The old man was still standing at the entrance of Guo Village. His wrinkled face was filled with worry.
The commotion earlier was quite loud, accompanied by occasional screams. It seemed that something unexpected had happened. This made the old man even more uneasy.
Little Bean was still standing beside the old man. His small hands clutched the corner of the old man's clothes tightly. His eyes were filled with tears. The screams made him tremble in fear.
After the screams, there was a long period of silence. Some of the lucky survivors screamed, "Dead! They're all dead!" Then, they ran away in fear.
"Does the heavens want Guo Village to die?
What sin has my Guo Village committed? "
The old man raised his head and cried. He was on the verge of despair.
"Grandpa, someone's coming."
Little Bean saw several people walk out of the forest.
The old man looked over and saw four people walking towards him. He remembered that one of the four didn't come over. The other three were the last to leave.
At that time, Little Bean asked the young man a question. Little Bean didn't understand the young man's answer. When Little Bean asked about it later, the old man didn't understand either.
"Old man, you're safe now. That monster is dead."
Seeing the old man's nervous expression, Zi Chen said when he was about ten feet away.
"Really?" The old man couldn't believe it.
Zi Chen smiled and nodded. "It can't be any more real."
"That's great! The heavens have eyes! The heavens have eyes!" The old man cried tears of joy. He was about to tell the rest of the village.
"Little Bean, come with me."
But after taking a few steps, the old man came to his senses. He turned around and said, "Young hero, thank you for saving Guo Village. This is a token of our appreciation. Please accept it."
The old man excitedly took out the blue crystal coin and handed it to Zi Chen with both hands.
"We didn't kill the monster. We can't accept it." Zi Chen waved his hand.
The old man was startled.
"We're here to check on the unconscious villagers. This senior of mine happens to be an expert in medicine. We'll see if he can be of any help." Zi Chen pointed at Wan He.
The old man was naturally delighted, but he soon said with difficulty, "Young hero, to tell you the truth, Guo Village doesn't have any money left. Previously, many doctors came because of your fame, but they …"
"Don't worry, we won't prescribe medicine, and we won't ask for money. If we can't save everyone, we'll leave. If we can help, we'll help for free."
Zi Chen smiled. He naturally understood the other party's concerns.
Thinking about it, there should be a lot of doctors visiting this place during this period of time. There might be some who sincerely wanted to save people, but there should also be many who wanted to take advantage of the situation and make money.
The old man shed tears of gratitude and warmly invited them into the village. At the same time, he told everyone the good news. Of course, Zi Chen told everyone that the one who killed the Demonic Beast was Zhang Zhi.
Little Bean was very excited because in his eyes, Zhang Zhi himself was a great hero.
Wan He went to see the patients. Of course, he said that he was going to see them, but in fact, it was just for show. Zi Chen was very clear about everyone's condition.
"Big Brother, you're a hero too!"
Zi Chen sat in the village chief's courtyard and looked up at the sunset. Little Bean came closer and said excitedly.
Zi Chen gestured for Little Bean to sit next to him. The child was a bit reserved.
"I'm not a hero. I'm just an ordinary person like you." Zi Chen patted Little Bean's head and said with a smile.
"Your friend can save my parents and the others in the village. He's a hero, and you're a hero's friend. Of course, you're a hero too!"
Little Bean clearly didn't agree with Zi Chen's words. He forcefully explained, "Because a friend of a hero can only be a hero!"
Zi Chen smiled and said, "A hero only does one or a few meaningful things and receives everyone's recognition. That's why they're called heroes.
In fact, before doing these things, heroes are just ordinary people like you and me. "
Little Bean was clearly very smart. He asked, "Big Brother, you mean, I can also be a hero?"
"Of course, when you do something meaningful one day, you'll be a hero in everyone's heart."
Looking at the gradually disappearing sun, Zi Chen said, "But you have to remember, heroes have to live first."
Zi Chen thought of Zhang Zhi. He only came here for the bounty and didn't want to be a hero. However, he didn't want to see a child's hope be destroyed so early, so he stepped forward to be a hero.
However, he almost lost his life because of this. Although it wasn't very rational, Zi Chen didn't think Zhang Zhi was wrong.
This was also why he was willing to give him a high-grade soul weapon. This world needed people like him.
In other words, only when there were more people like him could the world become better.
Zhang Zhi was someone who could make the world better.
Pang Chang was the same back then.
Zhang Zhi returned. When he saw Zi Chen, he was very surprised. He immediately wanted to bow to Zi Chen, but Zi Chen waved his hand.
As for Little Bean, he looked at Zhang Zhi with eyes full of worship.
Zi Chen smiled and said, "Hero, I'll have to trouble you to make another trip to the town. Say that Guo Village has a godly doctor who can save those who have lost consciousness. However, the godly doctor will only stay here for tomorrow and will leave the day after tomorrow. During this day, he will treat everyone for free."
As a Soul Void Realm expert, Zhang Zhi was very clear about the situation of those who had lost their souls. He didn't expect that this young man could actually revive their souls. It had to be said that this was very impressive.
Therefore, this great hero didn't even have time to enjoy the worship of the villagers before he flew to the town again and spread the news.
A day's time was enough for those people to revive.
The sky was approaching. Zhang Zhi, who had walked back and forth, returned and came to Zi Chen's temporary residence.
"Thank you very much for today's matter."
Zhang Zhi thanked him again.
Zi Chen gestured for him to sit down and said, "How much do you know about the Tiger Fang Sect?"
"Tiger Fang Sect?"
Zhang Zhi was slightly stunned. He didn't expect this lord to ask this question.
Zi Chen said, "Tell me everything you know, good or bad."
"The Tiger Fang Sect is the largest faction here. The Sect Master is a Human Soul Realm expert. It's said that his combat strength is very strong …"
Zhang Zhi told him everything he knew about the Tiger Fang Sect. There was almost nothing good. Instead, they suppressed many merchants and did many evil things. However, it wasn't too evil. For example, Meng San's situation, Zhang Zhi told him the truth. This was the first time he had encountered such a situation.
The other party's personality was twisted. He took pleasure in killing people.
Furthermore, Zhang Zhi told Zi Chen that Meng San might be from the Tiger Fang Sect. Perhaps he was a direct descendant of the Tiger Fang Sect. He might have made a mistake, so he came to this place.
That night, Zi Chen left his room and went to the Tiger Fang Sect.
