Chapter 98 Let's get it done!

"Are you from Yanling Village?"

The girl in red, still shaken, raised her head with a dazed look in her eyes.

Dusk has fallen, and the sun is setting.

A group of five people emerged from the mountain path ahead.

They were fully equipped, each with a steady gait and an imposing presence.

The leader was tall and imposing, with deep-set, distinct features and sharp, sword-like eyebrows.

But his eyes, calm and clear as if they contained the moonlight, gave him an incongruous sense of coldness.

Shen Yi's gaze calmly fell on the girl in red, and he spoke softly.

The girl in red had just experienced a terrifying life-or-death moment, her mind filled with panic and fear, her whole body trembling and weak. Now that she had been rescued, she subconsciously looked up.

The newcomer was like a ray of dawn breaking through the gloom, entering her eyes.

Everything around her seemed to have calmed down, and a sense of security welled up with the arrival of the other person, finally relieving her of the suffocating feeling of death.

The moment her eyes met Shen Yi's, the girl in red felt a sudden tightness in her chest, her heart pounding wildly. She quickly lowered her head, her cheeks flushing slightly.

She then realized the other person was talking to her, and quickly looked up, stammering, "Yes, yes—no, I'm not!"

Is it true or not?

Shen Yi ignored her and calmly glanced at the few people who rushed over from the side.

He spotted a familiar figure among the group.

Tang Jing was extremely anxious.

What he just witnessed almost scared him to death.

If something happens to Master Lin's granddaughter, his whole family will probably be ruined!

Fortunately, someone intervened in time and killed the black bear demon that suddenly charged out; otherwise, the consequences would have been unimaginable.

"Qingzhi! Are you alright?"

The group of six quickly surrounded them.

"If anything happens to you, Master will definitely not forgive us!"

A burly woman helped him up with a worried expression. "How are you feeling? Is there anything that's bothering you?"

""

The others were also hurriedly offering their concern and greetings.

"I'm fine."

Under everyone's concerned gaze, the girl in red finally spoke, and they immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

Then, a young man in brocade robes suddenly turned around, glared at Tang Jing, and shouted, "Tang Jing! Didn't you say you were good at hunting demonic beasts? If anything happens to your junior sister, you're dead!"

Tang Jing smiled helplessly.

If you hadn't waited until the black bear demon finished eating the raw meat laced with the sleeping pill, causing the drug to be less effective, this accident wouldn't have happened.

However, these were all wealthy young men from the town, so he didn't dare say anything.

In the eyes of this group, Tang Jing was nothing more than a country bumpkin.

Even though his father was the village leader, he could only serve as their shoe-carryer.

Since Lin Qingzhi was unharmed.

Tang Jing was naturally relieved.

"Shen...Shen Yi?"

He was so busy worrying about Lin Qingzhi's situation that he only had time to notice and rescue the group of people who had helped Lin Qingzhi.

When he saw five familiar faces, his eyes widened and an incredulous smile spread across his face.

He strode forward and asked excitedly, "Why are you here? Have things been settled in your village by now?"

"It's all taken care of. I came here today specifically to—"

Shen Yi nodded, about to speak.

The young man in brocade robes, standing not far away, spoke up impatiently, "Luckily, the people from your village rescued my junior sister in time. Stop dawdling here and hurry up! Let's go down the mountain and go back, lest something unexpected happens before dark!"

Upon hearing this...

Shen Yi frowned and looked at the arrogant young man in the brocade robe.

This person was fair-skinned and clean-cut, clearly not the kind of person who usually worked in the village; he seemed more like a pampered young master.

As far as he knew, Tang Jing was the son of the village chief of Yanling Village, yet someone dared to treat him so arrogantly.

He looked at Tang Jing.

Tang Jing winked at him and shook his head slightly.

"It's getting dark, let's go back to the village first."

"OK.

Shen Yi readily agreed.

It's already evening; they can't just stay outside.

"Take this black bear monster back with you."

Shen Yi gave instructions to Shen Kun and the others behind him.

Immediately, Shen Kun and the others worked together to lift the black bear monster, which weighed over a thousand kilograms, and quickly followed everyone back.

On the way.

Lin Qingzhi's mind was not on the people around her who were fawning over her. Instead, she frequently and cautiously glanced at the people behind her.

To be precise, she kept staring at Shen Yi.

Not long after.

The group had already spotted the camp in Yanling Village and quickened their pace.

