Xiangxi Shadow Chapter 16 The white-haired monster is coming
Xiang Wei had seen the corpse of the toast, he was obviously a little flustered, and asked:
"So what now? It's not going to chase us, is it? ”
I eased up a little at this time, looked at Xiang Wei and Xu Jinshan, and wanted to ask him why he went earlier, wasn't it very majestic when he was moving things?
But it's useless to say this at this point, anyway, the white-haired monster must have raised a corpse, and as for whether it will target us after it is raised, I really don't know.
"Qiu Yan, this thing is a bit weird." I ignored Xiang Wei, but said to Qiu Yan, "When Erwa and I went to look at the corpse, it was already cold and cold, and did you notice, from the time we found it until now, this white-haired monster seems to have never made a sound!" ”
Qiu Yan touched her chin and thought for a while, then replied:
"You seem to be true when you say that, so what do you say is going on?"
I shook my head and said:
"I don't know, but I think it's either something to do with the corpse or the rock."
"Stones? What stone? Qiu Yan asked.
Only then did I remember that Qiu Yan and the others didn't know about the stone, so I told them what Old Man Peng and I had found in the mule and horse house.
"That's it, I guess the reason why the white-haired monster is pestering us is because he wants to get that stone back." I added.
Who knew that when Xiang Wei heard this, he immediately shouted:
"If you know that the white-haired monster wants the stone, why don't you give it back? Do you have to wait until it hurts to take it out? ”
My anger was immediately stimulated by Xiang Wei's words:
"Xiang Wei, where the did I offend you? From the time you got here until now, you've been weird, if there's anything you don't like, you just say it, it's really not good, let's compare and compare, don't always chirp crooked, okay?
Didn't you ask me why I didn't give it back to the white-haired monster? I tell you, I was about to pay it back, but I can't be faster than your crossbow, I should have known that you were coming with a weapon, and I wouldn't have stopped you earlier? ”
Xiang Wei was angry with me, and immediately stopped talking, in fact, when I was in Dongergou, Xiang Wei and I got along very well, and after arriving in the provincial capital, I found that he was a little wrong, but he didn't target me at that time.
Looking at Xiang Wei with his head down, I couldn't bear it, so I lowered my voice and said:
"Everyone is in the same boat now, and no one wants anything to go wrong, but it's already like this, we have to look forward, and now that the white-haired monster has risen from the corpse, we have to think about what will happen next."
Xiang Wei snorted coldly and stepped aside, and Xu Jinshan also followed him.
Qiu Yan sighed and said:
"Tell me what you think!"
Qiu Yan is only a college student after all, and she is also a female college student, when things are going well, she can still support the scene, but once things change, especially this kind of change that is beyond her control, she will also panic, Dongergou is like this, and it is the same now.
Although Qiu Yan was very calm on the surface, as soon as these words came out, I knew that she had handed over the command to me.
I sorted out my emotions, glanced at Xiang Wei, who was sitting on the side, and asked:
"How many crossbows did you bring?"
Xiang Wei reluctantly replied:
"Two, and two mountain knives!"
I thought to myself that these are all controlled supplies, didn't Xiang Wei think that it was illegal to take these things out?
However, it is not easy to pursue these at this time, after all, if the white-haired monster is in trouble, we really need these things.
"Take it all out, just in case."
When I had said this, I withdrew to the mule and horse hut, and paid no more attention to them.
To be honest, I'm very angry, it only took less than half an hour for Qiu Yan and I to clean up that pile of things just now, if Qiu Yan had listened to me, we would only need an hour at most to clean things out in the cave, and there would be no follow-up.
Although the white-haired monster is a beast, it is also a living creature bred by heaven and earth, and even if it is not the god that Old Man Peng said, it is at least a rare animal.
It's good now, Xu Jinshan turned it off with a crossbow, and left us with a hidden danger, isn't this worth the loss?
Xiang Wei turned out all the weapons, he and Xu Jinshan each took a crossbow, and the two mountain knives were divided between Qiu Yan and Liang Wen, originally a mountain opening knife was intended to be given to Long Quan, but Long Quan didn't want it, he said that it was enough for him to have a stick.
I sat alone in the mule house and sulked for a while, and then it occurred to me that since I was sure that the white-haired monster had a corpse, the ordinary method might not be able to deal with it, and perhaps I would have to deal with it in the end.
Thinking of this, I quickly flipped out the codex in my backpack and found a wooden stick that was quite the spot.
I rummaged through the codex as I sharpened the stick: the white-haired monster was no better than a human, and I had to be quick and accurate, or I might not even have a chance to fight back once it started to fight back.
The room was quiet, everyone sat in a corner, each thinking about it, Qiu Yan checked Liang Wen's wound, and then walked to the fire to continue cooking.
At this time, the old man Peng walked in with a cigarette pouch, he first patted the mule to look at the horse, and then sat down against me.
"He boy, do you still know how to afford a corpse?" Old man Peng asked pretending to be unintentional.
