Chapter 55: A Strange Scene
Li Shan looked at the corpses of more than a dozen fierce beasts in front of him, without exception, these fierce beasts were all robbed of their body's essence and blood.
Many of the surrounding villagers were already in a panic, but they didn't expect that after so much time, the blood-sucking beast had been wandering around here. It's only been about half a month since the last incident, and if the nearby beasts are all sucked, will the blood-sucking beast attack the village?
"Don't panic, everyone!" Seeing the frightened expressions of many villagers, Li Shan had no choice but to appease everyone.
"Brother Li Shan, what should we do?" The person who spoke was called Li Ju, and his strength was second only to Li Shan.
"That vampire beast just ate last night, and it shouldn't be chaotic again in a short time, so there's no need to scare yourself. From now on, four households will take turns guarding the village. "Although the vampire beast will not pose a danger to the lives of the villagers for a short time, for the sake of safety, someone needs to guard the village at night.
"The corpses of these fierce beasts, dig a big pit and bury them!" The corpses of the dozens of fierce beasts before were enough for the whole village to eat for two or three months, and they didn't need to worry about food during this time. If the carcasses of these beasts are allowed to rot, the stench is likely to attract some scavenging beasts.
Seeing that everyone's mood had stabilized, and many people were already digging pits to bury the corpses of these fierce beasts, Li Shan looked at the distant sky.
At this time, the temperature is obviously a little cool, I am afraid that the rainy season will usher in more than half a month, and now the stone wall is only half completed, far from reaching the point where the entire village can be protected.
Sure enough, after about twenty days, the sky was covered with dim black clouds, and there was no longer a trace of sunlight.
"Boom~" A strong light lit up in the distance in the sky, followed by a huge thunderclap.
Bean-sized raindrops began to drip from the sky, kicking up a cloud of dust. Immediately afterwards, these bean-sized raindrops began to connect into a rain curtain, covering the heavens and the earth.
The rain was heavy, but the vegetation was dense in the area, so I didn't worry about flash floods. All the villagers stayed in their homes and did not go out, except for the green smoke of roasting bacon.
The girl pulled out a small bench and sat at the door, looking at the rain curtain in a daze, while Long Yin was sleeping comfortably in her arms. The big black dog that disappeared all day could only stay at home obediently.
Li Shan looked at the overwhelming rain, his expression was a little heavy, the construction of the defense was only about half completed, and he had to seize the time to continue his efforts.
In the past month, he has devoted himself to building the stone wall every day, and now he has time to spend time with his family and children.
He leaned against the door and watched for a moment, then went to the kitchen to prepare his meal. There's no way, the food cooked by the woman is too unpalatable, let alone him, even rhubarb doesn't have a cold. It's been a really hard time for my daughter this month.
Due to the advent of the rainy season, it is impossible for the young Jiang You to go to the mountains to pick yams, but Long Yin doesn't mind, anyway, those yams are dispensable for him.
After nearly two months, his injuries are more than half healed. The only thing that gave Long Yin a headache was the erosion and necrosis of his muscles by the death qi of those black horrors. Although he began to regain his vitality with the help of the young man's medicinal materials, it was only reactive, and there was still a long way to go.
Especially the amputated left forelimb, the invasion of death is even more serious, and there are even many black spots on the white bones, which is not a good thing at first glance. You'll have to figure out how to get rid of these black spots.
The rainy season lasted for more than a month, and on one morning, the black clouds that hung over the sky finally dissipated, and a ray of sunlight shone through the ground, dissipating the gloom in people's hearts.
After more than a month of rain, the mountains are even more verdant and green. Many pools were already filled with rainwater, and Long Yin jumped in to swim back and forth two or three times when he was fine.
There was no need to supervise at all, and the villagers spontaneously continued to build the heavy stone wall.
Walking out of the pool, Long Yin dried his hair and stood in the sun, he felt like he was going to get moldy if he didn't do anything for more than a month.
As soon as the rainy season is over, the short autumn season is followed by a cool feeling in the air.
In order to be able to finish the construction of these stone walls before the arrival of winter, the villagers can be said to have started work day and night, under the arrangement of Li Shan, the villagers were divided into two groups, one group to work during the day, and the other group to work at night. Open the bow left and right to speed up the progress. In this way, there is no need for extra manpower to keep vigils.
These days, Li Shan's expression is much more tired, and his body looks a lot haggard. The freckled girl was worried that her father was tired, so she went to serve tea and water to everyone every day, although Li Shan didn't say anything, but the smile on her face couldn't be resolved.
Under the construction of day and night, a long stone wall finally rose from the ground before the cold winter arrived. The stone wall is so long that it encloses the entire village. Not only that, but the stone wall was about three feet deep, and only such a thick wall could withstand the impact of fierce beasts.
The moment the stone wall was completed, almost all the villagers couldn't help but cheer. With such a heavy stone wall to stop the beasts, they were confident that even without Lord Xuanling, they would still be able to survive this winter.
