Chapter 199: Fighting the Eight Hook Monsters
Dongsheng scratched his scalp, frowned and said, "Without my buckwheat girl, I have no intention of taking money from the cornucopia, I'm not interested in this, you can take out a third one." ”
With a wave of the scarab's front paws, the cornucopia disappeared, and in its place appeared a golden ball the size of half a thumb, radiating golden light.
"This is a strong pill." The scarab also said, "If you eat it, you will have infinite strength, and you can use your strength to earn food and clothes to wear." Although he has no worries about food and clothing, he will always be a laborer. ”
Dongsheng's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he hurriedly asked, "After eating, how much strength can you have?" ”
Scarab: "Let's use an analogy: plucking a small tree that is thick in pairs is as easy as plucking a small grass thinner than chopsticks." ”
Dongsheng was overjoyed in his heart: "With such great strength, can you defeat the Eight Hook Monsters?" ”
Scarab: "Fighting is not only about strength, but also about wisdom and guts. If your guts and wisdom are strong enough, defeating the Eight Hook Youkai and rescuing the Buckwheat Girl will not be a problem. ”
"Then I'll want this treasure!" Dongsheng said happily.
He was convinced that he had the guts and that he was not stupid, and for the sake of his beloved buckwheat girl, he gave up.
After eating the golden balls, Dongsheng stretched out his arms and kicked his legs, feeling that his body was full of strength, and knowing that what the scarab said was true, he said goodbye to the scarab and walked towards the sand top of the southeast.
The sand top is on the west bank of the Qingliang River, and it is seven or eight miles away from Dongjinzhuang. Dongsheng soon arrived.
The sandy soil is very large, covering an area of more than 1,000 hectares, and the highest point is as high as a three-story building, and there are red wattles, wild canopy trees and sour jujube trees growing sparsely on it. Due to the lack of moisture, the grass on it is dry and yellow.
To put it bluntly, the top of the sand is actually a big sand mound. Because there are a lot of sand and soil posts along the Qingliang River, in order to distinguish them, people name them sand soil tops.
Dongsheng circled around the top of the sand, but he didn't find the monster's cave. Angry, he shouted:
"Stinky eight hook monsters, return my buckwheat girl. Otherwise, I'll turn the sand upside down, and leave you dead with no place to bury. ”
When the eight-hook monster heard the shout, he came out of the cave and looked at it, and saw that it was a mortal young man, and said disdainfully: "I have never dealt with mortals, and I advise you to go back quickly, live your farm life, and don't disturb my cultivation." ”
Dongsheng pointed at the eight-hook monster and shouted: "Stinky eight-hook monster, return my buckwheat girl." Otherwise, I will bulldoze your sand and smash your cave. ”
"Hehehe, what a big breath!" The eight-hook monster smiled evilly, and still persuaded: "The buckwheat girl is condensed by the spirit of buckwheat, how can you be a mortal in the flesh." Let's let her enjoy the blessings in my cave! ”
"Stinky monster, that buckwheat is cultivated by me, and the buckwheat girl has been with me for a hundred years. You don't want to be strong, and quickly return my buckwheat girl! ”
"Alright then!" The Eight Hook Monster looked calm: "As long as you find my cave and take the buckwheat girl from my hands, she will be yours." After saying that, he disappeared.
It turns out that the Eight Hook Youkai is a spider demon who lives on top of the sand. In order to keep its own territory, it easily does not harm humans, but often comes out at night to hunt some small animals. Sometimes they steal pigs and sheep that people feed and don't come home at night, and get them into burrows for their own enjoyment.
That night, as usual, the spider demon wandered around in the dark again, trying to catch a larger animal and return to it. Humans feed more meat than wild small animals, which is delicious.
When he wandered into Dongsheng's buckwheat field, he found that Dongsheng and the buckwheat girl were sitting side by side on the edge of the buckwheat field, and they looked very affectionate. and envy arose in his heart. Look at the buckwheat girl again, her complexion is delicate, her face is good, and she looks like a mortal in the world.
It catches a scarab and asks where the buckwheat girl came from.
The scarab knew that it did not eat people, but only insects and small animals, and was worried that it would net itself, so he said to it, "Let me go and promise not to hurt my life, I will tell you." ”
Spider Demon: "Okay, I promise not to hurt your life." You say it, and I'll let you go. ”
Scarab: "That's not good! Your mana is not a little bigger than mine, you have to regret it, I don't have any spells at all. You let me go first, I promise to be honest with you. If not, you can arrest me again and leave me at your disposal. ”
The spider demon thought to himself: Isn't it just a little beetle, it's already under my control, and it doesn't dare to escape. So, the scarab was released.
Scarab didn't break his promise, and told the spider demon the origin of the buckwheat girl.
The spider demon was overjoyed to hear that the girl had been transformed by the spirit of buckwheat. It turned out that it was also cultivating, hoping to become an immortal. It knew that all elves had divine powers, and if they were used to replenish or eat, their cultivation would be greatly improved.
