1078: Rescue, trade

Li Village.

While Li Changkong was lost in thought, dreaming of his commercial empire, the shout of a patrolling villager holding a flashlight in the distance drew his attention.

"Village Chief, there's someone here!" The person shouting was waving a flashlight in their hand.

"Someone?" Some people nearby heard this and looked puzzled.

"Yes, someone! It's a person! A living person!" The patrolling villager emphasized with certainty.

Hearing this, Li Changkong's expression turned serious, and he picked up the longsword beside him, then grabbed the flashlight from the other side, and quickly walked towards the outside of the Village.

Li Man and several Apprentice Knights nearby also followed closely behind Li Changkong.

In just half a minute, a core group of people from Li Village arrived outside the Village, and one by one, they took out flashlights, shining them into the pitch-black environment ahead.

Under the light of the flashlights, everyone could clearly see nearly ten young men and women, covered in wounds and in extremely poor condition, who, like drowning people seeing a lifeline, waved their hands while letting out faintly audible shouts, staggering towards Li Village!

"Aren't they from the Renault Family?"

Someone recognized the Family uniforms they were wearing and Wyatt among the group at a glance.

"Living people, there really are living people in Li Village, and their Village is completely unaffected by the Darkness!" Being in the Darkness, Wyatt and the other Family members were all in high spirits!

Before seeing the people ahead, they still felt that everything was an illusion.

Until now.

When those people truly appeared in their sight, Wyatt and the others felt nothing but boundless excitement.

And the other young members of their clan, the outsiders whom they had always disdained, at this moment, gave them a strong sense of familiarity!

"Goo goo goo~"

Suddenly, a sound came from the Darkness nearby.

Hearing this sound, the young generation of the Renault Family, who were originally full of joy, had their expressions freeze one by one at this moment.

"Monster!"

Accompanied by a cry of alarm from one of them, a giant three-legged toad, like a small mountain, directly blocked the path of Wyatt and the other ten people!

Its towering body and the surging Darkness aura around it were like a towering mountain blocking hope, obstructing these people's view towards the place of light, leaving behind suffocating Darkness!

"Fireball!"

Among the ten, a Magician who could still use power gritted his teeth and waved his magic staff at the monster.

"Bang~"

After a muffled sound, the fireball only left a small charred mark on the monster's body, but in a moment, the Darkness aura wiped away the charring, and the toad monster itself suffered no damage at all!

"Woo wah~ Woo wah~" A sound like an infant crying before death also suddenly appeared behind this group of people.

Despair Whisper Demon, another monster!

"What should we do? What should we do! We were about to be saved, I don't want to die!"

"We were so close to being saved, why did we encounter these damn monsters!"

In the group, the man who had previously been ready to give up traveling collapsed again at this moment.

Compared to before, he was even more pessimistic to the extreme now.

"I'll hold them off, you guys take the chance to escape!" Wyatt gritted his teeth, his axe, which had several nicks from battle, was gripped again, and a look of desperate resolve gradually appeared in his eyes.

"It's useless, there are other monsters around, you can't hold them off alone."

The strongest Magician in the group next to him spoke with a hint of despair.

Hearing this, Wyatt couldn't help but look around.

Indeed.

Besides the two they saw at first, there were other monsters around, forming a circle and gathering towards them!

"We're really finished!"

"Completely finished!"

Cries of despair rose again.

Everyone was engulfed by a wave of despair.

"Buzz~"

Suddenly.

A beam of strong light, like the Holy Light appearing in the World, suddenly enveloped the area around Wyatt and the others!

The moment this beam of light arrived, these young people, who had originally fallen into despair, widened their eyes slightly one by one, looking ahead.

In front of them.

The huge toad monster still blocked most of the light with its massive body.

But in the very next breath.

"Croak!!"

The three-legged toad let out a tragic monster cry!

And in the very next moment, its body ignited with a roar in the sacred light!

Under the surging flames, the toad monster and the other monsters nearby that were within the range of the light were also burned by the Holy Light amidst screams!

Accompanied by the drifting gray smoke after a group of monsters perished, the sacred beam of light, set against the heavy snow, gave a full sense of security, directly fixed on Wyatt and the others!

"This is?!"

Looking at the monsters that had turned to ashes around them, and then at the light that enveloped them, everyone was too shocked to say a complete sentence!

"Let's go, don't just stand there." In front of the dazzling white light, several figures were clearly visible under the illumination.

Li Changkong, accompanied by several Knights, came before these people.

Under the cover of the light, these people nodded somewhat flustered and numbly.

"Wyatt." Seeing these people being taken over by the people of Li Village, Li Changkong called out to the relatively familiar member of the Renault Family in the crowd: "What's your situation? Did something happen in Busen City?"

"It's Su Liang!" Wyatt clenched his fists.

