Chapter 219: Water Snake
I left the tavern and walked west, through a wooded field, and after twenty minutes I saw some small houses scattered in front of me.
In the distance, the smell of blood came, and there was silence all around, and I walked briskly along the path, surrounded by three corpses, an aunt, and two eleven or twelve-year-old children.
I felt a pain in my heart, rushed to Xiao'e's house, the yard, was the corpse of a middle-aged couple, the shopkeeper said, Xiao'e lived with her parents, Xiao'e had an older brother, and he had an accident for the store before, so the shopkeeper asked the above to let Xiao'e be a waiter.
The two were killed, and a sword pierced their hearts.
Not only Xiao'e's family was killed, but all the thirteen houses around it, men, women, and children, including ......
A baby in swaddling clothes......
These people didn't die long. The murderer has long since run away.
I fell to the ground, angry, and vomited a mouthful of blood.
It's all because of me!
If it weren't for my nosy, this wouldn't have happened!
I don't kill Beren, but Beren dies because of me!
My heart was in great pain.
The stone demon's voice was very helpless, and said: "You can't be blamed for this matter, you can only blame the rules here, blame Liang Ye and others." ”
"Righteousness is a good thing. Seeing the helpless girl being bullied, it was natural for Lu to draw a knife to help. ”
"So many people died because of this incident, since this is the case, find out everyone behind Liang Ye and kill them all!"
"The weak eat the strong, kill to stop killing!"
"Otherwise, this thing. It will become your inner demon, make you feel painful, guilty, and have a great impact on your state of mind. ”
I couldn't vent the pain and anger in my heart, and I felt like I was trapped in a prison with no way out, and my heart was panicked.
In the outside world, the people of the evil sect also have their own principles, and the demon clan also has many good demons.
But here, there are no principles, no laws and rules, almost everyone becomes bloodthirsty, killing, and there is no bottom line!
Even if you are a righteous person, if you live in this environment, sooner or later you will change!
There is no ability to change the environment, only to adapt to the environment.
I don't have the power to change the environment, but I want to avenge these innocent people!
I will find out the king and his people and kill them all!
I dragged the corpses one by one, gathered them together, set a fire, and incinerated all the corpses.
The firelight illuminated my face, and I clenched my fists and screamed to the sky, "Don't worry, I won't let you die in vain!" ”
"I will definitely avenge you!!"
When I returned to the hotel, it was already two o'clock in the morning, and I only told Yi Tian about it.
After listening to this, Yi Tian was furious and silent for a long time, he had the same idea as me, to find out who was behind the scenes, and to avenge the dead.
I was lying on the bed, like a dead snake, and the images of Xiao'e's tragic death, her family, and the tragic deaths of more than two dozen people kept echoing in my head.
If I had been experienced, if I had taken a step back at that time, perhaps, no one would have died, Xiao'e was insulted, but she would not have died.
This is a hopeless place, where people die every day, insulted, and what's the point?
However, I didn't do anything wrong, if time could go back to the previous events, I would still choose to save Xiao'e.
I am who I am, I will not change, no matter how long I stay in the hopeless place, I will not lose my heart.
Early the next morning, our group set off and headed up the mountain.
It is a stronghold, where there are hundreds of people, and people go up and down the mountain every day, but most of them try their luck on the outskirts of the mountains, and few go deep into the mountains.
On the major mountain ranges behind the five major cities, there are powerful demon beasts.
Only exorcists form a team to dare to hunt demon beasts, and ordinary mages, facing demon beasts, there is only one way to die.
The level of the monster beast is from weak to strong. Divided into levels one to five, the strength is comparable to that of an exorcist from level one to five.
Demon beasts are different from demons, because of their lack of spiritual intelligence, or their bloodline is average, or they fail to transform into humans, they cannot cultivate as human beings, they can only survive on their own bodies, and they do not know human language.
Powerful demon beasts, extremely strong in defense, and extremely terrifying in attack, there are more first-level and second-level demon beasts, third-level demon beasts are extremely rare, and fourth-level demon beasts are rumored to have only appeared once in the thousand-year history of the Hopeless Land.
Demon beasts have their own territory, and anyone who breaks in, the demon beasts will attack and defend their homeland.
Our purpose this time is to go to the deep mountains and hunt second-level demon beasts, the information given to me by Pudong is that the six protectors and his people have been operating in the territory of second-level demon beasts.
The mountains are full of dense forests, but there are many roads that are accessible all year round, and all roads lead in all directions, so you can find any area you want to go with a map.
However, in the depths of the mountains, there will be fewer and fewer roads, and there are even many areas that have not been developed.
The strong in the land of hopelessness. At most, they are stationed in the area of second-level demon beasts, and in the area of third-level demon beasts, only those powerful third-level exorcists will go, and there are very few third-level exorcists, they mix very well in the hopeless land, recruiting others to hunt demon beasts for themselves, and rarely go in person.
On the outskirts of the mountains, there are many large animals. There are people below the exorcist stationed here all year round, and we didn't stop in this area until three days later, when we arrived at the area infested with demon beasts.
