An hour and a half later, the two arrived at the entrance of the village.

This is a very small village with only one street. The number of houses is obvious at a glance. There are a large number of stones at the entrance to build a half-person-high wall, and the cracks of the walls are covered with weeds.

Xiao and So walked into the village, and several villagers working in the fields stopped their work and looked at them one after another.

Most of these small villages are very xenophobic and are not even welcome to outsiders at all. Therefore, Xiao and So dare not relax their vigilance and observe these villagers while walking.

If it were before, the two of them would definitely not have visited such a closed village.

The initial goal of the xiao was to find big cities, not small villages, because such villages were very dangerous, and there were often rumors that the whole village had jointly killed people and seized money and imprisoned their wives and daughters.

In the past, Xiao and So heard from the traveling merchant that there was an unknown village four or five days away from the town of Moreya. A year ago, the city lord of Leiden sent troops to slaughter it.

The reason is that the youngest son of the city lord of Leiden City secretly traveled out with two maids, but was drowned in the toilet by the villagers of the village. The two maids were imprisoned in the cellar for the villagers to have fun.

These villagers did not know what the person they killed was, or later, the lord of Leiden City saw that his son had not returned for many days, so he sent an army to investigate and investigate clues through military dogs to discover the truth.

It can be said that both Xiao and Su remember this matter deeply, and directly gave up the idea of ​​the two of them secretly going out to travel around the world.

However, today is different from the past. Both of them now have weapons in their hands and their bodies are protected by energy scales. Even the cruel members of the slave trade team can't do anything about them. Naturally, these villagers don't need to be too afraid.

"Who are you?" At this time, a young man patted the soil on his body, stood in front of the fence, and asked.

Xiao smiled and said, "We are adventurers traveling around and just happened to pass by here, so I hope we can buy some supplies from you. I wonder if it's okay?"

"You are the adventurers?" When the young man heard this, he immediately showed a sarcastic sneer.

It's not that he underestimates people.

Both Xiao and So looked like a young girl. You can tell at a glance that they were underage with a stinky breasts. The two little kids were taking risks...

"Where is your home? I'll see if I can find a way to notify your family to pick you up." The young man continued.

The two of them were not dressed like a wealthy family. The problem was that their weapons were too delicate, so he suspected that Xiao and So might be the young masters and ladies in the big city, and deliberately dressed like this.

Xiao frowned slightly. He instantly realized that the young man had misunderstood their identities, and he was afraid that the other party would not believe anything he said now.

So he simply pulled out the dagger, under the other party's surprise gaze, he held the tip of the knife in his hand and handed it to the other party, and said, "It's not that you have the final say whether you are an adventurer, but that your strength has the final say. I'll give you a chance. You can use this dagger to attack me, and I won't fight back."

“…”

The young man was silent and neither took the dagger nor spoke.

He didn't know what Xiao had intended, nor had he ever seen anyone ask others to stab him with a knife in order to prove his identity.

"I'll try it!"

At this time, a young man walked up from behind the young man, took the dagger and said.

The young man immediately frowned and stopped and said, "Ma Ming!!!"

"It's okay, try it!" Xiao said immediately. The young man named Ma Ming immediately stabbed Xiao with a dagger through the fence, but before the dagger could stab Xiao's shoulder, it was blocked by the energy scales.

The young man and Ma Ming both widened their eyes and looked at the sudden energy scales with a look of surprise.

"Can you tell me now that your village is willing to sell some unimportant things?" Xiao pinched the dagger, took it from Ma Ming's hand, inserted it back into the leather case at his waist, and asked.

The young man reacted and nodded quickly to say that he could.

"That's amazing, brother, can I be an adventurer with you?" Ma Ming reacted at this time, trembling his shoulders and asked excitedly.

Xiao glanced at Ma Ming, shook his head and said, "Sorry, I already have a partner."

"I can add another person. I am very physically strong and can be responsible for getting things." Ma Ming tried hard to promote himself.

But how could Xiao accept a person he didn't know at all? Although no one told him how precious the "Da Eat One" is, he is not a fool.

In the past, he had never heard of ways to become stronger by eating, and even gained incredible abilities.

Once the news is spread, he can be sure that all the city lords and nobles will target him.

Before there is no strong enough power, this is undoubtedly a way out.

On the way.

Ma Ming kept promoting himself, but finally saw that Xiao was unmoved, so he hit his mind on Sa. But as soon as he approached Sa, Sa pulled out a dagger and put it on his neck. The cold air emitted by the sharp blade made him get goosebumps all over his body. After a sudden excitement, he quickly stayed away from Sa.

