Chapter 272: Demeter
When Tang Long rushed back, he saw the two little white girls foaming at the mouth and falling to the ground, their bellies swelling; The farmer and his wife were full of grief.
"What's going on!?"
"How could it be, impossible! How could my daughter have fallen under the curse of Ceres," the farmer sobbed.
"What is the Curse of Ceres?" Tang Long hurriedly asked, touching the girl's belly with his hand, food poisoning? Not like yes, allergies? There are no symptoms on the surface, Ceres-that scarecrow!?
"Why don't you hurry up and send your daughter to the hospital, maybe there will be a rescue!"
"It's useless, it's useless, it's a curse, a curse on us."
Seeing that the other party was stupid, Tang Long could only yell at his wife, "Is there a car here?" Go for a drive! Send to the hospital! β
Only then did the wife react, and hurriedly did so, Tang Long grabbed one in one hand, kicked open the door, and saw a shadow flickering away, and strange laughter came from the field.
"Remember, keep moving forward, don't look back, there should be supernatural creatures on your farm, hurry up!"
The wife is not like a local, for this kind of thing, although frightened, in the end it is not to the point of superstition, maternal love prompted her to be strong, wiped her tears, nodded vigorously, stepped on the accelerator, and roared away.
Tang Long watched the other party leave, and then he breathed a sigh of relief, it seemed that the strange only appeared in the field, and he rushed back non-stop, and saw the farmer sitting on the sofa with a sluggish face, as if he was completely stupid.
'Smack! ''Smack! The two slaps woke him up, and then he gritted his teeth and said, "Now you should tell me the truth, right?" Harvest every year, patron saint, what kind of shit situation is it! β
The farmer hesitated, but told the truth.
The story also takes place before the arrival of the Coulson siblings' grandfather, the exorcist cowboy. At that time, the Indians, because they could not bear to be slaughtered, sacrificed the lives of their entire tribe; Through the fragments of the ancient scrolls, the gates of hell were summoned, and countless evil creatures escaped, killing not only all the white soldiers. It also plagued the whole of Ohio, and the witchers arrived at the time, and after a great scuffle, the evil creatures were either killed or sealed.
But there were still many monsters that escaped, hiding in the mountains and forests, hiding underground, and one of them was caught by the ancestors of the townspeople. At the moment of being killed, the ancestors were seduced by this evil thing, and it made a pact with them that only one or two lives of outsiders were needed every year to ensure the prosperity and harvest of Tom Town, so the contract was made, under the cover of the townspeople. Even the witchers didn't find out, generation after generation. The descendants of the townspeople, for their own selfish interests, also remained silent.
"The story of the farmer and the snake is really what age it is, it can be found everywhere, and you can believe the words of monsters!" Tang Long shook his head. "So, in the original contract, the townspeople were protected?"
"That's right, he shouldn't have the ability to hunt us," the farmer said with a glazed eye.
"Fell under his curse. What kind of effect will it have? β
"Appetite, bottomless appetite, and can cause symptoms of food poisoning, and if you don't solve the other party within 12 hours, it's really incurable."
"So, there's only one night left for us?" Tang Long said in a deep voice, "I need to use the phone." β
This kind of evil thing, he really doesn't know how to deal with it, and there is no description in the monster encyclopedia, so at this time, he can only consult experts.
"Hey, Joe, I need your help."
"Not particularly free!" Joe knocked over a giant wolf like a calf with the butt of a gun, and the silver sword in his hand poked down, and blood splattered, "I'm dealing with the werewolf you said, let Jo guide you!" β
Then he threw the phone back, "Old sister, there is a phone." β
Jo, who was aiming at the forest with a sniper rifle, answered the phone impatiently from the four-legged monster that appeared from time to time: "Don, you know, we're busy right now!"
"Delay you for a minute," Tang Long also heard the gunshots coming from the other side, "How to deal with an evil god who can control the growth of plants and curse food?" By the way, it comes from hell. β
"You're talking about a Demeter? (In Greek mythology, the goddess who rules the earth and the harvest), how can you look for death like my brother, she is not something that mortals can deal with! β
"No, she can only controlβ" Tang Long made a rough estimate, "about three hundred acres of land, how about it?" β
"The depraved creature has no godhead, and set fire to her body!"
'Toot, toot, toot......'
"Hey, hey?" Tang Long scratched his head in annoyance, how did he know what that guy's body was, a tree, a flower, or a stone.
"I know, I'll go with you," said the farmer, with a pale face, "and I'm going to protect my daughter." β
"Okay, get gas, lighter, and go!"
Two men each held two barrels of gasoline and ran through the fields of the farm.
'Bang! ''Bang! ''Bang! β
While walking, the pumpkins and fruits nearby, like small bombs, suddenly exploded, splashing juice and scattering two people all over their bodies.
"It's Ceres, it'sβit knows," the farmer's mouth trembled.
"Don't talk nonsense, hurry up," Tang Long touched the juice on his face, the sweetness was mixed with the sourness, and people couldn't help but want to be desperate, lower their heads and eat a big meal.
'Curse! Without saying a word, he turned on the apotheosis, directly cutting off the reflex nerves in the mouth and stomach, and the feeling of hunger was partially reduced, but it still seemed to be conceived in the soul, if it wasn't for a strong will, it would definitely not be able to resist.
There was a gnawing sound from behind, and the farmer was already lying on the ground, grabbing the pumpkin flesh like a dog and stuffing it into his mouth.
"Damn it!" Tang Long grabbed the other party and walked forward as if he was catching a chicken.
"Ceres' body has two parts, one on the scarecrow and the other on the altar at the back." The farmer said while eating.
"Don't die!" Tang Long scolded, although now he also wants to eat very much.
As we pass through the fields of papayas and tomatoes, these melons and fruits are like bullets, and they are all over the place.
"Nima!!" Tang Long felt that he was about to be drowned, his eyes narrowed, his body became thicker and shorter, his muscles bulged, reducing the attack area, and the soles of his feet directly enlarged, like a vole, flickering left and right, impacting like lightning.
Forget about the tomatoes, it's just a lump of red paste on the body, but it's papaya, the nose and face are swollen from the two people, and the epidermis is really TM!
With two 'whoosh' and 'whoosh' sounds, two branches stretched out like lightning, hooked the gasoline tank in the farmer's hand at once, and disappeared into the depths of the grass in an instant.
It seems that he wants to repeat the old trick, Tang Long's fuel tank, there are also a few more vines, but the martial idiot Tang had already expected it, his nails instantly grew half an inch, and he flicked his fingers - hooked his claws, 'brushed' a few times, the vines were broken, and the incision was neat, as if he had been directly cut off by a sharp blade.
At last he arrived at the scarecrow, where the farmer was already dying, and his pregnant belly.
Gasoline poured on the scarecrow with a weird grin, "Goodbye, Fertilizer Monster!" β
The lighter flicked lightly, the fire was blazing, black smoke was emitting, and the scarecrow was drowned in the thick flames.
Tang Long doesn't like it, this monster can break the contract, so what about the other monsters in Tom Town, won't they also appear in front of people, right? Could it really be a group of demons dancing and a feast of monsters...... (To be continued......)
