Chapter 25: Monsters
The joy of success was wiped out by all kinds of accidents, and the dizzy Zhang Lisheng looked at the huge toad beside him, was silent for a moment, frowned and chanted the witch spell.
Frustrated, he wanted to test whether the attack power of his second witch worm was worth the price, comparable to the combined force of the four blue and red.
As the sound of "hiss,
After that, it spewed out its tongue as thick as an elevator cable, and shot at once to a gray fir tree the thickness of a bowl fifty meters away, and the meat hook on the tip of the tongue pierced the tree, and even rolled half of the tree upside down.
After swallowing the trunk in one gulp, the toad, which had completed an attack, quickly retracted back to the size of a water tank like a deflated balloon.
When the Shuiquan Toad became bigger and attacked, the remaining bits of magic power in Zhang Lisheng's body continued to surge, and it was absorbed by the witch worm beside him, making him almost faint.
But the magical and powerful ability displayed by the toad neutralized all the dissatisfaction in his heart.
If the witch insect Qinghong's attack with sharp fangs and enhanced poison can be barely explained by the biological mutation theory, then the action of the water spring toad after inhaling and becoming the size of a car and 'cutting down trees' with its tongue can only be described as a spirit monster.
It was by no means the enhancement of some kind of talent, but the power of 'supernatural powers' naturally generated after the essence became a monster in myths and legends.
And the two hieroglyphs of 'increase and contraction' that naturally appeared in his mind in Zhang Lisheng's mind just now also undoubtedly proved this point.
After being stunned for a long time, he came back to his senses in surprise, "Divine power, divine power, haha."
It turns out that the first witch can drive this kind of monster-like witch worm, not that the first witch is not strong, but me, I am too young to know that the witch is powerful."
Da Lu laughed and shouted for a while, and the lack of oxygen in his brain made Zhang Lisheng dizzy again.
His footsteps staggered and swayed, he stopped laughing wildly, and then looked at the toad beside him, he already seemed to love it.
Gently stroking the pimple skin of the Shuiquan toad, Zhang Lisheng said to himself: "You want it, you want it, you big-bellied toad monster is much stronger than four Qinghong."
I've got to give you a majestic name, or I'm sorry for your leprosy.
Such a big one, born in the deep mountains and dense forests, you are a water spring toad, as the saying goes, 'there are mountains and water', it is better to call you a mountain toad.
Mountain toad, mountain toad, is really catchy and majestic. ”
Zhang Lisheng chattered while picking up his bamboo basket again with his hands and feet, he knew that he was in a very bad state now, and he couldn't drive the witch insect to fight.
If you don't hurry home, once you encounter a fierce beast attack in the dense forest, you are afraid that you will turn comedy into tragedy, and you will stop at a little beginner for the rest of your life.
Fortunately, driving the mountain toad in a normal state to patrol and guard will not consume excess magic power, so Zhang Lisheng recited a witch spell and asked the mountain toad to guard himself, find a good direction, and slowly walk out of the forest along the traces of the green mule last night.
Once the toad moved, it couldn't even maintain its size like a water tank, and began to breathe again, but this time it was much slower.
As Zhang Lisheng's distance in the dense forest continued to grow, the mountain toad that crawled and jumped next to him became smaller and smaller, and when it stopped shrinking, it was only about the size of a football, almost the same size as a fat bullfrog.
If it weren't for seeing with your own eyes that after inhaling it, its body size can increase thousands of times, and its fleshy tongue can roll upside down the tree, I'm afraid no one would have imagined that this toad turned out to be a very dangerous monster.
Guarded by mountain toads, coupled with the natural insects at the mouth of the witch spell, Zhang Lisheng spent about an hour, and finally walked out of the primeval forest at six or seven o'clock in the morning.
Before taking the last step, he first untied the bamboo basket behind his back, put the mountain toad into it, and then appeared at the entrance of Yuwo Village.
In the drizzle, the criminal policeman Long Guangsheng, who was standing next to the police car in the open space at the entrance of the village, was full of cigarette butts at his feet, and his eyes were bloodshot as Zhang Lisheng, who had disappeared into the dense forest all night, suddenly appeared, with a sluggish look on his face.
When the young man Miaowei, whose sleeves were tattered and stained with blood, walked past him casually, Long Guangsheng couldn't help but ask in a deep voice: "What did you do in the forest last night, why did you stay all night?"
And what's the matter with the blood on your body?"
"I went to sacrifice to the mountain, and the blood was the mule's land. ”
Long Guangsheng didn't understand the true meaning of Zhang Lisheng's 'sacrificial mountain', but just from the literal meaning, and the mule blood on Zhang Lisheng's body, it was enough for him to experience the creepy taste, and regretted that he asked too much.
It is very difficult to make a criminal police officer feel this way.
But since he had already opened his mouth but could not give up halfway, Long Guangsheng calmed down his emotions and said in a consultative and slightly pleading tone: "Zhang Lisheng, you ran into the mountains and forests inexplicably last night, and after I reported to the leader, I was beaten hard.
