"This place was originally called Chuilu Mountain, but many years ago, many wanderers gathered and built a blacksmith village in the mountain..."
With her black hair hanging down like silk, and wearing a light skirt and armor, the second young lady looked dashing today, and her brows were full of energy when she spoke.
"They usually make a living by making iron. The forge and furnace blowing room built around the lake in the mountain occupy a huge area, so this mountain is also called Ta Tao..." She pointed to the tower at the end of the road in front of her, although it was far away. The outline of the village, which was still far away but already vaguely visible, said so.
We must find out what is going on here and kill the evil thieves and demons.
This is what they will do next. From now on, she no longer needs to suppress her power. Instead, she must actively use it to fight and tame it during the battle.
Although I don’t know if this method will work in the end, it does seem to make sense, and...at least the girl feels that it suits her temperament, and she likes it very much.
Blindly suppressing the blood boiling riot is easy to say, but in practice it is a very painful process, especially when this process is repeated over and over again, it is really exhausting. She has also been exhausted in the past two years. Feeling somewhat exhausted physically and mentally.
Now that she could finally stop suppressing herself, she naturally felt proud and even more energetic.
Face it, accept it, control it... This is definitely a tactical strategy that suits this daughter of the martial arts family.
"Such a big village makes a living from ironmaking, no wonder the old man takes it so seriously... But something happened to the village a few days ago?"
Gu Mo looked at the mountain road ahead, and saw a flat loess road winding to a village in the distance. The trees on the roadside were as big as an adult's arms. They were towering green mountains, ancient pines, and lush trees. The morning sunshine was just right. Through the gaps in the trees, patches of mottled light fell.
The village looks very big, with the houses stretching in groups at the foot of the mountain, surrounded by wooden fences and doors. It feels very much like the original Shisanying Village.
Moreover, there were streaks of black smoke rising inside. At first glance, there were three or five streaks.
"Indeed, that's why father wanted to send someone to check..." The second lady nodded, but her eyes looking at the village in front of her became a little cold, "But in today's world, it's often either thieves or demons who cause trouble, or both. That’s all.”
She also saw the streaks of black smoke. There were still people making iron in the village, which was obviously unusual.
After a little reasoning about this situation, it is not difficult to imagine what the situation is like. The daughter of the Wu family suddenly couldn't help but have a cold face and became murderous.
"..."
"..."
The black-haired girl on the other side pursed her thin lips and was carefully studying the village in front of her.
She was quiet, but also extremely sensitive - there was an unusually heavy smell of blood and burning, but the evil spirit was a little weak, and it only lingered deep in the mountains. The outlying villages at the foot of the mountain only had a human atmosphere, but they were also tainted with the smell of blood and killing.
Hidechiyo is kind-hearted by nature, but that doesn't mean he is simple or naive.
She could probably imagine what happened. The village was robbed. She didn't know whether it was the demons who caused trouble and started killing people first, and then bandits seized the opportunity to enter this treasured land, or... the demons were simply the robbers who attracted them. Yes, he used those monsters to attack the village and tried to reap the benefits.
After all, the dangers of human beings cannot be underestimated. She has seen many similar things before. After all, her main job is to eliminate demons, so naturally she often comes into contact with commissions related to demons and ghosts.
However, it is often discovered that what appears to be trouble caused by demons and ghosts may actually be harboring evil intentions secretly.
"Then let's go over and take a look now..."
Gu Mo withdrew his gaze from looking at the surrounding forest environment, nodded slightly, patted the horse's head, and a group of three horses approached at a brisk pace.
They had just approached the village and before they reached the gate, someone from a tall sentry tower in the village had already spotted them with sharp eyes. They immediately picked up the gong under their feet and struck the warning, while also opening their mouths to think. When he wanted to shout, a sharp arrow pierced his throat the moment he opened his mouth.
"Woo...ho ho..."
The man's eyes widened, and no matter how hard he tried, he could only make a sound like leaking air. His eyes showed confusion, fear, despair, disbelief, and other emotions. He struggled hard but still fell down weakly. The strength of the body quickly disappears along with the loss of vitality.
In the end, these slight noises naturally did not attract any attention...
On the roofs of rows of houses not far away, there are several strong and burly figures squatting on them, sweating profusely with tools, repairing the broken roofs under the scorching sun, so busy that they even sweat. I didn't have time to wipe it off, so I naturally didn't pay much attention to the situation here.
Probably they didn't expect that the "eyes" that were supposed to keep them on guard would be removed before they could even make a sound.
"Good archery skills."
