9: Chapter 9 Kang Dalei escaped from prison

Ruan Mi took the lead, Xiahou La was in the middle, and Old He brought up the rear.

But before the three had gone far, they ran head-on into an army of Earth Pig Demon searching for their piglets.

When enemies meet, their eyes are exceptionally red with hatred.

With just a single roar, the Earth Pig Demon nearly tore apart the surrounding flowers and grass.

Upon seeing the monster tide, Ruan Mi and the others immediately widened the distance.

No matter how strong their body refinement was, they were still only three people, while the opposite side was a beast tide.

Before the three could even think, the Earth Pig Demon dashed forward and charged at them, as if there were some deep-seated blood feud between them.

The Earth Pig Demon was a High-Level Monster Soldier, and its mouth of tusks would injure anything it touched.

The three dared not clash head-on and had to dodge to widen the distance again. The Earth Pig Demon pursued relentlessly, letting out a roar every time it chased, which left the three very bewildered.

Even though there was hatred between humans and monsters, it shouldn't be this berserk.

Ruan Mi frowned deeply. After firing an arrow from the monster core cannon, she said in a low voice: "This Earth Pig Demon is strange; everyone, be careful."

Meanwhile, Kang Dalei found an open space, sharpened his knife, boiled water, and shaved the fur.

On this side, the Earth Pig Demon was even more insanely furious.

At this moment, it could vaguely feel a heartache; that was the mournful cry emitted by its piglets.

"Roar~"

A powerful aura swept over the three again.

The Earth Pig Demon became increasingly enraged, and its attack speed reached an unprecedented high.

Although the three were in the Tuotai Realm, possessed Five-Colored Sha, and were at the first level of body refinement, facing the abnormally enraged Earth Pig Demon, they had to avoid its sharp edge for now.

Xiahou La's sword formation descended, and a black silver thread barrier floated in front of the three. Even with the defense of the black silver threads, facing the countless charging army of Earth Pig Demon, Xiahou La's face turned pale, and he immediately spat out a mouthful of blood.

"Run! I don't know why the Pig Demons here have become so irritable; we can't hold them off."

After spitting out that mouthful of blood, Xiahou La knew that the group of Pig Demons here was not something they could resist.

But before he could finish speaking, Ruan Mi fired several arrows in succession, shooting towards the Pig Demon group.

"We can't leave. I don't know where Kang Dalei went. If we leave, what will happen to him?"

After collecting the few monster cores from the kills, Ruan Mi fired another set of arrows at the beast herd.

No matter what, Kang Dalei must not die.

If he were to die, it should be her, Ruan Mi, who personally finished off this bastard.

Besides, the three of them had just started their path of body refinement. If their guide, Kang Dalei, died at this time, all the suffering they had endured would have been for nothing.

Xiahou La wanted to say something more, but just as he was about to open his mouth, he was glared back by a look from Ruan Mi.

"Da Mimi, you..."

"Stop talking nonsense, kill the monsters."

At this moment, Kang Dalei, who had started a fire and set up the roast suckling pig, was humming a tune and singing a song.

It couldn't be more pleasant.

Body refinement requires taking a beating; if you want to break through in body refinement, you must keep taking beatings.

Stealing the piglets, luring away the beast herd, saving the commoners, and also allowing the three of them to gain experience—it was truly killing five birds with one stone.

During the time Kang Dalei stole the piglets and triggered the beast tide, the commoners near Death Fishing Village had basically fled to the nearest Watchtower.

In the Great Zhou Dynasty, it was impossible for every place to be a large city protected by a God Venerate.

For ordinary villages or commoners living in villages, the authorities would send people to build Watchtowers so that when monsters arrived, the commoners could take shelter from danger.

Each Watchtower would have a captain's office guarding it, with about a hundred people or so.

Don't look down on them just because there were only a hundred or so people; they were all veterans who had retreated from the front lines of the battlefield.

Their combat power wasn't quite "one against ten," but one against two or three was no problem.

"I really didn't expect myself to be so smart."

