I, a mercenary, became a beautiful silver-haired boy

Chapter 999

It was a bit discouraging. The monster that everyone had defeated with great effort before was killed instantly in Elena's hands. No one could accept this fact.

There was no way to deal with it. Elena had received Freya's favor and absorbed the black dragon's magic core in the past few days. His strength had indeed improved greatly.

The most obvious one was his physique. Elena's body had become too strong. He could probably use his body to resist the magic train that everyone had taken.

In addition, because of Freya's gift, he basically didn't have to worry about the magic core absorption leading to the previous overabsorption. There would be no more explosions.

In other words, Elena's upper limit was still very high. As long as he had resources, he could still make his strength move towards a more terrifying level.

"What's wrong? Why are you all looking at me?"

Elena came to his senses and noticed that everyone was looking at him. He had only killed a monster, so why did the people around him have such expressions?

"No... It's okay, let's keep going."

Elena took the lead and responded, not to mention how complicated her mood was now. Among all the people, she was the one who made the most effort and paid the most to become stronger and keep up with everyone.

As a result, Elena came to her senses and distanced herself from them again. This distance seemed so far that Elena had a doubt about why she had paid so much, and the sense of frustration was too strong.

No one wanted to delve into this aspect, and hurriedly shifted their attention to moving forward and fighting, hoping to change their mood by exploring the forest.

"Inexplicable."

Looking at everyone, Elena shrugged and said speechlessly, wiped the blood from her palms and followed everyone into the forest.

Not long after, everyone saw the first village, and Elena's expression suddenly became a little ugly.

This was the first village she came into contact with. Recalling that she had greeted the villagers very friendly before, she was attacked violently by them.

The scene was so horrifying that Elena still felt a little frightened when she recalled it. Those villagers who were obviously not ordinary people were so scary.

Although it was an investigation mission, Elena obviously had no intention of observing from the outside. She walked in from the entrance of the village and stood on the path in the village looking around.

Just like when Elena and her friends came before, the village was still quite lively, and the villagers were holding farm tools and doing farm work.

If Elena had paid attention, she would have found that there were more villagers in this village than before. There were obviously no children and elderly people in this village, but the number of people could have increased.

Just like Elena was observing the villagers, the villagers were also observing Elena and his group in turn. They seemed to be stunned by these sudden "guests" and put down their farm work for a while and looked over.

Unfortunately, their eyes were not friendly. The extremely obvious red light revealed their ferocity, and the farm tools in their hands were picked up again and held tightly in their hands.

"Be careful!"

Soon, a villager holding a bush could no longer sit still, and rushed towards Elena with an inhuman roar, scaring Shirley beside him to shout, and subconsciously wanted to help Elena block the damage with the shield in her hand.

In response, Elena reached out to stop Shirley, and just watched the villager rushing over, dodged sideways, and then grabbed the pitchfork with his backhand.

With his weapon fixed, the villager subconsciously wanted to pull it out, but even these zombie-like villagers were far inferior to Elena in terms of strength.

No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't shake Elena in front of him, and even the villagers' bodies made some strange sounds, and there was no reaction at all when they used strength beyond the flesh.

Elena ignored the villagers struggling randomly on the side, and his eyes were on the pitchfork in his hand. In addition to some dirt and grass residue, there were obvious bloodstains on the spikes of the pitchfork.

I don't know how many lives the villagers here have hurt with this pitchfork to get such a thick layer of blood stains. It must have been used repeatedly many times to make it look like this.

His eyes turned to the hideous villagers in front of him. Although they looked like human beings, their expressions were a little hideous, but their souls deep in their bodies were shattered, and a particularly evil dark energy was wandering in their bodies.

This feeling reminded Elena of the time when she was in Freya Academy. At that time, thoseThe controlled people give people the same feeling as the villagers in front of them, with obvious dark energy on their bodies.

However, the energy in the bodies of the villagers in front of them is obviously more and more concentrated, and it has reached the point of harming the body.

If these villagers are like the man holding the pitchfork in front of them, I am afraid that the whole village will be hopeless. Even if the energy inside is removed, all that will be left will be unconscious corpses.

"Hey~ Let them be free."

Elena sighed helplessly, with a regretful expression on her face. But the action of her hands was quite tough. She pulled the pitchfork hard and kicked hard at the same time.

The villagers who lost their balance felt a huge impact in their abdomen as soon as they loosened their hands. When they came to their senses, their bodies had already flown backwards, and the whole person hit the other villagers who rushed over heavily, knocking all of them to the ground.

Elaina's words startled everyone. They were obviously hesitant to attack ordinary people. Even though they knew that the situation of these villagers was very wrong, they would hesitate to attack them when they thought about whether they could be saved.

But there was one person who did not hesitate at all. To be precise, it was a demon. It was a bit ironic that Lu, as a former cadre of the Demon King's Army, did most of the human attacks.

Now she had no psychological burden to attack these villagers who looked like ordinary people. Even if her opponent was an ordinary demon civilian, she would probably have the same mentality.

After all, this world is cruel. In order to survive, most of the time, you have to do something unethical. If you can't bear to do it, it is cruel to yourself. After all, others may not be as indecisive as you.

When she came to her senses, Lu had already rushed over with her most beloved magic gun, standing behind Elaina, and directly swept away the villagers who surrounded her.
