Orion King Liubao walked slowly along the mountain path towards home, and the scene he saw that day reappeared in his mind.
The dead white dog was lying in the grass by the stream, and the dagger in his hand was hastily cutting the white dog's flesh.
Squeak——
Pushing open the wooden door, Wang Liubao put down the long bow on his back in despair, and the delicious taste of dog meat once again filled his lips, teeth and tongue.
He shook his head violently, shaking off the heavy guilt from his mind, and lit the candle on the table.
As soon as the weak candlelight illuminated the room, Wang Liubao saw a pair of eyes lighting up in the corner, looking directly at him.
"You, why are you here?!"
Wang Liubao subconsciously jumped up from his chair and immediately lowered his voice and said, "Are you hungry? Are you thirsty? I'll get you something to eat."
He turned around and walked into the kitchen, took a piece of bacon and two bowls of water, soaked the bacon in one bowl and put it on the table.
A slight gnawing sound sounded in the room,
Under the candlelight, Wang Liubao lowered his voice and said: "The people from Zhenfusi will take action tonight. Before they find you, leave quickly. If you don't leave, it will be too late..."
Boom!
A loud noise came from down the mountain. Wang Liubao's face turned pale, he stood up suddenly and pushed open the wooden door.
In the village at the foot of the mountain, firelight shines.
————
"coming."
Cheng Juxiu looked calm and raised his sword.
boom!
Niu Wenshu took the lead, kicked open the wooden door, and suddenly drew out the simple knife from his waist. The sharp blade was like a pure white horse under the moonlight, and slashed towards the black figure prostrate on the ground.
The black figure was just like what the villagers described, covered in black hair, resembling a human and a wolf, and was munching on the fishy and strong-smelling blood food in the barrel.
Niu Wen's bookman hadn't arrived yet, but the sword energy arrived first.
From the blade, a turbulent air flow spread out, splitting the barrel in the black shadow's arms into pieces from a distance of five steps.
In an instant, sawdust flew everywhere and blood splashed everywhere.
The sword energy remained unabated and struck at the black shadow's neck.
sand--
The long hair on the black shadow's body was cut and broken, and a blood arrow spattered from his neck.
The black shadow turned to look at Niu Wenshu blankly, his huge body slowly stood up, and took a photo with his palm.
clang!
The palm of his hand and the Pu Dao collided in the air and were in a stalemate. Niu Wenshu held the handle of the knife tightly with one hand and supported the back of the knife with the other hand. He bent his knees to resist the opponent's unreasonable force, and his face turned red abnormally.
The black figure took a step forward, pressing down Niu Wenshu's knife with his furry right hand, while holding the last piece of bloody liver in his left hand, he put it into his mouth and chewed it.
The wound on its neck that had been cut by the sword healed quickly, and its figure, which was already a head taller than Niu Wenshu, seemed to have expanded a bit, making it even more oppressive.
Swipe!
The walls of the surrounding houses were all set with torches,
The soldiers of the Zhenfu Division, who had already been lurking in place, took out their powerful crossbows, stood behind the courtyard wall, behind the window, and on the roof, and pulled the trigger of the powerful crossbows.
Whoosh whoosh——
Crossbow arrows made of fine steel shot out towards the black shadow like poisonous snakes.
The arrow shafts of these crossbow arrows were all covered with yellow paper talismans, which penetrated the thick hair on the black shadow's body and penetrated deep into the flesh.
"howl!!"
The black shadow howled in pain, flicked his left hand on his body, broke the crossbow arrow and knocked it down. He clenched his right hand tightly, crushed Niu Wenshu's simple knife to pieces, and punched it down.
At the critical moment,
bass!
The long sword without swords suddenly shot out from the dilapidated house and flew rapidly against the ground.
Wherever it passed, patches of weeds broke apart silently, tearing out a straight cone-shaped trajectory.
Fallen leaves were flying in the air, swept by the howling wind, and dragged behind the flying sword,
The solid rammed earth ground formed by constant trampling was penetrated by the sword energy and torn apart without warning.
