Chapter 17 Staying behind and waiting for help
This Oriental Medusa coiled in the tree, in the final analysis, is just a mutated corpse puppet, not a big trouble, the only headache is the mountain snake that has crawled to the ground and is full of branches.
Most of these mountain snakes are non-venomous swimming snakes, and there are also poisonous snakes such as Chilian, but unless they are allergic, even if they are bitten, they are not very poisonous and will not die on the spot.
But there is a saying that ants bite elephants to death, and there are many snakes...... Even if it's not poisonous, we don't have the courage to drill into the snake pile.
King Kong walked in the front and pulled out a porcelain jar from his back, which looked a bit like a bottle of liquor, he bit the lid and took a big sip......
"Poof......
A cloud of water mist sprayed out of King Kong's mouth, and the air was suddenly filled with a strong smell of wine, I can't smell the quality of this liquor, but the taste of this wine is a little weird, it seems to be a little different from the ordinary liquor.
Dan Fengzi's nose twitched, and he sighed: "It's really a waste to use this superb realgar wine to deal with these beasts, is this realgar Xianghuang or Qianhuang?" ”
King Kong turned his head and laughed: "Where can Qianhuang afford it, this is Xianghuang, this base wine is not a rare commodity, there are still a few jars at home, if you like it, it's something here, come to me, let's have a drink together." ”
"That's a good idea!" When Dan Fengzi heard this, his eyes narrowed with a smile, and he couldn't stop nodding, and he was a drunkard.
"Ahem......"
Gu Wei coughed, King Kong scratched his head in embarrassment, and continued to spray wine to open the way.
The group of snakes that had been surrounding us suddenly stirred, and most of the mountain snakes turned around and ran, obviously very afraid of realgar wine, and there were also a few particularly large ones, swimming near the team, as if waiting for the right time to strike.
The mink's little head poked out of its hood, and with a sudden cry of excitement, it jumped off my shoulder, and like a white bolt of lightning, it rushed to the front of the group, and out of the haystack took out a bowl-thick, especially fat python.
The python's thick body struggled and rolled wildly, but it was bitten through the skin by the mink, pulled out the snake gall, and twisted a few times and didn't move.
The mink wiped its mouth with its little paws, and its little eyes lit up, staring at the other black snake, and rushed over again.
"Woo la ......"
A hundred meters away from the tree, the Medusa corpse puppet suddenly screamed, and all the snakes stopped at the same time, and then they burrowed into the grass and dirt pits at the edge of the village like a tide.
The Medusa corpse golem looked at us, then in the direction of the stilted building where the villagers were, and decisively leaned down from the tree and into the bushes.
That's it!?
I couldn't help but be stunned, McDonald's still wanted to chase it, but was stopped by King Kong.
"There are a strange amount of these dirty things, settle the villagers first, contact the sect to send people to support, otherwise it will not be enough to rely on a few of us."
After listening to King Kong's words, everyone nodded.
McDonald's didn't forget to pick up the corpses of several pythons killed by the mink, and shook it at me with a smile: "Boss! You white mink is really a baby, let's ask the people in the village for some drinks, charcoal roast fat snake at night, his grandmother's, such a big snake, I haven't seen it for a long time. ”
Hearing McDonald's words, Dan Fengzi and King Kong were also happy, and the two guys, who could be more than 100 years old together, immediately ran to help put out the fire and asked the villagers for drinks.
My stomach was growling with hunger, and we hadn't even drunk a sip of water from noon until now.
Not long after, several grills were set up in front of the stilted building where the villagers gathered, and in addition to the several big pythons killed by the mink, there were also dozens of small snakes that had been killed before were cleaned up and roasted on the fire together.
After these things, the villagers of Jianshan Ki Village also completely recognized us, and they took out food and wine at home to entertain us.
Before the dinner party started, King Kong, Dan Fengzi and Zhang Lin planned to patrol around the village.
Before Zhang Lin left, he asked me for nine more Yang Gathering Talismans, saying that he wanted to arrange some formations nearby.
……
The fat snake meat on the grill is skewered together, brushed with a layer of honey, in the charcoal fire, the fragrance is overflowing, the oil in the meat is gradually roasted, mixed with honey, and falls into the charcoal fire below, making a "puff ......" sound.
I sat by the fire with McDonald's and Gu Wei, listening to Wei Jinbo and Jiefu talk about what happened after we left.
It turned out that not long after we left, this Medusa corpse puppet took countless mountain snakes and surrounded several buildings where the villagers were, but fortunately, everyone gathered together at that time and resisted, except for a few villagers who were bitten by snakes, but there were no major casualties, and the bitten villagers have been properly treated.
