0022 Legends about the Ghost Tiger
"'Ghost Tiger'? It doesn't sound very strong. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info”
Unlike the humble sheds on the edge of the farmland, the houses in the center are not much different from the layout of the underworld, with the farm workers having their own houses and the farmer having a small two-story building.
At this time, the newly arrived Immortal Hunters were asking the farmer here about being attacked by tiger-shaped monsters, but this old man with white hair seemed to have not chatted with outsiders for too long, and enthusiastically introduced all the tiger-shaped ghosts in the underworld while pouring tea for everyone.
"It's not because everything in the underworld is embarrassed to say anything without a ghost, ghost, ghost, spirit, or anything like it, it's really a bad habit! Hum! The old farmer scoffed.
Although he was entitled to call his farm "Hope" rather than the hell of a ghost, he ......
Several of the "underworld" hunters looked at each other and decided not to discuss the topic.
"So, what is the legend about it?" Hong Ying wiped the non-existent sweat on his head and tried to keep up with the topic.
"Speaking of which, it's still your predecessor," the old farmer's gaze swept over the young man in front of him, "When the Underworld Hunt and the Underworld Guard never existed, the Underworld was not renovated, and there was no other way to reach the Underworld except death, it was this 'Ghost Tiger' who maintained the stability of the Underworld. ”
“…… It is obviously the king of the ten halls of Hades, the bull head and the horse face, as well as the impermanence of black and white. Lu Yao seemed to have searched the historical information and retorted in a low voice, but because there was a well-informed old man in front of him who didn't know how long he had lived, his tone was a little hesitant.
"Counting everything you said, how much is it in total?" The farmer seemed to like children very much, and looked at the hooded girl with a smile and replied: "At that time, there was only a little order around the Hades Palace, and other places were rampant and chaotic with ghosts, if a newly dead ghost was unlucky enough to appear on the periphery, although it would not die again if it was dragged away by the ghosts, it would be difficult to go to the reincarnation well again." ”
"So it's this 'ghost tiger' who maintains order on the periphery? But no matter how powerful it is, there is only one end, how to protect such a large underworld? Lea seemed to be a little unaccustomed to the chaos in the underworld depicted by the old man, and asked with a slight frown.
"That's a good question, now what I'm going to say has something to do with your purpose," the old man took a sip of his tea, ignoring Hong Ying's resentful gaze, and continued: "The 'Ghost Tiger' can control all the tigers and leopard-type ghosts I introduced to you before, regardless of distance or proximity, so it can protect the inhabitants in multiple parts of the underworld at the same time. ”
"Control?" "Infinite distance?" Wei Yi and Hong Ying stood up at the same time, glanced at each other, nodded and sat down again.
No, there are still doubts...... It makes no sense for a vanished Ancient Guardian to suddenly appear and attack the object he is trying to protect......
"Next is what you were going to ask," the farmer smiled, and put a floor plan on the table, on which the distribution of the farm could be clearly seen, and a field in the farthest southwest was crossed: "There are ten 'spirit valleys' planted there, which are equivalent to rice in the human world, and after inspection by the workers, it was found that those grains were only uprooted, not eaten, and there are many paw prints of tigers and leopard-shaped ghosts in the fields, is there anything else that needs to be asked?" ”
"So...... To whom are these 'Spirit Valleys' offered? Wei Yi scratched his head, the clues left were very obvious, it seemed that the other party had no intention of hiding it at all, but there was nothing to ask.
"Those restaurants and inns and other places that need to provide food, but there are no hard and fast rules about who to serve." The old man dotted on the map with his finger: "If there are so many, at most let their porridge be a little thinner, unless they are particularly picky, they will not taste it at all." ”
"Uh, thanks, let's go out and ask your workers a little bit, okay?" Wei Yi stood up and thanked the old man with his hands.
