I became a newbie village BOSS

Chapter 120
Lin Yun went all the way.

Follow the traces and breath left by the plague demon.

At the beginning, these remaining traces were still very obvious.

But as the distance gets farther and farther away.

This breath gradually faded, and the traces gradually disappeared.

Lin Yun searched for dozens of miles.

I have been chasing the sunset to the west, and entered the dusk.

When I came to a fork in the forest.

The aura of the pestilent demon had already dissipated to the point where only a trace remained, and it was impossible to accurately judge its movement.

Lin Yun slowed down and began to search carefully.

It is hoped that the traces of the plague demon can be found again.

But after searching for a while, there was still no clue.

Lin Yun shook his head.

It seems that it is still a step late.

He began to walk back, hoping to find useful information on the previous road.

This mountain path is very secluded.

Not to mention human shadows, even birds and beasts are hard to detect.

He walked and watched.

Sudden.

On his side, there was a movement.

There was a "srust".

A figure flew out like flying.

A sharp and cold weapon hit his back directly.

Lin Yun quickly reacted, and with a "squeak", the long knife came out of its sheath and blocked the blow.

"Ding clang"

The blades collided, and in an instant, the opponent's broadsword flew out.

Followed by.

Lin Yun swung the knife horizontally and struck towards the opponent's throat, and stopped when he was less than five centimeters away.

"who are you?"

Lin Yun saw the appearance of the other party clearly, he was a young man in ragged clothes.

This person looks simple and honest, and his hand is still holding the knife at this moment.

Under the duel, he was shaken by the powerful force, and blood oozed from the tiger's mouth.

"You...you can talk, aren't you a virtual ghost?!"

The young man panicked, with a surprised expression on his face.

Lin Yun looked at him a few times and said:
"Of course not, who are you? Why did you sneak up on me?"

Hearing this, the young man's face changed a little, he was a little embarrassed.

Apologetically, he said, "Yes... I'm sorry, I took you for a ghost, I... I'm from a nearby village."

Lin Yun frowned: "Why do you think I'm a ghost?...Even if I am a ghost, with your skills, you shouldn't be a ghost's opponent, right?"

Lin Yun originally wanted to ask if he would be so reckless to regard a living person as a ghost.

But when I think about covering up my appearance, it is understandable to be admitted as a mistake.

However, with this young man's strength, he shouldn't be Xu Gui's opponent.

The realm of this young man is only around the fifth level of body tempering.

Could it be that this virtual ghost also has low strength?
The young man said: "Because your Excellency covered up your appearance, I didn't judge it for a while. I'm really sorry...I've been killing ghosts here for a while."

"Oh, really?"

Lin Yun had some doubts: "Can you deal with ghosts?"

The young man nodded: "There are some ghosts and monsters that have just been refined not long ago, and their strength is not strong. I can still deal with them...the strong ones can't..."

"I see."

The young man said: "I don't know who you are, why you came here? Our area has been destroyed by the plague and evil spirits, and there are not many living people left. If you don't have any important matters, you should not It's better to walk around here, so as not to be infected with the plague and encounter demons..."

Listening to this person's narration, Lin Yun probably understood what was going on.

This person is the resident here, the one who survived.

Lin Yundao: "I'm from the demon-killing team..."

Lin Yun briefly explained his identity to him.

After the young man learned of Lin Yun's identity, his expression was very excited, and his figure couldn't help trembling.

"Are you from the Demon Slayer team?!"

His legs softened, and there was a "plop", and he couldn't help but kneel down.

There was mist in his eyes, and he cried, "Finally someone came to help us...do you know what happened here?"

The young man was very excited and began to tell his experience:
"Because I have some martial arts, a year ago, I was fortunate enough to join the Iron Salt Gang hundreds of miles away and help them do things. After more than a year, I just returned to my hometown. Before that... I wrote to my family Said that I would come back, and my family replied happily, saying that they would make good preparations for me, but half a month later, when I returned here, the plague was already everywhere.

I hurried back to the village, only to find that there were dead people everywhere in the village. The scene was shocking. I hurried back home. Several people in my family died of the plague...I collapsed on the spot, crying bitterly. After a day and a night, Only then did I recover... I began to search the village, and finally found a few villagers who were seriously ill and survived, and tried my best to help them survive.

