When I traveled through time and became a player, I just wanted to commit suicide

Li Shanren stood in front of a large brown and black pottery jar.

The pottery jar was nearly one meter tall and was surrounded by weeds. There was nothing else around it. The two houses nearest to it were dozens of steps away, making it look very out of place.

He raised his foot and kicked the pottery jar lightly. It did not make the crisp sound of pottery tiles, but rather a muffled sound, as if he had kicked someone's body.

Li Shanren raised his eyebrows, then kicked harder.

“Ouch——, no…no, please stop!”

Tao Guan suddenly spoke, sounding a little panicked.

After a moment, a burst of golden light dissipated from it, and in the blink of an eye it turned into a hunchbacked old man in dirty clothes.

The old man's face was covered with wrinkles and age spots. He looked very old, and had a large bunch of white beard on his chin.

"I... I don't know anything. I'm just an ordinary old man who wants to live. Please show mercy and spare my life." The hunchbacked old man knelt on the ground, raised his hands, and begged.

"Don't be afraid. I'm not in the same group as those who massacred you." Li Shanren raised his hand and pointed at the body of the fallen perfumer on the slope not far away. "The perfumer over there was looking for you just now."

Upon hearing this, the hunchbacked old man immediately stretched his neck and turned his head to look. When he saw the body of the perfumer, the expression on his face suddenly relaxed a little, and he believed Li Shanren's words a little more.

"So you are not their companion? Thank God, thank you... for being able to avenge us, cough cough cough..."

As soon as the hunchbacked old man finished expressing his gratitude, he lowered his head, covered his mouth and began to cough violently.

After coughing dozens of times in succession, he looked at the silver blood in the palm of his hand with a gloomy expression.

"Ah... I can't escape the fate of death after all..."

After that, he looked up at Li Shanren again and said sincerely:

"As you can see, I am a son of platinum, named Elpas. You must have seen the miserable situation here along the way. I... We and this village that we depend on for survival are about to perish together. Can I ask you for a favor? Although it is presumptuous, you are not a companion of those hateful curse holders, and you are lucky enough to appear in front of me. I think... there is no one else who can help me..."

"Tell me what it is first." Li Shanren replied.

Seeing that he was not rejected immediately, the hunchbacked old man showed some hope in his eyes, and then he tremblingly took out a semicircular metal object from his arms.

There was a lush tree carved on the surface of the object, with half a crystal clear emerald inlaid in the middle. The broken part was very smooth and looked like half of a whole object.

"I beg you to take this half of the talisman with you. Those curse holders have destroyed almost everything. The remaining people in the village have gone crazy. Everything we have is over, but this talisman must not fall into the hands of the curse holders. Please take it with you!"

The hunchbacked old man raised the talisman above his head, lowered his head humbly and pleaded.

Li Shanren raised his hand, paused slightly, and then took the talisman in his hand.

"I promise you."

"This... this is really great. Thank you for your kindness. If you can meet a platinum son named Letina in the future, please pass this talisman to her." The hunchbacked old man said gratefully.

"I understand." Li Shanren nodded slightly.

"Then everything...I'm leaving it to you, ahem..."

The hunchbacked old man began to cough violently again. At the same time, his withered feet curled up under his clothes suddenly began to emit a faint golden light, and then turned into particles of light and dissipated.

The old man's expression darkened when he noticed this scene, but he looked up at the talisman in Li Shanren's hand and smiled as if he was relieved.

"My legs are about to disappear, which means my life is about to come to an end. This is the fate that every son of platinum cannot escape. Without the blessing of the golden tree, we will not have the chance to be reborn..."

The hunchbacked old man said this with a look of regret in his eyes, but his tone seemed very calm.

"But... in our legend, there is a blessed land that belongs to us, and the half of the symbol in your hand is the key to go there. Unfortunately, for those of us who are born with mobility problems, traveling to distant places is a luxury, so this thing is more like a treasure that can be seen but not touched..."

"No... But, for her mission, Letina will definitely need this symbol..."

As he spoke each word, the hunchbacked old man's voice became weaker and weaker, and finally he turned into countless points of light and disappeared.

Li Shanren stood there for a while, then shook his head, put away the talisman, turned around and left.

A few minutes later, he came to a stone bridge in the village.

The female soldier with a healthy wheat-colored complexion was already waiting by the bridge. She crossed her arms and looked at Li Shanren coming from the other direction. She asked, "How is it? Have you found the murderer?"

"There is a corrupt perfumer over there, he is dead." Li Shanren replied, "But he should not be the only one who massacred the village."

"I've been to the other side, but I didn't find anything. Now I haven't been to the other side of the bridge." Nepheli took off the two Storm Eagle axes from her waist and said solemnly, "Do you want to go with me to take a look?"

"Well, let's go."

Li Shanren, holding a longbow, followed Nepheli under the protection of two Greg soldiers.

His current idea is to avoid close combat as much as possible, so he will never use a sword when he can use a bow.

The two walked across the long bridge and came to a high slope.

Below, at the bottom of the slope, there were several large bare trees without a single leaf. Their winding branches twisted and stretched towards the sky, and on some of the branches hung the bodies of the long-dead Sons of Platinum.

Under the largest tree, there were corpses everywhere. In the middle of the corpses was a sarcophagus, which was burning fiercely. The filling was also several dried corpses that were forced in.

A figure wearing a thick dark yellow cloak stood beside the fire, holding two strange and hideous-looking large axes in his hands, one of which was carried on his shoulder and the other hung on the ground.

