Starting From Zero

Chapter 8 Weak but Powerful

After getting ready, we walked towards the village. After we got closer, we finally confirmed that the black figures in the fields were all humans. Oh no, they should be ghosts. Anyone who sees human form in a place like this is almost like a ghost. These ghosts were actually plowing the fields, but after seeing us they immediately ran towards the village as if they were seeing ghosts. Oh, wrong again! It should be like seeing a person. They are ghosts. It is normal to see ghosts. People will react more strongly when they see ghosts.

"Why are they reacting so loudly?" Yeyue asked in confusion.

"Only the devil knows."

Xiao Longnu nodded: "Yes, only the ghosts themselves know."

Continuing to move forward, after crossing the field area, we entered the outskirts of the village. There was a large open space here, probably a threshing floor. Although this is the underworld, since there are fields, it is not surprising that there are threshing floors. As soon as we entered the threshing floor, a large number of villagers suddenly poured out of the village in front of us. These guys formed a scattered defense line at the entrance of the village with a mess of farm tools, but their expressions looked quite frightened, as if they were not intercepting us, but we were intercepting them.

Although these villagers are all ghosts, the ghosts in the underworld are not as ethereal as they are in the human world. This is the underworld, and ordinary ghosts have no magic power here. The ghosts in front of me are all wearing ancient Japanese costumes. The male villagers all had small bags tied up on their heads, and they were wearing clothes that were very wide in the middle and very small at the hems. Almost half of them had no shoes on, and the remaining half were wearing straw sandals. The clothing of the female villagers is not the common cumbersome kimono, but a relatively simple clothing, and looks quite shabby. However, the women at least wear clogs, which is happier than the men.

This boxer-like peasant armed force made me a little confused. I have been fighting monsters for so long. This is the first time I encountered such a weird situation. There are not many creatures in human form used to fight for players, and even if they are, they are organized weapons like temples and heavens. Those humanoid NPCs all have one characteristic in common, that is, they are powerful. At least so far, no player guild has the confidence to kill a complete NPC group. But these villagers in front of me are like beggars. Are they considered enemies? I could even hear the clanking and clanging sounds of the farm tools in the opponent's hands as they trembled.

After the confrontation, or rather we stood there stupidly for five minutes, one of the other villagers, who looked to be in his forties, came forward. The villager held a tattered sickle in his hand, trembling and said: "My lords, please let Miss Sayoko go?"

"I think there is a misunderstanding, right?" I said to the person, "We don't know Sayoko!"

A voice suddenly appeared behind us. "I've used that trick of yours before, it's no longer new! Boy, did you just come out of nowhere?"

We all turned around and saw another group of ghosts walking towards us. There were dozens of people on the other side, two or three times more than on my side. The three leaders were riding horses, and the people behind were all wearing black samurai armor, which looked a bit like Japanese ninja soldiers. Ninja soldiers are a unique type of army in RB, between ninjas and samurai. They belong to the light infantry type, and they have a flagpole stuck on their backs, making them very easy to recognize. The two at the back of the three people immediately were also wearing black samurai armor, but they were more comprehensively protected than the ninja soldiers behind them, and they were obviously of a much higher grade. The man in front is also wearing samurai armor. He also wears a ghost mask, but his costume is red, which is much more conspicuous than the people behind him, and there are a lot of long silver-white hairs connected under his helmet. It looks like hair, but it's actually connected to the armor.

The team of people approached us in a swaggering manner. Scott felt that we should keep a distance in this situation, so he directed the team to lean towards the roadside and keep a minimum distance from the other party. Those people didn't dare to get too close to us and passed directly on the other side of the road, but they were also blocked by the villagers.

This time the villager who took the lead in speaking trembled even more, even though there were hundreds of villagers behind him. But everyone knows that their combat effectiveness is almost zero. "Lord Shinobu, please let Miss Sayoko go!"

Haha, this request again. Could it be that Sayoko is a very powerful person, so everyone wants to recruit her? No, if it is really powerful, then there is no way to let it go. In other words, this young lady's power is not offensive. Could it be that this young lady has a way to improve her abilities? This is somewhat possible.

The man called Lord Xinwang was the red-helmeted warrior. This guy ignored the villager. Instead, he looked towards me. "Where did you come from? How come I haven't seen you before?"

