It’s impossible for there to be no quests!
From the beginning, Luo Tian knew there would definitely be a quest involved. It was just that the conditions hadn’t been met yet.
An alert tone sounded off in his mind.
“Ding!”
“Congratulations to player Luo Tian for triggering the quest: Save Holy Soul Village!”
“Quest Grade: S”
“Quest Objective: Kill Earth Dragon King”
“Quest Time Limit: Three days”
“Quest Reward: One million experience points, 100,000 yuan energy, and a random permanent transformation card!”
“Huh?”
The moment the system alerts stopped, Luo Tian was slightly surprised. He couldn’t help but say to himself, “That’s all for the rewards? Isn’t there some kind of artifact? Last time it was the Heaven Sword. This time, you should at least give me a Dragon Slaying Saber or something, right?”
Apart from a permanent transformation card, there were no other item rewards. There were a few fewer rewards than when he subdued Lin Dong last time.
However, Luo Tian didn’t take it to heart. After all, it was useless to complain. The system wouldn’t make changes for you. A system was a programmed system, and it would not change for a user complaining.
The most pressing matter now was to kill that Earth Dragon King and go to Misty Cloud City to reunite with Bai Xiong, Lin Dong, and the others as soon as possible. Then, they could make it to the assessment. Most importantly, if he could pass the internal assessment directly through Chen Dongfeng, it would save him a lot of trouble.
After all, it was easier to do things when you had someone on the inside.
Seeing that Luo Tian was spacing out, Tang San asked, “Are you confident?”
The Earth Dragon King was very strong.
He could destroy this small village in an instant if he wanted to. Tang San couldn’t imagine that kind of power. This was also the real reason why the villagers were so afraid. If Luo Tian offended the Earth Dragon King, they would inevitably be implicated and suffer as a result.
But now, it was like an arrow shot from a bow that couldn’t fly back.
Luo Tian could kill those bandits, but was he a match for the Earth Dragon King?
Tang San didn’t know. This was also what he was worried about.
Seeing that Luo Tian didn’t speak, his heart tightened. He then asked again, “Boss, are you confident?”
“Uhhh…”
Luo Tian regained his senses, and looked at Tang San before saying, “Confident? Are you talking about being confident in killing that Earth Dragon King?” ℟ᴀꞐȮᛒЁＳ
Tang San nodded.
Luo Tian then said, “I won’t know until I see him. But I will do everything I can to do what you ask. Even if I can’t complete it, I will still give you a satisfactory outcome.”
Tang San was secretly grateful in his heart.
Luo Tian smiled and said, “Don’t rush to feel grateful. I don’t even know if I can succeed yet.”
Right around this time, before Luo Tian could go looking for that Earth Dragon King, the villagers came over one by one. They were carrying all sorts of farm tools, kitchen knives, and firewood sticks. Each of them acted like they had a deep-seated hatred for Luo Tian. With anger in their eyes, one of them said fiercely, “Get out of Holy Soul Village! We don’t need you to take care of the affairs of our village! Get out of here! The farther you go, the better!”
Someone else shouted, “We can’t let him go!”
“If we anger Earth Dragon King, we won’t have a good ending! We can’t let him leave here! We should capture him and hand him over to Earth Dragon King! Killing his subordinates has nothing to do with us! If he leaves, then we won’t be able to escape responsibility, and we will inevitably be implicated!”
“That’s right!”
“We can’t let him go! Surround him!”
The numerous villagers were abnormally fierce. They were completely different from the cowering expressions they had on the ground previously as if they had changed into different people.
Luo Tian’s eyes darkened but he still said with a smile, “If it weren’t for Tang San’s sake, I wouldn’t care about your lives at all. You want to keep me here? Then you should also see if you have the strength to do so.”
As soon as his voice faded, the pressure of a Martial Void ranker burst out from his body. It instantly covered those rushing villagers in a visible form. With just a thought, all the villagers were suppressed.
A look of pain appeared on their faces. They had no strength to resist when facing Luo Tian’s oppressive pressure.
Tang San said anxiously, “Boss, they are only acting like this because they are too afraid of the Earth Dragon King. Please don’t hurt them.”
Before Tang San could finish speaking, one of the villagers shouted, “Tang San, we don’t need your kindness! You damn ingrate! Holy Soul Village will be destroyed by you sooner or later! From the first day you lost your mind, I felt that you would ruin the village sooner or later! Today, you actually dared to go against the eight subordinates of the Earth Dragon King!”
“Shut your mouth!”
Luo Tian couldn’t listen anymore, and with a thought, he directly crushed that person who had just spoken, to the ground.
He couldn’t stand those kinds of people the most.
Tang San said anxiously, “Please don’t hurt him.”
Right after that, Tang San glanced at the villagers before his gaze finally landed on his father. His father was giving him eye signals, telling him to leave this place, to leave here with Luo Tian, as far away as possible.
Tang San’s heart tightened before he looked at Luo Tian to ask, “What should we do?”
He didn’t know how to handle this situation.
Luo Tian replied, “Since they don’t appreciate our help, then why should we meddle in their business? Let’s go. If we leave, that Earth Dragon King can come and kill them all. Then we’ll see if they can still act so arrogantly.”
After saying that, Luo Tian turned around and started walking towards the outside of the village.
Seeing that Tang San didn’t follow, he stopped and shouted, “Tang San, let’s go!”
His words had a commanding tone to them.
Tang San looked at Luo Tian with hesitation. In the end, he still chose to follow.
During Tang San’s hesitation, Luo Tian’s heart was feeling tense. If Tang San didn’t follow him, then he would really leave and be done with it. Fortunately, Tang San followed, so he secretly sighed in relief.
The two gradually disappeared from sight.
The villagers also returned to their respective homes. Their expressions changed from anger at the beginning to fear. They felt like there was a sharp sword hanging over them, ready to fall down and take their lives at any time.
Two people walked one after the other.
They walked for a whole day until the evening when the sun was setting.
Tang San couldn’t hold back any longer and blocked Luo Tian’s path. He then asked, “Didn’t you promise me?”
Luo Tian replied with a smile, “They didn’t appreciate my gesture. Since that’s the case, why should I meddle in other people’s business?”
Tang San’s expression darkened and said, “They’re all going to die.”
Luo Tian replied, “So what? They brought it on themselves.”
“You…”
Tang San’s eyes had a trace of anger in them as if he had just been played for a fool. He turned around and hurried towards the village, saying, “Since you can’t save the village, then I will no longer follow you. Even if I follow you, I will feel uneasy in my heart for the rest of my life. Just go!”
Tang San started running back to the village after saying those words.
Luo Tian watched his back and merely smiled before muttering to himself, “I knew it. There’s no such thing as an easy way to subdue such an awesome protagonist from a novel.”
He experienced no difficulties in recruiting Tang San.
There wasn’t even a little bit of hardship. He was wondering if there would be such a good thing in life.
From the beginning, Luo Tian had doubts. Now, it seemed that was really the case.
Watching Tang San’s figure gradually fade away, Luo Tian didn’t chase after him. He actually hurried in another direction.
