Chapter 8: The Plague of Innocence
Wei Siyuan left, and the dawn light streaked across the sky, leading to an unknown place. In this village, after he learned about the powerful, experienced two monster attacks, and watched a woman die helplessly in front of his eyes, he desperately longed for power, longing for himself to be able to protect himself and even others. He could feel the superiority of the powerful, and even though it had been less than a month since the cataclysm, he could still feel the contradiction between the capable and ordinary people. The disdain of the capable, the powerlessness and humility of ordinary people. After there were no ordinary people in this village, he couldn't find anyone who could speak as an equal, so he left, left here, and pursued his strength.
......
"Brother Kui, that Wei Siyuan left, do you want to kill him on the way? If you become a capable person in the future, it will definitely be one of our great enemies!" Cheng Yangu was a little worried and suggested to Brother Kui.
"This is a trouble! Dare not give me face in front of so many people! Cheng, let's go to this matter! Get ready, catch up and do him!" Brother Kui thought for a while and nodded.
"Let's go, why don't we let someone do it!" After a night of fighting and being exhausted, Cheng Yangu felt that seizing the time to rest was the most important thing at the moment. Besides, Wei Siyuan is just an ordinary person, and he doesn't have to bother to do it himself!
"Stupid! This kind of thing will only cause trouble for others to know! Besides, only by doing it yourself can we ensure that nothing goes wrong!"
"Okay!" Cheng Yangu listened to Brother Kui's words, and he also thought clearly about the consequences of not handling this matter well, and responded decisively.
The two chased all the way in the direction Wei Siyuan left, and near the woods two kilometers away from the village, they encountered a swarm of rats running wildly. The two were frightened by the oncoming swarm of rats, and used all their might, desperately erecting an earthen wall and waving fireballs to resist. But the rats ignored them at all, and even did not respond to their attacks, and went straight around the earthen wall they had erected, and just desperately fled from here, running in the opposite direction to the forest.
"Something is wrong! Brother Kui, this is not right, it looks like the giant rat swarm is hiding something!" Cheng Yangu shrank behind the earthen wall, looking at the torrent of rats running away from both sides of the earthen wall, swallowing saliva and saying with palpitations.
"Eighty percent of them are hiding from something!" Brother Kui was also frightened, "Not good! There are probably more powerful monsters in the back!"
Before Brother Kui could react, there was a commotion in the forest, groups of birds and monsters flew through the sky, and in front of the earthen wall, a large group of giant snakes five or six meters long, wolves taller than adults, and wild cattle and wild boars taller than one floor, all kinds of dense insect swarms that were not recognizable.
"It's over! This time it's over! We'll be trampled to death if we don't get eaten now!" Cheng Yangu screamed in a panic.
"Shut up! Hurry up and make the wall higher and thicker!" Brother Kui's roar interrupted Cheng Yangu's scream.
Cheng Yangu reacted, forcibly suppressed his panic, didn't care so much, and quickly pulled the earthen wall to a two-story high, more than a meter thick, and then beckoned Brother Kui to stand on the wall.
"Bang!" A bison like a tank slammed into the earthen wall, the earthen wall shook violently, and a large piece of soil fell, startling Kui Ge and Cheng Yangu, who were standing on the earthen wall, had their hearts beating. Fortunately, the earthen wall did not fall and is still standing there. Seeing that the earth wall was standing, the monster group decisively bypassed the earth wall and continued to run into the distance.
Brother Kui and Cheng Yangu looked at the group of monsters running around the wall on the earthen wall, and were glad that they had survived in the group of monsters. But before they could be happy, a tiger roar sounded, and a giant tiger with white eyes ran out of the forest. The giant tiger was stepping on its paws, constantly jumping and running, and Brother Kui could smell the fishy stench in the giant tiger's mouth from a distance, and he could clearly see the cold light flickering on the giant tiger's claws.
"It's really over this time!" Brother Kui closed his eyes and waited quietly for the arrival of the giant tiger.
"Whew" - a tiger roar resounded in Kui Ge's ears, Kui Ge felt that his eardrums were shattered, and he closed his eyes tightly, not daring to open his mouth to see the giant tiger's blood.
