Fantastic Fantasy: Marrying a Beautiful Wife at the Opening Competition

"Tribute?"

This is the second time Zhong Xiong heard this word. He looked at Fangran who had a pale face, hesitated for a while, and asked, "Did something happen in the village?"

"Brother Zhong, this matter has nothing to do with you, so don't ask too many questions."

Fangran waved his hand, obviously not wanting to involve Zhong Xiong.

Zhong Xiong wanted to say something when he saw this, but a systematic voice suddenly appeared in his mind.

"Hey, congratulations to the host for triggering Adventure Mission No. [-]: Black Dragon in Disguise!"

"Mission requirements: According to the clues, find the guardian monster of Black Dragon Village!"

The system prompt sounded suddenly, which made Zhong Xiong stunned.

Adventure mission?

"Is the extra column because I just asked that question?"

Zhong Xiong felt a little surprised when he remembered what he said just now.

By mistake, I accidentally triggered the adventure mission.

"If you didn't ask, you probably missed this mission."

Zhong Xiong was a little dumbfounded, but he also noticed the description of the task.

A black dragon in disguise?This mission is also related to monsters?

"Of course, I'm already half of the village, and it's not unrelated to this matter."

Zhong Xiong opened his mouth, but saw Fangran's body suddenly stopped, and his expression was a little unnatural.

Because of the darkening sky, Zhong Xiong didn't pay attention to the blush on her face, seeing the other party stop and asked: "Hey, what's wrong?"

"Nothing is nothing!"

Fangran opened his mouth, then hesitated for a while, and finally said, "I don't know if Brother Zhong still remembers the relocation that Grandpa Ye said just now."

"remember."

Grandpa Ye was an old man who knew his mother. Zhong Xiong still remembered that Fang Shan was very angry and said something, but Fang Qing stopped him just because he was an outsider.

"Heilongzhai does a lot of evil locally, so many villages near us plan to relocate and merge into one town."

"Will the forces in Yulan City agree?"

Zhong Xiong was a little puzzled. It was obviously not a good thing for the people of Yulan City to unite the nearby villages.

"The Tianyuan Village that took the lead in organizing is under the banner of Tianyuanzong in Yulan City. Although it is not a big force in Yulan City, it has also received tacit approval. This is also the reason why some people in the village objected, because that Tianyuanzong must not be safe. kindly."

Fangran gritted his teeth, and then continued: "Heilongzhai also noticed this, so they put pressure on us. Some people in the village wanted to agree because of Heilongzhai's reasons, so now the village is divided into two factions to quarrel."

"What about the tribute?"

"In the past, Black Dragon Village would ask us to pay silver, live poultry, and even living monsters. These were used as tributes and enshrined to Master Heilong. After knowing that our villages planned to unite, they asked us to replace the tributes with people."

When Fangran mentioned these things, his face turned pale again, and his body trembled a little: "They said that women between the ages of 15 and 30 should be tributes to Lord Black Dragon..."

"Beasts!"

Zhong Xiong scolded, the bandits in Heilongzhai wanted tributes but their threats were real, and they planned to use this as an excuse to rob women.

"Are they coming over tonight?"

Zhong Xiong glanced back, and found that the two groups of people who were arguing had dispersed, but they were still holding weapons in their hands, and they were walking towards the entrance of the village.

"Yes. Yuan Village said that day that they would send people over to help, but I think they will definitely bring up the matter of alliance again at that time."

After Fangran finished speaking, he didn't say anything else, but subconsciously moved towards Zhong Xiong's position.

Zhong Xiong also remained silent, sighing inwardly.

The current situation in Jinglan Village can be described as a dilemma.

Whether it is Heilongzhai or the so-called village union, it is not a good thing for this village.

It's just Jinglan Village, but there is no room for choice, only one of them can be chosen.

"Strength, in the final analysis, is still a question of strength."

……

After leaving Fangran's house, Zhong Xiong went back to the house where his mother's family used to live and lay on the bed.

He hasn't slept, the night is long, and he has a lot to do.

"Thump, thump, thump!"

There were hurried footsteps outside, and faintly noisy voices, Zhong Xiong immediately got up, pushed the door and went out.

Outside, the people of Jinglan Village were holding fire and weapons. Zhong Xiong followed the flow of people and met Fangran and others on the way.

"Brother Zhong!"

Seeing Zhong Xiong, the little girl Fang Lan waved her hands, her tone was a little low, not as lively as in the daytime.

"Brother Zhong Xiong, we..."

Fang Shan on the side wanted to go up to remind him, but he saw Zhong Xiong wave his hand: "My mother is from the village, and I'm also half of Jinglan Village. When something happens in the village, I can't just stand by and watch."

These words made several people startled, especially Fangran, whose beautiful eyes were full of splendor.

She didn't expect that Zhong Xiong would really come over.

"Okay then, let's go together."

Fang Shan looked a little excited, after all, the village really needs strength at this time.

Moreover, Zhong Xiong has a treasure storage device, maybe he has an unusual status, and maybe he can really help the village.

A group of people walked towards the entrance of the village. Although the villagers with weapons were all around, Zhong Xiong shook his head secretly.

Judging from the genuine energy emitted by these villagers, most of them are at the Body Forging Realm, and there are not many at the Profound Qi Realm, not even a single decent profound weapon.

As for Heilongzhai, according to what he knew from Fangran, although there were less than a hundred bandits in it, all of them were warriors in the Xuanqi realm, and several leaders were masters in the Yinyang realm.

This kind of strength gap makes many people just die.

Soon he saw the people from Heilongzhai at the entrance of the village. These bandits all wore dark robes, held torches, and rode tall horses, blocking the doorway in a row.

Zhong Xiong roughly counted and found that there were less than ten people who came, but all of them were in the Xuanqi Realm, and the lowest level of cultivation was also at the seventh floor of the Xuanqi Realm. No one even owned this realm in Jinglan Village.

"The untouchables of Jinglan Village, where is the tribute for this month! Hurry up and bring it out!"

The first strong man shouted that he was the leader of these people, and the big knife in his hand protruded extra under the light of the torch, which made the villagers of Dejinglan Village dare not speak out.

"My lords, wait for a moment, we will bring the tribute here now."

Three people from Jinglan Village came out to the bandit in Black Dragon Village. The person who spoke was the village chief Fang Yunxiang. He was also the strongest person in the village, and his cultivation was at the eighth level of the Profound Qi Realm.

But this cultivation base is not enough for the bandits in Heilongzhai.

During the conversation between the two, a group of people pulled a few wooden carts with cages over. Zhong Xiong found that the cages were full of monsters, but their strength was extremely weak and their breath was very weak.

Some villagers also carried bags full of silver taels and a cart of food, obviously these were tributes.

The leader of Heilongzhai glanced at those "tributes", then raised the big knife in his hand, and slashed at the village chief Fang Yunxiang!
