Chapter 172: Troubled Times Emerge
Heavy rain in the south of the Yangtze River for several days, the size of China, and the climate between the north and the south can be described as different.
It's cold in the north, and it's hot in the south.
This back and forth is only a few months, but the trend in Jiangnan has changed a lot.
Over the past few days, many villages have disappeared inexplicably. It's not that the village disappears out of thin air, it's that people die out of thin air.
The murderer is probably still the dragon. A few towns have also suffered from the catastrophe. Hear from the survivors: "They saw a black dragon. ”
Liu Zhengqi, who was sitting in the Red Breeze Medical Pavilion, also took action, on the other hand, the Seventy-two Island Killer Organization led by the enemy robbery even took advantage of the topic to play a role, in a vain attempt to frame Liu Zhengqi through this incident, so that he would have no shame to be the leader of the alliance again.
Dugu Yan came back this time not too late or early, and he was about to sing a good show here.
Hongyu and Duguyan each rode a fast horse to the south bank of the Yangtze River, and suddenly saw a flock of wild geese flying. They hissed, as if frightened.
Dugu Yan looked at the flocks of geese flying in all directions, and felt very strange, he had never seen geese fly like this before, so he couldn't help shaking his head and sighing.
Hongyu said: "What's the matter? Isn't the scenery by the river beautiful?"
Dugu Yan glanced at the clear river water, a few reeds were still tender and green, the fish swimming in the water were foraging everywhere, and the shrimp were hiding in the soil.
Time kills everywhere, food, predators, fate...... A bad premonition came over him.
He smiled bitterly and said, "Hongyu, you often ...... Oh, no, have you ever hunted?"
Hongyu shook her head and said, "No." ”
Dugu Yan said: "Then have you ever seen the migration of geese?"
Ruby still shook her head.
Dugu Yan said: "The geese go in groups, even if they are chased by natural enemies, they will flee in one direction in groups. ”
Hongyu said, "But right now, they're flying in multiple directions. ”
Dugu Yan nodded and said, "Not bad." ”
Hongyu smiled, still very sweet, and said, "Hehe, what's so strange about this? They don't want to play together!"
"Play?" Dugu Yan was really amused by her. He continued: "No, animals rarely have a chance to relax, and they have the opportunity to run every day to survive, just like us. ”
Hongyu's eyes showed a hint of confusion, and she asked, "What's the matter? ”
Dugu Yan stared for a moment, and then the two horses walked to the place where the geese had stayed, and the geese that originally looked white and flawless, but the place where they lay on their stomachs was full of dung.
Hongyu covered her nose and said, "Ha! ”
Dugu Yan smiled: "Their meat is delicious. ”
Hongyu sighed and said, "Oh, I don't want to eat it." ”
The horse continued southward and left the river. Not far away is a town, look at the stone tablet at the entrance of the town engraved "fish town", it can be seen that the people here originally made a living from fishing, but now this place has become deserted.
"What about people?" Hongyu dismounted, walked a few steps, and saw that the doors of every house in the street were open, and the courtyard was empty.
Dugu Yan also dismounted and tied a pair of horses to a tethered stake outside an inn. Pushed the door into the inn, the inn was empty, there was no shopkeeper, and there was no shopkeeper.
He walked around, but fortunately he had prepared dry food, otherwise he would have been hungry for the night.
Hongyu followed Dugu Yan into the inn and muttered, "It's really strange, why is there no one here?"
Dugu Yan said: "There are only two possibilities for this to happen. One is that the environment here is no longer suitable for them, and the other is for refuge. ”
Ruby looked around, and it was surprisingly quiet, and asked, "Take refuge?"
Dugu Yan said: "Yes, I guess they are the same. If nothing else......"
He had just finished his sentence when there was a bang, and half of the roof of the inn was lifted.
The man was a strange man, not so much a man as a beast, covered with green scales, naked, and ugly, and more than the enemies of the seventy-two islands.
The round head has no hair, the face is half scaly and half has no scales, there is blood in the places without scales, and there are some things stuck to the scales, which look slimy, like scraps of flesh and blood, some are sandwiched inside the scales, and some are connected to the outside, which makes people feel very disturbed at a glance.
The strange man roared when he saw Dugu Yan and Hongyu, and then grinned. The mouth is full of sharp teeth, especially the two huge canines, which look even less human.
"Ahh
The strange man swooped, jumped into the room, and beat his chest violently towards Dugu Yan like a chimpanzee.
Bang bang bang, bang, like beating a drum.
"It seems that I have a rival in love!" Dugu Yan smiled softly.
Hongyu said angrily, "Who? You, you hate it......!
Dugu Yan didn't wait to finish speaking, shook his arms and gently threw her out of the room. Since Hongyu learned the chimney skill, she has been practicing continuously in the cold and summer, and the internal strength has been quite superb at this time.
She didn't wait for her feet to land, and saw that the strange man clenched his hands into fists, raised them to the top of his head, and was smashing towards Dugu Yan. Immediately shouted: "Heart!"
Dugu Yan smiled faintly, he had already become a bamboo in his chest, brushed and pulled, the sword was unsheathed, and the blade of the sword attacked the armpit of the stranger.
With a bang, the strange man's feet hit the ground, shattering the floor, and where the smoke and dust came from, the cold light trembled.
Dugu Yan's sword went three inches deep into the strange man's armpit, but he couldn't pull it out.
The strange man turned around suddenly, screamed, and punched Duguyan's face.
Dugu Yan had no choice but to abandon his sword and retreat. The strange man danced with his fists, aimed at Duguyan's head, and smashed wildly.
Dugu Yan dodged left and right, suddenly turned behind the monster, stretched out his hand, picked up a stool leg from the ground, and poked forward with all his might.
In front of the wooden leg, there is an iron nail, probably the carpenter who built the wooden bench back then, and he is not very good at home, and the stool made is not very strong, so a nail is added to ensure that it is reliable.
Dugu Yan's poke, using all his internal strength, is the most vulnerable place of the human body.
The leg of the stool with the iron nails was inserted into the strange man's ass, and he couldn't stand it.
The monster screamed again and lunged forward, knocking holes in the inn walls. There was only a boom, and the whole house collapsed.
Hongyu stood against the smoke and dust, shouted and rushed forward, "Dugu Yan, Dugu Yan, how are you?"
She struggled to lift a log and lifted a stone bar weighing more than two hundred pounds, and couldn't help but be curious about her strength, and said secretly: "Since practicing the internal skills he taught me, my strength has become greater and stronger day by day, and he is pressed underneath, so it should be fine!"
The smoke and dust gradually dissipated, accompanied by a burst of coughing, Dugu Yan stretched out a hand from the ruins, Hongyu hurriedly greeted him, removed the debris on his body, and asked with concern: "How are you?"
Dugu Yan smiled bitterly and said, "I'm fine, but it's okay." ”
Hongyu helped him up, looked at him with a dirty face, and said, "Thank you just now!"
