Chapter 32: The Dog-Headed Demon People Arrive to Wreak Havoc
The village chief is out of danger with the help of the magical grass from that human child, according to the elder. The chief is now unconscious due to excessive blood loss, but there's no life-threatening risk and will recover in a few days. This news lifted the spirits of everyone waiting anxiously outside, they won't have to lose their respected chief after all. The gloomy atmosphere that had shrouded the entire village was swept away, replaced by cheers from everyone.
And Xiao Liuxing's status among these people has also changed, from being the clever human child who last time came up with that delicious roasted meat to now becoming a human child with the magical ability to save lives with grass. The title has changed, but the essence of the child remains unchanged, and Xiao Liuxing still has a long way to go in becoming a man.
Three days have passed since the village chief returned injured, and he is still lying weakly on the stone bed. Compared to three days ago, he has improved a lot now. Although he doesn't have the strength to get up yet, eating is no problem for him. Moreover, the green blood on his body has completely disappeared, and it has all turned back to red.
Instead, it was Old Horse Face who led everyone to go hunting. Of course, before they left, he had already figured out from Little Shooting Star what those remnants that saved his son were made of - a mixture of several plants. Until he found those plants himself, he couldn't believe that these ordinary plants could eliminate such severe poison; if Little Shooting Star could understand him, he would have pulled him aside to ask for guidance long ago.
All the men in the village have gone hunting, and now the village is left with only some old people, children and women, plus a bedridden village chief. It's noon now, Xiaoliu and Xiaochuntian saw Uri and Sova just finished their practice, walking back, preparing to eat, just walked to the village gate, suddenly heard from the Magic Beast Forest again A burst of noise, "They're back so soon? Who got hurt this time?"
This was Xiao Liuxing's first reaction, and also the first reaction of all others who heard that noise. However, when they turned their heads around, they found out that this time it wasn't those men from their village who went hunting coming out of the magical beast forest. Instead, it was some dog-headed human-like creatures, wearing animal hides just like the villagers. They were about 1.6 meters tall, with yellow and black fur all over their dog heads.
Each of them held a weapon in one hand, either an iron club or a large knife, and several others had bones as long as a meter and as thick as an arm. In the other hand, they each carried a large bag made of animal hide that was almost as tall as they were. Just by looking at their fierce eyes, you could tell they weren't up to any good and definitely weren't here to make friends.
The little meteor took a look and found that there were more than 200 dog-headed people, most of whom had the strength of the early foundation-building period. One of them even had the strength of the mid-fusion period. Judging from the way he was surrounded by other dog-headed people in the middle, he was probably the leader of this group. To be honest, with their strength and the village men not being around, if they came with ill intentions, apart from Little Meteor and Little Spring, there really wasn't anyone who could stop them.
Perhaps it was because they knew that the men in the village had all gone hunting, those dog-headed people came into the village without any scruples, walking with a swagger and chatting and laughing as they went, their expressions extremely relaxed. The reaction of the villagers also made Xiaoliu Xing very curious. At first, hearing the commotion, she thought it was the men from the village, so she was extremely tense. But when she saw that it was those dog-headed people, her tension disappeared.
Taking it in stride is a kind of helplessness, a kind of resignation. Some people even show extreme anger, clenching their fists and staring fixedly at those dog-headed men who walk by, but that's all - just anger, with no other expression. The Uli and Sowa beside me are two such examples.
The villagers' expressions told Xiaoliu that these dog-headed men must have come before, and the villagers knew their purpose. They also knew they couldn't resist them, or else everyone would be more than just angry. Looking at how calmly everyone took out most of their stored food to pile up at the village entrance, and then looking at the village chief who had been escorted to the entrance with a helpless look in his eyes.
The little meteor felt very angry. Of course, this anger was not directed at the people in Angry Village for not resisting, but rather, the little meteor strongly approved of the villagers' actions. It was clear that the enemy was not someone they could resist, and if they were to resist, the result would naturally be that not only their own people would be killed by the enemy, or even if the enemy did not kill them, they would definitely be injured. Once their people were all dead or injured and unable to resist, those people would still take away what they needed. It was better to just give them what they wanted and spare their lives, waiting for a chance to avenge themselves in the future.
And the little shooting star also saw their efforts, every time they went out to hunt, when they had free time, they started practicing together. At first, the little shooting star thought that they were working so hard to improve themselves in order to hunt more animals, but now it seems that a bigger reason is that they want to quickly increase their strength to fight against these dog-headed people. This shows that their hearts are enterprising, so the little shooting star doesn't blame them.
The little meteor was furious that these dog-headed people had such strength but didn't go hunting, instead they robbed others. If it wasn't for himself being here, the village chief would be a dead man now just because of hunting!
Think of the men in the village who worked hard to bring these foods, most of which were taken away by these people. It made Xiaoliu Xing furious. They didn't have the strength to fight against these dog-headed people. If they wanted to take those foods, they had to get past him first. After living in the village for 20 days, Xiaoliu Xing completely fell in love with this place and considered himself one of them.
It's absolutely unacceptable for someone to take something that belongs to you like this! As for strength, dealing with these people won't reveal much of it anyway. Moreover, Little Meteor needs to show some strength too, so they can believe in themselves later on when they're helping them improve their strength. Killing two birds with one stone, why not?
Just as Xiaoxingxing was thinking about something, those dog-headed people had already come out of the Magic Beast Forest and walked to the village entrance. They stopped in front of the piled-up food, which consisted of five piles, each over two meters high. The leader of the dog-headed people circled around the five piles of food, feeling very satisfied, and looked at the villagers with disdain, who were staring at him with a hungry gaze. With a wave of his hand, he ordered them to start loading these foods.