"Tang Jing, you little rascal, you finally know to come back. Your father is about to give you a good beating," a middle-aged man at the door called out with a laugh.

Tang Jing's face immediately fell.

"Wow, we even brought back a black bear monster! That's a great haul!"

The middle-aged man's gaze fell on the huge black bear behind him, and he spoke with surprise.

However, he soon discovered that five of the faces among them were unfamiliar.

"Ah Jing, who are these people?"

"From Black Mountain Village," Tang Jing said in a low voice.

"Black Mountain Village? Isn't that already—"

The middle-aged man's expression changed slightly. He moved his lips but didn't continue speaking. He simply gestured to the door and said, "Go in quickly."

Tang Jing nodded and immediately led Shen Yi and the others into the village.

This is a very lively village with a huge population. The houses are built in clusters that seem to stretch as far as the eye can see, branching off into many roads.

Smoke rose from the rooftops, filling a large part of the sky and bringing a lively, bustling atmosphere to the valley.

The village wall was built of stone and wood, and was very thick and sturdy. Many burly young men stood guard at the wall with guns.

It is engraved with spiritual patterns that are completely different from those of Heishan Village.

Looking at the structure and layers of the spirit runes, it was clearly much more advanced than that of their village.

Busy figures could be seen everywhere on the streets of the village.

"This is larger than our previous Heishan Village. Your village must have quite a few people."

"The statistics from a year ago showed 11,246 people."

"Hiss" 6

Upon hearing this number, Guan Yue couldn't help but be taken aback.

This village does indeed have 60-70% more people than their original Heishan Village.

It truly lives up to its reputation as the largest village in this region.

At this time.

The group of wealthy young men who were about to leave suddenly stopped, and then the girl in red walked out from among them and looked at Shen Yi and spoke.

"Thank you for saving me just now. What's your name?"

Shen Yi looked at her in surprise, but he wouldn't go so far as to not even give his name: "Shen Yi".

Lin Qingzhi's face lit up with joy, and she quickly asked, "What kind of reward do you want? I can grant your wish!"

"No need, it's nothing, and besides, we've already obtained a demonic beast."

Shen Yi waved his hand casually.

The arrogant young man in brocade robes behind Lin Qingzhi immediately exclaimed, "Oh right, we haven't talked about this black bear demon beast yet. Shouldn't it be considered ours?"

"Shut up, Chen Fangqi!"

Lin Qingzhi turned around, glared at him fiercely, and coldly rebuked him.

Chen Fangqi immediately shut his mouth, his expression tense and embarrassed.

"He's talking nonsense. This black bear monster has nothing to do with us; it's your spoils of war."

Lin Qingzhi was afraid that Shen Yi would misunderstand, so she quickly explained.

"It's alright, you were frightened too, go back and rest."

Shen Yi shook his head, then looked at Tang Jing, "We have some things we'd like to discuss with your father. Is that convenient?"

"Okay, I'll take you there."

Tang Jing agreed, bid farewell to Lin Qingzhi and the others, and then led Shen Yi to the main hall located in the center of the village.

It's surrounded by a fence, and the area is quite large.

After Shen Yi and his group of five entered, they saw that a large number of people had already gathered there, and they were all dressed in different styles of clothing.

Upon seeing this scene, Tang Jing was stunned and whispered, "People from other villages have arrived."

"From other villages?"

Shen Yi's heart stirred with doubt.

"Are people from so many villages coming to your Yanling Village at the same time?"

"It's about the Blackwater Swamp."

Tang Jing looked at him with complicated emotions. "We were originally planning to ask your Black Mountain Village to come and help, but—something happened in your village, resulting in heavy casualties. There are only a few dozen people left, so we didn't go to you."

What's going on with the Blackwater Swamp?

Shen Yi noticed the place he was referring to.

Tang Jing said gravely, "The monsters in the Blackwater Swamp have become quite powerful. The situation is getting worse recently. If we don't deal with it soon, I'm afraid several villages around us will suffer."

"I remember the monsters in the Blackwater Swamp before were just first-tier monsters like the Leaf Monster and the Swamp Monster, right?"

.

Mo Guanhai said at this moment.

He did know a bit about the Blackwater Swamp.

"Yes, but I heard from my dad and the others that several second-tier monsters have appeared inside, and it is said that the Leaf Monster has also advanced and its abilities have become extremely terrifying."

As Tang Jing spoke, he arrived at the entrance of the main house. He then said, "I'll go in and tell my father first. Please wait a moment."

