A moment later, Linno stood up with the help of a rock. His movements just now were a bit too loud, and someone might come to check. To avoid trouble, it was better for him to leave as soon as possible. He lived quite comfortably in the nearby village, and didn't want to move for the time being.
"Huoer."
Following his low cry, the pitch-black lake water rippled gently, as if something had broken free. Then, the lake water instantly regained its green color, but in the next moment, it began to freeze at a speed visible to the naked eye. In the blink of an eye, it had turned into a huge piece of solid white ice, and from time to time, there would be sounds of crushing and breaking.
As the lake water froze, the surrounding air became somewhat distorted, and a white fog came out of nowhere, becoming thicker and thicker.
Linno stretched out his right hand, and a flickering flame-shaped hole appeared in the thick fog, happily jumping into his palm.
With a flick of Lin Nuo's left hand's finger, a light blue flame about a foot long appeared at the tip of his finger. The ice on his body instantly disappeared, and the thick fog also retreated to a distance of ten meters away.
After the thick fog retreated, the invisible flame in his palm completely disappeared. Only the blue flame in his left hand could be seen, as if it was being sucked in by something, slowly disappearing.
Linno flicked Huoer's "head", and said, "This time, it's all thanks to you. When I recover, I'll treat you to a full meal."
If Huoer hadn't gone into the lake and created a lake of "water" that was several times colder than ice, he might not have been able to survive this time. Nowadays, the methods of the System were becoming more and more despicable.
Huoer jumped twice in his palm, and after expressing its joy in an unclear way, it jumped into his forehead. Linno turned around and left.
Since he was seriously injured last time, Linno's body had become like a sieve, and it wasn't easy for him to accumulate spiritual energy. Besides, he didn't have anything to do, so after crossing two mountains, Linno landed and walked on two legs.
After walking for a while, a "white cloud" landed and stopped three feet in front of him. Seven or eight people stood on it, looking down at him. Among them, a thirteen or fourteen year old boy asked coldly, "When you were here, did you see anything strange around you?"
Linno asked back, "What strange thing?"
The boy's expression became cold, and he was about to get angry. Someone beside him said, "He's just a mortal, what can he know? Let's go check it out quickly, or someone else will get there first. "
The boy snorted and rode the "white cloud" away. Linno heard a cold voice, "How dare you not bow in front of us immortals. Because of your ignorance, I'll only punish you lightly today. If there's a next time, you'll be killed without mercy."
As soon as he finished speaking, a yellow fireball floated over from the sky. Clearly, in order to increase its deterrence, the caster deliberately slowed down its flying speed. However, it had a lock-on function, so no matter how slow it flew, it was not something that mortals could dodge.
Linno called out "Huoer", but Huoer didn't move at all. It only showed a hint of disdain. Obviously, it thought that the fireball's level was too low, so it didn't want to eat it. Linno had no choice but to watch the fireball float into his left arm, and then he waved his hand to get rid of the impurities in it. He also hated eating this kind of low-level flame. Although he could get a little energy, there were too many impurities, which spoiled his appetite.
When he returned to the village, it was already late. Linno looked at the rising smoke with a smile on his face. In this world, what could be more warm and moving than the smoke at home and the dim light in front of the window?
However, when he got closer, he didn't hear the familiar laughter of the children. Instead, he smelled a faint smell of blood. Linno frowned slightly and followed the smell of blood to Huzi's house at the entrance of the village. When he entered the door, he saw Huzi lying on the kang with a big hole in his chest. Huzi's mother was holding Huzi's body and trembling with tears, but she didn't dare to make any sound.
Linno stood quietly and didn't make any sound. When he went out a few days ago, Huzi was still holding his leg and pestering him to bring back a live rabbit. Huzi's black eyes were curved into crescents when he smiled, and his white teeth were not yet fully grown when he opened his mouth, which made people's heart soften.
In the end, Lin Nuo still failed to bring back the little rabbit that he promised. However, Huzi could no longer jump up. He looked at Lin Nuo with his big eyes shrouded in mist. Only when Lin Nuo took out the grass grasshopper from his pocket would he smile again.
The sound of hurried footsteps came from behind. Lin Nuo turned around and saw Huzi's father and three older brothers coming out of the room with shovels and kitchen knives in their hands. Their faces were filled with grief, anger, and fear.
"Don't go! Don't go! " Huzi's mother rushed out and blocked the door with tears in her eyes. Her voice was shrill, "If you want to go out, you have to kill me first! Let me die first! Let me die first! "
Huzi's eldest brother cried out, "Mother! My brother can't just … "
Huzi's mother plopped down on the ground and hugged Huzi's father's leg. She sobbed, "… I don't have Huzi anymore. I beg you, even if it's for me … Don't die, I beg you, don't die … Wu wu …"
She knelt on the ground and held the person in her arms tightly. She was afraid that if she let go, he would become a cold corpse like Huzi.
Feeling his wife's fear and despair, Huzi's father dropped the shovel in his hand and hugged his trembling wife. The other children rushed up and cried together.
How could they not know that what awaited them was only death? They didn't even have the ability to splash blood on that person's clothes … But how could they bear it? How could they bear it?!
After a moment of silence, Linno turned around and went out. Outside the door, a six or seven-year-old boy was waiting for him, "Uncle, my father was afraid that you would cause trouble, so he asked me to come to the village entrance to welcome you."
Linno made a sound of acknowledgment and didn't say anything.
