Chapter 40: The Deserted Village (Part II)
Zhou Tie was already worried, but now that Zhou Wu mentioned it, he was even more worried.
Of course, no village is absolutely strange, but in the middle of nowhere, who can guarantee the safety of such a village suddenly appearing in the wilderness?
Zhou Tie commanded the group to advance another mile, and did not stop until they looked back and couldn't see the village when they looked closely.
Seeing this, Zhou Wu nodded with satisfaction in his heart, this time there will be no problem.
"Okay, let's do it here, everyone pack up like yesterday and spend the night here tonight. Zhou Tie said.
The campfires and tents were quickly set up.
With the boiling sound of hot water, the fragrant smell came out of the cauldron, and the cauldron soup was cooked.
"Third brother, I heard from the nursing home that you also practiced martial arts, and you killed a big monster, is it true?" Zhou Ping stood next to the bonfire, stretched his waist, and asked Zhou Wu casually.
I didn't expect it to be in the village this time, and the eldest brother still said the same thing in a different place, even if it wasn't the first time he encountered this situation, but he still felt very awkward when he heard the same words word for word.
"Yes, I'm already a martial artist in the Skin and Bone Realm. Zhou Wu replied as before.
"Why did you suddenly want to practice martial arts? Zhou Ping asked Zhou Wu.
This time, Zhou Wu was not embarrassed to say that sentence again, but smiled mysteriously and said, "This is a secret." ”。
"You kid, you still hide secrets from your eldest brother. See me teach you a good lesson. Zhou Ping made a gesture as if he was about to rush towards Zhou Wu, but it was just a move.
The two laughed.
However, no matter how many times Zhou Wu would not tell his eldest brother Zhou Ping the secret that it had the door of "storage and reading", knowing that this would only be bad for him.
I can spend tonight peacefully, Zhou Wuan fell asleep peacefully.
Zhou Wu seemed to hear the laughter of "hehe" in his sleep, as if he was not far from him, "hee-hee~" and kept laughing.
Zhou Wu shivered and woke up from his dream.
Is it too nervous and having nightmares?
Zhou Wu touched the cold sweat on his head.
Immediately, there was a baby laughter of "hey, hey, hey~" from a distance, although the sound was not loud, but it was indeed a baby's "hee-hee" laughter.
This voice was too familiar to Zhou Wu, it was exactly the same as the laughter of those strange little babies he had encountered in the deserted village before.
Zhou Wu walked quickly to the outside of the tent, just in time to almost bump into the Skin and Bone Realm Nursing Home at home who was in charge of the vigil, and he was just going to inform everyone of this strange situation.
"Third son, you were woken up by this strange voice? I don't know where this voice came from, do you want to tell the master about this situation. The nursing courtyard greeted Zhou Wu and said.
Zhou Wu shook his head and said unhurriedly, "No need, you take a closer look around." ”
Originally, it was late at night, and even if there was a campfire lighting, it was not possible to see as clearly as during the day. Just now, the nursing home didn't deliberately observe, so he didn't see anything abnormal, but now he heard Zhou Wu's words and carefully inspected the surroundings.
What he saw startled him.
Hundreds of blue-black skinned and naked babies were coming from all directions, and they had already surrounded the small tents of the Zhou family.
It is the body of a baby, but its hands and feet move together, and it flies like a rabbit.
Strange infant laughter came and went, and the two Skin and Bone Realm martial artists in charge of the night vigil saw these strange babies, standing on the ground in a daze, shivering, and speechless.
The rest of the Zhou family also woke up, and people came out one after another, and some people screamed loudly without interruption.
The smile on the face of the strange little baby was very hideous, and the eyes were as dull and lifeless as iron balls.
"Hee-hee-hee~"
These weird little babies were getting closer and closer, but Zhou Wu couldn't think of any way to deal with them. Before, I saw that Xiao Lin used the internal qi of internal power to make the "boat girl" and water ghosts unable to become transparent, but I didn't know if the self-healing ability of internal force was equally effective against these little babies, but now he is only in the skin and bone realm, and he doesn't even have the exercises of the internal force realm.
Now Zhou Wu is not as scared as before, after all, he will not die no matter what, he has the "Cunyu" gate, and he even killed a beautiful water ghost before.
The beautiful water ghost, the cyan weird baby in this deserted village, what are these strange things? He had heard the old man of the "guide" in Liyuan say that these strange things came from the world connected by the "path", but what kind of world would give birth to these strange things.
Zhou Wu sighed, obviously he had deliberately avoided the strange deserted village, and these blue-black little babies would still surround him, and it seemed that he could only advise his father not to take this road.
I could only read the file, and after a trance, Zhou Wu and the Zhou family returned to the city gate.
"Dad, don't take the wild road, I went to the teahouse these days and heard that many people have disappeared on that road in the past few months, I'm afraid there are some unclean things. Zhou Wu approached Zhou Tie, put his head close to Zhou Tie's ear and whispered.
Zhou Tie thought about it, if it was an ordinary bandit, he would naturally be fearless, but he had no resistance to those weird things, and if he had a way to deal with it, he would not give up his family business that had worked hard for decades and move to Kongcheng.
Although it is only a bit of a rumor, it is impossible to be careful.
"Master, I know there's a shortcut to go that way and save four or five days. A martial artist from the Skin and Bone Realm suggested to Zhou Tie.
"No, just keep going like this. Zhou Tie followed Zhou Wu's advice and took the official road.
After more than ten days of driving, Kong Cheng finally arrived, and Zhou Wu breathed a sigh of relief.
Sure enough, it is the capital of the Xia Kingdom, and the Black Sand City is not at the same level at all, the city gate alone is very magnificent, and the three-zhang high gate is very spectacular.
This is just a very smooth and normal journey for others, but for Zhou Wu, it is exchanged for reading the file twice and going through many rushes.
There are a lot of people entering the city, and they have to go through strict identity registration, and the Zhou family lined up behind the long line, from the morning to the afternoon, and finally lined up.
"Name?" asked the official guarding the city, expressionless.
"Zhou Tie. “
"Origin?"
"A native of Heisha City, Huangping County. “
*..................*
After the detailed identity registration of the Zhou family one by one, the officials guarding the city carefully and carefully inspected the Zhou family's cart to make sure that there were indeed no prohibited items, and then let it go.
