Start with a space

Zhang Xiaoshan performed magic, the light body technique.

He took a step forward, and his figure flashed like a ghost. His feet stepped on the branches and leaves, and he quickly moved through the mountains and forests.

With his best efforts, Zhang Xiaoshan arrived at the top of the mountain behind Hongye Village in just four hours.

Zhang Xiaoshan stopped, raised his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead, and took a look.

At the foot of the mountain, among the farmlands, more than forty or fifty villagers were bending over, holding hoes in both hands, working hard in the fields.

Zhang Xiaoshan did not hesitate at all. He flashed like an arrow and approached quickly, arriving near the field.

"Hey, Zhang Xiaoshan, why are you in the fields? Do you want to work with us?"

Chen Daha was working intently when he felt someone approaching. He looked up and saw Zhang Xiaoshan running towards the fields. His face lit up with joy and he grinned.

"Uncle Chen, something terrible has happened!"

"I just came back from a deep forest. I found a large amount of poisonous miasma in the forest. It is spreading rapidly and is heading towards our village!"

Zhang Xiaoshan shook his head, a trace of anxiety appeared on his face, and said.

"The poisonous miasma is spreading to our village? Impossible!"

After hearing this, Chen Daha frowned tightly, feeling something was wrong in his heart, and hurriedly said.

"Uncle Chen, it's absolutely true. The overwhelming poisonous gas is rushing towards us. I estimate that it will only take two days for it to spread to us."

Zhang Xiaoshan said hurriedly:

If the people in the whole village breathe in this poisonous miasma, they may foam at the mouth and fall to the ground and die!"

"What can we do!"

Chen Daha's face turned pale instantly and he said:

By the way, Xiaoshan, you are a cultivator, you should know how to deal with this poisonous miasma, right? "

"Uncle Chen, you are now the head of Hongye Village. Shouldn't you let everyone in the village know about this so that they can be prepared?"

Zhang Xiaoshan shook his head and said.

After hearing this, Chen Daha nodded repeatedly and said, "Yes, you are right!"

As he spoke, Chen Daha shouted to the villagers not far from the field behind him: "Go back to the village, I have something important to tell you!"

After a while, Zhang Xiaoshan, Chen Daha and others returned to the village, and the villagers, both men and women, quickly gathered together.

Zhang Xiaoshan told the villagers about the poisonous miasma he had discovered spreading deep in the forest. When the villagers heard this, they all looked panicked.

"Zhang Xiaoshan, I want to confirm again, is what you said true? Is there really a large amount of poisonous miasma spreading towards us?"

Chen Daha frowned slightly and spoke again.

"Yes, there is indeed a blanket of poisonous gas spreading towards us."

Zhang Xiaoshan said solemnly: "The reason why I rushed back from the depths of the forest is to tell you about this!

Also, if the poisonous miasma spreads to our village, if anyone breathes it, their life will be in danger!"

Suddenly, everyone's faces turned pale.

"Village Chief Chen Daha, what should we do? Should we leave immediately?"

One of the villagers quickly started shouting.

"Everyone, let's all go into the cellar together so that we can avoid the poisonous gas."

Chen Daha hesitated for a moment and spoke.

"Uncle Chen, I'm afraid this won't work!

If the poisonous gas spreads to our village, it can penetrate everywhere. Even if you hide in a cellar, the poisonous gas can easily penetrate underground."

Zhang Xiaoshan paused and continued: "

Besides, we don't know how long the poison gas will last. You can't stay in the cellar forever, or you'll suffocate to death."

"Why is the poisonous miasma spreading to our village?"

Chen Daha frowned and asked.

"There is a strange beast in the deep mountains, called the Swallowing Cloud Poison Frog. For some unknown reason, they ran out of their nests and spewed out a large amount of poisonous gas. They wanted to poison the wild beasts and strange beasts in the forest and then devour them."

Zhang Xiaoshan explained in a deep voice:

However, what I didn’t expect was that there were too many of these poison frogs, and the poison gas they spewed out was like an overwhelming force, spreading across hundreds of miles of forest.”

Chen Daha's expression changed slightly. He didn't expect that he would encounter such a difficult problem only half a year after becoming the village chief.

"Xiaoshan, do you have any way to stop the poisonous miasma from spreading into our village?"

Chen Daha hesitated for a moment, looked at Zhang Xiaoshan and said.

"I can't think of any good solution for now, but we can go to Maple Forest Town."

Zhang Xiaoshan shook his head slightly and said.

"Can we avoid the poisonous gas by going to Fenglin Town?" Chen Daha was slightly stunned and asked.

“Yes, I know that the entire Fenglin Town is controlled by three immortal cultivation families.

Furthermore, the entire city is covered with defensive formations that can block poisonous gases and even prevent birds and animals from entering Maple Forest Town."

Zhang Xiaoshan nodded and said, "That's why I wanted to make this suggestion."

"If we want to go to Fenglin Town, we will have to travel for at least four or five days. For young and strong people like us, this is nothing.

But some of the elderly, weak, women and children in the village would not be able to bear it if they were asked to travel for several days in a row."

After hearing this, Chen Daha nodded and spoke.

The villagers all nodded, thinking that the journey to Fenglin Town was a bit far and indeed difficult for the elderly, the weak, women and children.

"Uncle Chen, have you forgotten?

Didn’t we subdue a group of bandits before?

Those bandits are all skilled in martial arts, so if they are asked to carry the old, weak, sick and disabled on their backs, it shouldn’t be a problem.”

Zhang Xiaoshan smiled and said, "Moreover, their walking speed is four to five times that of ordinary people. If they run all the way, it will be no slower than the speed of a horse!"

"Is this... okay?"

Chen Daha was stunned, hesitated for a moment, and said: "Since you subdued the bandits, they have been working hard in our village and have done a lot for our villagers."

"It's already this time, why are you still worried about so many things?"

Zhang Xiaoshan smiled and said, "Besides, they were bandits before and wanted to rob our village. Now it is only right for them to do something for the village."

"Okay, then I'll send someone to call them all back from the fields."

Chen Daha nodded and said.

After a while, the people sent by Chen Daha called back hundreds of strong bandits from the fields.

The villagers were also ready. There were more than ten horse-drawn carriages in the village. Some people sat on the carriages, while the weaker ones were carried on the backs of the strong bandits.
