Chapter 537: The Wolf Is Coming
"You... You, you, you...... Are you a human or a youkai? ”
The strong man Anglo pointed at Huo Xiaotian who was standing in front of him with a frightened face and asked, his voice trembling uncontrollably as he spoke.
"I'm a human, not a youkai, I'm just trying to get my cow back." Huo Xiaotian said, looking at the old scalper.
When Anglo heard this, the horror on his face was instantly enveloped by a kind of despair.
That old ox is the only tribute sacrificed to the werewolf, if it is taken away by Huo Xiaotian, how to explain to the werewolf?
In the past few decades, there has been a certain peace between the villagers and the werewolves, all because the villagers sacrifice a cow to the werewolves every time according to the agreement, and if this rule is broken, I am afraid that the werewolves will kill again.
The day of the bloodshed decades ago was still in their memory, and they didn't want that horrible thing to happen again.
However, Huo Xiaotian is obviously not a character to mess with, if he is angered, I am afraid they will not be able to escape their fate.
Now that we are in a dilemma, what should we do?
Huo Xiaotian saw Anglu's worries, and he also felt that if he took away the scalpers like this, the villagers would probably be retaliated against by the werewolves, and the shadow of death hung over the faces of every villager, making the atmosphere in this village a little sad.
Huo Xiaotian thought about it and finally made a difficult decision.
"I know that if I take the old ox away like this, your village may be attacked by werewolves, but I will never let you sacrifice to the werewolves, so why don't you help you get rid of the werewolves, so that you don't have to sacrifice a cow to the werewolves every month in the future, how about it?" Huo Xiaotian asked.
Heard Huo Xiaotian's proposal. The villagers couldn't help but look at each other.
At this time, the old village chief, who had not spoken all this time, suddenly walked out slowly.
"Young man, it's not that we don't want to get rid of the werewolves, it's that we've never succeeded in decades. Werewolves are different from other monsters, he only turns into a wolf on the day of the full moon, and on weekdays he will become a villager, we can't tell who is a werewolf and who is a normal villager, so even if we want to get rid of the werewolf, we can't do it. The old village chief said with a solemn face.
"You mean that werewolves will take on the form of humans?" Huo Xiaotian asked.
"Yes. Every time the werewolf transforms, his ability increases, and the disguise becomes deeper, that werewolf has lived for decades, and I believe that even if he is standing in front of us, we can't tell the difference, so we want to get rid of the werewolf. I'm afraid it's unlikely. The old village chief shook his head and said.
When Huo Xiaotian heard this, he couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
It's really hard for a werewolf to transform. It's no wonder that the transformation category is a niche theme, and it was later blocked.
But no matter whether the werewolf will transform or not, whether it is male to female or female to male, whether it is a lily or a married person, in short, Huo Xiaotian will never allow them to sacrifice the old ox to the werewolf.
"The old village chief. I know your difficulties, but I also hope that you will understand my difficulties, this old scalper is very important to me, and my time is very valuable. I can't let you sacrifice it to the werewolves, of course, I won't abandon you, I'll help you deal with the werewolves, and when the village is completely safe, I'll leave again, what do you think? Huo Xiaotian asked.
The old village chief turned around and discussed with the villagers, and after discussing for a while, they had no choice but to adopt Huo Xiaotian's suggestion, in fact, they had no choice, if Huo Xiaotian forcibly took the old scalper away tonight, they would have no choice.
"Well, lad, you'll be in for you." The old village chief said gratefully.
"It's okay, just take it as a little compensation for my village." Huo Xiaotian said.
"Yes." The old village chief nodded.
"What's the safest place in the village? It's better if even werewolves don't dare to approach. Huo Xiaotian asked.
"The church is the safest, the church is a sacred place, and all demons dare not approach." The old village chief said.
"Alright, let's take the old scalper to the church first." Huo Xiaotian said.
The crowd had no objection and led the old scalper to the church.
Huo Xiaotian kept watch in the church all night, and the next day, the village chief called a meeting of the villagers to discuss ways to deal with the werewolves together.
Although last night, the villagers reluctantly agreed to Huo Xiaotian's proposal, but today, some people changed their minds again.
They think that dealing with werewolves is a crazy move, and if they succeed in hunting werewolves, they are fine, but if they are not successful, they will definitely provoke more crazy revenge from werewolves, and may even encounter the threat of slaughtering the village.
As a result, some villagers began to retreat.
The villagers were divided into two factions, one was in favor of killing the werewolves, and the other was against them, feeling that they should find a way to continue to make peace with the werewolves, although Huo Xiaotian insisted on refusing to hand over the old ox, then, they wanted to try to replace the old ox with a pig or two sheep, hoping to continue to maintain peace with the werewolves.
The old village chief listened to the truth on both sides, and was a little hesitant.
Although Huo Xiaotian repeatedly persuaded him and reasoned with the facts, in fact, the werewolf blackmailing the village is the same as the kidnapper blackmailing his family, as long as you satisfy him once, he will ask for the second and third time, until you can't afford it, that is, when the kidnapper tears up the ticket.
Therefore, when encountering kidnappers for extortion, you must not hesitate, call the police decisively, and stop losses as soon as possible, otherwise, people will not be saved, but people and money will be empty.
Although Huo Xiaotian spoke very vividly, the old village chief still hesitated, after all, werewolves are much more terrible than kidnappers, and besides, the villagers in this village have been coerced by this werewolf for decades, and it seems that it has formed a routine, and it is probably not too simple to make them accept it suddenly.
However, just when the two sides were at a standstill, the village suddenly rang the sound of a rapid bell.
Hearing the ringing of the bell, the villagers couldn't help but get nervous and rushed out quickly.
Huo Xiaotian looked at the villagers running out suspiciously, and asked strangely, "What's wrong?" ”
The old village chief said with a solemn face: "The wolf is coming!" ”
After saying that, the old village chief also left the room and walked in the direction of the crowd.
Huo Xiaotian followed the villagers, and sure enough, he found a female corpse next to the haystack in the threshing floor.
And this female corpse is none other than Vivian, Vivian's stomach was bitten, her intestines and blood flowed all over the ground, her eyes were wide open, and the expression on her face was very hideous and terrifying.
Some of the timid villagers were too frightened to look at the corpses, and all the villagers were immersed in a sense of fear and sadness.
"The wolf eats people, why did he break the covenant?"
"The full moon has not yet arrived, why eat people?"
The villagers were angry and expressed their dissatisfaction strongly, and a feeling of hatred and hatred slowly spread through the village. (To be continued.) )
