Chapter 23: The Hungry Town (6)
"Hehe, we also have no choice, if we don't eat you adventurers, we will starve to death, we just want to live, what's wrong, let me die!"
The demonized village chief's son roared and rushed to Tian Ling's approach, Tian Ling held the iron knife tightly and kept calculating the distance, and his palms were already full of sweat.
Just when the two of them were only one step away, a splash of red object was thrown at the face of the demonized village chief's son, and it turned out to be a bright red internal organcal!
The village chief's son was caught off guard and splashed in the face, and blood was thrown into his eyes, causing him to cover his eyes and scream.
Qiqi, whose hands were covered with blood, shouted at Tianling:
"What are you hesitating about, cut it!"
"Whew!"
A cold light flashed, and Tianling slashed off the right hand of the demonized village chief's son diagonally.
Maybe it wasn't completely demonized, he screamed in pain after losing his right hand, took a few steps back and lost his center of gravity, sat on the ground with his buttocks, opened his eyes vaguely, and slashed indiscriminately in front of him with his left hand.
Tianling shook the iron knife in his hand, this iron knife looked rusty, but he didn't expect it to be quite sharp, much easier to use than the iron pickaxe and shovel he used before.
Strode up to the son of the demonized village chief, cut off his other hand with another knife, stretched forward, and pressed the tip of the knife against his throat,
The battle is decided.
The village chief's son lay on the ground, his face was already full of blood and tears, his chest was constantly rising and falling, he had ambushed adventurers countless times before, only this time, he failed, he laughed miserably:
"That's what happened... Do it. ”
Tian Ling clenched the iron knife and slashed hard!
As far as the eye can see, the mountain is full of corpses, staining the foot of the mountain purple red.
[Member Zhao Keke, deceased]
Looking at Zhao Keke, whose stomach was opened, Tianling didn't say anything more, Qiqi knelt next to Zhao Keke's corpse, didn't cry anymore, looked at Tianling with big eyes and said softly:
"Brother Tianling, I can't get up, can you help me..."
"Not good."
Tianling ignored Qiqi, supported Guofu, and slowly walked down the mountain.
Qiqi saw that Tianling didn't care about her, and he didn't get angry, he got up and followed, and went down the mountain without looking back.
When he came to the door of the village chief's house, he found that the door was not locked, so he pushed the door and walked in.
"Scatter and find."
Tianling said and walked towards the bedroom on the first floor, Qiqi also ran upstairs to search, and after a while, all four bedrooms were searched, and there was still no shadow of the village chief.
Then only the kitchen remains, Qiqi saw Guofu looking for it on the fireplace, and couldn't help but sneer:
"Heh, I said Xiao Han Han, do you think that people can still hide in the stove? Stupid, if it weren't for Brother Tianling to protect you along the way, would you have survived until now? That's right, Brother Tianling. ”
Qiqi laughed at Han Fu, and at the same time leaned over to Tianling,
Tianling was very disgusted with this woman who changed her face faster than turning a book, so she went straight to the kitchen door and pushed the door, the door was locked, which was a little strange, the door was not locked, but such a small door was locked, which was a bit of a silver triple hundred taels here.
Picking up the iron knife and splitting the lock on the wooden door in three or two clicks, Tianling and the others pushed the door and walked in.
Inside was a gloomy hut with a few air-dried sausages hung, and in the corner were three large wooden barrels, which may have been used to hold grain, but now empty,
Shaking the empty barrel, Tianling faintly smelled a smell of blood, took the torch handed by Guofu, Tianling carefully inspected the entire kitchen, and found a cellar door under the three large wooden barrels,
The door was made of iron, and the hinges that had been used to open and close the iron plates had rusted and lost their functions, and several people worked together to push the iron plates open, and a bloody breath that was so thick that it was almost viscous rushed up.
This should be the place.
Several people went down the ladder to the cellar and lit the torches around them, and the dancing flames on the wall illuminated the outline of the cellar, and at a glance, it left a deep impression on the hearts of the three of them, this is simply purgatory on earth!
In the middle of the cellar is a large meat grinder, Tianling held a torch and looked along the circular conveyor port with a diameter of about half a meter, there were strips of flesh and blood hanging on the shiny blades inside, and there was even an eyeball stuck in the corner of the machine!
On the left against the wall is a wooden table, the same style as the dining table on the first floor, on which is an uncovered iron box, densely packed with pulled nails and teeth, glued together by coagulated blood...
Next to the iron box were pliers, tweezers, and a pair of scissors, and under the table were thick piles of hair.
On the other side is a dripping pipe and a large pool of filth floating in it.
Seeing this scene, a thought inexplicably rose in Tianling's heart, it seems that the people here attach great importance to food hygiene...
"Who is it... Who's coming..."
An old and weak voice came from the corner, Tianling held a torch and shone it over, and an old and thin old man was tied to a wooden chair,
The old man's eyes were cloudy, his whole body was as thin as firewood and dying, as if he was the village chief, but he didn't expect the kind and rich village chief in the opening clip to become like this now!
But when they looked closely, awe rose in everyone's hearts, because the old village chief's face did not have a trace of purple, but was only a little pale.
The old man's vision was blurred, and after vaguely seeing three strangers in front of him, he smiled,
"You are adventurers from other places, and if you can enter this cellar, my son must be gone..."
As he spoke, the old man began to cry again,
"He's a good boy and keeps all the food for me... But he shouldn't have done anything to kill people for his life, and I didn't agree with him doing this, so he locked me up and committed atrocities in front of me, and I was so angry and blind that I was blind..."
The old man cried with snot and tears, and said with self-reproach:
"It's all me, it's all me who listened to the merchant's nonsense, blinded by the immediate interests, it was I who harmed the people in the town, I hurt them!"
The more the old man spoke, the more excited he became, and he couldn't stop coughing, Tianling was afraid that the old man would not be able to go directly to him in one breath, so he hurriedly stepped forward to pat him on the back, and took out an iron knife to untie the rope for the village chief.
The old man stopped Tianling's actions and shook his head,
"It's useless, I can't stand up for a long time, you found the purple orchid, it's not a medicinal herb, but a fairy grass that can dispel the dense fog, with it, you can leave the town,
In the stables on the west side of the town, there is a good horse, this horse is my son's playmate since childhood, and he has been raised by him with flesh and blood to make it stronger, you ride that horse, go..."
[Quest completed, reward one attribute point, one black star]
【Main Quest Update - Leaving the Town】
The three of them turned to leave,
"Wait,"
The old village chief looked at the meat grinder in front of him with cloudy eyes, and said weakly:
"Finally, please do me a favor..."
