Chapter 54: Round-up with Iron Fences
"...... again?" Xiang Qingyun swallowed his saliva and said nervously: "Uncle, you go on."
The old village chief continued:
"This time it wasn't one, but the previous one brought back another. And this one only eats men. The village official personally sent people to encircle and suppress again, but he didn't expect the monster to be too fierce, and all the people who encircled and suppressed were bitten to death by the monster. ”
Hearing such a ridiculous thing, everyone's hearts couldn't help but ripple, this monster actually eats women and men? Could it be that the monster is divided into a male and a female?
"Where is this monster hiding now?" Xiang Qingyun comforted the old village chief.
The old village chief froze and continued in a heavy mourning voice:
"I didn't see the monster appear last night, this monster only appeared at night, the monster was asking us to send the people to the past, and now we don't follow, this monster broke into the door, and bit several people to death in one night. ”
Xiang Qingyun thought for a long time and looked at everyone, "Everyone go back first, and tonight I will arrange for the officials to set a trap at the entrance of the village to hunt and kill monsters." ”
As soon as the surrounding villagers heard Xiang Qingyun say this, they dispersed.
"Two girls, since there are werewolves here, it is not appropriate to stay for a long time, so I will send someone to escort the girl back. Xiang Qingyun looked at Li Jiu'er and said.
"Isn't it dangerous for the adults to stay here?" Li Jiu'er smiled and said softly.
"This is a matter within Qingyun's responsibility, but Miss Li is different, this werewolf is too fierce, I'm afraid it's not appropriate to stay here. Xiang Qingyun knew that this monster was extremely ferocious, so he persuaded him again and again.
"Okay, okay, Sister Jiu'er and I can stay and help you, if they can't deal with this monster by relying on these servants alone, what will you do?"
When Meng Yao saw Xiang Qingyun's mother-in-law, her mother couldn't help but say impatiently.
When Xiang Qingyun heard that Li Jiu'er and Mengyao insisted on staying, it was difficult to say any more. Looking up at the entrance of the village in the distance, he was silent for a moment and said as if he was thinking:
"In that case, let's set up traps and make some cover to hide people. ”
"Lord Xiang, should we prepare some iron nets?" Since this monster is like a werewolf, it must be running fast and jumping very fast. Since monsters are like beasts, you must have tools to catch them, and iron nets must be the best tools. Thinking of this, Li Jiu'er couldn't help but put forward her own opinions.
"What Miss Li said is very reasonable, we don't just have to prepare for a wire fence roundup. Also prepare some weapons for long-range attacks. Xiang Qingyun looked at the two officials behind him and took out the waist cards on their bodies and said, "You now take my token to mobilize all the government soldiers, and equip a strong crossbow team to rush here before dark." ”
"Lord Xiang didn't find out before, so you are quite smart, aren't you?" Meng Yao said when he heard Xiang Qingyun's arrangement. I couldn't help but look at Xiang Qingyun with some admiration in my heart.
Although Xiang Qingyun is a nerd, he still has some research on the art of war, this monster is fierce, and the officials are ordinary people who have not practiced Since they can't fight in close combat, they use bows and crossbows to attack from a distance, and they can take advantage of the strength of the crowd, and it is not impossible to capture it.
"Sister Yao, I'm making fun of Master Xiang again, you can see that Lord Xiang's face is red. Li Jiu'er leaned over and whispered in Mengyao's ear.
"Really, really? I'll take a look. Mengyao walked to Xiang Qingyun's side, staring at Xiang Qingyun's face like a child.
Xiang Qingyun, who had nothing to do, was stared at by Meng Yao like this, and suddenly felt uncomfortable, and he was afraid of the many officials behind him, coughed softly, and said in a pretentious gesture: "Ahem...... I'm Lord Overseer, be serious, little girl, and don't make any more jokes about me. ”
"Who is the little girl?" Meng Yao said unhappily.
When the officials saw it, they couldn't help but laugh.
......
......
In the dead of night, when the cold wind blew across the land, two figures appeared outside the entrance of the village in the distance.
But it's not a figure. It's just two monsters with wolf heads and human bodies.
The two monsters, as usual, rushed into the village, thinking that they would be able to taste these delicious "things" again.
"You go over there. ”
Suddenly, one of the monsters stopped and said to another, smaller monster.
"Woohoo...... Okay, okay," the other cocked his head and let out a wolf-like howl, and replied.
But at this time, they never expected that they had been surrounded by people, and this time it was not them who took people as prey, but people who took them as prey.
Without waiting for the two monsters to separate, Xiang Qingyun, who was hiding in the shadows, shouted: "Release the arrows." ”
More than 100 officials around the ...... drew their bows and released arrows, and for a while, arrows rained down on these two monsters.
"Woo...... Whew...... Whew". As soon as the two monsters saw that they had fallen into the trap, they couldn't help but let out bursts of roars and rushed towards Xiang Qingyun.
Seeing that all the crossbow arrows shot at the monsters were shot to the ground, and seeing the two monsters coming towards him, Xiang Qingyun picked up the bow and arrow of a servant next to him and personally pulled the string and shot it, only to hear the sound of "brush" and shoot an arrow into the legs of some smaller monsters.
With a "plop", the mother monster fell to the ground.
