Chapter 162: The Trap
On the west side of the forest is a flat field, and the stream that flows out of the forest winds around a few small bends and joins into a river more than ten zhang wide, the river water is also green and clear, reflecting the blue sky and green trees, flowing over the field.
On the east bank of the river, close to this wood, there is a human village, there are about dozens of families in the past, it should be a medium-sized village, the field scenery is small and the river is small, it is another quiet scenery, but at this moment it is broken by a noisy shout, and on the roofs of several people's houses, there are tongues of fire rising, and black smoke floats into the air, and the black smoke that Shen Shi and others saw in the forest before came from this.
The village was still dozens of zhang away from where Shen Shi and the others walked out of the forest, and they could clearly see that dozens of tall and strong gray lizard demon clans were rushing into this human village, breaking into the door one by one, and looting on a large scale.
The scene in front of him was seen in the eyes of Shen Shi, the old white monkey and the stone pig, for some reason they suddenly had a strange sense of familiarity, in the distant demon world, they were also descendants of the former demon clan, and it seemed that everyone was almost the same in grabbing things.
However, compared to the looting in the demon world, which must be accompanied by a large amount of killing and bloodshed, in the village in front of them, although those gray lizard demon clans were also screaming and laughing and looting with hideous appearances, but for some reason, they didn't seem to hear the victim's screams, howls, or even screams and begging for mercy.
Shen Shi and the others, who were accustomed to hearing and seeing the looting scenes of the demon world, quickly noticed the strangeness in it, the old white monkey frowned first, but Shen Shi chuckled in his heart, secretly a little worried, could it be that the human race in this village had been killed by these seemingly vicious gray lizard demon clans before they walked out of the forest?
In the past three years, he has experienced many such robberies in the demon world, and he may have had some compassion at first, but then he saw more, Xu is heart has been hardened, or whether it is the killer or the killed, it is completely different from his own demon world, so he has gradually become indifferent to the life and death around him, even if he sees the cruel slaughter, he just walks away silently, and even sometimes in order to win the victory of the green snake tribe, he will personally take action.
In the past three years, the blood of the demon clan that has been stained on his hands is not small. Sometimes in the dead of night when he was alone, he occasionally couldn't help but wonder if it was because he had watched the butcher slaughter when he was young, and even killed livestock himself, which made him integrate into the atmosphere of the killing demon world so quickly.
It's just that watching the surrounding demon clans kill each other, and watching the people who are also human races being slaughtered by the demon clan, it is a completely different feeling, for a moment, Shen Shi only felt a faint trace of anger in his heart, looking at the gray lizard demon clan in front of him who were haunting the village, and a cold meaning flashed in his eyes.
The iron lizard that ran out of the forest in front of them, and at this moment, seeing the appearance of those companions in front of them looting, he immediately let out a cheer and strode towards the village, while the old white monkey and Shen Shi glanced at each other, but at the same time slowed down, but still gradually walked towards the village.
Shen Shi took a deep breath, took a step, walked to the old white monkey's side, and said in a low voice, "Have you found out?"
The old white monkey was silent for a moment, nodded, and said, "There is no scream, these gray lizard demon clans seem to be robbing things in the past, and they don't look like they're killing...... Uh, strange, why don't I even see a human in the village?"
Shen Shi frowned, his gaze swept over the village, and said, "Could it be that they have already killed all of them?"
The old white monkey thought for a while, looked not very sure, and muttered: "It has only been a long time since the iron lizard said in the forest just now that he broke that defensive array, and it stands to reason that it is impossible to kill them all so quickly." ”
Shen Shi's face darkened a little, and he no longer spoke, but looked at the scene in front of him laughing and howling and burning the house and looting, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly.
Dozens of zhang distance, even if they slowed down, but after a while, they gradually approached the Terran village that was attacked by the demon clan, only to see that as far as the eye could see, those scattered houses, scattered fences and collapsed doors and windows everywhere were all traces left by the ravages of these demon clans, and most of the dozens of elated and strong gray lizard demon clans were laughing wildly, looking extremely excited, carrying large bags of things on their backs, and they didn't know how much of the Terran village was the property they were eager to loot.
However, there were still a few gray lizard demon clans who ran by in the middle, and when they saw that they were obviously outsiders, they suddenly stopped, showing a bit of vigilance, and at the same time let out a few sharp whistles, which seemed to be the usual vigilant sound in their tribe.
After the whistle sounded, the gray lizard tribes who were looting in the village were all stunned at the same time, and immediately ran towards the entrance of the village, one of them was particularly tall and obviously a head taller than the other gray lizard demon clans around him, and he came out of the crowd, and glanced at the old white monkey and the others coldly, especially when his eyes finally fell on Shen Shi, he was also stunned, and then his face changed greatly.
