At the beginning, I traveled through the wilderness, and I controlled the beasts to survive.

The man swung his arm, took out more red notes from his pocket, and threw them in front of the woman: "You are a shrewd countryman, you just think the money is not enough? Are these enough?"

The woman stumbled when he accidentally touched her, and her already weak body slipped and sat down in the mud.

"Mom!"

A crisp cry came from behind the door, and the four or five-year-old girl ran into the wind and rain, helped her mother up, and ran to the front to protect her.

Her little face was angry, and she clenched her fists and hit the legs of the man in white clothes: "Bad guy! Bad guy! I told you not to bully my mother."

"Xiao Nan, don't!"

The woman struggled to stand up from the mud, ignoring the mud on her body, and walked forward to hug the girl.

The scabbard man had a cold face, letting the girl's little fist fall on his leg without any pain, and his right hand slowly reached the hilt of the sword on his back.

The little fist hit more than ten times, and the man opposite did not react, but her little hand was hit red.

"Are you okay?"

The charming woman glanced at the man's hand reaching for the scabbard, exclaimed, and crossed her companions to help the woman.

"Miss, it's not that I don't want to stay with you, it's just that my home is really inconvenient."

The woman saw that the charming woman was a good talker, opened her bloodshot eyes, and said with pale lips trembling.

"I understand, sister, we will find another family, you take this money, it's considered mental damages."

"Oh, no."

"Just take it."

The charming woman put a stack of banknotes into the woman's arms without saying anything, squatted down, and looked at the little girl with a smile.

"Little sister, don't be angry, sister will leave now."

"Let's go, both of you."

"Humph."

The scabbard man snorted coldly, loosened his right hand holding the scabbard, and did not refute his companions' words.

The three of them walked out of the woman's house, turned around, and their eyes happened to meet Han Ning and the other two who were standing not far away watching the excitement.

"Outsiders?!"

The scabbard man looked at the two people's outfits, his eyes narrowed suddenly, and a dangerous light flashed in his eyes.

The charming silver-haired woman in the team changed her expression slightly after seeing Han Ning and Li Changxi, and turned her head to say something to the windbreaker man beside her.

The scabbard man ignored the two companions beside him, walked in front of Han Ning and the others in the wind and rain, stared at them with a cold face, and said coldly:

"Tell me the purpose of your coming here."

"None of your business."

Although Li Changxi was submissive in front of Han Ning, he still looked crazy when talking to others.

"You NMBD, you are looking for death!"

The scabbard man was instantly furious, and his right hand quickly reached for the scabbard, trying to pull out the blade.

Who knew that just when his palm touched the hilt of the sword and was about to draw the sword.

A tight sense of restraint came from all over his body.

It was as if someone was holding a rope and tightly tied his hands, feet and head, unable to move at all.

At this moment, a skinny palm was placed on his right hand.

A light pat.

Snap!

The palm of the scabbard man was knocked aside.

The skinny palm grasped the hilt and pulled out the blade.

Swish~

A flash of cold light appeared, and the rain falling from the sky seemed to be chopped by the cold light.

"Good sword."

Han Ning's figure appeared beside the scabbard man at some point. He held a long sword in his hand, gently stroked the back of the sword with his left hand, and sighed.

This is a sword with a pale purple body and a faint light on the surface.

"You!"

The scabbard man's pupils contracted, and he kept the posture of drawing the sword. His eyeballs kept turning, and his face was full of disbelief.

Han Ning played with the sword and said, "It's none of your business that we came here, right?"

The two companions of the scabbard man were also deeply surprised by the ability shown by Han Ning.

They hurried over, smiling awkwardly: "Sorry to bother you, we'll leave now."

Han Ning said "hmm", put the sword back into the scabbard, and said with a smile:

"I'll teach you a little lesson. Remember to be polite next time you ask people questions."

After the words fell, the scabbard man realized that he could move freely.

The arrogant look on his face disappeared without a trace. He looked at Han Ning deeply, and disappeared into the rain with his two companions.

"Mr. Han, just let them go?" Li Changxi watched the three people leaving, hesitant.

"How is it possible? This is a village, it's not convenient. Wait until we get to the wild, and then consider whether to deal with them."

The air around Han Ning vibrated.

A big black bird, like a jet fighter, broke through the wind and rain and rushed into the sky before Li Changxi could react.

"Yes... I'm overthinking." Li Changxi stammered.

