Chapter Twenty-Six: Melody

It's simply reversing black and white!

Help them destroy the monsters that have oppressed them for hundreds of years, but they have become specially here to harm them?

Lu Xiaoling has no way to understand this logic.

Those villagers didn't dare to come up and punch and kick them, but their expressions were like mourning, but they were beaten up, which made Lu Xiaoling even more uncomfortable.

"You, won't you unite to destroy them?" She said feebly. "They're a little more powerful than ordinary beasts, but there's no way to kill them!"

"That's easy!" Elder Barong sneered. "Do you think our ancestors didn't try? There were tens of thousands of people in this mountain at the most, but what was the use? They don't fight people head-on at all, and they avoid traps and pick on when you're left alone and unprepared. You're going to be heroes and you're gone, but we're going to live here for the rest of our lives! Even if men can fight with them, what about children, women, and the elderly? ”

The crying grew louder.

Lu Xiaoling wanted to tell them loudly that she would be responsible for killing all the mountain ghosts, but looking at the winding and rugged mountains in the distance, she knew that this was just empty words.

Even if she was willing to live here for the rest of her life, it would be impossible to kill all the mountain ghosts.

Is it really wrong?

Her heart suddenly faltered.

"Let's get my father-in-law out first!" Xu Hai said in a low voice.

There is no way to solve such problems at the root unless the national level can be mobilized. But would Great Xia use the army to search the mountains for the sake of such a few small villages? There are hundreds of square kilometers of Nanyou Mountain, and there is a wider Nanling in the south, and with their wisdom, it is not a problem to find that it is not right to escape and hide.

To completely wipe out the mountain ghost clan, I don't know how much manpower and material resources will be invested.

It is almost impossible to eradicate them completely.

As Cao Daoping's son-in-law, he also knows some of the rules of monks, and it is impossible for things like mountain ghosts to be put on the table, if they are not wise, they may be announced as a rare animal, but they are a kind of monster.

In the midst of the gloomy clouds, Elder Barong finally led them on the road to save Cao Daoping, and the problem of the mountain ghosts could be solved slowly, but he had no way to wait any longer.

Ba Long asked people to prepare four pack horses, he and Sun Yang led the team in front, Lu Xiaoling was in the center, Huang Dou was broken, and Xu Hai and Li Yong and others stayed in the village. Horses carried large bundles of rope, herbs and oil, and a dozen elaborate torches.

Torches can be used not only as a light but also as a weapon to ward off wild animals or insects, in which case they are much better than flashlights.

Sun Yang quickly became familiar with the temperament of the two horses, so Ba Long simply let Sun Yang lead the two horses, while he held the worm flute in his hand and continued to experiment.

The eight holes on the worm flute can be used to blow many different tones, and Sun Yang also tried it, so it was not difficult to make it sound, but they didn't know which of the tones could communicate with a monster like the python, let alone what kind of tune they needed to use to command them. Whether it's Sun Yang, Lu Xiaoling, or Huang Dou, they don't have much research on this kind of thing.

But Baron clearly had studied the thing, and he blew it all the way, and soon blew some tunes that sounded like they had a certain pattern.

"Keep an eye on him later." During the break, Sun Yang whispered to Huang Dou.

Because they have no way to use the worm flute, they can only give it to Barong for the time being, but this is quite unsafe.

There's no guarantee that he's really just started working on this thing, and there's no guarantee that he won't use it to make more complicated orders.

If he took the group of them into the cave that was said to have thousands of pythons, and then suddenly ordered them to attack them, no matter how powerful Huang Dou was, it would be impossible for him to leave safely with Sun Yang and Lu Xiaoling.

"I know." Huang Dou nodded.

Lu Xiaoling didn't say much, Sun Yang was worried that she had not been poisoned before, but she shook her head and asked softly, "Did we really do something wrong?" ”

"We didn't do anything wrong." Sun Yang told her seriously. "At that time, we didn't have any other choice, that giant mountain ghost was obviously determined to take advantage of your poisoning to kill both of us, if Huang Dou didn't go all out, he might not be able to get out of the way."

"But those villagers ......"

"They are used to compromise, but they do not think that compromise will only make the enemy more arrogant and stronger in the end." Sun Yang said. "As you can see, there are so many mountain ghosts, and if they continue to multiply like this, the things that the villagers provide them will only become less and less for them to eat. At that time, there will only be two outcomes, either more places will be intimidated by them and forced to pay tribute to them, so that they can reproduce more and faster; Either they will overwhelm Jiaoxi and the surrounding villages, and the villagers will flee or be forced to resist. We have killed so many mountain ghosts, and there is only good and no harm for the villagers. ”

"But ......"

"There aren't many of them anymore, we'll find a solution!" Sun Yang said.

The team continued to move forward, Barong played the insect flute all the way, at this time, the pack horse that was walking in front suddenly panicked, Sun Yang held it tightly, trying to calm it, at this moment, a flat, colorful thing suddenly pounced on them from the grass.

"Be careful!" Lu Xiaoling shouted.

Sun Yang let go of the reins in his left hand, and with a heavy wave, several sharp claws grabbed him through the thick clothes, but he was smashed out.

More pythons pounced out of the grass, Lu Xiaoling kept shouting, blowing them up with charms, and Huang Dou danced his fists and killed all the pythons who dared to pounce.

A horse suddenly ran out.

"Baron!" Sun Yang shouted, he clenched his fist with one hand and grabbed the dagger with the other, and there was no way to care about the horse.

According to Barong, this place is still far away from the cave where Cao Daoping was trapped, how can there be so many pythons? Could it be that he was lured by Barong?

He quickly approached Barong, who was hiding between the two horses, quickly changing tunes, and suddenly, they all retreated far away.

"I found it! This tune should make them go! Baron said.

As soon as he stopped, the rustling sound in the grass began, and he hurriedly picked up the worm flute again and began to play, and the rustling stopped again.

"They didn't go far." Huang Dou said.

The camouflage uniform and thick leather gloves on his body were covered with juice from the python's body, and Sun Yang was similar, only Lu Xiaoling was barely splashed.

The pack horse that had run into the woods fell down with a wail, and Huang Dou rushed over, and it was clearly no longer good.

What it was carrying could only be pressed against the other three horses.

"These things are not difficult to kill, but there are many of them, and they are troublesome." Huang Dou said.

He picked up a dead python that he had smashed to the ground, its body was flattened and wider than that of a normal spider, its claws were thin and long, covered with disgusting fluff, and its body was mainly yellow and green, and it was terrifyingly large. The smallest of the crickets that attacked them was the size of a washbasin.

Sun Yang picked up the corpse of a python with the dagger in his hand, the huge fangs were two centimeters long, and it was no joke to be bitten.

"How did Master Cao hold out for so long in the midst of so many monsters?" He said worriedly. "We need to hurry!"
