Chapter 10: Demons? Monster?

Zhang Fengcheng heard an angry roar coming from the cave, the voice was clearly shouted from the mouth of a person, but mixed with the purring throat of an animal, he held the steel knife tightly in his hand and yelled at the sergeants. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Come on, quickly notify the outside of the cave to prepare, the monster is coming out, don't worry about killing!"

As soon as the herald rushed outward, he saw the light of the fire tremble, and a human figure burst out of the hole, and the rats scattered in all directions, gnawing at the ropes, and some of them simply biting off their hind legs in order to escape. The speed can be described as lightning and flint, and the sergeant guarding the entrance of the branch cave was just about to swing his sword and slash it, when he heard a panic behind him, it was the direction of the short crossbow array, and when he turned around, the whole person's scalp stood up.

Zhang Fengcheng thought that he had adapted to the situation in the cave, but suddenly found that he couldn't keep up with the speed of the monster at all, and saw that the short crossbow array was instantly disrupted, and a human figure rushed among the sergeants, opening his mouth to his neck and beckoning to the past. Moreover, the fingertips of the monster's hands were visibly sharp, and once they slid through the skin, they went deep into the flesh.

"All retreat behind me, the sword array crosses the chest, the short crossbow shoots the arrow, and the !! quickly"

Fortunately, the garrison of Hainan Island has always been at the forefront of coastal defense, going out to sea to inspect all the year round, and the land troops have always received the task of suppressing bandits.

The sergeants who were torn off their blood vessels and torn flesh were still struggling on the ground one by one, the monster turned to look at Zhang Fengcheng and stared at him, he also saw that the short crossbow had been wound and did not dare to enter, but when he saw that his branch hole could not enter it at all, the cunning Zhang Fengcheng took advantage of the chaos and ordered the guards around him to throw some torches into the hole violently.

This brief confrontation may be the scene that Zhang Fengcheng most unwilling to recall in his life, in the firelight hole, the monster was really seen clearly, this is simply a monster covered in scale armor, from head to toe has no clothes to protect the body, the hair can be almost erect, and the facial features are also covered with patches of white scales, but the size is obviously different from the body. In the blink of an eye, even the eyelids are densely distributed.

What's even more disgusting is that the light flashed, and I clearly saw that there were small insects crawling in the scale armor, much smaller than the scale armor, as big as the little thumb nail, they crawled quickly between the scale armor and the skin and flesh underneath, and when the person bowed down and prepared to charge, the scale armor of the whole body suddenly stood upright and angry, and there was clearly a **** below, and those small insects quickly got into the ****.

What kind of creature is this, the whole body **** is protected by scale armor, just like the nest of those small insects, but now where is there any hesitation to study, let's kill it first!

When the monster arched its hind legs and kicked the ground, opening its mouth full of scales and armor to pounce, everyone held their breath and waited for the order. This time it's a head-to-head confrontation, what kind of monster are you, and you don't want to escape the ten thousand swords.

"The rear team releases arrows, and the front team is on alert!"

Listening to the sound of whizzing arrows passing through Zhang Fengcheng's ears, the monster's speed was really powerful, and he could jump up and dodge to the side one by one, but these sergeants were well-trained and angry, and they had already expanded the range of shooting to all corners, and after that rain of arrows, the monster was hit by arrows in many places all over his body, and he was even more impacted and fell backwards from the air.

"Quickly wind up and release the arrow!"

Zhang Fengcheng doesn't have the general routines described in those novels and TV series, and he doesn't give the opponent any time to breathe, he is killed from the military formation, and he knows that since he decides to kill, he must completely eliminate the other party, and would rather kill the chicken with a slaughtering knife, this is his motto.

Although the monster is definitely a monster-like existence, it can still stand up with arrows all over its body, and its two claws simply go up and down its hands like thorns, but this is a physical body after all, where can it withstand the second wave that comes quickly.

Now it's okay, Zhang Fengcheng specially ordered all his guards to greet their heads, and after a round, the monster finally fell to the ground, and even his eyes only showed a few arrow tails, which was completely shot through.

Zhang Fengcheng and the sergeants breathed a long sigh of relief, but the brothers in front of them couldn't stand up anymore.

"Continue to wind, stand by, don't let go, the other party is a monster, I don't know if there will be any moths! Notify the outside of the cave and add a team of short crossbows to come in! ”

It is said that facing danger is the most terrifying, but in fact, in a claustrophobic space, waiting for possible danger is the most tormenting. Just like now, the whole cave is silent, all eyes are fixed on the monster who fell to the ground, no one dares to step forward to mend the knife, even an old killer like Zhang Fengcheng gritted his teeth and did not move.

For a long time, the time in the cave seemed to stop, the sergeants were even careful to swallow and spit one by one, Zhang Fengcheng stomped his feet, and walked towards the monster with the guards, the distance of more than ten steps is really long, every step is solid and ready to exert force, every step is clenched with a steel knife, although the hole is unusually cool, but Zhang Fengcheng has already sweated profusely, and walked to the distance before the approach, he whispered to the guards.

"Shoot a few more arrows at the monster and judge whether you are dead or alive."

The guards were ordered, and this time it was really certain that in addition to the impact of the arrow crossbow, the youkai was already a corpse and never moved again.

"Bring the torches!"