The tip of the sword pierced the black shadow's chest, and half of the blade was submerged in it.
"Roar!!!"
The black shadow took half a step back, raised his burly arms and grasped the sword on his chest. He ignored the blood splattering with both hands and exerted great force.
The flying sword made a heart-wrenching sound of metal twisting and squeaking, trembling violently, and bit by bit the edge of the sword was moving towards the black shadow's neck and head.
Boom!
The dark shadow retreated instead of advancing, kicked Niu Wenshu in the chest, and kicked him violently out, crashing into the broken house.
Feijian's forward momentum suddenly stalled. Taking advantage of this fleeting gap,
The black shadow pulled out a long sword and threw it to the ground. His long and thick legs bent and gathered strength. His whole burly body seemed to be loaded with springs and he jumped towards the village.
Five feet, ten feet, between the rabbit and the falcon, the black shadow has escaped the shooting range of Zhenfusi's crossbow. It bounced several times and jumped into the forest, disappearing into the vast sea of forests under the night.
"cough--"
In the dilapidated house without the wooden door, Niu Wenshu blushed, stood up from the wreckage of the broken table and chairs, and said angrily, "Let Xingxun laugh."
"It's not the judge's fault, we all made a misjudgment."
Cheng Juxiu frowned and said: "It's not a demon, but a zombie among demons. A strange species that can only be raised in a place where the underworld is stored.
No wonder the powerful crossbow arrow with the demon subduing talisman on it failed to kill in one hit."
Li Ang asked: "Did it run away?"
"Can't run far."
Cheng Juxiu shook his head and said: "The corpse evil can only survive by eating fresh blood every day. The more it eats, the stronger it becomes.
Now that it is seriously injured, it will definitely follow its instinct and look for live food in the nearby mountains.
Judge Niu, let the dogs follow you, and then take out the Haotian Bell."
"yes."
Niu Wenshu walked out of the room and issued an order.
He asked someone to bring a wooden box, opened the lid, and took out a heavy copper bell that was one arm high.
"This is one of the twenty-four Haotian Bells in Zhenzhou City. It was borrowed to deter evil spirits and slow down their speed."
Cheng Juxiu explained: "There are also ones in Shatao Village, but they are not as good as this one."
Niu Wenshu asked the soldiers to use brackets to support the Haotian Bronze Bell and place it at the entrance of the village to ring with a mallet.
The bell sounded slightly weak at first, but after hitting it hard for a dozen times, it became extremely loud.
Niu Wenshu left ten soldiers to guard Shatao Village, and called the village chief Zhou Pingchun, asking him to summon the people in the village to ring the bell in turn, and never stop.
He himself, with the remaining people, led by the thin dog, held up the torch and followed the blood trail.
Li Ang put on his leather armor, took the Nightmare Bell, and followed Cheng Juxiu to raid the rear.
At night, the shadows of the trees in the mountains and forests are whirling, the figures are looking longingly under the light of torches, the fallen leaves are trampled on with the soles of their feet, and the hoarse and unpleasant calls of night owls are heard constantly above the head.
"Hoo, ho."
Li Ang wore a slightly heavy leather armor, clutched the Nightmare Bell, and trekked in the forest.
A small dog barked from ahead, and it seemed like the blood trail had spread all the way up the mountain.
"The corpse is coming up the mountain."
Cheng Juxiu stood still, his eyes slightly focused, looking towards the top of the mountain through the dense canopy of trees.
This steep mountain peak to the southwest of Shatao Village is split into two at a high point, with a cliff opening. The stone walls on both sides are exposed, and there is no grass growing on it.
The closest point can only allow two people to pass, and the farthest point is ten feet away.
"Judge Niu, you go to the east cliff, while Risheng and I go to the west cliff."
Cheng Juxiu took out a piece of yellow paper talisman from the iron box, twisted it casually, and stuck it on Li Ang's leather armor.
Light body charm.
