Chapter 234: Ignoring Her!
Translator: 549690339
With the disaster averted, Ji Ruo stopped fooling around and followed everyone to save the villagers.
This disaster came out of nowhere. Fortunately, it was resolved in time. The villagers only suffered some minor injuries, and the children were all unharmed.
In other words, the damage to the houses and roads was more serious. Slime was an elemental life form, so its body was not hard. The explosion damage was actually a shock wave, and it only dealt one damage.
Therefore, the explosion just now only looked scary. The actual damage of a single target might not even be comparable to that of a Fragment Grenade. It might not be able to kill anyone, but it would be easy to push down the wall.
“Fellow villager, hang in there. I’ll save you now.”
BoxNovel.comThe Spiced Spicy Hot Dumpling Team members wandered among the ruins after the explosion, constantly rescuing the unfortunate villagers who were crushed by the collapsed houses.
“Strange, such a big thing happened in the stockade, why aren’t the martial artists stationed back?”Ji Ruo mumbled in confusion as he rescued the man.
When Liang Shixian heard this, he could not help but frown and say, “Indeed. Logically speaking, with such a large number of Devil Birds attacking, they should have returned long ago…Was he being held back by something? Or do you think that you don’t have to worry because the statue is here?”
“Alright.”
Nearly 20% of the houses in the Eight Treasures Stronghold were destroyed in this sudden attack. Due to the protection of the holy statue and the timely handling of the situation by Ji Ruo, the damage was not too great.
While Spiced Spicy Hot Dumpling was rescuing the villagers, the battered martial artists who were stationed there returned one after another. When they returned to the village and saw the situation, they felt deeply remorseful.
However, since it had already happened, it was useless to blame themselves. Therefore, they followed suit.
Martial artists were all physically strong, and they were especially efficient in clearing the ruins.
Not long after, all the villagers trapped in the ruins were rescued.
After that, it was time to count the casualties and rebuild after the disaster.
“Brother Hu, why are you guys only back now?” ” We found traces of high-level demon beasts nearby…”
Hu Yonglin explained guiltily.
The Eight Treasures Stronghold was the place where the new secret realm had descended, and all the surrounding demons had been strengthened.
Ordinary demons were still fine, but if they were high-level demons, they would be even more dangerous after being strengthened. Therefore, to be safe, they all moved out to kill them in advance.
Who knew that the other party actually had high intelligence and could even use a method similar to mental control. When they were about to be killed, they controlled a large number of strengthened demon birds to attack the Eight Treasures Stronghold. Hu Yonglin and the others wanted to retreat and defend, but they were held back by the demon.
In addition to the Devil Bird, the devil also controlled the Devil Rats, Devil
Mosquitoes, and other low-level devils to delay Hu Yonglin and the others.
Although they had successfully killed the demon in the end, it was already too late for them to return.
“I see.” Liang Shixian was enlightened, “I was wondering why those demon birds were so desperate to attack the holy barrier. So they were being controlled.”
“Fortunately, you guys are here. Otherwise…” “Thank you!” Hu Yonglin said solemnly.”
“You’re welcome. This is what we should do.”
“Oh, right.” “Where’s Gu Shaoxuan?” Hu Yonglin suddenly asked. Although that fellow’s personality was rather strange, he was still a Star Jade Realm martial artist…Was he the one who helped to resolve the beast tide just now?”
“No, no! It’s the Armored Warrior!”
A child imitated Ji Ruo’s actions and said,””The Armored Warrior is amazing! In an instant, these bad birds were turned into fireworks!”
“Armored Warrior?”
Hu Yonglin listened to the villagers ‘descriptions and finally remembered.
Wasn’t he talking about the strange person they met last night?
“So it’s him…But why was he dressed like that?”Hu Yonglin thought, Also, why did he put that thing in the coffin?”
He seemed to have misunderstood something. Ji Ruo was a little puzzled. Did Hu Yonglin not know what was in the coffin that Gu Shaoxuan was carrying?
However, even though he was confused, he didn’t take the initiative to admit it. It felt pretty good to hear the person next to him praise him.
Gu Shaoxuan carried the black coffin on his back and silently looked at the villagers who had died miserably in front of him.
A rat-type demonic creature was gnawing on the corpse. Gu Shaoxuan was clearly standing behind it, but it did not seem to notice him at all.
“That’s why I said no one knows who will come first tomorrow or an accident.”
Gu Shaoxuan said softly and pinched the demonic creature. “Destroying a corpse is disrespectful. Be careful in your next life.”
As he said that, he spat out a force from his palm and actually directly shattered the struggling and roaring demon rat into pieces!
Then, Gu Shaoxuan picked up the broken corpse with a face full of pity and walked into the forest.
In the forest, there were incense, candles, paper money, and all kinds of funeral supplies that had been prepared long ago.
Gu Shaoxuan usually did not live in the village. Because he was in this line of work, the villagers felt that Gu Shaoxuan was unlucky.
Gu Shaoxuan was already used to this.
He skillfully helped the dead villagers tidy up their remains. Then, he pulled out a long knife from the side of the black coffin, cut down the tree trunk, and hollowed out the trunk to make a simple coffin. “I’m sorry, the conditions are really limited.”
After a simple ceremony, he buried the dead.
Although he was not related to the deceased, Gu Shaoxuan still communicated with the deceased seriously and asked if there was anything he needed his help with.
