This situation made Gu Qingxi even more cautious. So she didn't explore far away by herself. She just waited patiently for Feng Xiatian and Liao Kong to recover from their injuries before they left the cave to explore together.
It was early morning, but when I walked out of the cave and looked up at the sky, the sky was gray and there was no sunlight. It was also foggy in the distance, and only the faint outlines of the trees in the distance could be seen. The air is so humid that it seems to moisturize hair and eyelashes.
Gu Qingxi walked in front, and Liao Kong supported Feng Xiatian as she walked behind. They unanimously decided to go down the mountain to have a look. After walking slowly for a while, the three of them were surprised to find a small road. And there are many footprints of people walking on the road.
"If there is a road, then there are people living there. You can find someone to ask where this place is." Feng Xiantian looked at the winding mountain path at her feet and thought, "Let's go down the mountain along the road and have a look first?"
"Let's go." Gu Qingxi took the lead and walked in front.
Along this mountain path, Gu Qingxi and the others walked down the mountain. Then they saw a village at the foot of the mountain. The houses in these villages are all built of stone and have a rough style, but they look very solid. Gu Qingxi probably counted more than a hundred stone houses. It seems that the population of this village is not small.
As soon as Gu Qingxi and the others reached the entrance of the village, they met several tall men. These men, without exception, are all tall and strong. They should look like hunters, but they don't look like them. Because these people are dressed very strangely.
Some people wore hair crowns that looked like magic weapons, but they were wearing coarse clothes. Some people wear swords on their waists, but their clothes are ragged. Someone had a valuable jade pendant hanging around his waist, and his upper body was wearing a brocade dress, but his feet were wearing straw sandals.
All of these people had a fierce look in their eyes, full of evil spirits. This kind of evil spirit is the evil spirit that comes from having hands soaked in blood.
This weird and nondescript outfit made Gu Qingxi wary. No matter how you look at it, you feel that these people are not good people.
When these men saw Gu Qingxi and the three of them, they were startled for a moment, and then a malicious smile appeared on their faces.
Then he began to look at Gu Qingxi and the others as unscrupulously as if they were looking at goods.
"Here come three more."
"These three have tender skin and tender flesh. Especially the little girl in front."
However, one of the men with a sword on his waist said in a cautious tone: "It's better to go up the mountain first. It's important to collect food. Don't delay here. We don't have much time left. We'll talk about it when we get back. We can't run away."
"Haha, yes, you can't run away anyway, come back and enjoy it." The other man looked at Gu Qingxi with greedy eyes, which made Gu Qingxi feel sick.
After several people said this, they were about to leave.
Then, Gu Qingxi drew his sword with a cold face, pointed it at several people, and said coldly: "Stop."
The men were stunned, then looked at each other, and then burst into laughter.
Someone laughed and said, "This little girl hasn't figured out the situation yet, and she's still acting like a female fairy. I'll let her figure it out right away. It won't take a long time."
After hearing this, several other people laughed obscenely: "It won't take a long time, Lao Li, it seems you can't do it."
"You'll know soon if it's okay or not." The sturdy man named Li walked towards Gu Qingxi with a lewd smile on his face.
Feng Xiatian clenched the hilt of her sword, her face darkened, and she was about to draw the sword.
However, when these people saw Feng Xiatian's actions, they seemed to think it was some big joke, and they laughed even more.
"Little girl, come on, let me take care of myself... Ah——!!" Before he could finish speaking the obscene words, a shocking howl suddenly sounded.
The hand that the man named Li stretched out towards Gu Qingxi was now lying alone on the ground. Blood splattered, and the man raised his broken arm in pain, his eyes full of unbelievable horror, and his screams were deafening.
This turn of events stunned the few people who had been laughing just now.
"How is this possible? Don't you have no spiritual power? Aren't you ordinary people?" the man with the sword said tremblingly. Why could such a thin little girl cut off Lao Li's hand with a sword? The speed was so fast that they didn't even see clearly how the little girl took action.
The man named Li howled miserably. He looked at his severed hand, his eyes were splitting, and he couldn't believe the facts in front of him.
"It's so noisy." Gu Qingxi stabbed the man surnamed Li in the thigh with a sword without expression, and what he heard was an even more shrill howl.
Gu Qingxi glanced coldly at the howling man on the ground, stabbed his other leg with a sword with her backhand, and slowly turned the hilt of the sword to stir it. Her face was calm, and she said slowly word by word: "I said, it's so noisy. Don't you understand?"
The man surnamed Li's face was twisted in pain, his eyes were filled with fear, but he kept his mouth tightly shut, not daring to make any more noise. This feeling of the breath of death covering his whole body made his liver and gallbladder split and he almost fainted. He didn't dare to think about the more terrible consequences he would have if he continued to howl and anger the girl in front of him.
Gu Qingxi's actions made those strong men feel frightened. Their faces were pale and their eyes were filled with fear. Such a little girl is so cruel and ruthless, and she doesn't change her face. What happened this time was such a tough one?
"Now, can you tell us carefully about where this place is?" Gu Qingxi said slowly with a calm face. But her tone was like ice, which made people feel cold.