Master Yao Chi told us that in the area where the first-level demon beasts are located, there are mainly three mercenaries stationed there, and if someone intrudes into their stationing range, they will be regarded as enemies.
Yao Chishi is very familiar with the environment here. Take us on a detour, and we don't want to get into trouble.
We crossed hills, forests, canyons, rivers, until on the eighth day, we reached the edge of a large river several hundred meters wide.
Xiao Ran stared at the rough water and said, "Go from here." It is the area where the second-level demon beast is located, and this snake is blocking the way of the second-level demon beast, preventing the demon beast from going down the mountain and harming humans. ”
"Remember, you have to be careful when crossing the river, underwater ...... There are water snakes, and these water snakes are not of high rank. It hasn't reached the level of a monster yet, and its attack power is not strong, but there are a lot of them. ”
"Moreover, the teeth of the water snake are highly venomous, and after being bitten, if it is not treated within five minutes, it will be difficult for the gods to save it."
Yao Chishi said: "Don't we have pills, don't be afraid." Unless you meet the Snake King. ”
Xiao Ran took out a lot of pills, one for each person, she said: "This is my characteristic realgar pill, the medicinal properties are several times that of the general realgar pill, it can restrain snakes, scorpions and other insects, can kill hundreds of poisons, ward off hundreds of evils, make Gu poison, after taking it, enter the mountains and forests and tigers and wolves, enter the river and avoid all poisons." ”
After taking the pill, no snake can get close. However, water snakes are different from ordinary snakes, snakes are afraid of sensitive smells, and in the water, the smell spreads very slowly.
The water snakes here are social creatures, and the more rapid the current, the more water snakes appear, and generally water snakes like to move low in calm deep pools.
But where the water is fast. It is very dangerous, and if the water is not good, even if it is an exorcist, it will drown in the water.
The pill dissolves quickly in our body, and some unpleasant smell starts to appear on our body, which is the smell of sulfur.
We found an area where the water flow was not fast or slow, and Xiao Ran said, "Everyone's cultivation is at least a second-level exorcist. They have all cultivated the power of the water attribute, but everyone must keep in mind that the power of the exorcist cannot be used in the water, those water snakes are extremely sensitive to strength, and it is easy to attract the water snakes. ”
In other words, you can only swim through here with your body, and you can't leak your strength, otherwise you will attract water snakes.
We wrapped all the supplies in plastic, and even the clothes were packed together and all sealed.
We men have a jump of underwear left, and everyone is in very good shape, especially Xuan Lao, who looks to be in his early sixties. The muscles on his body are very strong, with eight-pack abs, if you don't look at his face, you will definitely think that he is a young man in his thirties.
Xiao Ran just took off his coat and left a tight-fitting suit, outlining a perfect figure.
Yao Chishi's eyes glowed with fiery light, scanning Xiao Ran's body.
Xiao Ran said: "I opened the road in front, and Senior Jiang was behind." Xuan Lao is always ready to deal with sudden dangers. ”
"After the rest of you get into the water, the speed must be steady, and everyone will move forward hand in hand, and you must not leave the team."
Xuan Lao, who had not spoken, spoke, and said, "Let's move forward in batches, and I am in charge of Chishi, Xiao Ran, and Zhang Yuyan." Mr. Jiang, you are in charge of Ning Que, Yuan Yong and Yuan Gang, I want to ...... With the cultivation of the two of us, there is no problem in escorting everyone across the river safely, right? ”
Could it be that Xuan Lao saw through Yi Tian's cultivation?
Yi Tian didn't use the power of a fourth-level exorcist in front of everyone, and in the battle just now, he only used the power of a second-level exorcist.
Xiao Ran hadn't spoken yet. Yuan Yong said: "There is no problem with the arrangement of the predecessors of Xuan, it is divided into two groups of people, and the action is relatively fast, there are few accidents in this river, I have been here a few times before, and I have not encountered any water snakes, just be careful." ”
Zhang Yuyan said: "I have no opinion. ”
I don't have any disagreements with Master, I have been rolling in the water since I was a child, and the water nature is excellent, plus my blood is not poisonous, and I am not afraid of any water snakes.
Xiao Ran also told everyone to carry the supplies on their backs and hold weapons for self-defense.
We started to act, Yi Tian dived first, I followed closely, and Yuan Yong and Yuan Gang followed.
The water was not in a hurry, the ice penetrated to the bone, I rushed into the water, shot forward quickly, and caught up with Yi Tian, Yi Tian is a fourth-level exorcist, and his physical strength is excellent, I quickly surpassed Yi Tian and swam forward quickly.
Yuan Yong and Yuan Gang were left behind by the two of us. We don't have to cooperate at all, and Yi Tian didn't wait for them, nor did he take care of them.
These two people, sooner or later, we will find an opportunity to kill.
After we swam more than thirty meters, there was no danger, and suddenly, the stone demon exclaimed, "Not good. A large number of water snakes have appeared! ”
