"Children, I have no ill intentions towards you."

The old man stood up and slapped his uncomfortable back.

Chu Ming opened his mouth and exposed two fangs.

"Of course I know this, but aren't you afraid of us, old sir?"

"hehe."

The old man smiled kindly and did not react to Chu Ming's exposed fangs. Instead, he picked up the pottery bowl and filled him with a bowl of hot water.

"I've lived for so long, and I haven't seen many monsters that harm people. On the contrary, people scare me more."

As he spoke, the old man put his hands on the ground and slowly sat on the small chair.

He sighed, "Back then, my son was as old as you, but he contracted a strange disease and grew a big head at some point. He was treated as a monster by the noble master and was treated. He has not come back until now.

"

Chu Ming was silent, not knowing what to say.

There are many factors that lead to the formation of hybrids, including but not limited to pollution, genetics... However, he has not seen any hybrid bloodline that can make people's heads bigger. The old man's son must be suffering from some disease, but in this human and mixed race

In this era of such sharp contradictions, his children unfortunately became victims.

The two were silent for a while, and the old man stood up and handed him the kettle and pottery bowl.

"Drink it while it's hot, and take this pot of hot water with you to your partner."

"Tomorrow morning, when the rain stops, I will take you across the river."

Chu Ming took the kettle and pottery bowl and said thank you.

Creak... creak...

Stepping on the wooden ladder, Chu Ming returned to the room.

In the room, the rain was getting heavier and heavier, and the windows were blown by the wind. Several people spread blankets on the ground, looking a little more relaxed.

"how's it going?"

Alice took off her cold coat and came forward holding a blanket.

"It's okay." Chu Ming shook his head and poured a bowl of hot water for her. "Drink the hot water and rest. I will watch over you tonight. I will wake you up if anything happens."

"sorry to bother you."

Alice's nervousness relaxed a little. After she relaxed, fatigue swept over her. The girl drank the water, wrapped herself up, huddled in the corner and narrowed her eyes.

The wild wolf took the hot water and said, "Kid, I'll be here to watch over you in the middle of the night."

"No, you have a good rest."

Chu Ming chuckled and patted his shoulder.

"Don't forget that I'm a vampire."

After saying that, without allowing him to refute, Chu Ming leaned against the wall and narrowed his eyes.

It was a long night, and everyone walked continuously for a long time. Their bodies were already very tired. Now that they had a chance to rest, they fell into sleep soon.

In the darkness, Chu Ming spread his right hand, and several blood tentacles spread out from his palm, overflowing from the gaps in the wooden house to the outside. In this way, even if something happened outside, he would be able to know it immediately.

I don’t know how much time passed, but the heavy rain gradually stopped, a bright light appeared on the horizon, and the sound of burning matches was heard from downstairs.

After a while, footsteps appeared outside the door, and someone stood outside and knocked gently on the door.

"Dong dong dong..."

Chu Ming opened his eyes, stood up, opened the door, and saw the old man outside the door.

"Child, it's time to eat."

"I'll take you across the river before it's completely light, so as not to be discovered by other villagers."

"Sorry to bother you, sir."

Watching the old man leave, Chu Ming woke everyone up.

Alice rubbed her groggy eyes and sobered up a little, "Let's leave quickly. It will be bad if the Mithril Knight comes to search after we have been delayed for such a night."

"Well, let's go down."

Everyone quickly packed up their things and hurried downstairs.

As soon as they got down to the first floor, a smell of wheat aroma wafted over, and everyone saw that the old woman was baking bread on the fireplace.

"When you wake up, take these and eat them on the road."

The old man put some baked cakes into a cloth bag and handed them to Alice.

The girl was at a loss when faced with the old man's enthusiasm. Finally, she took the bag and whispered her thanks.

"Thanks……"

The old man chuckled, put on his old coat, opened the door, and walked outside.

"Follow me, the boat is at the shore."

It was just dawning outside, and you could vaguely see the trees on the other side.

The old man looked outside the house for a while, then walked to the shore and untied the thick rope tied to the wooden boat, trying hard to push it into the river.

"Old sir, let me do it."

Alice suddenly spoke, walked to the boat, and helped push the boat into the water.

The boat floated and swayed in the water, and a few people boarded the boat carefully.

The old man wiped the sweat from his forehead, picked up the oar, and was about to get on the boat.

Suddenly, there were sounds of dogs barking in the distance, and a group of uninvited guests broke into the village.

Alice was stunned for a moment, then her face became anxious.

"This is the hound of the Mithril Knight. Why did it catch up so quickly?"

Hearing this, the old man handed the boat oar to Chu Ming's hand.

"You guys should leave quickly."

Chu Ming frowned and said, "Old sir, why don't you come with us."

If the old man goes back like this, he will definitely have to face those knights.

If you help the mixed race secretly, the consequences may not be much better.

The old man pushed the boat away and shook his head.

"You guys leave quickly, my wife is still in the village and I can't leave."

After saying that, the old man staggered back a few steps and ran towards the village.

On the boat, everyone was struggling and faced a dilemma.

If he just went back to save people, he would definitely fall into the hands of the knights, but if he didn't save them, he would be resisting in his heart.

Chu Ming glanced at everyone and jumped off the boat, "Just wait a moment, I'll be back in a minute."

Alice leaned against the side of the boat and asked nervously: "What are you going to do?"

"If we just leave like this, those villagers will definitely not survive. I have a way to help them survive."

The girl opened her mouth, but could not say anything after all, and sat back on the boat.

"If something goes wrong, you can leave early without waiting for me."

After saying that, several blood tentacles surged out, supporting his body and walking towards the village.

In the village, a mithril knight led a team of ordinary knights into the village, breaking the tranquility of Black Corner Village.

The knights violently broke into the houses and captured the villagers one by one.

In front of everyone, the Mithril Knight held a thick iron chain in his hand. At the end of the iron chain was a huge hound with a height of more than one meter and a strong body.

The hound was sniffing the ground carefully, and suddenly growled in the direction of several wooden houses on the river bank.

"I want to cross the river, hum!"

The Mithril Knight sneered.

"Fuck me!"

The man gave an order, the sound of metal clanking sounded, and the knights surrounded the river bank.

Just as the knights were about to approach the fisherman's hut, suddenly several python-like blood tentacles lifted from the ground and pulled the knights together.

"Stinky mud!"

The Mithril Knight shouted angrily, drew his sword and looked towards the house.

"My dear Lord Knight, you seem to have some prejudice against mixed races."
