Chapter 253: Trap

Previous Chapter

The wind came suddenly, and the ring of fire on the ground burned smaller and smaller, as if it was on the verge of extinguishing.

"Be careful, after the ring of fire is extinguished, those 'scorched rocks' will definitely crawl in, and we will run towards the village!"

I shouted.

The flames shook violently, and the stronger the wind, the dimmer the fire, as if it was about to dissipate over the land. I carried the Demon Hunter Crossbow on my back and heard the roar of the demons around me, longing for the moment when the flames would be extinguished.

"It's dying!"

Luo Qiong shouted nervously.

As soon as the words fell, the flames in front of us suddenly dimmed, and the wind finally took away the light, and I turned around and ran wildly in the direction of the village, followed by Luo Qiong and the fat man. Behind us, the "Jiaoyan" group rushed wildly, extremely fast! These salamander-looking monsters rushed through the fields in groups of three or five.

"Run, fatty, run!"

I shouted.

The fat man and Luo Qiong were running between the fields, and the distance between the village and us was five or six hundred meters, which was not too long, and it was nothing to Luo Qiong and me, even if they were carrying bags and demon hunting crossbows, they were not able to catch up with those "Jiao Yan". But the fat man can't do it, this guy hasn't passed physical education since he was a child, and when he was studying, he basically walked in physical education class and ran, and he was kicked by the physical education teacher on the buttocks, and he wasn't afraid of the thick meat anyway.

"I said Brother Cui, you should run faster, you are going to catch up with us. ”

Luo Qiong urged vigorously. The fat man panted and said, "Fuck, I'm ...... I'm running...... Damn, this demon hunting crossbow is too heavy. ”

I went back and estimated that at the speed of the fat man, it was only a matter of time before we were caught up. I had to find a way to delay the time, and with a flick of my hand, I put the Demon Hunter's crossbow on my arm.

"Hurry up, I'll delay these earth beasts. ”

I shouted with a cold face.

"Damn, turn back...... When you survive...... Lao Tzu invites you to drink. ”

The fat man ran forward with his waist on his back, and he only ran about 400 meters, and his stamina was basically exhausted. I threw the explosive quiver into the crossbow arrows, and breathed deeply, my eyes looking at the herd of earth beasts that attacked like a black tide in front of me. The sound of teeth chewing, the claws rubbing against the ground, and the stench of the earth beasts almost came to my nose.

A crossbow arrow was fired, and the explosive arrow fell in front of him, and the flames released after the explosion spread out in an instant, and the earth beast group that rushed up immediately slowed down, and several "Jiaoyan" who took the lead tried to bypass the flames and pursue from the other side. I kept backing as I fired a second arrow at the circling herd of earth beasts, the flames blocking their path once more.

The charging herd of earth beasts rushed wildly, bypassing the flames again, and I looked back to see that the fat man and Luo Qiong were already about to reach the village, and they were already standing at the entrance of the village.

I put away my demon hunting crossbow and ran wildly, leaving the earth beasts far behind, and rushed into the village, and the tar jar poured on the ground at the entrance of the village, and then quickly retreated.

The earth beasts rushed to the door, frantically past the tar herd, and poured into the village.

"What should I do?"

Luo Qiong asked behind me, I set up the demon hunting crossbow, stretched out my hand, the explosive arrows were ready to be fired in the quiver box, and the earth beasts all crossed the tar-paved road, I smiled coldly, and shot an explosive arrow, which landed in the earth beast group in front of me, and the explosive flames swept through the surrounding earth beasts, and the flames instantly ignited the tar on these little things, and the raging fire burned wildly. The earth beasts that rushed up touched the ignited "Jiaoyan" and continued to burn, I seemed to have lit a long carpet, which spread all the way to the entrance of the village, and the "Jiaoyan" who were on fire chose to flee in a panic, but the flames on their bodies could kill them in just ten seconds.

I put away my demon hunting crossbow, took a few steps back, and said, "In this way, there will be no future troubles." ”

"Brother Shan is amazing. ”

Luo Qiong said with a smile.

