The sword flashed, and the pig-headed demon barbarian charged up a sword. The power of the sword did not decrease, and continued to slash at the neck of the leopard-headed demon barbarian, directly cutting off its head.
The leopard-headed monster stared angrily, and even to his death he couldn't figure out why the pig-headed monster, who had always cherished his life, wanted to kill himself at all costs, just to devour a Chu man? That's not the case, or he had already discovered that he had cuckolded him.
?
The golden light in Niu Xiaosheng's eyes faded, and he found that this soul-catching technique was really easy to use. No wonder so many people wanted to become soul cultivators. This kind of attack that directly affects the soul is really hard to guard against.
After walking along the damp and cold cave for a while, a strong stench hit my nostrils.
Niu Xiaosheng tore off a piece of cloth from his clothes, covered his nose, and continued walking forward, soon arriving at the bottom of the cave.
By the light of the fire here, you can see that the surrounding rock walls have been transformed into cells. People in ragged clothes and dirty faces are locked inside. It is not known what kind of torture they have suffered during this time.
He looked dull, and even when he saw Niu Xiaosheng coming in, he didn't react.
Suddenly some chewing sounds reached Niu Xiaosheng's ears. He turned his head towards the place where the sound came from and saw a figure with his back to him squatting on the ground eating something in the crowd.
Niu Xiaosheng frowned. The next moment, even if the firelight dimmed, everything in that cell appeared in his mind.
The owner of the back figure is an old man with sagging skin, folds that can trap mosquitoes, and covered with age spots. He is biting a young arm. Judging from the appearance of the arm, the owner must not be more than ten years old.
Logically speaking, the old man was quite old and his teeth should have been lost long ago, but at this moment, two rows of fine fangs were exposed in his mouth, and the bones of his arms were chewed up and swallowed directly along with the flesh.
Not only that, black claws sprouted from his hands and feet, and his belly was as swollen as a ten-month-old woman's belly, covered with ferocious veins.
Obviously, this old man has completely degenerated into a monster and is hopeless.
Even though he was mentally prepared, Niu Xiaosheng still felt a little uncomfortable. There were many demons scattered in each cell. The reason why it was so quiet was because he was full. There were many skeletons with tooth marks scattered on the ground.
No wonder the people around are all wearing dull clothes and expressions. In addition to being corroded by the evil spirit, they are locked up with these man-eating monsters all day long. If they are not stupid, they are going crazy.
Niu Xiaosheng sighed, "This is the sorrow of ordinary people in this world." He broke the iron locks of the cell one by one and opened the door, but the people inside did not react at all.
In desperation, he had to find a rope to tie together all the people who had not completely turned into monsters. As for the monsters who had already eaten people, he had to kill them one by one to prevent them from going out to cause trouble.
Excluding the dead demons, there were still two hundred and twenty-four common people alive, each one like a zombie, being dragged along by Niu Xiaosheng.
With so many burdens, Niu Xiaosheng could not continue to the next location, and he was always in an environment surrounded by such evil spirits. These common people would completely turn into monsters at any time.
When he came here, he happened to see an abandoned village at the foot of the mountain, which could be used to resettle these people.
With more than 200 people, Niu Xiaosheng couldn't walk much. It took him a long time to get out of the mountain and reach the foot of the mountain.
"Squeak!"
Find a relatively complete house in the village, place the people inside, and untie the ropes from their bodies.
There were more than two hundred people, most of them were adult men, only a few were women, and there were no elderly people or children. After all, in that kind of environment, the weakest resistance was the elderly and children.
Niu Xiaosheng selected two men from among those men who looked relatively strong but were most affected by the evil spirit. Then he spent some effort and used his masculine energy and blood to forcibly remove the evil spirit from their bodies.
gas.
In fact, this method is not advisable. The other party is an ordinary person who is weak and frail. If you are not careful, the power of Qi and blood will burst their blood vessels, and saving people will become murder.
But apart from this method, Niu Xiaosheng couldn't think of any other way. Fortunately, the two of them were lucky enough to hold on.
But even after the evil spirit was removed, the two of them still looked dumb, standing there motionless.
"Hey, wake up, do you understand what I'm saying?"
Niu Xiaosheng patted their cheeks, and finally even added a hint of soul power to his words. However, instead of waking them up, they actually made them roll their eyes and faint.
Seeing this situation, Niu Xiaosheng stopped torturing people. He was not professional in rescuing people, so he had to close the door, lock these people in the house, and then continue to go up the mountain to rescue people.
There are nine altars set up by Yaoman around the foot of the mountain. Why Niu Xiaosheng placed the altar at the foot of the mountain is not clear. It may be because the senior officials of Yaoman Palace think the feng shui at the foot of the mountain is good.
There are several demon barbarians stationed at each altar, and their strength ranges from the first level to the second level, and the strongest ones are only in the late stage of the second level.
The guards don't seem to be strong, but a single demon barbarian at the first level can massacre a small village of hundreds of people, so the guard sacrifices are enough. Except for the demon barbarian at the late second level, which cost Niu Xiaosheng a lot of effort.
, the rest of the demons and barbarians were easily dealt with.
By the time he rescued all the people at the nine altars, it was already the morning of the next day. Most of the time was spent traveling back and forth. The originally empty abandoned mountain village was already filled with more than a thousand people.
But compared to the people who died in the mountains, these more than a thousand people were only a small part.
"Are you two county detectives?"
Niu Xiaosheng asked the man and woman in front of him. Among the more than a thousand people who were rescued, these two were the only ones who stayed awake with the strength of a first-level warrior.
"To be honest, Li Qingqing was arrested in Qingshui County. This is my sister Li Siming. Some time ago, people visiting relatives discovered that a village outside the county had become an uninhabited village. Hundreds of people in the entire village had disappeared without a trace.
The county magistrate ordered us to investigate this matter. I am ashamed to say that before we could find any clues, this situation appeared in one village after another. For a while, people were panicked. Later, after several investigations, I finally found some clues and tracked it down here.
I didn't expect that it was a demon who committed evil. However, we were not good at martial arts and fell into the enemy's hands. If our benefactor hadn't appeared, we probably wouldn't have been able to hold on for long."
Li gently showed a look of fear.
"Actually, it's all my fault. If I hadn't insisted on following along, my little sister wouldn't have been discovered and ended up behind bars."
Next to him, Li Siming, who was wearing a green robe, was full of self-blame.
