God Slayer: Make Up for the Past

Chapter 170: Deserted Village New Chapter: Mission on Shoulder

The call from Maple Valley came suddenly, like a stone thrown into Chu Feng's calm heart.

He stroked the letter again and again, and the thin piece of paper seemed to weigh a thousand pounds in his hands.

Tomorrow at noon, new tasks, new challenges, new unknowns... everything is waiting for him.

Pan Yue packed his bags and saw Chu Feng was still in a daze, so he walked over and patted him on the shoulder.

"Are you still thinking about Miss Liu Yue?" There was a hint of teasing in his tone, but also mixed with understanding.

Chu Feng sighed and did not deny it.

In the past few days in the deserted village, he and Liu Yue experienced the test of life and death, and their feelings for each other also quietly warmed up.

Now that we are about to part, I naturally feel a little reluctant.

"All good things must come to an end," Pan Yue consoled him. "Our duty as Night Watchmen is to protect the peace of our area. Perhaps after this mission is over, we can come back and take a look."

Chu Feng nodded, his eyes swept across the quiet village, and a warm feeling surged in his heart.

He remembered the villagers' grateful eyes, Liu Yue's bright smile, and the kind face of Village Chief Wang... These will become his motivation to move forward.

The news of his departure quickly spread throughout the village.

The villagers came to the village entrance to bid farewell to the two young night watchmen.

Village chief Wang even personally delivered a basket of fresh fruits and vegetables, all grown by the villagers themselves, filled with the villagers' gratitude to Chu Feng and Pan Yue.

"Chu Feng, Pan Yue, you are both good children," Village Chief Wang said earnestly, holding Chu Feng's hand. "Thanks to you, our village was saved this time. No matter where you go in the future, remember that this will always be your home."

Chu Feng took the basket and was deeply moved. "Village Chief Wang, don't worry, we will work hard to complete our mission and protect more places like this deserted village."

Liu Yue stood in the crowd, her eyes slightly red.

She did not step forward, but just stared at Chu Feng silently, her eyes full of reluctance and worry.

Chu Feng also saw her, and their eyes met, and everything was said without words.

After bidding farewell to the villagers, Chu Feng and Pan Yue set out on the road to Maple Valley. The setting sun stretched their shadows very far.

"What do you think the mission will be this time?" Chu Feng broke the silence.

Pan Yue shook his head. "The letter doesn't mention anything. I'm afraid we won't know until we get to Maple Valley." He paused, his tone suddenly becoming serious. "But I have a bad feeling..." He stopped abruptly, his gaze cast into the distance, where a shadow was quietly spreading...

The afterglow of the setting sun sprinkled on the ridges of the fields in the deserted village, casting a layer of golden light on the two people who were about to go on a long journey.

The villagers gathered at the entrance of the village, bidding farewell to Chu Feng and Pan Yue reluctantly.

Village Chief Wang handed Chu Feng a basket of fresh fruits and vegetables, his weather-beaten face filled with gratitude. "Chu Feng, thanks to you and Pan Yue, our deserted village was able to escape disaster this time. These are just a little token of our gratitude from the villagers. Take them with you and enjoy them on your journey."

Chu Feng took the basket, which was heavy, as if it contained the villagers' love.

He nodded solemnly: "Village Chief Wang, don't worry, we will continue to work hard to protect more people in need." A warm feeling surged in his heart. He felt that his efforts were recognized. This comfort was more precious than any reward.

At this moment, Liu Yue squeezed out from the crowd, her eyes red and her voice trembling: "Chu Feng, I... I want to go with you." Her words were like a stone thrown into a calm lake, causing ripples.

The villagers began to whisper, and Liu Yue's parents' faces changed drastically, and they pulled her back.

"Nonsense! How can a girl like you go out with them?" Liu Yue's father scolded loudly, his tone leaving no room for questioning.

Liu Yue's mother also advised: "Yue'er, be obedient. They are night watchmen who have to travel all over the place. If you follow them, not only will you suffer, but you will also cause trouble for them."

Liu Yue struggled, tears welling up in her eyes: "I'm not afraid of hardship, I just want... just want to be with Chu Feng." She looked at Chu Feng stubbornly, her eyes full of expectation and despair.

Chu Feng's heart suddenly tightened. He understood Liu Yue's feelings, but he also knew that the life of a night watchman was full of dangers, and he couldn't let her take risks with him.

Just then, a shrill scream pierced the quiet air.

In the distance, a group of dark little monsters, shaped like spiders but with bat-like wings, were rushing towards the village.

They make sharp screams that are creepy.

The air was filled with a sickening stench, as if the breath of death was approaching.

Pan Yue's face changed and he whispered, "Oh no, it's a bloodthirsty spider!" He drew the long sword from his waist, and the sword reflected a cold light in the setting sun.

"Chu Feng, prepare to fight!"

Chu Feng didn't have time to think about it. He stuffed the basket in his hand to Village Chief Wang who was standing beside him. He drew his long knife, stared at the approaching demon spiders with a sharp gaze, and said in a deep voice: "Protect the villagers!"

The bloodthirsty spiders came like a tide, baring their fangs and claws, making shrill hissing sounds, and the air was filled with a disgusting stench.

Chu Feng's eyes flashed, and he swung his long sword. The sword light was like snow, and the sharp sword energy cut the first few demon spiders that pounced on him into two pieces.

Green blood spurted out, corroding the ground and making a sizzling sound.

Pan Yue followed closely behind, dancing the sword in his hand skillfully, forming an impenetrable sword net, blocking the demon spiders that tried to bypass Chu Feng and attack the villagers one by one.

He moved nimbly among the demon spiders, and every strike of his sword was precise and deadly.

The two of them cooperated well, like a solid wall of steel, blocking the attack of the demon spiders outside the village.

"Everyone, come into the house quickly! Close the doors and windows!" Liu Yue rushed into the crowd and helped the villagers evacuate despite her parents' obstruction.

Her clear voice was exceptionally clear amidst the chaos, carrying a reassuring power.

Seeing Liu Yue’s brave figure, Chu Feng felt warm in his heart and swung his sword with more force.

The battle continued. Although Chu Feng and Pan Yue fought hard, the number of bloodthirsty spiders was too large. Gradually, the two began to feel overwhelmed.

Beads of sweat appeared on Chu Feng's forehead, and his palms ached slightly.

Pan Yue's breathing also became rapid, and the speed of his sword moves slowed down slightly.

At this moment, Liu Yue suddenly ran to Chu Feng and handed him a water bag, "Chu Feng, drink some water!" Her tone was firm and her eyes were full of worry.

Chu Feng took the water bag, tilted his head back and took a few gulps. A cool feeling flowed through his body, and his fatigue was slightly relieved.

He looked at Liu Yue, his eyes full of gratitude and tenderness.

Just when Chu Feng was distracted, a bloodthirsty demon spider pounced on him from the side, and its sharp claws went straight for his throat.

At the critical moment, Pan Yue flew out and split the spider in half with one sword, but he was also splashed by the spider's venom, and a charred mark appeared on his arm.

"Pan Yue!" Chu Feng exclaimed, and hurriedly supported him. Pan Yue's face was pale, and he said, trying hard to endure the pain: "I'm fine, be careful!"

Chu Feng's eyes swept across the battlefield and found that the attacks of these demon spiders did not seem to be random. Their targets were clear and their attack routes were unusually unified, as if... as if someone was directing them.

He narrowed his eyes, trying to find the figure of the controller among the spiders. His sight passed through the distant woods, and a dark shadow flashed by...
