Chapter 162: Hospitality Aquatic Village
After thinking about it for a while, Lu Xiao decided to solve the eyesight of the snake eye first, otherwise he was likely to be found by the snake eye when he assassinated the miscellaneous soldiers.
Silently using the Buddha statue and the mountain wall to borrow, Lu Xiao quietly approached from the blind spot of the aerial line of sight that was difficult to observe with the snake's eyes.
Snake Eye's eyesight is very good, but her hearing is very average, no different from a normal person.
Due to relying too much on visual search, Snake Eyes' perception of danger is far inferior to that of ninjas who lick blood from their blades all day long.
As long as she dodged her frontal observation angle, the snake eyes were actually no different from miscellaneous soldiers in Lu Xiao's eyes.
"Hmm!"
A suppressed scream came from the mouth of the snake's eye who was roasting meat, her bright eyes suddenly widened, and the pierced heart made her struggle quickly weaken.
Confirming that Snake Eye was dead, Lu Xiao closed her dead eyes for her, and quietly dragged Snake Eye into the cave passage behind her to hide.
Solve the global monitor of Snake Eyes, and the next operation to clean up the Iron Cannon Crowd will be much smoother.
Lu Xiao used the Buddha statue and the grass hut built by the iron cannons to cover up, and assassinated the miscellaneous soldiers in this swamp cave one by one.
"That's it."
Kicking the last corpse into the poison swamp to degrade on its own, Lu Xiao continued to advance deeper into the cave through this stronghold of the iron artillery group.
Next door to the Iron Cannon Stronghold is also a wide, empty cave, but it is uninhabited.
Lu Xiao found a huge ape skeleton on the platform above the cave, thinking that this should be the place where the lion ape and its partner lived together.
The lion ape, which is an insect possession, has a very long lifespan, but its mate cannot live forever, and this is where the lion ape's wife is buried.
Walking through this huge cave, Lu Xiao once again returned to the outside world.
At this time, the afterglow of the setting sun had completely disappeared, the bright crescent moon and bright stars provided some light for people who traveled at night, and the large number of fireflies flying between the mountains and forests also added some light to Lu Xiao's path.
Walking through this pristine mountain forest, Lu Xiao did not relax for a moment, and the sense of threat that came from nowhere never left him.
Japanese onmyoji like to refer to the twilight and dawn hours as the time of the demons, and they believe that this time period is the moment when yin and yang meet, and most demons and monsters like to appear at this time.
But in reality, the night of ignorance is the best time to haunt the ghosts.
When Lu Xiao was walking through the mountains, he always felt that something was secretly watching him in the darkness nearby, but the Eagle Vision scanned it and found nothing.
Just like the seven-faced samurai before him.
This strange forest is filled with fog from nowhere, visibility is very low, and the rotten wood that connects the various platforms is very slippery under the fog, and one accidentally will fall into the deep pit below.
Lu Xiao cautiously stepped on the rotten wood forward, the ghostly roar from under the platform made him a little creepy, but he couldn't see anything when he looked closely.
Lu Xiao, who had cleared the wolf process, knew that the fog and ghosts here were just illusions arranged by someone, but the strong murderous aura coming from somewhere at the bottom of the valley was genuine.
'Headless?' ’
In the distant past, Gennomiya had a war with the Ashina country, and the leaderless people scattered all over the country were the heroes of the Ashina who lost their lives to protect the country in the war at that time.
No one knew why they had degenerated into leaderless people who killed people on sight, and Lu Xiao didn't plan to provoke these difficult headless undead monsters.
Avoiding the area filled with a headless murderous aura, Lu Xiao climbed all the way up the trees in the forest and came to the outside of a large thatched hut that was closed on all sides.
The sound of the flute could be heard very clearly in the large house, and a large number of translucent ghosts gathered around the house, kneeling and praying to the flutes inside.
Entering through the broken windows on the upper floor of the thatched house, Lu Xiao saw for the first time with his own eyes the mutated Silty Jiamei people from the Palace of Origin.