After the safety crisis was resolved, the hatred in his heart was able to surge up again.

And through his narration, Li Changkong roughly understood the cause of the matter.

"I didn't expect that even the Holy Light Array of Busen City couldn't withstand the Darkness." He muttered to himself, Li Changkong bent down and picked up the black crystal from the few puddles of ashes that had just formed on the ground.

"So, Su Liang has directly grasped the lifeline of Busen City." Thinking of this point, he also realized Su Liang's current reliance.

If this group of people from Wyatt hadn't come to explain the situation, it's likely that if it had been delayed any longer, that traitor Su Liang would have transformed and become the City Lord of Busen City!

It was precisely because of the news obtained at this moment that Li Changkong realized the true value of the things purchased from the System's electrical mall.

...

"Was it this thing that saved us just now?"

This group of young people from the Renault Family who came to Li Village all looked at the machine on a wooden platform in front of them with eyes full of shock.

It was a huge cylindrical machine, and at the front of this machine was a bright beam of light!

"This is a searchlight, something the Village Chief created. The light it emits can directly tear through the Darkness. Now, five of them have been installed around our Village!" The villager next to them said somewhat proudly.

Hearing this, these young people secretly clicked their tongues in amazement.

Li Village actually had four other such powerful machines that could dispel the Darkness!

No wonder there was no trace of monster attacks visible throughout Li Village now.

With these few machines guarding it, the area around Li Village had almost become a forbidden zone for Darkness monsters!

"Then what is this?" Someone else looked at the oddly shaped pillar nearby with a light at the top, asking with a puzzled expression.

"This is a street lamp, it can also emit Holy Light, preventing monsters from getting close at all!"

"What? This thing called a street lamp can also emit Holy Light?!" In the crowd, some people even forgot their injuries.

Just a few words of conversation, after learning about these truly era-defining things, they were more than just shocked; they couldn't imagine how Li Village could produce these things!

Besides searchlights, street lamps, there were also flashlights, light bulbs, all of which could emit Holy Light that dispelled the Darkness!

"If these things were taken to Busen City, who would still need Su Liang's enhancement potions?!"

One person said emotionally.

His words made many people around him slightly stunned.

That's right, if these things that can dispel the Darkness were taken to Busen City, what right would Su Liang have to jump around!

"I'll go find the Village Chief of Li Village!" In the crowd, Wyatt, having figured this out, became emotional again.

Thinking of the current miserable state of the Renault Family, they dreamed of making that bastard Su Liang pay the price.

Now, wasn't this a great opportunity?!

Some people behind him also followed behind Wyatt. They should have been resting to recover from their injuries, but at this moment, they were in high spirits.

And when these people met Li Changkong, they found that Li Changkong was working with the villagers to expand their territory.

"You want to take these products from our Li Village to Busen City, strike at Su Liang, and return to the Renault Family?" Li Changkong looked at the people who had come and roughly summarized the meaning of what they had just told him.

"Yes, the reason Su Liang is so reckless is because of the enhancement potions in his hands!"

"These things from your Li Village are no worse than Su Liang's enhancement potions."

"If we take these products to Busen City and meet the City Lord, the City Lord will definitely stand on our side to punish Su Liang!"

Wyatt's tone was serious, and his thoughts were clear.

The others behind him also nodded seriously.

"In that case, that would be our Li Village helping you. You haven't even repaid our life-saving grace, and now you want us to help you again?" Li Changkong said, and seeing the expressions on the faces of the people before him about to change, he added: "In this World, everything is about equivalent exchange. It's not impossible to give you a batch of electrical products to take to Busen City, but it requires some price."

"What price?" Wyatt's heart slightly relaxed.

As long as the other party didn't refuse the matter outright, it was a good thing for him.

"Hand over the magic learning books, skill learning books, and Knight cultivation methods you have." Li Changkong's goal was clear.

In fact.

He was very much in favor of letting these people take electrical appliances to Busen City.

After all, doing so, the ultimate beneficiary would still be their Li Village!

Those products came from Li Village. When Wyatt and these people took the things there and showed the City Lord the value of those electrical appliances, the entire Busen City would become Li Village's customer base!

Moreover, striking at Su Liang, the traitor of Li Village, was also something Li Changkong hoped to see.

The reason he asked the other party to take out something.

Was also because those things were indeed what Li Village needed.

Don't look at Li Village's current ease in this Dark World, but its own hard strength was still very ordinary.

In fact, because there was no channel for learning magic, among the more than 130 people, there was not even one Magician.

Scraping something from these guys in front of them would mean that the Magician System of Li Village would also officially begin!

In the current general environment, everyone was busy looking after themselves, and it was likely that no one would break into this Dark World to kill them just because this group of outsiders was learning magic.