Shen Yi nodded slightly.

The other person immediately went inside.

"Brother, something seems wrong. Even Yanling Village has to seek help from other villages. This place is probably much more dangerous than we thought."

Shen Kun spoke to him calmly.

The five of them came here to obtain Yin Soul Wood. If they could find some other spirit materials to help their elder brother craft something, that would be even better.

But now it seems that their plans are likely to be thwarted.

Shen Yi remained silent, deep in thought.

If there are really that many second-tier spirits in this place, with his current creations, he would probably only be able to deal with them by using the Spirit Fiend Arrow.

However, he only had one Spirit Arrow in his hand.

Moreover, he currently has very little Yin Soul Wood left, only 1874.

Even the wooden puppet soldiers couldn't be upgraded to level 5, so they had to continue using them as is.

To forge another Spirit Arrow, we need more than 2,600 pieces of Yin Soul Wood, plus a portion of spiritual essence blood!

"We can only see if Rock Ridge Village has a tradition of collecting Soul Wood —"

Shen Yi quickly thought of a solution.

Just then, a group of people walked in from outside.

They were all broad-shouldered and burly, with waists as thick as barrels, dressed in animal skins, and exuding vigorous vitality.

The leader, in particular, exerted an indescribable pressure on Shen Yi and his group of five.

A villager from Yanling Village who was leading the way quickly went inside the house.

"This person—is a martial artist who has broken through the shackles of the Qi and Blood Realm!" Mo Guanhai's expression turned slightly stern as he whispered in his ear.

"Which village is this?"

"I don't know, I've never seen it before."

They were talking in secret.

A group of people hurriedly came out of the big house.

"Village Chief Tang! It's been so long!"

"Hahaha! Village Chief Zhao, you've finally arrived! Come in quickly, let's talk inside, we've prepared some good wine and food!"

Among the group of people in the big house, the leader was a middle-aged man of similarly robust build.

Tang Jing, who was standing beside him, gave Shen Yi a helpless look.

They chatted familiarly among themselves, creating a lively and boisterous atmosphere.

"Alright, we've been traveling for several hours and we're definitely hungry. Let's go in, eat, and chat!"

"Let's go, let's go inside."

Tang Qiang greeted them warmly, then suddenly remembered something. He immediately looked at where Shen Yi and the others were and waved, saying with a smile, "Uncle Guanhai, these must be people from your Black Mountain Village. Come in and have a meal with us."

"From Black Mountain Village?"

The robust, vigorous man looked over upon hearing this and pondered, "Didn't they say something happened in Black Mountain recently? These people—"

"Something has happened. The current village chief is Shen Yi."

Mo Guanhai said with a smile.

Shen Yi was not intimidated and smiled, "I have met several of you before."

The burly man sized up the boy, a strange glint in his eyes.

At such a young age, how can one have such refined and concentrated Qi and blood?

He looks even better than his son.

The burly man then laughed and said, "Alright! So it's Village Chief Shen. Please go first!"

Shen Yi naturally didn't foolishly go in first, but declined with the others and went into the main room together.

Several banquet tables had already been set up inside.

Everyone took their seats.

Shen Yi was pulled to sit at the main table by Tang Qiang, while the others sat at another table.

"Let everyone get to know each other. This is Shen Yi, the new village chief of Heishan Village."

Tang Qiang began to explain.

"Village Chief Shen, let me introduce you. This is Liu Yan, the village chief of Liulin Village."

A short, overweight middle-aged man standing next to him, who was only 1.8 meters tall, nodded.

"This is Niu Jun, the village chief of Niuling Village; this is Zhao Hai, the village chief of Zhaojia Village; Huang Han, the village chief of Tantou Village; Gao Qu, the village chief of Gaoshi Village; and Li Jun, the village chief of Pucao Village—"

There are eight people at the main table.

After learning their names and villages, Shen Yi nodded to each of them, but couldn't help but feel surprised.

This includes three villages: Tantou Village, Gaoshi Village, and Pucao Village, which are not recorded on the map of their Heishan Village.

"By now, everyone should know about the Blackwater Swamp incident. This is a matter of utmost urgency and must be resolved as soon as possible."

"Does anyone have any ideas on how to resolve the Blackwater Swamp issue?"

"What's there to say? Just do it!"

Gao Qu, the village chief of Gaoshi Village, slammed his fist on the table and shouted in a booming voice.
