Chapter 5 The Demon Bell Rings
Cao An's eyes fell on Yin Li, who had more air out and less air in, this was a very beautiful woman.
With bright eyes and bright teeth, skin like condensed fat, and a goose-egg-like face, except for being a little cold, she is definitely a beauty, but Cao An is also very helpless, it is this beautiful woman who almost killed herself just now.
After making sure that Yin Li no longer had the ability to fight to the death, Cao An squatted down and reached out to grab Yin Li's palm.
"I can kill you, but I can't save you, after all, I only learned Yanshi art, not Chinese medicine."
"Hey...... A beautiful woman, what a thief! Go in peace, and I'll bury you. ”
After hearing Cao An's words, the look in Yin Li's eyes disappeared completely, he closed his eyes unwillingly, and his ribs were broken and inserted into his heart and lungs.
Cao An sat on the side, his eyes slightly closed, his treasure was solemn, and he had words in his mouth: "Heaven and earth are natural, the filth is scattered, the cave is mysterious, and the ...... is dangling."
It is a Taoist supernatural mantra.
This is almost a knee-jerk instinctive reaction, and the habits that have been cultivated for more than ten years will probably not be changed for a while.
What Cao An didn't know was that as he chanted the incantation, a dense blue flame void appeared, rushing towards the smoke that was condensing above Yin Li's corpse, and in an instant, it was like snow meeting the sun, completely dissipating the heavens and the earth in the unwilling poignant sound.
Cao An opened his eyes and glanced around suspiciously.
"It feels like there's some kind of sound, delusion?"
frowned, just thinking that he had auditory hallucinations under his nervousness, so he took advantage of the night to carry the woman out of Chiba Town, looking for a yin mansion to bury, and did not dare to erect a monument.
After doing all this, the sky was already white, Cao An carefully disposed of the traces and rushed back, drilled back to the stone workshop, closed the door, was really a little tired, and fell asleep.
The experience of this day was even more ups and downs than the experience of my previous life for decades.
experienced life and death, and also experienced the first murder and burial of corpses, and the mental wear and tear far outweighed the physical exhaustion.
Dangdang~
I don't know how long I slept, but I heard the demon bell in my ears, which was a bronze bell standing in the center of the town, and under normal circumstances, there was an old man who specialized in caring for it to eat and live there.
The bronze bell is special, the bell rings, bringing a kind of palpitation from the bottom of the heart, so that no one can ignore it, Cao An in his sleep only feels that the hair is upside down, as if facing a great enemy, a carp jumped up from the bed.
"The bell rings three times? Level 3 Beast Tide? ”
Like Cao An, he pushed the door out as soon as possible, and the suspicious people stood all over the alleyway.
"How is it possible, there hasn't even been a second-level beast tide in the town for many years."
"Could it be a mistake?"
"Your mother-in-law made a mistake, and the demon bell can't be wrong."
"Level 3 beast tide, what is the town going to block."
"It's not like I haven't had it before, so I didn't come here anyway."
"You know that was ...... before"
In the midst of the chaos of people's words, a burly man came out of the crowd, Cao An's memory has him, the captain of the guard team in Tic-tac-toe Lane, and everyone called him Tie Niu.
"Quiet, all the young and strong, go home and pick up your weapons immediately, whether you use a kitchen knife or a hoe, as long as you can use it to kill those beasts, take the good guys, and follow me to the stone field to gather." The man's voice drowned out all the noise.
"Why? The beast tide is the business of your escort team, and Lao Tzu is not a escort team, why should he go with you? In the crowd, a lean man shouted at the top of his voice.
Before he could finish speaking, he saw the Iron Bull walking straight towards him and snatching him out of the crowd.
"Provoke your mother, you dog miscellaneous, rush forward with green eyes when you have a benefit, and when something happens, you are the first to run, this is his mother's third-level beast tide, and the escort team is only two hundred people, what can you do? If you dare to run today, the big knife in Lao Tzu's hand is the first to refuse, do you want to go? ”
After speaking, he threw the thin man directly on the ground, and the four-finger-wide blade rested on his neck.
"Go, go, I'm definitely going."
Getting the answer, Tie Niu snorted coldly, put away the big knife, the lean guy had palpitations, he understood that Tie Niu would really cut himself just now.
Tie Niu turned around, "Lao Tzu is an iron-striker, I can't say anything big, but one thing Lao Tzu knows, everyone works together, we still have the possibility of driving away those beasts, the heart is not aligned, just wait for a town of people to be eaten, if earlier, there is still a chance to run away, but now, the town demon bell has sounded, it means that the whole town has been surrounded by those beasts, either desperately survive, or everyone will finish playing together." ”
It was not an exhilarating speech, but it was true, and as the men returned to their homes in silence, they walked spontaneously towards the stone field with their fellows in their hands.
