Panacea Porter

Chapter 986 Slaughter Village
"Huh! How far is it from Yanshan City, Master."

Lilith asked, wiping the sweat off her forehead.

Since worshiping Li Ming as his teacher that day, Li Ming returned the jade pendant early the next morning, and took Lan Qian, You Ya, and his two apprentices to Yanshan City.

It has been three days since I walked this way, and Lilith obviously has never traveled long distances, so she is a bit overwhelmed.

"According to the map, at our current speed, it will take at least five days."

Yasuo held a map in his hand, carefully compared his location, and made an accurate judgment.

"It will take five more days, my God, Master, it's fine for me to be exposed to the wind and the sun, but you, old man, have the heart to let Master's wife also be exposed to the sun and rain!"

Lilith came to Li Ming and said delicately.

She was talking, and looked at Lanxi, with a pleading expression on her face.

Along the way, in order to deceive others, Li Ming walked in some remote places, and even refused to go to official roads. During the three-day trip, the five of them spent half of the time on foot.

Although in terms of the strength of the five people, this walking is nothing at all, even if they are on the road for three days, it will not be too much, but if they have the opportunity to ride a horse or even take a car, no one would like to walk.

Because of this, Lilith hoped that Li Ming would change his mind and find a small town to buy two horses, so at least he would not have to continue walking.

"No, since Raphael told us to walk, there is a reason to walk, and I'm not tired."

Lanxi looked like a good wife and mother, she smiled softly, and she didn't have the slightest dissatisfaction because of the long journey.

She firmly believed that Li Ming must have his own reasons for doing so. For her, as long as she could be by Li Ming's side, it was enough. As for other things, she didn't care at all.

"Lilith, I have to emphasize to you that this time we are going to Yanshan City, we must conceal our identities, and we must not let anyone know our origins, and we must not even let anyone know about our going to Yanshan City , so in order to avoid leaking the news, we still have to go to remote places as much as possible for the next two days, but after two days, when we go far away, we can choose to ride a horse."

"I see, but Master, what is the purpose of our trip to Yanshan City this time?"

Lilith asked.

Following Lilith's question, the other three also cast curious glances at Li Ming.

Everyone didn't know what the mission to Yanshan City was this time, and Li Ming didn't tell them. After all, this matter was of great importance. The less Lan Qian and the others knew the truth, the less danger they would have.

"Don't ask too much about this matter. I will tell you when the time is right, but you must remember that unless it is absolutely necessary, you must not reveal your identity."

"Lilith, Yasuo, and Youya, going to Yanshan City this time is also a good thing for you to learn how to refine inscription tools. Watch and learn more then."

Originally, Li Ming only accepted Lilith and Yasuo as his disciples, but when he set out, Yuya's eyes were filled with envy when she learned about this, which made Li Ming's heart move, and he also took Youya in. .

Anyway, Yuya served him for a while, and teaching Yuya how to refine the inscription device is not a big deal.

As for this is an excellent opportunity for the three of them, Li Ming was not joking. One of the tasks of going to Yanshan City this time is to supervise and instruct the inscription masters of the Inscription Union Branch of Yanshan City to refine inscription tools. This is the practice of the three of them. If the three of them can seize this opportunity, under Li Ming's guidance, the ability to refine inscription devices can at least be greatly improved.

"kill!"

"Woooooh, please, let us go!"

"Mother, father! Don't die!"

"grandfather!"

Not far away, there were wailing and crying.

Accompanied by these voices, flames flashed one after another, and the bloody breath wafted into the noses of Li Ming and his party.

"There seems to be an accident in a small village over there. Master, let's go and have a look?"

Lilith's complexion changed, and she asked Li Ming for his opinion.

The smell of blood was too strong, and it was obvious that something unusual had happened.

"Let's rush over and have a look!"

Without saying a word, Li Ming took the initiative to rush towards the small village.

Lanxi and the others did not hesitate and followed behind Li Ming.

After a while, the five of them came to the small village.

The smell of blood became stronger, and the blood had already stained the ground red.

In the small village, there were [-] bandits holding machetes and sitting on horses who were plundering the village. Anyone who dared to stop them was cut off by the horse one by one.

