"Burn these devils!"

"Look how innocent they pretend to be, but they are so vicious at heart!"

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

One after another curses mixed with choked sobs rang in his ears.

Before.

When the Reincarnation Book House timer reaches zero, the body disappears.

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

Consciousness keeps falling into nothingness, as if through an endless swamp of slimy darkness.

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

Hu Qi Open your eyes.

What meets the eye.

I'm in a big hole.

The body was tied to a thick wooden stake, and the thick hemp rope was deeply cut into the wrists.

There were piles of wood and branches at his feet.

It is soaked with rosin.

The surrounding area was surrounded by villagers wearing coarse linen and linen clothes.

The appearance of these people shows the unique characteristics of Caucasians, with thick hair, deep eyes and high noses.

But some of them have different hair styles.

There are even some people with green hair and green eyes.

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

That look looked like he had killed their entire family.

now.

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

At this time, in the crowd.

There was an old woman with a gray headscarf and a wrinkled face who came closer and spat at Hu Qi.

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

"Damn thing, you..."

When the old woman saw that she had not vomited on Hu Qi, she opened her mouth to curse in anger.

But when his eyes inadvertently touched the calm eyes of Hu Qi.

A feeling of palpitations arose for no reason.

Half of what he said was involuntarily stuck in his mouth.

To this.

Hu Qi just took a look and didn't pay much attention to it.

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

He looked around, taking in his surroundings.

It's night now.

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

Because of the two full moons.

Even though it's night.

You can still see clearly around you.

Low thatched houses are scattered on both sides of the muddy path. The thatched roofs have collapsed and deformed due to disrepair, and dry moss hangs from the edges.

The walls are made of rammed earth, with spiderweb-like cracks on the surface, and some places are covered with mud mixed with dried cow dung and straw.

Farther away, there are a few slightly obscured houses.

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

besides.

There were two other people tied to the wooden stakes beside him, both of them were men.

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

Their hair was as messy and tangled as withered grass, their skin covered with bruises was exposed under their ragged clothes, and coagulated blood scabs were faintly visible between their chapped lips.

At this moment, there was neither fear nor anger in their turbid pupils, only two pools of stagnant water remained.

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

It was obvious from his appearance that he had been tortured.

"This kind of start is interesting..."

Hu Qi quietly moved the slightly stiff fingers of this new body, thinking to himself.

"It's just that he didn't even have half a moment to adapt, and he just took over the body of this native."

He quickly sorted through the fragmented memories in his mind by lowering his head, and at the same time looked at the attire of the people around him with his peripheral vision.

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

While Hu Qi was thinking like this.

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

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

In stark contrast to the sallow, thin, and stooped villagers around him, the man in front of him looked like a tall and tall oak tree.

His shoulders are broad and his back is thick, and his strong muscles stretch his linen shirt tightly. The rolled-up sleeves reveal the knotted muscles on his forearms.

His attire is far more elegant than that of ordinary villagers.

He was wearing a long-sleeved linen shirt that had turned white after washing. Although it was old, it was clean and tidy.

A belt made of animal leather was tied around the waist.

The lower body is made of carefully tanned leather trousers, and on the feet is a pair of sturdy black leather boots with fresh mud stains on the boots.

besides.

Under firelight.

On one side hangs a short knife with a leather sheath, and the handle is wrapped with a non-slip cloth strip.

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

"In the name of Seven Gods, Potter, Hawk, and Elu stole villagers' livestock and plundered money. The evidence is conclusive.

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

The man stood on the edge of the pothole.

Looking down at Hu Qi and others, his voice was as biting as the cold wind in winter.

Hear the words.

Hu Qi's eyes moved.

I recognized the man in front of me. He was Rock, the guard of the village chief's family.

Based on the information currently collected.

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

It's not accurate to say he's a teenager.

Because this age is considered an adult in this world.

As for why this situation occurs.

It is because of the recent loss of money, belongings, cattle and sheep of villagers in the village.

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

Of course, Hu Qi, who had obtained the memory of the original owner, knew full well that this was simply a well-designed frame-up.

The original owner was not familiar with the other two people and was beaten while tending sheep.

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

There was also a pile of cattle and sheep belongings of unknown origin.

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

The leader was none other than Rock, who was standing in front of him at the moment, leading a group of militia men to capture them on the spot.

Ignoring the explanations of the three of them.

What greeted them was a severe beating.

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

now.

I heard Rock ask.

The two people whose hands and feet were tied next to them trembled obviously.

Obviously he is extremely afraid of this Rock.

"I... I plead guilty!"

The old man's voice was hoarse with his head lowered. His dry white hair was messy and stuck to his forehead, and his whole body was shaking.

Immediately afterwards, the middle-aged man on the side also spoke tremblingly and repeated the same words.

Their eyes were filled with fear and despair, this was the so-called 'confession'.

But there is no choice.

If you bite the bullet and admit it, you may be able to save your loved ones.

If they refuse to obey, even more cruel torture will be waiting for them, which may even harm their loved ones.

After seeing the two admit it.

Rock had a satisfied smile on his face.

A bunch of cheap hooves, they have to be taught a lesson before they will be obedient.

only.

The next second.

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

See this scene.

He frowned slightly and looked towards where Hu Qi was.

His face also turned cold.

"Elu, I'm asking you something! Didn't you hear it?"

"I heard it, but there are some things I want to tell you before I die."

Hu Qi The corners of his mouth twitched, and his eyes glanced around inadvertently.

Show a smile.

However, perhaps because the corners of his mouth were dry and cracked, such a large movement tore the wound at the corner of his mouth.

