Chapter 170: Unknown
"Demons only appear at night. Ti Kao replied slowly. A hint of indifference flashed in his eyes, and he had become accustomed to telling outsiders about demons, and over the years, there had not been a single outsider who was not afraid after hearing about demons. But this time, he really looked away.
He could never have predicted that Wuqi, a boy who seemed to be only twelve or thirteen years old, would not show extreme horror in his eyes after hearing about the demon, but a look of excitement, and that excited gaze was like a warm flame beating slowly in his eyes, like the gaze of a hungry ghost suddenly seeing food.
Wuqi's gaze was unusually hot. The Demon, a very formidable-sounding opponent, was exactly what he had been looking for. Although the most important purpose of his trip was to find the Staff of the Witch Pattern, when he fought with Mallop, he changed his mind slightly.
This time, he not only had to find the Staff of the Witch Pattern, but also to cultivate himself and improve his strength during the journey, so when he heard about the past of Sindezhen, his face immediately showed excitement. He said eagerly, "Mayor, help me get rid of the net, and I'll help you get rid of the demons tonight!"
When the two old men heard this, their faces showed surprise. It's weird. Why doesn't this kid know anything about the devil and the devil, we've told hundreds of outsiders, but not a single one isn't afraid. I really saw a weirdo today.
They looked at each other at the same time, and they both saw the strange look in each other's eyes, and Ti Kao asked puzzledly, "Little Brother Wuqi." Aren't you afraid of the devil at all? It's going to eat you. ”
"Scared?" Wuqi immediately laughed, how could he not be afraid. From the day he was born, he had always retained the fatal flaw of the rat-like monster in his heart, timidity.
It can be said that Wuqi is a very, very timid person, but in one situation, he is unusually brave, and that is when helping others. Especially to help those who have been kind to him.
As long as the other party says a word, he can even put his life at risk, Wuqi is such a person who is timid by nature, but he can even ignore his life for the sake of friends and relatives. The two old men, Tikor and Romy, took great care of him at first, not only inviting him to dinner but also inviting him to live in the town, even though Wuqi himself was forcibly captured by the two old men in this cell.
However, when he listened to the past events in Sindetown, he also understood the intentions of the two old men, and naturally forgave them. It was at this moment that he had already regarded the two old men and all the residents of Sinder Town as friends, although it may have been just a meeting in Pingshui, and the friendship was as light as water. But it's also a kind of friend.
For the sake of his friends, Wuqi can ignore everything, so at this moment, he smiled.
Not only to make the two old men feel at ease, but also to embolden himself, he stretched out a stick and said with a smile: "You don't look at who I am! Nicknamed the slug. As long as I want to defeat someone, there is no one who has not succeeded. So, Mayor Mare, trust me. ”
This passage is very arrogant, but his demeanor and demeanor all give people a feeling of confidence. It's like a super master packing a ticket for a friend, which is as relaxed and natural as a ticket, full of confidence, and makes people feel particularly secure. Coupled with what Wuqi said just now, the words are sonorous and powerful, the sentences are full of energy, and the voice is masculine.
Tikao and Romy only felt as if a sudden sound of a bell slammed in their ears, which was smooth and reassuring. The two old men looked at Wuqi together, a smile on the corner of their mouths, and a bright expression appeared in their eyes, and their confident demeanor was extremely natural, without the slightest artificiality.
The two old men looked at each other again, "I think it can work!" Luo Mi said softly, Tikao turned his head suspiciously and glanced at Wuqi's face again, he silently lowered his head and thought for a moment, and then finally nodded slowly, "Okay." Then I'll listen to you this time. Let's hope he doesn't let us down. ”
If I can beat it, of course I'll help you. But if I can't beat it, then I'll have to escape. can't escape, at most pretend to be dead. I don't think this demon likes to eat dead human flesh, right? ,
When the two old men opened the iron fence and took away the big net covering Wuqi's body, Wuqi breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. When he said that, he didn't just really want to help Sindetown return to its former peace, but at the same time, he was also selfish.
After all, this demon wants to eat people, and he has more important things to do. Risking his life for the sake of a town. Wuqi is willing to take risks, but the premise must be that the other party's kindness to him is strong enough.
It's a pity that Sindezhen's kindness to him is far from reaching the level of making Wuqi desperate, so what he said just now was just deliberately making the two old men believe in himself. Acting, no wonder is very good, he almost deceived himself just now. It's funny to think about it now.
