Chapter 8: Heavenly Merit Throne!
Soon everyone had breakfast, and Captain Zhang arranged tasks for them. After the arrangement, everyone set off together.
Wu Ji followed Captain Zhang, walked out of the north gate of the village, and walked all the way forward, feeling quite excited.
I have been in this world for fifteen years, and I have never been out of the village except when I was cutting wheat, I went to the wheat field and played by the Qingzhu River!
The vast world outside, the legendary demon beasts, can finally go and see it!
Outside the north gate of the village, there was a large field of wheat, which had already begun to set head.
Walking through the wheat field, there is an endless meadow. The forest is scarce, the grass is lush, the terrain is undulating, the west is high and the east is low, and it should be regarded as a hilly landform.
The Qingzhu River is not far ahead, turning eastward, and I don't know where it flows.
Captain Zhang took Wu Ji and more than a dozen hunting team members to cross an old wooden bridge over the Qingzhu River and head east.
The sky is high and the earth is far away, the grass and trees are fragrant, the breeze is blowing, and the mind is refreshing.
Wu Ji was in a happy mood, and as he walked, he pestered Captain Zhang to ask for something.
Captain Zhang originally had the responsibility of bringing newcomers, so he also answered happily.
Wu Ji asked: "Captain, I only know that our Xiaohe Village belongs to Quanhe Town, but I don't know which country it belongs to?"
Captain Zhang smiled: "What kind of country. Our Xiaohe Village belongs to Quanhe Town, and then it belongs to Honghu County, and I only know that it belongs to Jinguang Hou. It is also the golden light marquis that blocks the real demon clan, so that we can live in peace. As for whether there is a bigger city than Honghu County in the place where Jin Guanghou is in charge, I don't know. ”
Wu Ji said unbelievably: "It belongs to the Jinguang Marquis? But this Jinguang Marquis is always sealed by others, such as the king's seal, or the emperor's seal." Anyway, there has to be a country, right?"
Captain Zhang laughed and said, "Why do you think so? Who told you that the Hou Ye was sealed by someone else? Return to the king, the emperor, why haven't I heard of it?"
Wu Ji was even more surprised: "Didn't someone else seal it?"
Captain Zhang said: "Naturally, it is a throne descended from heaven!"
"Heavenly Throne?!"
"Yes. If a person goes to kill demons, then the heavens will send down merits. It is said that when the Marquis of Jinguang was enthroned, auspicious clouds descended from the sky, purple qi came from the east, the fragrance wafted for hundreds of miles, and the sound of the dragon's chant shook the world. ”
Wu Ji was dumbfounded when he heard this!
Is the world so crazy?
The sky descends to the throne, and the purple air comes from the east, the strange fragrance wafts, and the dragon chants endlessly, I drop my God! It's unimaginable!
Wu Ji had a half-reminiscence, and it wasn't until Captain Zhang climbed to the top of a small hill and observed his surroundings that he came to his senses.
Captain Zhang climbed to the top to see the environment, mainly to chase a group of zebras.
Yesterday, Vice Captain Han Haojie and a group of hunting team members encountered a group of zebras, so they stepped forward to hunt. Several demon beasts appeared in the zebra herd, and Vice Captain Han and the team members tried their best to kill the two demon beasts.
However, unfortunately, just after killing the demon beast, a team of horse thieves came from nowhere, wanting to snatch the corpse of the demon beast for food.
Vice Captain Han was naturally unwilling, and the two sides clashed. But I didn't expect the horse thief to be very powerful, and he easily seriously injured Vice Captain Han.
Fortunately, the horse thief just didn't target Captain Han and his party, and left in a hurry with only the corpse of the demon beast.
Captain Zhang thought that the horse thief just passed by the neighborhood when he was wandering and did not stop nearby, so he didn't care. When the task was assigned in the morning, it was still according to the daily situation, and the captain and several deputy captains each took a group of people to hunt in different places.
For example, Deputy Captain Han's team, because the leader of the team was seriously injured, was arranged to patrol near the village to prevent wild beasts and demon beasts from approaching the village.
And Captain Zhang and these people will continue to pursue the group of zebras, either kill all the monsters in the zebra herd, or drive the zebras far away.
This is done to prevent more and more zebra monsters from trampling on the wheat fields, impacting the village, and harming the villagers.
Captain Zhang is experienced and quickly determined the general direction of the zebra herd through some details.
So the crowd rushed forward, and finally between the two hills, they came across this group of zebras.
The crowd hid on the side of the hill and observed the herd of zebras.
There were about a hundred zebras in this herd, all with black and white stripes, narrow black ears, long beaks and thin legs. Among them, there are two zebras that are very special, almost twice to three times the size of ordinary zebras, and they should be monsters.
Captain Zhang had the heart to guide Wu Ji, and pointed to the two demon beasts and said, "Wu Ji, you can see clearly, those two big ones are demon beasts." Not only have they grown, their strength has increased, but they have mutated. First, their fur has become longer, their skin has become thicker, and their defenses have become stronger. Then, long fangs grew out of their mouths, and they began to eat meat, and their hooves became large and hard, and they were very powerful to step on. Also, have you noticed their tails? they have become so thick that they can smoke like a tiger's tail!"
It was the first time Wu Ji had seen zebra demon beasts, and he was a little shocked when he saw their huge bodies, just like thinner elephants.
Captain Zhang said again: "Ordinary zebras only need two or three ordinary people to subdue, and they are not worth mentioning to a martial artist." Later, we will go and besiege the demon beasts, and you will go and kill the ordinary zebras, and see the blood first. ”
Wu Ji nodded.
What Captain Zhang said is right, people who have never seen blood are prone to weak legs in life and death struggles, and they can't exert a few points of strength, so it is appropriate to find ordinary zebras to practice.
The plan was decided, and Captain Zhang took more than a dozen people to divide into two teams and rushed straight towards the two demon beasts.
The zebras were frightened and fled in all directions. However, the two demon beast zebras were very fierce, and after seeing people, not only did they not run away, but instead showed their sharp teeth and rushed over!
They want to eat people too!
Wu Ji did not rush forward.
An ordinary zebra was frightened and ran towards Wu Ji in a panic.
Wu Ji raised his spear and smiled: "It's you, cute little zebra, do you want to be steamed or braised here?"
