Chapter 259: Demon Pawn
Chapter 259: Demon Pawn
Looking at all this he had caused, Leylin nodded with satisfaction.
I have to say that the power of the Yuan Technique "Flame Slash" is indeed powerful, but there are also disadvantages, and the Yuan Force consumed is too great.
"With this little bit of Yuan Force in my dantian at this time, I can only barely launch a 'Flame Slash'. In normal times, if you have to, you should use more ordinary martial arts moves and use ordinary imperial methods......"
Leylin thought, planning to stop here today. After all, if you stay longer, the night attack of the demon beast will begin. Although he is confident enough and not afraid, the less trouble the better.
Thinking like this, Lei Lin turned around and was about to go back, but saw a movement in the woods in front of him, and someone shouted: "Uncle Shuo, Brother Gui, I saw the fire, just ahead!"
In the midst of the sound, a hurried footsteps sounded in the woods, and dozens of firelights illuminated the night, quickly approaching the place where Lei Lin was.
"It seems that the action caused by my cultivation of 'Flame Slash' has alarmed the warriors in the village......"
Leylin's brow sank, it wasn't what he deliberately wanted to cause.
That is, in the time of a dozen breaths, the warriors of eight or nine Xingshui villages parted from the bushes and appeared in front of Lei Lin.
The eight or nine men were all fully armed, all dressed in steel armor, armed with swords, and each with a burning torch in his hand, which turned the night into day. And Wu Gui, the first warrior in the village, and Wu Shuo, the second warrior, are among them. When they saw Lei Lin, they were all stunned.
"Leylin, what are you doing here?"
Wu Shuo came to Xingshui Village on the second day in Leilin. I know Leylin. He is most familiar with Leylin. He recognized Lei Lin at once, and immediately asked with a serious face.
Lei Lin was about to open his mouth to explain, when a young warrior with a thick-backed broadsword suddenly stood up, stared at Lei Lin in annoyance, and shouted: "Lei Lin, didn't you hear the words of the village chief during the day? I dare to come out now!"
The young warrior opened his mouth and roared, which immediately caused the other warriors to say:
"Hmph, the little white face that I don't like, I can't forget it, and I'm here to make trouble for us!"
"Yes, Lei Lin, you didn't have the patience to protect the village, so you stayed in the village honestly, what did you come out for!"
"It doesn't matter if you're not afraid of death, but if something happens, don't say we're derelict in our duties!"
......
The people's hearts and spirits are not very good these days. At this time, Lei Lin was caught and simply vented. The more you speak, the more intense the rhetoric becomes.
Just when everyone was talking more and more, Wu Gui, who was speechless just now, suddenly yelled: "Shut up for me!"
Everyone was stunned, looking at Wu Gui in confusion, not knowing what was wrong with Wu Gui.
Wu Gui glanced at Lei Lin with complicated eyes, and said to everyone: "Since it's okay here, let's go." As he spoke, he didn't care about everyone, and strode away.
Wu Shuo looked at the figure of Wu Gui who was leaving, and then looked at Lei Lin, although he didn't understand what happened to Wu Gui, he still said: "What Wu Gui said is that according to the situation a few days ago, the time for the night attack of the demon beast is almost up, and we don't have any extra time to waste......"
As he spoke, Wu Shuo put the giant axe in his hand back on his back, and said to Lei Lin: "Lei Lin, it's very dangerous at night, you better go back quickly." ”
After speaking, Wu Shuo strode to follow Wu Gui's footsteps. The rest of the people looked at each other twice, and then they all ignored Lei Lin and followed this Wu Shuo.
Wu Gui, Wu Shuo and others from the appearance to the departure of no one, it can be said that they came in a hurry, and they went in a hurry, from beginning to end, during the whole process, Lei Lin didn't even insert a word.
Shaking his head with a wry smile, Lei Lin was too lazy to participate in their affairs, he only thought about his own cultivation, and also turned around and left the place......
......
Wu Gui's abnormal behavior today made Wu Shuo uneasy. After all, Wu Gui is the strongest warrior in the village and the only Four Elephants Martial Master, and whether Xingshui Village can survive the tribulation of these few days depends on Wu Gui.
Uneasy, Wu Shuo quickened his pace, and caught up with Wu Gui in a few steps.
"Agui, what's wrong with you today? You are all inexplicable, not at all like you used to be. ”
Wu Shuo didn't beat around the bush, and asked directly.
Wu Gui's mind was a little floating at this time, and he still couldn't turn around from the stimulation of being taught by Lei Lin during the day.
Although it was a secret contest, no one knew, and Lei Lin was obviously merciful and did not let him make a fool of himself in public. But Wu Gui has always been a first-day genius warrior in the village, he has attracted the attention of everyone since he was a child, and he has never been hit like this, so humiliated.
In addition, Wu Gui still can't figure it out, compared to the warriors in the village, Lei Lin looks thin and small, and from the perspective of qi and blood, he is only like a martial artist, but why can he have such terrifying power!
Hearing Wu Shuo's question, Wu Gui temporarily came back to his senses from thinking, but he hid his "haha" and smiled: "Uncle Wu Shuo, you are too careful, what can I do......?"
