Chapter 257: Evil Ghosts
Shortly after the exhortation to Phoebe, Locke arrives in a new world, and looking at the ordinary woods around him, he begins to use magic to investigate.
"The overall environment is similar to that of ancient times, and there are no traces of supernatural power at present." Thinking so, Locke suddenly raised his eyebrows and walked in one direction.
Moving quickly, the situation of a village in the distance also fell into Locke's mind.
"There is only so much food left in the village."
"There's really no more."
Numerous villagers pleaded in front of a group of samurai.
"You can ...... if you don't have enough food," said the leading samurai, seemingly nonchalantly, "but call out all the young girls you are hiding, or ......"
The villagers all had a cowardly look on their faces, and in the face of the persecution of this group of samurai, they could only keep begging for mercy, they did hide the young women in the village before, but they didn't expect to be seen at a glance.
"Boom!" At this time, these samurai all pulled out their long knives one by one and made a threatening posture.
This was not the first time they had robbed the village, and although the number of villagers here was less than one-tenth of the number of them, any samurai could easily deal with seven or eight villagers who only had farm tools, and how could these villagers have the courage to resist.
In the face of the bright sword light, the faces of these villagers showed a look of fear, and many people's hearts had begun to waver.
At this time, an old man who was already not young stood up and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, please don't be angry, the girls in the village are now hiding in the deep mountains in the distance, and it takes most of the day to come and go." ”
"Village Chief!"
Some villagers shouted out in a hurry, but they were quickly pressed down by the village station, and he made a helpless look and said: "The road in the deep mountains is relatively secret, so it is better for me to lead the way for the adults." ”
The samurai leader led by "Hehehe......" rolled his eyes and said, "Kimura, you accompany that old guy on a trip and bring people back, and the others are waiting here, since you said that it is most of the day, then if people can't come back tomorrow......"
The village chief's expression changed suddenly, he didn't expect this samurai leader to be so cautious, and he originally wanted to disperse the forces of these people, so that he could take advantage of the night, but now......
Just when the village chief hesitated, Locke's figure suddenly appeared in front of a group of people, his height of more than one meter eight, in this era when the average height is less than one meter six, can be said to be very conspicuous, and immediately attracted everyone's attention.
"Where did you come from?" Seeing that Locke was tall and strong, the leading samurai immediately stared at him with a wary face, and the other samurai also took out their weapons and aimed at the tall man who suddenly appeared.
"Are they all ordinary people, and I don't know where the monsters are going to look, so I still have to collect more information." Glancing, Locke thought to himself.
This time, his mission prompt is very simple, which is to destroy the monsters that have been a disaster for thousands of years, and most of the worlds where such monsters appear have restrained transcendentals.
And the background of ancient Japan here made Locke think of creatures like yokai.
"Hey, you guy, didn't you hear Lao Tzu ask you?"
Locke was tall, and his sudden appearance also startled the samurai leader, and now seeing that Locke didn't care about him at all, and he didn't seem to be carrying any weapons on his body, he had the courage to fight again.
"Quack!"
Locke, who was thinking about it, had a little upset, and the people around him didn't see Locke's movements, but they just felt a flower in front of him, and the head of the samurai leader moved, and blood sprayed out.
There is a thrill to fight with cold weapons at close range, and even though Locke has many more convenient spells, sometimes he can't help but do it.
"The leader is dead!"
"Oh my God!"
"Run!"
Seeing that their boss was killed so neatly, they didn't see it clearly at all, and these warriors were not stupid, and they knew that the strength of the person in front of them was very strong.
They were originally a group of wandering warriors who gathered together, and they didn't have the determination to fight to the death, and their kung fu was like birds and beasts scattering after a while.
But Locke, who was easy to chop, did not let go of these guys, his body rose and fell lightly, the long sword in his hand was waved, and his body shuttled, and more than a dozen samurai here were wiped off their necks one by one, and the whole process was clean and neat, all in one go.
The villagers on the side were stunned, and after a while, they swallowed their saliva with difficulty, and looked at the tall Locke with panic.
"Your Excellency." In the end, the village chief mustered up the courage and stepped forward and said, "Thank you for your help." ”
"I have some questions to ask." He casually put away the long sword made of temporary spells and asked bluntly.
"So it's really the Warring States period." Sitting in the grass hut of the village chief's house, after listening to the village chief's answer, Locke began to think.
When it comes to the thousand-year-old monsters in the mission, Locke's first thought is a monster world like Inuyasha, but when Locke asked, the village chief's answer made Locke feel that this was not the case.
"A man-eating monster, or evil spirit, suddenly appeared near the village, it only appeared at night, it was powerful and fierce, it fed on humans, and recently, women and children in the village have been eaten."
'Feeding on humans, an early food species?' No, those guys in the Eater plot can also exist during the day, so that's Demon Slayer? ’
"If you can help us deal with the man-eating ghosts, I can't thank you enough." The village chief said cautiously beside him at this time.
"Want me to help deal with the demons? Don't use me to feed him. Locke said and suddenly lit the teacup in front of him: "Otherwise, why do you need to be drugged?" ”
The village chief's expression was shocked, but he still tried his best to maintain his composure: "This adult, you are laughing, how can I ......?"
"Since you dare to plot against me, you naturally have to be prepared to pay the corresponding price." Locke took out the sword again and put it around the village chief's neck, "So tell me the whereabouts of that evil ghost now, maybe it will make your death a little better." ”
"Hahaha......" At this time, the village chief suddenly laughed: "Do you still want to deal with evil ghosts?" Humans can't be the ...... of demons' opponents"
"Poof!"
"I don't have time to listen to your nonsense, I already know what I should know." When asked about the whereabouts of the demon, Locke had already used the Ingestion Divine Mind, so he also learned about the demon.
"So it's really the Demon Slayer Blade, and this era is still hundreds of years ago, my mission is to kill the ghost king who is bent on Taoism?"
Thinking to himself, Locke didn't care what would happen to the village next, and went to a wooded place outside the village alone.
More than ten kilometers was only a moment's work for him, and after approaching, Locke smelled a faint smell of blood.
"That's why the village chief also wanted to bring those samurai here, and he seemed to be a smart man, but in the end he chose a dead end, most of them were frightened by the evil spirits here."
Thinking of the situation when the village chief faced the samurai before, Locke looked at the cave where the smell of blood came from not far away, and muttered to himself.
