The big fire outside had already caused a part of a wooden building on one side to collapse. Commoners could never stay in such a situation; however, it was nothing for Zhang Tie.
In the collapsed building, there were several corpses that had been burnt black. The scene was filled with a nauseating smell.
At the sight of a cellar and someone in it, Zhang Tie flew over here and opened the entrance of the cellar gently so as to take the person out of there.
There were some air vents in this cellar. Therefore, those people in the cellar were not suffocated to death.
When the cellar was opened, a person charged out of there with a dagger in hand. She stabbed it towards Zhang Tie without even looking at him. Zhang Tie caught her wrist. She then raised her head and threw an extremely hateful glance at Zhang Tie with tears, "You beasts...". Closely after that, she opened her mouth and bit Zhang Tie's wrist ferociously.
She was a 17-year old girl. Her face was covered with dust and tears. It seemed that she had lost her mind. Being stimulated by fear and hatred, she had passed out when she bit Zhang Tie.
Watching this girl biting him ferociously, Zhang Tie faintly frowned. Closely after that, he caught her and left the cellar. In the blink of an eye, he had arrived at the grain-sunning ground. By wriggling his hand muscles, he had easily moved his hand away from the girl's mouth. After that, he handed the girl to those people in the grain-sunning ground.
"What happened?" Watching this girl biting Zhang Tie tightly with a dagger in hand, Bai Suxian asked out of curiosity.
"Her family members might have been killed. I saved her from the cellar. However, she probably thought that I was one of those bloody figures. Therefore, she stabbed her dagger towards me without even looking at me. Later on, she even bit my hand. As she was too emotional, she passed out at once!" Zhang Tie explained it to Bai Suxian. After that, he disappeared from the grain-sunning ground once again.
Besides this girl, Zhang Tie also saved some batches of people. Some kids escaped by jumping into the well at home at the order of their family members.
When these people were rescued, some of them were still crying, struggling, kicking and screaming like that girl. Not until Zhang Tie put them on the side of the grain-sunning ground did they recover their composure after hearing the explanation of the tough man who was waving the Ghost Head Saber.
After saving all the living people, Zhang Tie also saved some severely wounded ones or those who were dying or dying in the houses and took them to the grain-sunning ground of the village.
Under the command of that tough man, the grain-sunning ground was simply cleaned up and served as a temporary settlement of this village. Bai Suxian then took out her portable medicaments and guided those young survivors on how to use those medicaments to save people.
Those young people who survived the disaster looked at Bai Suxian as if they were looking at a fairy.
It was Zhang Tie's first time to find such a side of Bai Suxian's personality.
Perhaps Bai Suxian's appearance was too eye-catching or Bai Suxian's qi field was too powerful; additionally, she had been used to command people since she was young. After doing all these things, Zhang Tie found that Bai Suxian had already become the boss in the grain-sunning ground of the village. Everybody was following her command.
After putting down the last person who had been saved from the fire, Zhang Tie called Fire Dragon Airboat by remote-sensing crystal finger ring. Closely after that, Bai Suxian came over with the tough man who was waving the dagger.
The tough man's wounds had been treated; however, he was still a bit dispirited spiritually with a weak and gloomy look. If Zhang Tie's group had arrived a few minutes later, nobody in this village would have been alive.
"Xu Yian thanks Fire Dragon Hermit for saving our lives on behalf of all the survivors in Xujia Village!"
Bai Suxian might have already told the tough man about Zhang Tie's identity. Therefore, the tough man bowed deeply towards Zhang Tie the moment he came over.
Additionally, Zhang Tie was completely sincere in saving people. He didn't put on airs just because he was an earth knight. After entering the fire and saving people one after another, he flew back and did everything by himself. This tough man had witnessed all these. Therefore, he respected Zhang Tie sincerely.
Zhang Tie was interested in the LV 10 battle qi totem that this tough man released just now. When in Waii Subcontinent, as there were very few mutated beasts above LV 10 in the underground world of Waii Subcontinent, most of the cultivators couldn't find the soul fire of a LV 10 mutated beast to integrate with their battle qi after promoting to LV 10. Therefore, they just lived with a "white board totem". Even Zhang Tie had not absorbed the soul fire of a mutated beast on this level during the period from LV 10 to a knight. Therefore, it was very fresh for Zhang Tie to see a LV 10 fighter's battle qi totem. It was even rarer than seeing a knight.
