Chapter 257: Round-up (1)
There are two roads in front of and behind Wenfoshan Mountain, we came up from the front mountain before, and there is a small road behind the mountain.
Brother Gua took the two of us down the path, all the way to the direction where there was fire, and there were also guards on the back mountain, but when I saw Brother Gua's small eye, I didn't dare to stop it.
We walked for more than an hour and went down the mountain without any problems.
But the so-called Wangshan ran a dead horse, and the place where the fire lit up was not far from the top of Wenshan Mountain, but when it really walked, it was much farther than expected, and what was even worse was that the mountain road did not extend in that direction at all. We had to abandon the mountain road, burrow into the woods, and trek in that direction with difficulty.
Most of the mountains in the Yichang area are stone mountains, very steep, cliffs are everywhere, we walked for a long time and found that we did not leave Wenfo Mountain too far at all.
The only thing to worry about is that Guago's tracking ability is very strong, and he can always find the best route, and we also have ropes, so we haven't taken too far to get there, otherwise, God knows when we will get there.
Up and down the hill, we reached the periphery of the fire in the middle of the night.
Gua Ge found a place on relatively high ground, and while letting us rest, we looked at the surrounding environment.
The fat man and I were both tired, it took a lot of physical energy, and I was a little better, but the fat man collapsed directly on the ground, and only the sound of panting remained.
Brother Gua looked at it for a while, then turned back to me and said, "That thing is probably not going to be hunted down and sank into the pond." ”
As soon as I heard this, I hurriedly got up again and walked to the side of Gua Ge and lay down, looking down.
Sure enough, about a few hundred meters away from us, there was a large pond, the size of two basketball courts, and many people were busy at the pond, using buckets to bring out the water inside, and then pour it into a trench to divert the water away.
There are torches around, so you can see everything clearly.
"It seems that they have just moved here, and they must have faced each other at the Temple of Wen Buddha before." Guagodao.
I nodded, and it was evident from the water level of the pond that there were not many people going down, so it could be seen that they had not been drawing water for a long time, and the buckets in their hands were all made of wood, which was obviously freshly made, which showed that they had no time to prepare the tools.
If there is enough time, with Miao Hai's power, not to mention a tool for lifting water, it will be a piece of cake to get a pump.
"So what do we do now?" I asked.
"Wait, regain your strength!" Guagodao.
I nodded, the situation is not clear at the moment, and the most important thing is that Bai Xiangyue asked me to come here to find her, but she has not shown up until now, and she is completely confused.
In the second half of the night, we lurked in place to regain our strength and took turns to sleep.
I went to sleep in the second half of the way, and when I woke up at dawn, I found that there was some fog in front of me, and it was a white fog again, which was the same as the one I encountered under Wenfo Mountain before, and it was filamentous.
It's a lot lighter and doesn't affect visibility much.
I turned over and sat up, and at this time I found that the fat man had already gotten up, and was lying next to Brother Gua and looking down, and when he looked back and saw me awake, he said to me: "Come and see, the water below has almost been released, and the results are about to come out!" ”
I hurriedly walked over and found that this was indeed the case, the pond below had shrunk a lot, and only a puddle with a diameter of less than ten meters remained, and Miao Hai's men were still busy, constantly lifting water outside like ants.
And in the busy crowd, about seven or eight people were on guard with crossbow arrows, surrounding the pond. In addition, I also found Miao Hai's figure, he was constantly walking around, looking very anxious, and the black and white were standing behind him.
"Let's get over there, don't let them find out!" Guagodao.
The fat man and I nodded, and followed him to the other side of the pond. After walking cautiously for more than half an hour, he approached the pond and hid in a bush.
At this time, I realized that the crossbow arrows in those people's hands were not ordinary crossbow arrows, especially the arrows, which were silver-white, with many inscriptions carved on them, and looked extraordinary.
"Damn, they actually used Mithril arrows, they are really willing to spend their blood!" The fat man suppressed his volume, but still raised it several times, and was extremely surprised.
"What is Mithril Arrow?" I wondered.
The fat man explained: "Mithril is a very valuable thing, the value is a hundred times that of gold, it is accompanied by silver mines, it is very rare, and the refining skills are only mastered by a few families, it has a strong effect of destroying demons and punishing evil, ghosts and ghosts, demons and monsters are afraid of it, and it is very lethal to them!" ”
"A hundred times more expensive than gold?"
I was astonished when I heard it, it was so scary, those crossbow arrows were the thickness of a little finger, a foot long, a hundred times, how much gold would it take to be worth? And around the pond, there are eight pairs!
"I'm not talking about volume, I'm talking about weight, in fact, the same volume of Mithril is much heavier than gold, and it is useless after using it once, and it cannot be reused." The fat man said again.
"Nima, rich enough." The corners of my mouth twitched, and for the first time I had a little intuitive impression of the financial resources of this kind of family.
Brother Gua smiled slightly when he heard this, and said: "Actually, Mithril is seven times heavier than gold, and if they shoot in one round, I am afraid that they will go into tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of yuan, which is indeed a lot of money." ”
Thousands of alpacas are running wild in my heart, this Nima is the gap between the rich and the poor, the rich don't treat money as money at all, and the poor who don't have money jingle loudly, such as Hongcun, many people still live with their backs to the loess.
The village built a small cement road, with a budget of only more than 300,000 yuan, but the village was stunned and did not build it for seven or eight years.
300,000 vs. tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of shots in one round!!
I have to admit that I was a little unbalanced at this moment.