The larger monster should be a male, and when he saw the female monster being shot, he turned back to protect the female monster. Stopping in place like this just became a live target for everyone.
Dozens of crossbow arrows shot at the two monsters.
"Woohoo......" The two monsters were shot several times by crossbow arrows.
"Stop...... Xiang Qingyun waved his hand to stop, because he wanted to catch it alive.
Since monsters can speak, it means that there is no language barrier, and since there are one or two monsters, maybe more monsters will appear. Kill these two monsters and force them to tell them about their accomplices, or where they came from. Xiang Qingyun plans to do so.
"Master Xiang, why don't you shoot them?" asked Meng Yao, puzzled.
Xiang Qingyun stood up cautiously and solemnly, ignored Meng Yao, waved his hand and commanded the officials around him: "Iron Net Prepare ......." ”
When the officials heard this, they pulled the iron net from all sides and slowly leaned towards the werewolf.
"Woo woo woo woo ......" The two injured monsters saw the surrounding officials pulling the barbed wire fence and leaning towards them. With slightly weird red eyes, he opened his mouth and bared his teeth, yelling at the crowd.
Suddenly, the male monster rushed to the east like an arrow off the string.
"Bang" The few officials in the east didn't expect that this monster with several arrows in his body still had such a fast speed and so much strength, so he was directly knocked out a few meters away, and a flaw appeared in the barbed wire.
Seeing that the monster was about to rush out of this gap, everyone was shocked.
At this critical moment, Meng Yao drew the long sword in his hand and jumped into the air and went straight into the barbed wire, slashing at the monster in the iron net.
"Dream girl is dangerous....... ”
"Sister Haruka....... ”
Everyone was shocked, and the officials also drew their swords and gathered towards the monster.
Meng Yao stabbed the monster with a sword. The monster showed a bloody mouth and smiled: "Hehe, do you want me to eat you, little beauty." The monster clasped his hands together, palms like iron claws, and grabbed Mengyao's long sword with a hard sound.
Meng Yao was shocked, but unfortunately it was too late, at this time she was in the air, and she was caught with the long sword, but she couldn't use any strength.
The monster twisted its arms, trying to throw Yume Haruka to the ground. Meng Yao kicked the monster in the head with his shaking body.
Helplessly, the monster was strong, and Mengyao was a girl, so he kicked the monster's head hard, and the monster stumbled and immediately stabilized his body.
The monster continued to pinch Meng Yao's blade and shook Meng Yao, wanting to throw Meng Yao to the ground, Meng Yao borrowed the elastic feet to pull out the long sword, and Ling jumped up again and shouted, "Go die......
At the same time, a sword was slashed, but Meng Yao ignored one thing, a fatal thing. There wasn't just one monster in the cage.
Originally, Meng Yao slashed down with a sword, but was kicked a few meters away by the female monster who suddenly rushed behind him.
At the same time, outside the iron net, because of Mengyao's rush in, the officials can't collect the net, and they can't collect the net. For a while, he was caught in a dilemma.
Li Jiu'er saw that Meng Yao was trapped in the iron net, covered her mouth and was so frightened that her face was pale, and she said in a hurry: "Hurry up...... Save people...... Come on. ”
Xiang Qingyun said secretly when he saw that it was not good, and while comforting Li Jiu'er, he picked up the bow and crossbow and rushed out regardless of his own safety.
"Your Excellency....... ”
When the officials saw Xiang Qingyun, they rushed out desperately and followed one after another.
The male monster saw that Meng Yao was thrown to the ground, and he grinned and pounced.
Meng Yao was shocked, if this was bitten by a monster, then what would it do? Thinking of this, he rolled his body, and he didn't care about the dog shit or horse manure on the ground, so he rolled out of the iron net in a hurry.
Xiang Qingyun saw that Mengyao had escaped, and secretly shouted loudly with joy: "Quickly close the net......." ”
"Boom".
The surrounding officials pulled up the barbed wire again, and the iron wire became tighter and tighter, trapping the two monsters inside.
"Woohoo......" the two monsters let out a wolf's howl.
"If you dare to trap me here, you will be destroyed in less than ten days. The werewolf monster was trapped in the iron net and roared loudly for a while.
"You hairy monster, you do something hurtful to heaven and reason, and you are still ashamed to say it. Xiang Qingyun shouted.
At this time, the villagers of "Nanjiao Village" came over with hoes and sticks.
"Kill him ......"
"Kill the Monster ......"
"Avenging the Dead Child ......"
The crowd shouted angrily.
"Folks, the origin of this monster is unknown, kill him now, maybe there will be another one day. As soon as Xiang Qingyun said this, these angry men, women, and children immediately stopped the guys in their hands.
Everyone was afraid for a while, and they couldn't help but secretly think, yes! These two monsters were killed, could it be that two more escaped that day?
"Don't panic, everybody. Li Jiu'er couldn't help but feel a little unbearable when she saw Xiang Qingyun scaring everyone like this, smiled slightly, and said softly: "Lord Xiang means that this monster will leave him alive now, and let him confess to the other accomplices." It would be impossible to execute them then!"
"What the girl said is very reasonable, alas, the dead relatives of the villagers are too miserable, and everyone feels uncomfortable. The old village chief stood up and explained unwillingly.
"Hey...... Old thing, when my companions come over, I'm going to eat you all, hehehe......." ”
