Bright Sword: This unit is really ruthless

Ah Yue's face was pale, with a trace of blood flowing from the corner of her mouth. She opened her eyes weakly, looked at Zhang Ling, and forced a smile, "I... I'm fine..."

"You lied to me! You were obviously seriously injured!" Zhang Ling's voice trembled, and he felt like his heart was being cut by a knife.

"Zhang Ling...go away...don't worry about me..." Ah Yue said weakly, "They...they won't let you go..."

"I won't abandon you!" Zhang Ling hugged A Yue tightly, his eyes full of determination.

He raised his head and looked at the village chief, his eyes filled with anger and hatred, "You beasts! I will make you pay the price!"

The village chief sneered, "Just you? You don't know your own limitations!"

He waved his hand, signaling the villagers to continue their attack.

Zhang Ling knew that he was in great danger today, but he was not afraid at all. He hugged A Yue tightly, ready to fight to the death with the villagers.

At this moment, a sudden change occurred.

Suddenly, a strange sound came from the well, as if something was crawling up from the bottom of the well.

The villagers stopped what they were doing and looked towards the well in horror.

"What's that sound?" a villager asked tremblingly.

"I don't know..." Another villager turned pale, "It seems...it seems to be coming from the well..."

The sound in the well became louder and clearer, as if some huge monster was approaching.

Suddenly, a black liquid gushed out from the wellhead, emitting a disgusting stench.

Immediately afterwards, a huge figure climbed out of the well.

It was a monster that was completely black with ferocious fangs. Its eyes were flashing scarlet light and it looked extremely terrifying.

"Ah!" The villagers screamed in fear and fled in all directions.

The village chief was so frightened that he turned and ran away.

The monster let out a deafening roar, opened its bloody mouth, and pounced on the villagers.

For a moment, screams and wails filled the night sky.

Zhang Ling held A Yue in his arms and hid behind a big tree. He looked at the horrifying scene in front of him, his heart filled with shock and fear.

What kind of monster is this? Why did it crawl out of the well? What secrets does this village hide?

At this time, the monster discovered Zhang Ling and A Yue hiding behind the tree. It let out a low growl and slowly walked towards them...

The footsteps were getting closer and closer. Zhang Ling clenched the stick in his hand and looked around vigilantly. Ah Yue hid behind him in fear, trembling.

Several figures walked out of the woods. They were wearing coarse linen clothes and holding farm tools such as hoes and sickles. They looked like ordinary villagers. But their eyes were cold and fierce, which was inconsistent with their simple clothes.

The leader was a tall, strong man with a face full of flesh. He had a sinister look and stared at Zhang Ling and A Yue.

"Village chief..." A Yue screamed in horror when she saw the strong man.

Zhang Ling's heart sank. It seemed that this burly man was the village chief that A Yue mentioned.

"Little bitch, you're not dead!" The village chief glared at A Yue fiercely, his tone full of murderous intent.

"Village chief, I..." A Yue wanted to explain fearfully, but was rudely interrupted by the village chief.

"Shut up! You cursed bitch, how dare you climb out of the well? You are blaspheming the well god!" the village chief roared, "Today, I will throw you back into the well and make sure you never get reincarnated!"

As he spoke, the village chief waved the hoe in his hand and rushed towards A Yue.

Seeing this, Zhang Ling quickly protected A Yue behind him and waved a wooden stick to block the village chief's attack.

"clang!"

The wooden stick collided with the hoe, making a crisp sound. Zhang Ling felt a numbness in his palm and the wooden stick in his hand almost slipped out.

"Boy, who are you? How dare you meddle in other people's business!" The village chief glared at Zhang Ling, his eyes full of murderous intent.

"It doesn't matter who I am. What matters is that I won't let you hurt her." Zhang Ling said coldly.

"What a big tone! You think you can stop me?" The village chief sneered, "Go ahead, take this guy down!"

The villagers behind him heard the village chief's order and waved their farm tools and surrounded Zhang Ling.

Zhang Ling thought to himself that something was not right. Although these villagers looked like ordinary people, their eyes were full of murderous intent. They were obviously not ordinary villagers.

He did not dare to be careless and fought with the villagers, waving a wooden stick.

Although Zhang Ling was quite skilled, he was outnumbered and soon fell into the disadvantage.

"boom!"

A villager chopped Zhang Ling's back with a sickle, and the blood instantly dyed his clothes red.

"what!"

Zhang Ling cried out in pain, staggered and almost fell to the ground.

"Zhang Ling!" A Yue screamed in horror.

"Hehe, kid, let's see how long you can last!" said the village chief with a proud smile.

"Damn it!" Zhang Ling gritted his teeth, endured the pain, and continued to fight with the villagers.

He knew that if he fell, A Yue would be dead.

He must hold on!

At this moment, a sudden change occurred.

The originally clear sky was suddenly covered with dark clouds, strong winds, and lightning and thunder.

"What's going on?" The villagers stopped what they were doing and looked at the sky in horror.

"Boom!"

A flash of lightning streaked across the night sky, illuminating the entire village.

Under the illumination of lightning, Zhang Ling saw strange black lines appearing on the faces of the village chief and the villagers.

