Volume 1 Never by a Sword Chapter 18 The Mystery

Farmer Huang Qi: Level 10, farmer. Huang Qi is a farmer in Daxinwu Village. The Huang family ranks second, known as Huang Er, nicknamed Pimple. When he was born, because of his peculiar appearance, he was different from ordinary people, and was named "strange" by the village head. Grinning when he has nothing to do, his laughter is silly, so he is mistaken for being born stupid, and every time he says kiss, he is disgusted by the woman, and even the matchmaker can't help it. Good at skill none. Does not deal substantial damage to novice players.

At the first glance of Huang Qi, Tu Shi thought he saw a toad. This man's face was like a flat plate, his nostrils were facing the sky, his mouth was very large, and he could grin to the base of his ears, and his eyes were the size of peanuts and sesame seeds; The worst thing is that I don't know if I squeezed the pimples too much, his face was full of potholes, no wonder the nickname was "Pimple". The appearance is no longer flattering, cough, it doesn't matter, the croppers, what they want is strength and not appearance, but Huang Qi is really a little bit like that when he laughs, which family is willing to marry his daughter!

"You said the Black Water Pool Monster!" Huang Qi came to his senses as soon as he heard it, this is the capital he bragged about since he was a child, and the villagers have long been tired of hearing it, but the strong men never get tired of hearing it, and they are really a group of loyal listeners who are not good.

"Can you describe that scene again?"

"That's a bloody mouth! My mother......

An old lady in the back room leaned out half of her body from the door: "Pimple, what's wrong?" ”

"I didn't call you!" Huang Qi was a little embarrassed, and waited for the old lady to disappear before continuing to dance with his eyebrows: "That mouth swallows my old cow in one bite!" I was only a little older, and I didn't have enough for two of them! ”

"Are you sure it's a mouth? Not a lot of mouths? ”

"Sure!"

The old lady came out of the back room again, sighing: "Blow, blow, blow, you know how to blow all day long, can you eat and wear clothes and nonsense?" Pimple, you're not too young, you're still so hanging, what should you do if your mother dies! My mother still wants to hug her grandson before entering the ground! ”

Huang Qi said loudly: "Mother, you are in good health, you will definitely live to be a hundred years old!" ”

Mrs. Huang: Level 10, physician. Mrs. Huang is the stable woman of Daxinwu Village. In the early years, he married into the Huang family, can handle housework, can handle farm work, and is also good at delivering babies. Ordinary people believe in sending their son Guanyin, even if they lack food and clothing, Guanyin's birthday and the fifteenth day of the new year are indispensable to the Bodhisattva's incense. also has the habit of being a matchmaker, and has made up good things for many singles in Daxin Housing Village, but he is helpless against his own Huang Er. After the age of fifty, his body is not as good as before, and he stays at home to raise chickens and pigs, or teach embroidery to female red. The only wish is to find a caring person for Huang Er, and he can leave with peace of mind. Good at skill none. Does not deal substantial damage to novice players.

Wen Po is also a doctor? Obstetrics and gynecology?

In Daxinwu Village, there is only one doctor, Wen Po, Orion, and woodcutter, Huo Xiang, Chai Hu, and Fang Feng have all seen Tu Shi, and the last one is Mrs. Huang in front of her. Mrs. Huang is not from this village, but she is an old seniority in this village, and when she married in, the chief of the security department had not yet retired, and the village chief was still studying outside.

"The old lady is good." Tu Shi greeted politely and asked, "I heard that the cow is indeed missing, Huang Qi is not nonsense, right?" ”

"Where are there monsters in the Black Water Pool! It's just nonsense, the cow must have been lost, either it broke its leg in some col, or it was taken away by a tiger, in short, no one knows if it was dead. ”

"Mother!" Huang Qi was indignant.

"There's really no monster there, maybe some big toads."

Tu Shi immediately came to the spirit: "What did you say! Say it again, please! ”

"That's when my dad was a kid, and I've heard him say it a few times. When he was a child, he was so hungry that he secretly went to the black water pool to fish, only to encounter a toad the size of a dog. I asked him to catch one and bring it back for me to see, but he said he had only encountered it once and never again. I see, his father also loves to brag, and he doesn't stop talking when he can't lie. If a toad is really the size of a dog, wouldn't it become a sperm? ”

"Mother, I remember it too, my father told me about this!" Huang Qi was excited: "You say, is the one who eats our old cow a big toad essence?" At that time, my ass was white! ”

"Go, go, I should have beaten you harder and cured your hysteria! If there are really monsters in this world, I still hope that a snail girl will fall from the sky! Mrs. Huang chattered again, and the content was nothing more than a lifelong event around her son.

Tu Shi asked, "How did he catch the toad?" With the net? Fishing rod? Or with a harpoon? "If a child has a way to deal with a big toad, this monster is not to be feared.

"He can't catch it at all! The toad jumped back into the pool with a clatter, he didn't know how to water, he didn't dare to go down, he found a stick to puncture the toad eggs on the shore, and heard him say that they were the size of eggs. ”

…………………………………………

The village chief details the environment at the beginning of the game......

