Chapter 9: Killing in the Night
From our understanding, most of the people in the village are poor people, they don't want to harm people, and they don't want to embarrass us, so they resolutely disobey the plans of these wild demons, and they don't want to poison the food.
Because of this, the fat woman was killed by the Nightcrawlers.
From this point of view, we do have an obligation to save them from the fire.
After thinking about it, Captain Peng looked at the other two.
One is Teacher Zhang, and the other is Xie Ning.
He, along with these two women, constituted the highest decision-making level of the expedition team.
Xie Ning obviously still had some scruples and hesitations, but Teacher Zhang was a soft-hearted person, so he nodded at once, and then after a short discussion, they decided to leave some people here to watch the captured night walkers and the villagers here.
The other part of the people went to the high post behind the big tree to have a look.
It is said that there were still many children, women and children who had been taken captive, and because of our arrival, the gang was afraid of revealing the stuffing, so they were temporarily locked up there.
In short, we take care of this matter.
During the separation, Ma Yiao stayed here with Xie Ning, Teacher Zhang, Chen Jing, and the other two Tiger Class soldiers, while I went to the enemy's lair deep in the village to investigate with Captain Peng, Tang Dao, and Huang Xueer, a doctoral student of Teacher Zhang, and the other two Tiger Class warriors No. 3 and No. 7.
Of course, we're just going to investigate, scouting the situation, not storming the enemy's nest.
This is Captain Peng's assignment, and the little monk Mo Yan volunteered to ask Captain Peng to accompany him.
Captain Peng was a little worried about him, and said that it would be safer for you to stay here.
The little monk Mo Yan smiled and said, "Don't worry, I have learned a skill from my master, and it is definitely not a burden, and it will not be in the way." In addition, if I really have any three long and two short, the contents of this demon pestle will be handed over to Ma Yiao for safekeeping, and he will hold it on his behalf, and after the matter is over, I can return it to Xuefeng Temple, and I can't delay anything. β
He said so, and Captain Peng naturally had no opinion.
He is a decisive and resolute person, and he shirks at this moment, just because he is worried that something will happen to the little monk and will delay the rest of the trip, so after getting the guarantee of the little monk Moyan, he will not say more.
Then he made a simple arrangement to gather the villagers, and then had a brief conversation with Xie Ning and Teacher Zhang, which allowed Uncle Gega and another adult man named Mengning to lead us deeper into the village.
Uncle Gega was reluctant at first, after all, his wife and children were still in the hands of the nightcrawlers.
But where did Captain Peng allow him to back down at this moment, one is a threat, the other is a guarantee, and a few words make him give in.
As for the man next to him, he was willing, his mother died at the hands of these nightkkins, and he had an unforgettable hatred for the nightkin here.
The opportunity for revenge has come at this moment, where can he miss it?
We had seen the village as a whole on the cliff before, and it was mostly hidden in a large forest, with only a few clearings and fields exposed.
The houses are also nestled in the woods, and at first glance, they look like elven villages.
And the towering tree, as well as the hill behind the big tree, we all look at it, and the terrain is not complicated.
It's just that we're not sure if there's a nightcrawler lurking in this dark village, so we don't walk very fast.
On the way, Uncle Gega told us about the details of these nightcrawlers.
In fact, under normal circumstances, these guys are similar to people, extremely good at disguise, and basically do not show any nightcrawler characteristics, so they can't see their true appearance on weekdays, and only when they are to deter these captive mountain people, they will show their true colors.
Uncle Gega has seen seven or eight people, some are snow wolves, some are leopards, and some are extremely ugly insects.
God knows how these guys got together.
And the leader of this group of people is called the White Lion King, which is what they call the "Great King", but he has never seen it, and he doesn't know if it is a person as his name suggests, or just a nickname.
Anyway, that guy is very fierce.
Captain Peng asked about the number of nightkkins here, and Uncle Gega thought for a moment and said, "I can see about a dozen, but there are obviously more than so many of them here, because there are many who have never shown up, and the people who have seen them are basically dead......
I listened to the sidelines, summarized the information, and found that if this was the case, there might be a lot of opponents in the enemy's lair.
If it was just those small characters that I encountered before, I believe that with our group, we would be able to deal with it, but I am afraid that the strength of the "White Lion King" is too strong.
I can feel that Captain Peng is a powerful character, and he is deeply hidden.
But if he can't handle the White Lion King, then there's a good chance we'll be in trouble this time.
It's a tough battle.
I thought about it in my heart, and subconsciously touched the gossip bag in my arms and weighed the golden hoop stick in my hand.
