Chapter 108 Sad and Deplorable
[Discovering a village will reward you with 10 exploration points. 】

Among the continuous mountains, there is a deep mountain depression, the birthplace of a certain mountain spring, and a village with less than a hundred people is hidden in it. It is Xinghuo Village.

"What is your name."

At night, I was sitting in the open space at the head of the village under the starry sky, surrounded by several four or five-year-old children.Wang Ming asked with a smile and distributed the meat in the bowl to them.

"Wang Zhuangzhuang."

"Zhao Fuhu."

"Guoguo."

"Zhou Yuheng."

……

These children stuffed the meat into their mouths in one gulp, and said their names with some sobs.

Some names are nice, while others are a bit rustic.

"Where are your parents?"

Wang Ming stretched out his hand, hugged the youngest Guoguo in his arms, and asked again.

"Go kill the monster."

"died."

"do not know."

The other children sat around Wang Ming and answered innocently one by one, which made Wang Ming feel sad.

During the day, Wang Ming rescued Li Shayao and the others and followed them to Xinghuo Village.As a Spark, Wang Ming was very popular and also learned about the situation in the village.

As Li Shayao said, this village is full of sparks!
Since 20 years ago, Zhonghui Country was impacted by the beast tide and lost a large area of ​​territory, and Spark was born.In the past 20 years, tens of thousands of warriors entered the border, and then it was like a stone sinking into the ocean, and all news was lost.

Most of them died in the border wilderness. In this year, Wang Ming has buried dozens of Xinghuo's remains.But some people are still fighting.

A person's power is too weak, especially in a dangerous border.So when strangers meet, they naturally unite to form a collective.

When this group gradually grows, it becomes a village.

"Is it passed down from generation to generation?"

Chatting with these children, Wang Ming couldn't help frowning.

This Xinghuo Village was established by the original Xinghuo more than ten years ago.There are men and women among them, and they naturally start to reproduce, giving birth to one child after another.

Now that these children have grown up, they have become the new Sparks!

Just like Li Shayao and the others, although they are only fifteen or sixteen years old, as they said, they are already old Xinghuo.As for the Xinghuo logo on their necks, they are left over from the dead Xinghuo, mostly from their parents.

"Play on your own for a while."

After putting Guoguo down and saying something to the children, Wang Ming stood up and walked straight to the village chief's yard.

According to Li Shayao, when the village chief was young, he was a master of the tenth level of the Wuhun Realm!But in an operation to hunt and kill monsters, unfortunately, he was seriously injured, and barely had three levels of strength left.

Even so, people in the village respect the village head very much.

"Newcomer, you are here, sit down quickly."

Seeing Wang Ming walking in, the village chief smiled and beckoned him to sit down.

The village head is just 50 years old this year, and entered the border when he was 30 years old.That is to say, at the beginning of the formation of the border, he came in.

In fact, Zhonghuiguo had just been hit hard at that time, and countless people lost their friends and relatives.In great pain, many people chose to enter the border to kill monsters and beasts for revenge!

It was also during that period that sparks formed naturally, and that was when there were the most sparks.

But now, 20 years have passed, and the people who have survived since then are rare.

"Thank you."

Wang Ming thanked him and sat face to face with the village chief at the wooden table in the small courtyard.

Glancing at the village chief, he was obviously only 50 years old, but because of old injuries, he was as old as 80 or [-] years old.

"Are you still used to it in the village?"

"very good."

"That's good."

The village chief nodded, seeing Wang Ming frowning, he couldn't help asking.

"What, is something wrong?"

"Ah."

Wang Ming nodded and said directly.

"Why not send the children back to the Zhonghui State."

As a human race, as a citizen of the Zhonghui Kingdom, as a sect warrior, as a Xinghuo, hunting monsters on the border, and even giving his life, is understandable.

After all, this was their own choice in the first place!

But their child was destined to become a Xinghuo from birth, living a precarious life, destined to die in a certain battle, this is too cruel!
Just like today, if it wasn't for Wang Ming, Li Shayao and the others would probably be dead.At the age of fifteen or sixteen, it is the time when they are full of vigor, and they are still children.

"When they grow up, they can choose for themselves whether to return to the border and become a Starfire."

Seeing that the village chief did not speak, Wang Ming continued.

"But now, they should return to Zhonghui Country and have a stable life!"

"I smell the blood of the demon clan from you."

The village chief was silent for a while, then suddenly said something.

"You are a demon."

"Yes."

Wang Ming didn't hide anything, he nodded and admitted.

"When you rescued Xiaodouzi and the others, you saw them turning into beasts, right?"

He didn't seem to care about Wang Ming's identity as a monster, so the village head changed the subject and said directly without waiting for Wang Ming's answer.

"The human race has innate shackles and can only cultivate to the third level. We old guys are okay. Before entering the border, we all sealed the martial soul and broke through the shackles. But our children are not so lucky."

"Are you..."

"You guessed right, we don't have supernatural powers anymore, and we can't seal the martial soul."

"..."

Wang Ming frowned, and couldn't help being silent for a while.

Only those with supernatural powers can seal the martial soul. Even Wang Ming, who has a system by his side, is subject to this restriction.What ideas can these sparks wandering in the wilderness have?
If you can't seal the martial soul, you can only cultivate to the third level.In this dangerous border, this level of strength is not even enough to escape!

"Fortunately, my former village head researched a secret technique!"

The village chief spoke again, with a serious expression on his face.

"Burn the formation in the body, seal the monster's blood in it, activate it to transform into a beast, and thus break free from the confinement of the innate shackles!"

"..."

Hearing this, Wang Ming suddenly realized that the dark red lines on Li Shayao's body turned out to be this animalization restriction.Thinking of Li Shayao's beastly appearance, Wang Ming frowned again and fell silent for a while.

"Although I broke the shackles, I also became a half-human, half-animal monster."

The village head shook his head with a wry smile, and suddenly looked at Wang Ming.

"As a demon, how are you doing in Zhonghui Country?"

Wang Ming didn't speak, his face became more and more gloomy, he understood what the village chief meant.

As a monster, Wang Ming was entangled endlessly by Beidouzong and nearly killed him.And in the entire Zhonghui country, there are not a few extremists like Beidouzong.

The demon people still have the appearance of a human race, but these children who have turned into half-beasts must not be tolerated!Once he returns to Zhonghui Country, it is not bad to be cast aside and stared at by others, but he will probably be killed soon.

"You are great."

Looking at the village chief, Wang Ming said something sincerely.

As Xinghuo, in order to hunt and kill monsters, they spared their lives.In the end, he even turned into a half-beast, and completely gave up even the last trace of dignity. What a difficult choice!
But they get nothing in return, and even their children will repeat a more miserable life.
