Chapter 215 The woman on the river, the strange letter
This woman had many whip marks and wounds on her body, her clothes were in tatters, and a large area of her skin was exposed and was already red from the cold.
The group of pursuers holding long swords said with gloomy faces: "Don't let her run away, chase her quickly!"
Two groups of people, one behind the other, rushed toward Cao Xing and the others.
Seeing this scene, Assam instantly pulled out his long sword and stood in front of Cao Xing.
Including others, they also grabbed their weapons.
Rhaenys and Elissa drew their bows, ready to strike.
But Cao Xing waved his hand and said: "Don't prepare to take action yet."
After receiving Cao Xing's order, the two archers stopped where they were.
At the same time, the woman had already run to everyone.
After seeing the tall Assam, he knelt down with a 'pop'.
She grabbed Assam's calf and said with a pleading look on her face: "My lord, please save me..."
The woman had tears on her face and intense fear.
Her appearance is quite delicate, she looks to be in her early thirties, with a hint of the charm of a mature woman between her brows.
Assam's hand holding the sword was hanging in the air, and then he looked at Cao Xing at a loss.
"Lord Lord...this..."
When the woman saw this, she seemed to understand that among the group of people, Cao Xing was the one giving orders.
He quickly knelt down in front of Cao Xing and said with tears on his face: "Sir, please save me..."
"I have been chased by those vicious gangsters for a long time..."
Cao Xing asked in confusion: "What's going on? Why are those militiamen chasing you?"
However, before the woman could speak, the group of armed militiamen had already arrived in front of Cao Xing and others.
After seeing Cao Xing, these militiamen put away their murderous intent and did not rush forward immediately.
They seemed to know that these people in front of them were not easy to mess with.
The two sides maintained a certain distance and were in a stalemate for a while.
Then, one of the militiamen stood up and said respectfully: "Sir, we are hunting down this white demon spirit. I hope it will be convenient for you."
"White demon spirit?" Cao Xing looked confused.
The soldier said: "Yes, it's the woman behind you. She was transformed by the white demon spirit."
"This kind of monster will transform into a human woman, trick those strong men into unknown corners, suck their essence, and turn them into their own slaves."
"This monster even appears during the day."
"She has been causing trouble in [Warys Village] for a long time, and many strong villagers have suffered from her poisonous hands!"
Upon hearing this, Cao Xing looked at the woman kneeling on the ground.
She kept shaking her head, with deep fear in her eyes.
The cotton suit he was wearing also seemed to be put on temporarily, without any underwear underneath.
The snow-white chest was completely exposed, and there were whip marks on the neck.
She hurriedly shook her head and said, "Sir, I am not a white demon spirit. Don't believe them!"
"These people are not the militia of Waris Village, they are a group of bandits!"
Cao Xing had doubts on his face again, "Bandits?"
The woman in front of me nodded hurriedly, "Yes!"
"That day, a group of bandits entered our village, killed all the men and children, and then arrested all the women and put them in dungeons."
"Then they began to humiliate and abuse us endlessly, and the women in the entire village became their venting tools."
"We don't know how long they spent in the dungeon. Many women couldn't bear the humiliation and have committed suicide."
"I was the only one who persisted, and I managed to escape today when the group of bandits changed shifts."
"Sir, please save me, save those poor people imprisoned in Wallis Village!"
After hearing what the woman said, the group of militiamen in front of them suddenly said excitedly: "Sir, she is lying!"
"The white demon spirit is best at making up all kinds of stories to confuse people's hearts."
"Many men in our village of Wallis were deceived by her, and those men have never been found whereabouts!"
At this moment, both sides insist on their own words, and they swear to it.
Everyone, including Assam, Renes, and others, were a little confused.
Because everything they say is true and well-founded.
Cao Xing did not speak, but kept his eyes on both parties.
[Varys Village Soldier: Oriko]
[Strength: Ice Crystal Kingdom]
[Level: Level 14 (second-level ordinary creature)]
[HP: 1782/1782]
[Attack power: 217~232]
[Armor: 78~92]
[Skill: Basic Sword Skills (Basic Sword Skills learned after training in the barracks, when fighting with sword weapons, attack power +10%)
Continuous slashing (use all your strength to slash the target continuously, causing 105% damage with each attack)]
[Current status: Neutral]
…
The attributes of the militiamen seem to be fine.