Those lines were wriggling on their faces like living things, looking extremely terrifying.

"What...what is this?" a villager cried in horror.

"It's a curse! It's the curse of the well god!" another villager said tremblingly.

"what!"

A villager suddenly let out a scream, his body began to twitch violently, and the black lines on his face became more and more dense.

"boom!"

With a muffled sound, the villager's body suddenly exploded and turned into a pool of blood.

"what!"

Seeing this, other villagers shouted in fear and fled in all directions.

The village chief was so frightened that his face turned pale and he turned around and tried to run away.

But it's too late.

A bolt of lightning fell from the sky and hit the village chief's body.

"what!"

The village chief let out a shrill scream and his body instantly turned to ashes.

Other villagers were not spared either. They were struck by lightning and turned into ashes.

In the blink of an eye, all the villagers who had been so aggressive disappeared.

Only Zhang Ling and A Yue were left, standing there blankly, staring at everything in front of them, unable to recover for a long time.

At this time, a strange singing voice came from the well again. The singing was ethereal and distant, yet full of sadness and despair.

Zhang Ling and A Yue looked at each other and saw fear in each other's eyes.

What on earth is this song?

What secrets does this village hide?

Ah Yue's face turned pale. She tightly grasped Zhang Ling's arm and said tremblingly, "Zhang Ling, I'm scared..."

Zhang Ling gently patted Ah Yue's shoulder and comforted her, "Don't be afraid, I'm here."

Although he said this, his heart was filled with anxiety.

He knew that what they were about to face would be something even more terrifying...

At this moment, a stream of black water suddenly gushed out of the well. The black water emitted a strong stench, like the filth flowing out of hell.

The black water spread rapidly, surrounding Zhang Ling and A Yue...

The footsteps were getting closer and closer. Zhang Ling clenched the stick in his hand and looked around vigilantly. Ah Yue tightly grasped the corner of Zhang Ling's clothes and trembled.

Several figures walked out of the woods. They were wearing coarse linen clothes and holding torches in their hands. With the help of the firelight, Zhang Ling could see their faces clearly.

The leader was a tall, fleshy man, who was the village chief Ah Yue had mentioned. Behind the village chief followed several villagers, all of whom had a strange light in their eyes, as if wild animals were staring at their prey.

"Village chief..." A Yue called out tremblingly.

When the village chief saw Ah Yue, a trace of anger flashed in his eyes, "Bitch! You are not dead yet!"

"Village chief, please... let me go..." A Yue begged.

The village chief sneered, "Let you go? You have been cursed. Only by sacrificing you to the well god can we keep our village safe!"

"I'm not cursed! I'm not!" A Yue shook her head desperately.

"You still dare to quibble!" The village chief roared, raised the wooden stick in his hand and was about to hit A Yue.

Seeing this, Zhang Ling quickly stood in front of A Yue and said, "Stop!"

The village chief was stunned and looked Zhang Ling up and down. "Who are you?"

"I'm just passing by." Zhang Ling said, "Why did you throw her into the well?"

"This is our village's business, it has nothing to do with you!" the village chief said impatiently, "Get out of here if you know what's best for you!"

"Now that I've seen it, I can't just ignore it." Zhang Ling said in a firm tone.

"Boy, you are looking for death!" A fierce light flashed in the village chief's eyes, and he waved a wooden stick and hit Zhang Ling.

Zhang Ling dodged sideways and then kicked the village chief in the stomach. The village chief screamed and fell to the ground.

Seeing this, other villagers rushed forward and surrounded Zhang Ling.

Although Zhang Ling was strong, he was outnumbered and soon fell into the disadvantage.

"My benefactor Zhang Ling, please go away! Don't worry about me!" A Yue cried.

Zhang Ling gritted his teeth and fought hard, but the villagers were too numerous and powerful, and he gradually felt exhausted.

At this moment, a sudden change occurred.

Suddenly, a strange sound came from the well, as if something was trying to crawl out of it.

When the villagers heard the sound, they stopped what they were doing and looked towards the well in horror.

The noise in the well became louder and louder, and then a dark shadow slowly rose from the well.

With the help of the firelight, Zhang Ling could see the black shadow clearly.

It was a humanoid creature, completely black, without any facial features, but with two scarlet eyes that emitted a creepy light.

"What is this..." a villager shouted in horror.

The shadow let out a sharp cry and pounced on the nearest villager.

The villager screamed and was knocked to the ground by the black shadow. The black shadow opened its bloody mouth and bit the villager's neck.

Blood gushed out, and the villager struggled for a few times before becoming motionless.

When the other villagers saw this, they were terrified and fled in all directions.

The village chief didn't care about Zhang Ling and A Yue anymore, and fled into the woods.

The black shadow did not chase the fleeing villagers, but turned its attention to Zhang Ling and A Yue.

It walked slowly towards them, its scarlet eyes filled with bloodthirsty desire.

A Yue was so scared that she collapsed to the ground, trembling.

Zhang Ling protected A Yue behind him, tightly gripped the wooden stick in his hand, and watched the black shadow vigilantly.
