Chapter 374: Toad Man
Wang Xingguang has always felt that he is quite bold, but when he faced such a terrifying two monsters, the fear of death mixed with the weakness hidden in his heart burst out together.
Think about being the only child in the family, my wife is also pregnant with her first child, she is about to give birth, and the old mother is old, if she dies, what will happen to the wife, and how will the mother live? Even the old father under the Nine Springs, knowing that he died so miserably, would be extremely sad.
When these thoughts emerged instantly, Wang Xingguang's desire to survive became extremely strong: as long as he could live, he could do whatever he wanted.
The larger monster saw that he had succumbed, his tone softened a little, and he continued to say stiffly: "Okay, it's very simple, you have to find a woman to mate with me. ”
Wang Xingguang's heart was shocked, this request was too strange and too lacking in morality, he frowned, opened his mouth a few times, wanted to say something, but he didn't say anything.
The larger monster seemed to be very angry when he saw his reaction, and stepped on Wang Xingguang's chest with that fishy "foot" at once. Wang Xingguang felt as if his sternum was about to be trampled on, and there was a huge pain in his chest, and he suddenly couldn't breathe. He waved his hand with difficulty, begging for mercy.
At this time, the monster moved its foot away from Wang Xingguang's chest.
Wang Xingguang knew that if he didn't agree, he would definitely die, and he secretly complained in his heart, but there was nothing he could do.
"If you don't do what I say, I'm going to kill not only you, but all the people in your house, hear?"
The monster's words made Wang Xingguang shiver, and he knew that he had no choice at all, so he had to bite his lip tightly, with tears in his eyes, and nodded with difficulty.
Seeing that Wang Xingguang gave in, the monster let out a sharp and terrifying scream, like crying and laughing, which was extremely ugly.
Then, as if relieved to him, the monster further explained that it was only looking for women to mate, and that it would not kill them, and that Wang Xingguang only had to provide them with a place for single women to live, and that before it entered the house, it would stun the women with a scent, and only then would it go further, and that they would go away before the woman woke up.
But this smell is only useful for women and children, not for adult men, so look for women who are not at home, or who are not at home.
Wang Xingguang was helpless, thought about it, and thought of a widow in his village, this widow is in her early thirties, but she has never had children, her husband died of tuberculosis a year ago, this woman is very ugly, so she has not found someone to remarry for the time being.
At midnight at the end of the month, Wang Xingguang came to the edge of the cliff as promised, and after meeting the two monsters, he took advantage of the high wind and the dark moon to take the two monsters to the widow's house.
Because it is a mountainous area, the households in the village live according to the mountainous terrain, so the distance between households is very long, unlike the villages in the plain area, where each household is close to the other, which is not easy to be noticed.
The smaller monster was sentry outside, while the larger monster was quietly lying on the window, blowing out an extremely fishy smell from his mouth, which smoked so much that Wang Xingguang almost didn't vomit it.
Then, the larger monster entered the house, and when it was done, it quickly retreated, and then the two monsters returned to the cliff and climbed down.
The next day, Wang Xingguang deliberately stayed near the widow's house to observe the widow's movements.
At about noon, the widow came out with a wooden basin of clothes and prepared to go to the river to wash, Wang Xingguang saw that she was not obviously abnormal except for a little sluggishness, so he was a little relieved.
But what gave Wang Xingguang a headache was that he didn't know why, that monster and each woman only happened once, and then Wang Xingguang would be asked to find another woman.
Wang Xingguang was helpless, it was really easy to get on a thief ship and get off a thief ship. He had no choice but to take advantage of the men's labor to quietly bring the two monsters over, and spoil the women who stayed at home one by one.
After a long time, it has caused a lot of pregnant women who are left alone in the house, and what is even more strange is that these women who are pregnant for one or two months have a big belly and poop, which looks very obvious, and in less than three months, they will give birth to a terrible freak, this kind of freak looks very similar to those two monsters - the body is a little like a human, and a bit like a monkey, the skin is green, the head is triangular, and when lying down, it is a little like a toad, which is extremely terrifying, therefore, some pregnant women are scared crazy, and even two are scared to death.
What's even more incredible is that after being born, these freaks will quickly crawl out, and in most cases, such freaks will be killed by the people around them, but there are very few who can escape, and these freaks who escaped climbed into the puddle near the village, which is surrounded by cliffs.
Wang Xingguang knew that he was doing evil, but in order to keep his family safe, he could only do it with his conscience. But he wasn't stupid, as he came into contact with those two monsters more and more, he also tried to understand the details of those two monsters.
Wang Xingguang found that only the larger monster could speak "human words", but the smaller one could not, only squeaky and scream, and the larger monster also had more eyes.
