Chapter 61 Investigation
After the two young men carried the girl away, a young couple who were lying on the ground suddenly burst into tears.
The people around didn't dare to raise their heads, no matter how miserable the two cried, the surrounding villagers were unmoved, as if they were used to seeing this scene.
Jingchen sighed softly and turned to leave the village. The time for him to come out has exceeded half an hour agreed with Hei Yu, but the little girl was sent away, and the end was absolutely very miserable.
Just as Jingchen hesitated, a rush of footsteps sounded behind him.
"Big brother, I've been looking for you for a long time, what are you doing here?" The person who came was Hei Yu, who saw Jingchen standing there in a daze, and hurriedly asked.
Jingchen said with a sigh of relief: "Xiao Yu, you came just in time. Let's keep up with those two!"
"Big brother, which two? I'm a little confused. Black Feather scratched his head in embarrassment, he had just arrived here and didn't know what was going on.
"Oh, don't ask, I'll explain to you later, follow me first!" Jingchen finished speaking, he used the Thunder Ball Technique, bypassed the village, and rushed in the direction where the two disappeared.
Hei Yu didn't say anything more, and hurriedly followed Jingchen.
In Hei Yu's opinion, Jing Chen rarely had such a hurry, he had always been very steady, and he would have thought it out carefully before making a decision.
Could something big happen this time?
Hei Yu, who didn't know it, was also a little apprehensive in his heart at this time.
Jingchen's speed was very fast, and the two young men carrying the girl were not walking fast, so Jingchen quickly caught up with them.
"Hey, third child, do you think that thing can really eat people, why is the village chief so mysterious. ”
"Don't talk too much, you don't know what happened in the village over the years, be quiet, don't let others hear!"
The sound of the two muttering there did not escape Jing Chen's ears, and after hearing the conversation between the two of them, Jing Chen was somewhat sure of his previous conjecture.
This little girl is indeed a sacrificial offering!
After walking for another hour, the two finally stopped!
"Okay, third child, let's put it here!" said the man who had just begun to speak again.
"Let's go, if that thing suddenly goes crazy and escapes, we're all going to suffer!" the man, known as the third man, quickly placed the iron cage on the ground, and the two of them rushed in the direction of the village.
Just as the two of them put down the iron cage, Hei Yu asked, "Big brother, do you want to arrest them back and ask?"
Jingchen shook his head and said, "No need, let them go, so as not to startle the snake." Judging by their previous conversations, they didn't know much. ”
Although Jingchen's strength is not high, he has a good brain, so much so that in the eyes of Black Feather, Jingchen is a precocious monster.
"Let's save the little girl first, it's a bit cruel to let such a young child become the ration for something else..."Jing Chen shook the Seven Star Thunder Sword in his hand and jumped out.
The little girl cried all the way, and now she was a little tired, and she curled up on the edge of the iron cage with her hands and legs.
After seeing Jingchen who suddenly appeared, the little girl first had a glimmer of hope, and there was also a glimmer of light in her eyes.
The light of hope only existed for a moment before vanishing. The little girl shouted at Jingchen in a somewhat hoarse voice, "Big brother, you guys go quickly, don't come here." There's a monster here!"
After the little girl finished speaking, she waved her hand at Jingchen in a hurry, signaling Jingchen to leave here quickly.
"Little sister, don't be afraid, we are here to save you. Get out of the way!" The sword in Jingchen's hand was already ready to go, and after a burst of silver flashes, the sound of gold and iron colliding sounded, and the iron cage was like a fragile wooden stick under Jingchen's sword.
"Bang!"
After the loud bang, a gap was cut in the iron cage.
The little girl came out of the gap, threw herself beside Jingchen, and began to cry.
"Little sister, don't cry yet. It's not safe here, let's get out first!" Jingchen said softly.
The little girl was obedient, quickly wiped away her tears, and left the iron cage behind Jingchen's buttocks.
