Chapter 9: The Cauldron is on the Horizon
After leaving the road and walking east for about ten minutes, a dilapidated log cabin stood in front of the mountains and rivers.
The walls of this house have rotted, and the roof still has a big hole, and it looks like it has been abandoned for a long time.
Seeing this, Shanhe immediately leaned over and hidden, and said in his heart:
"Little bracelet, is the demon beast inside?"
"Well, it looks like a monster's lair, but it's not in it. ”
"Isn't it, so where is it?"
"Further east, about five hundred meters from here, but ...... It's coming its way!"
"Oh?" After hearing this, Shanhe looked at the abandoned house in front of him, and suddenly had a plan.
If Bracelet guessed correctly, the greenmane must be planning to go home. This beast's combat power is higher than its own, and it is difficult to win if it is hard to win, so it is better to hide in the house and ambush, the odds of winning are higher!
With a decision, the mountains and rivers turned three steps into two steps and drilled into the wooden house.
The room was pitch black, and the air smelled of a "zoo".
Through the moonlight leaking through the roof, Shanhe saw a pile of straw on the ground that resembled a bed, which should be a resting place for demon beasts.
On the other side, there are some agricultural tools such as shovels and nail rakes, which are estimated to be left by the previous human owners.
Not far from the "grass bed", there is also a huge wardrobe, with cobwebs hanging on the side panels, and the cabinet door is also crumbling.
Seeing this wardrobe that was a head taller than himself, Shanhe's eyes lit up, and he immediately ran to the cabinet, intending to hide in it.
However, what he never expected was that at the moment when he opened the cabinet door, a large iron pot suddenly stretched out from the wardrobe, and a "bang" sounded right in the head of the mountain river! At the same time, a woman's scream also came into his ears:
"Die, you wretch!"
This iron pot is not fast, if it is placed in normal times, the mountains and rivers will definitely be able to avoid it.
But today, knowing that the demon beast was a hundred meters away, Shanhe had already decided that there was no one in the house. In addition, the demon beast is about to return, and the time is urgent, so I was carelessly knocked on the right for a while!
A blow hit, the woman in the cabinet did not mean to stop at all, she closed her eyes, gritted her teeth, and waved the iron pot in her hand vigorously, forcing the mountains and rivers back.
And Shanhe was a little stunned, not knowing what this woman wanted. But judging from the woman's performance, it is guessed that she should not be an accomplice of the demon beast.
"Stop, stop, stop fighting!" shouted Shanhe as he dodged the flying iron pot:
"Why are you beating me?
Listening to the other party's words, the woman realized that something was not right, and plucked up the courage to open the big watery eyes. After seeing Shanhe's appearance, he hurriedly stopped, and Shanhe also took the opportunity to look at the other party.
The girl was about twenty years old, not tall, and dressed modestly. Her eyes are big and round, and she has two distinctive pigtails on the back of her head, although she looks panicked and holds an iron pot, she still can't hide the cuteness and cuteness in her bones.
"Huh, why are you? I thought it was a bad spirit!"
After hearing this, Shanhe had already guessed that the other party had misunderstood, so he said:
"I'm not a bad guy!
"Oh, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I, I just kept my eyes closed, so I ......" But as soon as she said a few words, the girl suddenly remembered something, and her tone changed and she pulled the mountains and rivers out:
"Oh, then you go quickly, get out of here!
Unfortunately, as soon as the words fell, a squeak was heard, and the door was pushed open, and the green-maned beast was already standing outside the door.
The beast is more than two meters tall and has a sturdy physique, similar in size to a human. But it was covered in a cyan mane and had two leaking fangs in its mouth, and it felt terrifying.
Seeing two humans appear in his "bedroom", the green-maned beast's eyes immediately glowed red, and he looked at the two of them extremely unkindly.
Taking advantage of the monster's hesitation, the woman whispered again:
"Wait a minute, I'll deal with it, you can run when you have a chance, don't look back, do you hear?"
Although the appearance of this woman completely disrupted his plan, after listening to this chivalrous remark, Shanhe had a lot of good feelings for the girl in front of him.
However, recalling the scene where the woman had just beaten herself with an iron pot, he felt that this girl did not have the ability to compete with the blue-maned beast, so he asked tentatively:
"Are you okay alone? Do you want us to ...... together?"
"No! This is my personal vendetta with it, I don't need you to interfere! This guy is not a human, he is a demon beast, you can't deal with it!"
Seeing that this woman knew about the existence of demon beasts and looked full of confidence, although Shanhe was skeptical, she still nodded and stepped aside.
Maybe he's really a master of the hidden world? Maybe he didn't show his skills just now.
But the next scene made Shanhe dumbfounded!
I saw that the girl was holding an iron pot in one hand, and out of nowhere in the other hand she took out a bright fruit knife, and rushed towards the green-maned beast with messy steps.
What's even more terrifying is that after rushing out two or three meters, she actually closed her eyes again, and her hands kept slashing like a big windmill, like a fight in the market!
Seeing this, Shanhe Fang woke up to the fact that this girl was not a master at all, at best she was just a foolish woman!
Seeing that the blue-maned beast had raised its arms, its five fingers spread, its sharp fingertips flashing with cold light, waiting for the girl to throw itself into the net.
Shanhe sighed, the force under his feet was fierce, the inner breath surged, and the last hair came first, and at the moment when the green-maned beast waved his arms, he saved the girl from the clutches of the demon beast.
But because he was too close, he still had five blood marks on his back from the blue-maned beast.
After feeling "carried away" and landed, the girl opened her eyes with a confused face:
"You ......"
"Okay, don't do it! I don't care what grudges you have, but what you did just now is no different from sending you to death! Run when you have the chance, don't mess around!" After speaking, Shanhe said no more, got up and walked towards the green-maned beast.
In the end, he still has to fight this demon beast!
And the girl sitting on the ground, after hearing these words and seeing the scar on the man's back, she suddenly bit her lower lip hard, and her eyes became rosy.
She knew that it must have been the man who saved her, and while she was grateful, a deep hatred welled up in her heart!
This hatred is not for the mountains and rivers, nor for the demon beast, but for herself. How she longed to kill this monster with her own hands, but she knew that she didn't have that strength at all. What she hated was her weakness and powerlessness!
Witnessing the scene of the person who had just been saved, the bluemaned beast had already noticed that this man was not very human, and his expression was a little more cautious.
And the mountains and rivers are no longer twisted, and since they have lost the opportunity to sneak attack, they take the initiative to attack.
He used both fists and feet, his momentum was like a rainbow, and a set of familiar moves that he had practiced since he was a child beckoned to the green-maned beast with the sound of the bulging wind.
But after a few rounds, not to mention the situation of the green-maned beast, Shanhe was angry with his own performance!
Because of the battle, he found that after he was demoted to the sixth layer of the Meng Rank, the regression of his combat power was even more terrifying than he expected!
Whether it is speed, strength or internal breath stock, at most it is only six or seven percent of the previous one, and every time he makes a move, he has a feeling of powerlessness!
So as soon as I started fighting, I already lost mentally. Coupled with the gap in their own strength, within two minutes, Shanhe was knocked to the ground by the blue-maned beast, and his situation was worrying.
