Become the strongest in the world of gods through game experience

Chapter 154 Self-Improvement

A faint aura of malevolence emanated from Zhang Xiaoyuan's palm. As he exerted his strength, a wisp of malevolent energy entered the mind of the ability user.

The malevolent energy moved slowly through the ability user's mind. Following Yulia's instructions, Zhang Xiaoyuan searched for the thin membrane that she had mentioned causing unconsciousness.

Two and a half minutes later, the wandering evil energy stopped moving, and Zhang Xiaoyuan felt a slight obstruction.

"If the location is correct, this is the thin membrane that Julia mentioned that caused the villagers to fall into a coma."

At the final moment, Zhang Xiaoyuan became even more cautious, condensing her malevolent energy into a sharp finger and stabbing it hard into the thin membrane.

Boom!

A slight tremor was heard, and not long after, Zhang Xiaoyuan heard a slight cracking sound.

After he withdrew that wisp of malevolent energy, the ability user on the ground groaned twice, his eyelids twitched a few times, and he finally woke up.

"Hiss... Why is my head so dizzy?"

The ability user covered his head and groaned.

When he opened his eyes, he was startled to find three people standing in front of him.

"You, who are you?!"

The ability user shouted, then swung his arms and quickly crawled backward.

Zhang Xiaoyuan: "..."

"Ahem, you must be Liu Neng, the ability user from Liuwang Village? I'm He Qing, a staff member of the town government, and this is Comrade Zhang Xiaoyuan from the military region. He's here to help you solve the problem of the magical beasts in your village."

He Qing straightened his clothes and said with a serious expression.

"Huh? Demons, magical beasts? No way, I've already dealt with all the magical beasts in the village, there aren't any left."

Liu Neng scratched his head and said in a confused tone.

"No magical beasts? Look around. If there are no magical beasts, are these villagers sleepwalking and sleeping here?"

He Qing said in a very serious tone.

Upon hearing He Qing's words, Liu Neng quickly got up, looked around, and when he saw the many unconscious villagers on the ground, his heart tightened, his face went black, and he was about to faint again.

Fortunately, Zhang Xiaoyuan reacted quickly and grabbed Liu Neng.

"So many villagers... are all dead?!"

Liu Neng couldn't believe it.

The second uncle who was playing rock-paper-scissors with him just a second ago was gone when he opened his eyes again.

With a blink of an eye, someone else's life has passed just like that!

"Hey, what are you thinking? If everyone else is dead, why are you still alive?"

He Qing was speechless. He tapped Liu Neng's bald head. Why was this guy scaring himself?

But he forgot how scared and terrified he had been before.

"Thanks to Comrade Xiaoyuan, not only were the monsters destroyed, but you were also saved. Otherwise, you would have been enslaved by the monsters for life, forever collecting nectar from their rapeseed flowers."

He Qing explained.

"Oh? Well, thank you so much, young man!"

Liu Neng excitedly grasped Zhang Xiaoyuan's hand tightly, repeatedly thanking her, and asked:

"Then, can these villagers really be saved?"

"OK."

Zhang Xiaoyuan nodded and walked towards the nearby villagers.

With Liu Neng's demonstration, Zhang Xiaoyuan now knew how much force to use to puncture the thin membrane that had rendered the villagers unconscious.

In an instant, Zhang Xiaoyuan released dozens of wisps of malevolent energy, which transformed into black claws that pressed against the villagers' foreheads.

Liu Neng watched from the sidelines, feeling uneasy.

Was that how he was awakened?

'My goodness, this is too brutal!'

Puff puff!

The sound of cracking continued to ring out.

Perhaps because these villagers are ordinary people with relatively weak constitutions, it took them ten minutes for them to regain consciousness after their diaphragm was punctured.

After a series of wails, the villagers got up from the ground, bewildered.

He Qing coughed twice, stepped forward, and explained what had happened to everyone.

"What? It's that monster's companion who's come back for revenge? That's damn infuriating! It attacked us first, we killed its companion in retaliation, and now it's coming to cause us trouble!"

"What if more monsters come looking for trouble in the future?! This time, a little brother saved us, but what about next time?"

"Yes, the government and the military can't just sit idly by and watch us get attacked by monsters!"

One by one, the villagers surrounded He Qing, pouring out their grievances and seeking his help.

"Cough, cough, everyone, uncles and aunts, don't worry, I, Liu Nengyi, will definitely protect you all, so don't be afraid!"

At this moment, Liu Neng stood up and patted his chest to the villagers, saying...

"Tch, save you? If you were really useful, would we still be lying here in this rapeseed field?"

A fifty-year-old woman said with a dark expression.

"Hey, sister-in-law, that's not how you talk. Didn't I, Liu Neng, take care of that monster last time?"

Liu Neng argued with the woman.

"Hmph, if you hadn't killed that magical beast, it would have attracted an even more powerful one!!"

The woman stubbornly insisted.

"Hey, Hou Guifen, what do you mean by that? If I don't kill the monster, am I supposed to let it wreak havoc on everyone? Tell me, shouldn't I kill that monster?!"

Liu Neng's face turned red with anger. He had killed a magical beast, but he had made a mistake?

"Alright, sister-in-law, just say less. Liu Neng did nothing wrong. He's a true hero who protects everyone. It's all the monsters' fault!"

An elderly man in his sixties stepped forward and stopped Hou Guifen from speaking, which quieted the scene down a bit.

Seeing that no one else was talking, He Qing stepped forward and said:

"The government and military will naturally send people to protect you, but they won't stay here forever. After all, there are other monster villages in other places, and it's impossible to stay in one place forever."

Furthermore, the villagers actively organized training, making the fight against monsters a daily routine. This way, if you encounter monsters again in the future, you will have a certain ability to cope and be able to hold out until the rescue arrives.

And Liu Neng, you need to train regularly too; that will increase your fighting ability.

The villagers did not refute, but just looked at He Qing quietly. After all, he was their savior, so they had to give him some face.

"Alright, now that everyone is alright, let's all go home and get some rest."

After He Qing finished speaking, everyone carried their children, broke off a tree branch from the roadside to use as a walking stick, and headed towards the village together.

"Let's go too."

With all the villagers safe and sound, Zhang Xiaoyuan made her way to the village that Shi Tian was patrolling.

Just before leaving, Zhang Xiaoyuan flicked her finger, and an attack skill emblem fell into Liu Neng's hand.

Although it's only a low-level skill, for those with less talent, mastering a low-level skill is currently the fastest way to improve their strength.

"Hey?"

Liu Neng stared blankly at the low-level skill emblem that suddenly appeared in his hand for a moment, then quickly realized what was happening and looked in Zhang Xiaoyuan's direction.

However, Zhang Xiaoyuan and the other two had already gone far away, reached the village entrance, got into the car, and left directly.

"What a kind person!"

Liu Neng smacked his lips, his heart filled with gratitude.

With this skill emblem, he can better protect the villagers, young and old, as well as the young widows.
