I created a paradise in the folk world.

Chapter 104 Cannot Be Let Go

The moment the sound fell.

A chilling, bone-chilling aura wafted by on the wind.

Shen Yi and the others felt their scalps rip open instantly, every pore trembling, as if they were in an ancient ice cave!

Then they saw a gray-white ghostly figure standing silently in front of them.

No one knows when it arrived.

It's like a ghost in the darkness, completely obscuring its presence.

Only by seeing it with your own eyes can you truly grasp its existence.

At this moment, Shen Yi's breath almost stopped, and his pupils trembled wildly.

Because a grayish-white hand suddenly reached out and grabbed at his face.

If he were to be caught, he would surely die; his head would probably explode like a watermelon!

Shen Yi's current feeling is very subtle; he can clearly see the movements of the gray-white ghost hand.

From his current perspective, the ghost hand's speed has slowed down considerably.

Talent! The Spirit of the Moon Worshipper!

Under the moonlight, his reaction speed in the face of crisis reached an inhuman level.

The oppressive feeling brought about by the appearance of the white-faced demon also dissipated in an instant.

Swah—

Relying on his intuition, Shen Yi dodged to the side, his left foot suddenly touching the ground, and he used the momentum to leap into the air, quickly flipping once in the air!

He successfully dodged it!

And after that fleeting afterimage, Shen Yi had already landed behind the white-faced ghost.

Before them lay the back of the white-faced demon's head, which was devoid of a skull and exposed most of its brain.

Shen Yi's movements were swift as lightning, and he precisely and ruthlessly grasped the Spirit Arrow at his waist!

Without the slightest hesitation.

With his murderous intent reaching its peak of rage, he gathered all his power into the Spirit Fiend Arrow and unleashed it!

The Spirit Arrow pierced the white-faced ghost's back!

"ah!!!"

The white-faced ghost shrieked in pain, casually striking Shen Yi behind it and sending him flying. It staggered forward, easily smashing through the level 1 Yin wood wall in the blink of an eye.

[Durability: 100 → 27]!

The spirit patterns on the Yinmu wall were almost instantly eroded by the white-faced ghost.

Shen Yi felt a tremendous force coming from the white-faced ghost's arm. He was hit casually, and his entire body flew backward seven or eight meters like a cannonball.

It finally crashed into the stone wall and came to a stop.

If an ordinary person were struck by the White-Faced Demon's attack, their physical body would likely be instantly reduced to a bloody mist, their flesh turning into a bloody mess.

but.

The white-faced demon's attack landed on Shen Yi's body, who was wearing Yin Wood Armor.

Its unparalleled and terrifying power is countered by the two properties of the Shadowwood Armor: "Sturdiness" and "Power Reduction".

The white-faced demon's attacks were gradually reduced until only a small amount of power remained to truly reach Shen Yi.

However, when Shen Yi crashed into the stone wall and fell to the ground, he still felt an indescribable churning pain in his internal organs. He quickly rolled over and got up, grimacing in pain.

I checked the durability of the Yin Wood Breastplate.

[Durability: 100 → 75]!

It only lost 25 points of durability.

Having withstood this attack, upgrading the Yin Wood Breastplate was definitely worth the investment!

"Village Chief Shen! We'll figure out a way to deal with the White-Faced Demon. Please take Village Chief Gao back with you, and do it quickly!"

""

Tang Qiang and Zhao Hai had already seized the opportunity and acted quickly to escort Shen Kun and the others out. Then they looked at Shen Yi and said in an urgent tone.

"Village Chief Tang, what happened?" Without any delay, Shen Yi got up and carried the critically injured Gao Qu on his back, asking quickly.

"We have inadvertently triggered the monster horde disaster in the Blackwater Swamp."

Tang Qiang's tone was extremely heavy.

hiss-

The monster horde has completely erupted?!

Shen Yi's heart skipped a beat.

"The village is about to be overwhelmed. In order to prevent the second-tier monsters from reaching the village, we have no choice but to lure them in other directions."

"I didn't expect to find you here, Village Chief Shen."

As Tang Qiang was speaking, he suddenly remembered that someone had told him earlier that Shen Yi would try to deal with the Lantern Ghost's lair today.

But he didn't expect that they would actually stay there that night and start ransacking the lantern ghost's lair.

Tang Qiang glanced at the lantern ghost corpses scattered on the ground and couldn't help but feel a little horrified.

Without further thought, he said urgently, "Village Chief Shen, we will continue to hold off these second-tier monsters. We'll trouble you to bring Village Chief Gao back to the village, and—"

Tang Qiang paused, then said earnestly, "Village Chief Shen, I hope you can help protect Yanling Village. The lives of tens of thousands of people are in that village!"

