Chapter 44 Taking ancient ferocious beasts for granted? And you call that laughable? ? ?
Finally, after listening to the descriptions of Pi Hou and the others, and learning that this outsider not only wanted to bully Little Dot, but also spoke rudely to the sacrificial spirit, the faces of the old village chief and the others instantly darkened.
"This is outrageous!"
Especially the strong men of Shi Village, including Shi Linhu, were furious, their broadswords vibrating as they gripped them tightly.
"How dare you disrespect the High Priest? And you even want to kill the little one?"
"This kind of ingrate must not be allowed to live!"
"Kill him! Throw him into the wilderness to feed the ferocious beasts!"
"Yes, kill him!"
In an instant, seeing the murderous villagers gathering in increasing numbers and even surrounding him, Tang Hao, who had just regained consciousness, was terrified.
"No! Don't kill me!"
Looking at the villagers in front of him, each one seemingly wanting to tear him to pieces, Tang Hao finally realized the seriousness of the problem.
In order to save his life, this once arrogant Haotian Douluo actually did something extremely shameful in front of the entire Douluo Continent.
With a thud, Tang Hao knelt on the ground, ignoring the excruciating pain from his broken leg, and frantically kowtowed to the old village chief:
"Grandpa Village Chief, I was wrong! I was really wrong!"
"Slap! Slap! Slap!"
Seemingly feeling it wasn't enough, and fearing he'd be kicked out, Tang Hao continued kowtowing while simultaneously slapping himself hard across the face, the slaps making a loud cracking sound.
"I was blind!"
"I repaid kindness with enmity!"
"I'll never do it again, please take me in!"
"Even if it means working like a slave, I just want to stay in the village!"
This time, Tang Hao was truly afraid.
He had witnessed the horrors outside the village firsthand these past few days. Even a mosquito that just happened to pass by was as big as a fist and could suck a giant elephant dry in one bite.
If he gets kicked out, he definitely won't survive the night in his current condition!
However, faced with his desperate pleas, the old village chief Shi Yunfeng coldly shook his head:
"Stone Village is hospitable, but it does not harbor wolves."
"Go. Considering you worked for us for a few days before, we won't kill you, but we certainly won't let you live either."
"Throw it out!"
After saying that, with the old village chief's order, Shi Linhu, who had been waiting impatiently, immediately stepped forward, grabbed Tang Hao by the collar like a chick, and threw him out of the village.
"No! Don't leave me!"
Seeing himself being thrown out, Tang Hao could no longer care about the pain in his body and hurriedly crawled over on his hands and feet, looking longingly into the village.
He dared not run, much less go far.
They could only cower outside the village like a stray dog, trembling and praying that no ferocious beasts would discover them.
...
On the other side of the village entrance, after seeing Tang Hao being thrown out, Qian Renxue hesitated for a moment before quickly walking forward.
"Hello, sir."
Qian Renxue straightened her slightly disheveled clothes, then suppressed her excitement and bowed gracefully to the old village chief Shi Yunfeng, her demeanor elegant and her manners impeccable.
"I am Qian Renxue, a newcomer here and unfamiliar with the rules. Thank you for your help, young man."
After saying that, Qian Renxue glanced at the little one who was holding a small milk can and had run back not far away.
Looking at the blonde woman in front of him, who was dressed strangely but was very polite and had a faint willow-leaf mark on her forehead that had not completely faded, the old village chief Shi Yunfeng's expression softened considerably.
"It's alright. Since the High Priest has blessed you, it means you are a kind child."
After saying this, the old village chief nodded and then said with a kind expression:
"Come in. Nights in the wilderness are dangerous. You can stay in the village for a few days."
"Thank you so much, sir!"
Upon hearing this, Qian Renxue was overjoyed and quickly bowed to the people of Stone Village.
...
Stone Village, within the village.
After Qian Renxue stepped into the village at the villagers' invitation, she finally got a clear view of the village.
From the outside, it looked like an ordinary, even somewhat dilapidated, primitive village.
A few scattered stone houses, a few cobblestone paths, and stone rollers and millstones everywhere—it looks almost no different from the slums in remote areas of the Douluo Continent, or even more backward.
However, when Qian Renxue was actually there and saw clearly the decorations on the stone houses and the floor tiles under her feet, her pupils shrank and she stood there completely stunned.
"This, this is..."
As Qian Renxue passed a stone house, her gaze inadvertently swept over a tattered cloth hanging under the eaves to block the wind.
It was a piece of purple animal hide, covered in dust and looking dirty, with some tears along the edges.
However, in Qian Renxue's perception, this tattered cloth was still emitting a faint power of lightning!
She only glanced at it, but felt a sharp pain in her eyes, and it was as if an ancient ferocious beast bathed in a sea of lightning was roaring at her in her mind!
"This aura... a hundred-thousand-year-old soul beast? No, it's a hide that's countless times more terrifying than a hundred-thousand-year-old soul beast?!"
Qian Renxue quickly looked away, clutching her wildly beating heart, her mouth agape enough to fit an egg.
A 100,000-year-old soul beast! In the Douluo Continent, even one's own grandfather would fight for it, yet here it's just casually hung under the eaves to block the wind?!
"What a waste! What a terrible waste!"
For a moment, Qian Renxue felt as if her heart was bleeding.
But what she didn't know was that this was just the beginning.
As she continued walking, the sensation under her feet suddenly became somewhat uncomfortable.
Qian Renxue looked down.
"hiss--"
The next second, I was so scared that I almost knelt down on the spot!
The path beneath her feet was not paved with ordinary pebbles, but with round, white teeth that exuded a chilling aura.
Each tooth was the size of a washbasin, and a chilling smell of blood lingered on them.
"These teeth... they're definitely from a soul beast that's at least 100,000 years old!!!"
Feeling the overwhelming blood energy emanating from beneath her feet, Qian Renxue trembled slightly as she squatted down and reached out to touch a huge beast bone that served as a curb.
The animal bone felt warm and smooth like jade, and the flowing runes inside were even faintly visible.
"A soul bone! This is a soul bone!!!"
Upon seeing the animal bones in front of her, Qian Renxue was immediately shaken to her core.
In Douluo Continent, soul bones are the second life of a soul master, and in some ways, they are even more precious than soul rings!
The emergence of any soul bone can trigger a great war and struggle among soul masters.
A powerful soul bone can even provoke a titled Douluo-level expert to take action!
But in this village, these bones that exude the aura of soul essence are casually laid out on the ground for people to trample on, and some are even worn down beyond recognition!
"Good heavens, what I'm stepping on isn't a road at all..."
Qian Renxue swallowed hard, trembling all over, feeling like she could barely move her legs.
Because with every step she took, she felt as if she were trampling on these priceless treasures scattered on the ground, and that feeling made her extremely uncomfortable.
"Big sister, be careful, there are freshly peeled skins over there, don't slip."
Just then, a little kid ran over and kindly reminded them.
Qian Renxue looked in the direction he pointed.
In the drying yard in the center of the village, several freshly processed animal hides were hanging on a frame made of several huge animal bones.
Although one of the crimson animal hides had been removed from the body, it still emitted a terrifyingly high temperature, distorting the surrounding air.
Next to the animal hide, there was a pile of miscellaneous items piled up like a small mountain.
