My Heaven-Defying Spirit

Looking at the lean man who was blocking the two of them, Ming Huaishang's face condensed. He took out the black long sword that he had used to travel, and was about to attack. When the scarred man saw this scene, his expression also changed. He hurriedly shouted towards the village, and dozens of figures walked out of the village in an instant. They were all middle-aged men, and more or less held a low-level magic weapon in their hands. Therefore, most of them were at the Body Tempering Realm and the Qi Condensation Realm. However, there was an outstanding one among them. The pressure he exuded was almost the same as that of Ming Huaishang and Luo Hong. It should be a strong man in the Floating Sea Realm.

However, just when the two sides were on the verge of a fight, a hand appeared between the two people who were trying to instigate. Upon closer inspection, the person was Luo Hong.

When Ming Huaishang was somewhat confused, Luo Hong's next move surprised him.

He skillfully took out a small silver bag from his storage bag. There was a sound of stones colliding in it. Ming Huaishang saw it and knew that it was actually filled with spirit stones. Judging from the sound, there should be more than 500 spirit stones.

Luo Hong handed the space bag containing the spirit stone to the scarred man, and then patted the man on the shoulder.

"Brother, I'm sorry, this is my first time here and I don't know the rules."

The scarred man took the silver bag, untied the rope, looked inside, and his originally cold eyes suddenly turned into a smile. Then he waved his hand and said

"It's okay, it's okay. Since this is your first time, you should be more considerate."

Then the scarred man asked everyone to disperse, leaving one person to lead Ming Huaishang and others into the village.

The village is not big, covering an area of ​​only a few hundred square meters. The houses in the village are all adobe houses, but there are quite a few families, about 60 or 70 families. The young and middle-aged people just now should also be locals in the village.

The man in front led Ming Huaishang and others to an adobe house, and the two walked in. Before entering the house, Luo Hong stuffed a hundred spirit stones into the man's hand. After receiving the spirit stones, the man's originally stern face also smiled and said

"If you need anything at night, just go to the village entrance and call me. My name is Xiaohu, and the scarred man is my elder brother, Dahu."

Luo Hong smiled and nodded

Don't be fooled by the adobe houses in the village. They are well-equipped and clean. You can wash and brush your teeth. There are also toilets. The beds are covered with the fur of some monsters, which should be very soft to sleep on. The ground is also covered with soft grass.

But Ming Huaishang didn't care about these things at this time. He had settled down in this world for a long time and gradually became familiar with some of the customs here. He didn't have too many requirements.

What he was more concerned about was why Luo Hong had to give the scarred man a lot of spirit stones when he entered the village just now, and the amount was not small.

As if seeing Ming Huaishang's doubt, Luo Hong said with a smile

"It seems that Senior Brother has never walked in the woods at night."

Ming Huaishang nodded helplessly. He had no objection to this, but what did this have to do with the spirit stone given to the man?

Luo Hong said with a smile

"Actually, if you are still wandering in the woods at night, and want to find a place where there are no monsters attacking, it would be a bit troublesome for you to do it alone. The reason you come to the village is that when you enter these villages, some people can keep watch for you, and you can rest in peace. So don't you have to pay them a little fee?"

Having said this, Luo Hong stopped talking, and Ming Huaishang suddenly realized. He originally thought that Luo Hong was stupid, but he didn't expect that he had such a worldly-wise side.

"I didn't expect that, kid."

Ming Huaishang said with a smile

Luo Hong fell on the bed, feeling the comfort coming from the bed, and murmured

"That's what my father taught me during a training session."

Hearing this, Ming Huaishang was silent. At this moment, when Luo Yuan was mentioned, Luo Hong couldn't help feeling a little depressed. He was the mayor of Luocheng, and he was also Luo Hong's father.

It was late at night, and people were gradually falling asleep. Luo Hong and Ming Huaishang were also sleeping in their own adobe houses. There was a huge contrast between the temperature at night and in the morning. The biting cold wind seemed to blow through the house into the room. Fortunately, the special monster fur on the bed of Ming Huaishang and others covered the two of them, so they were not afraid of the cold wind.

There were insects chirping, bonfires, and tiny footsteps. There were people patrolling the village at this time. The village was located in the jungle at night, and the people living here would build a wooden fence outside the village to surround it. They would also sprinkle a layer of special powder liquid, which exuded an unpleasant and pungent smell. This was a special powder liquid used to drive away some monsters.

One night, they were divided into three shifts, each with 15 people. Each shift was on duty for two hours to avoid fatigue, and then they began to change people. When the second shift took over, the two young men in the lead began to communicate.

"It seems that no monsters will come to disturb the village tonight, so I can sleep peacefully tonight."

The thin young man

The young man who was taller than him said with a stern face.

"We must not let down our guard in this matter. If a monster comes to harass us, the people in the village will be waiting for us."

The thin man waved his hand and said indifferently

"Alright, alright. Our village hasn't been harassed by any monsters for almost half a month. When the monsters smell the monster repellent powder, they dare not even approach the village, let alone attack. After all, it contains the urine of powerful monsters...Okay, I won't talk to you anymore. I've been on duty for half the night and I'm so sleepy. I have to go back and have a good sleep."

After saying that, the thin man walked towards the village.

The village sentry towers were about four or five meters high, with one every several dozen meters. A person stood in each tower, holding weapons in their hands, and cautiously looking at the forest outside the village. Even the slightest movement would attract their close attention.

But after an hour, it was already three o'clock in the morning, and the forest was still silent, as quiet as death. Thinking that there was no danger, the people began to relax a little. Their eyes seemed to be slightly narrowed, and some even dozed off while standing.

"sough"

Outside the village, under a tree, where the vegetation was dense and full of weeds, up to two meters high, there was a sound of leaves shaking, which immediately alerted everyone.

Then, the sound of leaves and weeds rustling became louder and louder. Everyone became serious and stared at that spot, not daring to neglect it.