Suddenly, the smell of rusty blood filled his mouth.

But 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 instructions first.

However, when his eyes met those bottomless eyes, by some strange coincidence, his boots had already stepped on the branches at the edge of the pothole.

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

Rock didn't pay much attention to this.

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

joke.

As a professionally trained Trainee Knight, usually two or three strong men could not get close to him, let alone the mud-legged man in front of him with his limbs tied up?

"I want to see what tricks you can come up with."

Rock snorted coldly.

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

See this.

Rock snorted coldly.

"Quiet!"

The words fell.

The surrounding sounds became quieter.

Then he leaned down.

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

Poof!

--ah!

A muffled sound of torn flesh suddenly pierced the din, followed by a howl of Rock like a slaughtered pig.

The sound was like a knife, splitting open the noisy crowd in an instant, and everyone's eyes were focused on Hu Qi.

However, after seeing it clearly.

Everyone stood there, and the surroundings became dead silent.

I saw the tied Hu Qi opening his mouth and biting Rock's neck.

Blood was gurgling from between Sen Bai's teeth.

He looked like a trapped animal, with protruding veins on his neck and his jaw firmly embedded in Rock's throat.

Thick plasma flowed down the corner of Hu Qi's mouth, and strings of dark red flowers exploded on the firewood tree branches at his feet.

"Ah, vile thing, how dare you."

Rock's face was twisted like an evil ghost, 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 became stiff.

I saw.

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

The pale gray spread crazily from the bitten carotid artery to the body, and Rock's eyes quickly became 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 rotten tree that had been drained of moisture.

After landing, there was only a mummy covered in human skin, with a wide-open mouth and almost burst eyes.

A scene of panic is solidified, full of tension and impact.

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

Coupled with the face stained with blood, it adds a ferocious look at this moment.

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

His face changed wildly.

Just getting ready to take action.

"——Ho!"

Hu Qi suddenly burst out with a low roar, and the sound wave exploded like substance.

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

This sudden sound caused several people to freeze.

Bang!

The next second.

Under everyone's astonished gaze, Hu Qi's originally thin body could be seen expanding outwards.

Subsequently.

The hemp rope that originally bound him was stretched straight in an instant.

Then, like a snake sloughing off, it shattered inch by inch, turning into fragments and falling to the ground.

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

"Run quickly, the monster is eating people!"

"Oh my god, this is the devil! Seven Gods is on top! Please protect us!"

Until then.

The people watching seemed to be waking up from a dream.

Don't blame them for being like this.

It all happened so fast.

It's not a short time, but only a few seconds have passed.

After reacting, he started to run away crazily in all directions.

Although the four trained militiamen looked a little pale, they did not run away immediately, but held the weapons in their hands.

The four people rushed towards Hu Qi in a fan shape.

See this scene.

Hu Qi bowed down and quickly picked up the dagger Rock dropped, holding it in his palm.

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

Hu Qi did not hide, but stepped forward towards the tip of the spear.

The moment the spear tip touched his skin, his neck jerked away, and the spear blade scraped the side of his neck, leaving a faint line of blood.

At the same time, his left hand clasped the spear shaft like an iron pincer, and the dagger in his right hand sliced forward along the wooden pole!

puff!

Three fingers flew up, and the militiamen let go of their spears with a scream.

Hu Qi, on the other hand, made a backhand move, held the dagger and penetrated it through his chin.

Sudden exertion.

Poof!

The next second.

The dagger tore off the entire lower jaw!

A stream of blood spurted from the militiaman's throat, he staggered back, his hands vainly covered the gushing wound, and he fell to the ground.

--call!

The sound of breaking through the air came.

The second man's sword had hit his head.

Hu Qi seems to have eyes on its back.

The dagger swung upwards with his backhand.

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

The militiaman immediately doubled over in pain.

The next second.

The dagger came down from top to bottom and penetrated the back of his neck, with the Adam's apple showing through the tip of the blade.

suddenly.

"Bang——!"

An explosion tore through the night sky!

Hu Qi's back exploded with blood and he looked up.

He saw a militiaman holding a black iron pipe facing him.

It was clearly a musket.

It's just because of technical reasons.

This musket can only fire one shot at a time.

It needs to be refilled after finishing.

However, Hu Qi naturally cannot give him time.

The figure is like a tiger, leaping out in one step.

Come directly to this militiaman.

The dagger slashed out.

Blood mist sprayed out, and a frightened 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.

He dropped the spear in his hand, turned around and ran away.

See this scene.

Hu Qi looked calm, bent down to pick up the spear on the ground, and looked at the direction in which the opponent was escaping.

The arm muscles tightened and he threw it suddenly.

The shadow of the spear broke through the sky.

Poof!

Accompanied by a muffled sound.

The spear went straight through the deserter's back.

Do it all.

Hu Qi The figure suddenly staggered and almost fell to his knees on the ground.

A sharp gasp in the chest.

"This body is indeed too weak..."

Hu Qi twitched the corner of his mouth.

Then he walked to the militiaman who had a nail pierced through his chest and was not completely dead.

He inserted his fingers into the other person's wound.

The next second.

The militiamen's bodies became shriveled and gray.

The injuries on Hu Qi's body healed quickly and visibly to the naked eye.

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

His eyes scanned the surroundings.

Then, holding a dagger, he walked to the previous pit and untied the two guys who were already frightened.

No one cares about their reactions.

His figure quickly got into the woods on one side.

A long while passed.

Only then did the villagers hiding in the dark emerge with trembling eyes to take a look.

After seeing the bloody scene on the ground clearly, a person's face lost all color and turned pale.
