Chapter 456 Understanding [I]

"Burn these devils!"

"Look how innocent they act, yet they are so vicious deep down!"

"Oh my God... my poor cow, my whole family depends on it to survive the winter..."

Curses and sobs rang in my ears.

prior to.

When the timer of the Samsara Book House returned to zero, the body disappeared.

Hu Qi suddenly felt a cold force grabbing his consciousness and forcibly pulling him out of his body.

Consciousness continued to fall into nothingness, as if passing through an endless viscous dark swamp.

When the five senses were restored, along with the curses, there was also a sour stench and the smell of feces and urine.

Hu Qi opened his eyes.

What meets the eye.

I'm in a big hole.

His body was tied to a thick wooden stake, with the rough hemp rope deeply tied around his wrists.

There were piles of wood and branches underfoot.

It is soaked with rosin.

The area was surrounded by villagers wearing coarse linen clothes.

These people have the unique features of Caucasians in appearance, with thick hair, deep eyes and high noses.

But some of them have different hair styles.

Some people even have green hair and green eyes.

These people, including men, women, and even children, stared at him with twisted anger on their faces.

That look was as if he had killed their entire family.

now.

Hu Qi's calm expression seemed to irritate these people.

At this time, in the crowd.

An old woman with a gray headscarf and a wrinkled face opened her mouth and approached Hu Qi and spat at him.

However, perhaps due to the distance, the yellow sputum only fell at Hu Qi's feet.

"Damn it, you..."

When the old woman saw that she did not vomit on Hu Qi, she became so angry that she started to curse.

But when his eyes accidentally met Hu Qi's calm eyes.

A sudden feeling of palpitations arose for no reason.

The words got stuck in my mouth involuntarily.

In this regard.

Hu Qi just took a look and didn't do anything else.

While he was digesting the memories of the original owner in his mind.

He looked around, taking in the surroundings.

It was night time.

Above the head, there are two bright full moons as big as round disks, hanging high in the sky, casting a hazy silvery light.

Because of the two full moons.

Even though it's night.

The surroundings can still be seen clearly.

Low thatched houses were scattered on both sides of the muddy path. The thatched roofs had collapsed and deformed due to years of disrepair, and dry moss hung from the edges.

The walls were made of rammed earth, with spider-web-like cracks on the surface and some places covered with mud mixed with dry cow dung and straw.

Further away, there are a few slightly blurry houses.

The whole structure was built with rough logs, and the chimney protruded crookedly from the roof, emitting thin gray smoke.

Besides.

There were two other men also tied to wooden stakes beside him.

A haggard middle-aged man and an old man with gray hair and beard.

Their hair was tangled and matted like dead grass, their bruised skin was visible under their ragged clothes, and clotted blood scabs were faintly visible between their cracked lips.

At this moment, there was neither fear nor anger in the two men's turbid pupils, only a dullness like two pools of stagnant water.

It was as if the soul had been taken away long ago, leaving only an empty shell on the wooden stake.

Obviously, this appearance shows that he has been tortured.

"This is an interesting start..."

Hu Qi calmly moved the slightly stiff fingers of this new body, thinking secretly.

"But it didn't even have a moment to adapt before it directly took over the body of this native."

He lowered his head to quickly sort out the fragmented memory fragments in his mind, while glancing at the clothes of the people around him with his peripheral vision.

The tunic made of coarse linen and the leather leggings all indicate that this is a world similar to the European Middle Ages.

While Hu Qi was thinking about this.

At this time, a tall figure holding a torch came forward.

In the flickering light of the torch, the man's outline was clearly reflected in Hu Qi's eyes.

In stark contrast to the pale, skinny and hunched villagers around him, the man in front of him was like a tall oak tree.

He had broad shoulders and a thick back, and his solid muscles stretched his linen shirt tight. When his sleeves were rolled up, the knotted veins on his forearms were exposed.

His attire was much more elaborate than that of ordinary villagers.

The long-sleeved linen shirt, which was washed to a pale color, was old but clean and tidy.

Around the waist was a belt made of animal leather.

He wore carefully tanned leather trousers and a pair of sturdy black leather boots with fresh mud stains on the boots.

Besides.

In the firelight.

On one side hung a short knife with a leather sheath and a non-slip cloth wrapped around the handle.

The firelight cast a swaying shadow in front of him, and just standing there gave people a sense of oppression.

“In the name of the Seven Gods, there is solid evidence that Potter, Hawke, and Elu stole the villagers’ livestock and looted their money.

Now sentenced to be burned at the stake, do you plead guilty? "

The man stood on the edge of the pit.

He looked down at Hu Qi and the others, his voice as chilling as a winter wind.

