Infinite Kings Advent

Vol 9 Chapter 179: Underground village

The old man patted his shoulder with relief, and said: "You really are an excellent swordsman. Our village hasn't seen a swordsman for a long time. You are the first to come here in such a long time. "

When Xie Chen heard what the old man said, he knew it was about to talk about the background here, so he pretended to be puzzled and asked: "Why is there no one here for so many years? There are still villages, why didn't they see it?"

As soon as Xie Chen's words fell, the old man sighed, looked far away, and began to say: "In fact, our village used to be a very lively place with many people. We who live here are very satisfied. Life. Until one day, a powerful demon came here. He took control of our rice fields and captured our people. Since then, our village has gradually declined. The number of people has gradually decreased, and the people from outside It also gradually disappeared. The swordsman who used to appear in the village has disappeared. In the past few years, you are still the first outsider."

Xie Chen answered at this time: "The old man said that there are other people in your village? But I don't think there is anyone nearby."

The old man continued: "That's what I want to say. In recent years, because of that demon king, many young children have died in resistance. In addition, the devil has taken a lot of people away. The people of the tribe can only live here secretly, saving food and clothing, life is very difficult."

Xie Chen showed a suspicious expression at the right time. Sure enough, the old man smiled bitterly when he saw his expression, and said, "Do you want to ask, why we guard such a large paddy field, but still can't eat enough? "

Xie Chen nodded, and then the old man explained: "Young people, don't you see that there are rice fields everywhere, but we can't touch them. Only a small area around here is the food we can eat."

Xie Chen heard the words and looked in the direction he was pointing. Sure enough, he found that a small piece of land here was different from what he saw on the road. It was obviously taken care of here, but the rice field on the road was not, although it was full. The crops, golden, seem to be borderless, but when you think about it, they are messy, too dense. And Xie Chen also remembered that the crops seemed to have matured, but the growth was really much worse than here, and no one was going to harvest it. Now he realized that it was because of this.

After a long story from the old man, Xie Chen finally heard the task that the old man was going to give him. He also knew that the old man was actually a swordsman when he was young, but his vitality was greatly injured in the subsequent battles, so he quickly As he ages, he becomes no different from ordinary old people. This was also the reason why he saw Xie Chen's excitement but not gloomy, and it was also because of this that he saw Xie Chen's identity at first glance.

"So, young swordsman, I don't know if you can help us eliminate the demon king who occupied our home. We will give you a generous reward." The old man looked at Xie Chen earnestly, and Xie Chen waited. It was his words that naturally wouldn't refuse, so he nodded and said: "Don't worry, I will destroy that demon king." Then he clicked on the task icon and clicked confirm.

After accepting this task, the smile on the old man’s face really became a lot. He went back to the house and picked up the hoe, and said to Xie Chen: "Then you come with me, take a look at where we live, and trust my family. People will be happy to see you."

Xie Chen did not refuse, and left here with him. Xie Chen was still thinking, how can people be hidden in such a flat place? As a result, the old man took him into an underground cave. Although it was underground, it was very dry. After a narrow road, it became spacious.

Xie Chen followed in with interest, and then saw two middle-aged people who seemed to be guards. After seeing the old man, he greeted him and said respectfully: "Patriarch, you are back."

Xie Chen did not expect that this seemingly thin and ordinary old man would still be the patriarch. But it was nothing, Xie Chen thought about it and threw it aside.

Then the two middle-aged people saw Xie Chen, a little confused and vigilant, and a little excited: "Patriarch, who is behind you...?

The old man smiled and repeatedly said with a beard: "This is the demon king, an excellent young swordsman. He defeated the puppets outside, and at my request, he has agreed to help us get rid of the demon king. We return to the ground. The days are not far away."

As soon as his voice fell, the expressions and expressions of the two middle-aged people suddenly changed. They all surrounded Xie Chen and said, "It turns out that it is the Demon King, are you here to help us fight the Demon King? Great!"

When Xie Chen heard these words, the corners of his mouth twitched. It sounds strange that the Demon King beat the Demon King or something. Then Xie Chen smiled, nodded and said: "Yes, I have accepted the invitation of the patriarch to help you defeat the devil."

After hearing Xie Chen's confirmation of this sentence, the two of them became even more enthusiastic. They greeted Xie Chen inside, looked at the rather empty space underground, and raised their brows. In fact, life here is not as bad as imagined. It's just that the people inside were just like the patriarch said, all of them looked yellow and thin, and many of them had worn out clothes.

Seeing Xie Chen here, the villagers living here expressed great curiosity, and then dispersed at the request of the patriarch. After the patriarch arrived at his residence, Xie Chen sat on a wooden stool that seemed to be older, and listened to the old man starting to introduce their residence. Not long after, a middle-aged man came in and he glanced embarrassedly. Xie Chen said to the patriarch: "Patriarch, I have a request to tell this swordsman, I don’t know if it’s possible."

Xie Chen knew that this must be another task or development, so he directly said: "If you have something to tell me directly, you are welcome."..