I waved my hand and looked at the surrounding villages, and it was strange that the earth beasts were ignited so loudly, and the loud sound of exploding arrows did not cause any reaction from anyone in the village. The dark house seemed to be empty, so I walked to the door of a nearby room, knocked lightly, and shouted, "Fellow, is there anyone? ”

shouted a few times, and the voice was louder and louder, but in the end, there was no response. I frowned, lifted my foot and kicked the door open. After rushing into the house, the house was really empty, the whole room was not large, it was clear at a glance, I walked to the bed, the quilt and the bed were cold. It looks like no one has been around for a long time......

After checking, the whole house was uninhabited for at least a week. The dust on the table is not too thick, but you can still reach out and touch it all over your fingers.

I walked out of the house, looked out, and shouted, "Fatty, the house is empty, how are you doing over there?"

"We also looked here, there was no one living in it, and the surrounding houses were empty. ”

There was no one in the whole village, and no matter how you look at it, it is not normal. At this time, the flames left by the scorching "scorched rock" surrounded the entire village gate, and there seemed to be an unknown black shadow shaking outside the flames, and I felt like I had fallen into a spider cave. He beckoned to the fat man and shouted, "Come here." ”

"What's wrong? Can this village stay?"

The fat man asked.

I shook my head and said, "As I expected, this village must have been tampered with, the villagers had been evacuated a few days earlier, and the whole village was set up to catch us. You think, after we were chased by the Tiger Skin Man, we settled in Song Baoyu's hut. At that time, I must have been targeted, first you were drugged, but there was no poisoning in the medicine, which made me a little suspicious. Maybe it was because I was watching you at the time, and I was afraid that your killing would alert me, so I just knocked you out. Whether it's a scarecrow or a siege by the 'Scorched Rock' earth beasts, all of these are just bait for the siege, in fact, they are trying to force us into this village. Now there are earth beasts lurking outside, and there is no help in the village. We are like gladiators who have been imprisoned in the Colosseum, and the only way to escape is to fight the monsters they put in. ”

The fat man and Luo Qiong pondered for a moment and then said, "Then what should I do? I see that the surroundings are safe now, or we will rush out first and walk in the direction of the main road." ”

"It's not safe at all. If you don't believe me, I'll try it for you. ”

As I spoke, I walked to the edge of the village, then took out a piece of dry food from my bag, dipped it in the blood of the earth beast, and threw it out, and the steamed bun fell on the open space outside the village, and after a while it was grabbed by a pair of large hands that stretched out of the darkness, and then swallowed it in a few bites. This scene made the fat man and Luo Qiong's faces not look good......

"See, the outside of the village is full of earth beasts, and it was only a wave that pursued us just now, in order to force us into the urn, and now it has done it. ”

"Then why didn't they send earth beasts to rush in and tear us apart, wouldn't that be more convenient?"

The fat man asked strangely.

"We now have a lot of tools to deal with demons and earth beasts, whether it is hunting demon crossbows, 'wild Zen' branches, or Tushan knives, these are all good things to deal with earth beasts and demons. But there are few magic weapons to deal with ghosts, only bells, and the number of crossbow arrows blessed by Lei Fa is also very rare, as well as my Tushan knife. So I don't think it's the earth beasts that they're really going to do to us, because it's not safe, and if we take advantage of the chaos and run away from the trap they've worked so hard to build, it's useless. So I will definitely choose the safest method, which should be to use ghosts to kill us!"

"What should we do? If we can't get out and can't get out, are we waiting here to die?"

The fat man looked anxious and asked.

"Find something to burn, then spill the tar out and make a ring of fire. In any case, the ghosts are afraid of fire, and then they can only act on the opportunity. ”

As soon as these words came out, the fat man and Luo Qiong immediately searched separately, and after a while, they came over with a few bundles of firewood, I poured tar on them, lit the fire and formed a circle, and we sat in the center of the fire ring. Looking at the sky, the fat man said that it was about twelve o'clock.

In other words, there are at least five hours before dawn, and in these five hours or so, you may encounter the other party's killing and robbery anytime and anywhere!"