Cao Xing looked at this woman again.
[Villas of Wallis Village: Molika]
[Affiliated force: Ice Crystal Kingdom]
[Level: Level 7 (first-level ordinary creature)]
[HP: 286/352]
[Skill: None]
[Talent: None]
…
Seeing this scene, Cao Xing was also a little confused.
"There is no problem with this woman's attributes."
"That's weird!"
But what is certain is that one of these two waves of people must have lied.
It's very simple to prove it, just go to [Warys Village] and have a look.
Cao Xing asked: "How far is Wallis Village from here?"
Hearing this, the woman in front of him answered first: "It's just behind the woods, only a dozen kilometers away from here."
But the expressions of the militiamen changed, and they hurriedly said: "Sir! Wallis Village is not there. It is on the other side of the river, more than 20 kilometers away from here. We chased this white demon spirit for a long time before we got here."
Seeing this scene, the woman quickly said: "Sir, they are lying. That is the location of Wallis Village. They are worried about being exposed and don't want you to go there!"
The militiamen immediately retorted: "You! I think the place you are taking us to is a trap. Have you captured all the men in Wallis Village there?"
Seeing them arguing.
Cao Xing frowned and said directly: "Stop arguing."
Hearing his voice, the two sides stopped arguing.
For a time, everyone was waiting for Cao Xing's judgment.
Do you believe this woman or the militiamen?
Cao Xing originally wanted to open the map and take a look at the specific location of Wallis Village.
However, because unexplored locations are not recorded on the map, Cao Xing found nothing.
He took out the blizzard map again, but still couldn't find the village.
This made Cao Xing even more confused.
He thought for a moment, then pointed at the woman and said, "You go ahead and lead the way."
"I'll decide after I go to the village to see the situation."
Upon hearing this, the expressions of both parties changed at the same time.
The militiamen looked ugly.
Because in this case, it means that Cao Xing chose to believe this woman.
As for the woman, there was a look of joy on her face, and she said excitedly: "Okay, sir, I will take you there right now!"
After saying that, she grabbed her clothes and trotted forward.
However, after she ran a few steps away, she suddenly felt a sound of wind coming from behind.
When she realized the danger, she turned around.
A big ice ball has already whizzed over.
"Bang!"
【-2413】
A big wound exploded, and the woman in front of him let out a scream!
Then, she fell directly onto the cold ice, blood gradually flowing out.
Until her death, she looked at Cao Xing with an unbelievable look in her eyes.
Everyone on the court was stunned, as if they didn't know why Cao Xing suddenly took action.
However, he frowned and thought, "Did I guess wrong?"
"But I clearly feel that this woman has a rotten aura."
At this moment, a line of white smoke gradually rose from the woman's body.
The dead woman gradually stood up from the ground.
The clothes on his body slipped off, revealing a white body.
Then, in front of everyone, her body began to change.
The skin all over the body quickly shriveled up, and the flesh and blood began to rot.
Her proud chest also began to sag rapidly as if it had shrunk.
And with the change, her body also grew rapidly, reaching a height of two and a half meters.
Like a tall and thin mummy.
The bloody mouth opened wide, spitting out a rotten tongue.
A voice like a wraith came.
"Human...why are you attacking me..."
"I trust you so much!"
"If you promise me, I will let you experience the most extreme happiness in the world~"
After hearing this and looking at the mummy in front of him, Cao Xing couldn't help but feel a chill.
Including others, they also looked at the scene in front of them with surprise.
Assam pulled out his long sword and exclaimed: "It's really a monster, and a rare demon spirit!"
In front of Cao Xing, the other party's true attributes also appeared.
【White Demon Spirit】
[Race: Evil Spirit]
[Level: Level 18 (second-level boss-level creature)]
[HP: 6890/6890]
[Attack power: 457~487]
[Armor: 89~97]
[Skill: Wraith Claw Strike (The white demon spirit quickly pounces on the enemy and uses its claws to cause wounds. The enemy hit will be affected by the plague infection and lose 174 health points per second.)
Wraith Clone (Every 1 minute, a clone is created, with the same attributes as the White Demon Spirit's main body, until the end of the battle;
Any White Demon Spirit clone can be regarded as its main body, and all clones need to be killed. Only then can it be completely killed)
Demon spirit disguise (the white demon spirit's exclusive camouflage technique can perfectly imitate the breath and appearance of the creature and will not be easily seen through).