When this thing doesn't grow bigger, it's as thick as a finger, and I hold it in my hand, ready to prevent emergencies from happening, so that I can pull out the stick abruptly and meet all challenges.
But then again, although the road ahead is full of crises and uncertainties, my heart is inexplicably excited.
After all, I have suffered a lot of grievances in the past few days, and although I continue to comfort myself in my heart, I still hope that one or two small characters who don't open their eyes can jump out and let me spread the evil fire in my heart.
The little monk Mo Yan has been following me, looking at the dark front, and said with some panic: "Hou Mo Hou Mo, are you afraid? β
Although he was curious and took the initiative to follow, he obviously had never encountered such a scene.
I smiled and comforted him, "It's okay, it's just a small scene." β
The little monk said, "Is this still a small scene? What should the big scene look like? β
When he asked like this, I couldn't help but think of the scene when Qin Liluo and Huo Ergongzi were engaged, and I stepped into the scene in the middle of Ma Yiao's suona, my heart was first hot, and then it was a little colder, and I said to him: "If you really encounter something for a while, you hide behind me, or find a place to hide." β
The little monk was a little stubborn and said why? Since I was a child, I have been practicing with my master and a group of uncles and uncles, and I have learned a lot of skills.
I said, have you ever fought to the death with someone?
Yes?
The little monk was stunned for a moment, what do you mean by "grappling and fighting to the death"? Does the opponent's practice count?
I smiled at him and said, "No, no, no, I'm talking about the kind of life and death, that is to say-murder, have you ever done it?" β
When the little monk heard this, he hurriedly shook his head, and his head was the same as a little rattle: "No, no, no, the monks are compassionate, and they should not kill indiscriminately." β
I said that it is not possible to subdue demons and eliminate demons?
The little monk said: "Buddhism pays attention to degree, and it is also life, as long as they are willing to repent, they must be given a chance." β
I saw this cute little monk and smiled, saying that this is what you are talking about, "put down the butcher's knife and become a Buddha on the ground"?
The little monk said that it can't be so absolute, but it is generally ...... Yes.
I just smiled and didn't speak.
This naΓ―ve and pedantic little monk reminds me of Master Sanzang in Journey to the West.
Ma Yiao, a guy with a golden cicada physique, doesn't look like Tang Seng's brother.
After chatting like this, we almost reached more than 400 meters, crossed the dark tree-lined path, and came to a flat field.
And at the end of this flat land is the towering tree that needs to be surrounded by a dozen peopleβthe tree is a bit like a banyan tree, and it is very tall like an oak tree, and no one knows what it is.
I always felt that this tree was very strange, not like the species that should appear in the mountains of the northwest.
And that flat land is not empty, there are many remains of stone buildings on it, and there is even a pavilion with carved railings and jade buildings, which has been stretching away.
Huang Xueer, a doctoral student of Teacher Zhang, saw that this was crazy, and walked forward quickly, touching the relics that had been preserved for I don't know how many years with his hand, and exclaimed: "My God, is this the legendary Yao Chi?" β
Captain Peng watched and listened to all directions, looked at the movements around him, and then said, "What Yaochi?" β
Huang Xueer said: "The Yao Pond of the Queen Mother of the West, look at the pool over there, the statues and stone carvings on it are exactly the same as those described in the classics, there, there...... Oh wait, no, no, this one should just be a copy......"
He was probably poisoned, muttering frantically there, his small eyes shining sharply under his thick glasses.
Compared with Huang Xueer, who was immersed in professional discoveries, the others were much more cautious, the third and seventh of the Tiger squad took the lead, holding a gun in front, while Captain Peng escorted Uncle Gega and Mengning, and greeted him: "Don't look at this yet, let's continue to move forward, you pay attention to the layout ahead, don't give people yin." β
Huang Xueer nodded and said okay.
He helped his glasses and followed the team, and the group crossed the ruins, came to the towering tree that was dozens of feet high, and went around again, and saw the green grass on the hill in front of him.
And below the pit, there were many crowded heads, crying.
This is supposed to be the place where women and children are held, but what about the caretakers?
I squinted, looked left and right, and guarded carefully, while the two warriors felt towards the edge of the pit over there, and Captain Peng stepped forward, and suddenly, his back straightened, and he shouted in a low voice, "Retreat, retreat, retreat......"
Before he could finish speaking, suddenly a rope was put around Three's neck, and he was pulled into the pit.
As for the other warrior, he subconsciously stepped back, but was pierced by an arrow shot in the darkness, nailing the person directly to the ground.
