Chapter 1017: The Village
Hearing a thunderclap, the wolf summoned a bolt of lightning again, slashing its head at the head of the jade-faced dragon.
This time, the jade-faced dragon finally couldn't bear it anymore, and after its huge body was shaky, it threw itself to the ground.
At this point, the three evils of the Flying Dragon Gang were all ambushed.
Wu Song and the others continued on their way to the Far North.
Four days later, they came to a hill. After another day's journey over the mountain, they would reach the edge of the Far North.
The land of the extreme north is icy and snowy all year round, and when Wu Song and the others came to this small mountain, they obviously felt that the temperature was much lower than in other places.
In the evening, they came to a wooded area near the hill and decided to camp out in the woods that night.
Wu Song lit a fire in the clearing in the forest, and Gangfeng and the wolf went to the woods, hoping to catch some game.
After a while, Wu Song and Yang Shuang Yunrong were talking about the scenery here, and suddenly the wolf walked over quickly.
Wu Song looked up and saw a somewhat panicked look on the wolf's face, and couldn't help but be surprised, "What's the matter?"
"Angkor, go and see, something is wrong. The wolf's voice trembled with a hint of trembling.
Wu Song asked Yang Shuang and Yun Rong to stay by the fire, and he followed the wolf into the woods.
They walked in the woods for a while, then turned a corner, and suddenly their eyes were clear.
A village appeared in front of Wu Song's eyes, and on the streets of the village, corpses were lying crookedly, and a strong smell of blood filled the air.
Wu Song can also be regarded as a person who has been on the battlefield, but after seeing the scene in front of him, he still has a feeling of vomiting.
And Gangfeng was holding on to a tree, already vomiting.
Because the scene in front of me is really tragic.
The corpses of a considerable number of people are like broken sacks cut by scissors, and their bodies are covered with long cuts, blood, internal organs, red, white... The contents of the body flowed to the outside.
Some people have lost their heads, and some have been cut off by the waist, and the upper body is still there, while the lower body is nowhere to be found.
For a moment, Wu Song thought that he had entered purgatory on earth.
"What's going on?" Wu Song turned his head to look at the general wolf.
"I don't know, Gangfeng and I chased a rabbit and came here, and we saw the scene in front of us. "Will the wolf be overwhelmed.
"Yun Rong, Yang Shuang!" Wu Song suddenly let out an exclamation, turned his head and ran towards their campsite.
It was obvious that this village had been attacked by an evil force, and if this evil force had not left here, then Yun Rong and Yang Shuang would be in great danger if they stayed alone in the campsite.
Wu Song soon came to the campsite, and Yun Rong and Yang Shuang were still staying by the fire as when he left.
Wu Song breathed a sigh of relief, Yang Shuang looked up at him with a nervous face, and asked, "What's wrong?"
Wu Song looked around and asked Yang Shuang, "Nothing unusual happened just now, right?"
"What is unusual?" Yang Shuang asked with some puzzlement, "Nothing happened." ”
"That's good. Wu Song said briefly, "There are some problems in the village over there, the wolf, you and Yang Shuangyun let them stay here, I'll go over there and take a look." ”
Wu Song returned to the vicinity of the village, and the wind had finished vomiting and was looking at the village with a desolate look.
Wu Song walked to Gangfeng's side and asked with concern, "Are you okay?"
Gangfeng glanced at Wu Song, "I'm fine, what's going on here?"
"Let's go in and have a look. Wu Song was the first to step into the village.
Because there were so many dead, blood flowed out of the dead and soaked into the ground of the village, making the ground very sticky and muddy.
The two of them walked on it, with the illusion that they were stepping on the skin of a dead man. This sensation gave them a creepy feeling.
Wu Song's secret luck Yuan Li can be regarded as barely suppressing this feeling.
He walked over to a corpse, crouched down, and looked closely.
It was the body of an adult man, his head had been split in half diagonally, and there were scars on his neck and chest.
However, the scars on the head and neck are not the same.
The scars on his head were obviously caused by sharp weapons, and Wu Song estimated that it was a sharp steel knife.
The scars on the head and neck, on the other hand, appear a little rough, and the skin on the edges of the wounds is a jagged shape, which should have been torn by brute force.
Wu Song remembered the beast's claws, and those wounds looked like they were caused by the claws.
Wu Song inspected several more corpses, all of which were the same as the first corpse he checked, with the wounds caused by sharp weapons and the wounds caused by sharp claws coexisting.
Moreover, after looking at several corpses, Wu Song also discovered a situation.
That is, those wounds, whether they were caused by sharp objects or sharp claws, were biased towards the upper part of the corpse.
It appears that the assailant is attacking these people from the top with a sharp weapon or claw.
At first, Wu Song thought that the perpetrator was very tall. This is also in line with people's general impression that large beasts or monsters that attack people are generally tall.
However, Wu Song carefully observed the ground and found no footprints that were unusual to ordinary people.