My grandfather used to be a mountain man, but when he entered the city, he didn't have much ability, so he just settled down.
My father and Eminem are both workers, and with their own efforts, they were finally admitted to the university and assigned to the county public security bureau to work as criminal police..."
Looking at Long Guangsheng's strange expression, Zhang Lisheng patted the bamboo basket behind him with a smile and said, "Don't worry, there won't be a next time." He paid no more attention to him and went on to his home.
Halfway through, a clear girl's voice suddenly sounded behind Zhang Lisheng, "Zhang Lisheng, you have nothing to do this day, right?"
What are you doing early in the morning?"
Hearing that the voice was Tao Lulu, Tao Lielin's daughter, Zhang Lisheng hurriedly rolled up his sleeves, covered the bloodstains, turned around and said honestly: "It's okay, I'll go to the mountain." ”
Tao Lulu was born in a mountain village, and naturally knew the meaning of 'sacrificing the mountain', she walked a few steps closer and asked in surprise: "Sacrifice with the mule of the He family?"
"Hmm. ”
Tao Lulu was shocked, looked at Zhang Lisheng carefully, and asked incredulously: "Why is your face so ugly, could it be that you did it alone in the mountains and killed that healthy mule?"
"Hmm. Zhang Lisheng lowered his head and nodded.
"It takes several adults to kill a mule butcher, you, how did you do it yourself?"
"I'm a descendant of Zhangjiadi in Yuwo Village, it's nothing. ”
Hearing Zhang Lisheng say this, Tao Lulu said angrily: "What is the Zhang family in Ouwo Village, what Shanjun, the old man, isn't that feudal superstition, is it really you Ermu and those robbers from other countries, it's really you...
How good your grades are, especially in foreign languages, you are the first in the whole school, why did you become obsessed with feudal superstition when something happened at home.
If you believe this, you won't be able to get out of this ravine for the rest of your life, even if you can be the king and hegemon in this palm-sized place, what's the point. ”
Zhang Lisheng was stunned and muttered: "Why are you talking like this, you, you, isn't it your father who asked you to come to see me..."
"I, I, I, what's wrong with me, I can't just happen to meet you on the way to school..."
"But, but your home is closer to the school than mine, so it's hard for you to go to school and go the other way around. Zhang Lisheng was stunned and said.
Tao Lulu's face turned red all of a sudden, and she whispered hatefully: "How to go to school is my freedom, I am willing."
Zhang Lisheng, you will pretend to be crazy and stupid all your life, pretending to be a ghost!"
Looking at Tao Lulu's distant back, Zhang Lisheng, who slowly woke up, felt an inexplicable tingling and warmth in his heart.
Zhilu Dao actually has a girl of the same age who cares about him silently, and has never separated his current self from the previous taciturn, introverted, and only professional is a cadre boy with good grades.
This feeling is really wonderful for a young and ignorant teenager.
After being intoxicated for a while, there were more and more pedestrians on the stone road in the village, and Zhang Lisheng didn't want to meet too many villagers, so he continued to walk towards the ancient house.
When he got home, he bolted the door, unloaded the bamboo building, and released the mountain toad.
When the witch insect was not driven by witch spells, it was basically motionless, and Zhang Lisheng walked into the hall and put the mountain toad on the wooden table as if holding a statue.
Smiling and admiring it for a while, he went to the refrigerator and grabbed a large piece of raw beef jerky and dried vegetables, and walked to the kitchen.
After boiling a pot of boiling water, put in a bowl of bud rice first, wait until it is boiled and flower, and then put the raw beef jerky and dried vegetables into the pot together with the ingredients.
As soon as they were soaked in boiling water, the raw beef jerky and dried vegetables soon began to swell, Zhang Lisheng took a shovel and vigorously stirred them together with the sticky bud rice, and after a while, a pot full of thick bud beef porridge was ready.
Such a hastily made meat porridge, of course, the taste is not as good as the taste of the meat porridge carefully cooked with civil and military fire, but it is convenient and fast, and Zhang Lisheng, who is already extremely tired, does not care about the porridge, eats two bowls in a row with a large coarse porcelain bowl, and finally fills his stomach.
After that, he filled a bowl of the remaining porridge, brought it to the hall, and put it next to the toad.
As a kind of witch weapon, in order to maintain its powerful ability from degrading, it needs to be raised by 'witches' with witch power or essence blood, and as a kind of worm, it also needs to eat food.
Qinghong, as a centipede, can not eat for a month, and the mountain toad is a spring toad Originally, it was the same, but because the latter was more valued by Zhang Lisheng, the treatment was different.
It's a pity that the mountain toad that only ate the small half of the green mule last night, but he didn't appreciate the kindness of the owner, Zhang Lisheng recited the witch spell and ordered it to eat, it stretched out its tongue, pierced the coarse porcelain bowl, and rolled it into the stomach, but the meat porridge spilled out most of it.
