Chapter 5: The Hourglass of Time 5
Su Ziyu's weapon was taken away very early.
So he could only hold the hardwood sword for training, and it was a mess outside, with many people holding swords, and he also heard the sound of bows and crossbows firing from the watchtower, and the light of the torches could not shine too far, and he could only faintly see a black shadow rushing out of the trap set during the day, and there seemed to be a man who had fallen to the ground next to him without moving. The shadow was not very large, but it was quite fast, and there were some arrows stuck in its body, but it didn't seem to affect its movement, it rushed out and the crowd surrounded it, and soon there were several screams.
"What the hell?" Su Ziyu clenched the wooden sword a little nervously.
The black shadow seemed to be a humanoid creature, about one meter and a half tall, with a rickety body on all fours, moving very fast, a speed of 100 meters may be three or four seconds, and it is not clear at all under the cover of the night. It seemed to be a little afraid of fire, and was driven by the crowd to run towards the dark place on Su Ziyu's side, Su Ziyu was ready to retreat without thinking about it, this monster ghost knows what it is, the speed is too fast, it looks very dangerous, he follows his heart and prepares to slip away.
But.
What Su Ziyu never expected was that in this black-lit environment, I don't know which bastard suddenly pushed him from behind, and then he was exposed to the monster's escape route.
Yikes!
Which bastard is plotting against himself?!
Everything happened so fast. Su Ziyu didn't have time to find the person who pushed him behind his back, the hideous and ugly monster was already about to pounce in front of him, it looked like a one-eyed ghost-faced ape, its pupils were cloudy yellow-brown, the one-eyed on its forehead had a circle of dark red blood vessels, and its body exuded a fishy smell of disgusting, the jet-black claws seemed to be quite sharp, the agility of this monster was quite terrifying, and the moment it flew over, it waved its jet-black claws and attacked Su Ziyu's face, If I was caught this time, I am afraid that my whole face will be scratched, and the person who was attacked in front of me was almost disemboweled by the sharp claws of this monster.
Can't hide!
Su Ziyu realized this in an instant, because the speed of this monster was too fast.
But at this moment, the passage of time seems to have slowed down, the people around him have almost become stationary, and the monster has also become a slow motion frame by frame, Su Ziyu picked up the wooden sword and slammed it upwards with all his might, and then he pounced on the right side.
Woohoo.
The monster was picked off a little and flew straight over his head, and the monster's sharp claws quickly climbed along the wall to the roof, and then jumped into the darkness and never saw it again. Those with torches only rushed over at this time, Su Ziyu leaned against the wall with a palpitating face, panting, his face gloomy swept through the crowd, and soon his eyes fell on the man named Roth.
He suspected that the person who had just pushed him was this bastard!
But it's a pity that the other party's acting skills are good, and before Su Ziyu can determine whether it is him, he will take someone to chase the monster. There were some dark red blood stains on the ground, which should have been left by the monster, and its back was shot several times by a crossbow, and it should have been injured a lot. Now that the whole village is in chaos, Su Ziyu saw Linna who was helping Ken not far away, the monster was too fast, and Ken seemed to be a little injured. Farther away, the corpse of a villager, its chest already a blur of flesh and blood, as if it had been dug open by something, and scattered with disgusting scarlet entrails.
Ken's eyes fell on Su Ziyu's body, just now Su Ziyu dodged the attack of the ghost-faced monkey and happened to be in his eyes, what happened at that moment was too fast, he didn't understand why Su Ziyu was able to dodge, but he could feel that at that moment, this stranger burst out with quite an amazing speed. Maybe in Su Ziyu's eyes, everything around him seemed to slow down at that moment, but in fact, in the eyes of others, it wasn't the case, but he became faster at that moment.
"And then." Ken hesitated and threw the black blade around his waist.
Although Su Ziyu couldn't understand his words, he still reached out and took the black short blade, which was the weapon of the snake leader and was later taken away by Ken. If he hadn't been holding this black short blade instead of a wooden sword in his hand just now, I'm afraid that one blow would have disemboweled the ape monster with a hideous grimace.
There's something odd about this outlander.
But the most important thing now is to eliminate the ghost-faced monkey, this monster has a rather ferocious personality, and if it is not killed, it will soon come back and take revenge like crazy.