"The last thing to say is that there is a murderous thing in the black water pool behind the village, and the cattle of the Huang Er family were eaten by that murderous thing, and the strong men must not approach, so as not to lose their lives. According to a celestial master who traveled here a few years ago, the murderous creature has lived for too long and is about to become a sperm, and ordinary people can't take it. ”

…………………………………………

Tu Shi recalled this passage and hurriedly asked, "Old lady, do you remember that a Heavenly Master once visited?" ”

"Oh, you said that Zhang Tianshi! That's a great man! ”

Huang Qi seemed to have found a savior, he was extremely excited, and his mouth grinned even bigger: "Mother, that Heavenly Master can help me testify, I didn't lie!" ”

Tu Shi didn't care about him: "What did the Heavenly Master say at that time?" What was done? ”

"Heavenly Master...... Didn't do anything! I was still a child at the time, so I asked a few friends to secretly follow behind the Heavenly Master, and found that he was just standing by the pool and saying a few words, and then left. ”

Do nothing? Is it a swaggering stick? Tu Shi was a little discouraged, but still did not give up the last glimmer of hope: "That's it? Did he leave anything behind? ”

"It seems like there's a real thing," he said...... Mother, do you remember? ”

Mrs. Huang thought for a while and said, "On the night of the full moon, don't go near the waterhole; With bitter gall in his mouth, his feet are like a civet cat. These words are very knowledgeable, and the village chief has recited them many times, saying that this must be a mantra, and those who have wisdom roots can understand it. ”

After saying goodbye, Tu Shi was a little dazed. The system did not give a way to deal with the big toad, maybe the big toad was not as difficult to deal with as imagined? He wanted to say a few words to Fang Feng, but found that the door of Fang Feng's house was closed, and he didn't know whether he refused to see guests or left home without returning.

There is a quirky atmosphere in the village. When the villagers learned that they were going to the mysterious Black Water Pool tonight, some were excited, some were afraid, some were overwhelmed, and in short, everyone was very busy, as if they were forcing themselves to find something to do and not to think nonsense. Players also found that the villagers were unusual, and some people who were not popular with NPCs deliberately chatted with NPCs and were able to receive quests. Most of the quests are for the player to carry the three animals and fruits, and go to the Black Water Pool with the team.

Time flies, and the sun is thinning.

The chief escorted Huo Xiang out of the house, tidied up the queue a little, and walked at the front, although he was lame, everyone unconsciously slowed down, so that the chief could always lead the team. Orion Chai Hu followed the chief of the body, holding a torch in one hand and a hunting knife at his waist with the other, already sweating profusely, Tu Shi knew that this person was most afraid of entering the mountains at night. Huo Xiang was tied up by five flowers, he kept his head down, and let the child throw things on him, but Tu Shi couldn't see it and stepped forward to stop it. And the players became the second half of the team under the leadership of the Xuanyuan trio, and the villagers did not stand in the way. Women and children remained in the village, and with the exception of a few who had to keep vigil, the adult men of the village had to escort the team from the night attacks of the boars.

Tu Shi found that the back mountain tonight was also foggy and humid.

The silent procession came to the edge of the Blackwater Pool.

Without much conversation, a few young men put the pork prepared in advance on the shore and called out to Daisen to see if there would be a big toad ashore. Tu Shi and Huo Xiang looked nervously at the pond together. The water of the pool never seemed to be so calm as it is now, deep and dark, as if it were the corpse of a big monster.

After a long time, the water in the pool was not prosperous, and the chief of the Bao sighed lowly, this voice could only be heard by Tu Shi and Huo Xiang. After sighing, the chief regained his serious and upright appearance, and said, "Huo Xiang, what else do you wantβ€”"

With a thud, three large toads jumped ashore, and they were dazed to find that there were suddenly dozens of more people here. When their simple brains were unable to comprehend the change, one player shouted, "It's real!" Monsters will be spawned here! "Originally, the players relied on the pool to the fullest, but now they are all moving closer to the toad.

Rumble!

The thunder exploded, and even Tu Shi couldn't help but tremble all over, succumbing to the instinct of the creature to fear the sound. Before his eyes, a blue-black dirt bag emerged from the pool, growing taller and wider, revealing a broad, uneven back five meters squareβ€”a toad the size of an African elephant. Its eyes, even though tiny, were the size of a basketball when scaled up, bulging out to stare at uninvited guests, and its white belly clinging to snails and aquatic plants stirred rhythmically.

This is the toad, the monster, the water ghost, the great immortal, the thunder on a sunny day, the source of poisonous water, and the boss of the novice village.

The mystery of the secret of the Black Water Pool is solved.

The reason why the woodcutter Fang Feng made the matter big and asked the villagers to escort Huo Xiang to Heishuitan was probably not to hope that Huo Xiang would be executed, but to hope that the villagers would anger the "Great Immortal", and the "Great Immortal" would sanction the villagers. He was not the only one who wanted to kill Huo Xiang - this was a sacrifice presided over by him, and the sacrifice was the villagers of Daxinwu Village. Now he must be hiding somewhere nearby, watching the next scene, completely intoxicated with his revenge plan!

All of them were immobile, as if in a nightmare, waking up to witness the horrors but unable to control their bodies freely. Was it frightened by the thunder, or by the giant toad? No one can say clearly. Tu Shi had only one thought in his mind: only such a big toad could swallow a cow in one bite.

Stiffness comes and goes as quickly as it happens, and once the soul and body are reunited, the villagers either kneel down or run away, and the player has only one reaction: draw their weapons and prepare for battle. The player is the new force in the battle against the big toad - not only Fang Feng has prepared the plan, but Tu Shi, who has seen through the plan, has also arranged his backhand.