There are still a few days to go, and it will be a very cold day, and the weather will be extremely cold at this time. Almost everyone is wrapped in the fur of fierce beasts to protect against the invasion of the cold, and the fires of each house are very hot, which contains the most simple wishes of the villagers, implying that the new year will be prosperous.
The heavy snow arrived earlier than the villagers had estimated, and that night, heavy snow fell from the night sky. Compared to previous years, this year's heavy snowfall is at least a few days earlier.
This is not good news, the earlier the snow falls, the deeper the food is buried in the snow. Deprived of food, the beasts will begin to attack human villages in a desperate manner.
This is a truth that the villagers understand. They took out big knives or giant axes from their respective homes, and under the leadership of Li Shan, they stood on the wall early, paying close attention to the movements in the mountains.
At this time, the mountain was already white, covered with deep snow, and the sky was still covered with a thin layer of snow.
Under the nervous mood of the villagers, the first day passed without incident. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, it was everyone's wish not to collide head-on with the beast.
After all, once there is a collision, it means that there will be bloodshed and there will be sacrifice. Most of them have children and daughters, and there are older generations to support, and none of them want to die.
The snow fell day and night, and it was almost a night in which it deepened by one meter. Long Yin happily splashed and rolled on the snow, leaving plum blossom-shaped footprints.
When the freckled girl saw such a cheerful dragon, she couldn't help but play with it, and began to pile up snowmen on the side. Father, mother, Jiang You's brother, rhubarb, Xiaoqing, and of course, himself. The girls piled up one by one, and their little faces were already red from the cold.
The girl's mother looked at the freckled girl with a smile on the side, and from time to time reminded the girl that the fabricated mold was out of shape, so that she could correct it back.
This brief quiet day was finally broken on the morning of the third day.
"Oh no, the beast has attacked!" Early in the morning, the villagers who were waiting on the top of the wall, paying close attention to the movement of the mountain, pulled their throats, breaking the silence of the morning.
Hearing the shouts, the villagers grabbed the weapons they had placed in their homes and told their wives and children to stay at home and not go out.
All the adult men had rushed to the top of the built city, holding their weapons in their hands and staring at the mountain with their eyes firmly in their hands.
"Xiaoqing, where are you going, the outside world is very dangerous!" Seeing Long Yin sneaking out of the door while she was not paying attention, the freckled girl hurriedly shouted.
Long Yin ignored the girl, and slipped up on the stone wall, to be honest, he hadn't seen how the fierce beast attacked the human village, and he was still quite curious in his heart.
Above the stone wall, there are more than 20 sturdy men, led by Li Shan, lined up on the stone wall, paying close attention to the movement in the mountain.
For Long Yin, the people in the village have long been surprised. Everyone knows that the freckled girl often holds this blue fox with a broken leg.
"You brute, when are you still running around here, if you die in the mouth of the beast later, Xiao Tiantian can't cry red with her nose!" Some villagers saw the sneaky dragon yin, laughed and scolded and stretched out their legs to disperse the dragon yin.
Long Yin's body flexibly dodged the villager's kick, rolled his eyes, and secretly scolded your whole family for being brutes.
He went straight to the young man Jiang You's side, although the young man couldn't sense the innate qi to communicate with heaven and earth, so he couldn't break through to the one qi realm to become a qi practitioner, but with his strength, it was still not a problem to deal with an ordinary fierce beast. At this time, of course, you have to contribute to the village.
Moreover, except for a few people in the village such as Li Shan, who have achieved success in cultivating in the One Qi Realm, although the rest of the villagers have also stepped into the One Qi Realm, the essence in their bodies is pitiful, and they can almost be roughly ignored.
Most of the villagers fought against the fierce beasts, and they still relied on their strong physique.
Only Jiang You knew the identity of Long Yin's fierce beast in the audience, and when he saw Long Yin come to the city as agreed, his heart was a lot more relieved.
Only he knew that the blood-sucking beast that was in the uproar in the village and panicked was Long Yin. With Long Yin's strength, of course, it is no problem to deal with these fierce beasts.
At this time, Long Yin set his eyes on the stone wall, and there were about four or five fierce beasts rushing towards the village, which was very eye-catching on the white snow.
Long Yin looked at those fierce beasts, they were some of the most ordinary fierce beasts. He looked at Jiang You, as if asking, just how many of them? He thought it was the kind of scene where thousands of beasts were galloping, and at the worst of all, dozens of fierce beasts should be rushing here.
Not only Long Yin, but everyone was very confused, they thought that these fierce beasts were just taking the lead, so they still paid attention to the movement in the mountains. But after so long, there are still only a few fierce beasts, and they can't help but look at each other.
If there were only a few fierce beasts attacking the village, would they be guilty of spending so much energy to build such an impregnable stone wall?
"What the hell is going on?" Li Shan placed the broadsword in his hand diagonally on the stone wall, in the past, there were twenty or thirty fierce beasts attacking the village. And this year, the snow is falling earlier than usual, so there should be more beasts attacking the village.
But this scene in front of me is weird and abnormal!
