Chapter 469: Sacrifice
They paid them handsomely, and many of the villagers went. After this time, there was no news of them, and some of the relatives and friends of the hired people went to the ruins and never returned.
Until three months ago, a hired man ran back to the village late one night. Only then did we learn that the real identity of the merchants was an underworld organization called the Golden Crow Gang, and all the villagers who were deceived were detained.
Not only did they not get money, but they were forced to work day and night. ”
Brown Rock said, a touch of grief and indignation appeared on his face.
"Damn! These people are so abominable. ”
Wu Song said angrily.
"The damn is yet to come. When the Golden Crow Gang learned that a man had escaped, they were worried that their excavation of the ruins would leak out, so they sent people over and went on a killing spree in the village, trying to kill all the people in our village.
Half of them died, and the other half fled down the tunnel. After more than 100 years of continuous excavation, the tunnels of Shayang Village extend in all directions, and the ground within a radius of dozens of miles is our tunnel.
There is a hidden mechanism in the tunnel, although it is not too lethal to those monks, but at least it can stop them temporarily. Leaning through the tunnels, the others and I escaped the pursuit of the Golden Crow.
It's just that my sister and some of the girls were taken away by the Golden Crow Gang, and they wanted to use the lives of these girls to perform the sacrifice ceremony. ”
Brown Rock Road, a pained look on his face.
"Sacrificial ritual?"
Wu Song asked, he had only heard of such rituals held by evil cults before, and he had never heard of the underworld doing the same.
"The Golden Crow Gang felt that digging up the ancient ruins would anger the ghosts of the ancient tribes inside, and they did not know where to invite a master, and the master pointed out that the sacrifice of forty-nine virgins could appease the wrath of the ghosts. ”
Brownstone Road.
"What a bastard! What kind of master is this, it's clearly a demon!"
Wu Song said angrily, casually taking the lives of forty-nine girls, this person has no humanity at all.
"We people in Shayang Village are ordinary people who don't know how to do magical exercises. I tried to rescue my sister, but I couldn't find help. Seeing you fighting with the people of the Golden Crow Gang today, I know that you are all monks, and I save you just to ask you to help me rescue my sister. ”
Brown Rock Dao, of course he could see that Wu Song and the three of them were not advanced cultivators, after all, they could stand here because Brown Rock saved them. But with the monks here, at least we can think of a way.
"Don't worry, we'll help you. Do you know where the camp of the Golden Crow is? Let's go explore the camp first. ”
Wu Song said.
"Yes, I'll take you there. ”
After Brownrock finished speaking, he led the three of them into the tunnel.
The four of them walked through the tunnels for half an hour, then they left the tunnels and went to the surface, and walked in the desert for an hour, and finally came to a sand dune near evening.
From the sand dunes, about two miles away, there was a camp.
The camp is large, with a high wall several meters high around it, and in the upper part of the wall, dense spikes protrude. At the top of the high wall, there is a group of people walking back and forth.
"That high wall was built to defend against the raids of the Dust Storm Night Wolves, and people entered and exited through a door in the high wall. ”
Brown Rock Road, pointing to the high wall road.
Wu Song saw that under the high wall, there was an iron gate, and it seemed that the people entered and exited from there.
With this high wall, it will be difficult for outsiders to infiltrate. Wu Song frowned, he had thought that the camp of the Golden Crow Gang would be guarded, but he didn't expect it to be so tight.
"Within a mile outside the camp, the Golden Crow Gang has arranged many secret posts in the sand, and once they find a stranger approaching, the secret guard will notify the people in the camp, and at the same time directly kill the approaching person.
I found this out the first few times I was here. We are now the closest to the camp, and further on, there is a good chance that we will be discovered. ”
Brownrock Road, he has come to the camp several times to rescue his sister, and will investigate the situation here at the risk of his life.
"Okay, let's go back first. It's not early, and it's too dangerous in the desert because of the night wolves that come out of the dust storms at night. ”
Wu Song said that at this time, the sun had set below the horizon, and night was falling.
The four of them return to Brownstone's quarters, and Brownrock brings out some food for them to eat.
There is no way to grow food in the desert, so people here can only collect wild plants and hunt desert animals.
After the animals are hunted, the fur is peeled off and the meat is air-dried, so that it can be stored for a long time.
Wu Song looked at a piece of dried meat in his hand and wondered if he could eat this thing. As a result, after taking a bite, I felt that it tasted pretty good.
The four of them are fed and begin to discuss how to rescue Brownstone's sister.
Wu Song's plan is to find a way to infiltrate the camp of the Golden Crow Gang first, find out where Brownstone's sister is being held, and then find a way.
In addition, he remembered that Brown Rock had said that the Jinwu Gang had locked up many villagers in the camp and driven them to work for themselves. Wu Song felt that these villagers of Shayang Village could fight for it and let them create some chaos in the camp, so that they could also contain the Jinwu Gang a little.
