166,166 Watchtower City Lord(1/3)
Lin Yehuo and Zou Liang saw a figure flashing past outside Kuaiji Mountain, and they immediately chased after him.
The figure shuttled through the forest at an extremely fast speed, seeming to be running upwards. The mountainous area was undulating, and the figure disappeared for a moment and then reappeared.
After a few trips back and forth, it disappeared without a trace.
Zou Liang stood on the hillside and looked around. Lin Yehuo jumped down from the tree and shook his head - the figure was gone.
Zou Liang said "split up and look for each other" and was about to run into the forest. However, Lin Yehuo caught him and slapped him on the head. "I'll give you a damn! You want to go to the barren mountains and forests?"
where?"
Zou Liang rubbed the back of his head and was quite dissatisfied, and looked at Lin Yehuo - what happened to the barren mountains and wild forests? I grew up in a pack of wolves...
Lin Yehuo curled his lips - it's amazing how well a pack of wolves has raised them? The wolves are the easiest to get lost!
Zou Liang continued to rub the back of his head.
Huo Feng warned him, "Don't run around. If you lose it, I won't be able to explain to your brothers when I go back."
General Zuo shut himself up again, but he didn't run around, so he asked, "What should I do if I lose track of you?"
"Just throw it away." Lin Yehuo didn't care. He hooked his fingers at Zou Liang and said, "Looking at that man's movements, he is obviously familiar with the terrain. He showed up just now to lead us in."
Zou Liang nodded, he also felt that the other party did it on purpose.
"So if you want to lead us into the mountain, we won't go in!" After saying that, Huofeng pulled Zou Liang out.
The two of them had just walked a few steps when they suddenly heard a "bang, bang..." sound coming from the mountain.
In the silent mountain forest at night, the sound was very real. Not only was there a sound, the ground was also shaking gently...
Zou Liang frowned, turned around, and looked in the direction of the top of the mountain.
Lin Yehuo also thought that the sound sounded like some kind of heavy footsteps, but who had such heavy footsteps? How fat must he be?
The sound of footsteps became clearer and clearer, and suddenly, a puff of white gas emerged from the top of the mountain.
Zou Liang became alert, as if he had been awakened to some kind of wild nature deep in his blood. He stared at the top of the mountain and felt a hint of danger.
The footsteps paused for a moment, but soon, a human figure appeared on the top of the mountain.
Looking from the bottom of the mountain, even from such a distance, you can still feel the huge size of the body.
Zou Liang made a visual inspection and found that the human figure was at least one foot tall, with a particularly large head in outline, wearing an animal-skin-like outfit, and holding a stick in his hand.
Under the moonlight, the huge human figure seemed to be panting, with white air coming out of its head from time to time.
At this time, the rain in the sky had stopped, the dark clouds overhead just dispersed, and the moonlight shone down...
Lin Yehuo and Zou Liang on the hillside clearly saw the giant's side face - it turned out to be a bird's face.
The two of them stared at the giant on the top of the mountain, and they both thought of the story that the Demon King told them not long ago... This costume felt exactly the same as the giant mummy in the cave that the Demon King said he had witnessed back then.
Lin Yehuo, who originally wanted to go down the mountain, turned around and ran up the mountain, muttering, "What a guy! He's full of energy!"
Zou Liang also ran up after him.
But the two of them had just walked a few steps when suddenly, they heard a scream coming from the woods on the side of the mountainside not far away.
I heard several voices ringing at the same time. It seemed that several people were frightened, and there were cries and calls for help at the same time.
The giant turned his head, as if he heard the sound, turned around, and ran to the other side.
"Oh!" Lin Yehuo was so impatient that he wanted to tell him to wait and chat for a while before leaving...
But the giant over there has run away, and there are cries again on the mountainside here.
The two had no choice but to go to the mountainside to rescue people.
…
Following the sound, they passed through a dense bush. By the moonlight, Zou Liang and Lin Yehuo discovered a shallow pit behind a lying dead tree. In the pit, several people were lying in various directions.
A group of young people, their hands and feet were tied, were struggling in the pit for help.
Lin Yehuo counted exactly seven, and they looked quite young. There were a few hoes in the pit, so he asked, "Are you from Jiangjia Village?"
The seven farmers all nodded and asked the two heroes to save their lives.
Zou Liang and Lin Yehuo went down and picked up the seven people and untied them.
Several people were frightened,
Zou Liang asked how they got here.
