Chapter 53
Entangled
Liu Yu was puzzled.
"I didn't do anything special today. I shouldn't have so many bruises from fighting Ironback Wolves."
"Well, sigh, what a terrible day. We ran into a pack of Ironback Wolves. If we hadn't outnumbered them, we probably would have been done for."
The two were still shaken by what had happened that day.
"Fortunately, the people from Yanling Village are here. One of those Iron-Spine Wolves is actually close to a second-tier demon beast. But speaking of which, Liu Dachuan from Yanling Village was able to block the Iron-Spine Wolf's spitting blade. His strength is not simple."
"That's right, traveling between two villages, who wouldn't bring some capable men with them?"
Liu Feng muttered to himself, "A lot of wildebeests were transported this time, but only eighteen have been brought back so far. Originally, we were supposed to get nine, but now we can only get five."
"Five wildebeests are quite good. We can raise them and start a breeding business. In the future, we can find a way to make money just by raising wildebeests!"
As they spoke, expectant smiles appeared on their faces.
Moreover, the people of Yanling Village are kind-hearted and willing to provide some assistance to Heishan Village.
"What are you talking about?"
Liao Ning and the others walked out of the council chamber and saw the two of them, so they asked.
"It's nothing. Aning, how did your chat go?"
"We will give the victim's family 600 kilograms of raw meat and 900 kilograms of fruits and vegetables as compensation, hoping that they can calm down as soon as possible."
Tang Jing's tone was heavy.
He never imagined that his actions would lead to the deaths of thirteen people, and now he feels deeply guilty.
Such generous compensation?
Liu Yu and Liu Feng were taken aback, secretly marveling at how generous Yanling Village was.
"Fortunately, the Ironback Wolf King didn't attack immediately today, otherwise our casualties would have been even greater," Tang Jing sighed.
Liao Ning's eyes were filled with complex emotions. She felt extremely guilty as she recalled the scene of her aunts surrounding her, crying and questioning her.
As expected, this matter will not be so easy.
If it weren't for these black wildebeest, so many of them wouldn't have died.
However, given that black wildebeest are a precious resource, she did not regret the adventure of capturing them.
Now that so many people have joined her camp, if she is as timid and hesitant as the Shen siblings, how can she lead everyone to find a better way out?
Liao Ning firmly believes that she made the right decision.
This time, however, an unexpected event occurred.
"It's getting dark, so we'll head back to rest now. We'll be leaving Black Mountain Village early tomorrow morning. We hope you can provide manpower to help us transport the black horned horses back. Once it's done, our Rock Ridge Village will reward you handsomely."
"Our Black Mountain Village will help. We are already very grateful to have received five black horned horses, and we don't need any reward."
Liao Ning said politely.
Tao Jing smiled and started walking away.
Everyone left together, but Liu Yu felt his steps growing heavier and heavier, and he felt increasingly sleepy.
Everything went black before my eyes.
He thought he was back inside the house and lay down peacefully.
But soon, a sinister laugh reached his ears.
"who!?"
Liu Yu was startled and looked up to see a figure standing in front of him, but he couldn't make out the figure's face.
He walked slowly, muttering to himself:
"My friend, do I look more like a human or a deity?"
Liu Yu strained to open his eyes wide, and his blurry vision finally cleared.
The moment he saw the figure clearly, his head jolted, and his scalp tingled with fear!
The other person's limbs were stiff, but he had Lin Hui's mask on his head, and an unnatural smile appeared on his face.
"ah!!!!"
The 'person' pressed on, saying, 'Brother, tell me, do I look like a human being? Hehe—'
"I...I...I..."
Liu Yu stammered for a long time, his whole body enveloped in fear, unable to utter a single word.
Just as he was about to say "like a human being".
Bang! ! !
A heavy blow rang out.
Liu Yu felt a sharp pain in his chest, as if he had been hit by a wild bull, and his body flew backward, landing on his back.
It was thanks to this collision that he regained consciousness from the darkness.
"ah--"
Unwilling to let his prey escape, in the instant Liu Yu regained consciousness, a venomous and resentful scream came from 'Uncle Lin Hui's' mouth, almost piercing his eardrums!
Liu Yu's eyes widened suddenly, his clothes soaked with cold sweat. He looked at the people who rushed over, his eyes filled with terror, and kept shouting:
"I saw Uncle Lin Hui! I saw Uncle Lin Hui!!"
Everyone's expression turned serious.
"Lin Hui... is he the owner of the kettle you found in the mountains today?" Tang Jing looked up at Liao Ning and asked.
"Yes, what's wrong?"
"This is troublesome."
Liu Dachuan withdrew his blood-stained hand that had been slapping Liu Yu away, his voice low and deep, "I've been through similar incidents. This is probably a weasel coming to demand an official title and has entangled itself with Liu Yu."
"What?"
Everyone was shocked.
Liu Dachuan looked at Liu Yu, "Do you feel anything unusual?"
Upon hearing this, Liu Yu turned pale and shakily rolled up his sleeves. His arms were now covered in bruises and swollen.
It's like they've discovered something.
With trembling hands, he pulled a clump of foul-smelling, filthy hair from inside his sleeve.
He looked terrified.
"I... I threw all this hair away today, so how did it end up on me?"
Liao Ning realized the situation was serious and hurriedly asked, "Do you have any way to solve this?"
"This weasel is not in human form and its strength should only be at the first level. If there is only one, we can handle it."
Liu Dachuan frowned.
"But—I'm afraid it might be a nest of weasels coming."
"Liu Yu has been entangled by it. Once night falls, it will definitely come looking for him."
He glanced at the already darkening sky.
It's almost dark now.
Liu Yu pleaded desperately, "Please, please save me! I don't want to die!"
Tang Jing's expression shifted slightly, only to see Qin Lie shake his head at him.
But looking at Liu Yu's appearance, he couldn't bear it and said:
"Let's give it a try. Even if a whole nest of weasels comes, with the five of us here, it shouldn't be too difficult to deal with them."
"Thank you so much, I will definitely repay you!" Liu Yu said excitedly.
"Quickly, it's getting dark, go back inside!"
Night quietly fell.
Tang Jing immediately instructed the two men to help Liu Yu into a room, where a group of people gathered together, waiting for the arrival of the weasel.
……
"Brother, the wooden dummy is really powerful. I feel that if this continues, it won't be long before I break through to the fourth level of the Qi and Blood Realm again."
After resting for an hour, everyone's bodies had almost recovered.
After enjoying a pot of hot monster meat, the four of them resumed their training on the wooden dummy.
Shen Kun felt that the speed of his blood and qi tempering was extremely fast, as if he could see the fourth level of the blood and qi realm beckoning to him.
"Get some rest, and continue tomorrow. Strive for a breakthrough as soon as possible."
Shen Yi gave an encouraging smile.
The stronger you are, the more work you can take on.
When he has trained three superhumans to farm and harvest vegetables for him, he can be completely free of his hands.
Just thinking about it makes me happy.
"ah!!!"
Just as they were about to go back inside to rest, a series of agonizing screams came from the south of the village.
The four exchanged a glance, their expressions turning serious.
problem occurs!
