Chapter 13: Werewolves
Eventually, we broke out of the village, and seeing that the sky was already setting, we had to find a place to rest first, remembering that there were a few teahouses on the way here, so I had to rush back with Ling Feng.
After walking for a few miles, I finally found the teahouse, discussed with the boss, and bought a night's rest in the teahouse for a large price of 50 silver coins. After all, teahouses are generally only open during the day, and they need to be closed at night, which is also related to the system of the Tang Kingdom.
It was almost night, and in order to kill time, I ordered some tea and sat in the hall to drink tea. Now there are no other guests in the tea room except us. The boss is also ready to close the door, we still have to stay in the hotel, and immediately pulled the boss over to chat, I don't want to listen to Ling Feng's nagging, it's too terrifying, no one should like to listen to his nagging. Just when I thought that the situation in this neighborhood seemed a little special, I asked the boss to investigate.
"Boss, what's the name of this mountain near us?"
"There's a mountain ahead, and it's exactly where you've just come. The name of this mountain is Pingdingshan, but it is named because the top of the mountain is full of rocks and no grass grows. But I advise you not to go lately, for there has always been a strange wolf howl in the mountains these days, and lately there have been some outsiders who have gone to the mountains and don't know what they are doing. ”
"Then do you know if there are any villages near the foot of this mountain?"
"I don't know very well, the situation in this mountain is very special, and the location is very remote." After speaking, the boss took a sip of tea, looked at me and nodded slightly, and tapped his fingers lightly on the old wooden table a few times.
If you want money, forget it's okay, a piece of information, a piece of money, so be it. I threw a silver coin on the table, and the boss saw that I had only thrown a silver coin, shook his head, and slowly extended a finger. I'll go, this boss is so fat, and he loves money so much. No wonder he's so fat, and he wants to open a tavern in this kind of place, it turns out that he wants to make extra money. There was no way, and he threw out 9 more silver coins, and the fat boss who was greedy for money took a look at it and reached out to put the silver coins in his pocket.
"As far as I know, there have been many hunters in this mountain. Two days ago, three bodies were found at the foot of the mountain, and I heard that they seemed to be nearby villagers, wearing coarse cloth robes, but their deaths were terrifying. In order not to cause panic, the body has been sent to the city, and it is estimated that this will have arrived. ”
Hearing this news, I glanced at Ling Feng, had this matter actually spread. It seems that future investigations will be more cautious.
"Boss, since this happened, have anyone gone to the mountains recently?"
The boss banged on the table again. Yes, it costs another amount of money and throws 10 silver coins to him. He immediately took it and put it in his pocket. I really feel that the money is spent really too fast, and it is close to 1 gold coin a day at every turn, and now I am almost out of money when I play a game, and it seems that I have to make a lot of money.
"Yes, don't look at my teahouse far away, but I still have eyeliner telling me that there are indeed a group of people who often go to the mountains recently. They went yesterday too, but there is no sign of coming out yet. But ......"
"Whew~~"
A terrifying wolf howl sounded, and it seemed to come from the side of the mountain, and it was very loud. Immediately after that, many wolf howls sounded one after another, as if the whole wolf pack had been dispatched.
"Boss, have you heard such a voice before?" Seeing the fat boss twisting his fat body, he trembled and got under the table, and couldn't help but ask.
"No, no, no. There had never been anything like this before, it was supposed to be a wolf howling, and it hadn't been like this. ”
It dawned on me that this was going to be a huge discovery, and that the howl of the night had to be investigated.
I grabbed some candles from the kitchen, brought two torches, and rushed out the door.
On a dark and windy night, we took advantage of the darkness and hurried to our previous village. This made us even more surprisingly strange, there was not a single monster to see along the way. Unconsciously, it sped up our pace.
As we approached the village, we crept closer to the valley and observed the village near a large rock. The village seemed to be no different from before, with a huge, bright full moon hanging in the sky, reflecting the village. Looking at the village by moonlight, it seemed to be no different from before, but it was surprisingly quiet. I remember that when I came out, there were still chickens in the village, but I didn't feel any chickens. It didn't seem to be dangerous, so we quietly entered the village.
When I entered the village, I walked on the dirt road and looked at it for a long time, but I didn't find any people, as if the people I saw today were ghosts. Back in the house where we fled, the rope we had fled from was still on the ground, and nothing was found. Approaching the kitchen where I was arrested, I asked Ling Feng to take care of the wind, and I checked the situation inside. However, inside it was black and long, and it felt like nothing. Pushing open the door and walking in, there was a pile of leftovers in the courtyard of the kitchen, and some broken dishes, which was very weird, as if all the villagers seemed to have disappeared.
With a "bang", I accidentally stepped on a piece of porcelain, and there was no movement outside the door. Looking back into the kitchen room, suddenly a pair of blood-red eyes appeared in the darkness of the kitchen, and then more blood-red eyes appeared in the darkness. It was dense, and suddenly I broke out in a cold sweat, and my instinctive reaction was to run away quickly.
I immediately rushed out of the small courtyard, pulled up Ling Feng and ran, when suddenly a sharp wolf howl came from behind me. However, I found that I was on the wrong path, and in a panic I chose the road to the heart of the mountains. Hurriedly ran away, casually glanced back.
The owner of the red eyes is not a wolf, but seems to be a werewolf, in the night can only see the shape of a person, the long spikes on the back, in the movement to see their hideous claws and fangs, in the moonlight, very terrifying.
They were much faster than we were, and we ran for our lives to escape from here. Suddenly, as if we were running into a bubble, we stopped. Because the moon turned from bright white to bloody red, revealing a strange light, the faint red moonlight, I feel that the nearby plants are also a little different.
The werewolves outside suddenly stopped, looked at the moon, and suddenly fled in all directions like a pack of beasts. It's the first time I've seen this happen, and it seems that it's isolated from the outside, and werewolves are afraid of the moon. But are they afraid of the blood moon or the bright moon?
I reached out and touched the place I had just come from, only to find that it had become as hard as the wall. We looked at each other, knowing that there was no way to escape from here. It seems that the cause of the Blood Moon must be understood......
After entering the hinterland of the mountains, we had no clue and had to continue along the road. The plants along the way emitted a strange red light, and the trees in the forest showed their teeth and claws as if they were outstretching their claws. After walking forward for a short time, there is no way out, so I have to take one step at a time.
There was not a single living creature in the mountains, and after walking for so long, there was nothing but the horror of Sensen. Suddenly, a Taoist figure appeared in front of him, holding a torch and wearing a hooded robe, as if he were sacrificial. Ling Feng and I had no choice but to hide for the time being. I used the ring to sneak up on this person's information.
