"Traveler," Enkidu said.

"It's not a black thief, is it?" the crossbow-wielding man asked.

"Do I look like it?" Enkidu asked, thinking that the gangsters had been wiped out in the capital, and there would be no more gangsters from now on, but the time was too short, and the villagers in these places didn't know yet.

The crossbow-wielding man said, "You look like a troublesome person."

With that said, he raised his crossbow, pointed it at Enkidu, and said, "Come on, don't come to cause trouble, you are not welcome here."

Black Dragon Nightmare shouted to the crossbow-wielding man, "We have walked for a long time and are tired. Do you really want to refuse people thousands of miles away?"

Although Black Dragon Nightmare was blind, he could determine the location of the man holding the crossbow based on the source of the sound.

"If you don't leave, I will shoot an arrow." The man holding the crossbow shouted.

Black Dragon Nightmare tried his best to sense the position of the man holding the crossbow, and judged that the man holding the crossbow should be standing on a high place. He walked forward, walked to the bottom of the sentry tower, and punched the sentry tower. The wooden sentry tower suddenly fell apart. The man holding the crossbow fell from a height of more than four people, hit his head on a nail on the board with a thud, and died on the spot.

"You see, I am very powerful and I am in the hunting business. If you give us wine, we will pay you double the compensation when we get rich in the future."

Black Dragon Nightmare spoke into the air, as if he didn't realize that the man holding the crossbow had fallen to his death.

"If that's okay, I'd like to say something, hello?" Black Dragon Nightmare shouted.

"The man is dead," Enkidu said.

"What? You said the man you just spoke to is dead? How did he die? I didn't hear you draw your sword?" Black Dragon Nightmare asked in confusion.

"You knocked the tower he was standing on apart. He fell down and died." Enkidu said.

"Is he standing that high?" Black Dragon Nightmare had no idea that he had killed someone unintentionally.

"Human life is more fragile than you think." Enkidu said coldly.

"Actually, I thought he was standing on a rock. I just wanted to crack the rock to scare him, but he didn't expect it to be wood, and he was broken up by me." Black Dragon Nightmare said.

The three of them walked into the village and found that every household in the village was closed and the streets were very depressed.

Enkidu observed that there was a house with the word "tavern" written on it, but the words were very faint and could not be seen clearly, as if they had been manually erased.

"This may be a closed tavern." Enkidu pointed to the house.

"Tavern? Closed? Where is it?" Black Dragon Nightmare asked.

Enkidu knocked on the door of the tavern, and the door opened. The person who opened the door was a red-haired young man.

"Is something wrong?" The red-haired young man looked like he hadn't woken up.

"This is a tavern, isn't it?" Enkidu asked.

"Didn't you see that the word "tavern" has been scratched off?" the red-haired man said.

"But there should be wine here. We are tired from the journey and want to stay at your place for one night." Enkidu said. "I will pay for something."

"Oh? Are you not from this village?" the red hair asked.

"No." Enkidu thought to himself that there are less than a hundred households in this village, and you own a tavern. Can't you tell that I am a foreigner? This is a bit strange.

"Oh, come in then." A smile appeared on the red-haired young man's lips.

Entering the hall, the red-haired man pointed to the west door and said, "There are two vacant rooms there. You can go and stay there. I will get you some wine later."

Enkidu assigned rooms, Xingxiu lived alone in one room, and he and Black Dragon Nightmare shared a room.

After entering the room, Enkidu heard conversations outside, and one of the voices belonged to the red-haired young man.

The noise outside became louder and louder, and they gradually began to argue. Then there was only a muffled groan from someone, and then there was no sound.

Enkidu opened the door and saw the red-haired young man walking over dragging a bag.

"Are you comfortable living there? The house is a little dirty, don't mind." The red-haired young man said hello with a smile, dragging his bag and passed by Enkidu.

"What's in there?" Enkidu asked. He saw that the bag was bulging and very big, big enough to hold a person. This made Enkidu think of it.

"Some miscellaneous garbage." The red-haired young man replied.

"Why don't you throw the garbage outside and move it inside the house instead?" Enkidu asked.

The red-haired young man stopped and said, "I like to collect garbage to a certain extent before throwing it away. Well, it's just a personal habit."

"There can't be dead people inside, right?" Enkidu's ears were very good. He clearly heard the quarrel outside and the last muffled groan. However, due to the sound insulation, no one else heard it.

