Li Changan chased him all the way with a torch, and the firelight reflected the rock wall, showing a moist sheen.
The cave is cramped, with only one person able to pass through in the narrowest part, and only three or four people walking side by side in the widest part. If it weren't for the green bloodstains along the way, Li Changan would really wonder if he had been tricked by a monster.
How does such a huge body move in such a small cave?
However, the blood stains on the ground and the smell of the spider demon surging in the nose could not be faked. Under the Chonglong Jade Talisman, all smells could not be concealed, but...he covered his nose, it really stunk!
But the stench returned, and the air was not as turbid as expected.
Suddenly, Li Changan's expression changed.
He wiped some unknown blood on his body with his fingers, raised it in the air, and felt a slight chill on his fingers.
This cave is ventilated!
This means there may also be an exit on the other side of the hole.
Unable to tolerate such a cautious and slow pursuit, Li Changan cheered up and quickly rushed into the depths of the cave.
…
"Who is there?"
Li Changan suddenly stopped running.
He stretched the torch forward, and some vague shadows appeared in his peripheral vision.
For a long time, there was no response from the front. Li Changan pressed his sword forward, and these silent shadows were slowly absorbed into the firelight.
Li Changan's pupils shrank and he tightened his grip on the sword hilt.
A large number of people actually appeared in the cave that I thought was a secret passage.
The cave suddenly expanded a lot here, but was blocked tightly by the crowd that suddenly appeared in front, leaving only a small gap in the middle.
These people included men, women, old and young. Judging by their clothing, there were traveling businessmen, farmers, woodcutter and even bandits. The only thing they had in common was that their faces were dull and motionless.
Li Changan asked tentatively.
"monster?"
Not a word was said to the other person.
"stranger?"
The other side was motionless.
Li Changan slowly approached and suddenly stabbed a man dressed as a bandit with his sword scabbard.
When the scabbard touched the man, he "flew" to the rock wall like a balloon, immediately flattened, and then lay on the ground, like a deflated doll.
"It turns out to be a skin bag."
Li Changan spoke lightly, but his heart was very cold.
The spider's way of hunting is to first inject venom into the prey's body, wait until the flesh and blood and internal organs are gone, and then suck it out, leaving only a layer of outer skin.
This dense crowd turned out to be empty human shells, the remains of victims.
As Li Changan walked through these empty shells, he couldn't help but slow down. He seemed to be enveloped in a huge cold in the silence. He suddenly felt that the thin spiritual energy in the modern world was a blessing, at least there were less of these terrifying monsters.
suddenly.
Behind him, in the dim light of the torch, the lips of a corpse suddenly wriggled and slowly spit out a black sharp object. The object extended towards Li Changan's back and turned out to be the sharp tentacles of the spider demon.
The tentacle slowly aimed at the back of Li Changan's head and stabbed it hard.
A room of electric light and flint.
Li Changan turned sideways quickly like a long eye on his back, and brushed his foot against the back of his head. The long sword passed out from his armpit and sank into the empty shell.
A shrill howl sounded from the empty shell, and a black shadow broke out of the body, smashing through many wreckage and sinking into the depths of the cave.
Li Changan rolled up the corner of his robe, wiped off the smelly green blood on the sword, and said with a smile:
"I'm just waiting for you to do this!"
After that, he quickly followed, but stopped after only a few steps.
The cave has reached the end, and the spider demon is waiting for him there.
But Li Changan showed a playful smile.
At the end of the cave is a small stone room. There is a small opening on the top of the stone room. A beam of sunlight shines down from it, shining on the woman lying in the center. This woman is covered in gauze and her skin is better than snow.
Turning around, Chu Chu was pitiful, her color was even three points better than that of the dancing girl.
Li Changan couldn't help but show a look of love and pity.
"pity……"
A trace of pride and resentment flashed in the woman's eyes, and her red lips were slightly opened.
"Master Tao...poof!"
The woman or spider demon spat out a mouthful of demon blood in disbelief.
Li Changan had pulled out the sword from her heart, wiped off the blood, and sheathed the sword.
"...It's a pity that such a stunning beauty was eaten by monsters."
This sword finally eliminated the spider monster. After death, the monster revealed its prototype and turned into a giant spider, which burst the beauty's skin and filled the entire stone room.