"Oh, yes, maybe they found some animal hair," the old farmer brought tea to the guest: "If you want to know the exact whereabouts of Linggu, you can ask Liting who came to the farm to receive the goods." ”
――――
"'Ghost Tiger', I heard something interesting, which can be used as a reference." After questioning the workers around the farm, Wey, who found nothing, decided to go to the scene to have a look.
"It should be noted that I don't have any information about the 'Ghost Tiger' in my database, which is very strange." Lu Yao floated and followed with his hood, golden streamers flashed in his eyes from time to time, and it seemed that he still hadn't given up retrieving information.
"The old man said a lot, but he didn't talk about the specific appearance, so he could only confirm that the heads on the photo were not." Leah was careful not to let her chainmail boots step into the field as she walked.
"All I care about is whether it can fight or not." Hong Ying carried the axe and followed at the end, Yixing Yanshan: "Speaking of such a trivial matter, why are you so nervous about catching your head?" ”
"It's no small feat." A gentle mature male voice rang out: "It means that the wild goblin has broken through the 'barrier'." ”
In front of everyone is the destroyed farmland, sure enough, the leaves are very miserable, and a machine car with a large body is parked at the edge of the field, and a middle-aged man in a dark purple straight suit is standing next to the car to observe the field, it seems that the sentence is what he said.
"Hello, we are the Special Operations Agency, and we have been ordered to investigate the destruction of farmland, may I ask you?" Wei Yi walked over first and said to the middle-aged man.
"My name is Liting, a merchant in the 'afterlife', maybe the farmer mentioned it to you," the middle-aged man with two mustaches and a stern but amiable attitude: "This batch of destroyed crops was originally what I was going to harvest today, and I was a little surprised by this. ”
"So, what is the 'barrier' you just mentioned?" Wei Yi asked as he observed the middle-aged merchant who claimed to be Liting.
"It was a defensive field set up by the Twin Yamas in a specific place, because they looked like walls, they were generally called 'barriers', and the largest one was the one that protected the underworld," Li Ting pointed around, "Although the barriers here are not strong enough, they cannot be passed through by ordinary ghosts, unless they come from the outside world." ”
"It's worthy of being a businessman, his mind is really sharp," Wei Yi nodded: "The fast hunting room has preliminarily judged that they are demonic beasts flowing from the demon realm, and they have sent pluto guards to patrol, and we will make further countermeasures after checking the location of the incident." ”
"Yes, everybody, please." Stepping aside from the thunderbolt, leaving room for the Hunters to check.
"Sure enough, it's the 'Shadow Leopard', and the overall number is six." "It's like having a deep hatred with these spirit valleys, uprooted, tsk." "They're obviously omnivorous, but why just destroy them and not eat a bite?" As the team began to inspect the fields, Captain Wei stared thoughtfully at the footprints
。 No...... There is a simpler way to get through the barrier...... But is there any point in doing that......
"When I came, I saw that the public office car had just returned from the halfway rest stop, and the next train might have to wait for a long time," Li Ting walked to Wei Yi's side and said, "If you don't dislike it, I can send everyone back, anyway, there is no goods to pull back this time." ”
"Of course not, thank you very much." Wei Yi smiled at him and nodded.
――――
"Yo roar-" Sitting in the back compartment of Liting's private machine car, Hong Ying danced with his hands, but he remembered not wielding an axe.
"I haven't seen a lot of private machine cars in the underworld at the moment, so they must be expensive, right?" Leah is evaluating the price of the car.
"Strange...... The engine was indeed spinning, but it did not have the consumption reaction of the five spirit stones...... And Lei Ling's reaction in front was a little out of the norm......" Lu Yao was looking at the cab and muttering to herself.
Wey sat there with his eyes closed.
No, not him...... There is no sign that Warcraft has ever been transported here......
The machine car drove past the rest station of the ancient battlefield, and after a turn, it continued to drive towards the underworld, and next to the uninhabited rest station, a huge tiger wearing silver armor, snow-white coat, and two people tall slowly emerged from the air with a disturbance like ripples on the water surface, it stared at the direction in which the machine car disappeared for a while, and turned to leave.