"Take him with you."
"Gotta kill that monster. Otherwise, everyone is not safe. It was shot by Polk and couldn't get far. Ken said to Lina next to him, and then he gathered some people and told them to follow Lina.
Although Su Ziyu couldn't understand their words, he guessed a little bit of what they meant.
They're going to kill the monster.
Ken gave him back the weapon, hoping that he would help.
Su Ziyu doesn't like to owe favors to others, and Linna saved his life anyway, so he didn't hesitate to take his weapon and follow. Although that monster looks scary, Su Ziyu has already been reborn during this time, and it is estimated that he will be scared half to death when he sees this kind of monster before, but now he is just scared at most.
He really got bolder.
One sentence - "Life and death are downplayed, and if you don't accept it, you will do it." ”
Lena took out a black shortbow from the room, then put two daggers at her waist, and a sharp dagger in her hand, and more than a dozen hunters with weapons followed her, lit torches and led the hounds to chase out along the trail of blood. Su Ziyu also followed the team, almost no one spoke along the way, and outside the village he saw Roth with three people waiting for them, this guy didn't seem to lead anyone to catch up. There were blood stains spilled along the way, and more than 20 people were sent from the village to chase them directly into the forest along the bloodstains.
The monster was also not lightly injured, and the traces of its escape could be seen along the way.
However, it was not convenient for so many people to move in the forest, and after only an hour or two of chasing them, all the torches were extinguished, and they could only rely on a few hunting dogs to lead the way, but fortunately, when they chased near a mountain, they finally saw the figure of the monster.
It dragged its mottled bloodstains into a cave.
Before Su Ziyu could speak, the young man named Lot took the lead and followed, and the others rekindled two torches with flint and followed in a swarm.
"Are you all so reckless?"
"Aren't you afraid that there are monsters inside?"
Suziyu followed Lina into the cave, which was very dark and damp, with a rotten and fishy smell. The cave became more and more spacious as it went, and when Su Ziyu and Lina caught up with the people in front of them, they happened to see Lot pull his long sword out of the ghost-faced monkey's chest, he glanced at Su Ziyu slightly defiantly, and then cut off the ghost-faced monkey's head with a swing of his sword.
What's so arrogant about making up a knife? Or are you intimidating me? Su Ziyu's eyes narrowed slightly.
"Finally killed this monster!" A one-eyed man whispered to Lina.
Although Su Ziyu couldn't understand what they said, he also breathed a sigh of relief.
He looked around by the light of the torch, as if he saw something in the corner, and couldn't help but feel numb and reached out to pat Lina next to him, pointing in that direction and saying, "What the hell is that!" ”
Lina didn't understand him, but she subconsciously took a torch and shone it.
There was a sound of gasping air.
In the right corner of the cave were piled up human bones, and some scattered fur goods, the most striking was a rudimentary altar made of stone, on which were placed several hideous heads, and some solidified black internal organs, and in the center was a strange one-eyed statue of an evil god with three hideous faces on its head, which looked like some kind of ape, and the one-eyed in the center of the forehead seemed to be alive, not at all carved out of stone, It's like eyeballs gouged out of some creature.
"It's the people of the caravan. They were all killed by this monster. Someone said with a solemn face.
There was a jumbled voice all around.
But Su Ziyu couldn't help but be stunned in place, the more he looked at the statue of the evil god, the more he felt that his scalp was numb, and even a little palpitation, to use a metaphor, the SAN value kept falling. But he had an urge to touch it again, and the golden hourglass in the space of consciousness seemed to have changed, guiding him to look for something on the strange statue. In the eyes of others, his face turned slightly blue at the moment, probably stunned by the terrifying picture in front of him, Lina also reached out and shook his palm, and then when Su Ziyu came back to his senses, he found that these aborigines were really bold, and they were carrying the cargo fur out of those corpses.
Are these people really ordinary Orion villagers?
Or is it that the people of this era are so strong? Seeing so many corpses, even the face did not change for a moment?
Su Ziyu even saw the one-eyed man kick his half-rotten head to the side, and then reached out and took out a money bag from the stinking and rotten bloodstained clothes, his expression was actually a little happy.
