Erlong Village!
The figure of Ji Ye, once the three leaders and now in the village master's room, changed from virtual to real.
Although I have logged in several times, it still feels a bit magical, and the world has changed in just a moment.
"The village master! The village master is back."
But when he opened the door and walked out, several voices suddenly sounded.
There were actually several villagers from Erlong Village waiting outside the door, including Old Man Hu.
"what happened?"
Ji Ye had some doubts.
"Oh no!"
"Master of the village, the two dogs were kidnapped by an evil ghost!"
Old Man Hu's face was full of anxiety, and even a little frightened.
"What, evil spirit?"
Ji Ye's face was stunned.
No way, just before entering the Land of Heritage, he had read some information about Renjia Village on the forum, and now after going online, he encountered a ghost in Erlong Village
This thing is not something that ordinary people can deal with.
No wonder these villagers looked so panicked and even more frightened.
"Where's Leader Lu?"
Ji Ye glanced over, but did not see Lu Zhishen's figure, and looked at Old Man Hu and said.
"Leader Lu has already led his men to catch up."
"In which direction did you go? How long ago."
"That way! About a quarter of an hour."
Old Man Hu pointed in the direction of going down the mountain.
"I'm going to get the weapons!"
Ji Ye returned to the house, scanned a few items inside, and pondered for a while.
Then, instead of choosing the barbarian heavy crossbow that he was most accustomed to, he picked up the third-level "Black Snake Sword" and black revolver that Black Snake revealed yesterday.
"You arrange for people to guard the stronghold, and I will go to meet Leader Lu!"
Ji Ye told Old Man Hu an explanation and followed the location he pointed with two weapons.
After walking out of the cottage, Ji Ye followed the traces on the road while recalling in his mind the information about the stronghold that he had collected from the forum this time.
According to the information gathered by some players, within a radius of about one mile around the core of each stronghold, the types of monsters are generally related to the stronghold itself.
For example, many magical creatures appear around Western magic bases, and some technological bases even have life forms with metal structures appearing around them.
There is no doubt that the monsters around the Erlong Mountain stronghold most likely belong to the category of "history" plus "myth".
Because although "Water Margin" is a novel, many of its characters have historical prototypes, and the background is set in a real ancient dynasty.
But it is very different from real history, because it contains many settings of "gods, immortals, demons, and demons".
For example, the 108 generals of Liangshan are actually the reincarnations of the "devil kings" who were suppressed by the Taoist ancestral court of Longhu Mountain, and both Liangshan, Tian Hu, and Fang La's subordinates all have some capable people who know magic.
Flying swords, summoning gods, setting up formations, and even calling the wind and rain, soaring into the clouds and mists, all of these methods have appeared in Water Margin. For example, Wu Song's arm was cut off by a Taoist priest who knew magic under Fang La with a flying sword.
A black snake with the blood of a dragon had already appeared on the top of the mountain before. It is really not surprising that other monsters and ghosts appeared!
"But why did we meet so early!"
Ji Ye looked a little embarrassed.
Erlong Mountain is a stronghold in the Water Margin. In theory, not only the leaders of the original village, but also the other Water Margin characters, especially the people from Liangshan, can actually be recruited.
By then, not to mention Gongsun Sheng, the "Cloud Dragon" from the Thirty-Six Tiangang, who has the most powerful magic among the major forces, and Fan Rui, the "Hyunshi Demon King" from the Seventy-two Earthly Fiends, who is a little worse, should not be afraid of ordinary ghosts. Got it!
However, now there is an "evil ghost" appearing... I wonder if Lu Zhishen can deal with it
"Well, there is movement ahead!"
Ji Ye's eyesight is extraordinary, and his complete professional knowledge of wilderness survival also allows him to quickly track according to the traces left in the jungle.
After chasing for about seven or eight minutes, Ji Ye was keenly aware of a creature moving in the jungle ahead.
"The village master is the village master!"
They are not evil spirits, but a few villagers in the village.
One of the people he had met at yesterday's reception banquet had some memories.
"Master of the village, Ergou... was killed by an evil spirit."
Several villagers were working together to carry a person, more accurately, it should be a corpse.
The neck was broken by some kind of creature, and there were five purple "fingerprints" on it that were much larger than ordinary people. And on the skull, the hardest part of the body, there were five dark black blood that had not dried up, as if it had been broken by a sharp weapon. Open hole.
Even though he died, the villager known as "Two Dogs" still had a purple color of extreme fear on his face!
"Is it really an evil spirit?"
Ji Ye felt a little heavy.
This is the first time to see human death in the Land of Heritage.
It feels completely different from seeing the corpses of purple jade mantises, bronze bulls, and golden eagles.
After all, this is a human being, not that different from the player.
Even because Ergou was a small leader of the village, he went to him to toast him last night.
Now, he is dead.
Although Ji Ye still didn't have much fear in his heart, it was inevitable that he would feel a little nervous.
What kind of monster is this? Is it really an evil ghost
"Leader Lu is chasing us, let us carry Ergou's body back!"
Several villagers said, although their faces were a little pale, their tone was still calm.
After all, Erlong Village is actually a bandit den. It is estimated that many of the people inside have seen blood, otherwise they would not have dared to go to the top of the mountain to kill the black snake.
This is a good thing. If you are a person from a modern city, you may feel weak in the legs and speechless when you see this scene!
"You guys carry them back, and I'll go help Leader Lu!"
Ji Ye nodded to a few people, and then continued to get up and follow them.
"just in front!"
Not a minute later, he heard the sound of fighting.
When Ji Ye ran a few more steps and reached the top of a hillside, he immediately saw the "evil ghost" fighting with Lu Zhishen!
It was a humanoid creature that was more than two meters tall, even taller than Lu Zhishen, who was already very tall. Its whole body was covered with thick black hair, its red face was exposed between the hair, and it had a mouth as big as a basin. , with four half-foot-long fangs.
And a pair of arms, also covered with thick black hair, are long enough to stretch one's knees, and the front end of the arms is quite different from that of a human. The palms are as big as dustpans, and have black nails that are half a foot long!
An arm in this form is undoubtedly an extremely terrifying natural weapon for close combat. Its length advantage is definitely enough to dig out a person's heart before they hit it!
However, Lu Zhishen obviously had no intention of fighting with this "evil ghost". Instead, he held a steel knife brought from the village in his hand, which made up for the disadvantage in attack distance.
Buzz!
In the jungle, a steel knife was swung in the air, bringing out a flash of silver light and slashing towards the neck of the "evil ghost"!
"Roar!"
However, although the "evil ghost" did not have a weapon in his hands.
However, a pair of claws that were long enough to match the height of an ordinary person were shrouded in a hazy yellow light. They swung out their claws without fear and collided with the steel knife cut by Lu Zhishen!
"Qiang!"
A sound like the impact of a stone shook Ji Ye's eardrums, accompanied by a stream of sparks flying.
The steel knife wielded by Lu Zhishen, who was born with supernatural power and had activated "Hunyuan Jin", did not gain the upper hand during the impact, and was even directly bounced back by the claws of the "evil ghost" shrouded in yellow light.
"Extraordinary power!"
Ji Ye's eyes flashed.
Obviously, this "evil ghost" is not a mortal-level creature, but a mortal-level creature!
