Chapter 20 Transactions
A weird smile appeared on the face of the giant mountain ghost, and the rune paper in Lu Xiaoling's hand was about to be thrown, but at this moment, continuous gunshots accompanied by the mountain ghost's terrible scream came out of the room, and the sneak attack mountain ghost fled in panic.
Xu Hai stood in the house with a pale face with a pistol, and the driver fell to the ground covered in blood, not knowing whether he was dead or alive.
"Guns! Gun! The panicked cries of the mountain ghosts spread around.
The situation is deadlocked again.
"You should know that humanity has become different from what it used to be!" Sun Yang said suddenly. "You should know that humanity has more powerful weapons than before, and if we die here, more people will come here with those weapons! The mountain ghosts will all be killed! ”
The giant mountain ghost roared, and Sun Yang squinted his eyes and stood in front of it, guarding carefully.
"Despicable human!" The mountain ghost roared loudly. "How dare you threaten me!"
"It's not mean." Sun Yang shook his head, a handful of sweat in his palms. Although he and Lu Xiaoling may not be afraid of this giant mountain ghost, if they really fight, Xu Hai and they will definitely not survive. More importantly, he needed to find out Master Cao's whereabouts from it.
"You know we have the power to kill you, we have planes flying in the sky, we have tanks made of steel, we can burn these mountains in an instant, so that the mountain ghosts will no longer have a place to live." He didn't know if the area had experienced war during World War II, but he believed that if the mountain ghosts had lived here for a long time and had intelligence, as the giant mountain ghosts said, then they should know how far human science had come.
They know guns, there is no reason not to know planes and cannons, and it should be clear that it is impossible for a monster with a physical body like them to confront humans head-on.
The giant mountain ghost really hesitated.
Wisdom often means compromise and exchange, the previous temptation let it know that the two guys in front of it are not as easy to deal with as they look, it may not be difficult to kill those people in the house, but let them escape a few people from outside the mountain, will it really attract those things? Will it attract the army?
It remembered the war that had taken place in the depression to the north decades ago, when the surrounding mountains and forests were secretly observed, and the battle between two groups of less than 5,000 humans on the avenue frightened them all.
The explosion that could destroy the entire mountain in an instant, and the guns that made a continuous loud noise and killed the people in front of him made a deep impression on him, and he had gone to the battlefield after the battle to find those terrible weapons, but he could not understand the hidden truth.
It's just a small pebble, but it can kill a human with the same weapon from a few hundred meters away, tearing everything in front of it to pieces.
From that moment on, it sensed that the end of the mountain ghost clan might have come.
But at that time they still occupied the mountain forest, and the Sanmiao people carefully cultivated the small fields in the forest, carefully hunting and cutting wood in the forest, but always remembered to leave them enough sacrifices in exchange for their forgiveness.
But just a dozen years later, the human army with weapons arrived. They began to kill people in the nearby villages, and the giant mountain ghost could not understand what they were doing, but it intuitively felt that all those who dared to go into the mountains and forests to communicate with them, understand the words agreed with them, and would regularly bring pigs and sheep to sacrifice to them were all killed.
It then led its people deeper into the mountains and forests, retreating around the holy place. The famine killed most of the newborn mountain ghosts, and some died stealing food and livestock from the villages, and the young mountain ghosts clamored to kill all humans and reoccupy the forest, but it knew that it was only suicide after hundreds of years of survival.
It killed the most radical mountain ghosts, hid in the mountains with its people, and finally, the troops left, and the weapons in the hands of the villagers gradually disappeared, and they became the kings of the mountains and forests again.
As they carefully kill some of the loggers who are destroying the forests, they suddenly pick up traditions that have been stagnant for decades, and in some villages there are even new worshippers. Barong was one of the most daring, helping him establish his authority in the village, killing those who questioned him, or smashing their homes and destroying their fields, restraining the young mountain spirits from harassing the families he had blessed them, and giving them the food they needed most.
Life seems to have returned to before the guns, and the young ghosts are eager to try their hand at more sacrifices and a bigger territory.
The killing of the two women who had entered the depths of the woods the year before had attracted dozens of humans with guns in their hands, and they wantonly killed the hard-to-catch rock sheep and muntjacs, creating terror and death in the mountains and forests, and the fear in the hearts of the giant mountain ghosts returned, even exceeding the awe of the holy land that their ancestors had warned them about.
It punished the young mountain ghosts who had made mistakes, restraining them from revealing their secrets too much, lest they lure back the armies with weapons in their hands.
"Take us to him, and we'll pay you!" Sun Yang continued.
"We want a hundred sheep!" The giant mountain ghost decided to compromise, and Sun Yang agreed without hesitation.
"Where is he?"
"In a cave in the Creek." The mountain ghost gloated, saying that it might be better to let those eight-legged things deal with them. It's better to let them lose both, and then let the mountain ghosts kill them!
"Take us to him now!" Lu Xiaoling said.
"I don't believe you." The mountain ghost said. "A hundred sheep will be sent to the opposite mountain forest before nightfall tomorrow."
All the mountain ghosts began to climb over the courtyard wall, and the giant mountain ghosts were the last to leave.
"Elder Barong asked you to come? What the hell is he trying to do? Sun Yang finally asked.
The mountain ghost climbed the courtyard wall and looked at them with green eyes, and disappeared into the darkness.
Li Yongyi stumbled and sat on the ground, unable to speak for a while.
Sun Yang and Lu Xiaoling went to check the driver's situation first, he had a cut on his head, and there were several deep claw marks on his body, which were still bleeding.
"Is there a hospital in the village?" Lu Xiaoling asked anxiously.
"There's only one small clinic." Li Yong replied tremblingly. "It's in the big house."
Sun Yang picked up the unconscious driver, Lu Xiaoling picked up a torch, Li Yong looked at them as if they were going to leave immediately, and exclaimed: "Are you crazy?" It's full of monsters out there! ”
Sun Yang walked out with the driver in his arms: "We have already negotiated, they will not come again tonight." ”
Lu Xiaoling walked in front with a torch in hand, and Xu Hai also followed behind with a gun.
Li Yong hesitated for a moment, and didn't have the courage to stay here by himself, so he could only pick them up and go.
Outside, it was quiet, as if nothing had happened, and the whole village was shrouded in deathly silence.
"You believe in those monsters?" Lu Xiaoling asked in a low voice.
"Of course I don't believe it!" Sun Yang replied. "But that's the only clue we've ever had."