Tick ​​tock tick…

Silver blood dripped from the curved gaps between the two large axes.

Noticing the appearance of an outsider, the figure turned his head slightly, revealing an ugly bronze mask with long curved horns. The mask looked like an old man with a smile, but the smile looked inexplicably strange, as if a hunter saw a delicious prey.

Ominous Mask

"It's the Evil Omen Hunters...Aren't they more keen on slaughtering the Sons of Evil Omen? Why would they come to attack Platinum Village?" Nepheli said in a gloomy tone.

Li Shanren did not respond.

He knew very well that the other party's target was most likely the mysterious talisman given to him by the hunchbacked old man.

"I heard that the first Omen Hunter was once a Perfumer. He became an Omen Hunter because of his spiritual destruction and developed a taste for killing. However, it is precisely because of this background that Omen Hunters are often accompanied by Corrupted Perfumers. The one you just met should be the Perfumer companion of the hunter in front of you."

Nefeli continued in a deep voice.

"But now that we've found the murderer, then... let's avenge this village!"

As soon as she finished speaking, the sturdy female warrior swung her battle axe, let out a roar, and rushed towards the evil-looking hunter without fear.

Seeing this, the Evil Omen Hunter simply turned slightly to face Nepheli, but his legs remained in place without any movement.

Soon, Nepheli rushed to the bottom of the slope.

However, at this moment, three wild dogs covered with festering pustules suddenly rushed out from the dark corner on the left side of the slope. They barked wildly and pounced on Nefeli who was charging fearlessly.

The evil-omen hunter actually trained three wild dogs to ambush nearby. No wonder he was standing there so carelessly.

When the three wild dogs pounced, even Li Shanren, who was far behind, could feel the evil feeling coming from the other side's smiling old man's mask.

As the ambush was launched, the evil omen hunter who was standing still also moved, rushing towards Nefeli fiercely with a large alien hatchet.

It is impossible to get rid of Nefeli by relying on the three wild dogs alone, but they can have a certain restraining effect. In a battle, this restraint may be fatal.

The Evil Omen Hunter wanted to take this opportunity to kill the careless female warrior.

"Roar--"

A wild dog came over with foul-smelling saliva flowing.

Nepheli raised her battle axe and used the broad axe blade to block the wild dog's bite. Then she swung the other axe fiercely and chopped off the wild dog's head.

"Whizzing--"

Two arrows flew past her on either side of her body, one at the ominous hunter charging towards her, and the other, a crossbow bolt flashing with lightning, hit one of the wild dogs that pounced on her.

The last wild dog that pounced on Nepheli was blocked by a yellow shield, and then a heavy pickaxe was swung at its forehead, smashing it to pieces like a watermelon.

If Nepheli had come alone, she might have been seriously injured in the ambush just now, but with the help of Li Shanren, this trouble was easily resolved.

"Well done."

Nepheli praised the Grek vanguard soldier beside her, then regained her momentum and charged towards the Ominous Hunter not far away.

The vanguard soldiers followed closely, holding pickaxes.

On the other side, the evil omen hunter whose charge was interrupted by an arrow in the body seemed to have aroused the ferocity in his bones. He raised his hatchet and chopped at Nepheli with no intention of defending himself, as if he wanted to exchange injury for injury.

If that ferocious blade with sharp corners and barbs fell on fragile flesh, it would probably smash the person like a rag doll.

However, Nefeli did not intend to fight him to a draw, so she chose to use the two battle axes in her hands to block and defend.

The battle axe is a weapon that has both defensive and offensive capabilities.

The two heavy alien axes chopped on the surface of the Storm Eagle Axe. Nepheli groaned, the muscles on her arms bulged, and she blocked them without retreating a single step.

The vanguard soldier following her seized the opportunity, holding the pickaxe, and fiercely raised it, hammering it hard on the chin of the Evil Omen Hunter.

Immediately afterwards, two more arrows shot towards his waist from the left and right, piercing through the thick leather and going straight into his body.

Nepheli immediately felt the opponent's force loosen slightly. She decisively used the remaining strength and kicked the Evil Omen Hunter in the abdomen, knocking him to the ground. Then she shouted angrily, and lightning and storms instantly wrapped around the axe blade.

The next second, the two axes chopped down together, and blood splattered.

The evil omen hunter who massacred the entire Platinum Village was killed on the spot after being besieged.

"Evildoer, death is your best destination."

Nepheli snorted coldly, then leaned over and tore off a strange amulet pendant that looked like many tumors gathered from the chest of the evil omen hunter, turned around and handed it to Li Shanren who was walking slowly.

护符

"Thanks to your help, otherwise it would have been dangerous. I'll give you this amulet."

Li Shanren took it casually, took a look at it, and put it into the storage bag.

"Well, the matter here has come to an end. To be honest, I was originally sent by my foster father to check on the situation in Platinum Village. I didn't expect something like this to happen here. Now I have to go back and report to my foster father."

Nepheli said seriously.

The adoptive father she mentioned is Lord Baizhi of the Round Table Hall. He was one of the first group of faded people to arrive at the Round Table Hall. He can be regarded as the leader of the Round Table Hall. Although few people will listen to him, the faded people basically do what they want. (Appears around page 192 of Chapter 12)

"Then, see you again if we are destined to meet again."

Nepheli raised his battle axe, made a barbaric war salute to Li Shanren, then took out something like a golden candle and crushed it.

Then, golden light enveloped her, and when the light faded, she had disappeared from the spot.