I glanced up at him, and then I thought that this old man Peng had lived in Xiangxi for a long time, and he was so old, he must have heard more or less about this thing.
"What, you've seen corpses?" I asked rhetorically.
Old man Peng laughed:
"I've heard of corpses where it's so easy to see."
I smiled, then buried my head and continued to look through the codex.
Suddenly, Old Man Peng changed his words and said:
"Generally, the corpse is related to the corpse chaser."
After hearing this, I suddenly raised my head and glanced at Old Man Peng, only to see Old Man Peng squinting his eyes with a smile, and then said meaningfully:
"I know that you are not a simple kid, and you dare to go deep into the mountains with a girl."
Speaking of this, Old Man Peng pointed to my codex with his chin and continued:
"That's the book wave that chases out the corpses?"
I didn't know how to answer, so I nodded.
Old man Peng lifted his feet, knocked on his heel with a cigarette pouch, and then said:
"This corpse chaser, we have legends everywhere in Xiangxi, but my old man has lived for most of his life, and I have never seen it, I really didn't expect it, I still know a corpse chaser when I am old, and I am still such a young corpse chaser, my old man has not lived in vain."
I thought that Old Man Peng would tell me some shocking secret, but who knew that he just sighed like this, I breathed a sigh of relief, and continued to read my codex.
In this way, Old Man Peng accompanied me to read a book in the house for about half an hour, and during this time, no one in the room spoke much, and the white-haired monster seemed to have disappeared, and did not come to disturb us.
I flipped through the codex, but I didn't see a word about the corpses of animals, and at this time, Qiu Yan's dinner was also done.
Qiu Yan beckoned everyone to come over for dinner, and with delicious food, the atmosphere in the room was finally relaxed, and everyone began to talk and laugh again, and even Xiang Wei took the initiative to ask me if I had any new discoveries.
But just when I thought everything was back to normal, there was a loud bang above our heads, and then a white behemoth fell from the sky, and the white object smashed right between us with wood and rubble, splashing the burning wood in the fire pit everywhere.
For a while, the house was full of mourning, dogs were barking, mules and horses were barking, and the dust in the house made people unable to open their eyes at all.
However, even if I couldn't see it, I knew what the white object was that had fallen.
"Everybody run!" I struggled to my feet, then screamed.
But before I could say anything, I was swept to the ground by a hand, and I heard two screams at the same time, and it seemed that I was not the only one who had been attacked.
At this moment, I suddenly felt a hand grab my arm, and I was about to resist, when I saw a head sticking out of the gray mist:
"Brother, this guy is not afraid of pain!"
I fixed my eyes and saw that it was Long Quan, who was holding the stick in one hand and grabbing me in the other, trying to pull me up.
"Nonsense, how can a corpse be afraid of pain!"
I stood up with Long Quan's strength, and then went with Long Quan to find the rest of the people.
Suddenly, there was a scream from the corner of the house, and Long Quan and I hurried over, and when we looked over, we saw that the white-haired monster was holding Liang Wen with both hands, and it was about to be smashed down.
Without thinking about it, the dragon ran over with a stick and put it on the back of the white-haired monster's neck, and when I saw this, I picked up a piece of wood and smashed it against the white-haired monster's arm.
Unfortunately, the wood was so rotten that it smashed on the white-haired monster's arm like a stone, and it immediately scattered and cracked.
Fortunately, the white-haired monster was attracted by the two of us, and it threw Liang Wen away, turned around and rushed towards me and Long Quan.
I had also seen corpses in the ancient tomb of Wushan before, and I didn't expect the white-haired monster to be so fast after the corpse was raised.
Just as I was stunned, the white-haired monster had already arrived in front of me, and I immediately hooked my body, and then jumped to the side, avoiding the white-haired monster.
After dodging, I noticed that the dragon was more nimble than I was, and he slid sideways to the side, then slipped under the white-haired monster's arm and got behind it.
I didn't have time to sigh at Long Quan's skill, the white-haired monster turned around and ran towards me again.
At that moment, I heard two loud "whoosh" sounds in the air, and then I saw the white-haired monster's body shake suddenly, and it actually turned in the wrong direction, and then slammed into the wall next to me.
Only then did I see two crossbow arrows stuck in the knee socket of the white-haired monster, and behind it, Xiang Wei and Xu Jinshan were busy reloading the crossbow arrows.
"Come here!" Qiu Yan stood behind Xiang Wei and beckoned to me and Long Quan, and I saw that Old Man Peng and Erwa were standing next to Qiu Yan at this time.
Long Quan and Liang Wen and I hurriedly ran over, and then a few of us formed a situation of encirclement of the white-haired monster.
But what's the use of that? This is not a confrontation between two armies, and our enemy is not a person who can be measured by common sense.
Before the white-haired monster could react, I pulled Xiang Wei and said:
"Everyone threw away the knives and crossbows, find a few longer sticks, this guy is not afraid of pain or cut, ordinary methods can't deal with it."
