Beast Soul Legend
Chapter 3 Bandit Blackmail
Among these villagers, there are also some people whose faces are full of sadness.The family members of those soul hunters who should have gone to the Yalda Valley this time.Naturally, because of their deaths, the spirit beast spirits they got this time were also extremely bleak.
In front of the villagers were three middle-aged men holding weapons, and their knives and axes were all inlaid with an ordinary-looking stone.Ling Yu recognized them, and the one with the knife was Wu Yong, the captain of the village's soul hunting team.The two with axes were also members of the Soul Hunting Team, Zhang Mingyuan and Guo Yinan.
The three of them are the strongest in the village, and they are also the three who only have Horcruxes except Ling Yu.At this time, they each held weapons and looked at the bandits in front of them vigilantly.They don't need to fight with bandits, they just try their best to protect the safety of the villagers.
The village head is an old man with white hair. Because of his good relationship with Ling Qingsheng, he has often visited Ling Yu's house in recent years.Ling Yu recognized him, and felt that the village chief was also a kind and kind person.
At this time, as the village head, he had to come forward.
"Ma Dawang, this time our village's soul hunting team going to the Yalda Valley was attacked by the Black Ridge Tiger. Eight team members in our village have died, so... what we got this time is not the spirit of the spirit beast. A lot." The old village chief's face turned pale, facing the murderous bandits, he said he was not afraid, that was a lie.
Maybe in the blink of an eye, he would die under the knife of Ma Yun.
"Oh~" Ma Yun pretended to understand and nodded: "But this is none of my business. According to the rules over the years, handing in ten spirit beast spirits can also keep your village safe for a year. .”
It seems to be ten, but in the market, one can buy ten thousand gold coins for one first-order spirit beast essence.Ten souls of spirit beasts are the annual expenses of their village.Moreover, the spirit beast spirits they captured this time were only twelve.
"Ma Dawang, can you be more flexible? We didn't capture many spirit beasts this time, can we have a little less..."
"No." Ma Yun resolutely rejected the village chief's proposal, raised the bend in his hand and smiled: "It's okay to have less. If you have one less, you will exchange the lives of ten people in your village. Ten, it's okay." Not many, I just wonder if there are a hundred people in Chengyang Village who want to die so quickly?"
"One hundred people..." Although Ling Yu was a killer in his previous life, his cold-blooded nature has not changed much in this world.However, when he heard that Ma Yun easily said that he had killed 100 people, he couldn't help being moved.
He frowned slightly, and roughly estimated that there were only more than 500 people in Chengyang Village, and it was absolutely impossible to send one-fifth of them to him for slaughter at once.
For the village chief, it is impossible to kill one person, let alone a hundred villagers.Finally, the village chief gritted his teeth: "Okay! Zhang Shuquan, go get ten spirit beast spirits and give them to King Ma."
"Hey, that's right. When I come next year, I don't want to hear so much nonsense anymore." Ma Yun took the ten spherical crystals from Zhang Shuquan's hand, and put them all into the cloth belt beside him.And from the heavy cloth belt, it can be seen that there must be a lot of looted spirit beast spirits in it.
The spherical crystals are as big as a thumb, and they glow with different lights.This is also the first time Ling Yu saw the appearance of the spirit beast spirit.
"Brothers, let's go." Ma Yun pulled the reins, and left the village entrance with the big bandit who was tens of meters behind him, and gradually disappeared on the mountain road.
Ling Yu also felt that the world was really chaotic.
Strength may really mean everything in this world.If there was a person with the same strength as Ma Yun in Chengyang Village, maybe he wouldn't be bullied like this.
This time, not only did Chengyang Village go to the Yalta Valley with heavy losses, but only two spirit beast spirits were lost in the end.In this case, in the next year, Chengyang Village will have to save money and eat.
There is sadness on every villager's face.Having just experienced misfortune and being blackmailed by thieves, you will naturally feel uncomfortable.But for the lower classes of their empire, this kind of loss can only be eaten, suffered, and then forgotten.
See the villagers who are gradually dispersing.Ling Yu didn't feel sorry for these misfortunes. He lived in the village for two years, and he could only say that he had stayed in Ling Qingsheng's hut for two years. He hadn't fully integrated himself into the village yet. For the surrounding villagers, he did not regard it as a part of his life.
Some are just sympathetic.
"Your name is Ling Yu?" Suddenly, a little boy who looked older than Ling Yu stopped his way.And Ling Yu was also very strange, would anyone in this village know him?Looking at the little boy with a tiger head and a tiger head, his dark face seemed to be angry at what happened just now.
The little boy was about seven or eight years old, stopped Ling Yu and said: "My name is Zhang Feng, do you have a Horcrux?"
Ling Yu looked at the beast soul ring in his hand, it turned out that even seven or eight-year-old children know Horcruxes here.He nodded to Zhang Feng.I don't even know what this peak is going to do.