But before he could attack, another demon clan came out next to him, it was the iron lizard before, I saw him run to the side of the tall gray lizard demon clan, whispered a few words to him, and at the same time kept looking at the old white monkey and the others, it seemed that he was explaining the situation he had encountered before to this gray lizard demon clan who was obviously the leader.
With the words of the iron lizard, the leader's face was obviously a lot more relaxed, but in the end, he still had some doubts and doubts, stared at Shen Shi, and said:
"Witch, what's that?"
At this moment, dozens of warriors of the gray lizard tribe were all around, faintly encircling, the old white monkey's face changed slightly, he snorted coldly, and said with a little impatience: "I told you, that is one of our demon clans." ”
Shen Shi glanced at the old white monkey behind his back, silent.
The demon clans of the gray lizard tribe in front of them all looked a little suspicious, but seeing the two demon clans with obvious characteristics of the old white monkey and the stone pig walking together with Shen Shi without any barriers, they believed a little more, and they didn't care about Shen Shi's identity, the leader said: "Which tribe are you from, you came to us, but you want to rob our property?"
Saying that, his face sank, and he said: "This village was built by us with the strength of the clan, and everything is ours, not your share!"
The old white monkey's eyes swept over the small village behind them, and then looked at the gray lizard demon clan whose faces were resolutely looking at the gray lizard demon clan who did not hesitate to fight to the death in order to protect their property, and suddenly a sense of powerlessness surged in his heart, and he lowered his head and waved his hand, and said blankly: "You are free, we are just passing by, and we will not rob you." ”
As soon as he said this, the faces of the gray lizard tribe suddenly relaxed, and the leader laughed and said, "Since this is the case, it is not an enemy, my name is black lizard, and I am the patriarch of this gray lizard tribe, you can find me if you have something." But we're busy right now, hahahaha......"
Shen Shi suddenly spoke: "We don't move the things you robbed, just take a walk around this village, okay?"
The black lizard was stunned for a moment, and seemed to hesitate a little, but finally nodded and said, "Terran village, you can go as you go, but you are not allowed to move anything that our clan warriors want." ”
Shen Shi nodded, and agreed, the black lizard laughed, turned around and waved his hand, and shouted: "Hurry up, go quickly, continue to grab." ”
Dozens of gray lizard warriors scattered in a hurry, like savage low-level demon beasts, and rushed into the ruined Terran houses.
※※※
The noise echoed again in the unknown Terran village, and the old white monkey and Shen Shi avoided the gray lizard warriors and walked slowly in the village, Shi Zhu and Xiao Hei following behind them.
Walking past a few houses, looking at the gray lizard warriors who came in and out with a smirk on their faces, for some reason, the old white monkey's face suddenly became a little ugly, but Shen Shi's expression looked a little more relaxed.
As they walked, they gradually came to the center of the village, and the old white monkey suddenly snorted and said, "These lizards say that this is the village of the Terrans, but where are the Terrans?"
Shen Shi stood beside him, glanced around, and said lightly: "There are no corpses, no figures, and there are not even a few traces of blood on his hands." ”
He turned his head and glanced at the old white monkey, and saw the stunned and suspicious in the other party's eyes, the scene in front of him was really weird.
The door of a house on the right side of the front slammed loudly, and someone kicked it open, and then a tall demon clan strode out, smiling, looking very happy, it seemed that there was a great harvest in this room, it was the black lizard, the patriarch of the gray lizard tribe.
In a blink of an eye, the black lizard also saw that the old white monkey and Shen Shi and others were standing not far away, he walked over and looked them up and down, and saw that these people were empty-handed, and it seemed that they did not take the opportunity to steal something in the village, and his impression of these guys was much better for a while, and he smiled: " It's pretty honest, hehe, forget it, today's harvest is good, I'll wait for those tribal warriors under me to grab it, if you can still find anything in this village, just take it, anyway, it's all Terran stuff, don't take it for nothing, hahahaha......"
Shen Shi frowned and didn't speak, while the old white monkey shook his head slightly, sighed, and said, "That...... Black lizard patriarch, let me ask you something. ”
The black lizard said, "What?"
The old white monkey pointed to the surrounding houses and said, "Didn't you say before that this is a Terran village, why did I come in for so long, I can't even see the shadow of a human race, and even ...... I didn't even see the corpse after you killed it. ”
The black lizard waved his hand and said, "Murder, we don't have any people, where did the corpse come from?"
The old white monkey was stunned and said, "Then you said that you captured this village?"