Servant transformation (creatures that have been sucked by the white demon spirit will be transformed into slaves and inherit 50% of the attributes of the white demon spirit)]
[Talent: Body of Wraiths (physical damage received is reduced by 30%, and can move quickly.)]
(Introduction: Existences that die with strong resentment will continue to create more clones. Pay attention! The longer you fight the white demon spirit, the slimmer the chance of survival.)
…
Seeing the system prompt, Cao Xing's eyes showed a thoughtful look. "A demon spirit that can clone itself?"
"Looking at the system introduction, they will continue to create more clones as they fight. Each clone is equivalent to the main body, which is indeed a bit difficult to deal with."
At this moment, the mummy was stepping on the cold snow, its long tongue waving in the air, making seductive sounds.
"Human...come with me, I can make you feel that ultimate happiness forever, hehehe~"
"I can also create many clones for you to play with. I have all the styles you want~"
now.
Assam had already raised the [King's War Blade] high and was about to cut it down with a single blow.
And Cao Xing said: "Assam, wait a moment."
After saying that, he took out a wide scythe from his backpack.
"Try this."
Yes, this weapon is the [Soul Eater Scythe], which can cause an additional 50% damage to evil creatures.
This is what Cao Xing suddenly thought after seeing its [Evil Spirit Body] talent.
So Assam took it over.
At this moment, a white smoke emitted from the white demon spirit.
Then next to it, an identical mummy appeared.
Two mummies are preparing to rush towards Assam!
But he saw the sickle in his hand, which was nearly 1.5 meters tall and exuded a faint black aura.
A hint of fear suddenly appeared in the white demon spirit's empty eyes.
"What kind of weapon is this..."
"Why do I sense danger when I'm up there?"
Assam didn't say much. The frost wolf at his feet led him to charge in an instant and came to one of the white demon spirits.
Then, the huge scythe sliced through the opponent's body.
"Tsk!"
【-5784】
A horrific injury occurs!
"ah!!!"
The white demon spirit let out a scream.
Seeing this scene, Cao Xing also had a look of surprise on his face.
"Okay, okay, it's exactly what I expected."
"This kind of sickle can cause extremely terrifying damage to spiritual bodies!"
The white demon spirit was slashed, and a long blood mark appeared on his body. His whole body was shaking violently, and he seemed to be in extreme pain.
Before it could react.
At this time, Assam had already swung his second sword.
"Uh-huh!"
【-5683】
At this moment, the clone of Bai Yaoling was reduced to ashes on the spot.
The remaining white demon spirit finally realized the seriousness of the matter.
It just wanted to escape, but how could it outrun Assam, the level 30 boss?
As Assam caught up, two swish knives fell.
The white demon spirit's health returned to zero, and a stream of white smoke quickly shot out from its body.
Then it was reduced to ashes on the spot.
A system prompt appears.
[Members of your territory: Assam killed the white demon spirit lv18, a second-level boss-level creature, and gained experience points: 0]
[Combatants gain experience points: 270]
…
From the beginning to the end of the battle, it took less than twenty seconds.
Assam killed this second-level leader.
At the same time, Cao Xing also saw some materials dropped on the ground after the death of the white demon spirit.
Just as he was about to ask Assam to pick up the things on the ground, the second system prompt appeared.
[Attention survivors! Because you made the right choice and helped someone who really needed help. 】
[Knight’s Five Virtues Trial: The progress of the Generosity Trial has been updated. 】
[Current progress: 1/5]
…
Cao Xing was stunned for a moment.
"Um...Is this okay?"
"So this is what the mission says, to help people who really need help?"
He was a little confused...
However, no matter what, this pointed out a way for Cao Xing.
This [Trial of Generosity] is not that complicated, you just need to make the right choice.
"Very good. In this way, you only need to have more contact with those aboriginal people, and you can quickly complete the trial of generosity."
"Then we will find a level 40 boss monster for Assam to challenge, and all five knight virtues will be completed."
"At that time, you will be able to get the complete legendary weapon!"
Thinking of this, a smile appeared on the corner of Cao Xing's mouth.