Trying to calm down, I came back to my senses and asked Brother Gua, "How do you know so clearly?" ”
Brother Gua smiled and said, "Because my demon slaying pestle is made of Mithril, but it is not a one-time one." With this, he took out a demon-slaying pestle and handed it to me.
I took it carefully, and sure enough, I found that it was so heavy, and the thing that was two fingers long and two fingers thick was several times heavier than my pig-killing knife that was more than two feet long and four fingers wide.
At this time, this demon pestle also attracted the attention of the fat man, I also looked carefully, it is completely created in the style of the demon pestle, antique, there are dense flying Sanskrit engravings on it, at a glance you know that it is a cultural relic, and the time is definitely not short.
The pestle body is not big but exudes a fierce aura, it feels like it has been detected in the sea of corpses and blood, and the gauntlet is in the shape of a ghost head, which looks like it has been pierced by the pestle, lifelike, and makes people feel like the real thing.
"This thing should be something from the ancient Tianzhu era." The fat man said very seriously.
Brother Gua glanced at the fat man, seemed to be a little surprised by the fat man's determination, nodded and said, "Yes." ”
I was even more surprised in my heart, Gu Tianzhu, wasn't that the era of the Tang Dynasty, this time is too long, and the most important thing is that the demon pestle still looks as bright as new.
We looked at it for a while, and then Brother Gua took back the demon pestle, put it in his hand, opened his mouth and was about to say something, but suddenly his face changed, and he said, "Be careful behind your back!" ”
The fat man and I hurriedly turned around and were taken aback at first glance.
It's a corpse!
It's just that these are not wolf corpses, but a pack of wild boars. The whole body is rotting, the eyes are white, like the eyes of a dead fish, and the saliva is constantly dripping from the mouth of the bared teeth, staring at us deadly.
"Roar!"
Soon, one of the corpses in the lead roared and pounced directly on us, and as soon as it moved, it led the others to come towards us in unison.
"Withdraw, don't resist!" Brother Gua's face turned pale.
These dead wild boars are no bigger than wolves, and their momentum is naturally much fiercer than that of wolves.
My scalp was numb, and I hurriedly pulled out the pig-killing knife and retreated, all on guard.
Exposure is already an inevitable thing, because there is a pond behind us, and the movement of the corpse will inevitably attract the attention of Miao Hai's subordinates who are close in front of us.
But at this time, we can't care so much, and the corpse turned into a wild boar pounces in front of us!
Gua Ge took the lead in counterattacking, his figure flashed, and the big boar that pounced on the very sharp thorns of the demon pestle was the first to pounce, and it penetrated directly into its head and was directly put down.
But at this moment, at the same time, two wild boars jumped up with the overwhelming momentum of Mount Tai and pounced directly on Gua Ge. Brother Gua's face changed, his steps deviated slightly, kicked at the boar, and jumped backwards with his strength.
I didn't have time to look at him anymore, for two wild boars were coming at me at the moment. I jumped to the side and dodged, but the two boars, though they were large, were still a little worse than the wolves, and they didn't hit me, so I hurriedly hid behind a tree.
Then the boar pounced on me behind the tree, and I took advantage of their lack of synchronization and weakness to slash at the nearest one, but unfortunately I was hit, but I could not completely avoid its head.
The pig's head is so hard that it's only split in half!
When I couldn't do a single blow, another boar seized the opportunity and flew straight at me.
I didn't have time to think about it, I didn't even want a knife, and rolled directly to the side.
"Zila", I only felt that the clothes behind me suddenly tightened, and when I landed, I found that the clothes on my back were torn open by the fangs of wild boars.
I'm almost scratched by fangs!!
I broke out in a cold sweat, the first time I encountered such a thrilling scene, life and death were in an instant.
"Haruko, hurry up the tree!" At this time, the voice of the fat man came from above.
I looked up, and found that the fat man was quite good at running for his life, and actually climbed up the tree, and the three wild boars besieging him were two of them spinning around, and one was gnawing at the big tree, but looking at the thickness of the tree, I am afraid it is enough to choke.
"Stupid!" I cursed myself and hurried to the nearest tree.
The two wild boars behind me also reacted and quickly chased after me, one of which still had my pig-killing knife embedded in its head!
Fortunately, I was not far from the tree, seven or eight steps away, jumped up, directly grabbed the lowest branch and threw myself and ran straight up, at this time there was another sound of cloth tearing, and my pants were bitten and torn, almost I took me down.
I climbed up for a while without stopping, and I couldn't help but sweat on my forehead.
Second!!
This thing has a strong corpse poison, and if you get scratched, you will die.
When I came back to my senses, I looked at Gua Ge again, and found that he was much more violent, and although he was also forced to go up the tree, three wild boars were already lying under the tree.
In addition, I also found that not only the three of us were sneak attacked, but also those Miao Hai's men scattered around the pond were also sneak attacked, and the scene was chaotic.
Miao Hai's big eyes and small eyes were yelling and directing his men to fight back.
There were a lot of corpses, all sorts of things, pythons, goats, bison, and even a few monkeys, and they would go up trees, but luckily they didn't come to us.
I couldn't help but look at the pond, and thought to myself, could it be the corpse summoned by the thing in the pond?
As soon as his mind arose, he saw movement in the pond, and a monster with many hands and feet jumped out of it with a "boom".
Hands, feet, heads...... Both, but there's more than one!
I don't know how many hands there are, just like the thousand-armed Guanyin, there are also a lot of feet, dense, and the head is the same, the whole is a monster spliced with human stumps, which looks particularly weird and terrifying!
I was dumbfounded, what is this Nima?!