…

In the slightly dark kitchen, there was a plate of pickled vegetables, a small dish of shredded red ginger, a large pot of chicken soup, roasted pig's feet, fried ribs, fried river fish, and a few bowls of white rice.

"The conditions in the mountains are not good, so I can only get this much. This is the remaining money, I'll give it back to you." The old woman took out a few red banknotes that Li Changxi had stuffed in before and put them on the table.

"Hey, you're too polite, old man. All is yours." Li Changxi put the money back into the old woman's pocket without any explanation.

The area near Ludao is a mountainous environment, and there are not many fields where rice can be grown freely. Ordinary people usually eat rice with vegetables grown at home, and cut some pork or something.

"The long sword just now, if I read it correctly, should be the rumored magic sword Hui Eclipse." Li Changxi suddenly said.

"Magic sword?"

"Well, it comes from a certain ruins. The sword contains huge evil power, which will affect the user's emotions, but it is incredibly powerful and can amplify various abilities of extraordinary people."

"Interesting." Han Ning showed an excited expression.

The magic sword must have a lot of energy in it.

He picked up the rice bowl and urged: "Eat, eat."

Do some errands early after eating.

"Old lady, why don't you eat?" Han Ning took a few mouthfuls of rice and stopped using his chopsticks.

"I've eaten, you can eat."

The old woman sat on a small horse next to the earthen stove, leaning against the stove fire to keep warm.

Seeing her look like this, Han Ning thought of his grandmother. Grandma also didn't like to eat with others at the table. She would only wait for others to finish eating before going to the table alone to eat the leftovers left by others.

The two greeted each other many times, but when they saw that the old woman refused to serve, they gave up.

After a tiring day of running around and not eating enough water, Han Ning was really hungry. He didn't mind the simple food. He picked up his rice bowl and ate pig's trotters, pickles, red ginger and so on.

"Old lady, can you tell me what happened to Sister Zou's house at the head of the village recently?"

Li Changxi put down his bowl and chopsticks and asked.

"Hey, you are talking about the Zhou family whose yard is very luxurious."

The old woman let out a long sigh and said slowly:

"It turns out that she was also a poor person. Her husband was a medicine farmer in the village. Over the years, he made some money from the mountain product business. He built several spacious houses in the village and gave birth to a lively and cute little girl. But the good times did not last long. , her husband has been missing for several days."

"We searched all the villages and towns around Ludao and within a fifty-mile radius of our village, but no one was found."

"This is strange. Logically speaking, even if you are dead, you still have to see the body. Did you sneak away to another place?"

"Maybe."

"But people in the village said that her husband was eaten by wild beasts in the mountains when he was relieving himself. In the first few days, she ran into the mountains every day during the day. When she came back at night, her body was covered with scars and her hands were empty. In the past two days, I don't know. Why, she suddenly changed her temper and stayed at home all day, and no one in the village saw her go out. As for why she didn't let you in, there may be something secretive about her. "

Both of them were silent, and the scene became quiet for a moment.

Sudden.

"ah!"

A terrified scream echoed through the silent mountain village.

"problem occurs."

Han Ning suddenly turned his head and looked in the direction of the sound.

Looking through the window lattice, it was already dark. Outside the courtyard, there were villagers in twos and threes holding flashlights and walking on the mud towards the place where the sound came from.

They followed the villagers and came to the yard where Zhou's family was.

A circle of people had already gathered outside, the courtyard door was wide open, and whimpering sounds came from the middle room.

"Is Zou Rong here?"

Several strong men in the village shouted loudly into the house, but there was no response inside.

"It's the smell of blood."

Everyone twitched their noses and smelled a fishy smell.

A series of commotions attracted the three scabbard men who had left not long ago to return to the door.

Han Ning ignored them and swept through the door with his mental energy.

His eyes trembled: "There's something going on inside, hurry up! Open the door!"

At the same time, rustling sounds came from the house,

Several strong men looked at each other, then leaned against the door with their shoulders. There were several bangs, and the door seemed to be tied by a wooden citron, making it difficult to open it.

"I come."

The people gathered at the door suddenly dispersed.

Li Changxi raised his foot, and with a bang, the wooden door fell into pieces, and the few people who entered the house first screamed in surprise.

A man with a black and blue face, wide-open eyes and dull eyes held a female head and sucked the contents of the brain into large mouthfuls. Blood covered the floor.

