Chapter 18: The Human Skin Attack on the Village
"Woo ......"
In the middle of the night, there were no stars and no moon, and the sky was overcast, heavy, dull, and full of ominous atmosphere.
Suddenly, a desolate horn sounded throughout Junshan Village, alarming the villagers who were not sleeping peacefully, and a faint candlelight floated out from thousands of households, but it could not dispel the coldness of the night.
"Are you coming?"
In the dark, Ye Qing suddenly opened his eyes, a cold glow shot out of his eyes, stood up, folded the treacherous scriptures on the table, stuffed them into his arms, took a long knife, pushed open the door, and walked out.
When I came to the castle tower, I saw that the castle tower was crowded with people, and all the people in the patrol were holding bows and arrows, looking nervously out of the village.
"What is here?" Ye Qing walked up to Ma Shiyuan and asked in a low voice.
Ma Shiyuan swallowed his saliva and said nervously: "The human skin is weird, there are many people with weird skin!"
Ye Qing probed from the city tower, looked out of the village, and saw that in the fields outside the village, there were strange human skins everywhere, and there were no less than thousands.
Those human skin monsters stood there, motionless, quiet, dead and silent, the wind swept by, and the human skin monsters swayed with the wind, like a black wheat wave, indescribably eerie.
"Woo ......"
A gust of wind blew, and the strange skins of the people outside the village began to pour towards Junshan Village as if they had received an order, like a black tide.
"Fire oil ready to ......" Looking at the swarming human skin monsters, Lin Hu's face was gloomy, and he roared, and when the human skin monsters pounced on the city, he immediately waved his hand: "Fall!"
The black oil poured down, and the human skin monsters that were frantically climbing and impacting the city wall instantly slid down, huddled together with the human skin monsters below.
"Rocket preparation...... ......" rockets shot down, landed on the human skin monster, ignited the oil, and the raging flames spread instantly, and in the blink of an eye, it became a sea of fire.
In the sea of fire, the human skin monster burned all over the body, but still rushed to the city wall, not afraid of death, although just a few steps, it was burned to ashes, but the human skin monster is endless, one after another, just a few breaths will be annihilated by the fire, towards the city tower climbing.
"Boulder ready...... Throw ......" Lin Hu was still not in a hurry, let the archers retreat, and instructed the others to lift the prepared boulders, logs, etc., and throw them to the city to prevent the human skin monster from landing in the city.
Boulders and logs rained down, smashing large areas of human skin into pieces.
However, Junshan Village is not a big city after all, so the city wall is not high, only about two zhang, and although the human skin monster is fragile, but the strength is infinite, a leap is several meters, when the patrol team members are slightly exhausted, when the offensive is weak, there are several human skin monsters rushed to the city tower, several patrol members were caught off guard for a while, directly smashed their heads, and their brains burst out.
What's even more terrifying is that when those people died, a wisp of black gas burrowed into their bodies, and then the human skin on their bodies was peeled off and turned into a new human skin monster, killing others.
Some people didn't pay much attention for a while, and they were suddenly attacked and killed by these newborn human skin monsters.
For a while, there were screams on the city tower, and the crowd panicked.
"Don't panic, work in groups of three, shoot down the human skin monsters!" Lin Hu slashed the two human skin monsters that pounced on him with a knife, and commanded loudly: "In addition, be careful of the dead people on the ground, they will also turn into human skin monsters!"
According to the formation of the patrol, the patrol members quickly formed a team and killed the human skin monsters who rushed up to the castle tower.
As for Ye Qing, he is usually alone, without team members, and relying on his own strength, he did not team up with others, but took care of killing people by himself.
Last night, he refined two silver dragon snake runes in a row, directly pushing the realm from the early stage of condensation to the realm of dense fog gathering clouds in the middle stage of condensation, the number and strength of true qi have been greatly improved, even if there is only one person, but his speed of killing human skin monsters is not slower than that of other squads.
If it weren't for the suspicion of others, he hid his clumsiness and didn't do his best, he would have been faster.
The light of the sword flickered, pouring down like water, and in one step, a group of human-skinned monsters fell; in a single sword, the human-skinned heads rose to the sky; everywhere they passed, all the human-skinned monsters fell, and there was no enemy.
With a knife in hand, the human skin is weird!
Suddenly, Ye Qing's eyes froze, his steps were a little faster, as fast as lightning, and he swept close to a precarious three-person squad, swept the horizontal knife, and the tiger roared loudly, killing everyone in an instant.
"Thank you!" thanked the team leader who had been rescued.
"You're welcome, be careful. After saving the three of them, Ye Qingtou didn't return, and killed a team that was losing and retreating.
"Hey, isn't that the kid of the old Ye family, when did he become so powerful?" one of the team members wondered.
"Yes!" said the other.
"You're all dying, you still have time to care about this, be careful, the human skin monster is here again!"
"Kill ......"
Ye Qing didn't know or care about the conversation between several people, but kept killing the monsters that rushed towards him and saving those villagers and companions who were in danger.
Even so, it was a drop in the bucket, and the patrols kept dying, and those who died became human skin monsters again, and the number of people on the city tower continued to decrease, and the number of human skin monsters increased.
"There are too many human skin monsters, and you can't kill them at all!" Lin Hu wiped a handful of blood from his face, his head was smashed by human skin monsters, his skull was cracked, bloody, and he was seriously injured, but he didn't have time to heal, and continued to kill the human skin monsters in front of him: "If only there was a Sky Survey Mirror!"