Hear the words.

Hu Qi's eyes moved.

I recognized the man in front of me as Rock, the village chief's bodyguard.

Based on the information currently available.

The original owner of this body he occupied was a sixteen-year-old boy named Elu Goth.

It is not accurate to say that he is a teenager.

Because this age is considered an adult in this world.

As for why this situation occurs.

This is because the villagers’ money, property, cattle and sheep have been lost recently.

The final result of the search was that these three people were responsible.

Of course, Hu Qi, who obtained the original owner's memory, knew very well that this was an elaborate frame-up.

The original owner was not familiar with the other two people and was hit by a club while herding sheep.

When he regained consciousness, he was already in a dilapidated thatched hut, with only these two people around him.

There was also a pile of cattle, sheep and other valuables of unknown origin.

Before the three of them could figure out what was happening, the door was kicked open.

The leader was Rock, who was standing in front of him at the moment. He brought a team of militiamen and captured them on the spot with great momentum.

Ignored the three of them's explanations.

What greeted them was severe torture and beating.

Then they were forced to confess their crimes and then burned to death in public.

now.

Hear Rock ask.

The two people who were tied up beside him trembled noticeably.

It was obvious that he was extremely afraid of this Rock.

"I...I plead guilty!"

The old man lowered his head and spoke in a hoarse voice. His dry white hair was sticking to his forehead in a mess and his whole body was shaking.

Then, the middle-aged man next to him also spoke tremblingly and repeated the same words.

Their eyes were filled with fear and despair, this so-called "confession".

But there is no other choice.

If you grit your teeth and admit it, perhaps you can still save your loved ones.

If they refuse to obey, they will be subjected to even more brutal torture, and even their loved ones may be harmed.

After seeing the two of them admit it.

A satisfied smile appeared on Rock's face.

They are a bunch of bastards. They have to be taught a lesson before they will behave themselves.

only.

next second.

He then noticed that there was another person who remained silent and did not speak.

See this scene.

He frowned slightly and looked towards where Hu Qi was.

His expression turned cold as well.

"Elu, I'm asking you a question! Didn't you hear me?"

"I heard you, but I have something else I want to tell you before I die."

The corner of Hu Qi's mouth twitched, and his eyes glanced around inadvertently.

Show a smile.

However, perhaps because the corners of his mouth were chapped, such a large movement tore the wound at the corners of his mouth.

Suddenly, a rusty and bloody smell filled my mouth.

However, this pain did not cause any discomfort on Hu Qi's face.

"Oh?"

Hu Qi's words made Rock frown.

He instinctively wanted to refuse. After all, the most important thing for him was to complete the village chief's orders first.

However, when his eyes met those bottomless eyes, somehow his boots had stepped on the branches at the edge of the pit.

When he came to his senses, the person was already standing in front of Hu Qi.

Rock didn't care too much about this.

As for whether the other party poses a threat to him? What a joke.

As a professionally trained apprentice knight, two or three ordinary strong men could not get close to him, let alone this mud-legged man with his limbs tied up?
"I want to see what you can come up with."

Rock snorted.

Hu Qi's lips moved, his voice was as thin as a mosquito, and was completely drowned out by the curses of the surrounding villagers and could not be heard at all.

See this.

Rock snorted.

"Quiet!"

The words fell.

The noise around me became quieter.

Then he leaned over.

I want to hear what Hu Qi is going to say.

puff!

--what!

A muffled sound of flesh tearing suddenly pierced the noise, followed by Rock's howl like a pig being slaughtered.

The sound wave was like a knife, instantly splitting the noisy crowd, and everyone's eyes were fixed on where Hu Qi was.

But after seeing it clearly.

Everyone stood still and the surroundings became dead silent.

The tied-up Hu Qi opened his mouth and bit Rock's neck.

Blood was gushing out from between the white teeth.

He was like a trapped beast, with veins bulging on his neck and his jaw stuck in Rock's throat.

The sticky plasma flowed down the corners of Hu Qi's mouth and exploded into strings of dark red flowers on the branches and firewood under his feet.

"Ah, you lowly creature, how dare you."

Rock's face was distorted like a devil, and his right hand quickly reached for the dagger at his waist.

But as soon as his fingertips touched the handle of the knife, his whole arm suddenly stiffened.

I saw.

His skin was withering at a rate visible to the naked eye.

The pale gray color spread wildly from the bitten carotid artery to the body, and Rock's eyes were quickly covered with a layer of turbid white color like a dead fish.

With a clang, the dagger fell to the ground, and Rock's palm and body fell down like a piece of rotten wood that had been drained of water.

After landing, all that was left was a dried corpse covered with human skin, with a wide-open mouth and almost burst eyes.

