The eight human traffickers inside the house, plus the one who had just captured Xi Nuo and Beta, a total of nine human traffickers, all died by Beta's sword.
Beta pulled out the sword that was plunged into the chest of the ninth human trafficker.
The slime sword vanished without a trace, transforming into magic power.
Beta rushed to the wall.
"Ugh…"
This was Beta's first time killing someone, and Beta was not a brave person to begin with.
After killing these nine people, there was viscous blood everywhere, and the gruesome scene made her body instinctively feel sick.
Xi Nuo came to Beta's side and gently patted her back.
He took a water cup out of his backpack.
"Drink some water! You'll feel better!"
"Lord Phantom, am I very embarrassing?!"
Beta said with a pale face.
"Not embarrassing! You did very well!"
Xi Nuo stroked Beta's head.
Xi Nuo's praise made Beta feel much better psychologically.
Beta rested in the corner for a while and felt much improved.
The two entered the house and found a basement where four children were imprisoned: three girls and one boy.
Beta rescued them.
"It's okay, the kidnappers are all dead!"
After the girls came out of the basement, they saw the bloody scene inside the house, and their faces instantly changed.
"Ah!!!!"
A piercing scream rang out; it was from the third girl to emerge.
The bloody scene before her made her scream in fear.
Xi Nuo and Beta felt their ears were going to go deaf.
Xi Nuo waved his hand, and a ball of black slime blocked the girl's mouth.
"If you can scream so loudly, why didn't you scream out when you were captured?!"
The girl whose mouth was sealed glared fiercely at Xi Nuo.
Xi Nuo waved his hand, and the slime blocking her mouth disappeared.
"What do you want to say?!"
"You lowly inferior person, hurry up and take this young lady out of here!"
"Slap!"
Xi Nuo slapped her across the face.
"You dare to hit me, do you know who I am?"
"Slap!"
This second slap was not from Xi Nuo, but from Beta.
"We saved you, and you're still so arrogant, how can there be a person like you?!"
Hearing Beta say this, the girl showed no apology, stood up, and tried to hit back.
She swung her hand, aiming a slap at Beta's face.
Beta stepped back, making her miss, and then slapped her face again with a backhand.
This slap made the girl lose her balance, and she fell onto a corpse.
"Ah!!!!!!"
A scream rang out again.
This time, Xi Nuo raised his hand and cast a special magic barrier, isolating the sound.
"You three, come with us; let her fend for herself!"
The other three children also felt a bit disgusted by this girl.
Enduring their physical discomfort, they left the house.
As soon as the group walked out of the house, some villagers approached.
They held hoes, shovels, sickles, and other farm tools in their hands.
"It's Old Nine, Old Nine is dead!" The village chief saw the corpse at the entrance.
"They are human traffickers!" Beta explained.
"Nonsense, Old Nine is a famous good person in our village, how could he be a human trafficker?!"
The village chief said righteously.
The surrounding villagers also agreed with the village chief, and their eyes towards Xi Nuo and Beta were filled with anger.
Although Beta and Xi Nuo were just children, Old Nine's death must have been related to them.
"They are human traffickers; these three children behind me were captured by them!" Beta explained.
"Tell me, how did Old Nine die?!"
The village chief directly ignored Beta's words and asked Beta with an angry expression.
At this moment, a team of soldiers ran over.
"What's happening here?!"
The Soldier Captain inquired.
"I am the village chief, and Old Nine, a villager from our village, was killed by these children!"
As ordinary villagers, they had no surnames, and their names were given casually.
Beta wanted to say something, but the girl inside the house ran out.
"I am Cabus Narin, daughter of Count Cabus of the Slunob territory!"
"You two, quickly kill these two fellows!"
Narin pointed at Beta and Xi Nuo.
"What are you still standing around for? These two lowly commoners actually dared to hit my face; they deserve to die even more than those who kidnapped me!"
"So it's the daughter of Count Cabus; then we cannot let you leave here. If you leave here, our Viscount will be retaliated against by your family!"
The soldiers drew their swords.
"Yes, kill them, a life for a life, let these little brats go to hell!" the village chief shouted.
"How dare you be disrespectful to a Count's daughter!"
Facing her words, the soldiers and villagers chose to ignore her.
"Lord Phantom, why are these soldiers like this…"
Beta was somewhat incredulous, wondering why these soldiers were aiding evil.
"It's simple; these soldiers were brought by the human traffickers. The dungeon earlier was initially guarded by someone. That person heard the commotion above and escaped through a hidden passage!"
"He called the soldiers!"
Xi Nuo had discovered that person long ago, but he just wanted to catch them all in one swoop; killing nine people was killing, and killing a group of people was also killing.
Xi Nuo stretched out his hand and pointed at a person hiding behind the house.
Beta also discovered him.
"And the villagers protecting the human traffickers must have benefited from them! Don't you agree, Village Chief?!"
The village chief's face looked a bit grim; it was clear he had been hit where it hurt.
"I have to admit, kid, you're very smart, but intelligence doesn't put food on the table; in this world, it's all about strength!" the Soldier Captain said.
"Kid, you know too much!" The village chief also looked menacing.
"Beta, do you have the confidence to take them down?"
Xi Nuo looked at Beta.
"I can do it, Lord Phantom!"
"Then let's begin!"
Xi Nuo waved his hand, and three magic shields enveloped the three children.
"Run, go find your homes!"
The three magic shields floated into the air and began to fly, sending the three children far away.
"Strange methods, must have used some item, right? Soon, this item will be mine!"
"Go, but be careful with your moves, leave them alive; they are still worth money!"
The soldier squad consisted of 15 people. Besides the captain, the other 14 all rushed forward, wielding magic swords.
The human trafficker who reported back had made it clear that Beta and Xi Nuo were not weak.
The Soldier Captain would not be careless.
A slime sword appeared out of thin air in Beta's hand.
In the blink of an eye, it had pierced into a soldier's heart.
"Be careful, this guy is very strong!"
The soldiers dared not advance rashly, all maintaining vigilance. They surrounded Beta.
But their speed was too slow; even surrounding Beta was useless.
Surrounded, Beta still killed one person with each sword strike.
"Everyone move aside, let me handle this!" the Soldier Captain shouted.
Powerful magical fluctuations emanated from him.
The Soldier Captain, wielding a magic sword, rushed towards Beta at extreme speed.
"Clang!"
Their swords collided, emitting a crisp sound.
Then, like blacksmithing, their swords continuously struck each other, producing a series of crisp sounds.
