Chapter 11: Confronting Terror
Lu Yan is not optimistic about this.
If the murderer who killed Zhao Zhuang and his wife was really the monster two years ago, then the Liu family failed to kill them two years ago, and it would not be so easy now.
This time, the red-clothed guards came quickly, and they came in a team, a full ten people.
However, Zhang Jun and Chen Ji are not among them.
The red-clothed guard carefully examined the bodies of Zhao Zhuang and his wife, and two of them wrapped their bodies in mats and carried them away.
"Villagers, don't panic, it's just that Jiang Yang committed a crime, and the Liu family has dispatched a military army, and they will be able to arrest him soon."
A red-clothed guard said loudly, calming everyone's emotions.
Sure enough, the villagers were relieved when they heard this.
Only the indigenous villagers still can't hide their fear.
"Also, if anyone spreads rumors again, they will not be spared."
The red-clothed guard left a cold sentence at the end, his eyes scanning everyone like a knife, and then strode away.
"Outside the city, it's getting more and more dangerous, and you have to save money to buy a house in the city as soon as possible."
Lu Yan whispered.
On the way back, the family of three was worried.
"Father, mother, these days, you don't go out to work, stay at home, if something goes wrong, you will hide in the cellar."
Lu Yan advised.
"Yan'er, you still want to go hunting?" Wang Cui said worriedly.
"Mother, it's okay, even if there is a monster, the monster seems to be haunting at night, and if it doesn't show up during the day, I will return in the evening."
Lu Yan said.
Go home and grab a hunting bow and go into the mountains to hunt.
In the evening, Lu Yan carried two mountain deer home.
There was nothing to do that night, and on the second day, Lu Yan continued to hunt in the mountains, and returned in the afternoon to bring the prey to the city and sell it.
In this way, even after seven days, nothing happened, and the hearts of the villagers gradually relaxed.
Late at night, the crescent moon hangs, and the dim moonlight scatters.
Lu Yan suddenly woke up.
During this time, he had been on high alert when he slept at night, and just now, he heard a strange noise.
It was an extremely strange and complex sound, as if it was whispering, as if it was roaring, with pain and unwillingness, and with a hint of excitement.
It was very close to Lu Yan's house, and it seemed to be from their neighbor Zhang Dafu's family.
Lu Yan's house is on the edge of the mountain village, close to the wooden fence, and on the side, there are several neighbors, one is the sister-in-law's family, and the other is Zhang Dafu's family.
"Is it a monster?"
Lu Yanxin lifted it.
He got up and picked up his hunting bow, hung up his arrows, and was ready to fight.
Zhang Dafu's house is very close to his house, if it is really a monster, he may come to their house at any time.
As soon as something was wrong, he immediately woke up his parents and hid in the cellar.
Although it may not be useful to hide in the cellar, it does have an extra layer of insurance.
But after a while, that voice was not close, and it was still in Zhang Dafu's house.
Driven by curiosity, Lu Yan was bold, gently opened the door, and walked out.
The voice was very soft, even in the night sky, Lu Yan's hearing was far beyond ordinary people, otherwise he couldn't hear it at all.
Then, he climbed a large locust tree next to his house, hid in the luxuriant leaves, and looked condescendingly at Zhang Dafu's house.
At a glance, Lu Yan's skin suddenly exploded, and his hairs stood up.
Zhang Dafu's family is doing extremely strange things.
A family of four, standing side by side in the courtyard, their eyes widened, their eyes hollow, and their mouths muttered to themselves, as if they were sleepwalking.
The next moment, Zhang Dafu stretched out his finger and actually picked out his eyeballs, his strength seemed to be surprisingly great, and he pulled out his eyeballs stiffly.
The strange thing is that Zhang Dafu didn't say a word, and there was no trace of pain on his face, as if he didn't pick out his own eyes.
And his wife and children stood aside with a blank face.
After Zhang Dafu picked out his eyeballs, he held them in the palms of his hands, as if he wanted to give them to someone.
Suddenly, in the shadows of the courtyard, a long-necked head stretched out.
This is clearly a human neck, but it is two meters long, and on the neck is an ugly face, with excitement, and it seems to be mixed with a trace of pain, open his mouth and suck, Zhang Dafu's two eyeballs are sucked into his mouth, chewed, a picture of enjoyment.
After eating, the neck shrunk back and disappeared into the shadows.
Immediately afterwards, Zhang Dafu's wife also began to pick her eyeballs...
"Ghosts, monsters..."
Lu Yan only felt his heart beat faster and felt a chill.
It can be determined that it was this monster that killed Zhao Zhuang and his wife, and now, here it is again.
His left hand clenched the hunting bow tightly, and his muscles were exposed.
He resisted the urge to make a move.
The gate lord Liu has failed to kill it many times, and the strength of this monster is definitely far beyond him, if he makes a move, he will definitely die.
At that time, not only will he die, but Lu Qingshan and Wang Cui may not be spared.
Forbearance, now there is only forbearance.
Zhang Dafu's family, one by one, picked out their eyeballs and gave them to the monster to eat, and then numbly walked into the living room, hung the rope on the beam, and hung himself up, and soon lost his breath.
At this moment, a figure stepped out of the shadows.
It was a middle-aged man, burly, with a strange expression on his face, as if he was in pain, as if he was excited, and as if he was struggling.
