Chapter 63 Confrontation
The villagers of Taoyuan Village are very depressed these days. At this moment, the village chief is standing at the entrance of the village with a pale face. Several people from the Taoyuan Guard have even unsheathed swords. A trace of sword energy on the sword edge is flashing. It is their existence that makes the players outside the village still have a sense of reason in their hearts.
"Village Chief! Now we have absolute evidence to prove that the murderer is in Taoyuan Village, and they are not humans at all, but demons!" The person who volunteered to come out to negotiate with the village chief was the man who was warned by the village chief for spreading rumors two days ago. After receiving the arena mission prompt, he became excited and wanted to regain the humiliation he had been taught by the indigenous people.
The village chief of Taoyuan Village is an old man over 70 years old. His temples are gray and he is leaning on a crutch, but he is in good spirits. He looks around with a strong look and sings, and he whispers: "I have lived and worked in Taoyuan Village for hundreds of years and have never seen any monsters and monsters. I will not let the villagers suffer any unreasonable suspicion!"
"Immortal thing! You're looking for death!"
"Stop talking nonsense! Beat them to death!"
"Go ahead! Think about so many honor points and rewards!"
Some remarks suddenly came to mind among the players, and with the help of all kinds of intentional or unintentional impulses, the voices of such remarks are getting louder and louder, and the crowd is constantly approaching the entrance of the village, and some people's spears, swords, staffs and guns are lit up.
In the face of the absolute interests related to life and death, human nature is nothing but worthless garbage.
Although there were some people who were a little rational were constantly persuading: "Everyone is calm! Think about it, if you have broken relationships with Taoyuan Village, we will have to have another enemy besides the demon clan!"
"Maybe this old man is the demon clan! Let's kill him first!" someone shouted.
The village chief was so angry that his face turned pale. The Taoyuan Guard quickly pushed the village chief back. The sword light in their hands became more and more powerful. Although the sword energy was an unattainable thing for the players of the Black Iron Arena, if a few strong veterans united and the number of guards was not large, they could fight.
The air at the village head was solidified, and a fight was about to break out. For players, killing a few natives was not much psychological burden, not to mention that some people had such an idea in their minds: if you want to get to the ground and find the demon clan first and get the honor point reward, the fastest way is to kill someone as soon as you see them. You would rather kill them by mistake than let anyone go!
At this critical moment, a villager man hurried over, attached himself to the village chief's ear and muttered for a while. The village chief's face suddenly turned pale, and his wrinkled face seemed to have become even older in an instant. He sighed, walked over and waved his hand, shook his head at the guards and said, "Let them come in."
"Are they back?" The leader of the guard was a strong man in his thirty years old. There was a rare slight slight wave on his face, which was like a dead fish...
"What should come is still not to escape!" The old man sighed to the sky, turned to the players, and said in a deep voice: "You can let you in, but there are several conditions that must be agreed. First, don't kill the villagers indiscriminately. Second, if you really capture the lurking demon clan, I hope it can be handed over to me! And when it comes to capturing the demon clan, I will provide all conveniences."
What happened caused a 360-degree change in the village chief's attitude.
The players whispered and quickly agreed. It would be better to avoid fighting with the guards. However, as for capturing or bringing back the corpse, they had the final say.
The players came in again in a mighty manner, with a scene of the Japanese entering the village, but they soon had to face a problem awkwardly. Although Taoyuan Village is not a large population, it is still very difficult to find the hidden demon clan from nearly a thousand people.
"Sure enough, it's better to kill them all?" Someone started muttering again, and then he soon felt the fierce sword energy moving behind him. The guy decisively closed his mouth.
No matter what, as long as it is not a forced one, they do not want to have any conflict with the Taoyuan Guard, which has sword energy.
"First of all, we must sort and count the people in the village one by one. Anyway, there are more people than them. I suggest that you investigate in groups. As for whether you can find the demon clan and get the reward, it depends entirely on your own abilities. How about it?"
Without the threat from the Taoyuan Village Guards, someone soon noticed the threat from the insiders. Everyone wanted to take such a generous reward by themselves, and understood that this was almost impossible, so the last proposal was made.
"That won't work. Some people must be more suspicious. Isn't it lucky that those who were grouped to investigate them? I don't agree!"
"Why don't you draw lots!"
"It's a big deal to draw lots! I'm asking everyone to find their own skills, whoever finds them is the one who can count on it!"
"You are too inefficient! Don't forget that we only have one week. If someone deliberately causes trouble for others, it is very likely that no one will find the demon clan in a week."
...
Optimistically, they still have one week left. In order to ensure the distribution of benefits, no one lets others leave first. They plan to set a rule first. Even if people with poor strength think they can't beat the demon clan, the rules are very clear. They only found that there are 200 honor points rewards, and they are also eager to try.
"A bunch of idiots!" Zhang Kai cursed in a deep voice, then turned around and left. Someone wanted to stop him, but was frightened by his poor expression. He could not kill the other party between the same camps, but it would be fine if it was just a fight.
"Zhang Kai, do you have any clues?" Zhang Kai's companion chased after him and asked in a low voice.
"I don't have clues, but someone will definitely have clues!" Zhang Kai's face was a little gloomy.
"who?"
"Xiao Yi!"
"Oh, I remember, the newcomer you mentioned two days ago. I heard that he has been wandering around every day and then returning to the hotel to paint and draw. He must have given up on himself."
Xiao Yi came to Taoyuan Village several times in a few days, collecting NPC information everywhere, which made many players know him. Of course, they didn't think that Xiao Yi's behavior would be of any help, it was just a futile act of giving up on himself.
But when Zhang Kai mentioned Xiao Yi again, his companions seemed to have thought of something, and immediately changed color and exclaimed: "Damn it! If you want to find the lurking demon clan without killing people, you must have some understanding of every villager. No one of us can know better than Xiao Yi!"
"Damn it! Don't say so loudly!" Zhang Kai cursed in a low voice, and then the two of them looked around and saw that no one had noticed it, so they left silently and quickly.
The two did not notice. Not long after they left, a girl also turned around and muttered to herself in surprise and confusion: "Xiao Yi? Xiao Yi! Isn't what I saw that day really an illusion?"
Chapter completed!