"Big brother, the people in the village didn't come out with me, there is no one here anymore!" The black feather in the dark had been on guard before, and after seeing Jingchen bring people back, he quickly said.
"It's not safe here, let's go first!" Jingchen picked up the little girl and put it on Hei Yu's back, and said.
Those village names sacrificed the little girl to an unknown thing, Jingchen still doesn't know what kind of strength that thing is, and it is very dangerous to stay here.
Black Feather carried the girl on his back, followed behind Jingchen, and left the back mountain.
After arriving at a safe place, Hei Yu put down the little girl on his back and asked softly, "Little sister, do you know what the villagers are sacrificing?"
The little girl scratched her head lightly and said, "Well, there is a god in the village, and if you don't sacrifice virgins, the god will be angry, and the villagers will..."
After listening to the little girl's words, Black Feather angrily patted the big tree beside him with his hand, leaving a deep handprint on the big tree.
"It's ridiculous!"
"I didn't expect anyone to have this kind of thought now..."Jingchen was a little surprised, and felt more sad.
"Little sister, aren't there any stronger villagers in your village?"
"What is strong?" asked the little girl, with a slight suspicion in her slightly choked voice.
After hearing the little girl's words, Jingchen and Hei Yu were a little speechless for a while, isn't there a Qi cultivator in that village?
"Forget Xiao Yu, let's investigate it ourselves, this child is still young, and she doesn't know these things. Jingchen shook his head and said.
There are no living creatures left in the vicinity except this village. The closest city from here, according to the foot strength of Jingchen and Black Feather, it will take a day to get there.
Jingchen decided to go to the village first to inquire about the situation, and as for this little girl, let her stay with Hei Yu for the time being.
If she is brought back to the village, it will inevitably cause a commotion, and if she becomes hostile to Jingchen at that time, things will be much more difficult.
After letting Hei Yu settle the little girl, Jing Chen went to the village alone, this place is not too far from the village, if there is any abnormality, Hei Yu can also feel it, and he can support Jing Chen as soon as possible.
It's normal for the village to be untended and untended in the village, but the weeds don't seem to grow in unison.
After careful observation, Jingchen found that the stones attached to the weeds seemed to have been crushed by iron tools, and judging from the growth cycle of this kind of weeds, it should have grown in the last two months.
The first time he passed here, Jingchen was busy on the road and didn't find these things, but now when he passed by again, he found this extremely inconspicuous clue.
This place has been visited by carriage in two months, and the people who have come must have discovered a village not far away.
Jingchen didn't rush to the village, but followed the car print for a distance, but unfortunately, the car print existed for too long, and when he was halfway there, the car print suddenly disappeared.
After going around the circle, Jingchen didn't find any other suspicious traces.
Seeing that there was no trace, Jingchen had no choice but to give up and walk towards the village again.
In addition to a back mountain around this village, Jingchen also found a lot of land where food was grown.
After the ritual was over, the villagers' lives seemed to return to their former peace, as if nothing had happened.
Jingchen, who was carrying a long sword, stopped at the entrance of the village, and at this moment, a villager discovered the outsider.
The villager looked to be about forty years old, and the simplicity of his face was like a different person compared to the numbness of the previous sacrifice.
"This little friend, don't you know what you are doing here?" the middle-aged man looked at Jingchen with a smile and asked with some enthusiasm.
This enthusiasm is not like a fake, but very sincere.
Jingchen hugged his fists and said, "This uncle, I happened to pass by here and found that there was only one village around you, so I wanted to spend the night here." I don't know..."
Before he finished speaking, the middle-aged man said: "No problem, you don't know, we are here, it is very remote, if you don't dislike it, follow me into the village!"
After the man finished speaking, he turned and walked towards the village. Jingchen only felt that all this was very weird. The enthusiasm of this middle-aged villager made Jingchen a little puzzled, his brows furrowed tightly, and Jingchen followed the middle-aged man to the village...
