Zhang Tie stayed in Xujia Village for one day.
On this day, under the leadership of Liu Xing, Zhao Bing and Wu Yinhui, his 53 LV 9 apprentices wandered around within 50 miles in Xujia Village. As expected, they caught 6 alive bloody figures.
When the 6 bloody figures were caught by Liu Xing, Zhao Bing and Wu Yinhui, all of their limbs had been broken. Only their heads could move. Plus the 2 bloody figures that Zhang Tie left in Xujia Village, Zhang Tie had 8 living bloody figures in total.
With the arrival of the reinforcements from Xingyu City, the conflagration in Xujia Village was soon put out. Closely after that, Xujia Village started to deal with the aftermath.
Xujia Village originally had a population of 769 people. After a night of killing and fire, only 83 people survived, including those who were seriously injured. The rest of the people either became ghosts under the machetes or were buried in the sea of fire. The most miserable ones were some children of the Xu Family, who became food in the stomach of the bloody men.
Xujia Village had completely become ruins.
The reinforcement from Xingyu City was led by a general surnamed Lu. After confirming what happened in Xujia Village, General Lu instantly passed the news back to Xingyu City. As a result, the entire Xingyu City and its surroundings were in a panic.
Xujia Village and Xingyu City were in Shanghe Prefecture of Mingzhou Province. Shanghe Prefecture of Mingzhou Province bordered Longxi Prefecture of Zhongzhou Province. However, Xujia Village and Xingyu City were over 2,000 miles away from Pingsha Valley of Longxi Prefecture.
Only after a few days, some bloody figures had already rushed out of Zhongzhou Province and eroded the land within 600 miles.
As for big cities which had long made sufficient preparations, these bloody figures couldn't do anything to those cities; however, for villages outside cities like Xujia Village, a group of LV 9 bloody figures could bring a catastrophe to such a place.
There were so many small villages like Xujia Village which were far away from prosperous cities across Taixia Country. However, not each of them could have a LV 10 strong fighter like Xu Yian on his back. Generally speaking, most of the young people who had reached LV 6 in the small villages outside the city would go out to explore the world, as they were not willing to stay in the village. There were very few people who would stay in the village after reaching LV 9. In such a small village, a dozen or so LV 9 bloody figures could turn the village into ruins in one night.
As an earth knight like Zhang Tie appeared in Xujia Village and saved many people from the bloody figures who raided Xujia Village, General Lu from Xingyu City and some bounty criminal hunters who directly jumped off the airship by rotary-wing parachutes came here to greet Zhang Tie respectfully.
From General Lu and those bounty criminal hunters, Zhang Tie learned a lot of first-hand intelligence.
The chaos in Longxi Prefecture of Zhongzhou Province was still in the ascendant. It was still fine in the big cities because they had learned a lesson. Every city had entered a state of combat readiness and there were heavy patrols day and night. However, many places outside the cities were already in a great mess because of the appearance of bloody figures. Those bloody figures were scattered into countless small groups and attacked villages, towns and various traffic arteries day and night. They even destroyed railways and spread around like a poisonous stream, which gave people a headache.
In recent days, bloody figures had appeared in Shanghe Prefecture of Mingzhou Province and started to commit crimes everywhere. All the garrisons in the cities in Shanghe Prefecture had received the news and started to patrol within 200 miles of Xingyu City in case of bloody figures. Compared to the garrisons in Xingyu City, this was the limit that Xingyu City could take care of. However, nobody could imagine that the disaster could happen in Xujia Village. As a result, Xingyu City couldn't find the problem at once. The garrisons in Xingyu City didn't arrive here until they received the news from an airship. Unimaginably, they were still one step late.
Because of the event in Zhongzhou Province, all the major cities in Taixia Country were strictly inspecting these days. The atmosphere was a bit intense. Even airboats would be checked and interrogated when they passed by these major cities for supplies.
General Lu expressed his gratitude to Zhang Tie solemnly. Additionally, he told Zhang Tie that if Zhang Tie passed by Xingyu City, he would try his best to provide convenience for Zhang Tie and the others.
General Lu paid a visit to Zhang Tie in the morning. At noon, some bounty criminal hunters also arrived.
Since Zhang Tie met Li Butian and Yang Zhigang, he had already had a good impression about bounty criminal hunters in Taixia Country. In Zhang Tie's opinion, Taixia Country was too large. There were all kinds of birds in a big forest. Bounty criminal hunters were like white blood cells in Taixia Country and woodpeckers in the forest. The existence of bounty criminal hunters was an indispensable link to maintain the ecological system of Taixia Country. These bounty criminal hunters played a very positive role. In places where the official and Supreme Court of Taixia Country couldn't manage, they could provide a good channel to vent the battle strength of Taixia Country. This profession combined the chivalry spirit of Taixia Country with the legal system required by the official and found a balance between the two. As a result, bounty criminal hunters became an important part of the public security force in Taixia Country. Besides complementing the Supreme Court, they could provide a way for cultivators to make money and promote themselves.
Because of this reason, Zhang Tie met those bounty criminal hunters without putting on any airs.
From those bounty criminal hunters, Zhang Tie learned that the Supreme Court and the Buildings of Brightness across Taixia Country had officially issued a bounty for killing bloody figures in Zhongzhou Province.
The bounty for killing bloody figures in the Buildings of Brightness was very high. As long as one brought a bloody figure's head there, one could easily exchange it for 5,000 gold coins.
5,000 gold coins for killing a LV 9 bloody figure was definitely a generous reward. It was much higher than that of many LV 9 fugitives on the wanted list. As for many bounty criminal hunters above LV 10, it was nothing different than sending money to them.
Being stimulated by the bounty, all the bounty criminal hunters who could come to Zhongzhou Province and felt that they were powerful had converged towards Zhongzhou Province.
When those bounty criminal hunters paid a visit to Zhang Tie, they had already heard that Zhang Tie had caught two bloody figures alive. Therefore, they wanted to take a look at their looks. After hearing this request, Zhang Tie had someone take them into the cell of the airboat to see the two bloody figures.
It was difficult to tell the difference between these bloody men and ordinary people just by looking at their appearance. However, there were two things that made these bloody men very different from ordinary people. This difference was manifested in two aspects. The first was that these bloody men could not speak. The second was that these bloody men had two very obvious blood lines in their eyeballs. They were somewhat ferocious, but also very special. As long as one looked at their eyes, one would be able to tell that they were different from ordinary people …
