Chapter Twenty-Six: The Black Stone Cave in Koike Town
There is a town 400 miles to the east of Kongsang Mountain, although the scale of the town is not large, but there are many people living there, and the popularity is strong, it is the closest town to the famous 'fierce mountain' of Kongsang Mountain.
At the entrance of the town, there is a stone monument with three words engraved on it---- Xiaochi Town.
Two young men with extraordinary manners walked slowly on the vast ancient road next to Xiaochi Town, and stopped in front of the stone monument at the entrance of the town, and the man in it said, "Xiaochi Town, this is it." ”
"Hmm."
The woman nodded slightly, looking gentle and obedient, and followed the man towards the town.
These two people were Qi Fang and Su Quan who came from Kongsang Mountain.
At this time, it had been a year since they had killed the Black Water Snake, and in the course of this year, they had already divided and eaten the Black Water Snake, and after absorbing a huge amount of energy essence, the cultivation of the three of them had made a lot of progress.
A few days ago, they received information from the disciples of the Blood Refining Hall that there was a 'demon disaster' in Koike Town. There are fox demons that haunt the vicinity of the town, causing harm to domestic animals and injuring the people.
So, Qi Fang and Su Quan came to this town in person.
As soon as they came to the town, they saw thirty or forty sturdy peasants coming out of the town in a menacing manner, and these people were holding scythes, hoes, nails, palladium, iron picks, wood knives, and other farm tools, as if they were going to fight.
An old man in his sixties and seventies walked in the middle of the group, seemingly their leader.
"May I ask this uncle, what are you doing here?" Qi Fang stopped the old man and asked.
"Childe doesn't know, there is a monster in our town recently, which is causing harm to domestic animals, and we are planning to drive that monster away. If there's nothing wrong with the two of you, let's leave quickly. "The old man is the mayor of Xiaochi Town, he saw that Qi Fang was brightly dressed and had an extraordinary bearing, so he didn't dare to slack off, and he persuaded with good words.
"That's really a coincidence, we are cultivators, and we are the best at subduing demons and eliminating demons, since we have encountered this kind of thing, we naturally can't stand idly by, so let's go with you." Qi Fang said.
"This ......" The mayor looked at their thin skin and tender meat, and was really a little hard to believe, and said hesitantly: "That monster can eat people, and this matter must not be joked." ”
"Ha, we will never joke with our own lives, if the uncle doesn't believe it, I'll show you a hand." Qi Fang chuckled, glanced left and right, and saw a stone mill on the threshing floor next to him, so he walked over, copied it with one hand, and easily held the two-ton stone mill in his hand, as if holding a bag of cotton.
Then he threw it casually, and the stone grinder flew five zhang away with a "whoosh", and smashed down the wall by the threshing floor with a "boom".
The mayor's eyes and the villagers all widened, and their mouths almost closed.
"What do you think, uncle, is he qualified to get rid of the demon with you?" Qi Fang said.
"Childe is really a master, and Childe is willing to help, that's really good." The mayor said hurriedly.
Qi Fang and the two followed the mayor to the black forest outside the town, and on the way, the mayor also told the origin of the monster.
"Half a month ago, out of nowhere came a monster to live in the black stone cave in the north, in just half a month, has taken away more than 20 families raised cattle, sheep and livestock, last night there was a leg of the West Village Wang Laoshi to scratch and break, Wang Laoshi is the pillar of the Wang family, in the broken leg now, the orphans of the Wang family do not know how to live...... We discussed that we couldn't let this monster continue, so the old man gathered the people from the town to go over and see if we could kill it, and even if we couldn't kill it, we could drive it away......"
……
In a short time, they had come to the Black Forest.
The black forest does not look very large, but the vegetation inside is very lush, and there is a small hill above the clearing in the forest, and on one side of the hill, there is a hole, and the rocks next to the hole are all black.
"Mayor Mare, what are you going to do with this monster?" Qi Fang asked.
"We were going to get some firewood to plug the entrance of the cave, and then use smoke to smoke it and get that fox demon out." Mayor Towns.
"The mayor's method is good, but I don't know if there is only one exit from the Black Stone Cave, if there is an exit in other places, I am afraid that the smoke will come out from other places before it goes down." Qi Fangdao.
"We are all ordinary people who have grown up here for generations, how do we know what the art of eliminating demons, but we are good at farming. How to deal with that monster, it is still Brother Qi who has the final say. The mayor said.
"In that case, then listen to me, leave it to us here, the mayor will take the villagers back first, we promise that there will be no demons out to make trouble in the future." Qi Fang assured.
"This ...... Okay, just listen to Brother Qi. The mayor said, thanked him a few more words, and led the people back to the town.
After sending the mayor and the people away, Qi Fang and Su Quan went straight into the Black Stone Cave.
The situation in the Black Stone Cave is similar to that of the Ten Thousand Bat Ancient Cave, except that there are no vampire bats, they all extend diagonally downward, the cave is pitch black, and the five fingers are not visible when you reach out, and at the same time, the yin qi is fluttering, which makes people sweat and hair.
Qi Fang and Su Quanyi were bold, their steps were fast, and they had already reached the bottom of the cave in a short time, and a cliff suddenly appeared in front of them, which was very similar to the situation in the Ten Thousand Bat Ancient Cave.
It's just that the cliff in front of him is far from the Necromantic Abyss, and it is more than a hundred times smaller in space alone.
The two of them stood on the edge of the cliff and looked down, only to see that it was pitch black under the cliff, but in the depths of the darkness, there seemed to be a few ghostly things flickering non-stop.
Although they didn't see anything in their sight, the two of them did not hesitate in the slightest, and jumped down, falling straight down like stones, and the sound of the rushing wind whistled past their ears, and the speed of descent became faster and faster.
Perhaps because he had adapted to the dark environment, Qi Fang could already vaguely see the situation around him.
The place where they are is like a huge well cave, surrounded by steep rock walls, straight up and down, there are many large and small stone caves on the cliffs, and the stone caves are flashing with faint eyes, all of which are strange beasts, with strange appearances, and the image of ordinary beasts is very different.
"Be careful!"
In the midst of the sweeping wind, Qi Fang suddenly heard some unusual sounds, as if something was sticking out from underneath and approaching them quickly.
After a light snort, Qi Fang took out the Qingsong sword, and the sword body lit up with a faint light, illuminating this pitch-black space.
Under the reflection of the light, a huge tentacle could be vaguely seen sticking out from the bottom of the black hole, grabbing Qi Fang and Su Quan.
"Chop."
With a swing of the long sword, the cyan light flashed away, severing the tentacles that came in.
There was a strange roar from the depths of the dark well, and the tentacle that reached out quickly retracted as if it had been electrocuted.
The next moment, the sound of a whooshing wind sounded, and more tentacles stretched out from the dark space.
