Chapter 3 Xipo Ridge

Xipoling is located ten miles west of the White Bone City.

The mountains and rivers on the ridge are beautiful, the fields are thousands of acres, and there are several villages, which are one of the few places near the White Bone City to produce grain.

But just a month ago, a lot of humanoid monsters with pumpkin heads and glowing eyes suddenly appeared here.

They come out at night and attack nearby villages.

So far, people in several villages have been attacked and killed.

So the village chiefs of several villages on the West Slope Ridge jointly issued a mission, seeking warriors to come and destroy these pumpkin monsters.

However, a month has passed, and many warriors have come to get rid of the monster in order to reward them.

Not only did the pumpkin monster not get rid of it, but he gave his life in vain.

After a few times, there were fewer and fewer warriors who came to admire it.

The pumpkin monster is getting more and more arrogant.

It used to be only at night, but now there are a few of them during the day.

This can make the chiefs of several villages on the western slope ridge worried.

It's June, and it's time to work in the fields.

If this continues, it is estimated that thousands of acres of fields on the Xipo Ridge will be swallowed up by weeds.

At that time, the people of the entire Xipoling, as well as the White Bone City, will face a food shortage.

Alas!

In a village on Xipoling, several village chiefs gathered in a house, their faces full of sorrow, sighing to each other.

Hengliu, are there any warriors from the rivers and lakes coming today?

An old man with a pockmarked face looked up and asked a strong man with eyes like copper bells guarding the door.

"No," the strong man shook his head helplessly.

This is the thirteenth time Uncle Tang has asked him.

You know, this month, more than 30 warriors who came to get rid of the monster have all died at the hands of the pumpkin monster.

The people who are about to catch up on the West Slope Ridge have died a lot.

Who dares to come now, several village chiefs jointly released the reward "meteorite" of the task, which is expensive.

But that's also the life to get.

Besides, those pumpkin monsters are not something that ordinary charlatan warriors can deal with at all.

This month, it is not that there are no powerful warriors and warriors to come, but after facing those pumpkin monsters, they still end up with no bones.

Because those pumpkin monsters can not only heal their wounds on their own, but also ordinary sword weapons can't hurt them.

Unless they are transcendent, with extraordinary power to corrode their healing powers.

Otherwise, no matter how many ordinary people or warriors there are, they will not be able to destroy them.

So it's been seven or eight days in a row recently, and I haven't seen any warriors come to get rid of the monster.

Alas......

Hearing that no warriors from the rivers and lakes came to get rid of the monsters, the few village chiefs sitting at the table sighed again.

If this continues, they will have to consider moving the village.

After all, talent is the greatest asset.

"Someone's coming, someone's coming, there's someone coming to Bone City. ”

Just when the faces of several village chiefs showed loss.

I heard a voice coming from outside the house, and after a while I came to the door, and then the sound of the door opening sounded.

Then a boy about twelve or thirteen years old ran in panting.

"Stone, what's going on?"

Seeing the teenagers who pushed the door in, one of them, the village chief with a goatee, got up and asked.

"Bone City, come...... There are three fast catchers, who are here to get rid of the monster. ”

"Now, it's ...... I'm coming here. ”

"What?"

"Capture Bone City!"

Hearing the young man say that there were three catchers in White Bone City, several village chiefs were stunned at first, and then their faces were full of doubts.

The catch of Bone City is fast, this is no joke.

As far as they knew, there were only two people left in the Yamen of Bone City who were waiting to die.

And it's still an ordinary person, not to mention those ferocious pumpkin monsters, even Yokoroku can beat him down with one hand.

So after listening to the boy's words, a sense of absurdity rose in their hearts.

It's not to get rid of the blame, it's to block them.

So several village chiefs hurriedly got up and walked out, thinking in their hearts, and quickly persuaded the three people to go back.

......

Since Lige entered Xipo Ridge, his eyebrows began to wrinkle.

He smelled a corpse gas, a heavy corpse smell.

He now had a very bad guess that the pumpkin monsters might have been resurrected by the cursed dead.

If that's the case, then things are a little tricky.

Because according to the description on the case, there are fifty or sixty pumpkin monsters that appeared in Xipo Ridge.

And all of them are infinitely powerful, and they can also spew out a kind of green flame that ignites when they are touched from their mouths.

Then he alone can't get rid of so many pumpkin monsters.

I can't even get rid of it, if I am besieged, my own life will be in danger.

So after entering Xipoling, he, Zhuo Yi, and Da Yuan asked a few people who were walking on the street carefully.

I went straight to a house on Xipo Ridge where several village chiefs often gathered.

The table looked at Lige walking in front of him, and then looked at the red fire crossbow in his hand, and felt inexplicably steady.

In the past ten days, he and Da Yuan have grown up for the first time and felt that life was so beautiful.

The originally thin bodies of the two gradually plumped up.

When the body is strong, the courage also increases.

In the morning, when Brother Li said that he would go to Xipoling to get rid of monsters, he and Dayuan were not afraid.

Instead, he nodded happily, especially Da Yuan, with a touch of excitement on his face.

Only then did he realize that more than ten days could really make a difference.

Thinking of this, the corners of Zhuo Yi's mouth couldn't help but show a smile.

As for the pumpkin monster, I believe that with the strength of Lige, as well as the red fire hand crossbow in the hands of him and Dayuan, it should not be difficult to deal with.

Speaking of the Red Fire Hand Crossbow, he had always heard about this thing before, and had never seen it.

Who wanted to leave the eldest brother on the second day of coming to White Bone City, he gave him and Da Yuan a hand, and told him to practice hard.

So in the past ten days, he and Da Yuan have begun to get up early and practice in the dark, and now they can shoot copper coins from dozens of meters away.

This is probably the reason why he and Da Yuan have become bolder.

......

Heng Liuyi took the lead and walked in front of several village chiefs.

Looking at the three catchers of the White Bone City coming from a distance, their brows couldn't help frowning.

Because there are two catchers he knows, Zhuo Yi and Dayuan, two catchers who eat and wait for death in the White Bone City.

As far as he can remember, these two men have never handled any cases.

Originally, he thought that the city lord had recruited a new catcher, otherwise he would report the case of the pumpkin monster of the white bones.

Why didn't anyone send anyone here for a month, it was because I knew that the two people in the yamen were just eating and waiting for death.

It's just that he wants to figure it out, how dare these two guys who are eating and waiting for death to come to Xipoling.

Of course, he also saw the departure song walking in front of the two.

It's just that I didn't find anything special, and I only looked a few years older than Zhuo Yi and Dayuan.

"Could it be that the newly recruited martial arts master of the Yamen of the White Bone City?"

Yokoroku couldn't help but think in his heart.