"Be careful what you say." Scott was not polite at all.

"A house slave can be so arrogant. Do you want to die?"

As soon as the guy finished speaking, a black-armored warrior behind him suddenly threw out a sword from his horse. Scott reacted very quickly. With a backhand sword, the sword light was knocked away. The other party was stunned for a moment, and immediately jumped up from his horse. At the same time, he put his hand on the handle of the knife at his waist. When he was about to fall in front of Scott, a white light suddenly flashed in front of him. This seems to be called the sword drawing technique or something. I heard that it is very popular in rb. It can greatly increase the attack speed and attack power, and it has sudden 'nature'. It is a very practical trick, but it is a pity that everyone here is affected by it. The influence is more practical than that of rb people. The tip of the guy's knife stopped a foot in front of Scott, and Scott was holding the gun against the guy's throat. This is the underworld, and there is no such thing as physical attacks being ineffective for spiritual bodies here. Besides, Scot is also an undead creature. Even if the opponent does not have a physical body, this shot will definitely kill him.

The other party obviously didn't expect that our strength was so strong. The black-armored warrior obviously wanted to show off his strength with his move. Unexpectedly, he didn't hit anyone with his sword, but his throat was blocked. The Ring Knight's gun was no ordinary weapon. The magic on the tip of the gun made the guy know that Lima would be dead if he even moved.

Scott actually learned a cold sense of humor. "Remember to bring a longer sword next time." The knight's spear of the Ring Knight is at least two meters long. No matter how long the sword is, it can't reach it! Scott said this purely to bully people.

"Hey, isn't this Lord Xinwang?" A sarcastic voice came from the other side.

"again!"

The guy who came this time was similar to Xinwang. The difference was that his team was all in white armor, and even the flags were white. The one who spoke was the guy in the front who was leading the group. He didn't even have a mask on, and he was pretty handsome, but he didn't look very comfortable.

"Do the Leichuan family also want to 'meddle' in?"

"As long as you Xinwang family are allowed to 'meddle', can't we let Lei Chuan take a bite? You have captured a lot of talents in the past few years, and 80% of them are not well-raised. You might as well give them to us. Forget it about the Leichuan family."

The leading villager at the entrance of the village said again: "You two adults, please let Miss Sayoko go! Miss, she just wants to live quietly here!"

"Since ancient times, there has been no peace in the underworld. Does Ms. Sayoko think that she should rest in peace after death?" A third party force appeared again, but this time it appeared on the opposite side of the village. This small village is not big, so you can see the situation directly on the opposite side.

There was actually more than one party coming this time. Judging from the situation, it was a large group of people, and they did not belong to the same group as each other, they were just passing by. The villagers were surrounded from both sides and could only retreat to the center of the village to form a circle, but what they protected in the center was not Miss Sayoko, but a well. Could it be that Miss Sayoko is under the well? This lady really has strange hobbies!

"I didn't expect that our Thirty-six Houses would all come together as a group, didn't we?" a leader of the group opposite said with a smile, but his laughter was full of sarcastic surprise.

Thirty-six mansions obviously represent thirty-six forces. I didn’t count them in detail, but I can roughly judge that there are more than thirty forces. The situation of each side here is similar. There is a leading warrior with two personal warriors, followed by a group of soldiers. The only difference is the number of soldiers and their equipment. However, the party with the largest number of troops here does not exceed 200 people, and the smallest number may only have more than 40 people. Of course, I didn’t count myself among them. I am currently the least popular, but I can become the largest at any time if needed.

A guy in blue samurai armor said to the leading villager: "Kimura Sanosuke, obediently open the well of bones. You know how heavy you are."

The villager was so stubborn that even though he was shaking like a sieve, he still persisted and said, "I will never let you see Miss Sayoko."

"Stubborn!" A leader casually threw a sword energy and slashed the loyal villager to the ground. I really didn't expect that the undead here would actually bleed, but their color would be black. The leader said to the other villagers: "I know you all know how to open this well. If you don't want to die, help me open the well."

The villagers looked at the leading villager who fell on the ground. His body was shaking even more violently, but they still gritted their teeth and remained silent. It seemed that they planned to protect Miss Sayoko to the death. Ordinarily, this has nothing to do with me, but their behavior made me interested in this Miss Sayoko.