It's not this one that's really weird, it's his chest.
He also had a head on his chest, and a long neck that stretched and stretched freely, dangling like a snake's head.
His hands did not look like human hands, shriveled like zombies, with long nails, as sharp as a blade, and he took out Zhang Dafu's heart at random and handed it to the head on his chest, which bit off half of it and chewed it excitedly.
Then, he handed the rest of his heart to the other head, but this one roared, his face twisted and struggling, and he kept shaking his head as if resisting.
The head on his chest seemed to sneer, swallowing the rest of his heart in one gulp.
Next, dig out the heart of the second person.
Lu Yan's muscles were tense, his body was already wet with cold sweat, and his breathing couldn't help but get worse.
Suddenly, the monster turned around suddenly, and the head on its chest stared straight in the direction where Lu Yan was.
"It's not good, it's been discovered."
Lu Yan secretly said that it was not good, and his arm was suddenly forced, so he had to strike first.
But the monster opened its big mouth full of fangs, and let out a silent fluctuation, the speed of the fluctuation was extremely fast, and it swept towards Lu Yan in an instant.
Lu Yan felt his head sink and became drowsy.
"It's not good, I can't sleep."
Lu Yan bit the tip of his tongue, and the stinging pain made him sober up a little, and then he drummed up the qi and blood of his whole body to make himself completely sober.
Bend the bow and shoot an arrow.
But the monster was suddenly covered with black mist, and then with a palm, a cold and incomparably cold force instantly crossed a distance of dozens of meters and blasted towards Lu Yan.
Before that power came, Lu Yan felt a tingling pain in his skin, like a sword approaching him.
Fast, too fast, so fast that Lu Yan is difficult to dodge.
At the critical moment, he subconsciously raised his iron bow to block in front of him.
While!
The iron bow was deformed, and Lu Yan felt as if he had been hit by a big truck, and his body was thrown backwards, slamming heavily on the ground, and a mouthful of blood spurted out.
What was terrifying was that a cold and strange force burrowed into his body and kept swimming in his body.
"What sound?"
"Yan'er, is that you?"
The movement just now has awakened Lu Qingshan and his wife.
The blow didn't kill Lu Yan, the monster seemed to be surprised, revealing a strong killing intent, jumped up, and came towards Lu Yan.
"It's over, are you going to die at the hands of this monster today?"
Thinking of Zhao Zhuang and his wife, Zhang Dafu's tragic situation, Lu Yan was unwilling.
But his strength is too far from this monster, and there is no hope.
Sou! Sou! Sou!
At this moment, several arrows flew through the air, piercing the night sky like meteors.
The target is a monster.
The monster was startled and dodged two arrows, only to be pierced by a third.
Immediately afterwards, outside the fence of the mountain village, figures jumped in.
These figures, carrying war bows, are tall and burly, all of them are more than one meter nine tall, and they are military troops.
Liu's military army.
Among the martial forces, there are also a few red figures, which are the masters of the red guards.
The monster turned around and ran, his legs seemed to be loaded with springs, one step of more than ten meters, and with a bang, the wooden fence was like paper paste, and it was knocked out of a big hole.
The monster escaped from the village and rushed towards the mountains.
"Chase!"
"Don't let him run away."
"This time we must take it."
The Wu army and the masters of the Red Guards chased after them with the same astonishing speed, and soon, the village returned to peace.
"Yan'er, Yan'er... Are you okay? ”
The calls of Wang Cui and Lu Qingshan sounded in the room, full of worry.
Lu Yan wiped the blood stains from the corners of his mouth, walked into the house, and said, "Dad, mother, I'm fine." ”
Seeing that Lu Yan was fine, the second elder was relieved and asked what was going on just now.
"There seems to be a monster, but the martial arts master of the Liu clan went to chase after it."
Lu Yan said.
"The monster is here again?"
Wang Cui's face turned pale, and her voice trembled a little.
"There are a lot of masters from the Liu family, and they should be able to kill that monster, mother, don't worry."
Lu Yan comforted.
The whole village was awakened by the movement just now, but no one dared to come out to check it, hiding in the house in fear.
"That cold power is gone."
Lu Yan checked his body and found that the power that had just entered his body was gone, and he didn't find the qi and blood running.
Lu Yan breathed a sigh of relief.
Then Lu Yan heard footsteps outside, and there were more than a dozen people.
When Lu Yan walked out of the door, he saw a team of red-clothed guards.
This time, Zhang Jun and Chen Ji were among them.
The red-clothed guard held a torch and checked at Zhang Dafu's house, and then Zhang Jun and Chen Ji walked towards Lu Yan, obviously seeing Lu Yan as well.
"Little brother Lu Yan, what did you see?"
Zhang Jun asked.
"I only saw a black shadow at a cursory glance, and he was chased and killed by the military army and fled into the mountains."
Lu Yan replied.
"I'm glad I didn't touch it, otherwise it would have been dangerous." Zhang Jundao, his face solemn.
"Brother Jun, what the hell is that?" Lu Yan asked.
"The lord of the Liu family has given an order not to leak it, so don't ask more."
Zhang Jun waved his hand, pondered for a moment, and then said two words softly: "Martial Spirit." ”
After saying that, he walked away quickly.
