Chapter 394: Possession
"Recently, a group of difficult robbers have been roaming the country trade roads, threatening passers-by. The sheriff of Marion City has issued a reward of 10 dinars for each robber captured or killed."
Sitting on a big rock at the entrance of the village, Zhang Yang held a bounty in his hand, his face looking very strange. He had only occupied this nameless village for less than half a day, and the sheriff actually issued a bounty? That was fine, but what really worried him was the pursuit that was following him.
He didn't know how the main body had offended the remnant soul of fate and the dead shareholder, but it was definitely not a trivial matter, so he couldn't have any luck.
He had previously escaped from Marion City by using his cousin's talent of blood sacrifice. Was he going to use this all the time? It didn't sound reliable.
Zhang Yang even deeply suspected that if his initial guess was true, the remnant soul of destiny was meant to support someone, then one day, his talent for blood sacrifice of his cousin would become his fatal noose.
"So, if I don't make a decision, I will suffer the consequences. I will give up this body."
Zhang Yang jumped down from the big rock. Below him were fifty militiamen, whom he had forcibly recruited from the village. Relying on his fists, he beat dozens of farmers so hard that they were in a panic, crying bitterly and had to surrender.
"come over!"
Zhang Yang picked up a wooden stick and called a farmer out. He wanted to train these guys how to fight, at least the most basic fighting.
“Bang!”
"Hold your weapons steady."
"Stand up straight!"
"Keep your bottom plate steady!"
Zhang Yang adjusted the pale farmer like a spinning top, and pointed out some basic principles loudly. Well, he should be able to understand.
“Bang!”
After knocking the farmer on the opposite side down with a stick, Zhang Yang called the next one. He was not only training, but also looking for suitable seedlings.
It’s true that among these fifty farmers and robbers, there were a few brave and well-behaved ones, especially a seventeen-year-old boy named Theo, who was so angry and courageous.
When Zhang Yang deliberately gave in, he even used a series of small moves and finally knocked Zhang Yang to the ground. The scene was instantly filled with thunderous cheers, and a group of farmers almost came up with forks.
With this beginning, the farmers who followed finally mustered up a little courage, at least daring to confront Zhang Yang alone.
After training for a whole day, the farmers were so tired that they were sticking out their tongues and their whole bodies were in pain. Zhang Yang was also very "tired". After a big meal and half a bucket of beer, he lay on the ground, snoring loudly.
At this time, the farmer, who had been irritated by Zhang Yang during the day, had eyes like hungry wolves.
However, in the end, no one dared to step forward and take action.
Just when Zhang Yang was getting worried about them, the young boy Theo appeared. He was like a hero, holding a dagger. Under the gaze of all the farmers, he stepped forward and chopped Zhang Yang's chest directly with a black wolf's heart-ripping knife.
Blood splattered, but it was not fatal at all. Zhang Yang sighed in his heart, roared, pinched the boy Theo's throat with one hand, held the other's knife-holding hand with the other hand, and pressed down hard.
The next moment, the two sides entered a stalemate. The farmers who were stunned around finally came to their senses. They grabbed various stones and forks and rushed up, smashing Zhang Yang's head.
No one noticed the smug smile on Zhang Yang's lips.
He died, but at the same time he also strangled the young Theo to death.
The souls of both parties could not possibly intersect, but even if Zhang Yang's soul was only one percent of his original body, it would be so powerful that even if his body died, he could instantly turn into a demon.
What's more, this time he had a clear conscience and was acting in self-defense from beginning to end.
So, the moment the young Theo's soul floated out of his body due to suffocation, Zhang Yang's soul bit it viciously, swallowed it directly, and then naturally took over the young Theo's body.
At this time, the farmers finally managed to rescue Theo. They pressed his chest and cried out for him. Then Zhang Yang hiccuped and finally came back to life.
The little hero Theo was successfully reincarnated.
The farmers cheered all night long, while the robbers slipped away in the dark.
At dawn the next day, the farmers buried the evil corpse in their fields, and the matter ended in such an incredible way.
Zhang Yang was worried about this for a while, until he found out more than 20 days later that indeed no one came to his door, and then he believed it.
But he was also curious. It was said that the fifth-order antivirus hunters all had dog noses, comparable to Sherlock Holmes. Why was it so unbearable this time? The truth was actually very simple. The talent of the blood-sacrificed cousin returned to Zhang Yang's original body after the death of that body.