If a large beast or monster attacks these villagers, they will definitely leave footprints on the ground.
Since there are no footprints, then this guess is wrong.
Wu Song turned a street and suddenly saw several deep scratches on the wall of a house.
Judging by the shape of these scratches, it is clear that they were caused by some kind of claw.
Under the wall, Wu Song also saw a few feathers.
Each feather is the length of his forearm, and the feathers are black.
Not far from the scratches, a corpse lay down. It was a strong man, and although the body was already a little swollen, the muscles on his body could still be seen.
In his right hand he was holding a hammer, which it should have been used by a blacksmith to strike iron.
On top of the hammer, there was a stain of blood, and a few feathers stuck to it.
Wu Song speculated that the strong man must have been a blacksmith, and when the gang of assailants attacked the village, he took a hammer and hit one of the assailants.
The assailant was supposed to be a flying beast that had lost its balance after being hit by a hammer, which is why it left those marks on the wall.
The blood stains left on the hammer should be the blood of the perpetrator.
The blood was not red like human blood, but dark green, and it smelled fishy.
Wu Song took off the feathers from the hammer and rubbed the feathers with the fingertips of his thumb.
The feathers are stiff and even a little prickly.
From the feathers alone, Wu Song couldn't tell what kind of flying beast the perpetrator was.
"Brother Wu, come here to take a look. Just as Wu Song was pondering, there was a sound of strong wind over there.
Gangfeng squatted dozens of meters away from Wu Song, Wu Song walked over, Gangfeng pointed to the corpse in front of him, "This corpse is different from the corpse in front." ”
Wu Song looked at the corpse carefully, he was dressed the same as the other corpses, but his seal hall was far fuller than the other bodies.
Wu Song looked at his hand again, there was a thick callus on the palm of his hand, that kind of callus Wu Song was very familiar with, it was sharpened by people who had used steel knives for many years.
"This is a monk. Wu Song looked at Gangfeng.
Gangfeng nodded, "Yes, there are four more such corpses over there." But although I know that they are monks, I just don't know what kind of sect they are. ”
Wu Song looked at the corpse carefully, and suddenly found that the corpse's eyes seemed to be looking somewhere.
Wu Song approached the corpse, followed his line of sight, and saw a small cloth bag a meter away from the corpse.
Wu Song walked over and picked up the small cloth bag.
The small cloth bag, which is the size of a palm, is sewn from black cloth and embroidered with a blue bat on it, symbolizing good fortune.
In addition to the bat, on the back of the small cloth bag, there is also an embroidered rabbit pattern.
Seeing this rabbit, Wu Song was shocked, "Jade Rabbit Sect!" Wu Song blurted out.
Wu Song had been to the headquarters of the Jade Rabbit Sect in the Far North before, where almost everyone's clothes were embroidered with such a rabbit pattern, so Wu Song had a deep memory.
"What's wrong?" Gang Feng heard Wu Song's exclamation and also walked over.
"Jade Rabbit Sect!" Wu Song excitedly pointed to the small cloth bag, "This is something that the Jade Rabbit Sect teaches." ”
He hurriedly opened the small cloth bag and saw a handful of soil inside. Apart from the soil, Wu Song never found anything else.
Wu Song couldn't help but be a little disappointed, he thought that there was something important in this small cloth bag, but he didn't expect it to be a handful of soil.
"How can it be a handful of soil?" said Gangfeng.
Wu Song pondered for a moment and said slowly, "This handful of soil particles is relatively large, and it should be frozen soil formed in cold weather. When this frozen soil is brought to a warm place, when it thaws, the soil dries out, and it will be shaped like this.
So, if I'm not mistaken, then this handful of soil must have come from the far north.
People in some parts of Dongzhou are worried that they will not adapt to the soil and water when they go to a foreign land, so they will carry the soil of their hometown with them, and after arriving in a strange place, they will use some soil orally with water.
In this way, they believe, they can overcome the symptoms of soil and water adaptation.
This little cloth bag should be the one who died, and he should be the one from the Jade Rabbit Sect headquarters. ”
"The people from the Jade Rabbit Sect headquarters appeared here, and they were killed bizarrely, what is going on behind this?" Gang Feng frowned deeply.
"Didn't you say that there are four other corpses? I think they should all be from the Jade Rabbit Sect, let's go see those corpses. Wu Song said to Gangfeng.
Those corpses were not far away, and Gangfeng took Wu Song to find them.
Wu Song checked them one by one, and when he saw the fourth body, Wu Song suddenly sighed.
The corpse was covered with shocking wounds on its chest and back, and it was supposed to have encountered two enemies at the same time, one in front of the other, and was cut down by the other party.
The corpse's body was covered with bloodstains, but Wu Song looked at the corpse's face, and the color was not too gray.
Wu Song's heart suddenly floated with a glimmer of hope, he reached out to touch the pulse of the corpse, and then closed his eyes to perceive.
