Kill the enemy and get a wife? I'll single-handedly slaughter my way through the Northern Barba

When the "evil dragon" touched the bamboo skewer, it paused only briefly before continuing to crawl forward.

The sound of bamboo skewers rubbing against snake scales was chilling.

This "evil dragon" is a full six zhang long!

Fortunately, Lin Feng had set up a dragon-slaying formation with enough bamboo sticks to trap it.

Short, blunt bamboo skewers first pierced the "evil dragon's" body, then longer, sharper bamboo skewers were used to widen the wound.

People held their breath, watching the enormous creature slowly walk towards death.

It left a scarlet trail of blood where it crawled, which grew longer and more vivid.

Finally, the "evil dragon" began to realize something was wrong and twisted its body, trying to break free.

But the bamboo skewer had already penetrated too deeply into the body; it couldn't escape at all!

"Boom!"

A thunderous sound echoed in the sky, followed by a flash of lightning.

The struggling "evil dragon" seemed to have been stimulated by something and started rolling around on the spot!

"It's breaking free of the Dragon-Slaying Formation! Stop it!"

Lin Feng was utterly astonished, because a python wouldn't act this way given its intelligence.

Could it be that this giant python has truly transformed into a dragon and gained intelligence?

At Lin Feng's command, the soldiers and hunters hidden in the shadows swarmed forward.

Upon seeing so many people, the "evil dragon," already disemboweled, rolled over and went directly from the center of the dragon-slaying formation to the edge.

Ignoring the tear in its abdomen, it then swam frantically toward the pool.

The hunters used pitchforks, knives, and crossbows to block them, while the soldiers also drew their weapons and slashed.

As a result, the thick scales and mucus covered the wounds, leaving few scars.

Besides, given the size of this "evil dragon," even a few more wounds wouldn't be fatal.

Even more bizarrely, this "evil dragon" actually had two claw-like protrusions at the rear of its body, which helped it crawl.

The "evil dragon" has become a bulldozer, and no one can stop it.

Just as it was about to enter the deep pool, Lin Feng descended from the sky.

"You beast, where do you think you're going?!"

With a flash of light, the Cheng Ying Sword was pierced directly into the top of the "Evil Dragon's" head by Lin Feng, with half of the sword penetrating inside.

The "evil dragon" let out a mournful cry, and with a sudden flick, Lin Feng was thrown into the air and fell into the pool.

This beast's vitality is truly terrifying. After knocking Lin Feng over, it struggled and tried to enter the pool to kill someone and escape disaster.

Suddenly, a thunderclap boomed in the sky.

"boom--"

The sound of thunder was earth-shattering, and then a bolt of lightning struck down, hitting the Cheng Ying Sword!

The rolling thunderous intent flowed along the Cheng Ying Sword and invaded the "evil dragon's" body, extinguishing its life force in one fell swoop!

"Raymond Lam!"

Feng Qing was the first to run forward, shouting loudly by the deep pool, almost bursting into tears.

Wan Qian, Wang Ling, and others also came to check on the situation.

With a splash, Lin Feng leaped out of the water, exclaiming, "There's something underwater!"

The "evil dragon" was struck through the head by the Cheng Ying Sword and then struck by lightning, making it beyond dead.

Seeing that Lin Feng was unharmed, everyone was relieved.

The hunters of Longgu Village knelt down and kowtowed, chanting incantations.

"Thank you, Dragon King, for your divine intervention!"

"Many thanks to the Dragon King for sending down heavenly lightning and vanquishing the evil dragon!"

"Thank God, thank God!"

Seeing this, Wan Qian couldn't help but tease the hunters: "Gentlemen, what does this lightning strike have to do with the Dragon King? Shouldn't you be thanking my master?"

The older hunter looked at Wan Qian with a sincere and devout expression and said, "Lord Wan, haven't you heard of 'Heavenly Tribulation'?"

"When the spirits in the mountains have been around for a long time and have developed spirituality, they must undergo tribulation."

"Lord Lin is a hero sent by the Dragon King to rid us of this scourge."

"The heroes should be thanked, but the Dragon King who sent down the heavenly lightning should be thanked even more."