Fortunately, although these two monsters fight extremely fast and powerful, their intelligence is not stronger than that of humans - especially the smaller monster who can't speak "human words" is even more stupid; Even the smarter, larger ones are sometimes a bit lacking in heart, not shrewd at all.
Under Wang Xingguang's continuous temptation, he gradually learned the origin of these two monsters - they can live in both water and land, in addition, they are more afraid of sunlight and dry climate, so they like to be active at night.
After learning this, Wang Xingguang gradually realized that they were not ghosts at all, but a special kind of living creatures, and Wang Xingguang also named them "toad people".
To Wang Xingguang's shock, the larger "toad man" was different from the ordinary "toad man" - it was a cross between a human and a purebred "toad man".
Its mother was a normal woman, and for some unknown reason, she was defiled by the toad man, and then gave birth to it. As a result, it can speak "human language" and has a relatively high intelligence, while the smaller toad man is purebred.
Wang Xingguang also learned from the mixed toad population that these toads can only move within a radius of a few miles, and cannot go further, because only in the vicinity can they have water for their life - it turns out that the water they use to live and hide is different from ordinary water.
After knowing this, Wang Xingguang's heart moved, and he had the idea of moving: if he moved to a provincial capital hundreds of miles away, wouldn't these toad people be able to pester him?
But all this requires money, so he thought of the "giant Lingzhi" on the cliff again.
Since these two toad people can come and go freely on the cliff, why not ask them to help them pick a few giant reishi mushrooms for themselves? Who knew that when Wang Xingguang made this request, the two toad people were a little excited and angry, and the mongrel toad man also warned Wang Xingguang with an angry face, don't fight those giant Lingzhi ideas, otherwise it will kill him.
Why did the two toad people react so violently when they mentioned digging up the giant reishi? Wang Xingguang couldn't figure it out for a while, but when he saw that he had angered the two toad people, he was so frightened that he didn't dare to ask any more.
But he didn't give up, a few times, he secretly observed how the two toad people climbed the cliff, Wang Xingguang was surprised to find that the two toad people, at first glance, were grabbing the vines on the cliff wall, slowly climbing down, but if you look closely, you will find that when the two toad people descend to the cliff more than a foot away, they will suddenly disappear mysteriously!
Why is this happening?
Wang Xingguang thought about it and felt that there was only one answer - more than a zhang away from the top of the cliff, there was probably a hole, and those two monsters had entered the hole.
But the location where the giant Lingzhi is located, at least more than ten zhang from the top of the cliff, that place is bare, there is not a single vine at all, so you have to use a rope to get there.
The mongrel toad man had inadvertently revealed a message: they lived in a large pool below the cliff, which was their base camp, and that within twenty-four hours they had to get to the water, or they would be weak and gradually dry up and die.
If this is true, then it means that from the hole in the cliff, you can go directly to the bottom of the cliff, that is, you can follow the hole in the cliff, drill into the inside of the cliff and slowly go down, so that even if you don't use a rope, you may have a chance to reach the place where the giant reishi grows.
This discovery made Wang Xingguang extremely excited!
He had enough of being coerced in this life, and his wife had just given birth to a big fat boy for him, so he could be regarded as a successor. One day, when his wife returned to her parents' house, he wrote a suicide note and put it at home, which told him the ins and outs of the matter, and solemnly told his wife that in case he had an accident, let his wife quickly take his old mother away to fly away, so as not to cause death.
In order to be safe, Wang Xingguang chose to act during the day, he knew that only during the day, those toads would not come out, and there was enough light during the day, whether it was cliff climbing or any other action, it was very beneficial.
It was a light and sunny day, and the cliff was still deserted, and there was no one but him. Wang Xingguang looked at the bottomless cliff, and a trace of fear surged in his heart, but he knew that there was no way to retreat, so he gritted his teeth, turned his heart sideways, grabbed the vines, and tried to go down along the cliff wall.
Just in case, Wang Xingguang also prepared two ropes, one end tied to the boulder on the edge of the cliff, and the other end tied to his waist.
When he grabbed the vine and descended, he tried not to look at the abyss below, but even so, the strong fear, mixed with inexplicable excitement, still made Wang Xingguang's heart beat wildly, he closed his eyes first, then took a deep breath, calmed his emotions, and then continued to climb down.
When descending to the cliff more than a zhang away, Wang Xingguang was disappointed to find that there was no hole in that place at all, and what was even more strange was that if he wanted to continue to descend, there were no vines, and he could only rely on two ropes around his waist, but if he relied on the rope, there was a good chance that he would repeat the mistakes of the previous medicine farmers - the rope was mysteriously broken, and people would fall under the bottomless cliff and be smashed into meat cakes.
