Chapter 171: Gambling Marriage
The horde of ghouls arrived in the blink of an eye, like a group of small skeletons, supported by their forearms like chimpanzees, and when the ghouls arrived at Fangcai's battle area, the blood-stained soil on the ground was directly dug up and filled into their stomachs, like starving ghosts.
On the ground, there were still a few corpses of digging beasts that had time to be put away, and they were instantly snatched up by the ghouls, not even a trace of bones remained, and the blood-stained soil was swallowed into the stomach of the ghouls, and the land was as if it had just been hit by a storm.
Lin Hu's reminder was very timely, if it was a little later, it was very likely that someone would have to sacrifice. Ghouls do not have the ability to see, they rely on their sense of smell for death to move, and they quickly retreat from their corpses to survive.
Before everyone had time to rejoice, the next wave of soul-sucking beasts followed. As Xia Yang and the others got closer to the beast tide, the interval between their encounters with the soul-sucking beasts became smaller, and the intensification of the battle made everyone tired, but in order to survive, they had to grit their teeth and persevere.
Just after Xia Yang and the others had just experienced the attack of a group of Taurus monsters, they barely had time to take any rest, and another wave of gargoyle monsters attacked, at this time, most of them were extremely exhausted, and this group of gargoyle monsters was very powerful, and there were many of them, everyone had fallen into despair, and even many people closed their eyes and waited for death. At this critical juncture, Xia Yang's bodyguard, Wan Feng, who had not made any movement, finally appeared, and with a circle of blood-red light flashing, the stone monster fell like a straw.
The already desperate crowd suddenly encountered life, and at the same time, they were extremely happy, and at the same time, all their potential exploded. Soon all the gargoyle monsters were killed, of course, most of them were killed by Wan Feng.
"Clean up the battlefield quickly, and I'll take you forward." Wan Feng didn't have any politeness, and said directly.
Wan Feng's appearance made these people ecstatic. They quickly recognized the identity of this strongman in Wangxiang Township, and when they heard that Wan Feng had no interest in these gargoyle monsters, his tired body burst out with vitality again, and quickly packed up the spoils on the ground.
Xia Yang's movements were faster than anyone else's. He had already freed up a special space ring to pick up the corpses of the soul sucking beasts, Wan Feng couldn't look down on these stone monsters, but for him, everything was wealth.
With Wan Feng's help, the next march was very easy, and in the evening of the next day, Xia Yang and the others finally saw the shadow of the Mountain of Life and Death, and the beast tide at this time was almost gone, which was because the nearby villages were guarding together.
With their respective villages in sight. Everyone set out on their way home. Xia Yang and Lin Hu were also separated. When he came to the entrance of Li Village, Wan Feng also proposed to leave.
Xia Yang thanked Wan Feng for saving his life, and tried his best to save the queen. Only then did I say goodbye to Wan Feng.
The atmosphere in Li Village was tense, and Xia Yang's appearance did not cause much movement. He went straight to Li Tong's house.
"Brother Li, I'm back."
Li Tong, who was in a daze, raised his head, and in a blink of an eye, his expression was surprised and happy, "Brother Xiayang, you ......"
"It's me!" Xia Yang walked over to the side and washed his face with some water, and then he breathed a sigh of relief, "I'm tired to death!" ”
"Brother Xiayang, it's really you!" Li Tong reacted at this time, and grabbed Xia Yang's arm, "It's good to come back, it's good to come back!" ”
"By the way, Brother Li Tong, I saw Po before I came back." Xia Yang said flatly, but his eyes looked at Li Tong quietly.
Sure enough, Li Tong's face changed, and he immediately asked bitterly: "Bao...... How is she? ”
"Not good!" Xia Yang said loudly, seeing Li Tong's face stiffen, "Ah Bao asked me to bring you a message, if you don't give a dowry within a year, she will ......"
Li Tong shook his head and said astringently: "Alas, it seems that I have no chance with Ah Bao in this life......"
"Brother Li Tong, isn't it one of the three evil beasts!" Xia Yang exhaled, "What's the big deal!" ”
"Brother Xia Yang, you may not know ......" Li Tong said to Xia Yang with a wry smile, "The three evil beasts are hard to see, let alone hunting!" ”
"How could I not know about the three evil beasts!" Xia Yang said with a smile, "Li Ling told me about the three evil beasts, and I also know that they are difficult to hunt, but there is nothing difficult in the world, I am afraid of people with hearts!" However, Brother Li Tong, I'm really curious, why would Bao's father propose such a difficult dowry? ”
"That's a long story!" Li Tong shook his head and sat down on the steps of the door dejectedly, Xia Yang also sat down, "Ah Bao and I have been childhood sweethearts since childhood, and we have no guesses, if their family had been here, we would probably have married and had children, but things often don't go smoothly!" ”
Ah Bao's father saved money to buy the butcher shop in Wangxiang Township, and Ah Bao's family moved out of the village. Later, when I went to give a dowry to Bao's family, I didn't expect someone to also give a dowry to Bao's family! ”
"What?" Xia Yang couldn't help asking, for Bao's looks? No way! It must be something else!
"You may not know the customs here, if there are two families at the same time, the woman can't refuse, she can only gamble on the marriage!"
"Gambling on marriage?" Li Ling did not tell Xia Yang about this statement.
"Yes, it's a gambling marriage!" Li Tong said with a wry smile, "The woman makes a dowry request, and if either party matches the woman's dowry request, the woman will marry her daughter to the other party!" ”
"The other one is a rich man, and they can buy ordinary things with money, but these three evil beasts can't be bought with money! Therefore, Ah Bao's father proposed to use these three evil beasts as a dowry. Bao also knew that his father was helpless, so he gave up on himself and overate all day long, Bao simply hoped that the other party would take the initiative to withdraw from this gambling marriage because of her appearance, but the other party obviously had other plans and did not quit the gambling marriage, and Bao gradually became what he is now! ”
"Are you saying Po wasn't like this before?"
"Ah Bao is an extremely beautiful gentle and graceful woman, and the other party takes a fancy to Ah Bao on the one hand because of Ah Bao himself, and the other reason is the butcher shop that plotted Ah Bao's house, and it is said that there are treasures hidden under that butcher shop......"
"It has been four years since Ah Bao's father made this dowry request, and his original time limit was five years, if both parties do not match the dowry requirements, Ah Bao's father will marry Ah Bao Xu to other families other than these two families."
"That's it......" Xia Yang touched his chin, it was more difficult to do, according to Li Tong, once the gambling marriage failed, these two families obviously lost the opportunity to get Bao, which may be nothing to the other party, but for Li Tong, this result is obviously unacceptable, but the only hope is the three evil beasts.
