Infinite Five Elements Counterattack

The three of them headed towards the village along the path. I don't know if it was an illusion. The closer they got to the village, the more strange the atmosphere nearby felt to Shan Lin.

There is a stream near the village, and a group of women gathered beside the stream to wash their clothes.The woman was surrounded by several children, and the laughter of children could be heard from time to time in the ears of the three of them.

Even so, Shan Lin could still feel the dull aura on the women.

After the three of Shan Lin walked in, the women also found them.Surprisingly, they looked at Dan Lin and the others with guarded eyes.

Maybe they found that their outfits are a little different from here?

Shan Lin and the others didn't think much, and walked towards the women along the stream.

However, before they approached, all the women packed up their things one after another, and then took the children away, and looked back at the three of them from time to time, as if to make sure they had caught up?

The three of Shan Lin looked at each other in blank dismay, are they so scary?

"Eh? Why did they run away?" Zheyan was a little surprised.

"People in the village seem to be very afraid of us. Shall we go there?" Chu Rui asked hesitantly.

Looking at the women who were gradually disappearing, Shan Lin said thoughtfully: "Of course we will! I guess they should think of us as someone. This may be a clue to the mission."

Now that the choice had been made, the three of them did not hesitate and immediately walked towards the village at a faster pace.

Along the way, Dan Lin and the others saw that the crops near the village were overgrown with weeds, and they were obviously showing signs of decay after being taken care of for a long time.

What's going on here?

With such questions in mind, the three of them quickly arrived near the village.

However, before the three of them approached the village, a large group of people suddenly poured out at the intersection of the village!

what happened?

Shan Lin and Chu Rui looked at each other, and took out their weapons to take precautions.

After the three approached, they unexpectedly found that the entrance of the village was full of old and weak women and children, not a single adult man!

Where have all the men gone?

At this moment, the crowd suddenly dispersed from the middle, and a white-haired old man walked out surrounded by everyone.

The old man looked at the three of Dan Lin with slightly cloudy eyes, and Dan Lin obviously saw a flash of defense and hatred in the old man's eyes.

I heard the old man say in a trembling voice with a little respect: "Sirs, the men in the village have rushed to Mount Shize according to the request of the city lord. There is really no one left!"

Santo?Shi Zeshan?

Shan Lin immediately thought of the overcrowded Black Rock Mountain that he saw earlier.

Could it be that all the men in this village or in the vicinity are on Shize Mountain?

After listening to the old man's words, and seeing the unconcealable pain and resentment of those behind him, the men on Shize Mountain obviously did not do it voluntarily.

Is the mayor crazy?Why did you issue such a mandatory order? Are you not afraid of accidents?

"Old man, you have misunderstood. The three of us are just passing adventurers, not adults. Excuse me, what happened here?" Chu Rui hurriedly explained.

"Aren't you sent by the guards to arrest people?" The old man was also taken aback.

Chu Rui shook his head quickly, "No! Excuse me, what happened here? Where have all the men in the village gone?"

After listening to Chu Rui's explanation, the old man was obviously relieved, "This is the territory of Wadan City, Lord Wandan City..."

Speaking of this, the old man sighed and shook his head, "Forget it, boys, get out of here quickly! If you are discovered by the guards, you will definitely be taken to do labor."

Shan Lin asked at this moment: "Have all the men here been taken away?"

"That's right! It's not just men, they don't even let off children who are a little bit taller!" A woman in the crowd said through gritted teeth.

No wonder she was so resentful, her son was only 13 years old, but he was taller and stronger, and he was taken away.At this time, only she and a four-year-old daughter were left in the family, and life was not to mention how difficult it was.

"Why did the city lord issue such a coercive order? Wouldn't this make the people miserable?" Chu Rui frowned deeply.

"Hey, how can we ordinary people know these things? You should leave quickly. If the guards find out, our village will also be implicated!" Seeing that the three of them had no intention of leaving at all, the old man was obviously a little anxious.

At this moment, Zang Zheyan jumped up suddenly, and said with a sanctimonious face: "Grandpa, we are adventurers from afar, and it is our responsibility to fight against injustice! You just need to tell us everything you know, and we will Will help you!"

"I really don't know anything! If you are really capable, go directly to Wadan City to make trouble!" The old man couldn't help being a little angry when he saw that the three of them were so ignorant.

When the people in the village saw that the old man was angry, they all showed signs of alertness, intending to strike at the slightest disagreement.

