There was a hint of fear in the eyes of the bandit leader, then he said very carefully, "To tell you the truth, Lord, we were originally normal humans, but ever since a very strange well appeared in the village, we drank the water from the well and became like this."
Lin Xiu felt very strange. What kind of well could actually change the structure of the human body? And listening to the words of the bandit leader, it didn\'t seem to be a subtle change since they were young.
"Tell me in detail." Lin Xiu scolded.
Now that his life was in the hands of others, the bandit leader naturally didn\'t dare to deceive Lin Xiu. He immediately explained everything clearly to Lin Xiu.
"About 10 years ago, an old well in our village suddenly changed. Even the walls of the well turned into jade and the well water became even more fragrant. We couldn\'t resist the temptation and took the water from the well to drink, and then something terrible happened. "The eyes of the bandit leader were filled with memories.
"It\'s strange. We were originally ordinary people, but the well water we drank seemed to have a very magical power. That night, we felt that there was endless energy in our bodies and our bodies were unbearably hot. We tossed and turned in bed and couldn\'t fall asleep for a long time. When dawn came the next day, we only slept for a short while and when we woke up, we became like this. "
"The more terrifying thing was yet to come. Since then, if we didn\'t drink the water from the well every day, we would be extremely itchy and unbearable. After a while, we accepted our fate."
When Lin Xiu heard this, he couldn\'t help but frown.
"But this is also a good thing. The disciples of the Black Demon Sect are extremely harsh in their exploitation of the territories under their rule. Because many villages can't afford to pay the heavy taxes, they are forced into poverty, some of them even in life-threatening danger. And after drinking the well water, we can even compete with people in the Bone Tempering Realm. With our protection, life in the village has become much better. "
Although Lin Xiu didn\'t fully believe the words of the bandit leader, he saw that they didn\'t seem to be lying, so he believed most of it.
"Even a Harmonious Spirit expert would find it difficult to deal with all of you working together. Why did you imprison yourselves in a village and use such a despicable method to survive?" Lin Xiu was still puzzled.
"Milord, you may not know this, but the water from the village's well is only effective if it is freshly taken. Once it is taken out for too long, it will lose its effectiveness. Furthermore, even if we can leave the village and live a good life, what about the old, weak, and sick in the village?" The bandit leader sighed.
Lin Xiu gradually felt touched. He knew that these people also had their own difficulties, so he understood their previous actions and was no longer so hostile.
"Take me to your village to take a look, maybe I can find a solution." After thinking for a while, Lin Xiu said to everyone in front of him.
At this point, whether they were willing or not, they could only bring Lin Xiu back to the village.
Following behind these small bandits, Lin Xiu silently sized up the geographical environment here.
He found that although the concentration of the spirit strength of heaven and earth was not as strong as that of the Gui Yuan Domain, the Battle Breaking Domain seemed to be filled with an aura that made people restless.
Under the influence of this aura, Lin Xiu felt that the desire to kill in his heart was magnified several times.
Under the lead of these bandits, Lin Xiu and the others gradually approached the village.
The young man on guard saw the figures of these bandits from afar and wanted to shout, but when he noticed Lin Xiu behind these people, his expression became extremely strange.
"Could it be that big brother and the others are going to bring this kid back to the village?" The young man thought silently in his heart and did not know that his so-called big brother had been completely shocked by Lin Xiu.
"Little Six, hurry up and open the village gate, can\'t you see that I\'m back?" While saying that, the bandit leader winked at the young man called Little Six.
But this young man seemed to be born with a one-track mind. Seeing his big brother winking, he was puzzled and asked directly, "Big brother, what\'s wrong with your eyes? Why are you blinking so hard? "
Cold sweat flowed down his head and the bandit leader secretly scolded his brother for being silly, then carefully observed Lin Xiu\'s expression. Seeing that the latter was not angry, he was relieved.
When they entered the village, men and women, old and young, all swarmed to the entrance of the village, wanting to see these heroes of the village and what rare things they brought back this time?
To their disappointment, unlike the previous bandit leaders, they returned empty-handed this time. Oh, no, they brought back Lin Xiu.
"I say, big brother, why didn\'t you go and search for treasures to deal with those vampires of the Black Demon Sect, why did you bring back such a burden?" Little Six shouted directly at the side, causing many villagers to look sideways. They were somewhat dissatisfied with the bandit leader and the others.
For the continuation of the village, most of the young men did not choose to drink the well water and still maintained their normal body shape.
They had once agreed that if the village really encountered an irresistible danger, they would cut off all means of retreat and use the well water to fight to the death with the enemy. The reason why the bandit leader winked at his younger brother was that he felt that the village was in a crisis of life and death and it was time to go all out.
But who would have thought that his good-for-nothing younger brother, although very strong, was not smart and did not understand what he meant at all. Now that all the villagers were gathered around Lin Xiu, he was even more cautious and did not dare to make the slightest move.
"What nonsense are you talking about, kid? This lord specially came to help us solve the problem of the strange well water. "The bandit leader was so angry at his younger brother that he couldn\'t help but reprimand loudly.
At this point, the eyes of all the villagers changed and they stared at Lin Xiu with some vigilance. The secret of the well water was the most important thing in the village and the bandit leader directly said it like this. It also made them understand that the person in front of them was probably not someone they could easily contend with.
No one was a fool. When the village was facing life and death, they quickly realized the situation they were in at the moment, so they adjusted their mentality and said respectfully to Lin Xiu, "In that case, Lord, please go to the village and rest for a while. Let us have a good discussion."
Lin Xiu saw their expressions and felt that it was funny. He said directly, "Everyone, please don't worry, I don't have any ill intentions. I just heard these big brothers talking about the well water and was a little curious, so I came over to check it out."
"Who are you lying to?" Many villagers secretly cursed in their hearts, but they did not dare to reveal the slightest clue on the surface.
The village chief was a white-haired old man with both hands holding a peach wood cane. He limped to Lin Xiu with a sincere look on his face.
