Chapter 40(1/2)
Soon, hundreds of Tsing Yi soldiers began a carpet-like search of the nearby areas.
Xu Chong looked around, seeing vegetation swaying and rustling everywhere.
"Immortal Lord, there are dozens of horses lying in the grass over there. They are probably left behind by those horse dealers."
"Let's go over and have a look..."
Everyone quickly walked to the area where the demon had just hidden, and sure enough, there were dozens of horses lying in the grass.
These horses ranged from big to small. After careful counting, there were actually thirty-four horses.
They lay on the ground, motionless, and made almost no sound.
Seeing Xu Chong approaching with a group of sword and shield soldiers, the horses looked at them blankly for a moment, and then they all stood up and looked at Xu Chong, crying non-stop, as if asking for help.
Seeing this scene, Xu Chong instantly understood what was going on.
The art of animal creation! It is estimated that all these animals were transformed by humans.
When I was on earth before, I read a Chinese fairy tale, which said that those who succeeded in the art of making animals would return to their human form as long as they fed them water.
He plans to try it to see if it really works.
Thinking of this, Xu Chong immediately ordered several soldiers: "Get some water to feed them."
"Yes, Immortal Lord!"
After hearing the order, someone immediately went to do it.
Soon, several soldiers came over with shields and brought some water, and each horse was fed some.
As a result, what is disappointing is that after drinking water, they still did not return to their human form, and there was no abnormal reaction at all.
Apparently, the statement in Liaozhai is false and untenable.
What if people who have been affected by the animal-making spell cannot drink water? If they survive, won't they all die of thirst?
They were almost dying of thirst, how could these monsters carry them on their way? Then what value did they have?
Therefore, the method to crack the animal-making technique will definitely not be that simple.
Thinking of this, Xu Chong frowned secretly.
"We must catch those horse dealers as soon as possible and find out how to crack the animal-making technique. Otherwise, I'm afraid that as time goes by, these people who have been enchanted by the witchcraft will have some sequelae..."
Thinking of this, he immediately waved his hand and said: "Leave a few people to look after these horses. The rest of the people, follow me into the grass to search!"
After saying that, he mounted the white tiger and got into the grass in front of him.
At this moment, soldiers in blue can be seen everywhere in the open wilderness searching for targets.
Since the white tiger had sharper ears and eyes, Xu Chong took it with him and searched forward.
We searched several hundred meters forward and before we knew it, we had reached the river bank. During the whole process, we found nothing.
"The methods of these guys are really weird. Five men and one woman, six living people, just evaporated out of thin air?"
Xu Chong stood by the river, a little annoyed.
Anyone else would be depressed.
He was about to catch all these monsters, but in the end, all the prey that reached his mouth flew away.
Suddenly, the white tiger stretched its neck, raised its ears and looked upstream, "Immortal Lord, there seems to be something crossing the river on the water!"
"Is there something crossing the river?"
Xu Chong's heart moved and he quickly turned his head to look.
I saw the upper reaches of the river, about tens of meters away from them, and saw a few furry little heads exposed on the slowly flowing water, swimming slowly towards the other side.
Taking a closer look, I found that it was a group of cats, not too many, not too many, just six.
After observation, the speed of these cats crossing the river seemed very slow, and their hands and feet swimming in the water seemed very clumsy.
Before Xu Chong was reborn, he had a yellow cat in his hometown. That guy swam very fast in the river, but he was nothing like the cats in front of him.
"There's something wrong with those cats, catch them!"
As soon as the order was given, the dozen or so soldiers in green clothes who were closest to the place rushed out like wolves and tigers, then jumped into the water with a "plop, plop", and chased the group of cats as fast as possible.
The six cats had just swam to the middle of the river when they heard water splashing behind them, so they seemed very nervous and swam even more panicked.
At this time, dozens of Tsing Yi soldiers heard the sound and came over.
Seeing this scene, Xu Chong hurriedly ordered: "Throw rocks and clods at them!"
Soon, dozens of soldiers picked up stones and soil from the ground and threw them frantically towards the middle of the river.
There was only a series of "dong dong dong" muffled sounds falling into the water, and a large number of hard objects fell on the water around the cats like hailstones, which frightened them and caused them to run around, extremely frightened.
suddenly,
With a muffled sound of "bang", a stone the size of a fist drew a beautiful parabola in mid-air and hit one of the cat heads firmly.
In an instant, the cat sank directly into the water without even uttering a scream. Not long after, the body of a strong man appeared on the river.
Taking a closer look, he was one of the horse dealers just now.
As everyone frantically threw stones, all five cats remaining on the water were hit, revealing their true identities...
"Go quickly and drag the bodies ashore. Whether they are dead or alive, pick them all up for me!"
Under Xu Chong's order, a dozen Tsing Yi soldiers who had jumped into the water immediately dragged all the horse traders to the shore.
Five strong men and one freckled woman.
Lying neatly on the ground, motionless.
The tiger servant stepped forward and breathed, and found that two of the strong men were dead because their heads were broken.
The remaining three strong men and the freckled woman were still breathing, but they seemed to have choked on a lot of water and had injuries on their heads, so they all fell into a coma.
How could Xu Chong let go of such a good opportunity?
He directly ordered: "Break their lute bones and wake them up!"
There was only a crunching sound of broken bones.
ah!!!
Several consecutive screams suddenly rang out over the wilderness.
The three men and one woman who had been in a coma suddenly woke up. Their bodies were struggling and twisting, and they were wailing in pain.
Xu Chong was riding on the white tiger, looking at them condescendingly, and said coldly: "Run? Why don't you run?"
The three strong men lay on the ground with pale faces, panting heavily.
Feeling that the bones of the lute had been broken and reduced to half a useless person, the faces of the three of them turned gloomy and their expressions were full of despair.
On the other hand, the freckled woman's face was distorted in pain, but she still looked at Xu Chong with hatred in her eyes and screamed: "Boy, you'd better not fall into the hands of our boss, otherwise you will not be able to survive."
, you can’t die if you want..."
"My boss?"
Xu Chong's heart was moved, and he thought to himself, so there is an accomplice? Could it be that demon who is proficient in the art of walking through walls?
Thinking of this, he waved his hand and said: "Tie them up and take them over!"
More than a dozen soldiers in green clothes swarmed up and bound the four people tightly.
Then he escorted them back to the place where they were hiding before.
Looking at the dozens of horses standing in the grass, Xu Chong turned to look at the freckled woman and said lightly: "How to restore them to their human form?"
The freckled woman stared at him with cold eyes, completely unmoved.
Xu Chong shook her head and smiled, then turned to ask her three accomplices, "How to crack it?"
Although the three strong men were pale, they spoke very harshly, and all of them remained silent.
Xu Chong sighed softly, pointed at one of the strong men with yellow teeth, and ordered the soldiers around him: "Drag him out!"
In an instant, several soldiers in green viciously pushed the strong man with yellow teeth to the ground, and then all pulled out their sharp waist knives.
Xu Chong said calmly: "Cut off his left leg!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw a flash of cold light.
In an instant, blood spattered, and the strong man with yellow teeth let out a scream like a slaughtering pig, and fainted from the pain on the spot.
His left leg had been chopped into two pieces, and blood gushed out like a fountain from the fracture.
Such a bloody scene shocked several of the accomplices.
Xu Chong covered his nose, turned around, and continued to ask: "How to crack it?"
The freckled woman and her two accomplices remained silent, but there was already cold sweat on their foreheads.
Xu Chong waved his hand, "Cut his head off!"
Whoosh!