Tearing off a piece of pig leg meat, Kang Dalei lay leisurely on the tree shavings, tapping his thigh, and began to think about his next step.

To resist this monster tide, relying solely on this group of people, their strength was still too weak.

He had to think of a foolproof plan that could both eliminate the beast tide and earn enough points.

"System, tell me, what would happen if I sold the xuanpin star to those veterans in the Watchtower?"

The system didn't respond, so Kang Dalei took it as approval of this idea.

As it stands, Kang Dalei's idea of selling the xuanpin star to ordinary people was undoubtedly the best method; it could greatly increase everyone's combat effectiveness in a short time.

With the blessing of the xuanpin star, who knew how strong these veterans would become.

Thinking of it, he did it. After devouring the roast suckling pig at light speed, Kang Dalei began walking towards the nearby Watchtower.

As for Ruan Mi and the other two, they had long been forgotten by him.

In front of the Watchtower, a group of gray-haired elders, holding swords, spears, and halberds, stood at the entrance. Behind them were rows of panicked commoners entering the Watchtower.

Even with Kang Dalei's diversion beforehand, many commoners still suffered attacks from monsters, becoming their rations and prey.

Kang Dalei was never someone who could sacrifice himself for the sake of the common people of the world.

But at least, when he had the ability, he would not let the defenseless commoners suffer unwarranted disasters.

The God Venerate of Dongning Prefecture—one was old and weak, one was sick and disabled, and one was selfish and indifferent.

He didn't want to become that kind of person.

At least he would try not to become that kind of person.

Kang Dalei walked with firm steps, heading towards the Watchtower step by step.

The translucent nine-colored Sha aura on his body seemed to turn into a beam of light, illuminating everyone.

"Hello everyone, I am..."

Before he could finish speaking, Kang Dalei had long spears pressed against various parts of his body. Then, a burly man took out an iron chain and bound him tightly.

"What the hell, everyone, what is the meaning of this?"

Kang Dalei was stunned; he was here to help.

How could these bastards treat him like this?

At this moment, someone walked out from the Watchtower and said: "Kang Dalei, villager of Death Fishing Village, 19 years old, Marrow Cleansing Realm cultivation, characteristics: immense strength, crime: injuring guards of Dongning Prefecture, escaping prison, colluding with Heavenly Demon Sect, his crime deserves death."

After the person finished speaking, she walked a few steps to in front of Kang Dalei, stepped on his chest with one foot, and said: "Do you plead guilty?"

Kang Dalei only then saw the person's appearance clearly: cold and arrogant, with a tuft of golden short hair, long legs, wearing a pair of wooden slippers—she couldn't be more arrogant.

"Damn you."

Slap—a slap was delivered, and the person said coldly: "Kang Dalei, you had better be sensible. If you dare to be insolent again, I don't mind killing you right here."

Kang Dalei widened his eyes, shocked that this woman actually dared to hit him, but when he noticed the Leng Family Young Master token emitting icy flame energy at her waist, he wilted again.

The only God Venerate Family in Xining Prefecture, which simultaneously managed the military, political, financial, and legal affairs of Xining Prefecture, had the power to directly judge life and death.

The most terrifying thing was that the God Venerate of the Leng family, who had just reached middle age, was already an expert in the Undying Realm.

Seeing that Kang Dalei was no longer resisting, Leng Yanshuang gave a cold hum, then waved her hand, and four burly men joined forces to carry Kang Dalei into the Watchtower.

She hated people who colluded with the monster race most in her life.

Those who resisted the government.

Those who did not follow the law.

As it turned out, this Kang Dalei had committed all three, and all three were her taboos; how could she not be angry?

"Kang Dalei, although your Death Fishing Village is between my Xining Prefecture and Dongning Prefecture, as long as you are connected to my Xining Prefecture, this young lady will not sit idly by."

"Someone, strengthen the defense, protect the commoners, today not a single commoner is allowed to be injured because of this."

After Leng Yanshuang finished speaking, just as she was preparing to close the Watchtower, unexpectedly, a guard behind her came to report in a hurry.

"It's bad, Miss, Kang Dalei has escaped prison."
