619 She Shouldnst Appear! (1/2)
Chapter 620 - She Shouldn't Appear!
The sun was setting.
Under the mountains, there is a small mountain village. The radiance from the sunset projected a red-orange sky. A loud cry could be heard from far away within the village.
”Hao Er~”
The sound traveled for quite a distance. It was the voice of a certain child.
”Humph! This bad kid, he's hiding here again.”
A little girl ran to a giant tree in the distance with her little feet. As she reached there, a figure was lying there, minding his own business with a straw hat covering his face as he slept soundly.
”Bad brother!”
”Get up!”
The little girl angrily kicked him.
”Ouch~”
The pain caused him to suck in a mouthful of cold air. Standing up abruptly, his straw hat fell, revealing a 13-year-old boy's face.
”Hey little brat. You are too mean with your move!”
”Humph, who asks you to be lazy!”
The little girl pouted. ”Go home soon; it's time to eat. Everyone is looking for you. If we can't find you, we will suffer together.”
”Alright, alright. I will go back now.”
The young boy happily rubbed the little girl's hair and then went back together. However, as he left, that young boy looked at the mountains with some awkwardness.
”What happened?”
The little girl's senses are sharp.
”Somehow I feel that something isn't right.”
The young boy shook his head, ”Perhaps it's just my imagination. Alright, let's go. Time for dinner.”
”En...”
One tall, one short, two figures walked back to the village under the sunset. Their shadows were getting longer and longer. However, the shadow was a little strange, but it seemed that no one noticed it.
This is an ordinary village.
Hunting for a living, the young ones in the village cultivate to become stronger so they can defeat beasts! The young boy is also from the village, but he is the only exception because he can't cultivate. It's strange because everyone else could do so yet he can never improve his strength.
Forget about him.
Even if it is energy coming from others, it will avoid him too.
The young boy had been puzzled with this problem since the first day.
In the village, this phenomenon is named Tainted Demon. The young man was unintentionally contaminated with something that caused energy to avoid approaching him, making him have no power.
Since then, the young man had become the village's outcast.
Time flew by and one month had passed.
The life in the village was as calm as always. Every day, the young man does the same thing. He would go out and look through some books each day, hoping to crack this issue.
However, nothing was achieved.
If this situation stays the same, this young boy would spend his life here until he's old and return to the earth when he dies.
Today, while the young man was reading a book, he suddenly felt a tremble coming from the ground. When he went out to have a look, he heard a scream from the villagers. It turned out that bandits are here!
”Hand over 3,000 catty of meat, or you will all die.”
The bandit leader's stare was filled with dense murderous intent.
The villagers were terrified.
However, they had no strength to resist the other party. Thus, all they could do is to give away the meat that is prepared for the upcoming winter. Only then did the bandits feel satisfied. As they were about to leave, they suddenly halted because they saw a little girl.
A beauty.
”Hey, this small village actually has a pretty little girl?”
Each bandit had their eyes light up.
The little girl was so scared that she took some steps back. The villagers tried to plea for her, but their efforts were in vain. When the young man arrived, he witnessed this scene.
”It's you guys again!”
The young boy was furious.
In the past, they would only request for meat; but today, they had turned their attention to the little girl. This is simply not something bearable anymore! Inexplicably, anger began to brim within the young man's body.
”Brother...” The girl timidly hid behind the young man.
”Smirk, just a little brat, yet you dare mess around in front of us?” The bandit leader said furiously and took out a whip.
Snap!
A crisp sound of the whip rang.
The young man now was decorated with a bloody-red imprint.
He frowned, but there was not the slightest hint of fear from him.
”What courage!”
The leader's anger went up a notch and took out a blade to slash at the young boy. The incoming blade looked sharp and terrifying!
Puff~
The blade penetrated into the boy's body.
A huge bloody wound appeared on the boy's body, and this blade almost killed him. However, he still stubbornly looked at the bandit leader and shouted, ”Get lost!”
”Great!” The bandit leader's voice sounded cold.
This boy in front of him had that kind of fearless eyes, as if he was looking at a dead man, really annoyed him. He really wished to see if this young boy could stay indifferent all the time.
”Kill the girl.”
With a command...
A bandit followed the order and took out a bow and arrow quickly.
Swish!
A cold light flashed.
”You dare?!”
The boy finally showed his temper and reached out his right hand to grab the arrow. He had a feeling that he could actually catch it.
Swish!
The arrow passed through his hand.
The boy had some lingering fear. He didn't fear death, but this arrow penetrated his hand and hit the little girl's body behind him.
Puff~
A bloody flower bloomed.
”Little Ting!”
The young boy's body was cold as it was covered with blood. This blood originated from the little girl. He hurriedly supported her up, but all he grabbed on was a pair of hands with no strength.
”You...!”
The boy's eyes on the bandit leader finally showed signs of change.
His glare was filled with murderous intent.
”Hahaha, this is the expression I like.”
The bandit leader laughed loudly, ”I have been here for decades and visited this village several times. Yet, I have never seen you or that little girl before. Who are you two?”