"If we fall, the spirits will gain tens of thousands of human auras, which will likely spawn even more second-tier spirits!"

"At that time, the villages around us may face an existential crisis, with no one surviving!"

Shen Yi took a deep breath and slowly said, "Village Chief Tang, I dare not make any promises. I can only say that I will do my best."

""

"I'm content with just hearing that."

Tang Qiang smiled, then suddenly focused his gaze on the other two second-tier monsters that had already charged over!

Red Fire King!

Mud-spirited child!

There's also a white-faced demon!

In fact, besides the Shadow Leaf Demon they killed at the beginning, they also killed another Shadow Leaf Demon on their way here!

Gao Qu was seriously injured when he was ambushed by the Mud Spirit Child while trying to kill the withered shadow leaf demon. His wrist bone and tendons were broken!

After such a fierce battle, Gao Qu will likely find it difficult to recover.

"Walk!!"

Zhao Hai raised his heavy hammer, stomped the ground, and with the hammer he created a gust of wind, charged towards the Red Fire King and the Mud Spirit Child!

As for the White-Faced Ghost, he had already suffered a serious injury when Shen Yi pierced his back with the Spirit Fiend Arrow.

It frantically tore apart the dark wood wall, then suddenly turned and rushed into the darkness.

Tang Qiang stared intently at its destination, then roared and pounced.

We can't let the white-faced ghost out of our sight!

Otherwise, their situation would be even more dangerous!

The two joined forces to entangle the three-headed second-tier monster.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Shen Yi and the others hoisted the seriously injured Gao Qu onto their backs, took off at full speed, and fled the place without looking back!

Faced with the choice between a second-tier monster and a first-tier monster calamity, Shen Yi chose the latter without hesitation!

At least, with their current strength, any more first-tier monsters would just be free kills.

Although the number was rather large, Shen Yi continued to manufacture a few more wooden puppet soldiers to form a defensive line.

However, when facing second-tier monsters, one could lose their life at any moment!

If Shen Yi hadn't used his full reaction speed, his head would probably have been crushed by the white-faced ghost's rapid movement!

Fortunately, Shen Yi's physical enhancement was greatly amplified under the moonlight.

At this moment, his escape speed was no slower than that of a martial artist in the Solidifying Origin Realm.

With a single powerful step, one can fly low and skim more than ten meters, and in the blink of an eye, one can cover a hundred steps—it's no problem at all!

It won't be easy for the white-faced ghost to catch up.

However, Shen Kun and his group were a bit slow.

Behind them, Mo Guanhai and the others stared blankly at Shen Yi's soaring figure, completely astonished.

Shen Yi was actually faster than him, a ninth-level Qi and Blood Realm cultivator!

In just a few breaths, the group could barely see Shen Yi anymore.

Shen Yi did not stop.

He wasn't worried about Shen Kun and the others.

After all, the wooden puppet soldiers were far behind, and in terms of mobility, they were not much different from Shen Kun and his group.

With the protection of the wooden puppet soldiers, Shen Kun and his group will be very safe.

At this moment, Shen Yi was thinking about returning to Yanling Village as soon as possible to check on the current situation of the village.

If the village had already fallen, he would immediately retreat and lead Shen Kun and the others to find a place to build a wooden house!

Then upgrade the wooden house!

With the shelter of the wooden house, they no longer needed to worry about attacks from second-tier monsters.

But if the village hadn't fallen, he would have done everything in his power to protect Rock Ridge Village and suppress this monster horde—"At least tens of thousands of first-tier mid-level or higher monsters, and countless first-tier low-level monsters—"

After this tidal wave disaster, Shen Yi could foresee just how terrifying his gains would be!

For him, this was a stroke of luck!

Not long after.

Shen Yi could already see the outline of the village with flames shooting into the sky in the distance.

The sounds of fighting and battle echoed through the sky!

"Thank goodness! They're still holding out!"

Shen Yisong breathed a sigh of relief. He stopped and waited for Mo Guanhai and the others to catch up, intending to work together to break through the obstacle of the monster tide and enter the village.

"Village Chief Shen! Watch out!"

However, at that moment, a voice suddenly rang out from beside him.

Shen Yi was startled.

Then I felt a gust of wind sweep over the back of my head!

Shen Yi instinctively turned around and kicked the other person away!

The other person immediately let out a muffled groan of pain and flew backward.

However, at this moment, two more gusts of evil wind struck.

One left and one right!

A sharp blade gleamed in the moonlight, emerging from the darkness, aimed straight for Shen Yi's chest and throat!

Shen Yi remained calm.

