Chapter 36: The Lake Beast
After that, Evan accepted the warmest hospitality from the villagers, and they used various excuses to make Evan drink glass after glass of wine, but all of them entered Evan World. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Looking at their eyes, Evan guessed their purpose, so he pretended to be drunk and lay down on the table.
Under the black worm's view, the villagers tied him firmly with ropes and carried him to the lake.
The lake at night is very different from the day, there is no wind, but the lake is choppy, in the lake, from time to time there are bursts of chirping, the villagers put Ai Wen on the ground, retreat into the distance, since the monster has shown signs of awakening, no one dares to come here at night, and this time, they all showed puzzled expressions.
Whether it is a legend or a childhood memory, only the waves on the surface of the lake are mentioned, but even when the monster is awake, it never chirps.
At this moment, a huge head poked out of the lake, and in the dark night, the pair of beast eyes were frighteningly bright.
The villagers exchanged a look, and in the record, even when the villagers breached the contract, this monster only showed its body for a moment while capturing the sacrifice, but this time, it was completely different.
The two bright lights instantly became larger, and in less than a minute, the monster had already swam to the shore, and its strong limbs told everyone that it was not just a monster in the water, and the villagers carefully pushed Aiwen's body, but at the moment before Aiwen arrived in front of the monster, it bit a villager violently and swallowed it in one gulp.
The villagers were stunned, if it was in the past, the monster would have chosen the humans that the villagers had pushed it to bring back to the bottom of the lake, and this time, it actually devoured people on the shore who were not sacrificed.
Only Ai Wen could see that behind it, there was a huge wound, and while devouring humans, the wound healed quickly, but it didn't take long for the wound to festered again, oozing beast blood.
Looking at its wounds, Evan suddenly remembered the giant wolf's eyes that had been injured by the Oriental Boy.
The other villagers immediately came to their senses, they ran around the village crying, but the screams came one after another, and at the speed of the monsters far higher than them, these villagers could only die in the mouths of the beasts.
At this time, its gaze turned to Ai Wen, who was not moving.
Just as it jumped towards Aven, pitch-black beasts drilled out of the black cracks, and one by one the black beasts slashed their hands, breaking the rope on Aven's body into several pieces.
Looking at the herds of black beasts and the humans in front of them, the monsters instinctively realized their threat, but at this time, the voice of the village chief came from the village. The monster gave up the difficult Evan and followed the sound.
"Oh no!" Evan hurriedly chased, he thought that the monster would choose to jump back into the water or confront him head-on, but he didn't expect the monster to be lured away by the voices of others.
In terms of combat effectiveness alone, Aven is not afraid of it, but compared to speed, Aven will definitely not be able to catch up with it without inhaling the key.
The screams kept coming to Evan's ears, and when he entered the village, the monster had already destroyed all the houses, and the sounds around him were full of crying and wailing, but what really shocked him was the village chief who bit the monster's neck.
With each swallow of Willy's throat, the monster shrank by a bit, and finally, the whole monster was sucked into his mouth.
"It's wonderful!" Willy put a hand in front of him, and that hand, with sharp claw scales, turned back into an arm in the next moment. "That kid is right, now I, what I eat, what I get. ”
"Thank you, Honorable Luminous Emissary. The village chief bowed deeply, "If it weren't for you, that monster wouldn't have been lured ashore at all, and in that case, I wouldn't have been able to catch it, now, please get out of here, and I'll eat more while the effect of the medicine hasn't disappeared." ”
As he spoke, he pounced on the villagers who had just relaxed, and the screams came one after another, while Evan just watched him quietly, without any intention of stopping him, until he pounced on a child.
In Aiwen's heart, most of the adults in this village are guilty, but the children are different, from birth to the present, they have not participated in a single life sacrifice, and they should not die.
"I don't know why you killed your villagers, but these children, they should be innocent. Ai Wen stopped in front of the village chief and stared at his eyes quietly, judging from the fact that the village chief did not sneak attack himself, the village chief ate people, most likely not for power.
"Innocent? You say there are innocent people in this village?!" the village chief laughed, "Can these unearned fellows be innocent when they eat what they have bought in exchange for human life? These people who would rather lie comfortably on other people's corpses than move to other places to try to survive can be called innocent? Aren't those strangers who pass by innocent? If you have just been swallowed by that monster, aren't you innocent? In the roar, the village chief's face had already distorted, and the hatred was so strong that in his eyes, a blazing flame ignited.
"You're not doing this for any kind of justice. At this time, Evan remembered the painting in the village chief's room, and he remembered that the main character in the painting was a young, lively girl.
"Sense of justice?" the village chief's smile turned bitter, "depending on your age, you don't have any children yet, Mr. Lightling? When he said this, the anger in his eyes disappeared, and his expression softened, "A lively, cute, and righteous girl." ”
"Has she been chosen as the object of the living sacrifice?" Evan wondered, he had heard the conversation of the villagers, and knew that in recent decades, none of the villagers had been used as a living sacrifice.
"No, but she was still killed by these lazy, selfish, ignorant stupid pigs. He smashed the wall with a punch, "And the reason they killed her was because of her sense of justice, because she was the only person in the village who refused to go along with it." ”
From the mouth of the village chief, Evan learned the story.
When he was young, the village chief once persuaded the villagers to leave this sinful place and live on their own, but the villagers used their homeland to prevaricate him.
So, he left the village and traveled all over the Far East, and during the journey, he learned that although the people outside the village did not live without work, their lives were incomparably full and colorful.
After that, he returned to his hometown and told about the beauty, excitement, and colorfulness of life outside, but these things that had been instilled by generations of thoughts, just to eat and reproduce, did not respond to his words.
Again, he left, and a few years later, with his savings for several years, he returned to his hometown with a strong man, but he did not tell the strong man about the crimes committed by the villagers.
