This was the strangest village Mei Li had ever seen. Fina knocked on the second and third door, and the reaction of the other villagers was unexpectedly the same as the first old man. They did not say a word and turned back into the house to take out some food.
"Do you feel like we're beggars?"
Lilith mocked herself, and Mei Li smiled awkwardly. When she said that, she did feel that way.
"What's a beggar?"
Fina did not understand.
"A kind of person who relies on others to live, usually someone who can't live alone because of their own reasons."
Lilith's words reminded Mei Li of the beggar in the village. He was a person with some mental problems. He guarded the entrance of the village every day, helpless in the wind and rain. He never stopped. No one knew why. Until one day, there was a snowstorm. He ran out like a madman and never came back.
Obviously, Fina was not happy. She frowned, put her hands on her waist, and looked at the food she got. "We High Mountain Tribe never rely on anyone. Everyone can survive independently. I want to return these things until someone is willing to trade with us."
She really did. Fina walked back and knocked on the door again. The villagers had strange expressions. They seemed to want to say something, but for some reason, they just looked like they wanted to say something but stopped.
Until they came to the first house, the strange old man. When he saw the three persimmons that were returned, he looked confused for a moment. Then he looked at the three of them with a puzzled expression and said, "This is a gift from the Evil God. Why are you returning it to me?"
Evil God?
The three of them felt their hearts in their mouths. At that moment, Lilith suddenly turned around and looked behind her. Mei Li noticed it and looked behind her as well. She was only looking at the wooden house.
"I don't need any gifts from the Evil God. I need enough food."
"You can only get it with the Evil God's permission. Before that, you'd better obey the orders of the Evil God's daughter."
"Evil God's daughter? Who is that? "
Fina just asked this question when the old man suddenly saw something. His eyes were filled with fear, and he quickly closed the door with a bang.
The three of them turned around and saw a burly man with brown skin standing not far away. He was so tall that he did not look like a human. His head was three times the size of a normal person. Perhaps it was because his body was too big and he didn't have any suitable clothes. He just tied some linen cloth around his body, and it was very thin. The scariest thing was the cross-shaped scar on his head. It was hard to believe that someone could survive such a serious injury.
He glanced at the three of them, then turned around without saying a word and left with a huge piece of wood.
"Follow him."
However, at this moment, Lilith suddenly walked towards the strange man. Melly and Fina, who were behind her, felt strange.
"He has the power of distortion in his body, no different from the power that turns corpses into evil spirits. The only difference is that he is still alive."
Lilith explained. Hearing this, Fei Na subconsciously placed his hand on the hilt of the saber at his waist.
"In that case, this village was not attacked, and the corpses did not come back to life. This is indeed strange."
Fei Na's words made Mei Li tremble. Corpse?
She looked at the scarecrows in the village. Could it be …
Mei Li did not dare to think too much. She quickened her pace and followed closely behind the two.
The monstrous man might have known that the three of them were following behind him, but he did not react. He only walked all the way to the depths of the village and came to a new wooden house. This place was like a temple for sacrifices. There were many basins outside, piled with food, but most of them were covered by snow.
The monster suddenly stopped. The three of them stood a little further away. They saw the monster suddenly lift the piece of wood and smash it on the ground. Something amazing happened. He actually kicked the piece of wood and cracked it. Then, he bent his hands and broke it in half.
This scared Mei Li, but unexpectedly, he put the two pieces of wood on the ground, picked up the axe, and chopped them into firewood one by one.
His strength was amazing, and his body was terrifyingly strong.
Just as the monster carried the firewood that had just been chopped and returned to the house, Lilith followed him again.
"I want to see who would use such evil magic."
She held the magic staff. It seemed that a battle was unavoidable. Fei Na frowned. She handed the horse to Mei Li and asked her to guard outside the house. If the situation was not right, she would let her ride the horse and leave with the luggage.
Mei Li watched the two of them enter the house, her eyes full of worry.
Lilith pushed the door open. The magic staff in her hand emitted light, illuminating the whole house.
"People who are tainted with black magic! Show yourself! "
She shouted. There was a big fireplace in the house. The man bent down and knelt in front of the fireplace, adding firewood to the flames.
There was a blonde woman lying in front of the fireplace. She was covered in a sheepskin blanket and lying on several layers of fur.
The house was very simple, like a temporary square wooden house. There was not even a chair or table. Fei Na saw the bowl on the ground and some food residue. She ate on the ground.
"Oh, guests?"
A voice came. Lilith and Fei Na were surprised because they felt that the voice was so familiar.
She did not turn around, but from the voice, they could tell that she was very weak. Lilith said in a low voice, "I am not your guest. Every magician has the duty and responsibility to bring people who are tainted with black magic to justice."
But as soon as she finished speaking, she found that the magic power in the other party was very weak and had not been covered.
"So you are here to judge me, right?"
"No, it's just on the way. Good and evil do not coexist. We can't let magic be tainted."
Lilith looked at the other party suspiciously and was always on guard against the monster's movements.
The blonde woman stood up and turned around. When they saw her face, both of them showed a surprised expression.
"Reina?"
The two of them said in unison, but soon, they found the difference.
There was a red palm print on her face. Although she looked very similar to Reina, the two of them had completely different temperaments. Her eyes were cloudy, like a woman who had been tainted with bad habits. Moreover, Reina's hair color was white, and hers was blonde.
Although Reina's hair used to be blonde, Fei Na knew that after the training, she had proven that she was a girl of the mountains. The mountain power in her blood would show in her hair color. And the person in front of them who looked like Reina definitely did not pass the mountain trial.
"Reina? You've got the wrong person, right? But it doesn't matter. You're going to die soon anyway. "
Suddenly, her face became fierce as if she had changed into another person. She pointed at the two and shouted, "Kill them!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Lilith instantly raised her staff. Suddenly, a gust of wind blew, and the fire in the fireplace was immediately extinguished. The blonde woman screamed and was pressed against the wall by a force, unable to move.
The monster did not listen to her orders. Instead, it slowly walked in front of her, facing the two, and slowly opened its arms.