The dead were speechless.
“Sigh, it still doesn’t work? What was wrong? Or did that rule not appear?” He sighed.
A moment later, Gu Shaoxuan burned incense and paper for the new grave in front of him. He stood up and said,”l’m sorry I can’t accompany you for too long. I still have to help others collect their corpses. Please live well in that world and rest in peace.”
Gu Shaoxuan turned around and left.
At this moment, a gentle breeze suddenly blew in the forest. The leaves rustled in the wind.
“Save me, I don’t want to die yet..
In a trance, Gu Shaoxuan seemed to hear someone whispering in the wind.
He suddenly turned his head and looked at the new grave.
” What did you say?!”
“Save me…”
The sound was mixed in the wind, sometimes far and sometimes near, very weak.
If Gu Shaoxuan was not weak, he might not have been able to hear it!
Gu Shaoxuan was ecstatic and asked excitedly, “What are you now? Have you become a ghost? You can talk to me? Can you tell me what that world is like?
Was there really a world after death? Can you help me find someone?”
“Is there anyone who can save me…” The other party kept muttering.
Gu Shaoxuan realized that something was wrong.
Not the dead in the grave?
Frowning, he walked around the new grave. The sound in the wind gradually grew louder.
A moment later, on the other side of the forest, Gu Shaoxuan saw the dying villager.
“So he didn’t die.” Gu Shaoxuan was a little disappointed.
There was a long blood-red trail behind the villager. It was obvious that he was lucky enough to survive the attack just now, but he was also seriously injured.
Judging from the direction they were heading, it seemed like they wanted to return to the Eight Treasures Stronghold.
“You relied on your strong desire to live to climb all the way here?”Gu Shaoxuan rubbed his chin.” It seems like I need to have some sort of obsession to become a ghost…
“Please, save me…”
When the villager saw Gu Shaoxuan, his eyes suddenly lit up with a strong desire to live.
“My wife, my child…Still waiting for me at home…l can’t die… Please, save me…”
The villagers begged.
Gu Shaoxuan looked at the other party in silence.
Buzz
A strange buzzing sound rang out and the smell of blood attracted the demons.
It was the Tail Stinger Hornet.
When the villagers heard the commotion, their eyes were filled with fear.
Puff
A poisonous tail spike flew over and pierced the back of the villager’s head, instantly killing him.
Before he died, he glared at Gu Shaoxuan with hatred in his eyes.
He seemed to be asking, why didn’t you save me?
Gu Shaoxuan just watched. With his strength, he could naturally react, but he did not help.
“Does it hurt?”
Gu Shaoxuan asked.
No one answered.
“I will avenge you and bury you. Rest in peace.”
As he spoke, Gu Shaoxuan raised his hand and smashed the Tail-Stinger Hornets into pieces.
However, at this moment”Why didn’t you save me?”
An abnormally illusory figure appeared above the villager’s corpse and pounced towards Gu Shaoxuan with a fierce look.
Gu Shaoxuan was stunned.
The fierce-looking villager’s soul was halfway through its attack when its abnormally illusory figure completely dissipated.
A gentle breeze blew against Gu Shaoxuan’s face. His breathing quickened, and his eyes were feverish.
“Yes! There really was! It’s really the case!
In this sudden small beast tide, three villagers of the Eight Treasures
Stronghold went missing. Although everyone was sad, they still had to live.
After this beast tide, the number of strengthened demons around the Eight Treasures Stronghold decreased sharply. In addition, the new mystical realm had stopped descending for some unknown reason. The situation was finally under control.
The post-disaster reconstruction work went very smoothly, and the Eight Treasures Stronghold returned to its former peace.
Two days later.
The team of experts sent by the higher-ups arrived and started to study the new mystical realm that had stopped descending for no reason.
“It’s really like a person sleeping, but how is this possible?’”‘
The experts looked at the strange data fluctuations detected by the instrument and exclaimed,”l’ve lived for a long time.”
This was the first time they had encountered such a situation.
Although he didn’t understand why this happened, an expert was an expert after all.
After a simple discussion, they solemnly told the villagers and the martial artists stationed there that they could not relax their vigilance now. The beast tide was very likely to appear again.
When the secret realm descended, it would release a special power that was very beneficial to the demons. It could allow the demons to evolve in a very short period of time.
Now that the secret realm had stopped descending for some reason, and that power was no longer released, those demons who had tasted the sweetness would definitely be restless.
“We need to increase patrols in the near future.” “Also, please find a few people who are familiar with the surrounding situation to bring us around. We want to study why the mythical realm stopped descending and see if this situation can be replicated.”‘
“No problem!” Hu Yonglin nodded and then transferred two martial artists to follow the expert team.
Of course, Ji Ruo knew about the arrival of the experts and what they were here for.
However, he did not tell the experts that the mythical realm had been sealed by him.
The secret realm was sealed by Ji Ruo with a blanket, nailed with nails, and covered with earth and stone…Mystic realms did not have self-awareness. In theory, it was impossible to break the seal with one’s own will.
As long as it was not destroyed by external forces, it was equivalent to a permanent seal.
If he told these experts the truth, they would definitely not be able to resist studying it. In that case, it was very likely that Ji Ruo’s seal would be destroyed.
Moreover, Ji Ruo could not explain why he could seal the mystic realm with a quilt, so not reporting it was the best choice.