Cao An knew that he couldn't hide, so he returned home, took out the kitchen knife, and tightened the puppet Dian Wei in his arms, which was his only hole card, and followed behind the crowd.
Inexplicably, I thought of a sentence: Taoist priest, a dog at the beginning, all the equipment depends on picking up!
Feeling a little embarrassed, he touched the puppet Dian Wei in his arms again, which was considered to be appeasement, although the puppet had no wisdom.
The stone field is at the entrance of the town, the whole town is surrounded by high walls, although it is not as strong as the big city, but it is better than the solid, since the human race was born in this world, the battle with the demon beast has not stopped, but where the human race lives, there are high walls to defend.
From the outside, you can see that on the boulders piled up into a high wall, there are dense traces of demon beasts, including claw marks, tooth marks, and horn marks...... After Cao An crossed over, he passed by there a few times, and he felt quite shocked at the time.
Chiba Town, the city is five feet high, and there are only two gates in the entire town, which are all closed now, and the oppressive atmosphere lingers in everyone's hearts.
No one said anything, and they all quietly followed their respective team leaders up to the high wall, and the team leaders assigned tasks.
These escorts have almost completely given up farming, receive a fixed salary every month, and have a military formation that is dedicated to training, patrolling the town, and having a lot of dealings with demon beasts.
Cao An was assigned to the arrow tower, and there was also a stocky guy with dark skin, knotted limbs, and a little childish on his face, if he didn't look too smart, he would definitely be a right-hand man.
Cao An poked his head out and looked beyond the high wall.
With just one glance, the whole person almost couldn't breathe it in, and the feeling of suffocation swept through the whole body, as if it had suddenly fallen into the water.
Outside the high wall, there were dense black and oppressive demon beasts, which were really surging like beasts, they did not move at the moment, but were entrenched in the land several miles away from the city wall, as if waiting for something.
"That's tens of thousands, right? There are only a thousand young and strong people in the town, and even if they rely on the benefits of the high walls, they may not be able to hold it. ”
In the face of such a battle, Dian Wei in his arms failed to give him much security for the first time.
"Brother Cao, are you scared?" It was the little fat man in front of him who spoke.
"Uh, huh? Do you recognize me? Cao An didn't remember this little fat man.
"You don't remember me? I'm heavy. ”
The name Shen Chong is a little familiar, and it is a little far-reaching in memory, for a long time, Cao An thought about it for a while, "You are the little fat man of Uncle Shen's family?" ”
Shen Chonghan smiled and touched his head, "That's right, it's me." ”
"What happened next? You're still in town, why haven't I seen you? ”
The Shen family was from outside, and lived in another house of the Li family at that time, Cao An was often arranged to send some food over there, and he got acquainted with the little fat man Shen Zhong as soon as he came and went, I remember that he was still fat in vain at that time, Lao Shen is a middle-aged man who is not smiling and handsome, and he is half of Cao An's teacher, when he taught the little fat man to read and write, he also taught Cao An a few lessons by the way.
People are so close, at least, compared to Li Lianshan, the squire who holds the head of the house, he is too kind.
The little fat man's brain is not very good, and he follows Cao An's ass all day long.
The Shen family stayed in the town for about half a year, and one day at noon, a large group of soldiers and horses entered the Shen family, and left after tea, no one knew what happened, only that no one had seen their family since then.
"They were all sent by the dog officials in the Shendu, killed my father and aunt, I was taken to Song Zhenjiang's house in advance, and I escaped a catastrophe, and since then, I have become an arrow slave in the town, Uncle Song didn't let me appear in the town casually, saying that he was worried that I would be implicated in the events of the year."
The town general is actually not an official position in the town, he doesn't care about anything at all on weekdays, he just raises a small team of soldiers, and if there is no major incident in the town, it will not appear, although there are also yamen and public people in the town, but only for this small team of soldiers and horses.
And the arrow slave is also called the arrow tower slave, is specially trained to guard the arrow tower, very mysterious, it is said to be a secret matter in the imperial court, ordinary people do not know, even if it is a local official, do not dare to interfere, has always been in charge of the military department. The crossbow used to ward off the tide of beasts in this arrow tower is not something that anyone can pull out.
No wonder he has changed so much.
"I see!" Cao An didn't ask any more, according to the situation back then, either the court battle failed, or the enemy sought revenge, in this world, such a thing is normal.
Cao An patted his head, 'Hey...... Another cause and effect. ’
"Brother Cao, you don't have to be afraid, I'm very powerful now, I will protect you."
