Chapter 690 - The Nightmare Returns
The village chief didn't believe it at first, but he saw with his own eyes that the serpent would obey the wizard's command.
As long as the wizard played different melodies with his flute, the serpent would make a variety of different movements.
The village chief became convinced of the witch, and finally obeyed the witch and chose a maiden to sacrifice to the serpent every week.
The serpent would swallow the maiden in front of the villagers every time and leave the village.
At first, a small number of people objected, but later, when the number of young girls killed reached a dozen, more and more people protested, and even staged a popular uprising, saying that they would overthrow the village chief.
But the village chief actually used force to suppress it, which made the whole village very unpeaceful.
One day, a plague raged in the village.
Thousands of people have been infected with an unknown virus, and the sick are so weak that they can't work, so they are confined to their homes, and many crops die because they can't be harvested in time. The village is facing a severe food crisis, and at this time, the witch said that as long as he offered three maidens to the serpent to increase his spiritual power, it would remove the plague from the village.
With the mentality of giving it a try, the village chief forcibly selected three girls and dedicated them to the big snake.
After swallowing the girl, the serpent left the village as usual.
Miraculously, the next day, the patients in the village began to recover, and within a few days, most of them were well.
After that day, not only the village chief, but also more and more villagers began to believe in the big snake, which they believed was the god who blessed everyone's peace. And that wizard, because of his vast powers, has become the great protector of the village, and he is in a high position.
As time passed, the minds of the villagers also became more entrenched.
Later, that is, before Jiang Feng arrived in the crypt world, Bai Shuilan, Liushui, and Lias got lost in the Eurasian Desert, and finally broke into the sinkhole by mistake.
Bai Shuilan was a captive of Lias and Liushui at the time, and he still had the energy crystal blackiron handcuffs in his hands. These handcuffs limit Aqua Blue's abilities, as well as her strength.
After falling into the sinkhole, the three of them found that there was a cave here, and they first solved the water source problem and killed some animals to fill their stomachs.
In an unexpected situation, the three of them encountered a large gray snake more than ten meters long chasing a girl about 10 years old. Liushui felt that the girl in the crypt was of unknown origin, so he should not go over to prevent fraud. But Bai Shuilan rushed desperately and kicked back the big gray snake with his legs.
Originally, with the power of Bai Shui Blue, this kick was definitely a must-kill. However, because the strength was greatly weakened, this kick only caused a slight injury to the Great Gray Snake.
After stabilizing its body, the big gray snake opened its huge mouth and rushed towards Bai Shui Lan.
With Bai Shuilan's current defense, she couldn't defend against the sharp fangs at all, but she was still in front of the little girl.
At the last moment, Lias appeared in time and slashed the big gray snake with a sword.
The Great Grey Snake's blood splattered out and onto Lias's arm.
Lias looked disgusted, and wiped the blood off her sleeve.
Liushui looked at Bai Shuilan helplessly: "Don't you want to die?" ”
"I can't die for a little girl, can I?"
"Or did you already know we'd do it, right?" Liushui asked rhetorically.
Bai Shuilan didn't answer, and turned his head to one side.
Although the contact time is not very long, Liushui has already understood that Bai Shuilan is extremely intelligent. She had escaped under extremely unlikely circumstances, and if it hadn't been for Liushui's timely use of illusion to trap Bai Shuilan, I'm afraid she would have already escaped.
In order to control Bai Shui Lan, Liu Shui took out the Mixed Ice Gem handcuffs. You must know that this kind of handcuffs are very precious, and you are really reluctant to use them unless you have to.
After rescuing the little girl, Liushui began to interrogate the little girl.
The little girl was a little frightened, and trembled to answer. Bai Shuilan touched the little girl's cheek and said with a smile: "It's okay, you say it slowly, they won't hurt you." ”
Lias was slightly unhappy in his heart: this white water blue is obviously just a captive, but it looks like a leader. However, Bai Shuilan's guess was not wrong, Lias and Liushui were indeed not bad enough to hurt a little girl.
In this way, the little girl trayed out all the things she knew.
Liushui said that he was not interested in this crypt world, he just wanted to get some water and food, and it would be better if he could have some means of transportation, and he hoped to leave the Eurasian Desert as soon as possible and go to the European continent.
The little girl said that the crypt world is a very secret world, and outsiders are not usually welcome. But Liushui was a lifesaver, so the little girl still took them to the village.
When the three of Liushui first arrived in the village, all the villagers cast strange glances.
After the news spread, the Great Protector secretly suggested that the village chief assassinate Liushui and the others, believing that the crypt world should not be known to outsiders.
But the village chief felt that Liushui and the others saved the villagers and should not be bad people, so he rejected the suggestion of the Great Protector.
The village chief personally received the three of Liushui, and also planned to arrange for the three to stay.