The boy wiped his tears and said, "An hour ago, some immortals came to the village and killed Huzi's cow. Huzi was so angry that he went up to question them, and …"
"Where are they?"
"Over at the threshing field …" The boy was halfway through his sentence when he saw Lin Nuo's feet change direction. He was instantly scared out of his wits. He pounced on Lin Nuo and hugged his leg tightly. He cried loudly, "Uncle, uncle! Don't go … Uncle, I'm scared … Don't die, don't die … "
Linno bent down and picked up the boy. He wiped the tears on his little face with his fingertips and said with a smile, "Good boy, Dog is so cute. How can I bear to die? I won't die. "
He walked slowly to the threshing field with the Dog in his arms. The Dog seemed to realize something. He stopped crying with tears in his eyes and hugged his neck tightly. On the way, there were a few more people behind them. Huzi's mother couldn't keep the men in the family, so she had to pick up the kitchen knife and walk out of the house with them.
Huzi's elder brother was holding Huzi's corpse in his arms … Since they were going to die, it was better for the family to die together.
There were a lot of people on the threshing field. They were killing chickens, slaughtering sheep and roasting cows. These people lowered their heads and did their work silently. Suddenly, someone noticed this group of people and became anxious. He waved his hand and asked them to leave quickly.
Several people sitting on the other side drinking tea and chatting didn't care about the arrival of Linno and the others. The thirteen or fourteen-year-old boy in the middle snorted, "I clearly felt the shaking of heaven and earth and the scattering of Reiki, but there was nothing but a large piece of ice. Someone must have taken advantage of it!"
"It's also possible that there were experts fighting there, leaving behind traces …"
Linno held the little boy in his arms. He walked forward slowly and asked, "Why did you kill them?"
The young man in white who was interrupted by him raised his hand and shot out a clear light. He said casually, "Reckless things."
He turned back and continued, "… The people who fought were at least masters of the Gold Core Stage. They could freeze the whole lake at once …"
He didn't finish his words. He opened his eyes wide and watched the man in front of him pinch his neck and lift him up from the stool. He smiled gently at the child in his arms, "Are you afraid of death?"
The Dog shook his head with tears in his eyes, "No!"
He wasn't afraid of death. He was only afraid that the people around him would die.
The young man had a bad premonition in his heart. His eyes widened and his mouth opened and closed. Unfortunately, he couldn't make any sound. The corpse with its neck broken was thrown to the side.
"You … you …"
Linno's eyes swept over the several people who were scared silly. Finally, his eyes fell on the young man. He still asked, "Why did you kill them?"
The young man's lips trembled slightly. Until now, he still didn't feel any Reiki from this person. For this to happen, it wasn't that this person was really a mortal, but that his cultivation was far beyond his imagination.
He forced himself to calm down, stood up and saluted, "I didn't know that senior was here. I was rude. I'm Zhuo Ying, I'm … "
Linno interrupted, "Why did you kill them?"
Zhuo Ying's gaze swept over Hu Zi's body, and she said, "That child made a big fuss in front of this junior, and was too rude, so this junior punished him a little … Now that I think about it, I really shouldn't have bothered with a child. In a moment, this junior will … Uh, Se … Senior …"
But his neck was pinched by a hand.
Linno said indifferently, "Since you killed someone for no reason, then you should pay with your life. What's with all this nonsense."
Zhuo Ying was scared out of her wits. She knew that in the next moment, this person would break her neck without hesitation. She screamed, "He's just an ant-like mortal. His lifespan is only a few decades. Sooner or later, he'll die. So what if I killed him? What's the big deal …"
Her voice stopped abruptly.
Linno threw away his corpse. The remaining six white clothed "immortals" finally reacted. They took out their magic tools and surrounded him, but didn't dare to make a move. One of them shouted, "For a mere mortal, you dare to kill our young master. Do you know who our young master is …"
Linno said, "He's just a foundation establishment stage cultivator. His lifespan is not more than 300 years. So what if I killed him? What's the big deal." It was the words of the young man from before.
That person choked and said, "Our young master is still a child. What's wrong with him …"
Linno turned his head and looked at him. He asked curiously, "Are you trying to reason with me?"
That person said proudly, "That's right! Although senior's cultivation is outstanding, you still can't … "
He stopped talking halfway. He lowered his head and looked at his empty chest. There was only a big hole left. He slowly fell down.
Linno said, "Just now, when Huzi came to reason with you, he seemed to have gotten this answer … I hope I didn't answer wrongly. I've always liked people who reason, and I'm also willing to reason with others."
But in this world, there were always some people who would only reason with people who were stronger than them. Every time he met this kind of person, Linno was never willing to waste his breath. He would just kill them. Because for these people, reason was no longer reason. It was a tool to hurt others and protect themselves.
No one dared to answer him. Although the remaining five people were still "surrounding" him, they were trembling all over. They couldn't even hold the weapons in their hands tightly. No one knew if this person in front of them would kill them for some inexplicable reason in the next moment.
Fear was like a big hand, firmly grasping their hearts. At this moment, they finally understood how those mortals felt in front of them — — there was no reason to reason, no justice to speak of. Life and death depended on whether other people were happy or not.
Linno was a bit bored. He was not a person who liked to kill. He was not willing to kill people who had lost their courage. But he also knew that although these people were weak and harmless in front of him, once the threat was gone, they would reveal a ferocious face that was more terrifying than a tiger or a poisonous snake.
Just by looking at the bloody light above their heads, he knew that countless innocent people had died tragically in their hands.