Wan Qian's lips twitched twice, utterly helpless.

The people of Dragon Bone Town have unwavering faith in the so-called "Dragon King," and no one can sway them.

Lin Feng, shivering from the cold as he climbed out of the pool, said, "Who in the army is a good swimmer? Send more people down."

"The people who died in Dragonbone Town are probably all down there."

Upon hearing Lin Feng's words, the hunters of Dragonbone Town stopped their worship and gathered around him.

"Lord Lin, what...what did you see in the pond?"

"Are there corpses down there?"

Lin Feng nodded: "I didn't have time to look closely because of the rush, but there were at least three corpses. Judging from their attire, they were similar to those of the townspeople in your town."

Upon hearing this, the hunters couldn't wait any longer and began to take off their clothes, wanting to follow the soldiers into the water to retrieve the items.

Lin Feng was soaked to the bone, and since it was winter, the weather in Ruzhou was still quite cold.

Wang Ling and Wan Qian quickly prepared to start a fire to warm Lin Feng.

Lin Feng's gaze, however, unconsciously fell on the dead "evil dragon".

Because it was struck by lightning, the head of the "evil dragon" became slightly black.

Its dull, lifeless snake eyes stared intently at Lin Feng, as if it had died with its eyes wide open in disbelief.

Lin Feng raised his head and looked up at the sky.

But then they saw that the dark clouds that had been covering the sky were beginning to disperse.

It seemed that the gathering dark clouds were there to strike the "evil dragon" with lightning.

Winter weather is dry, and lightning strikes are extremely rare.

Is it a coincidence?

Or did this "evil dragon" truly possess some spirituality, thus attracting heavenly tribulation?

Everything was too coincidental, and even Lin Feng, who didn't believe in supernatural things, began to have doubts.

As Lin Feng was pondering this, he heard a series of splashing sounds coming from the pool.

Soldiers and hunters who were good swimmers had already begun to retrieve the first body from the water.

With the help of those on the shore, who pushed and pulled, the body was quickly brought ashore.

"He really is a bachelor!"

Hunter Xiu Yuan pointed to the swollen, pale corpse that had been submerged in water and said, "He wasn't eaten by the evil dragon, was he? He died from a sharp weapon piercing his heart!"

Lin Feng pointed to the corpse's chest and said, "Look, there are still stones tied to his legs. Someone deliberately sank him into the pool to hide the body."

The others looked at each other in bewilderment.

At this moment, a young hunter muttered, "That's strange. If it's not a vicious dragon that eats people, could it be that there are villains in the mountains who specifically ambush the people of Dragon Bone Town?"

Lin Feng frowned slightly and said in a deep voice, "Dragon Bone Town is located deep in the mountains and doesn't have much contact with the outside world. Who would specifically ambush the people from your town?"

"I'm more inclined to believe that the people came here and touched on some secret, which led to them being murdered to silence them."

The bodies were gradually pulled from the pool; there were four bodies in total.

Upon seeing the corpse of their fellow villager, the hunters all wept.

Lin Feng had people carefully examine the cause of death of the body, and then personally led a team to dissect the "evil dragon's" corpse.

The "evil dragon" is actually a giant python with many treasures inside its body; its snake meat alone is a delicious delicacy.

It has plagued Dragonbone Village for so long, it's time to take its meat back and make a "whole snake feast".

Wang Dahu volunteered to dissect the large snake himself.

He carried the knife to the snake's belly and curled his lip.

"This beast is tough as nails; the contents of its belly haven't even spilled out yet."

"Get out here!"

Wang Dahu aimed his knife at the flesh inside the snake's slightly bulging belly, stabbed it in forcefully, and then slashed forward.

Flesh and blood were torn apart, and a bloody mess rolled out of the snake's belly.

Standing behind Wang Dahu, Zhang Ergou could see clearly and his expression changed drastically.

"There's a person inside the snake's belly!"

Everyone looked at the thing, and sure enough, what rolled out of the snake's belly was a man dressed in tattered silk, his body corroded in many places.

However, his entire body was covered in filth, obscuring his original face.