At the same time, Assam also picked up the things dropped by the white demon spirit and handed them to Cao Xing.
"Lord, please take a look."
Cao Xing nodded and took it.
[Obtain: Wraith Crystal (Purple)*6]
[Get: Medium Spiritual Book*1]
[Obtain: Intermediate Power Heart*1]
[Obtain: Intermediate element crystal*2]
[Get: Molika’s letter]
…
"Oh? There's a new material out?"
Cao Xing took a look at the properties of the new material.
[Resentful Crystal (Purple): A crystal with strong resentment, which is an advanced material for some kind of evil alchemy]
(Note: Resentful spirit crystals will continuously release resentment. Placing it on the ground and sprinkling evil spirit dust around it can attract more evil spirits or resentful spirits in areas with extremely resentful spirits.)
…
Cao Xing was instantly happy when he saw the notes on the materials.
"Huh? This thing, combined with the evil spirit dust, can attract more evil spirits?"
You know, last time in the [Ascalon Underground Palace], Cao Xing killed those soul-eating monsters and obtained a large amount of evil spirit dust.
The thoughts in Cao Xing's mind suddenly came alive.
Obviously, this thing can have unexpected effects at certain times.
When he was bored, Cao Xing could even use this thing to summon a few resentful spirits to come over and kill him.
Thinking of this, Cao Xing put all these things into his backpack.
at the same time.
The militiamen also saw the scene of Assam killing the white demon spirit with several swords.
They all saluted Cao Xing gratefully.
"Thank you, sir, for helping us eliminate the white demon spirit."
"You have great strength and extraordinary judgment."
"On behalf of the entire village of Wallis, we would like to thank you for your help."
[Because you helped kill the white ghost, the favorability of the Wallis Village camp has been improved. The current favorability is: friendly]
…
Seeing the system prompts, a smile appeared on Cao Xing's lips.
There are still many benefits to establishing good relations with these villages.
For example, in Hoge Village, he can now recruit a group of workers for free every week, and there are discounts for purchasing supplies in the village.
You can also visit this [Wallis Village] if you have the chance.
Cao Xing smiled and said: "You're welcome. As a lord, killing these demon spirits that are causing trouble is what we should do."
Seeing that Cao Xing was so easy to talk to, the militiamen in front of them also had smiles on their faces.
"You are truly a kind and powerful lord."
"If you have the chance, come to Wallis Village as a guest. We welcome you at any time."
After hearing this, Cao Xing replied: "It's easy to talk about. If I have a chance, I will go to your Wallis Village."
After some courtesy.
The two sides separated.
Then, Cao Xing took the people and continued to where the [Witch Forest] was.
On the way, Cao Xing took out the prop that exploded from the white demon spirit and took a look.
[Morrika’s letter: special props]
[Click to read. 】
Cao Xing clicked to read.
(PS: Since this piece of information is important and cannot be seen by book friends on QQ Reading, it will not be placed in the comment area.)
[First excerpt]
Father, I hope the gods will bless my sister and you.
Now please read carefully because what I am about to say is very important.
As soon as you see this letter, please go to Melind City immediately, find Baron Ortega, and tell him that Wallis Village has been occupied by the bandits from the Borellis Mountains!
【Second clip】
All the militiamen in the village were killed and the village was now in their hands.
They seemed to be performing some kind of evil priestly ritual. They arrested the villagers every day and carried out cruel sacrifices. They also talked about the mountain god in their mouths.
This morning, my sister was taken away by them. I listened to her screams but could do nothing.
I know it will be my turn soon...
【Third clip】
Father, it seems that they did not summon the mountain god, but some evil existence.
At night, I heard the screams of the bandits and the sound of the monster swallowing food.
Oh my God! Many bandits were eaten, and they screamed so miserably!
【Fourth clip】
That evil existence has broken into the underground prison, and many villagers died screaming!
I heard the monster's footsteps, which were so heavy.
It's like the sound of when you took me to the edge of the cliff and threw the stone down when I was a kid.
The footsteps are approaching my cage, it has already arrived...
…
After reading the introduction in the letter, Cao Xing's pupils suddenly shrank.
Then he stared at the direction in which the group of militiamen were leaving, with an evil look flashing in his eyes.
I thought I made the right choice.
And now it seems that these militiamen are not a good thing either!
…
