Chapter 25: The Bloody Battle of Nomura
It is said that Zhang Fan heard the sound of his horse in the middle of the night, and hurried out of the hut with his sword on his back. As soon as he left the yard, he heard the sound of horses and the roar of unknown beasts again.
"Phew!"
Zhang Fan came to the courtyard and saw the black wind and white snow galloping towards him, and a black shadow followed behind the two horses, and the black shadow was rushing towards the horse. Seeing this, he was furious, and there was an idea of a beast to beat his horse again, so he shouted: "Evil beast! The black shadow heard Zhang Fan's loud shout, paused, and saw a purple strange sword qi shooting towards him, and the sword qi was like a divine dragon, pressing on his heart like a giant mountain, extremely uncomfortable. It had never encountered anything like this before, so it howled angrily and pounced on the purple sword qi regardless of it. Unfortunately, the purple sword qi actually passed through its claws and shot towards its abdomen, and then a wound appeared in the black shadow's abdomen, and then a sharp pain filled its mind, and it wailed.
Zhang Fan stabbed the black shadow with a sword, and quickly approached it without a trace, and found that the black shadow turned out to be a brute beast in the middle of the eighth grade-black bear. He didn't hesitate, he slashed at the black bear with his sword again, one move - the divine dragon into the sea (the second style of the Son of Heaven Sword Technique), and then a more powerful and domineering purple sword qi shot towards the black bear. The black bear hadn't paid attention to being attacked by Zhang Fan before, although it was injured this time, but when it saw the sword qi shooting again, it didn't dare to greet it, and rushed directly to the side, the sword qi didn't kill it, but just cut a large piece of flesh and blood on it.
The black bear was beaten by Zhang Fan in two consecutive moves, the pain was unbearable, his heart was full of anger, he roared and roared, and immediately rushed to Zhang Fan, raised his wide bear paws, and slapped Zhang Fan like Mount Tai. Zhang Fan saw that this beast dodged his fatal blow and attacked him again, and the bear paw looked a little shocked. He knew that the brute beasts, especially the black bear, had extremely strong physical strength, and he didn't want to fight with it, so he stepped on the side, and dodged the black bear's giant clutche. Seeing that he didn't hit the enemy with one blow, the black bear slapped again. Seeing this, Zhang Fan said in his heart: "This fool actually used the same move to attack again, it is simply looking for death." "Immediately take a sword and sword - the dragon entered the sea and slashed at the bear's paw. Immediately, the black bear's slap suddenly split into two, the blood flowed, and the black bear let out a terrible scream, and the sound shook the wild. Zhang Fan saw that the black bear was injured by himself, so he took advantage of the victory to pursue, and slashed at the black bear's chest with another sword, and suddenly a purple moon submerged into the bear's belly, and a long and deep hole appeared in the black bear's abdomen again, and blood and flesh were splashed. The injury of the black bear that was originally injured suddenly worsened, and it screamed again in a terrible rage, ready to kill the enemy desperately, so it jumped on its hind feet, and the entire bear body flew out, and the bloody mouth bit Zhang Fan with Sensen's red teeth. Zhang Fan saw that the black bear was desperate, so he immediately sent a fatal sword move to the black bear - the dragon entered the sea, and then a domineering purple sword qi collided with the angry black bear, the sword qi directly penetrated the bear body, and shot backwards, the black bear split in two from the middle and died, but the bear corpse still smashed towards Zhang Fan rapidly, shocking his hands numb and covered in blood. When Zhang Fan saw that the black bear was dead, he found that he was covered with filth from the bear's belly, and couldn't help but scold: "Damn beasts, if you die, you won't let people live in peace." ”
"Ah, Shaoxia, you killed that demon!" Zhang Fan had just killed the black bear when he heard the old man's voice coming from behind him. He hurriedly turned around, smiled, and said to the old man: "Uncle, don't worry, that hateful black bear has been killed by me, and there will never be a black bear in the village to harass you in the future." ”
"Really?" a crisp and pleasant female voice came from the old man's side.
Hearing this, Zhang Fan looked at the old man's side and found that a young girl in a white-gray coarse cloth dress was standing there quietly, with a look of innocence and joy on her face, but it was a little dark at night, and she couldn't see her face.
The old man saw that the young man was looking at his little granddaughter blankly, smiled, and said to Zhang Fan: "Young man, this is my little granddaughter next to me, and her nickname is Ling'er." Then he said to Ling'er: "Ling'er, this young man is a guest who came to our house tonight, he just helped our village get rid of the demon who specializes in eating people, you came to see the young man." ”
When the little girl Ling'er heard this, she slowly stepped forward and said timidly: "Ling'er has seen the eldest brother, and the eldest brother helped us get rid of the monsters in our village, it's so amazing!"