Thinking so, the spider demon was determined to get the buckwheat girl. But because Dongsheng was by her side, she was afraid of making things bigger, so she didn't dare to act rashly.
The spider demon quietly hid to the side, quietly peeking at Dongsheng and Buckwheat Girl. It wanted to wait for Dongsheng to leave, or in the dead of night, knock Dongsheng unconscious, and then catch the buckwheat girl.
In the middle of the night, Dongsheng reluctantly left the buckwheat girl and went home.
The spider demon was overjoyed, spat out a silk thread, and tied up the buckwheat girl.
I was about to take it away, but suddenly it occurred to me that the beetle had seen me, and if I got the buckwheat girl away like this, maybe it would give the young man a message. Rabbits don't eat the grass next to the nest, under the nose of their nest, it is best not to erect more enemies, and live a fearful life.
So, the spider demon blew the air and set off a gust of demonic wind, blowing all the sand and rubble around it onto the buckwheat ground, piling up a large mound of earth two stories high.
The scarab and buckwheat were all pressed underneath, which not only created the illusion that the buckwheat girl was buried under the sand mound, but also suppressed the scarab, and the fact that it robbed the buckwheat girl became a big secret, and no one knew about it anymore.
Unexpectedly, Dongsheng was resolute, bulldozed the sand mound, rescued the beetle, knew the whereabouts of the buckwheat girl, and came to the door to ask for it.
The spider demon doesn't want to make a big deal on its own turf, because it is exposed regardless of victory or defeat. No one wants to have a yokai near their home. Once exposed, it is bound to become the target of people's publicly.
The spider demon knew that its cave was very hidden, and the young man could not find it, so he went back after a while.
Take a step back and think: if he finds it, it will be that he has thrown himself into the net and quietly eliminated him in the cave, and the people outside do not know it, and it can become a delicacy for himself.
After the spider demon said a few words to Dongsheng, he hid in the cave and waited for the situation to develop.
Dongsheng is here and vows not to give up if he doesn't find the buckwheat girl.
At noon, the sun is like a big ball of fire, the scorching sand burns the feet, and the sun sweats profusely.
Dongsheng plucked a pair of thick willow trees on the edge of the sandy top, held it as an umbrella to protect from the sun, and turned around on the top of the sandy soil, looking for the hole of the spider demon. Under every red thorn, under every sour jujube tree and canopy tree, he did not let go.
The scorching sun shines on his head, the sand is hot and his feet are hot, and Dongsheng's thirsty throat is smoking. Qingliangjiang is on the east side of the sand top, he can't care to drink, see that there is a knotweed on the top of the sand, know that there is a water source below (folklore: where there is knotweed, there is a water source underground, digging a well can make good sweet water), according to the knotweed punch, a big pit appeared on the top of the sand, and the bottom of the pit flowed out of the clear water of the berth.
Dongsheng jumped down and drank enough, and continued to look for it.
Dongsheng punched the well, and at the same time shook the top of the sand a few times. The spider demon's cave was like an earthquake, and the earth fell down with a "bang".
The spider demon was scared this time. I thought to myself: How could he, a mortal, have so much strength? If you want to punch again, you have to collapse my cave.
Besides, if he continues to look for it for so long, he may find out sooner or later. It's better to eliminate him sooner to prevent future troubles.
The spider demon thought about it for a long time, and finally came up with a solution: lead him into the cave and kill him in the hole. There are no traces of a fight on the ground, no mountains and rivers are visible, and no one will know that it was their own doing.
Besides, there are eighteen forks in his cave, and even if he comes in, it will be difficult to find himself and the buckwheat girl. Knowing his own territory, no matter where he is hiding, he can catch him, and then spin silk to tie him up and slowly provide it for his own enjoyment, is it better than being guarded against it.
As soon as the spider demon thought so, he moved the stone blocking the entrance of the cave, and the top was still not moving, and the entrance of the cave became a suspended gravel, as long as a person stepped on it, he would fall into the hole without defense, and if he could not die, he would be broken by his legs and arms, and he would lose his ability to fight.
The spider demon thought beautifully, hid the buckwheat girl, and waited for Dongsheng to arrive in the cave.
Dongsheng turned the top of the sand and dirt around, but he didn't find the entrance of the spider demon's hole. He was so angry that he pinned the willow tree in his hand to his waist and picked up the shovel to scoop up the sand.
At this time, Dongsheng was already infinitely powerful, and a shovel wheel was fast. The shoveled sand is like a small waterfall, flowing in all directions.
shoveling and shoveling, suddenly his feet sank, and even the willow tree pinned to the body with the shovel fell into a big hole.
The hole is deep, but the speed of the fall is reduced due to the friction of the canopy. Dongsheng slid steadily to the bottom of the cave and was not injured at all.
Dongsheng opened his eyes and looked, the cave was very large, which could allow him to walk upright, and there was such a cave under a sandy hill, which must be the nest of the spider demon.
It was really a nowhere to find the iron shoes, and he fell out of the cave. Dongsheng couldn't help but be overjoyed, and raised his vigilance and walked towards the depths of the cave.