"He is Zhou Mu!"

Everyone present was moved. Several people who knew him recognized the identity of the monster and cried out in horror.

The little girl slumped on the floor, staring blankly at the scene in front of her.

"stop!"

Li Changxi's voice was like thunder, and his whole body was shaking like chaff.

Immediately afterwards, his entire personality changed, his body became slightly larger, and he faintly exuded an awe-inspiring aura.

He took out three talismans from his arms and threw them around the house.

The talisman paper fell to the corner of the room, connected with each other, and turned into a fine fishing net, slowly closing to cover the monster.

He made unknown marks on his palms and slapped his waist hard.

A palm-sized mahogany sword flew out from under his clothes and flew into his hand as if it was spiritual.

"go!"

Li Changxi's right hand formed the sun hand seal and touched the mahogany sword. The sword immediately emitted an orange light, trembled, and suddenly stabbed the monster.

"Ka da ka da."

The monster was about to escape when he threw the talisman, but was caught in the fishing net.

Seeing the golden mahogany sword flying close to it, the monster hurriedly rushed left and right, but to no avail. The wooden sword passed through its body and it let out a shrill scream.

The stab wound was like boiling water pouring over the body, emitting wisps of black smoke.

Zou Rong's head fell to the ground, and Gululu rolled in front of the little girl.

"mom!"

The little girl held up her mother's head and cried loudly.

"Damn it, Zhou Mu even ate his own mother-in-law!"

"No, he is no longer a human, just a body enslaved by a monster."

Li Changxi's voice was cold, he took the flying wooden sword and walked quickly to "Zhou Mu".

Zhou Mu rolled into a ball on the ground and kept making unknown low growls from his mouth.

Li Changxi took out another talisman from his arms, put it on Zhou Mu's forehead, and muttered something.

After a while, Zhou Mu stopped rolling and lay straight on the floor, no longer making any noise.

But Li Changxi stretched out his palm, clasped Zhou Mu's face with his five fingers, and gently pulled upwards with a faint blood glow on his fingertips.

A blur of soul was pulled out of Zhou Mu's body.

"Three souls and seven souls were taken away, two souls and five souls were taken away, leaving only the earth soul and the smelly lungs."

Li Changxi murmured something, then pinched his hand, his throat trembling, as if he was talking to Zhou Mu's soul.

The blurry soul stared blankly at the little girl.

The soul body finally reacted. He turned his head mechanically and looked at Li Changxi, opening and closing his mouth slightly.

After only a few words of exchange between one person and one soul, Zhou Mu's soul seemed to have suffered some stimulation and became extremely unstable.

Li Changxi's expression changed slightly and his speech speed became faster, like a bee buzzing.

There was a force pulling at him in the dark, and Zhou Mu's soul shook violently several times. Finally, unable to withstand the conflict between the two forces, it turned into a stream of light and flew into the distance.

"How's it going?" Han Ning watched this scene with interest. This boy's invitation to the gods was a bit interesting.

Li Changxi looked defeated and said in a low voice: "The situation is not good. The opponent controls his two souls and five souls. He has an innate advantage. I can't beat him."

"It seems that the problem still lies in the ruins. There is a high probability that Zhou Mu will die because of us, hey."

Although he has a crazy temperament, he is still a conscientious person under normal circumstances.

"Enter the mountain in advance, otherwise more people may be affected." Han Ning sighed softly.

"Okay, let me first save this poor woman."

Li Changxi looked sad and spoke in an ancient accent. He held the tear-stained little girl in his arms and comforted her softly, asking her to put her head down.

The girl held her mother's head tightly and refused to let go.

Under the gentle comfort of the villagers, the little girl finally let go. Li Changxi put down Zou Rong's incomplete head and recited salvation scriptures.

When he finished reciting the last word, a vague soul appeared from the woman's mutilated body. The woman looked at the little girl and her husband's mutilated body in a daze, bowed to Li Changxi, and disappeared from the world. .

"They are all pitiful people, hey."

"Excuse me, everyone, it's over now. Let's bury them."

Li Changxi bowed his head to the villagers.

"This is not okay, it will expose our identities."

Han Ning shook his head, his mental energy sweeping through him like a hurricane.

All the villagers present seemed to have fallen into dementia. Some people carried the bodies of the couple mechanically and began to dig holes in the courtyard.

The little girl stared blankly at her buried parents, unable to stop the tears in her eyes.
