Chapter 117: Opening Counties and Counties
The boat sailed for another five miles, and then, it joined Wenlong and the others.
"Big brother, what about people?"
Wen Long pointed to the opposite bank with a gloomy expression, and on the opposite bank, a small boat was abandoned on the surface of the river, drifting with the current. The fourth pupil shrank and gasped.
In the lower reaches of the river, there will always be such a sudden extra piece of land that divides the river in two, and such a piece of land is called the central beach. And this central beach is more than 40 miles long, and the widest part is as wide as five miles, like a long curved snake. The central beach of this length is also the first in the whole river, but later, more and more people are reluctant to mention it, as if they have forgotten it.
In the past, there were two counties on this central beach, which were located at the two ends of this central beach, and were called Dongtou He County and Xitou Kai County. The two counties are close to each other, but the relationship is very peculiar, and there are often people who gather to fight between the two counties, but they also marry each other.
However, a flood a hundred years ago, the two counties were gone, and they became ghost towns in the old people's mouths, and the people in Ping'an County were very afraid of these two counties. Therefore, in general, no one passes.
Now, the place where Devil May Cry landed is not far from Kaixian. Therefore, the crowd hesitated.
"Otherwise, let's go back. Someone said: "As long as their boat is towed away, they will not be able to go, and there will be time in the future, after all, it is almost dark now." ”
Looking up, the stars had vaguely appeared in the sky, and there was only a little light in the sky, and in less than a quarter of an hour, the sky would be completely dark.
Wen Long's eyes widened: "What are you afraid of, so many of us go together, all the ghosts have been scared away! Besides, let's go back like this, aren't you ashamed?"
There were more than a dozen people in the boat, adding up to more than 70 people, all of whom were carrying weapons, and more than 20 people were wearing armor. Under such circumstances, it is indeed a shame that two outsiders cannot be caught.
Everyone was silent, and the fourth said: "Prepare the torches, let's go over." There are so many of us, and we are not afraid of anything. Also, in recent years, I haven't heard anything happen to anyone over there. ”
No one opened their mouths, and everyone knew why nothing had happened over there. Because even if someone went there, it would only be a walk around the periphery, and they didn't dare to go deeper, and it was still during the day when the weather was fine.
Now, that place is a strange place for them. They just know something vague over there from some old people. And these things, mostly ghost stories, are often used to scare them, and are the shadow of their childhood.
"Let's go!" Wen Long said undoubtedly: "If you don't go with me, you are going against me Wen Long." If you go with me, when you come back, everyone will have five taels of silver, and you will be thanked by Wen. ”
At this time, Wen Long was bleeding profusely. When it comes to this, no one speaks. One man was left to watch the horses, and the rest got into the boats, crossed the river, and reached the opposite bank. By the time they walked into the woods, it was already completely dark.
The woods are not dense, but these trees are quite tall, each one is more than ten feet high, but there are not many leaves. And it's also strange that most of these trees grow in strange shapes, and none of them are straight.
Everyone held torches and looked at the surrounding scene, and their hearts were a little hairy. There are not many leaves on the top of the head, but the leaves on the ground are quite thick, and stepping on them is soft, like walking on a quilt, which makes people feel a little unsteady in their hearts.
Wen Long looked at the dead leaves all over his feet, and regretted it a little in his heart, his brother's death made him angry, and the arrow after arrow made him ashamed. This directly caused him to get carried away and catch up desperately.
But looking at the surrounding environment now, it really made him feel uneasy, and the more time passed, the more intense it became.
At this moment, Mo said that it was him, and now Ghost Cry also felt a sense of unease, and the bell on the knife rang vigorously.
Ghost Cry, Cai Wei, Big Black Horse, Big Mouth, they took their luggage, walked through the woods, and then, they found a dilapidated county town.
For here, because he is a foreigner, he has just arrived here. And the people here are very secretive about this central beach, and others will never take the initiative to talk about it without asking. So Devil May Cry didn't know anything about this place, and he wanted to use it as a hunting ground, but now it seems that this place is a little different from what he imagined.
The county town ahead was surrounded by an open field, sparse trees and weeds, and mud pools. If you look closely, you can also see some bare white bones.
As for the county itself, most of the city walls have collapsed. None of the houses inside were intact, the roads were completely gone, and the ground was nothing but rubble.
A crow stood on a beam stuck in the ground and pointed diagonally to the sky, and croaked twice, echoing through the empty wilderness. Other than that, there is no other sound.
Looking at this sub-scene, the temples of the ghost crying jumped vigorously, and the ringing of the bell also disturbed him, and he sounded a burst of alarms.
"Big Brother Ghost!" Cai Wei's voice trembled a little, and she grabbed the sleeve of Ghost Cry hard: "What should we do?"
The ghost cried and took a breath of cool air, only to feel that the five organs were cold, when he spit out this breath, but it turned into a hazy white mist, staring at the white mist in front of him, the ghost cried and said: "Here, you can't enter, but ......"
The ghost cried and gritted his teeth: "I'm afraid we won't enter, and we won't be able to do it." ”
"What?" Before Cai Wei could react, she was pulled up by the ghost cry.
"Big brother ghost, what's going on. ”
"Cai Wei, wait a minute, don't look back. ”
As soon as the words fell, the sound of horses' hooves sounded behind him, and the big black horse quickly chased after him. Ghost Cry picked up Cai Wei, put her on horseback, and then shouted, "Big mouth!"
The large mouth on the horse's back wrapped around the hilt of the knife, and with a forceful flick, the long knife volleyed into the air. Ghost Cry flew up and grabbed the long knife, and turned around to be a knife.
Bite!
In a long piercing friction sound, the long knife shook violently, the ghost cried and the tiger's mouth was numb, and he was shot down from mid-air, and he stepped on the ground, his feet were slippery, and the mud flew wildly, and he slid backwards for nearly a zhang before stopping.
Oni Cry steadied himself and looked up. The "man" in front of him was nearly eight feet long, with a thin figure, wearing a blackened official robe, holding a rusty saber that looked like scrap iron, and his hair was like withered grass, and under the long messy hair, there was a rotten face.
His eyes widened, his eyelids were high and swollen, and they were very bulging, and his eyes were as white as the eyes of a dead fish. And his face was even more severely rotten, and one side of it even showed the black and yellow teeth inside.
Such a face, such a body, and appearing in such a place again, no matter how you look at it, is not a good thing. Devil Cry judged that this is a corpse demon, and it is also the most typical and common type of corpse demon, zombie.
And behind this zombie, one hand stretched out from the ground, and then another, they waved wildly, and then supported the ground, and crawled out one by one. Wobbly, one zombie after another stood behind him, and it was vaguely clear from the costumes on their bodies that their status before death was an official errand.
If the first zombies to appear are generals, then these zombies are soldiers.
One, two, three......
Counting them down, there are as many as 22. 22 zombie soldiers, plus a general, are invincible.