But the question is, how to dive in.
The defense of the camp of the Golden Crow Gang is too tight, if it is Zhang Yilu, it will not be a problem to break through their defenses. But with the cultivation of Wu Song and the others, it is unlikely.
The only way is to let their defenses be disturbed, then Wu Song and the three of them can take advantage of the chaos to enter.
Wu Song also thought of a way to interfere with the defense of the Golden Crow Gang, that is, the Dust Storm Night Wolf.
"Are you crazy? Have you forgotten what happened last night? Master tried his best to cover our escape, and now his life and death are uncertain. You don't want to stay away from those demon beasts, but you want to take the initiative to find them?"
Yang Shuang said loudly, looking incredulous.
Gangfeng and Brownrock also strongly opposed Wu Song's plan after hearing about it.
Wu Song's plan was to take the initiative to find the wolves when they were infested with the night wolves, and then lure them to the camp of the Golden Crow Gang. While the Golden Crow Gang fends off the Dust Storm Night Wolves, he has a chance to infiltrate the camp.
"I'm not crazy, listen to me. The reason why last night was so dangerous was because there were several wolves united to hunt. But actions like last night's will not happen every day.
Generally speaking, when the Dust Storm Night Wolf hunts at night, it is in its own territory. Each wolf pack has a demarcated territory, and a wolf pack can only have more than twenty heads.
With my current cultivation, it is still possible to escape from the mouths of these demon beasts. ”
Wu Song said, he knew that his proposal was a bit shocking, but this was the only way he could think of at the moment.
Gang Feng and Yang Shuang were silent, Wu Song's words made some sense, but they still felt that it was too risky to do so, and if they were not careful, they would become food for demon beasts.
"It's too dangerous, I don't agree with it. If one of you dies to save my sister, I will have a troubled conscience for the rest of my life. ”
Brownstone said flatly.
"That's the only way, if we don't, then we won't be able to enter the camp, and your sister won't be able to save her. Moreover, I did this not all for your sister, but also to eradicate the Golden Crow Gang. ”
Wu Song said.
"Eradicate the Golden Crow?"
Brownstone wondered.
"Yes, the reason why the four of us masters and apprentices are here is to stop the Golden Crow Gang from digging up the ancient ruins. Because once the ruins are excavated, then they may obtain the weapon of the Lord and bring endless disasters to the world.
Although Master's whereabouts are unknown now, the three of us still have to continue to stop the Golden Crow Gang. ”
Wu Song said, his expression resolute.
"Then what does it have to do with going to the Dust Storm Night Wolf and eradicating the Golden Crow?"
Yang Shuang asked.
"After seeing the camp of the Golden Crows during the day, I was always thinking about what to do with them. There are only three of us, and we can't do it alone. Just now, it occurred to me that I could use the Dust Storm Night Wolf.
The Golden Crow Gang designed to trick us into the hunting area of the Dust Storm Night Wolf, and we almost died in the mouth of the demon beast. We can also treat others the way they do.
We can find a way to lure a few packs of Duststorm Night Wolves to the camp of the Golden Crow, and then open the gate of the camp and let the Duststorm rush directly into the camp at night, and no matter how many people they have at that time, it will not help.
I went to see the Duststorm Night Wolf to see how likely it was that would succeed. ”
Wu Song said, just now when he was thinking about how to rescue Brown Rock's sister, he suddenly thought of the purpose of their visit, and then thought that two things could actually be combined into one thing.
"It sounds like a lot of variables, a bit of a fantasy. But I don't have any other way, I'd better give it a go than sit here. ”
Gangfeng supports Wu Song, he is a man of action, and the most annoying thing is to wait, take the first step in advance, and then watch as he goes.
"Okay, that's it for now. ”
Yang Shuang also agreed.
"Brownstone, I know you're kind and cares about us. But this matter is not only about your sister, but also about the safety of the world, no matter how big the risk, we can't escape it. ”
Wu Song said earnestly.
"I see, in that case, then I will do my best to help you. ”
Brown Rock Dao, although he didn't quite understand what connection Wu Song said about the main weapon and the safety of the world, but he believed that Wu Song was doing a big thing.
Shayang Village has lived here for hundreds of years and knows the habits of the night wolf in the dust storm.
Brownstone tells Wu Song that the Dust Storm Night Wolf usually comes out to forage for food when it is young, and retreats into its nest before dawn. At present, in the nearby desert, there are about ten wolf packs in total, and more than three hundred dust storm night wolves.
Each pack has its own territory, and depending on the size of the pack, the range of the territory varies. It is generally within a radius of about 20 miles.
Usually, each wolf pack forages in its own territory, and when food is scarce, several wolves will join together to hunt together.
This kind of synergy happens two or three times a year. Duststorm Night Wolves possess a certain intelligence and know how to store food.