Regarding this incident, we have also sorted it out again.
First of all, these hungry children, they are very different from the hungry children recorded in the classics of the major sects, according to records, the hungry children make corpse puppets, should use the spirit to raise the corpse.
And these corpse puppets encountered tonight turned out to be able to re-stuff the two souls of Juesheng after the dispersal of the heavenly souls into the patchwork body through mutation, creating a kind of monster that is not a human corpse or a corpse and retains a part of its spiritual intelligence.
Even through the fusion of races, some incredible abilities have been produced.
Such a monster is fine if it is naturally generated under special conditions, but if it is used by someone with a heart, and once it is mastered in mass production and the method of improving the mutant corpse golem, it will be a disaster.
Speaking of which, we can't help but talk about the previous ghost fetal incident, about the ghost fetal incident, according to McDonald's, the Shushan faction has also intervened in the investigation, and the Shushan faction has tracked a total of more than a dozen similar cases of missing pregnant women.
In the end, it was discovered that a mysterious organization called "Tiangang" kidnapped pregnant women all over the country, brutally took out the fetus in their wombs, implanted them into the baby's siblings, and cultivated ghost fetuses.
The investigation results of the Maoshan faction and the Shushan faction are almost identical, and the characters in this mysterious organization have also fought against each other, so what is the purpose of this "Tiangang"? Who are they?
The specific situation, McDonald's and Wei Jinbo are not very clear.
Obviously, with the current ability of a few of us, we are not qualified to meddle in this case, and I hope that this case has nothing to do with Tiangang, otherwise, it is really not something that a few of us can deal with.
However, in this temporary passage case, there are obvious traces of man-made.
It's not just the fake pill in my bag......
According to Gu Wei, every time a temporary passage appeared in the past, at most one or two ghosts escaped, and the area of the underworld was much larger than that of the human world.
In such a place, the wandering ghosts should be very rare, and most of them are ordinary white shirts and yellow pages, at most black shadows and red stars, and it is very rare for two hungry children to appear at the same time like this one......
"I his grandmother, no matter what he does, the sky has fallen and he has grown taller, and this snake meat will be charred if it is roasted again! Don't wait for a few of them! Let's go first," McDonald's said loudly, standing up and holding up a bottle.
His words dispelled a lot of gloom in everyone's hearts at once, and I still understood this guy who was swaggering on the surface.
What kind of "Heavenly Gang" matter is this, it was not my turn to worry about the little monk who built the first layer of the foundation, but this time, the main purpose is still the flower of the two realms.
Calculate the time, there are still five days, it should be in time.
The five of us tore off a few pieces of snake meat, grabbed them in our hands, and threw a piece of it to the mink, and the little one ate it with relish.
McDonald's opened a bottle of beer for each of us with his teeth, and just after a round of drinking, the three of them returned.
I noticed that the expressions of the three of them were not very good.
"The drawbridge has been destroyed," King Kong cut off a piece of snake meat with his saber and put it into his mouth, "It seems that these ghosts are eyeing everyone here." ”
"His grandmother's, it just so happens that Daoye's snake hasn't eaten enough, how many of these grandsons come, let's slaughter as many as possible! Big brother, when the time comes, the hungry boy will be handed over to you, and these corpse puppet monsters will be handed over to a few of us! ”
I can't help but smile bitterly, you think that drawing the Void Charm is typing on a computer! It's been more than an hour since we came out of the cave, and now our soul power is almost depleted, and even one percent of it was in its heyday is insufficient.
I estimate that if I want to hurt the hungry boy of the fake pill, I need at least a red-level void talisman, and every time I complete a red-level void talisman, it will cost at least sixty or seventy percent of my soul power.
With my current soul power recovery speed, in one day, I can also put a red-level void talisman, this is still in a state that has not been interrupted, the void talisman originally has many variables, in case it doesn't work, then it is really at the mercy of others.
"I have another not-so-good news here," Dan Fengzi said on the side, "I and Tianmi Daoyou checked around the village just now and found a ghost. ”
Hell!? You must know that those mutated corpse puppets will not leave ghost energy, first of all, they are all new souls, they have not cultivated the ghost path, and they have been sealed into a patchwork of bodies.
Therefore, the one who can leave a ghost aura must be a hungry boy or some other ghost.
"I followed all the way along the remnants of the ghost qi, and the ghost qi disappeared until it reached the river," Dan Fengzi sighed and took a piece of snake meat handed over by Gu Wei.