It solidifies a picture of panic, full of tension and impact.

Hu Qi opened his mouth and spat out half a piece of bloody cartilage.

The blood-stained face made it look even more hideous at this moment.

At this time, the four militiamen who had followed Rock reacted immediately.

His face changed wildly.

Just getting ready to take action.

"--Roar!"

Hu Qi suddenly let out a low roar, and the sound waves exploded like substance.

The strange frequency of the sound waves made the air tremble, and it was so sharp that it almost pierced everyone's eardrums.

The sudden noise made several people stop moving.

quack!

next second.

Under the astonished gaze of the crowd, Hu Qi's originally thin body visibly expanded outwards.

Subsequently.

The hemp rope that was originally tied up was instantly stretched straight.

Then, it broke into pieces like a snake shedding its skin, and fell to the ground in pieces.

"Ah, this is... a monster!"

"Run! The monster is eating people!"

"Oh my God, this is a demon! Seven Gods! Please protect us!"

……

Until then.

The crowd watching seemed to have just woken up from a dream.

Don't blame them for this.

It all happened so fast.

It may not sound short, but it only took a few seconds.

After realizing what was happening, they began to flee madly in all directions.

Although the faces of the four well-trained militiamen turned pale, they did not run away immediately, but held on to their weapons.

The four of them rushed towards Hu Qi in a fan shape.

See this scene.

Hu Qi bent down and quickly picked up the dagger that Rock dropped, and held it in his palm.

At this time, the militia on the far left stabbed Hu Qi's throat with a spear like a snake!

Hu Qi did not dodge, but instead stepped forward towards the spear tip.

The moment the tip of the spear touched his skin, his neck suddenly tilted, and the spear blade brushed against the side of his neck, leaving a faint line of blood.

At the same time, his left hand gripped the spear shaft like an iron clamp, and the dagger in his right hand slashed forward along the wooden pole!

puff!
Three fingers flew up, and the militiaman screamed and let go of his spear.

Hu Qi then slashed upward with his backhand, holding the dagger and piercing it under his chin.

Sudden exertion.

puff!

next second.

The dagger directly tore the entire jaw apart!
A stream of blood spurted out of the militiaman's throat. He staggered back, trying in vain to cover the gushing wound with his hands, and fell to the ground.

--call!

The sound of breaking through the air came.

The second man's sword had already reached his head.

It seemed as if Hu Qi had eyes on his back.

The dagger was slashed upward with the backhand.

The dagger and the blade collided, sparks flew, and Hu Qi raised his leg and kicked the opponent in the abdomen.

The militiaman suddenly bent over in pain.

next second.

The dagger pierced from top to bottom, from the back of his neck, and the tip of the blade pierced through his Adam's apple.

suddenly.

"boom--!"

A loud bang tore through the night sky!
A ball of blood exploded on Hu Qi's back and he looked up.

He saw a militiaman holding a black iron pipe and pointing it at him.

It was a musket.

But, because of technical reasons.

This type of musket can only fire one shot at a time.

You need to refill it after you finish playing.

However, Hu Qi naturally couldn't give him time.

The figure leaped out like a tiger.

Came directly in front of the militiaman.

The dagger slashed out horizontally.

Blood mist spurted out and a terrified head flew out.

Bang!

"Weird...monster!"

The last person was completely frightened when he saw this.

He didn't even bother to attack Hu Qi.

The spear in his hand fell, and he turned around and ran away.

See this scene.

Hu Qi looked calm. He bent down to pick up the spear on the ground and looked in the direction the other party was running away.

The arm muscles were tensed and thrown out suddenly.

The spear shadow broke through the air.

puff!

Accompanied by a muffled sound.

The spear went straight through the deserter's back.

……

Do it all.

Hu Qi's figure suddenly staggered and he almost fell to the ground.

Heavy gasping in the chest.

"This body is still too weak..."

Hu Qi twitched the corner of his mouth.

Then he walked to the side of the militiaman who had a nail pierced through his chest but was not completely dead yet.

He inserted his fingers into the other's wound.

next second.

The militiamen's bodies became shriveled and gray.

The injuries on Hu Qi's body healed quickly, visibly.

The lead bullet that was originally embedded in the muscles of the back was squeezed out and fell to the ground.

His eyes scanned the surroundings.

Then, holding a dagger, he walked to the pit and untied the two guys who had already been scared silly.

No one cared about their reactions.

His figure quickly disappeared into the woods on one side.

……

Half an hour passed.

Only then did the villagers hiding in the dark tremble and stick their heads out to check.

After seeing the bloody scene on the ground, everyone's face turned pale.