"That's great..." When the little boy Zhang Feng saw the ring in Ling Yu's hand with his own eyes, his face was full of envy.Perhaps in the bottom of their hearts, everyone longs to have a Horcrux of their own, especially these newborn calves, who have the ambition to defend the world and the pride of overriding everything.
Perhaps, this lofty ambition will slowly disappear with age.Recalling his previous life, Ling Yu didn't have such thoughts when he was a child.It just turned into a killing tool in the end, a killer without any human emotions.
Ling Yu waited for Zhang Feng's words when he came back to his senses.Just for a moment, that Zhang Feng patted Ling Yu's shoulder and said: "Since you have a Horcrux, you should practice with us."
"And then?" Ling Yu was amused, but he had to pretend to be the same size as these children.Accompany them to fantasize about the sweet dream of saving the world.And what Zhang Feng said was not what Ling Yu expected.
"Then, when we grow up, we will defend the village, protect the folks, and defeat bandits."
"Oh..." Apart from nodding, Ling Yu couldn't think of any words to perfuse this innocent child.If they can defend the village by their own practice, why is the village still oppressed by bandits after decades.In other words, only when a miracle occurs in their village can they say such words as defeating bandits.
If you're lucky, even if you capture twenty spirit beast spirits every year, you still have to hand over ten to the bandits to keep them safe.If the remaining ten coins were exchanged for [-] gold coins, they would only be able to cover the village's expenses for a year.Next, how do they still have the financial resources to hire a soul master to make them Horcruxes?Even if there is, the spirit beast soul element they provide is only one or two levels.
Compared with those strong outsiders, they are too weak and too weak.Not worth mentioning at all.Ling Yu just heard that the soul element on the Ma Yun scimitar Horcrux was owned by a fourth-order spirit beast.
Just one fourth-order spirit beast, the Black Ridge Tiger, cost half of the village's soul hunting team.Not to mention capturing it and getting its soul element.Therefore, from the very beginning of cultivation, the people in the village were many levels lower than that bandit.
Just when Ling Yu wanted to leave, Li Feng said: "If you are a man, you can practice with us!"
At this time, behind Li Feng, many boys of the same size as him gradually came.Everyone looked enviously at the beast soul ring in Ling Yu's hand.
"Ling Yu, you will definitely be one of the best men in our village in the future. If you don't practice with us, you will be too sorry for your Horcrux." A little boy who came over also said.
"Yes, yes." The little boys around had gradually surrounded Ling Yu, with pleading and affirmation in their eyes, it seemed that Ling Yu had to agree today.The humiliation received in the village was nothing short of humiliating to these children.Ling Yu, who owns the Horcrux, is an indispensable talent in their group of village guards.
Ling Yu smiled wryly in his heart, but thought that maybe he was not alone in this village.He remembered what the girl Sun Xin told him in his previous life. 'Why live in a cold world, as long as everyone is willing to find out, life is actually beautiful.It depends on whether you want to accept it or not. '"Okay." Ling Yu nodded.Seeing the excitement of these boys, he raised the corner of his mouth slightly.In fact, there is no such thing as cold, but the lack of heat.
Since there are so many calories around me, why should I reject others for thousands of miles?Maybe teaching this group of children some fighting skills will really be of some use to them in the future.
"Ling Yu, we will go to your house to find you tomorrow, and let me teach you how to practice!" Zhang Feng smiled at Ling Yu.
And Ling Yu just nodded, and walked towards the house again.He really wanted to know how these children cultivated.It should be of great help to him to understand the cultivation of this world.
But the facts let him down.On the second day, Ling Yu was taken by the group of children to a forest some distance from the village.There, Zhang Feng immediately showed the appearance of a strict master, pointing to a willow tree that is not thick and yelling at Ling Yu: "Ling Yu, punch here."
"Ah?" Ling Yu was a little puzzled.Could it be that cultivation means hitting this willow tree?
"Don't grind the machine, hit it." Zhang Feng shouted again.Immediately afterwards, the other ten children also found the willow tree where they practiced and waved their fists.The willow tree didn't move, but their faces showed pain.
Perhaps, these children are also very hardworking in order to be able to defend the village, even though their fists are already a little bit broken.Under Zhang Feng's 'strict' supervision, Ling Yu had no choice but to punch the willow tree.
The willow tree moved, although it was only a slight shake, but compared to the group of children, the power he exerted was undoubtedly the greatest.In fact, Ling Yu knew in his heart that he only used [-]% of his strength in punching this time.
In front of the villagers were three middle-aged men holding weapons, and their knives and axes were all inlaid with an ordinary-looking stone.Ling Yu recognized them, and the one with the knife was Wu Yong, the captain of the village's soul hunting team.The two with axes were also members of the Soul Hunting Team, Zhang Mingyuan and Guo Yinan.