It was a red-clad nobleman with a very strange appearance as he knelt on the ground and played the flute.
His neck is several times longer than that of ordinary people, and his appearance is very different from that of normal people, his ugly appearance looks like he is half human and half fish, and there are strange body parts like fish tails dragging behind his buttocks.
This kind of fighting ability of the aristocracy is very weak, and it was once called the last conscience of Hidetaka Miyazaki, and Lu Xiao solved him casually after jumping off the beam.
As the flute of the nobles of Sijiamei disappeared, the fog and ghosts that shrouded the forest dissipated, and the path blocked by the mist of the illusion finally opened.
Lu Xiao originally wanted to check the corpse of this Sijia Beauty, but the dead Sijia Beauty quickly turned into water foam and dissipated automatically, if it wasn't for the real feeling of hitting the flesh when he killed him just now, Lu Xiao thought that he was hallucinating.
'What is the principle of this......
Unable to find a reason for an explanation, Lu Xiao could only temporarily put aside the things he couldn't figure out and move on.
Leaving the primeval forest at the bottom of the valley, Lu Xiao finally came to the outside of the hospitable aquatic village.
The villagers of Shuisheng Village did not look normal, their thin bodies were glazed, and they wandered aimlessly in and around the village.
Hiding in the grass, Lu Xiao tried to throw a stone at the small lake in the middle of the aquatic village.
"Wow~"
As the sound of falling water sounded, the villagers of Aquatic Village, who had been in a dormant state, immediately accelerated their movements, and one by one let out hoarse strange cries and gathered towards the small lake.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Lu Xiao bypassed the villagers and continued to go deeper, and the Stone of Settlement was stored in the secret cave in the depths of the Aquatic Village, which was also the only way to get to the Palace of Origin.
Lu Xiao retracted all his aura and moved forward lightly, most of his attention was on the group of villagers by the lake, and he needed to avoid their gaze at any time.
"Whoa!"
At this moment, there was a sudden sound of breaking ground under Lu Xiao's feet, and a withered arm grabbed Lu Xiao's calf and didn't let go.
'Gan! Forget about this stubble. ’
"Brush~"
Lu Xiao quickly threw out his Hidden Blade and cut off the salty pig's hand, but the noise caused by the arm when it broke the ground had already attracted the attention of the villagers.
"Ahhh
Hospitable villagers rushed towards Lu Xiao in droves, their rudimentary weapons such as kitchen knives and pitchforks already raised high.
Lu Xiao didn't expect that he would expose his whereabouts because of this nonsensical groping pig hand, and when he ran all the way to the depths of Shuisheng Village, he paid special attention to some raised dirt bags under his feet to avoid being caught again on the way to escape.
The inhabitants of the Aquatic Village have become inhuman and ghostly under the inducement of the fallen Silt and Beauty.
The nobles of the Nether Realm "generously" gave the unique liquor of the "capital" to the Shuisheng Village, and the local Yinyang-Dao priest distributed the liquor to the villagers to enjoy.
The villagers who drank the wine of the capital would become very thirsty, and they would run to the lake and gulp down the water that had been manipulated by the silted beauty, and gradually become delirious and only knew how to follow orders.
Lu Xiao killed at least a dozen villagers with various weapons on the way to escape from Shuisheng Village, but soon after he left, except for the villagers who had been killed by the undead slash, the others staggered to their feet from the ground.
'It's another kind of immortal, and what kind of aquatic village is it?' The one who attaches the worm, or does it become like water? ’
After escaping from the core of the village, Lu Xiao hid in the dense grass and waited for the villagers who could not find his whereabouts to return to their respective places.
In the process, Lu Xiao vaguely heard the sound of some kind of stringed instrument playing, which seemed to be a common shamisen in Japanese folk.
'Uh~ Is it ......'
The corners of Lu Xiao's mouth twitched slightly, and he remembered a certain existence known as the Sword Saint of Aquatic Village.