The so-called differences in cultivation resources between continents were manifested in these places. Taixia Country had a vast territory and abundant resources. Mutated beasts above LV 10 which could barely be seen in the underground world of other subcontinents could definitely be found in Taixia Country. Additionally, there were more mutated beasts between LV 6 and LV 9 in Taixia Country than that in other subcontinents.
"Do you feel better?" Zhang Tie asked.
"Thanks for your concern, Hermit. Miss Bai gave me a vial of medium-level recovery medicament. I feel much better now. I won't die!" Xu Yian grinned as he wanted to smile; however, he didn't.
"What's going on?"
"Speaking of which, I don't know what happened. All of a sudden, I felt like being on a battlefield as miserable shrieks came from the village. Before I took those young men to check what happened, over 10 bloody figures had rushed over here and surrounded us in the grain-sunning ground. If I didn't train these young men in Xujia Village every day these years and have them practice with me every day before daybreak, I'm afraid that nobody in Xujia Village would survive this time..." Xu Yian said bitterly.
Xu Yian was the one with the highest battle strength in Xujia Village. Previously, he served as a soldier. Later on, he was a bounty criminal hunter for a period. In recent years, as the holy war broke out, he returned to Xujia Village and started to train young men in Xujia Village so that they could protect themselves in the chaos of war.
However, there was only one Xu Yian in Xujia Village. It was Xu Yian who saved these young men in Xujia Village today. Without this LV 10 strong fighter, nobody in Xujia Village would be alive before the arrival of Zhang Tie and Bai Suxian.
Soon after Xu Yian talked with Zhang Tie for a short while, the sky suddenly turned dark. Xu Yian raised his head as he caught sight of the slowly descending Iron-Dragon Airboat. Even though Xu Yian had seen the world, he was still shocked by the 600-m long airboat. Therefore, he couldn't utter a word for quite a while.
Those young men who survived the catastrophe in Xujia Village were also in an uproar at this moment. The descending airboat brought them a great stress.
As Xu Yian had seen the world, he was shocked at this moment. Because Xu Yian knew that those sects and clans who had airboats in Taixia Country were not commoners. Even many knight clans and major clans didn't have airboats, not to mention commoners. The size of the airboat in Taixia Country indirectly indicated the status of the owner of the airboat. The standard length of the airboat of a commander of a military region in Taixia Country was only about 500 m. This airboat was almost 600 m in length, which was one level higher than that of a commander of a military region in Taixia Country. The owner of such an airboat must have a high status.
As the airboat was too long and large, there was no place for it to stop across Xujia Village. Finally, the airboat hovered on a hillside over 200 m away from the grain-sunning ground. After putting down the rope, Zhang Tie's 121 apprentices got off the rope and rapidly converged with Zhang Tie in the grain-sunning ground.
As Zhang Tie's apprentices got off the airboat, there was a team of 49 elite bodyguards on Bai Suxian's side. The head of those bodyguards was a LV 15 battle spirit. With those bodyguards operating the airboat, Zhang Tie didn't worry about anything.
When the 121 apprentices of Iron-Dragon Sect passed by Xujia Village, many of them were shocked. The big fire in Xujia Village and the corpses on both sides of the street made many young disciples' faces turn pale. At the sight of the half-burnt corpses and the broken bodies of some kids being eaten by bloody figures, some female disciples had started to throw up before they arrived at the grain-sunning ground.
Liu Xing and the other guys looked pretty bad too. Even though they had experienced the cruelty of the battlefield in the Earth-elements Realm, they still felt their hearts wavering at the sight of this small village covered with corpses. They felt that such a tragic scene should not appear in the territory of Taixia Country at all...
What they saw at the scene brought a great shock to their hearts.
When the 121 apprentices of Iron-Dragon Sect arrived at the grain-sunning ground, it had just broken dawn.
"Master!" All the apprentices bowed towards Zhang Tie.
After throwing a glance at those disciples with pale faces, Zhang Tie opened his mouth, "LV 9 disciples, led by Liu Xing, Zhao Bing and Wu Yinhui, divide into three squads and search around this village. Check whether there are any more bloody figures within 30 miles. If there are, catch them alive. As long as they are still breathing, I don't care if they have broken hands or feet. If you can't catch them alive, kill them on the spot. If you meet a powerful enemy or danger, send a signal and wait for me. As for the others, stay here and help me deal with the funeral affairs..."