Wu Shuo couldn't rest assured, and was about to speak, but his face suddenly changed, and he looked ahead in horror.
Wu Gui was also taken aback when he saw Wu Shuo's expression: "Uncle Wu Shuo, what's wrong?" As he spoke, he followed Wu Shuo's gaze, but he was also immediately taken aback.
I saw a pile of rocks in front of me, and the piles of stones were full of bright iron stones. This kind of stone is a waste left over from the mining of dark iron ore, and the texture is much harder than that of black iron ore, and it is difficult to leave traces on it when swords are chopped.
But at this time, there are deep claw marks left on these bright iron stones!
Shocked, Wu Gui and Wu Shuo immediately stepped forward to check, but when they got closer, they first smelled a strong smell of urine. At this time, Wu Gui and Wu Shuo's faces were even more ugly, because they both knew very well that those powerful demon beasts in the forest often used their own urine to mark their own territory.
Wu Gui and Wu Shuo leaned over to take a closer look, and found that those deep scratches were actually left by the sharp claws of the powerful demon beast.
"Brother Gui, Uncle Wu Shuo, what's wrong?"
The soldiers of Xingshui Village, who caught up from behind, saw Wu Gui and Wu Shuo looking at the pile of rocks with serious faces, and couldn't help but ask curiously.
Wu Gui turned around and saw that the soldiers behind him had rushed up, and hurriedly stopped everyone: "Don't come up!"
Seeing Wu Gui's face so solemn, everyone was surprised at the same time, and at the same time, there was a kind of uneasiness spreading in their hearts.
After carefully observing for a while, Wu Gui and Wu Shuo glanced at each other. Wu Gui opened his mouth and said, "Uncle Wu Shuo, you are experienced, what do you think?"
Wu Shuo nodded solemnly, picked up a trace of tough hair from the stone pile, and said, "On the surface of all kinds of signs, these marks are left by some kind of demon beast when it rubs its minions
As soon as Wu Shuo's words came out, everyone was shocked physically and mentally - these deep traces left on the Ming Iron Stone were actually just left by the demon beast when it rubbed its minions?
Wu Gui nodded with heavy eyebrows and said, "Uncle Wu Shuo said the same thing. It seems that yes, these traces are left by demon beasts at the level of demon pawns. Looking at these traces, this demon beast is at least a lower-level demon pawn!"
Lower-level demon pawns!
Wu Gui's words were like dropping a bombshell in the crowd, and it exploded in the middle of everyone:
"Oh my God, in the past hundred years, this is the first time that a lower-level demon pawn has appeared near our village!"
"It's not fun now, the demon pawn of the lower rank, even if we hunt together, we can't deal with it!"
"Fortunately, Brother Wu Guige is already a Four Elephant Martial Artist...... Otherwise, the appearance of lower-level demon beasts will be a catastrophe for our village!"
"yes...... However, although Brother Gui can deal with lower-level demon beasts, if there are lower-level demon beasts among the demon beasts that attack at night tonight, it will also be an extremely dangerous thing......
......
Talking about it, everyone didn't look good.
However, the eldest Wu Shuo was still extremely calm at this time, and he said with a sad brow: "If you come, you will be safe!" Then we'll deal with the other monsters. After cleaning up the other demon beasts, are you helping Wu Gui hunt the lower-level demon beasts!"
When everyone heard Wu Shuo's words, they all felt justified and nodded in agreement.
After saying a few words, because of the importance of the matter, Wu Gui decided to stop patrolling and go back to the village to report the matter to the village.
Before returning, Wu Shuo said: "In order to prevent panic among everyone in the village, everyone remember not to talk about this matter for the time being until you get the order of the village chief!"
Everyone nodded in response, and one of the long-haired soldiers at the end of the team said, "Uncle Wu Shuo, don't worry, I ......"
Before the long-haired warrior could finish his sentence, a dark shadow swept in front of him.
"Be careful!"
Wu Gui roared, wanting to rush up and save the long-haired warrior, but it was too late!
Snort!
The long-haired warrior was still standing in place at the sound of flesh cutting, his face still speaking. The next moment, the man was suddenly torn apart, cut into several pieces, and blood splattered out.
His companion was killed, but everyone didn't have time to grieve and cry out, Wu Shuo shouted: "Everyone disperse!" had already pulled out the giant axe on his back and rushed forward.
In Wu Shuo's shouting, everyone also reacted very quickly and scattered one after another. At the same time, Wu Gui's reaction was not slow at all, although he was one step slower than Wu Shuo, he was the first to rush forward with stronger strength.
In the darkness, everyone could only see the afterimage left by the black shadow, and they couldn't see the real location of the black shadow at all, what it was. Only Wu Gui roared, took off a pair of hammers from his waist, and struck towards the space in his mouth.
While!
A violent metal clash rang out, followed by the angry roar of the monster. After everyone's eyes flickered, it became clear that Wu Gui had been fighting fiercely with a huge humanoid demon beast like a small mountain. (To be continued......)