After waiting for a long time, Brother Kui felt that the giant tigers were far away, slowly opened his eyes, and looked around. "I... I wasn't eaten!" Kui Ge had a feeling of aftermath for the rest of his life.
"Kui... Brother Kui, we survived!" Cheng Yangu couldn't believe his dreamy experience, originally he was just like Brother Kui, ready to be eaten by the giant tiger.
"Brother, it's good to be alive!" Brother Kui sat on the earthen wall, lay down, ignoring the potholes of the earthen wall, looking at the sky, his tense heart completely relaxed.
"Brother Kui, what do you say is wrong with this monster? Is it because of that giant tiger? The tiger is indeed the king of beasts!" Cheng Yangu learned from Brother Kui, and also lay down, sighing in his mouth.
"Yes, the ...... of the Beasts"
"Boom" Before Brother Kui finished speaking, a series of fireballs fell from the sky, smashing a crimson monster from the sky. One of the fireballs smashed into the earthen wall, and the earthen wall was directly blown up, and Kui Ge and Cheng Yangu were buried by the remnants of the earthen wall.
"Hand over the treasure, or die!" an old man in a fiery red magic robe slowly descended from the sky. The old man was dressed very peacefully, with kind eyebrows and kind eyes, holding a magic wand that shimmered with mysterious light in his hand, and the breath around his body also fluctuated with the flickering light of the magic wand, standing there, like a deep sea, ebb and flow with his breathing.
"Roar-" The crimson monster shook its head and got up from the ground, its two open eyes staring at the old man, its mouth slightly open, and crimson saliva flowed out, dripping on the ground and making a "smack" sound. If Wei Si had a vision, he would definitely recognize that this monster looked the same as the monster standing in the black vortex that day, with two sharp horns, a body of crimson scales, and a slender neck. The difference is that this monster doesn't have the flames around it, and it doesn't speak like the monster.
"Roar-" The monster stared at it for a while, but soon became impatient, and pounced directly at the old man with its mouth wide open.
The breath around the old man moved, like a candlelight burning into a raging flame. I saw the old man muttering a spell quickly, and a giant with raging flames appeared in front of the old man following the guidance of the magic wand, blocking the monster's attack route.
With a flick of the monster's right claw, the flame giant was scratched by the monster's head. But the old man quickly distanced himself by the appearance of the flame giant, and then recited a lengthy and mysterious spell in his mouth, and with a wave of his magic staff, a translucent barrier quickly formed around it, and no matter how much the monster bit it, it could not be broken.
"I know you have the wit, hand over the treasure, or I'll send you back to hell!" the old man continued to persuade, it seemed that because the monster had a treasure on it, the old man would rather guard it, and he would not be far away from a complete break with the monster in front of him.
"Roarโ" After trying to break the barrier around the old man to no avail, the monster's eyes showed a cunning narrow light, and it suddenly turned around and fled into the distance.
The old man seemed to have expected this a long time ago, and began to chant the spell quickly as the monster turned around, and a flash of fire appeared out of thin air in the place where the monster had escaped a kilometer away, burning directly on the monster. The monster struggled violently in the fire, and slowly, the fire turned into a chain. The chains are fiery red, and the flames flowing through them can be clearly seen.
"Demon, my patience is limited, hand over the treasure, otherwise" Before the old man could finish speaking, the monster roared into the sky, and then its body quickly began to turn red, and its body quickly swelled - "bang", the monster exploded, leaving a huge crater in place, and the flesh and blood flew all over the surrounding area for several kilometers, and the old man was also blown away from the center.
"Ahem, ahem!" the old man used magic to clean the blood and flesh of the monster on his body, cursing the monster in his mouth and preparing to leave.
"Help... Save... Me!" The old man was keenly aware that someone was calling for help in the mound of earth a kilometer away from the huge pit, so he flew over directly, turned over the mound, and saw two people lying on the ground, one was already blurred with flesh and blood, and the other was still struggling, and the faint cry for help came from his mouth.
"Help... Save... Please, help... Help me!" Brother Kui begged with a wide open eye.
"Looks like an earthling!There's a bit of magical talent, so it should be useful to bring it back!" the old man muttered to himself. After a subdued spell, Kui Ge maintained a flat posture and rose into the air, only to see the magic wand wave, Kui Ge seemed to be tied by an invisible rope, and flew away with the old man......
