第四十章村中村

随着李豪狂暴的劈砍，巨型骷髅鬼的颈骨硬生生被李豪砍断，巨大如同小汽车的头颅被李豪单手举起。
"It's big enough, but you're not tough enough, damn it!" With a furious roar from Li Hao, the car-sized skull was pressed into the ground by his single hand, and his hands slammed down on the snowy white skull, completely taking away the last trace of life from the gigantic skeletal ghost.
After completing all of this, Li Hao released the Nine Dragon state, and his body made the sound of bones colliding and rubbing against each other. Li Hao returned to his original height of over two meters, and his muscles shrank by one circle.
This eruption of the Nine Dragon Technique consumed the dragon soul left by the Titan Dragon. Next time, unless the Five-Clawed Golden Dragon returns, Li Hao can only rely on his physical body to fight back, although it is very likely that he won't be able to overpower the enemy.
"I seriously suspect that you are cheating." came a voice from behind, Li Xue, tinged with jealousy. But more importantly, there was a sense of joy in surviving a catastrophe.
"You can think of it as if I'm cheating, but next time we might really be finished." Li Hao said indifferently, as this was a one-time consumption of Dragon Soul, so Li Hao didn't feel a hint of exhaustion this time.
This can be considered as a compensation. If it were a Five-Clawed Golden Dragon, Li Hao would probably be exhausted by now from the battle. Because the Five-Clawed Golden Dragon and Li Hao have a symbiotic relationship, consuming the dragon's soul would also affect him.
"Now, should we continue moving forward or choose to retreat," Li Xue left the decision to Li Hao, as she was still recovering her energy from taking drugs.
"Retreat? With this situation, do we even have the option to retreat?" Li Hao glanced at the ruins and bone fragments behind him and immediately pulled Li Xue, who had not completely recovered from her injuries, to continue moving forward.
And deep in the mountains, in a village no smaller than the Burnt Kiln Village, is shrouded in darkness.
"Didn't they say that once the Bone Bridge was repaired, we could move here and everything would be fine? What's going on now!" shouted a sturdy farmer at an old man. The old man was surrounded by other villagers, all of whom were angrily accusing him.
"Everyone, calm down. This is just an accident, no need to panic," the old man said calmly. With sharp, angular cheekbones and slightly narrowed triangular eyes, he appeared sharp-tongued and abrasive. Despite the situation, he handled the questions from the crowd with composure and ease.
If you look closely, there are two bodies covered with white cloth lying behind the old man.
As the atmosphere grew more tense, the farmer who had loudly interrogated the old man rushed forward, grabbing the old man by the collar and shouting, "I see you're the village chief, but you fucking killed my two brothers. You're not worthy of being the village chief. Go die!"
The rustic man released his grip on the old man's hands and swung a punch towards his cheek. Being strong and sturdy, the punch knocked the old man down to the ground. Just as the rustic man was about to kick him again, several other strong men rushed over and held the rustic man back.
However agitated and angry the rustic man was, he couldn't break free from several people, and could only shout "Let go of me" like a madman. The fallen old man's eyes flashed with hostility, one hand covering his right cheek that had been struck, slowly stood up, and stared coldly at the struggling rustic man: "Zhang Niu, I'll give you some face, do you really think you're someone? Hit me then!"
At the command of the elderly person, the group of people who held onto the farmer pushed him all at once and continuously punched and kicked the fallen farmer. The farmer was also a tough guy and despite the pain, he insisted on charging towards the elderly person. Unfortunately, he was overwhelmed by four hands and brutally beaten down on the ground.
A few villagers who had been shouting along with the peasant were now too scared to say anything, consciously distancing themselves from the peasant. They just watched as the peasant was being beaten, not daring to utter a word.
The elderly man looked at the scared villagers who were being mocked, and said, "Don't be afraid, everyone. As the leader of the village, I will take responsibility for everyone's safety. Please go home and rest assured."
These villagers had to scatter under the old man's tyranny, and the farmer was finally beaten to the point of lying motionlessly on the ground. The old man waved his hand to signal a few strong men who were still punching and kicking to back off, and slowly walked up to the farmer: "You, scoundrel, dare to hit me! Do you want to end up like those two?"
When it comes to those two corpses, the dying farmer suddenly burst with strength, threw himself at the old man's feet and tightly clung to his legs, gritting his teeth: "Tang Xiansheng, you won't have a good death!"
A few just stopped strong men immediately pulled away the peasant, and they were about to start, but the old man calmly stopped their actions, squatting down and sneering at the peasant, saying, "I don't know how I will die, but you will definitely die miserably."
The old man stood up with an evil smile and said to the people around him, "Leave him alive, he still has some usefulness." Then he turned around with a few strong men and left.
And on the sign at the entrance of the village were the familiar three words "Shao Yao Village". The village was surrounded by mountains and forests, with a dark forest leading straight from the village entrance, the layout was illogical.
However, Li Hao and Li Xue also received a system message, and this damn system actually gave both of them a mission map, with the destination being Shaoyao Village. Li Hao and Li Xue looked at each other in astonishment; how is there another Shaoyao Village? But with the map, Li Hao and the two of them would not wander aimlessly in this forest.
With the map, Li Hao and Li Xue quickly arrived at another kiln village at a speed far beyond ordinary people. Just as they reached the entrance of the village, the map in their hands disappeared. Li Hao did not pay much attention to it and quickly walked into the village with Li Xue.
As soon as he entered the village, Li Hao saw a middle-aged man, who was relatively strong, lying on the ground crying in front of two bodies covered in white cloth. Seeing this situation, Li Hao immediately cursed: "F**k, it's another funeral."
The middle-aged man slowly raised his head and looked at Li Hao and the other person, relieved to see this guy with a relatively normal face. Li Hao let out a sigh of relief; to him, everyone now seemed like a ghost.
Take a closer look, there are still wounds on the middle-aged man's face, covered in mud and footprints all over his body. It seems like he was just beaten up, and not by just one person, which Li Hao is very familiar with from his past experiences.
"Are you outsiders?" The middle-aged man looked at Li Hao and his companion and asked in surprise, then shook his head with a downcast expression, saying, "Forget it, everyone who comes here is a dead man, what's there to be curious about."
"Is this guy mentally unstable?" Li Hao, watching the middle-aged man's erratic reactions, walked up boldly. His over two-meter-tall figure lifted the middle-aged man who was lying on the ground and asked condescendingly, "What just happened, and what's the deal with these two corpses here?"
Being lifted up by a small giant like Li Hao with one hand, the middle-aged man's face was full of fear. But when Li Hao mentioned the two corpses on the ground, he suddenly became excited and kept shouting, "Tang Xiansheng, you will not have a peaceful death!"
"Hey, wake up, answer my question!" Li Hao shook the middle-aged man in his hand, becoming extremely impatient, and asked again.
"I was just beaten by the village chief. Those two bodies were my brothers who were killed by that village chief, Tang Xiansheng. You outsiders who are unfamiliar with that heartless guy, you must be careful of him." Being shaken by Li Hao, the middle-aged man became a bit more sober. After saying a string of words, he fell into despair again, clearly losing faith in life.
"Be careful? Do you really think a few ordinary people can turn the world upside down?" Li Hao looked somewhat disdainful upon hearing the words of the middle-aged man. Since becoming a third-tier individual, ordinary people were nothing more than ants to Li Hao."
After hearing Li Hao's contemptuous words, the middle-aged man looked surprised and glanced at Li Hao. Considering Li Hao's burly figure, he suddenly became excited again and exclaimed, "Are you a member of the martial arts world?"