Zhang Lin also nodded: "I went into battle near the village, in case there are ghosts again, we will also have a precaution in advance." ”
Gu Wei used the tablet to call up a satellite map, according to the current situation, it is likely that some transportation facilities in the mountains have been destroyed by these ghosts, and if the villagers want to withdraw from the mountains, they must bypass the valley, walk more than ten kilometers of mountain roads, and pass through several dangerous sections.
With our current manpower, it is not enough to ensure their safety, and the best way is to occupy these stilted buildings built on high places to guard the narrow aisles, defend against the enemies that may arise, and wait for the arrival of supporting disciples.
"After a while, we will organize the villagers to go back to their respective homes to get clothes, quilts and food, and we will take turns to keep vigil tonight......" King Kong assigned the task, although his cultivation is not the highest, but he has the most experience in combat, and there is also a cadre who belongs to the ability of a soldier, and everyone has no objection to his words.
Instead, I looked at the map and frowned......
On the map, from the Jianshan Ridge where we are currently located, to the Thirty-two Shells, we have to pass five suspension bridges along the way, if all of them are destroyed......
Broken wall plank road, a line of sky, tracing the valley...... The names of these attractions, in my opinion, at this time, are like a tiger's den and a wolf's lair!
King Kong seemed to see my concern, and added: "Tomorrow during the day, a few of you will stay to protect the villagers here, and Chen You and I will rush to the place where the passage is open to investigate the situation, and arrange it by the way to prevent more ghosts from escaping the boundary." ”
He arranged this, obviously worried that my matter would be delayed, but he didn't say it, I was a little embarrassed, and was about to say that I could go alone, but King Kong quietly shook his head at me.
I had no choice but to swallow back the words that came to my mouth.
But McDonald's on the other side spoke: "How can that work!" Where is the big brother, where am I! Danfengzi, you stay here, and I'll accompany my eldest brother and them on the road tomorrow! ”
"I'll also accompany you on a trip, after all, if you want to hold the passage, you have to set up some formations, and in this regard, I can help a little," Zhang Lin suddenly said.
"Ouch, I can't see it, they all say that the disciples of the Wudang faction are arrogant and love to pretend, but you kid is warm-hearted! Not bad! He Daoye's appetite, "McDonald's doesn't know whether it's a scolding or a compliment."
Zhang Lin smiled, which was a response to McDonald's.
Seeing that we were leaving, Wei Jinbo and Jierou also quarreled to go together, but they were rejected by King Kong, "Who went to protect the villagers?" ”
After the meal, we helped the villagers go home to get clothes and quilts and some food, and gathered in the three tallest stilted buildings in the village, while a few of us took out tents and sleeping bags from our backpacks and set up in front of the only passage uphill.
The location of these stilted buildings is also excellent, one side is the mountain wall, the other side is the cliff, the location is the highest place in the village, the view is excellent, as long as this section of the narrow slope is guarded, unless these ghosts can fly up, otherwise they will be stopped by a few of us first.
Zhang Lin laid out many formations near the stilted building, just in case.
……
The first shift at night was me and the meat guard, you must know that this first shift vigil was the most relaxed, and it was also taken care of by King Kong, but it may be because I did contribute the most today, and they all had no opinions, and they all went into their respective tents and slept.
I and the Ringer wore a blanket and chatted around the campfire, and the mink fell asleep beautifully in my arms.
Speaking of chatting, it was probably me talking, listening to the child who spoke too hard, he often repeated the first word, I kept guessing what he was going to say later, he just nodded and shook his head.
Chatting and chatting, I really think it's playing with you, I guess......
I remembered one thing, and hurriedly took out the soul nourishing bottle containing the grandson of the Li family from my bag, took out the requiem charm, pinched the trick, released the soul of the grandson of the Li family, and asked the abstinence to help exceed.
This was the first time I had seen the process of transcending the soul with my own eyes.
Just look at the precepts on his legs, holding the Buddha beads in his hands, and singing the scriptures "Woo Woo".
I found that the original muddy expression of the Li family's grandfather and grandson gradually became a little angry, and then he knelt in front of the abstinence with a reverent face and listened to the Buddhist scriptures, revealing an obsessive look.
"Huh!"
It didn't take long for me to realize that something was wrong......
From the ground, from the trunk of the tree...... Gradually, vague ghosts appeared, most of them were white-shirted ghosts, and there were even three or four yellow figures among them, which were clearly yellow-page ghosts who had begun to enter the Tao!
The ghosts all gathered with a reverent face......
Holy! This Nima, what the hell are you thinking about!
Is this going to be overdone or to conjuring spirits!!
