Chapter 280: Poison Strikes
After late at night, I tiptoed into the village with Lin Zi and Hu Yifei, looking for the past all the way...... But what is strange is that every house in the village has the lights off, and there seems to be no one!
Just when we were full of doubts, we suddenly saw that the lights seemed to be still on in Amu's house in the distance, as if there were still shadows and shadows flickering! Could it be that the villagers have gathered in Amu's house? Thinking of this, I motioned for Hu Yifei and Lin Zi to follow quickly, and then quietly went straight to Amu's house......
Sure enough, although it was close to ten o'clock in the evening at this time, the courtyard of Amu's house was full of villagers. In order not to startle the snake, Hu Yifei and Lin Zi and I quietly came to the side of the courtyard, and then climbed the wall, trying to figure out what they were doing?
As far as the eye can see, the people in the courtyard are quietly busy! Some people are fetching water, some people are cooking in a big pot in the yard, and some people are constantly coming out and getting things inside and outside the house, not knowing what they are doing?
"Did you two notice something strange about their actions?"
After watching it for a long time, I always felt that the villagers in the courtyard in front of me were very abnormal! It's as if they're out of their minds? They were busy, but no one made a single sound! In order to make sure that there was no problem with what I saw, I still quietly asked Hu Yifei and Lin Zi around me.
"Sort of! You see, they don't walk like normal people! ”
Hu Yifei also saw the strangeness of the villagers, and pointed out to me a few people who walked strangely. I followed Hu Yifei's line of sight, and suddenly felt that the way the villagers walked seemed to be a bit familiar! Thinking about it, it's a bit like the carrion in Li Zhi's tomb walking!
"Could it be that the villagers are all under control?"
I groaned, and in order to verify my thoughts, I took out a small paper figure from my backpack, and then bit my fingertip and dipped a drop of blood on the little paper figure, so that the little paper figure got into the body of one of the villagers.
Soon, the feedback from the little paper figure had already come to my mind, and the results suddenly surprised me! The villagers in front of them actually all lost their souls, and the one who replaced them was actually a little spider who drilled into their spiritual platform!
What the hell does this old monster want to do with the village chief? Seeing this, if I can't think that all this is the ghost of the village chief in front of me, I am really a fool! It's just that the village chief drove the villagers to fetch water and burn fire, what did he want to do? Could it be that you want to cook Gao Jing and Anu and eat them?
While I was meditating, the village elder youkai, whom I hadn't seen for a long time, walked out of Amu's room! Probably because I cut a sword last time, his right hand hasn't grown yet! And the villagers who were controlled did not change much after seeing the village chief come out, and continued to do their own work as if no one was around.
It's not a way to just stare at it? I'm desperate to know what happened to Gao Jing and Anu now? But you can't show up directly! After all, if he recklessly showed up and was run away by the village elder monster, it would be even more difficult to get rid of him!
But as it happens, just when I was impatient, the village chief seemed to see that the water in the pot was almost boiling, and began to wave his mutilated hand and muttered something. And with his chatter, the villagers who were still busy began to stop what they were doing, and walked out of the courtyard gate of Amu's house with dull eyes one by one, and walked back to their own homes! After the villagers left, the huge courtyard instantly became empty, and only the village elder and monster were left.
The old village chief was not idle, and after seeing that the villagers had all gone back, he turned around and went into the house and took out a crockpot, and waved open the seal on the crockpot! For a while, the contents of the jar floated out, and when I fixed my eyes, it was all the lives and souls of the villagers! What do those souls seem to be guided by? They scattered and flew back to all corners of the village, back into the bodies of the villagers.
After doing this, it seems that the village chief's conspiracy has just begun! I saw him go straight to the cauldron of boiling water, and after adding a little bit of something to it, he went back to the threshold of the Amu family hall and sat down, as if waiting for something.
"Rustling ......"
After a few minutes, there was a rustling sound around for no apparent reason! I followed the sound and looked around, but I was almost scared half to death!
I saw that in the originally empty village alleys, a large number of poisons actually appeared! There were snakes and centipedes, scorpions and toads, and many other things I didn't recognize. What do they seem to be attracted to? rushed over from all directions, and then rushed into the courtyard of Amu's house.
"Brother Tian...... This! ”
Lin Zi naturally discovered the terrifying scene in front of him, and just wanted to say something, but I stopped him! For I saw a scorpion that looked so venomous crawled over his shoulder, and went down the wall into the courtyard, and went straight to the boiling iron cauldron.
In the next period of time, all kinds of poisons crawled over from all directions, crawling past us from time to time, so that we didn't even dare to breathe for a while! Luckily, they all looked like they were heading for the big iron pot, and they didn't hurt us other than crawling over us.
"Could it be that what the village chief did had something to do with the Holy Child?"
The scene in front of me reminded me of the legend about the Holy Child! Isn't the Holy Child made with poison? Is there any connection between the two? In order to verify what I had in mind, I continued to read it.
In sight, the poisons climbed on top of the cauldron along a wooden shelf that had been built and wandered for a while before climbing down again. It's a little confusing for a while! But for this scene, combined with the legends I learned about the Holy Child, I quickly guessed a thing or two.
Originally, I thought that the village elder monster used such a big pot to draw these poisons into the pot to boil! But when I saw that the poisons were only lingering around the pot for a moment and then leaving, I knew that was not the case.
According to my guess, the poisons should crawl to the mouth of the pot and drain their venom into the pot, which can also achieve the purpose of the village chief, and do not require the poisons to die. After all, the old village chief is a monster, and these poisons are all his kind, so he naturally won't do that kind of thing that is too anxious......
Speaking of which, many people should have guessed what the original form of the village chief was