The corners of the red-haired young man's mouth curved in an arc, "You're so sensitive."

"Can you tell me the reason?" Enkidu asked calmly.

The red-haired man calmly took out a dagger from his pocket, which was still stained with blood.

"I didn't intend to kill you, outlander."

As he spoke, he suddenly rushed towards Enkidu, with a fanatical killing intent in his eyes.

Enkidu didn't wait for the red-haired young man to get close, raised his foot and kicked him to the ground.

"How many people have you killed like this?"

Enkidu looked at the red-haired young man lying on the ground, clutching his chest, and asked calmly.

The red-haired young man said harshly, "How many people you kill, what does it have to do with you?"

"But I just heard you say that you didn't intend to kill me, a foreigner. Do you have any grudges against the locals?" Enkidu asked calmly.

The red-haired young man stood up and clenched the dagger in his hand.

"I want everyone in this village to be buried with my father. Please, don't stop me."

"You want to kill everyone in this village?" Enkidu asked.

"When I was six years old, the whole village went to catch fish in the Ni River. My father had a dispute with the village chief. He was pushed into the water and drowned. No one in the whole village went to save my father. They watched helplessly as my father struggled in the water. , sank.”

The red-haired young man's body trembled and he continued, "The village chief turned around and looked at me with a strange look. I knew that I was my father's son. The village chief had murderous intentions for me. I was afraid. He would step by step." They approached me, and I ran away, far away, and I swore revenge. Sooner or later, this village would pay the price and be buried with my father."

The red-haired young man stared into Enkidu's eyes and raised his voice, "Even after hearing my story, do you still want to stop me? Stop me, a poor man who lost his father at the age of six? Stop my only quest for revenge. A dream?”

"So you hid it for many years. Some time ago, you returned to this village, killed the owner of this tavern, erased the sign of the tavern, hid here, and waited for an opportunity to kill every villager who came to inquire about the tavern. Really?" Enkidu said.

"Yes, that's it. I'm not a murderer. I'm just fulfilling the oath I made when I was a child. I want revenge for my father." The red-haired young man's voice was choked.

"The oath you made when you were young was full of blood and killing. To fulfill such an oath, you may have to pay a high price, even your life. I will not stop you, but I hope you will think carefully about those villagers who refused to save their lives. , maybe they are condemned by their conscience every day, and they feel remorseful, and they will be shrouded in that shadow all their lives. Killing them will actually free them."

The red-haired young man was stunned, as if he was savoring Enkidu's words.

Enkidu turned back to his room and finally said, "If I were you, I would only kill the village chief."

In the room, Black Dragon Nightmare was lying on the bed. When he heard someone coming in, he asked, "Enkidu? What happened outside?"

"It has nothing to do with us." After Enkidu finished speaking, he locked the door from the inside, lay down on another bed, closed his eyes and fell asleep.

Late at night, while Enkidu was sleeping, he vaguely heard shouts of murder coming from outside, so he woke up. He opened the door and walked out of the room, and then witnessed such a scene.

The red-haired young man had a short knife stuck in his belly and neck. He kept retreating, retreated to Enkidu, and then fell down.

He looked desperate and murmured, "Father, I can't."

Died of anger.

Enkidu raised his head and shifted his gaze to the front. The room was crowded with men and women, either holding hoes or real knives.

The leader was a white-haired middle-aged man. When he saw Enkidu, he shouted sharply, "There are other accomplices, chop him up!"

Everyone raised their weapons and attacked Enkidu.

Enkidu took off his long sword and first pierced the chest of the strong man who was charging at him. Then he turned the sword and cut the neck of the woman who was charging next to him.

The artery ruptured, and blood immediately spurted out, splashing onto the faces of the two men who were charging next to them. The two bloody men did not stop charging because they were already very close to Enkidu. They did not hesitate to use the knives in their hands. He slashed at Enkidu.

Enkidu withdrew his sword, held two machetes at the same time, and then swiped the sword quickly. The arms of the two men were immediately severed by the sharp blade. Before they could scream, another sword was struck on their chests. , with a 'plop', the two men fell to the ground, blood soaking the floor.

Enqi attaches great importance to life. He is not the kind of person who regards life as trivial, but he doesn't know why. Once the battle starts and his adrenaline is stimulated, he gets out of control and faces strangers. He can rarely hold back. Once someone forces him to fight, he will kill and kill decisively.

