have a weapon now, and the fire stick was bitten to pieces by Yin Qi’s cat.
Now the only ones who can serve as combat forces are Su Xue and Yin Qi's cat.
If we don't strengthen our fighting power quickly, we will just be giving away our heads if we go to the Demon King's castle now.
When they arrived at the town gate, they found that the entire gate was in a very dilapidated state and there were no guards at all.
There was a notice posted at the entrance to the town.
[Warning to all travelers: Do not enter the town, do not enter the town! Do not enter the town! This town is for entry only and cannot be exited! Leave now! Do not become a captive of that terrifying monster! !]
"Okay, they told us not to go in, let's go."
Li Muhan turned around and was about to leave, but was immediately hugged by the saint.
"No! No! You can't! A hero cannot retreat!"
"Which hero is so shabby! You won't even give me a weapon!!"
"My dear hero!! If you defeat the Demon King, I will marry you!!"
"I'm married, sis!!"
Boom! Crackle!
Just as the two were talking, thunder began to rumble over the town, and then a bolt of lightning struck the gate with a bang, as if the arrival of several people had angered some kind of existence.
"Fuck!"
Li Muhan has been striking people with lightning all his life, and now that he was almost struck by lightning, he realized how terrifying this feeling is.
Just as everyone was panicking, an old man suddenly appeared at the door.
"Everyone! What did you just do? Why did that gentleman suddenly get angry?!"
Several people looked at the old man, half of his body huddled behind the city wall, looking very frightened.
"Ah? We are just travelers passing through. Okay, we are leaving now. I wish you a happy life."
After experiencing the thunder, Yin Qi, Su Xue and Lin Ziyu all turned around and prepared to leave.
The saint hugged Li Muhan tightly from behind.
"No! Don't go! Hero!! A true hero! You can't run away from the battlefield!! You are going to be my future husband!!"
Boom!!!
This time the thunder was even more violent, directly smashing the city gate. At the moment the collapsed city gate buried the old man, Su Xue rushed over and saved the old man, but her body also entered the town.
"There's something wrong!" Li Muhan cursed, pointing at the tower.
"We were just passing by! Did we provoke you?! You have such a bad temper, don't you?!"
Su Xue slowly stood up and tried to walk out of the town, but found that an invisible barrier had appeared at the city gate.
"......It seems that the only way is to defeat that monster."
Yoongi sighed helplessly and walked into the town first.
Li Muhan and Lin Ziyu looked at each other, and finally had no choice but to enter the town.
The old man used to be the mayor, but now he is completely paralyzed and there is no need for a mayor anymore.
Now everyone here has to work for that monster, working overtime day and night, just to pay tribute to her.
The old man took them to his home.
"Normally... that monster isn't this aggressive. I don't know why, but since you all arrived, it's been like it's going through menopause, thundering non-stop. Travelers, what did you do just now to provoke that monster?"
When they arrived just now, Su Xue and Yin Qi observed that the doors of all the houses in the town were closed, and basically the townspeople did not leave their homes, but strange noises could be heard coming from every house.
It sounded like something was being made, and the air in the town was filled with a sweet smell.
Add to that the sudden thunder that just came...
So Yin Qi and Su Xue actually have some guesses now.
"Alas, ever since that monster took over the town, although it hasn't hurt anyone, it's been arrogant and doesn't care about anyone. It even imprisoned us in this town and made us pay tribute constantly. All of us are suffering terribly."
As the mayor said this, he hugged his wife and cried.
"I deeply sympathize with your situation, but I..."
Li Muhan was just about to say that he could do nothing to help when the saint next to him suddenly stood up, her whole body emitting a holy light.
"Please rest assured, Lord Mayor! I am the kingdom's saint! And this one is the legendary hero! He has come to save this town!"
"Ah?" Li Muhan was stunned.
"Really?! It's the Brave Master! Has the Brave Master finally arrived in the world of Onkras?!"
"Huh? The name of this world has changed again? No, wait, I..."
"The hero is not only strong! He is also gentle! He cares about the world! He will not let anyone suffer!"
The aura of Our Lady continues to surround the Saint.
Li Muhan became anxious. He stood up and wanted to say something, but Su Xue grabbed Li Muhan's sleeve.
"Brother Mu Han, no, Master Brave, this matter... maybe you can really handle it."
"Ah??? Sister Xue! You just saw it too, the power of thunder! In my current state, wouldn't I be burnt on the outside and tender on the inside if I get hit by it?! Sister Xue, even if all of us attack together, I'm afraid we won't be able to deal with that thing, right?!"
Su Xue and Yin Qi looked at each other, then looked at Li Muhan and said, "Who said we were going together? You might be the only one who can handle that thing."
