Chapter 70

Several robbers with knives escorted Li Shaoying and Uncle Zhan into the village. Li Shaoying looked around and saw that the villagers were tied up and lying on the ground, their heads already gone!

The ground was littered with skulls, drenched in blood.

Li Shaoying was utterly horrified, almost losing his soul.

People were slaughtered like animals, and they were the very people he had lived with in the village since childhood—those aunts, those old men, even his young companions!

The entire village had been massacred!

"Second Brother, you're smart. Now the soldiers are all hunting the man-eating demons, they can't bother with us. We can raid village after village, and the money we get will let us live a carefree life forever!" said the man who looked like a butcher.

"Kill them all and throw them into the wild for the wolves to eat. No one will ever find out it was us. Those soldiers and dragon tamers are still looking for the man-eating demons!" the second-in-command, who looked like a wolf, laughed loudly.

"Get rid of these two, and we can leave. Let's start with the little one." The leader of the butchers walked over with a knife, sneering.

Li Shaoying was completely soulless, the scene before him was too bloody and shocking. He even forgot to struggle or dodge.

At this moment, Uncle Zhan stepped in front of Li Shaoying, blocking him from the butcher leader.

"If you want to die, I'll grant your wish." The butcher leader placed the butcher's knife on Uncle Zhan's face and slapped it hard twice, making a terrifying sound, as if he was about to start cutting meat!

Uncle Zhan did not flinch. He took a deep breath and said, "The last person who slapped my face was Li Ying. I cut him into three pieces."

"Who is Li Ying? A cowherd like you, what are you pretending to be? My knife never dulls when cutting meat!" The butcher leader sneered, and the large knife in his hand was already swung back.

Uncle Zhan stood there, his brown eyes suddenly gleaming fiercely!

"Rumble, rumble, rumble, rumble, rumble!!!"

Suddenly, the water wheel in the distance began to spin violently. Through the firelight at the village entrance, the pond could be seen churning as if something was crawling out.

The water level began to drop rapidly, down to just half!

"Boom!!!"

The distant pond exploded in terror, and a black dragon emerged, smashing the water wheel, which was as large as a building, to pieces, and rampaged through the village entrance...

The black dragon was too fast. The butcher leader's knife had not even completed its swing when the black dragon was already in front of him, and like a python biting a young mouse, it picked up the fierce butcher and flung him up.

The butcher leader flew high and fell straight down, and at that moment, the black dragon opened its mouth, allowing the butcher to slide into its long esophagus!

Swallowed alive!

The butcher leader was swallowed alive by the black dragon, and everyone could clearly see his figure struggling in the black dragon's writhing stomach!

The black dragon hovered in the air, its body drenched, coiling above the village. The flickering firelight could not fully reveal its size, with half of it still hidden in the darkness...

Uncle Zhan stood there, his gaze cold. His aura was now the same as the dragon hovering in the air, looking down on these inhuman robbers.

These robbers, with only a bit of brute strength, had no ability to resist such a black dragon.

The black dragon gave no chance for the other robbers to live, swallowing and tearing them one by one. The robbers couldn't even run away, and in a few minutes, they were all killed!

Li Shaoying was stunned, his eyes full of shock.

For over a decade, Uncle Zhan had always been a diligent herdsman, no different from the other villagers in the village!

Why, with such great power, did he choose to be an ordinary person? Why, being a dragon tamer himself, did he not reveal a single bit to him?

Zhan An looked at the entire village that had been massacred.

He then glanced at the robbers who had been torn to pieces, their punishment fitting their crimes, his eyes full of helplessness.

Sigh, they guarded against the man-eating demons but didn't guard against these robbers, and the village is still gone.

He wasn't actually herding on the hill; he was killing the man-eating demons to keep them from approaching the village.

"Uncle, you're a dragon tamer??" Li Shaoying said, disbelieving.

"I'm not a dragon tamer, just have some other abilities. The black python dragon is more humane. Although it doesn't have a human's spiritual bond, it has always been by our side. From now on, take care of it. I've used my power, and my enemies might come looking, so I have to leave." Zhan An sighed deeply.

Li Shaoying was stunned, he had many more questions, and with the village massacred, where would he go?

Li Shaoying and the black python dragon continued to follow Zhan An. Zhan An waved his hand and said, "Go back to the Dragon Taming Academy and take good care of him."

"Ao wu!"

Li Shaoying, tears in his eyes, was about to respond when he saw the black python dragon raise its head and respond loudly to Zhan An as he left.

Li Shaoying's tears flowed even more.