However, Liushui directly refused, he only hoped that the villagers would give him a few pots of water and some food.
The village chief ordered people to prepare a lot of dry food for Liushui and the others, as well as several bottles of water.
At the time of parting, the village chief said to Liushui and the others: "If you like us here, we welcome you to come." However, I hope that you will not tell the outside world that our existence and our peace and stability have not come easily. ”
Liushui smiled: "Haha, although your crypt world is good, it is still far worse than the outside world. You don't have to worry that someone will come to occupy your place, to be honest, I really don't like it. ”
Liushui's words are not good, but the village chief is still satisfied, at least the peace here will not be broken.
"That's for the best, thank you for keeping it a secret for us." The village chief smiled and thanked him.
"Village Chief, we should be thanking you." Lias laughed.
"Alright, without further ado, we want to get out of here, is there any other way to get out of here besides that foggy sinkhole?"
"Of course, we have developed other trails, although they have detoured a little, but they are more labor-saving, you can directly leave the desert area and lead to the Gobi Rock Belt, I can ask two people to lead the way for you."
"That's a lot of work."
In this way, the village chief sent two people to escort Liushui and the three people away.
On the way back, Lias suddenly felt an itch in his arm and a little headache.
Liushui took a closer look at Lias and found strange blisters on her body, especially the skin on her arms, which were particularly noticeable.
Lias grabbed it with his hand, and the blisters burst, and blood-red juice flowed out.
"Wow, it hurts." Lias felt pain.
"You may be poisoned, hurry up and use your strength to protect your body, and you can also enhance your immunity." Liushui shouted.
"I ...... I don't think I can do it. Lias frowned.
"How so?"
At this time, the expressions of the two villagers suddenly became wrong, and they said nervously, "This ...... Isn't this the plague that once ravaged the village? ”
"Plague? Why is there a plague? Liushui shouted.
"No one knows why."
"Is there a cure for that?"
"I ...... We don't know, but the great protector of the village probably does. Once, it was he who communicated with the serpent to drive away all the plagues. ”
"Take us back to the village immediately to find the Great Protector."
"But...... But ......"
"But what?"
"She's sick now, and if you bring her back to the village, you could infect other people."
"Isn't there a way to treat that great protector, what is there to be afraid of." Liushui shouted.
"Good...... All right. ”
In this way, the villagers brought Liushui and them back to the village.
Upon arriving in the village, Lias was admitted to the hospital. The doctor examined Lias in detail and found some unknown virus in her body.
The doctors invited the Great Protector to check it out, and the Great Protector was surprised to see the symptoms, but he said that the virus was not the same virus that had caused the plague. But just in case, it's best to isolate Lias first.
Liushui was extremely angry, and he grabbed the collar of the Great Dharma Protector and shouted, "We have only been infected with this strange virus when we arrived here, and you must find a way to cure it." If something happens to Lias, believe it or not, I've ruined your entire village. ”
Liushui's expression was terrifying, and there was a strong threat in his words.
The Great Dharma Protector said nervously, "We will do our best." ”
After that, the doctors at the hospital gathered to discuss how to remove the virus from Lias's body. And the great protector from before suddenly disappeared.
Lias's illness was not cured, and something even more terrible happened. All the doctors who came into contact with Lias were infected with the virus, and the transmission route was breathing. But those doctors didn't know they were infected, so they infected other doctors, and doctors infected other patients, and patients infected their families.
In just one day, 80% of the villagers were infected with the virus.
Even Bai Shuilan was infected with the virus, and her hands were blistered.
However, Liushui seems to be fine, because Liushui is more vigilant, he has maintained a strength of more than 100 since he entered this crypt world, and his strength's body protection ability has successfully blocked the virus for him.
Although Liushui was fine, he was already anxious, and he couldn't do anything in the face of Lias and Bai Shuilan's illness.
But the village had already exploded, and the people were terrified and terrified. Because this time the plague was more serious than the previous one, and the course of the disease was very fast and urgent, from infection to onset, it only took about an hour. What is even more terrifying is that the mortality rate of the last plague was only 10%, but this time the mortality rate is much higher than the last one. In just a few days, thousands of infected people have died.
This plague is undoubtedly a catastrophe for the village.
The desperate villagers asked the Great Protector to save everyone, and the Great Protector said that Liushui and the others were the source of evil, and that the Great Snake would save everyone only by sacrificing the three of Liushui to the Great Snake.
In this way, the warriors of the village, the village chief, and the Great Protector attacked Liushui.
Liushui didn't expect that this small broken village would have such a strong warrior, and the strength of the village chief was as high as 200, which was not lost to himself at all.
Liushui couldn't defeat it, so he had to use illusions. But who would have thought that the Great Protector could also use illusions, and the effectiveness of illusions was not lost to Liushui at all.
In the end, Liushui failed miserably and was forcibly infected with the virus.