The second lady's eyes were slightly bright. She looked sideways and saw someone lowering the long bow in his hand. The sharp arrow just now was shot by him. Although the distance was not too far, he could fire the bow so quickly and unparalleled on the horse. , killing directly with one arrow is quite remarkable.
"It's okay, okay, as long as you have hands..."
Gu Mo said very modestly that he once practiced the art of archery with Master Laiguang in the dojo, and he barely had a basic foundation. Now it is easy to pick it up again. And compared with the hard work and difficulty I felt before, now I just feel it is as simple as reading lines on the palm of my hand.
The comprehensive improvement of ability values, even though the current body is not as good as my original self, it is still far behind in terms of muscle strength, nerve response speed, body coordination, calculation ability or sensory perception accuracy, etc. Extraordinary and shocking.
With the substantial improvement of basic attributes, things that once seemed very difficult to do have naturally become extremely easy and casual.
While they were talking, the three of them had already approached the entrance of the village.
Unexpectedly, there was no one guarding the gate.
Maybe the mob is complacent, or maybe they feel that someone in the sentry tower inside is condescending and is always vigilant, so there is no need to allocate manpower to take charge of these things. When approaching the main gate, the second lady deliberately slowed down the horse, and when she got there, she jumped directly——
He climbed over the gate easily and landed in the village without making any sound. She looked around, then pulled out the sword from her waist with a cold face, held the sword upside down and walked forward.
Hidechiyo who was behind him sighed softly, and then looked hesitantly at the young man on the horse next to him.
"Let's go in together. The rest will be hard for you, Axiu... You have to take care of your sister and protect me." Gu Mo also calmly dismounted and said teasingly with a smile.
But the black-haired girl just stared at him, then nodded seriously and hummed softly.
He couldn't help but froze for a moment, then shook his head with a dumb smile.
The two tied their horses to the big tree next to the main entrance of the village, and followed them into the village. The village had obviously been robbed a few days ago, and some houses had been burned to the ground with only ruins left. There were mottled and solidified dark blood stains on the ground in many places.
There were no people in the outermost circle of houses, but I saw that every household had been broken open and all the belongings inside had been looted.
corpse...
Bodies of villagers are scattered everywhere, whether in the houses, in the corridors between the houses, or even hanging down from the roof. They are covered with stab wounds or died from arrows... It’s not clear what’s going on inside, at least the outside can prove it was a man-made disaster.
Moreover, the current weather is extremely hot, and now several days have passed. The skin and flesh of the corpses have gradually deteriorated, the corpses have swollen and even infested with maggots, and the stench is overwhelming... The bandits who have occupied this village have no consciousness at all, or even no consciousness at all. intend to deal with this problem.
Basically all the manpower has been concentrated and arranged to do things they think are more important.
The second young lady was full of murderous intent. After all, even if this was not a civilian in Meinong, she would be furious if she saw such a thing anywhere. Naturally, she had no reason to let go of these thugs at the moment. She secretly caught one who was counting the thugs. The room full of bald gangsters with swords and swords, after questioning to confirm that the facts were correct——
He directly beheaded the begging opponent with a single blow, and then began the process of sweeping away the rebels.
After all, they are just a group of gangsters who can be defeated easily from the front, let alone such a ghostly and secretive attack... Anyway, the "eyes" were pulled out from the beginning, and the unwary gangsters were not warned and were still immersed in it. in their delusional dreams.
Capturing such a large blacksmith village and obtaining a large number of fine armors and weapons out of thin air that had not yet had time to be transported was of great significance in this cold weapon era, especially during the Warring States Period.
Their ambitions instantly swelled to the point where they were almost lost. They were no longer satisfied with just being a group of roaming bandits as before. They suddenly discovered that they and others could get more... at least they felt that way, and they probably started dreaming about digesting it. With this batch of equipment, take control of the village and then recruit troops.
They were too scattered, lacked vigilance, and were all carried away by the ecstasy. As a result, the real owner came to the door and quietly killed them one after another.
There was not just a sentry tower outside the village, but on the roofs and high slopes, any "eyes" that might have noticed the problem were knocked out by an arrow flying at lightning speed. There was no possibility of issuing an early warning. In this way, the robbers died one after another in silence.
Just like that, Gu Mo used his bow and arrow to kill, and the second lady chopped melons and vegetables unparalleled along the way.
No one can resist them, and they cooperate very well.
But the black-haired girl behind her frowned slightly unconsciously. She always felt that something was not right. Why did she look like she didn't need her at all now... It was clear that less than a month ago, she was still protecting her. Someone came.
Why do I feel the other way around now...
He obviously came first.
