All the young men and women in Wangjia Village were mobilized. Hundreds of people surrounded the place, and the light of dozens of torches illuminated the entire barnyard as bright as day.
But after seeing the situation in the middle of the barn, the scene became strangely quiet. What they caught was not the beast they imagined, but a "man" with tattered clothes.
This "person" has blue and black skin all over his body, his hair is disheveled covering half of his face, and the nails on his hands are nearly half a foot long.
The black shadow ignored the animal trap on his leg, but directly reached out and grabbed the chicken coop in front of him, grabbed the rooster and stuffed it into his mouth, and ate it in front of everyone.
Tick-tick~tick-tick~
The blood of the rooster dripped down the corners of the black shadow's mouth and fell to the ground, making the villagers present feel terrified.
Standing in front of the crowd, Wang Dagui looked at the extremely familiar figure in front of him, and a huge wave surged in his heart. The strange man in front of him was his old father who had been dead for a long time!
The shroud on the other party's body was put on by myself.
Wang Dagui held up the torch and couldn't help but shouted tentatively:
"Dad, is this you, dad? I am Dagui, your son Wang Dagui."
Wang Dagui's words were like dropping a drop of cold water into a hot oil pan, and the barn instantly became noisy.
"What? That weirdo is actually Uncle Youming who has been dead for more than half a month?"
"Don't tell me, the profile of the face is really similar. I remember Uncle Ming had a big mole on the left side of his face."
"Then whether Uncle Ming is alive or dead now, why do I feel something is wrong?"
…
The villagers were busy discussing, and the atmosphere became increasingly tense.
Suddenly, one of the strong women shouted loudly:
"Everyone, look at Uncle Ming's legs. His legs have been caught in a trap, but there is not a drop of blood! He is no longer a human, he is a monster!"
monster!
When the villagers heard this, their expressions seemed to change drastically. They all raised their weapons and began to retreat involuntarily.
There are also many ghosts and legends in the countryside, but these strange stories all have a common characteristic, that is, they are all accompanied by the loss of innocent people.
Right now, no one wants to be the "lucky guy" in the strange stories.
Muramasa, who was in the center of the team, saw everyone retreating and couldn't help shouting anxiously:
"Don't be afraid, there are so many of us, we can drown it with just a drop of saliva. Besides, if this monster is really that strong, would it go into the village and just steal poultry?"
Yes, if this monster is really powerful, why doesn't it eat people directly instead of eating chickens and ducks?
Muramasa's words successfully calmed the panicked villagers.
The encirclement was restored again, with young and strong men holding weapons in front, and women holding torches following behind. Everyone walked nervously towards Wang Youming.
However, Wang Youming remained indifferent to the actions of the villagers and continued to eat the rooster in his own way.
"Dad, Dad, please say something!"
Seeing the villagers pressing closer and closer, Wang Dagui looked extremely anxious, although his reason told him that the man in front of him was probably not his father anymore.
But how could decades of emotions be let go so quickly? All in all, he still had a trace of fantasy in his heart.
Seeing that Wang Dagui was so stubborn, Wang Erdong, the hair boy next to him, grabbed his shoulders and shook him, shouting loudly:
"Dagui, please wake up. Your father is dead. That is just a monster that took over your father's body. Do you think your father will not be able to rest in peace after his death?"
Wang Erdong's words made Wang Dagui, who was a little confused, gradually come to his senses.
Yes, my father is dead, and I still keep his spirit for seven days. People cannot be resurrected after death, so what is that person in the middle of the threshing floor?
However, at this moment, Wang Youming, who had been eating the rooster, paused and suddenly raised his hand. A bloody chicken bone instantly penetrated Wang Erdong's thigh and was nailed to the mud floor of the barn.
"ah!"
The blood stained his trouser legs red. Wang Erdong let out a piercing scream and fell to the ground in pain.
This sudden scene made everyone present stop again. Some people were really confused and didn't know what happened.
Wang Youming dropped the rooster skeleton in his hand, raised his head, revealed his scarlet eyes and said slowly:
"You are right, I am a monster, a monster that can only stay awake for a short time after eating fresh blood and flesh. Since you want me to die, then you don't want to live anymore.
I have endured it for so long, and I have long wanted to taste human flesh. The irresistible aroma has troubled me for too long."
As soon as he finished speaking, Wang Youming stomped his foot to knock down the animal trap, his body turned into a black afterimage, and he rushed towards a young man of eighteen or nineteen years old not far away.
His speed was so fast that the young man had no time to dodge and could only watch as Wang Youming's claws stretched towards his chest.
At this critical moment, several vines grew out of thin air under Wang Youming's feet, and instantly entangled him like a rice dumpling. The vines shrank tightly, interrupting Wang Youming's offensive.
"What are you still doing? Run away!"
An old voice sounded in the young man's ears, and the inexplicable majesty shook away the fear in his heart.
"Oh oh."
The young man woke up from a dream, dropped the hoe in his hand and ran away. Although he didn't know who the strange old man's voice was, there was no time to care about it at the moment. Everything was not as important as saving his life.
The young man's escape seemed to have triggered a chain reaction. All the villagers who had previously relied on the strength of their numbers to beat the monster to death with sticks dropped their belongings and turned into birds and beasts.
At this moment, they wished that their parents would give them two more legs.
The vines spawned by the land were just ordinary vines and could not trap Wang Youming for long. In less than two breaths, Wang Youming had completely broken free from the vines on his body.
But before he could make any move, a cold sword light descended from the sky and struck him hard on the head.
Wang Youming raised his claws to parry hastily, and took more than ten steps back before barely stopping himself.
The person who came was none other than Miss Chai, who had been waiting in the crowd for a long time. Chai Jiangcui also thought about informing Muramasa about Wang Youming and asking him to stop the hunt.
But she, Chai Jiangcui, was just an outsider who had just arrived for a day, and Muramasa would most likely not listen. The head arrester and Muramasa were not part of the same system at all, and she couldn't give any orders.
To say the least, even if Muramasa listened, some good-hearted young people in the village might sneak over to watch the show. People always show strong curiosity about unknown things.
Before seeing the terror of Wang Youming, nothing can be said to dissuade him. Rather than being disrupted by these sneaky people, it is better to let them see the power of the monster first, so that they can escape from the beginning, and they can also
Don't worry about rescuing people.
Chai Jiangcui forced Wang Youming back with one strike of his sword. Instead of staying where he was, he used his spiritual power to directly attack him.
It is not possible to deal with evil spirits in a gentleman's way. Killing him while he is sick is the last resort.