The black lizard smiled and said, "Yes, we found this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, taking advantage of the absence of the Terran monks who were guarding, we gathered all the strength of the clan to attack, and finally broke the defensive circle outside the village, but there were still two monks in the Terran clan in the village, escorting the others to flee over there." As he spoke, he pointed to the other side of the river outside the village, and there was a bridge across the river not far from the village.
Shen Shi didn't know why, his heart suddenly relaxed, and he secretly let out a long breath, but the old white monkey's face became more and more ugly, but looking at the patriarch in front of him who was full of ambition and was also a big bag of things like other gray lizard warriors, he didn't know what to say for a while.
The black lizard laughed, then looked up at the sky, and said, "It's almost time." As he spoke, he suddenly shouted loudly to the surroundings: "Okay, it's almost time to go, otherwise when the monks of the Terran come back, be careful that they will be caught digging the crystal ore until they die." ”
The gray lizard warriors who were looting around suddenly made a commotion, and although they looked reluctant, they still struggled to walk out, while Shen Shi, who was standing on the side, frowned, meditating in his heart What was that crystal mine?
Seeing that the gray lizard tribe was assembling over there, it seemed that they were about to leave, but whether it was the old white monkey or Shen Shi, there were too many questions in their hearts that they wanted to ask these local natives, but just as the old white monkey was about to chase over and talk to the black lizard, the door of the largest house in the middle of the village in front of him was kicked open, and the iron lizard with a gloomy face ran out, and the package on his body was obviously much less than others, and it seemed that the harvest was not very good.
It's just that with the opening of the door of the room, the old white monkey's body suddenly stiffened, then raised his head, sniffed into the air suddenly, and after a while, he showed a little intoxication, overjoyed, and grabbed Shen Shi and walked to the big house, and at the same time said in his mouth: "Good fragrance, good fragrance, this, this, what kind of wine is this, there is such a mellow smell......
Shen Shi was speechless for a while, but he was caught by the old white monkey, and he had to accompany him to walk over, and saw the house, and sure enough, it looked bigger than the surrounding houses, compared to the original owner of the house, he was also a person with some status in the village, and following the unusually strong smell of wine, the old white monkey found a small room all the way, pushed open the door, and looked at a storage warehouse, there were not many things in it, but there was a wine jar, and on the outside of the wine jar, two words were clearly written, showing in front of their eyes:
Flower carving.
The old white monkey was stunned, as if the whole person was suddenly stupid, and after a while, he suddenly shouted, and the whole person seemed to be fifty or sixty years younger, and he pounced quickly, hugged the flower carving wine jar, and looked at the ecstatic and excited expression, almost making people think that this guy had obtained the most precious treasure in the world.
"Huadiao, it's Huadiao, I, I'm not dreaming......"
There were faint tears in the eyes of the old white monkey, and even his lips trembled slightly with excitement, and he was almost so excited that he couldn't help himself. Shen Shi looked at his appearance, and although he was worried for a while, he couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly.
Then the old white monkey circled the wine jar, hugged tightly and refused to let go, looking at it as if he was hesitating to open the wine jar immediately to taste it and realize his long-cherished wish. Shen Shi didn't care about him, looked around the room, walked around the door a few times, and heard from a distance that the gray lizard tribe seemed to have been assembled, and when he was about to leave, Shen Shi suddenly seemed to think of something, his body shook slightly, and he turned to look at the gray lizard tribe in the distance, and his face sank suddenly.
After a while, he suddenly turned around and walked back to the storeroom, and said in a deep voice to the old white monkey who was vigorously opening the wine jar stopper: "Old monkey, leave the jar of wine alone, let's go quickly." ”
The old white monkey was stunned, looked up at him and said, "Why?"
Shen Shi was silent for a moment and said, "It's not appropriate to stay here for a long time. ”
Seeing Shen Shi's gloomy expression, the old white monkey didn't seem to be joking, the excited look on his face couldn't help but be a little restrained, he slowly stood up, looked at Shen Shi, and said, "What's wrong, didn't you find something wrong?"
Shen Shi was silent, the old white monkey asked again, Shen Shi hesitated for a moment, and then said in a low voice: "When we were on the other side of the forest, when the iron lizard talked to us, didn't they say that their gray lizard tribe was not an opponent of the human race, and they were forced to hide in such a remote place as the wilderness and deep valley jungle?"
The old white monkey nodded and said, "Yes, so what?"
Shen Shi glanced at him deeply and said, "Since their entire clan has always dared not show their faces in the wilderness, and they have been hiding in Tibet all day long, then who did they hear the news that the monks in this village would leave for Broken Moon City?"
The old white monkey's body was shocked, and his face changed instantly. He looked at Shen Shi steadily, Shen Shi smiled, and didn't say anything more, but in his faint smile, there was already a little more contempt, and there was also a bit of ridicule and mockery.
