Chapter 4: Dragonfang (2/2)

Even though it stood on four legs, its eyes were already on eye level with an average human, showing exactly how large it was. This monster was stronger and more powerful than its kin!

“Run, Eleena!”

The village elder pushed the girl behind him and resolutely stood in front of her protectively along with the young man.

At this point in time, there were villagers who had already tried to attack the Dragonfang, but the monster had enough power to snap a human into two along with their weapons in one bite, and could crush a human’s head like a watermelon with a swing of its tail, not to mention those claws that could easily leave marks on the sturdiest granite.

Not only that, the Dragonfang was extremely fast and agile that even the arrows that the hunters were proud of could hit it. Even if a stray arrow hit, it would be deflected by the bone plates on the monster’s back, unable to cause any effective damage.

The villagers had no chance.

Eleena was so terrified that her knees buckled and she could barely stay standing. She knew that her presence wouldn’t have been of any help, but she couldn’t flee for life as the people she regarded as family were getting massacred in cold blood.

After blanking out from fear for a moment, she suddenly remembered someone who could help.

“Mister Xi Wei! Yes, if it’s him…”

Even though she didn’t know what type of deity the God of Games was, but she knew that if Xi Wei could appoint a Saintess, he would definitely be someone strong!

If it were him, maybe he could find a way to defeat this terrible monster!

Gathering her strength to control her legs which felt like putty, she stumbled over to the stone cottage as fast as she could.

One the way there, she tripped and fell quite a few times in her haste, bruising and wounding herself. This however, did not deter her from her goal as she gritted her teeth and braved on. Finally, she reached the stone cottage and knocked on the wooden door with all her might.

Fortunately, the door opened as it always did, revealing Xi Wei’s not-so-handsome but pleasant-looking face.

Before he could greet her, the girl shouted, “Mister Xi Wei, please help save everyone!”

“What happened?” Xi Wei asked, perplexed by how ragged the girl looked.

As a deity, Xi Wei had the ability Divine Eye, and could observe and look places and people that were not under the influence of another deity. But since he was still weak at this point, he could only see some vague images like a faulty surveillance camera. Adding onto that was the fact that using this ability required him to consume his divine energy. Therefore, he only used it once or twice on Eleena with the thoughts of wanting to understand her to convince her to join his church (and no, it’s not because he’s a pervert) before giving up on this ability entirely.

Eleena quickly explained what had happened to the village.

“Please save us!” Eleena pleaded as she cried, “If you can rescue our village, I’ll do anything, even be the Saintess!”

“Faith is not something that can be exchanged so easily,” he said calmly.

“But…” Eleena was at a loss. Other than herself, she didn’t have anything else that she could have used to exchange for his help.

“It’s okay, let me go take a look alright?”

Honestly, Xi Wei did not have any thoughts of wanting anything in return. He had just transmigrated as a deity after all, and he still had the mentality of a human being and wanted to help the villagers out.

‘But now my time in the mortal realm is going to become even lower, huh…’ he thought resignedly.