Before the battle began, Enki had never imagined that this would happen.

Before the adrenaline started to secrete, Enqi never thought that there would be several corpses lying in front of him.

Adrenaline triggers instinct. When faced with danger, it speeds up your nervous reaction and also allows your brain to instinctively judge how to kill the danger. The most effective way to kill the danger is to kill the person who is attacking you with a sword. Opposite person.

Fighting is not a joke. Once it starts, it doesn't mean that it will stop if you stop, and it doesn't mean that you will stop if you stop. Fighting is a kind of killing, a kind of disaster, full of blood and violence, and it is a product of darkness.

Where others dared to come forward, five or six people immediately turned around and ran away.

The leader's face was covered with sweat, and he shouted, "Where are we fleeing to? Are we going to give up the village we have lived in for a long time for such a guy? Come on, come on!"

No one came on, and the leader kept shouting, as if it was a one-man show.

Enkidu's sword was still dripping with blood, like a butcher's.

"I don't want to kill you, you have the right to live." Enkidu said.

"What about them? Don't they have any?" A villager shouted, pointing to the four corpses on the ground. He looked sad. Apparently the corpses on the ground were his relatives and friends.

"They gave up the right to live. From the moment they faced me with swords, that was their choice." Enkidu said softly. "So, cherish your life, stay away from here, stay away from me."

The leader grabbed the crossbow and arrows from the waist of others, bent the bow and nocked the arrow, and pointed it at Enkidu, only to hear a 'whoosh' sound.

Enkidu only raised his hand and held the flying arrow in his hand. This kind of shooting speed was nothing to him now.

"Now, even you have given up." Enkidu said softly.

"What?" The sweat on the leader's face became thicker.

"The right to live."

After saying that, Enkidu threw the iron arrow back with all his strength, and the arrow finally entered the chest of the leader.

The leader's eyes widened, holding the arrow pierced in his chest, and then fell down with a 'plop'.

"Run, run!"

"He, he is a devil!"

Everyone yelled and fled one after another. They fled in a panic. No one dared to stay in this room anymore.

Six corpses had been piled up in this room. Enkidu knew that he could no longer live here, and even if he lived there, he would not be safe.

Enkidu noticed that the west door had a crack open, and an eye was observing this side through the crack. That eye belonged to Xing Xiu.

"Let's go," Enkidu said.

Xing Xiu opened the door completely and asked, "Why are you leaving? They don't dare to come back, right?"

"What if they set off smoke or something like that while we were asleep?" Enkidu looked at Xingxiu, his eyes clearly saying, 'I fell under your smoke before'.

"That kind of thing is very expensive. Common people here shouldn't be able to afford it. Besides, I don't think they dare to retaliate against us." Xing Xiu analyzed. "Besides, it's so late, where are you going to spend the night?"

"I'm going to wake up the Black Dragon Nightmare on my way through the night," Enkidu said.

The moonlight hangs in the sky and illuminates the earth.

Enkidu found that no one lived in this village. Even though he said that he would not harm them, it seemed that they did not believe him.

So the three of Enkidu left the village.

The black dragon nightmare was holding a bag in his hand, which contained a lot of beer, and was following Enkidu.

"Go west. There are some tiny footprints on the ground. There must be a crowd in the west. We can explore the headquarters of the Legion of Doom." Enkidu said that after the Black Dragon Nightmare became blind, only Enkidu could take on the task of tracking and finding the way. Although he is not a professional hunter, he has excellent eyesight.

"Are the footprints human?" Black Dragon Nightmare asked.

"Yes, I'm sure." Enkidu said softly.

"Well, that's good." Black Dragon Nightmare nodded and said, "Pay attention to the patterns. Nowadays, the soles of some warlord soldiers are very different from civilians. They have special patterns that can prevent slipping in snowy weather."

"There are some lines." Enkidu looked at the faint footprints carefully and observed some lighter lines.

"In this way, I seem to have seen it too." Xing Xiu interjected.

"Yes, this means that if we go west now, we will most likely encounter a warlord group." Enkidu said. "Let's go."

The three of them headed west until it was already light, and they saw a camp ahead.

The camp has no fences or protection, but is a temporary travel camp composed of hundreds of tents. In the middle of the camp, a bonfire is burning, and several soldiers are chatting and laughing from time to time.