At that time, the remnant soul of destiny was indeed using this direction as a breakthrough point. If Zhang Yang hesitated for a few more hours, he would really be caught.
When the remnant soul of destiny realizes that the talent of the blood-sacrificed cousin has returned to Zhang Yang's body, it will naturally think that Zhang Yang's trumpet has died accidentally. After all, it was just a C-level trumpet.
When the Fate Remnant Soul withdrew the bounty, the antivirus hunter who was most likely to find out the truth of the matter no longer had the motivation to investigate further.
As a result, Zhang Yang transformed into a farmer but remained safe and sound.
“Hoohoo!”
“Buzz!”
Early in the morning, in the quiet little village, Zhang Yang, transformed into the young boy Theo, is training seriously, sweat pouring down his face like water.
puncture,
Sweep,
Block,
These few simple movements actually contained some murderous intent.
A full hour later, the sun was shining on the earth and Zhang Yang's stomach began to growl. He stopped, looked at the black watch hidden by his sleeve, and nodded with satisfaction.
A morning training can increase long pole proficiency by 1 point, which is good.
Next, Zhang Yang began to do movements to relax his body. After all, this was a mortal body. Even though he was young, his foundation was still very poor and he couldn't let it be ruined.
And similar methods of soul possession as before should not be used frequently, as they will cause irreparable harm to oneself.
"Hey, I'm a worthless person now. The main body is enjoying a good life over there, but I have to start from scratch. It's interesting."
Thinking this way, Zhang Yang did not feel unhappy, because no matter whether it was the main body or the trumpet, they were all himself. Would it be stupid to be hard on himself? His main concern now was how to break through the limits of this body, break through the mundane, enter the extraordinary, and finally build a foundation before leaving this world.
For this purpose, Zhang Yang secretly dug out his predecessor's body more than ten days ago and took away the black watch that represented the Wanderer Camp.
Well, at that time he was just thinking of giving it a try, but who would have thought that the black watch was actually taken off and even changed.
I don’t know if all the Wanderer camps were wiped out by the antivirus hunters, leaving only this last black watch, so this thing actually became the Wanderer system.
This is fucking hilarious.
When I reached middle age, a system suddenly appeared in my mind.
In short, Zhang Yang accepts everyone who comes to him, and he will not refuse such sugar-coated cheating.

"Theo!"
Someone was shouting in the distance. It was the father of the young boy Theo. He was a little angry. As a farmer's son, Theo actually had the crazy idea of becoming a mercenary. This was simply outrageous.
"I see."
Zhang Yang shouted. It was easy for him to deal with this cheap old father. However, what bothered him was that it was less than a month since the village was kidnapped, and the villagers had forgotten the little dark night hero Theo. Therefore, he had to go to the fields during the day to work in an extremely backward way.
What's worse, the farmers don't seem to have the habit of eating breakfast.
As a result, Zhang Yang's breakfast these days has been roasted field mice, roasted grasshoppers, roasted frogs, and roasted bird eggs.
“Ding ding ding!”
Just as Zhang Yang was walking towards the field with farm tools in his hand with a sad face, the broken bell in the center of the village was rung.
"Everyone must gather. I hope it's not the lords who are here to recruit soldiers."
The cheap father grumbled a little, but he didn't even have the courage to curse.
When Zhang Yang arrived at the center of the village, there was a spacious grassland where the village chief's home was. However, the most conspicuous people at this time were two soldiers on horseback and a man who looked like a clerk.
Under the gaze of all the villagers, the clerk took out a roll of parchment and announced loudly.
"By order of Baron Charles, in order to fight against the invasion of the Dasha people, following the advice of Marshal Duke Brunus, 50 new soldiers will be recruited in Hadley Village. Each new soldier will be given 15 dinars. If they seize any spoils on the battlefield, they can keep half of them. Are there any brave people willing to follow the Baron?"
As soon as the clerk finished speaking, while all the villagers were stunned, Zhang Yang had already broken free from the clutches of his cheap father, and jumped and shouted, "I am willing to follow the Baron! My name is Theo."
"Poor Theo, he's gone mad."
Someone in the crowd sighed quietly. After all, Zhang Yang's strange behavior during this period had caused a lot of talk among the villagers.
But this is also the reason why Zhang Yang had to jump out. Only by constantly fighting can he become stronger. Otherwise, if he stays in this mountain village, when will he be able to upgrade again?