Those villagers' eyes, he had seen many of them, starting from when he first started this line of work, but until now, he was still living well and comfortably. If it weren't for the fact that he needed their help to gather food, he would have killed them long ago. He wasn't going to do something as foolish as killing the goose that lays the golden eggs. However, this time an unexpected event occurred.
Normally, with a wave of his hand, his subordinates would rush up and take away all the food. But this time, just as he raised his hand, his subordinates were about to make their move when a loud shout came from behind him. Although he didn't quite catch what was being shouted, the shout startled him, and Dog Head thought to himself that this person was definitely going to get the punishment they deserved. It seemed like it had been a long time since they'd killed anyone, and they'd forgotten their skills - daring to shout loudly and scare him.
As he turned his head, the crowd in the village looked at him to see who had such a big nerve. As he turned his head, what entered his eyes was a group of tense people. And these tense-looking people were all intentionally or unintentionally moving towards one place, and in that place, there was a small human boy and a small human girl. Human? Or child? Just starting to notice, here are two more human children, which made him slightly puzzled.
Looking at the villager's appearance, it was that human child who had just yelled at him. Although he didn't know how these two humans appeared here, since he yelled at him, he must be punished! He would receive the punishment he was most skilled at, and his only skill, as well as the only thing he knew how to do, was to kill people.
The thought of killing someone made him a little excited, but when he looked at the target he was about to kill, he hesitated for a moment. The expressions on their faces and those around them were completely different. The boy's expression was calm, extremely calm, while the girl's expression was one of curiosity. At that moment, she was standing behind the villagers, looking at him with curious eyes.
No matter whether it was calm or curious, it wasn't the fearful or angry expression he had expected. Perhaps they were still new here and didn't know their own reputation yet, so they acted like this. However, they would soon find out, unfortunately, this would be their last time finding out.
He shouldered the knife and, with a wicked grin on his face, said something to the village chief who was still being supported by others. The village chief replied angrily, pulling Little Streamer behind him as he spoke, while the villagers also stood in front of Little Streamer after the chief finished speaking, their faces determined.
It's clear that the Dog-Headed Man wants the Village Chief to hand himself over, but the Village Chief refuses, and everyone else does too, preparing to fight against the Dog-Headed Man. Xiao Liuxing is deeply moved, knowing he can't win a fight, yet still trying to protect himself. This further solidifies his determination to show off his skills.
He released the chaotic energy outward, gently squeezing the villagers who were blocking his way to both sides, making room for himself. Then, in everyone's astonishment, he slowly walked out. Behind him followed Little Spring Heaven, whose expression still held curiosity.
The food piled up about ten meters away from the villagers, and Xiaoliu stopped in the middle. After stopping, he didn't say a word, his hands were empty, and he operated the chaotic air. Then, two twenty-centimeter-high flames appeared on the palms of his hands. At the moment the sparks appeared, everyone exclaimed, including Dogheadman, who had just been complacent, thinking that Xiaoliu was let go by the village chief, and was thinking in his mind how to kill Xiaoliu, as well as Dogheadman, who was waiting on the side to see how Xiaoliu would die.
"Flame Technique", a spell that Xiao Liu Xing learned before leaving the forest. Those dog-headed people were so weak, they didn't even deserve for Xiao Liu Xing to draw his sword, and among the attacking spells, Flame Technique was the one that could simultaneously kill over 200 people while consuming the least amount of energy. Moreover, it also had the effect of destroying corpses and erasing traces.
Only to see in everyone's astonished gaze, the two flames in Xiao Liuxing's hand suddenly dispersed and turned into hundreds of small sparks over a centimeter high. These sparks appeared and swelled with the wind, and within less than two seconds, they all transformed back into flames of the same size as before they split. During this transformation process, the flames hovered in mid-air, and after the transformation was complete, under Xiao Liuxing's control, they rapidly flew towards Gou Tou Ren.
The dog-headed people who had been staring blankly at the Little Meteorite finally came to their senses, panicked and shouted as they scattered in all directions. This included the leader of the dog-headed people, but no matter how fast they ran, they couldn't outrun the flames. In just a few seconds, over 200 people were engulfed by more than 300 flames, with each person having at least one flame on their body. The leader of the dog-headed people was closest to Little Meteorite and had been specially taken care of, so he had five flames on his body. The flames condensed from the Chaotic Air naturally wouldn't have a low temperature.
In less than 10 seconds, the dog-headed man let out two "ah"s and was burned to ashes, dispersing in the wind. The one who got hit by multiple flames was liberated early, while those who only got hit by a single flame were burned for over a minute before turning to ash. This was still considered quick by the small shooting star, as it had lowered the temperature of the flames just in time. Otherwise, within 20 seconds, everyone would have been reduced to ashes.
For over a minute, those dog-headed men couldn't extinguish the flames no matter what they did, and could only watch as their bodies slowly disappeared from foot to head in the flames. The psychological terror, combined with the pain of being burned by the flames, drove those dog-headed men to madly scream and wildly struggle. The scene was as terrifying as it gets.
However, Xiaoliu Xing did not change his expression and remained calm. This was the retribution they should have received long ago. With the ferocity on their bodies, Xiaoliu Xing could be 100% sure that each of them had at least ten or more lives on their hands. Only those who frequently kill people would have such ferocity on their bodies. Therefore, they deserved to die, and although they screamed miserably, Xiaoliu Xing did not sympathize with them.
It wasn't just Xiaoliuxing, the villagers in the village were also like Xiaoliuxing, watching the miserable cries of those dog-headed people without any sympathy, and they all excitedly shouted loudly. Even a few of them ran to Xiaoliuxing's side after seeing all the dog-headed people turn into ashes and disappear, hugged him tightly and kissed him fiercely several times. The stench was so pungent that it made Xiaoliuxing feel like fainting.