The four of them walked to a relatively large dirt house. There was a tree at the door of the house. Under the tree was an old man in his fifties. The young man stepped forward and said respectfully: "The village chief, this is an owl, a powerful adventurer. I hope to buy some supplies from us."

The village chief looked at Xiao and said, "I don't know what the little brother wants to buy. The villain in the village is poor, I'm afraid there is nothing that can make Brother Xiao look at him."

"I want to buy an iron pot, an iron bowl, chopsticks, and kitchen knife..." Xiao said immediately.

The young man opened his mouth but didn't know what to say, which didn't sound like something the adventurer needed.

"Brother, are you sure you are an adventurer, not a chef?" Ma Mingxin asked immediately.

Xiao looked as if he was taken for granted and replied: "Why can't adventurers be nicer to themselves? Is it wrong to walk outside and eat a bite of hot food?"

“…”

Everyone else remained silent.

In the end, the village chief broke his silence and said, "These things can be sold to two of you, but since they are powerful adventurers, I have a reluctant request."

Don't say anything unhappy.

Xiao looked at the village chief and thought silently.

The problem is that there is no such store after passing this village. Now they have deviated significantly from their original destination, Leiden City. It will take several days to go to Leiden City. The headquarters may continue to sleep in the open these days and use messy things to make kitchenware.

"You said, but we may not be able to do it." He didn't say anything to death. It was so difficult that he would definitely turn around and leave.

The village chief seemed to have no real hope for the two of them to solve the problem, and nodded and said, "It's the reason. Recently, there is a problem in our village. Ah Cheng, let's talk about it."

"Yes, village chief." The young man nodded.

He looked at the owl and introduced: "There are dry land near our village, and no water dragons pass through the underground. Therefore, if we want to get water, we need to go to Shuiyan Lake, not far from the village to get water, but there seems to be monsters in Shuiyan Lake recently."

Then, he carefully revealed the whole story, and both Xiao and So understood roughly what was going on.

Simply put, there are monsters hidden in Shuiyan Lake. If the villagers go to fetch water, they will be dragged into the lake and eaten by the monsters. Three people have been killed.

Now no one dares to approach Shuiyan Lake, but the villagers don’t store much water. If they continue, the villagers can only migrate to other places to settle down.

Of course, Acheng said it lightly, but in fact everyone present understood that migration in the whole village would inevitably cause a large number of casualties among villagers. After all, wild animals are likely to be encountered during the migration.

"This matter is hard to say, take me to Shuiyan Lake first." Xiao frowned after hearing Acheng's introduction.

If you can drag a person into the water, the monster under the water may not be weak, and may even be particularly large.

But everything needs to be seen with your own eyes to be sure.

Acheng volunteered to take the two of them to Shuiyan Lake, and Ma Ming also kept up with him, but before he could reach the entrance of the village, his old mother grabbed his ears, grinned, and sent him home with a reluctance.

The three of them left the village and followed a path where everyone walked out, and arrived in front of a small lake in about a few minutes.

The lake looks deep. Acheng stood dozens of meters away from the lake and introduced to Xiao: "There were many water geese in the lake before, but about two years ago, all the water geese disappeared."

The name Shuiyan Lake is obviously because of Shuiyan, but it is no longer worthy of its name.

The ox slowly walked forward, and Acheng immediately reminded: "Be careful, the monster is hidden in the lake."

"Yes." Ow nodded and walked forward slowly.

The lake is about 180 meters in diameter. It is not a particularly large lake. In fact, it can also be regarded as a deep pool.

When the owl walked to the lake, the lake water appeared green. When he looked directly, he felt a terrifying feeling, as if there was something huge in the water staring at it.

Although he has energy scale defense, the owl knew very well that once he was dragged into the water, it would still be a dead end. The monster just needed to prevent him from appearing and drowning him easily.

Therefore, he was still very careful, and the reason why he dared to get close was because he could hear the sounds underwater.

He picked up a stone and threw it directly into the center of the lake. The stone fell into the water and caused a ripple, making a "pop" sound at the same time.

Gradually, he felt something was wrong, so he slowly retreated and his pace gradually accelerated.

Suddenly he rushed to the ground, and then the water surface suddenly exploded. A huge monster fish opened its bloody mouth and bit it in the air.

"Monster, what a monster!" Ah Cheng shouted with his legs trembling.

At this time, the owl was under the monster fish's chin. He was not panicked, but quickly pulled out the dagger and stabbed it at the monster fish with force. However, the sharp dagger fell on the scales and rubbed a large amount of Mars.

At this time, the strange fish missed a blow, and its body quickly retreated, and in a blink of an eye it disappeared into the water.

The ox turned around and ran away without saying a word, and the lake surface returned to calm, as if the strange fish were hallucinations and had never appeared before.