...and after a few days, I found that things are not that simple.

Once, when collecting medicine in the mountains, I saw a village invaded by several ugly and deformed monsters.

These strange people brutally captured those who were seriously ill and survived in the village, and they didn't know where to take them.

I had doubts, and when a strange person was alone, I severely injured and subdued him. After some inquiries, it turned out that there was a plague demon. People are trained to become virtual ghosts and let the plague demons devour them, thus making the plague demons stronger...

Knowing that there was an evil spirit at work, I immediately went back to the village, took the villagers away, and hid in a safer place...

And recently, there are some virtual ghosts and monsters appearing frequently in the surrounding area. I was worried about the safety of my fellow villagers, and I couldn't help but want revenge, so I hid in the forest and ambushed..."

"Smelting evil?"

After listening to the other party's narration, Lin Yun probably understood what was going on.

I also know why, he is a five-level body tempering warrior, and he dares to attack and kill Xu Gui here.

Because those virtual ghosts refined by ordinary people are not very powerful.

The secret in this seems to be different from what he thought, this plague demon actually enslaves others to help it become stronger.

interesting.

Those virtual ghosts before should also be the product of refining, but they should have practiced for a long time, and they have been refined with some powerful warriors, so they have such strength.

Lin Yun really did not expect this situation.

Asked: "Do you know any other information? For example, the number, realm, strength, etc. of demons."

The young man said: "I don't know much about other situations, because this plague has already happened before I came back... However, the most powerful evil thing is the 'Plague Devil' that spreads the plague, but I have never I have seen the 'Plague Demon'..."

"Ah."

Lin Yun nodded.

The young man said again: "If you want to know other news, you can go and see the survivors nearby. Some of them have seen the situation when the plague demon entered the village. They should be able to tell you more information."

"Is that so..." Lin Yun glanced at the sky, "Where are they?"

The young man said, "It's a few miles away from here."

"Okay then, I'll go with you."

Lin Yun wanted to know more about the Plague Demon, so he might as well take this trip.

The young man nodded, went to retrieve the knife he had dropped, and then led Lin Yun towards a small path.

This location is very private.

After making several detours, the two passed through a narrow wall, and after walking for a while, the field of vision widened.

This reminded Lin Yun of Taoyuan, but the dilapidated scene here cannot be compared with Taoyuan at all.

Inside is a large and empty cave, where some living utensils and several thatched huts are placed.

I saw a stranger come in.

It caught the attention of everyone inside.

The young man immediately explained Lin Yun's identity and origin.

For a while, the villagers were very excited.

In the following time, Lin Yun asked about related matters.

I probably understand what's going on.

Someone witnessed what happened.

The plague demon he depicted was similar to what Lin Yun had dealt with before.

After some narration by the villagers.

Lin Yun got the information he wanted and wanted to leave.

At this time, a little girl came over, and she took out a piece of dirty pastry and handed it to Lin Yun.

"Big brother, you must be hungry after working so hard to eliminate demons... My favorite rice cake, I'll give it to you to eat on the way..."

Lin Yun glanced at the little girl, who also had wisps of black air on her body, smiled lightly, and took the thing.

A trembling old lady also came to Lin Yun, clasped her hands together, shook her head, and kept praying: "The gods bless you, the gods bless you..."

Seeing this situation, Lin Yun couldn't help being touched.

The impact of this plague on ordinary people is really disastrous.

……

Lin Yun left this place.

It's going to be night.

For the time being, the plague demon could not be found, and it was getting dark.

He had to give up the pursuit for the time being.

Return in the original direction.

Walked for a while.

When he returned to the vicinity of the previous mountain forest, he met the three members of Lingxi Sect and several other demon fighters.

"Have you found the Plague Demon?"

"No."

……

Lin Yun briefly exchanged information with them.

"It's getting so late... Let's track it down tomorrow. The plague demon has been severely injured and should be hiding."

"Well... goodbye."

This journey failed to get rid of the plague demon.

Everyone made an appointment, and they will continue organizing the demon slaying tomorrow.