Li Changan retreated to the cave, and by the light of the torch, he took out the yellow-covered book from his arms, opened it, and found a ferocious big spider painted on the page.
"no!"
Li Changan was quite uninterested. Unlike the previous painted ghosts and Bai Zheng, this spider page had no color, only monotonous lines.
Suddenly, there was a chaotic shouting from the front.
Li Changan put away the yellow-covered book and raised his head. A large group of bandits had blocked the way ahead.
…………
"Kill this stinking Taoist priest."
"Avenge the leaders!"
"But this Taoist priest is very powerful."
"What are you afraid of? There are many of us!"
"He killed all the leaders by himself."
"But he was also injured."
"If he can defeat monsters, he must know magic!"
The bandits suddenly fell silent. They were accustomed to licking blood with the blades of their swords. They were more in awe of monsters and magic than martial arts.
Seeing this, Li Changan breathed a sigh of relief. After the repeated battles, he was already very tired. But...
A voice sounded faintly among the bandits.
"Have you forgotten the eighth rule of our Yanzhou Green Forest?"
There was a small commotion among the bandits, and the voice continued.
"Avenge your brother and you will inherit everything from him."
The bandits' breathing quickened, and the hesitation in their eyes when they looked at Li Changan diminished, and they looked more greedy like hungry wolves.
Finally, a bandit couldn't help but emerged from the crowd.
"Grandma, you guys, you eggless cowards, don't try to steal from me."
Having said that, he moved forward to attack. This action was like a signal gun.
"Kill this bull's nose."
"Avenge your brother!"
"I want to be the leader too!"
The bandits shouted garbled words and swarmed forward. The leader slowed down at this time.
Li Changan sighed, first because he had to work hard again, but because of the stupidity of these bandits, who were used as gunmen for such a simple thing.
And in such a narrow space, how useful can it be with so many people.
Li Changan advanced instead of retreating, unsheathed his sword, and the dense light of the sword made the cave feel cold.
Blood flowers bloom.
The talkative bandit has been stabbed by his sword.
…………
In Juyi Hall, the red human blood and green demon blood have merged into one color.
suddenly.
There were bursts of noise from the dark cave, and then a group of panic-looking bandits ran out. They were fighting with each other, and kept looking back in panic, as if something terrifying was chasing them behind them.
The person at the head was even more panic-stricken. He tripped over the corpses on the ground and fell to the ground. Like a domino being knocked over, the bandits rolled into a ball and fell into the smelly blood and cold corpses.
A bandit, half of his hand missing, suddenly pointed his severed hand at the cave.
"Monster...monster!"
"monster?"
Li Changan paused slightly as he just walked out of the cave. He was covered in blood, his cloth shoes were soaked in blood, and he left a long series of bloody footprints behind him.
"Are you talking about me?"
He was in a trance.
In the narrow cave behind them, in the dim firelight, bandits rushed up in twos, twos, and threes, menacingly but full of flaws, as if they were taking turns sending their vitals to the tip of Li Changan's sword.
How many have I stabbed to death?
Seventy or eighty? He couldn't remember clearly in his daze. He only remembered that in the end he could barely hold the sword, but no one dared to take even one step towards him.
Li Changan took a step forward, and the bandit, who was heartbroken, took ten steps back.
When he walked out of Juyi Hall, the bandits were hiding at a distance with their hands tied.
Li Changan turned his eyes away, and the bandits trembled.
"Where's my donkey?"
The bandits looked at each other in confusion. One of them seemed to want to speak, but was quickly held back by the others.
Just kidding, is it possible to tell this god of murder that brothers, your donkey has grown fat and has been pulled by the cook?
There was no reply, and Li Changan didn't bother to ask again. He whistled, and a string of copper bells immediately sounded.
Not long after, a big green donkey with shiny black hair ran happily from the corner, chewing vegetable leaves in its mouth.
Immediately after it, a fat man with a fleshy face and exposed breasts came out from behind him. He was holding a butcher's knife in his hand and had a muddy hoof mark on his face.
He grunted and chased for a while, but couldn't even touch the donkey's butt, so he had to put his hands on his hips and curse:
"Damn beast..."
As soon as the words came out, the bandits here rushed over and blocked the words.
Li Changan slowly climbed onto the donkey's back without even looking at it.
The sound of copper bells swayed out of the village gate.