What the seven villagers said was consistent with what the village chief said. Someone came to ask for help just now, saying that his wife and children were trapped in a carriage. When they ran out, there was indeed a carriage on the official road, but there was no tiger nearby.
The villagers accompanied the man to the carriage. When the man lifted the curtain, there was nothing in the carriage... He began to cry, saying that his wife and children must have been eaten by tigers.
The villagers persuaded the man, saying that if the person died, there should be blood on the ground. If not, he might have escaped... At this time, they heard a woman's cry for help coming from the forest, and the villagers ran in with the man.
The forest, but as soon as I entered the forest, everything went dark... When I woke up, it was pitch black all around, and they were still tied up. At the same time...
Several villagers pointed to the top of the mountain and shouted incoherently:
"What was that just now?"
"Have you seen that monster?!"
"Is that a mountain god? Doesn't the mountain god shine..."
"Monster!"
Several villagers screamed in fear. Lin Yehuo and Zou Liang originally wanted to go up to the top of the mountain to see if the giant was still there. But several villagers held them back and refused to let go. They had no choice but to take them down the mountain first.
On the way, Lin Yehuo and Zou Liang asked several people in detail about the situation when they were taken captive.
The seven people said the same thing, saying that their vision went dark when they entered the forest... It sounded like they had fainted collectively.
Zou Liang checked several villagers and found that there were no serious injuries, only some scratches. Because the seven of them fainted at the same time, and no one was seen attacking them... then they probably were not knocked unconscious, but were knocked unconscious.
Stunned by internal force.
…
When the two of them took the villagers back to the Yamen, Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang happened to rescue the unlucky Wu Damao and brought them to the Yamen.
Wu Damao suffered a lot. His family's shop was surrounded, and a group of people broke in and wanted to arrest him. If Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang hadn't arrived in time, they would have been arrested by the villagers of Jiangjia Village.
According to Wu Damao's account, he has been helping in the shop these two days and has never been to Jiangjia Village at all.
Seeing that Lin Yehuo and Zou Liang had rescued the people, Yao Tingyuan asked the seven villagers to identify whether it was Wu Damao who tricked them into entering the village.
After the seven people carefully identified it, they all said it was somewhat similar, but the man's face was bloody at the time... and they couldn't be sure.
The seven villagers all reported to the prefect that they saw a monster in the mountains. It was a giant...
Both Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang watched Zou Lianglin's night fire.
Huofeng briefly explained what he had just seen.
Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang were also surprised - did you two see it too? Aren't the seven of them talking nonsense?
Lin Yehuo spread his hands helplessly - he had indeed seen it.
Moreover, Zou Liang said that according to his judgment, the giant should be alive and not pretending to be a human being. At least he didn't see any flaws. And even though it was far away, he smelled the smell of a large animal in the mountains.
breath.
Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang both wanted to go into the mountain to have a look. What a coincidence that they had just heard the Demon King talk about giants, and a giant actually appeared. This mountain in Kuaiji is not that big, but there is a universe inside it! It is a mountain god, a zombie, and so on.
It's a giant...amazing!
At least the seven villagers were recovered unharmed, and Yao Tingyuan asked the villagers to take them back first.
But when they were handed back, a ridiculous scene happened.
A group of villagers, led by the village chief, asked the seven people to prove that they were not zombies.
According to the villagers, these seven people stayed in the mountains for so long and came back unscathed. They may have signed a contract with the mountain god and came down the mountain this time to abduct more villagers.
How to prove that they are not zombies? According to legend, zombies have no hearts. But you can’t disembowel these seven to see if they have hearts, right?
In the end, Yao Tingyuan had no choice but to temporarily place these seven unlucky guys in the Yamen together with Wu Damao.
Zhan Zhao and the others were busy until dark and were hungry. They planned to find a restaurant to have a meal before going back.
The four of them went to Sanchuan Restaurant, the largest restaurant in the city.
When the villagers of Jiangjia Village made a fuss, the rumors spread even more.
Zhan Zhao and the others entered the Sanchuan Building and immediately attracted sizing eyes from all around...
At this time, everyone is more sensitive, and they pay more attention to people with special looks. Many people are staring at Lin Yehuo, thinking that he is definitely not from the Central Plains.
Fortunately, many people knew Bai Yutang. The restaurant waiter shouted "Fifth Master" and rushed downstairs to meet him upstairs.
People in the building started talking again.
"Bai Yutang is really back."
"Why did you come back suddenly? Could it be related to the mountain god?"
"The one in blue seems to be Zhan Zhao!"