Yet, that night. When Wuqi was surrounded by Tikao and all the townspeople and sent him all the way to the exit of the town, his heart couldn't help but tremble. He was deeply touched by these simple residents.
"This is the best sword we've ever made in our smithy. You can use it when you encounter demons. Little brother, you must be careful. "Romy of the blacksmith gave him a razor-sharp sword.
"Little brother, please, you must come back safely! If you can't defeat the demon, you can flee back to the town first, and we will wait for you here." The owner of the grocery store said slowly.
"Yes. Little brother, we'll always wait here. I'll wait for you to come back in triumph, and then the big guy will prepare you a sumptuous meal!" said the bakery owner, patting Wuqi on the shoulder.
"Little brother. Please, please avenge my dead child! This is an ancestral garment of my family that can ward off fire. You put it on and fight the demons. Little brother, you must be careful in everything!" the owner of the tailor shop took out a red silk coat and handed it to Wuqi.
"Come on, little brother, we believe you will succeed! Good luck!" a young man who was doing chores in the shop raised his fist at Wuqi to express encouragement.
"Little brother. This is my favorite horse, and one of the best horses in our town. The fastest. You ride it, and when you're in danger, you ride it back. I'm sure it will get you out of danger. A yellow-haired young man on the horse ranch with a smile on his face handed the reins of his horse to Wuqi, and behind him was a strong black horse, looking extremely docile, but full of spirit.
"Then I'm leaving, everyone! Wait for me to come back! I'll be back! Everyone have to wait for me! I'm still waiting for your feast......" As the voice became quieter and quieter, Wuqi had already jumped into the air, mounted a black horse, and disappeared from everyone's sight. He didn't bring a weapon, he didn't wear the fire-fighting cloak, but he did bring the blessings of all the townspeople.
At this moment, Wuqi was deeply moved by the parting scene, and under that atmosphere, his heart suddenly made a fierce battle. In the end, saving Sinder Town and fighting for everyone in Sinde Town became Wuqi's inner thoughts. He is a person who is easily moved, and as long as he is moved, he will be willing to fight with all his might.
Look at me!
"Huhu!" There was silence around him, the night wind was blowing, and Wuqi's face was cold, but he stared around with an unusually nervous expression, always on the lookout for the sudden appearance of demons.
"Strange? Why is it so dark all of a sudden? I remember when I first arrived here, it wasn't so dark that I couldn't see my fingers?" said to himself after setting up his tent on the ground, looking around in confusion.
This is from Sinde Town, Wuqi estimated that it had been about two hours away, but there was still no trace of the demon, he was suddenly a little confused, and wanted to continue on the road, but the black horse under his crotch was tired, so he had to dismount and camp, planning to spend the night here.
However, Wuqi had just set up his tent, and when he went to inspect the surroundings, he suddenly realized that something was wrong, and he could still vaguely see the night with five fingers, but it suddenly became as black as ink, and for some reason the surroundings suddenly became unusually quiet, and a needle fell to the ground, and now he was sure that he could hear it.
A feeling of getting hotter and hotter slowly rose from his heart, and soon it spread to every part of his body like a tide, Wuqi suddenly felt itchy all over his body, and he subconsciously wiped it on his forehead, sticky and wet.
Why am I sweating? What the hell is going on here? Why is it so hot all of a sudden? It was very cold. I remember Ticoult and Romy saying that they were also unusually hot before they met the demons. Could it be said?
As soon as he thought of the signs before the demon came, Wuqi's forehead suddenly became more sweaty, his nerves immediately tensed, and a pair of eyes looked around, but the dark hands around him couldn't see five fingers, how could he see anything, except for darkness or darkness. Wuqi didn't see anything. The unknown darkness was very terrifying, and his heart trembled now.
A miserable hiss suddenly sounded, Wuqi's body suddenly trembled, he immediately took a deep breath, and forced himself to look around calmly, but unfortunately there was nothing abnormal around him except for the darkness and still darkness.
What the hell was that voice just now? So miserable. It seems like...... Not good...... It seems to be the sound of the horse!
Thinking of this, Wuqi suddenly woke up, he immediately shook his body and disappeared in place, and when he reappeared, he had already appeared in the place where the reins of the horse were tied next to his tent, but there was still the shadow of the black horse in front of him at this time, only a broken rope and a large patch of bright red blood on the ground.