He can even dodge the attacks of second-tier monsters, so how could these two mere Qi and Blood Realm martial artists possibly do anything to him?

Shen Yi suddenly swung his body backward, narrowly avoiding the two incoming blades.

Then, he flipped backward and landed his feet precisely on the chests of the two men!

puff!puff!

Two muffled thuds sounded.

The two men's eyes bulged out, and their eye sockets suddenly became bloodshot.

The kick was so painful that they couldn't even scream; all they could manage was a whimper.

Bang! !

They landed with a thud, making a heavy sound, and were then dragged inside by people who appeared out of nowhere in the darkness.

Shen Yi's eyes sharpened.

I was just about to chase after them.

Then he heard the same voice that had warned him earlier, now faintly sounding again: "Village Chief Shen, don't chase them. Their concealment techniques are very sophisticated—if you rashly pursue them, you might end up in a dangerous and passive situation."

Shen Yi looked in the direction of the sound.

They discovered that a person was lying quietly in the grass not far away.

He thought for a moment, then decided not to chase after the man, but instead went to check on him first.

"You are—Village Chief Li!?"

Soon, Shen Yi saw that the person lying in the grass in front of him was actually Li Jun!

"Village Chief Li, what are you doing here? What happened to you? And who were those people just now?"

Shen Yi spoke extremely quickly.

He crouched down to examine Li Jun's injuries, and soon his expression became extremely serious.

Li Jun's chest was pierced by several bloody holes from the blade, and even his heart was pierced. Blood kept gushing out, and his clothes were already stained red.

Judging from these injuries, he probably won't survive.

Li Jun looked at Shen Yi, who was squatting in front of him, and a glimmer of light appeared in his gloomy eyes. He opened his mouth and said, "Village Chief Shen—I came here after those people. I don't know what they did to the seriously injured villagers, but it definitely wasn't anything good."

"After I caught up, I was attacked by—these five people—and it was, it was too late for me—"

Li Jun, his hand stained with blood, gripped Shen Yi's sleeve, his eyes pleading: "Village Chief Shen, our two villages are very close. I beg you, please take care of the villagers of my Pucao Village—and—my children—"

Under the cover of darkness.

It was as if he was using his last shred of life to make a final request to Shen Yi.

Shen Yi didn't make any promises, but simply nodded: "Village Chief Li, I will definitely do my best."

"well--"

A smile appeared on Li Jun's face, and he softly murmured two words: "Thank you."

The next moment, his hands fell limply to his sides, his eyes closed, and he gradually lost his breath.

Shen Yi's eyes were heavy.

He met Li Jun for the first time yesterday and had a good impression of him.

The other party also said that he would send all the Yin Soul Wood in his village to him later.

Unexpectedly—

In just one day, Li Jun encountered misfortune.

Shen Yi sighed inwardly for him.

but----

A sharp, cold glint flashed in Shen Yi's eyes.

Li Jun did not die at the hands of spirits.

It's in the hands of those few people!

Who exactly are they?

Why kill Li Jun!

Shen Yi suddenly realized that they seemed to have fallen into a terrible vortex of conspiracy.

They attempted to devour them all!

"Whoever dares to lay a hand on me, I will not let them get away with it!"

A strong killing intent rose in Shen Yi's heart.

He's going to find these people!

Hang them all on the city wall and leave their corpses exposed!

"Ayi!"

"Big brother!"

At this time.

Shen Kun and the others rushed over.

Their expressions changed upon seeing Li Jun's body.

"This is----"

"Li Jun has been murdered."

Shen Yi carefully examined Li Jun's body, stood up, and said with a cold expression, "There's a conspiracy here that we don't know about. Perhaps the matter of the Blackwater Swamp isn't as simple as it seems."

"They might still be watching this place. We can't stay any longer. Let's hurry back to the village."

Shen Yi gave the wooden puppet soldiers orders to charge into the monster horde and clear a path for everyone.

"Who's behind us?"

"It's Village Chief Shen!"

"Quick! Get ready to open the door and let them in!"

The group, who were struggling to resist the monsters, suddenly noticed that someone had broken in from behind the monster tide and was rushing towards them.

Soon, everyone saw Shen Yi's face. When they saw the wooden puppet beside Shen Yi constantly killing monsters, their faces immediately lit up with joy.

The wooden puppet cultivator's methods are indeed extraordinary!

"Quickly, provide backup!"

After a while.

Shen Yi was then surrounded and protected by the crowd.

"Village Chief Shen, why are you back from outside?"

"It's a long story!"

Shen Yi was the first to climb onto the wall, and said in a deep voice, "Today's battle is a matter of life and death; we absolutely cannot lose!"

"Everyone, prepare to fight back!"