It seems that it is difficult to find clues from here. Chu Rui couldn't help but feel a little headache, "Well, before I leave, I want to ask you one thing. I wonder if there are any priests around here?"

Hearing the word 'sacrifice', panic expressions appeared on everyone's faces.

"No, no, we're just a small village, where did the priest come from? Hurry up and leave!" the old man said in a panic, then turned his head and wanted to leave.

Huh?

None of Shan Lin and the others were idiots, and they immediately discovered the tricks.

The people here didn't panic in the face of the three people who might be 'guards'. Why did they panic when they heard the word 'sacrifice'?

Just as Chu Rui was about to ask, a strong man suddenly ran outside the village!

"Is Mama Gray there? Is Mama Gray there? Something happened, something happened!"

"Vincent! Why are you back?" The old man turned his head to look at the strong man unexpectedly.

The people who were just about to leave didn't care about Dan Lin and the others, and immediately went to meet the strong man outside the village.

The three of Shan Lin looked at each other, followed behind everyone, and walked up.

Seeing the young man named Vincent in ragged clothes, he said with tears on his face, "Mother Gray, Father Gray, he..."

A middle-aged woman who was not young came out of the crowd and asked in panic, "What's wrong with my husband?"

"Papa Gray, he accidentally fell off the top of the mountain..."

Before she finished speaking, the middle-aged woman's eyes went dark, and she slumped on the ground.

Everyone panicked and hurriedly supported Mama Grey, and asked what happened in a hurry.

At this moment, several men in guard uniforms walked towards here carrying a stretcher.It was the middle-aged man who fell from the top of the mountain and was seriously injured and unconscious on the stretcher.

"My child's father!" Hearing the scream of the middle-aged woman who fell to the ground, she ran to the guards, "My child's father, you can't die, what will you do at home if you die?" ah!"

Mother Gray had lost her mind at this time, and she turned around and rushed towards the guards!

"It's all your fault! You inhuman bastards, pay back my husband's life!"

The guards are all seasoned fighters, so how do you care about little women?

One of them, who was quite young, suddenly kicked Mama Gray away, and at the same time drew out the sharp knife from his waist, threatening, "Where did you come from, the shrew, die? Be honest!"

The old man hurriedly called everyone to grab Gray's mother, and at the same time said with a little pain: "My lords, she just lost her husband, and it is inevitable that she has lost control. Please bear with me!"

The captain of the escort signaled the young man to put away his weapon, "We are also very saddened by the occurrence of such a tragedy."

He looked at the man lying on the ground still bleeding from his mouth, and said regretfully, "Bury him properly!"

After speaking, he took out a generation of gold coins from his pocket and handed them to the old man, then turned and left with the others.

Shan Lin and the others hid behind the crowd, watching everything in front of them silently.

"Should we..." Chu Rui said hesitantly with a hint of impatience leaking from the corner of his eyes.

Shan Lin naturally understood what Chu Rui meant. Although this guy seemed to have changed a bit, how could he change his meddling and kind-hearted problems?

"Wait a minute, there is no hurry."

Surprisingly, Shan Lin did not object, but suggested to continue reading.

Seeing that the guards had gone far away, Mother Gray finally recovered her lost sanity.She hurried to her husband, hugged the unconscious man, and wept bitterly.

Most of the crowd were women and children, who couldn't bear it anymore, and wiped away tears one after another.

At this time, Vincent, who came back with the guards, seemed to remember something, and suddenly said to the old man, "How about... Let Lord Will see if Papa Gray is still alive?"

As soon as Vincent finished speaking, mother Gray's eyes lit up with hope, "Yes, Lord Will is still there! Maybe my husband can still be saved!"

Seeing that everyone turned their eyes to him, the white-haired old man sighed helplessly.

"That's all, let's carry Papa Gray over there!"

Will?Who is this?

While the three of them were still thinking about it, the old man suddenly turned his gaze to the three of them, "Since you are not members of the guards, I will speak directly, but there is a priest in our village!"

Chu Rui's eyes lit up.

"I don't know why you are looking for the priest, but the ugliness comes first. If you want to harm the priest, even if I try my best, I won't make it easier for you!" The old man turned his head and left after finishing speaking.

Everyone followed the old man's footsteps and rushed to the priest's house.

However, when everyone passed Shan Lin and the three of them, they all cast warning glances...