As soon as the firelight was nearby, Zhang Fengcheng picked up a steel knife and cut off the head of the corpse, and the black blood flowed out, and suddenly the sharp-eyed sergeant noticed something strange, and when he looked at it, it turned out to be some white round eggs, like the size of gravel, although not much, but enough to distinguish.

"Burn these eggs with a torch, damn, you can still lay eggs in your blood, what the hell is this?!"

With that, he ordered the sergeant to cut the scales with a steel knife to see what was under the scales, and after listening to the sound of stabbing and pulling, everyone gasped in surprise. Where are the scales, there are beetles at all, but the shell of this beetle is thick and whitish, the edges are sharp, and the dense limbs grow at the front end of the carapace and penetrate into the flesh and skin, and there is a trace of pimples like warts growing together with the limbs.

The beetle's head was hidden in the flesh, its mouthparts were full of spiral spikes, and there was a long protruding tail in the middle of the carapace, which was obviously genitals, and now it was bent and shrunk, and there was a small wormhole under it.

What kind of humanoid monster is this, it is simply these beetles that parasitize on humans for some reason, and then use this host as a place for puppets, food, laying eggs, and hatching.

A curious sergeant went to grab it, but before Zhang Fengcheng could stop it, he heard a scream, and the beetle seemed to be waiting for a new host, and suddenly opened the carapace to both sides, and the sergeant's fingers flowed blood like a knife. With this release, the beetle actually shed its carapace, and the limbs that grew at the front end and were even disproportionate to the carapace quickly climbed to the sergeant's neck with its head.

I saw that the sergeant hurriedly wanted to pounce, but the front end of the beetle's torso had already buckled its neck, and the long reproductive tail suddenly stretched out and pierced into the flesh, and the dense limbs grabbed into the flesh, and the head had already penetrated deeply.

The taste was as real as countless tiny steel nails moving around the neck, and in an instant, the sergeant's hand on the beetle did not move, and the whole person knelt on the ground with a dull gaze, and reached out to caress the corpse full of scales.

The other sergeants were about to help him peel off the beetle from his neck, when Zhang Fengcheng reached out to stop him.

"It's hopeless, that beetle must have already burrowed into it to lay eggs, and, you see that there is already a wormhole in his neck, brother, don't blame General Ben for being ruthless, in that case, let me take a good look at what kind of existence this thing is, and it will definitely make you die happily for a while, and don't be this walking corpse-like puppet!"

According to Zhang Fengcheng's deployment, the sergeants re-wound and surrounded the guard, and saw that the beetles on the corpse seemed to have found a new home one by one, and quickly broke away from the carapace and crawled towards the stroking hands, and although the sergeant was dull-eyed, the corners of his mouth showed a slight smile, and finally he simply closed his eyes and enjoyed his face, as if there was an indescribable comfort.

Soon, the beetles were regularly spread all over the sergeant's body, as agreed, repeating the movements of the first beetle, and after a while, a dense number of small wormholes could be seen on the bare flesh, and the larvae in the small wormholes on the original corpses took up their new nests. But the sergeant had a convulsive expression of pleasure, and his expression was very strange, and Zhang Fengcheng was afraid that he would become a second demon, so he simply took a knife and cut off his head.

And the previous corpse has regained its human appearance, but it is full of wormholes, pink skin, and looking at the facial features and muscles, it is clear that he was once a strong man.

"Damn, there's such a weird species in the world, just release the arrows! Go get the oil! These dead brothers are also staying here, they have all been bitten, and I can't keep something in again, I'm sorry... ”

"Remember, sprinkle the whole nook and cranny of the cave with fire oil, and burn these beetles to death, so that they can no longer be the cause of evil."

With an order, those corpses were poured with fire oil and burned, the entire Longmen Cave was full of fire, and the stench was disgusting, maybe God is fair, there will be defects when they evolve, such a weird beetle is willing to be burned to death and refuses to hide, it is estimated that they will only move their nests when they re-contact the life form.

Zhang Fengcheng endured the smell of barbecue in the cave until he saw that the corpses were charred and the beetles were burned to ashes, and then he ordered the sergeants to sprinkle the cave with fire oil, and the remains of the corpses were not spared, and they were to be burned a second time.

In the end, he led the sergeants in the cave to kneel down and kowtow to the dead robe, and then exited the cave in the midst of a raging fire, and the cave would be left without living creatures for a long time, and what this beetle was and where it came from could only remain a mystery.

Out of the cave, Zhang Fengcheng sat heavily on the ground, and the villagers hurriedly fetched water and food to comfort the soldiers, while the guide hurriedly ran to the isolated thatched hut, shouting to the village chief from a distance, and listened to the cheers of celebration from the hut.

It is said that God has the virtue of a good life, and the village chief did not get the plague, and in the end they all returned home safe and sound, and Zhang Fengcheng also fulfilled his promise, leaving the excess food to the village, and also sent the soldiers to choose a place where the soil is still thick to clean up the stones and build a piece of field.

Nowadays in the village, you can still see that those fields are of different sizes, with soil in the middle and stones on all sides, and the stone roads in the fields are clear and neat, and the villagers call them "general's fields".

Of course, because of such a dangerous demon thing that happened in that Longmen Cave, Zhang Fengcheng simply ordered the army to bring big stones to seal the entrance of the cave from the inside out, and transplanted trees in front of the cave. After a few years, the place was covered with moss and the trees were growing vigorously, and from the outside, it seemed like it was just a part of the mountain.

It's just that he never returned to Longmen Village, and finally died in the war against bandits, at the age of forty.
