Chapter 23: Demons attacking the village

"Demons are attacking the village!"

Li Xiang's brows furrowed together!

How could it be demons attacking the village?!

He knew this plot.

This was a plot point that might be triggered with a very small, very small probability in the game.

There was a reclusive demon cultivator in Heifeng Mountain who was seriously injured.

His injuries were extremely serious, and most of the time, he was in a dormant state, recuperating with the turtle-breathing method.

Only with a very small probability could he wake up!

Li Xiang hadn't encountered this plot point when he played the game.

It was only when he saw the posts sent by those great gods on the internet that he knew that sometimes the village start would encounter a plot where a demon cultivator wakes up and plans to slaughter the village.

This demon cultivator's injuries were extremely serious, and in order to restore his magic power, he would choose to slaughter a village near Heifeng Mountain.

Using evil arts to sacrifice the villagers to restore his cultivation.

In order to avoid being tracked by the people of the Great Liang Demon Slaying Division, this guy would choose to enslave some demons and wild beasts nearby for his own use.

By attacking the village with demons, he would cover up his own behavior.

The probability of this happening was very low; it was only possible to encounter it once in tens of thousands of village starts.

But unfortunately, Li Xiang had encountered it now.

The Town Demon Bell rang three times, demons attacking the village!

The beast tide led by demons would submerge the entire village.

Yun Xiu covered her mouth with her hand in surprise.

"Quick! Quick, go to the center of the village!"

She pulled Li Xiang's hand in panic and rushed toward the center of the village.

That was the location of the Town Demon Bell, the safest place.

Center of the village.

Inside the red ancestral hall, a huge bronze bell was shaking gently at this moment.

Circles of pale yellow ripples took this as a boundary and spread toward the surroundings, covering the entire village.

This was the Town Demon Bell of Shihe Village, a treasure that suppressed the Human Dao Luck.

At this moment, the demons were attacking the village, and the Town Demon Bell had been triggered, protecting the entire village within it.

At the same time, it connected to the Human Dao Dharma Net, sending the news of Shihe Village's distress to the county town.

This bell must not be used unless the village is in a life-and-death situation!

This was the foundation for the entire village to survive in the Great Wilderness!

In the center of the village, dozens of women had already gathered outside the ancestral hall.

There were also some children and old people, all looking at the outskirts of the village with worry outside the ancestral hall.

Looking around, all that was left in the village were women, children, the old, the weak, the sick, and the disabled; he couldn't see a single strong man.

At this moment, demons were attacking the village, which was dangerous to the extreme.

The outskirts of the village were a fence made of bamboo, usually used to fend off some wild boars, jackals, and wolves.

But at this moment, outside the bamboo wall, hundreds of wild beasts had appeared densely.

Jackals, wild boars, black leopards...

There were hundreds of them, scattered, surrounding the entire village.

A spirited black leopard stood in front of the beast group, looking coldly at Shihe Village.

This guy's eyes were bright, and it was clearly a demon that had opened its wisdom, not a mortal thing.

The Town Demon Bell rang, and the pale yellow ripples wrapped the village like a ring.

The demons seemed extremely wary and did not approach.

"Fortunately! With the Town Demon Bell here, the demons dare not come in!"

"The Town Demon Bell should be able to hold on for at least two days, enough for the people from the Demon Slaying Division to arrive!"

A villager spoke, analyzing the current situation.

The black leopard looked coldly at Shihe Village and did not order an attack, as if it were waiting for something.

After a cup of tea's time, a faint black mist appeared behind the beast group, covering Shihe Village.

The black mist covered Shihe Village at a slow speed. When the ripples triggered by the Town Demon Bell encountered the black mist, they actually made a sizzling sound and then quickly disappeared, as if they had been annihilated by the black mist.

"This is!"

"This is the divine ability of a demon!"

"They actually broke the restriction of the Town Demon Bell!"

The black mist advanced, and the beast group also began to move slowly...

In an instant, the people in the village exploded!

Demons attacking the village, and all the men in the village were not there, this!

Behind Shihe Village was a cliff, on the left and right sides were dense forests, and only the front was an official road.

There was no way on the cliff, and if they entered the dense forest, they would probably die faster. The only way out was blocked by the beast group at this moment.

"Ah! Help!"

"I'll fight them with a sickle!"

Several village women shouted in fear, seeming extremely terrified.

Someone even rushed out emotionally and pointed at Yun Xiu's nose to scold her.

"It's all you! Your whole family are disasters!"

"If it weren't to save your Lao San, the village chief wouldn't have taken away all the men in the village."

"It's you, you are a disaster, you cursed your father and mother to death!"

"Your son is also a disaster, pregnant for ten years, gave birth to a monster..."

Before she could finish speaking.

Slap!

A loud sound rang out.

Yun Xiu slapped her hard, one hand protecting Li Xiang behind her, her eyes staring fixedly at the other party, completely gone was her usual gentleness.

Seeing Yun Xiu actually hit her, the woman went crazy and prepared to rush up.

This was the wife of a hunter, who had a grudge with the Li family and had seen blood, and had always been at odds.

Just when the situation was about to get out of control.

"Silence!"

"Disaster is imminent and you are still arguing, what does this look like!"

In front of the ancestral hall, a lean old man scolded.

This was a clan elder who had served as village chief for ten years and had retired due to old age and weakness.

But his remaining prestige was still there!

With one scolding, the noisy crowd suddenly quieted down.

"Everyone, immediately send the children into the ancestral hall."

"Then the rest who can move, take the sickles for cutting wheat from home, and prepare to meet the enemy!"

"Quick! Quick! Quick!"

"Hold on until before dark, and that kid Zhang Wu will be able to bring people back!"

"Those who don't want to die, prepare quickly!"

The old village chief spoke, and he still had a lot of prestige.

The village women, who had been in a mess just now, began to move.

All the children were sent into the ancestral hall, in the place closest to the Town Demon Bell.

Not long after, a group of fierce women holding sickles and axes could be seen forming a circle outside the ancestral hall.

And at the very front, the village chief, who was already nearly fifty years old and whose blood and Qi were declining, was holding a large iron-cast knife, looking coldly at the beast group that was approaching.

The black mist was not advancing fast, but it was not slow either.

In this short while, it was already about to wrap around.

"Everyone, keep your eyes wide open in a moment!"

"This is just a group of beasts on the mountain. Can humans really be eaten by beasts?!"

"Hold on until night, and everyone can live!"

"Whoever I see dealing with private grudges at this time, don't blame me for being impolite in the future!"

The old village chief roared in a low voice.

Blood and Qi surged on his body, and blood vessels like coiled dragons swirled on his thin body.

This guy seemed to be a person who had entered the ranks back then.

It was just that his blood and Qi were declining, and he was not as good as before. Now he was forcing a breath to meet the enemy, and he was probably not going to live for a few more days.

Inside the ancestral hall, Li Xiang looked at Yun Xiu outside with some worry.

Quietly avoiding the other children in the ancestral hall, Li Xiang came to the corner.

His thoughts moved.

A bright red kasaya slowly emerged from the air.

【You have successfully equipped the Mysterious Grade Spirit Treasure: Brocade Kasaya】

【You have gained a boost in blood and Qi!】