Zhang Fan saw Ling'er come forward, looked at her again, and finally saw her face clearly, and found that the little girl Ling'er was one meter five or six tall, with a melon seed face, fair skin, a small ponytail on her head, her eyes were like twinkling stars in the night sky, flickering, her small mouth was slightly red, and there were still a few traces of sweat on her forehead, she looked very cute. When he heard Ling'er's praise, his previously tired and nervous heart slowly calmed down, smiled, and whispered to her: "Ling'er, a very nice name, just like a lark in the mountains, with a beautiful voice and endless spiritual rhyme. Brother, I'm here to spend the night at your house today, and it's nothing to help you kill a black bear, hehe. ”
While Zhang Fan was chatting with the old man's grandfather and grandson, the villagers in the village, who were woken up by the sound of beasts and fights, rushed here one after another.
"Grandpa Situ, what's going on in your house?" A curious voice came from the woods next to the hut, and then a young man of fifteen or sixteen years old, dressed in coarse cloth and gray, ran out with a torch.
"Hehe, it turned out to be Xiao Yong'er, are you here?" Old man Situ asked with a smile when he saw someone coming.
The gray-clothed young man smiled and replied happily, "Yes, Grandpa Situ." I heard this noise just now, so I sneaked here, but I didn't expect that a guest came to your house and killed the monster so that we could come out and hide and seek every night. ”
"Uncle, what's going on at your house?" Just as the young man was greeting the old man Situ, a peasant woman who looked a little plump and wore a blue cloth skirt came to the gate of the courtyard and asked the old man.
"It turned out to be Cuilian's nephew and daughter-in-law, there was a brute beast in my house, but fortunately, this young man helped me kill it. The old man's face still had a lingering look on his face, and he replied to the peasant woman who asked questions. As he spoke, he looked at Zhang Fan, who was dressed in blood-stained white.
When the woman in the blue dress heard this, she looked at Zhang Fan, and found that this young man was one meter seven or eight tall, but he was carrying a black sword one or two meters long, wearing a fine white robe, but it was a little tattered and dirty, covered with blood, and he was extremely handsome and masculine, but he showed a faint sorrow, so he pursed his lips, his face showed surprise, and asked Zhang Fan: "Young man, you actually killed the demon who attacked the village tonight?" You have done our village a great favor, go to the slave house tomorrow morning as a guest, and the slave family will definitely treat the young man well. ”
When Zhang Fan heard this, he found that the blue skirt peasant woman had a beautiful face, and heard that she warmly invited him to her house as a guest, and he was a little happy in his heart, so he hurriedly said to the woman: "Thank you, Auntie." ”
At this time, several villagers had already come to the door of the old man's house.
A middle-aged man saw that the white-robed young man had killed the black bear that had been causing trouble to the village for many years, and said to Zhang Fan with a grateful face: "Thank you Shaoxia, our village will be much more peaceful in the future." ”
Several people next to him also expressed their gratitude to Zhang Fan.
Zhang Fan chatted with everyone for a while, looked at the black bear on the ground, and said to everyone: "Uncles and aunts, this black bear has been a disaster for the village for many years, I will divide him into several pieces tonight, and one of you will take some back to eat, and it can be regarded as revenge for the villagers who were killed by it." ”
When everyone heard this, they hurriedly refused: "Shaoxia, we have no way to repay you for helping us kill the black bear, how can we still ask for your black bear?"
When Zhang Fan heard this, he smiled and said, "Uncles and aunts, this is a little bit of my heart, you can accept it." Besides, I'll probably be bothering you for the next few days. ”
Everyone couldn't bear to refuse Shaoxia, and because this black bear had indeed killed countless villagers, their hearts were full of hatred for it, so they didn't refuse, but just replied: "Thank you Shaoxia, we really hate this demon, but only half is enough, and the other Shaoxia keep it for themselves, otherwise we will be uneasy in our hearts." ”
Zhang Fan originally wanted to divide the bear meat equally among the villagers, but seeing their determined looks, he couldn't force it. Then Zhang Fan quickly divided the two or three meters long black bear into several pieces, half of which was given to the villagers, and half was taken home by the old man Situ.
Everyone was very happy when they got the bear meat, and they exchanged greetings with Zhang Fan again, saying that they would come home tomorrow.
After Zhang Fan said goodbye to the villagers, he took the frightened Hei Feng and Bai Xue back to the courtyard, and then entered the house.