The smell of blood was emitted by the corpses of the villagers in the village. It can be clearly seen that there are at least hundreds of corpses on the ground. Some old and weak women and children are shivering in the corners, and some young and middle-aged villagers are holding hoes in their hands. Bite the bullet and confront the robber.

"Why, you still dare to resist us? You have only handed in half of the tribute money this year. As a price, half of the people in your village were slaughtered. What do you have to say?"

The leader of the robbers was a bearded man.

The bearded man sat on the horse, looking at the villagers proudly.

His knife was stained with blood, one can imagine what kind of disaster this village experienced before Li Ming and the others arrived.

"Second master, you also know that this year's harvest is not good. Our village has tried its best to hand in the head fee. This half is already all the savings of our village. If you want to slaughter all the villagers, what will we do next year? Tribute!"

An old man with a white beard spoke tremblingly.

The old man with the white beard is the head of this small village. He looked at the big knife in the bearded man's hand in horror. His son had just died by the bearded knife.

This made the village chief hate and be afraid of the bearded man. He wished to eat the meat of the bearded man and drink the blood of the bearded man, but there were a large number of villagers behind him, which made him afraid to provoke him.

"Old man, don't tell me these useless things. According to the rules, this village with a radius of 5000 miles, no matter how big or small, pays tribute according to the head. There are 500 people in your village, but you only handed over [-] people. Head fee, since this is the case, there is no need for the remaining [-] people to exist, if you continue to stop us, you will all die!"

The bearded man sneered, there were only 20 of them, and 300 people were massacred in the village. After deducting the old, weak, women and children, there were still more than 2000 young and middle-aged people.

But even so, the people in the village still did not dare to resist the bearded fellows.

This group of people is just the vanguard. If the villagers dare to resist, more robbers will be attracted, and then the village will really be destroyed.

Not only that, there are many masters among these robbers, who can fight against ten or even one against a hundred. To the villagers, they are gods aloof and have no ability to resist at all.

"Please be kind to the second master, we will definitely work hard to pay enough head fees."

The old village chief begged, all the snot and tears flowed out.

He witnessed his son being killed by the bearded man, but he had to bow down to him, which made him suffer a lot.

But the situation is stronger than people, even if the old village chief doesn't want to, he can only do this.

"Hmph, if you said that from the beginning, I might give you a few more days, but you dare to resist and even hurt one of my brothers, then I can't let you go, brothers, kill me!" Kill 3000 people in this village and let everyone know what will happen if you dare to resist us!"

The bearded man ordered.

With one word from him, the robbers howled like wolves.

The robbers all looked at the villagers excitedly. In their eyes, these 3000 people were not [-] living, flesh-and-blood human lives, but [-] ants. The sense of guilt they felt, on the contrary, aroused their ferocity and made them eager to try.

"Kill me!"

The bearded sword fell, and nineteen horses charged towards the trembling villagers.

The old village chief closed his eyes in despair. At this point, they have no way to resist. Nineteen horses can trample to death countless villagers with just one charge.

At this critical moment, a figure appeared between the robbers and the villagers.

The human figure yelled softly, like Huang Zhong Dalu, which was deafening.

All the nineteen horses stopped instinctively, not daring to continue charging, and the robbers sitting on the horses all looked in a panic because of inertia, and two of them flew out of the horses and fell to the ground.

This change stunned the robbers and the villagers, and all eyes were on the figure that appeared out of thin air.

The bearded man's expression was unfriendly, he stared at the figure, pointed his sword at the figure, and roared angrily, "Who the hell are you?"

"Who am I, are you qualified to know?"

Li Ming looked at the bearded man indifferently. Li Ming heard clearly the conversation between the other party and the village chief.

This made him furious. This group of robbers were simply scum and scum. In the eyes of the robbers, the villagers were not even ants.

"It's just a piece of trash with Tier [-] strength, who dares to act like a domineering here, who gave you the guts!"

Li Ming shouted again, and the invisible killing intent spread, directly gathering on the bearded man.

The bearded man was startled, staggered all over his body, lost his seat and fell off the horse.

At the same time that the beard fell off the horse, his mount turned and ran away, abandoning its master.

This scene stunned everyone present.

What, what is going on here? Why did the bearded man, who has always been domineering, fall off his horse for no reason?