A single blow from the Sky Survey Mirror is enough to kill all the human skin monsters here. Unfortunately, the power of the Sky Survey Mirror has not yet been restored!
With a wave of her sleeves, Granny Xia shattered several human skin monsters, and said heavily: "Human skin monsters can't be killed at all, if this continues, we will die sooner or later!"
"Then what should I do?" Lin Hu shook his head, only to feel dizzy in front of him.
"For the sake of the present, we can only survive if we try to find out the monster behind the human skin monster and kill it. Granny Xia's cloudy eyes flashed with a chill: "Huzi, you go down to the city with me to see if you can find something to control these strange skins and kill it." ”
"Okay!" Lin Hu did not hesitate at all, even though he knew that this time, he would fall into the siege of human skin and strange skins, and he would die for a lifetime, and the possibility of surviving was very small.
But for the sake of the tens of thousands of people in Junshan Village, for the innocent lives behind him, he is willing to fight, even die!
"Chen Zheng, after Huzi and I leave, you must guard the village, if you ...... If you really can't do it, you can take the villagers through the passage, how much you can live, how much you can live!" Granny Xia said in a heavy and sad tone, as if she had been entrusted with her deathbed.
Or rather, not as if, but as it is.
She knew that the chance of rushing down like this and finding the weird thing that controlled the human skin was very small, and the chance of them surviving was even smaller, or that they were sent to death in vain, but she had to go, and she had to fight for this in case.
Because they don't fight, they don't even have a chance!
"Huzi, let's go!" Granny Xia waved her hand, jumped down in the air, the person was in mid-air, the sleeve robe fluttered, and countless yellow paper talisman seals flew out of the sleeves, and the talisman seals spontaneously combusted when they saw the wind, turning into raging flames, covering the sky, dense human skin was weird, and a large area was emptied in an instant.
Then, Granny Xia waved her crutches, a layer of ripples swayed on the black crutches, the flames rolled and roared all over the sky, and a loud phoenix roared from the flames, and then a huge phoenix rose from the flames and flew forward, and where it passed, the human skin monsters turned into ashes.
Granny Xia held a cane in her hand, followed Huo Feng, and continued to walk outside the village.
And Lin Hu was behind Granny Xia, but whenever a strange monster rushed up, he was smashed by him.
Lin Hu's cultivation is also the "Five Tiger Broken Door Knife", but this simplest knife technique, in his hands, is exquisitely abnormal, the sword light is flying, like the Milky Way pouring, in the Milky Way, the tiger roars endlessly, but all the human skin that deceives him within three feet is weird, all of them are silently broken.
The two men, in the strange skin of the black tide, walked slowly, step by step, with great difficulty and determination, never stopped, and after a while, they disappeared from people's sight, and only the occasional roar and roar in the distance proved that they were still alive.
At this moment, on the city tower, everyone was silent, silently watching the two of them, watching the direction in which the two disappeared, admiration, sadness, and silence.
"What are you doing in a daze, the human skin monster rushed up again, kill me!" Suddenly, Chen Zheng roared and commanded people to kill the human skin monster who rushed up to the city tower.
"Hopefully, you can live!" Seeing the direction in which the two disappeared, Ye Qing sighed slightly, admiring the actions of Granny Xia and Lin Hu very much, he thought that this matter should be put on him, he would never go, he was from another world, and he did not have a particularly deep affection for Junshan Village, and those villagers were just familiar strangers.
So he couldn't do it, and he couldn't sacrifice his life for the sake of others.
He admired such people, but he didn't want to be such people.
At least, not now!
"Captain Chen, Captain Chen, it's not good, the village gate is about to break, and I can't hold it!" was pondering, an eager voice sounded, and a person rushed up to the city tower and said eagerly.
Although the village gate of Junshan Village is made of hard iron and wood, it is only wood after all, and under the impact of the strange human skin, it is already full of cracks and is about to shatter.
"Damn, there aren't many people on the city tower anymore!" Chen Zheng looked around left and right, and found that there were only a dozen people left on the city tower, once he sent people down, then the defense of the city tower would become extremely empty, and he himself would become very dangerous.
"What should I do?" Suddenly, Chen Zheng caught a glimpse of Ye Qing who was killing the monster, and a trace of ruthlessness flashed in his eyes: "Ye Qing, Ma Shiyuan, Zhang Yuan, you three teams go to guard the city gate, if you let the monster rush into the village, I will only ask you!"
"Captain Chen, how can such a little person ......" Ma Shiyuan said anxiously, saying that it was three squads, but Ye Qing only had one person, and only one of his team died, but there were only two people left in Zhang Yuan's team, but there were only four people in total, how to guard the city gate?
Isn't this asking them to die?
"Obey the order, the rest of the people must guard the city tower, you can't vacate your hands, you go quickly, if the village gate is broken and the monsters rush into the village, the consequences will be unimaginable!" Chen Zhengzheng said.
"This ......" Ma Shiyuan and Zhang Yuan looked at each other.
"Go, do you want to disobey the order?" Chen Zheng's face changed and he said sharply.
"Yes!" Ma Shiyuan and Zhang Yuan were helpless, and took the order to leave, looking generous and righteous.
The corners of Ye Qing's mouth twitched, he didn't speak, he jumped down from the city tower and walked towards the door.
