Views:

Su Ziyu's weapons were taken away long ago.

So he could only hold the hardwood sword used for training. It was a mess outside. Many people were holding swords. He also heard the sound of crossbows being fired from the sentry tower. The light of the torch could not shine too far. He could only vaguely see a black shadow rushing out of the trap set during the day, and there seemed to be a motionless person lying on the ground next to him. The black shadow was not very big, but it was quite fast. There were some arrows stuck in its body, but it did not seem to affect its movements. It rushed out and the crowd surrounded it, and soon there were several screams. .

"What the hell?" Su Ziyu clenched the wooden sword nervously.

The black shadow seemed to be a humanoid creature, about one and a half meters tall, with a hunched body on all fours. It was moving very fast. It could reach 100 meters in three or four seconds. It was difficult to see clearly under the cover of the night. It seemed to be a little afraid of fire, so it was driven by the crowd and ran towards the dark place of Suziyu. Suziyu was about to retreat without even thinking. Who knows what this monster is, it is too fast. , looking very dangerous, he followed his heart and prepared to run away.

but.

What Su Ziyu never expected was that in this dark environment, some bastard suddenly pushed him from behind, and then he was exposed on the monster's escape route.

Bah!

What bastard plotted against him? !

Everything happened so fast. Su Ziyu didn't have time to look for the person who pushed him from behind. The hideous and ugly monster was about to pounce in front of him. It looked like a one-eyed ghost-faced ape with turbid yellow pupils. It is brown, with a circle of dark red blood vessels in the one eye on its forehead. It exudes a fishy and disgusting smell. The black claws seem to be quite sharp. The agility of this monster is quite terrifying. The moment it swoops over, it is He swung his black claws and attacked Su Ziyu's face. If he was caught this time, his whole face would probably be scratched to pieces. The person who was attacked in front was almost disembowelled by the monster's claws.

Can't escape!

Su Ziyu realized this in an instant because the monster was too fast.

However, at this moment, the passage of time seemed to slow down. The people around him almost became still, and the monster also became slow motion frame by frame. Su Ziyu swung his wooden sword upwards. He fought with all his strength, and then threw himself to the right.

呲呲.

The monster was lifted a little and flew directly over his head. The monster's sharp claws quickly climbed along the wall to the roof, and then jumped into the darkness and disappeared without a trace. The people holding torches rushed over at this time. Su Ziyu leaned against the wall and panted with a lingering fear on his face. He glanced at the crowd with a gloomy face, and soon his eyes fell on the man named Lot.

He suspected that the person who just pushed him was this bastard!

But it was a pity that the other party's acting skills were good. Before Su Ziyu could confirm whether it was him or not, he led his men to chase the monster. There were some dark red blood stains on the ground, which should have been left by the monster. Its back was hit several times by a crossbow, and it must have been seriously injured. Now the whole village was in chaos. Su Ziyu saw Linna who was helping Ken over not far away. The monster was moving too fast, and Ken seemed to be a little injured. There is a corpse of a villager further away. The chest is already bloody and bloody, as if it has been dug open by something, and disgusting scarlet internal organs are scattered all over the ground.

Ken's eyes fell on Su Ziyu. He just happened to see Su Ziyu escape the attack of the Ghost Faced Monkey. What happened at that moment was too fast. He didn't understand why Su Ziyu was able to escape. It was open, but I could feel that the stranger burst out at an alarming speed at that moment. Maybe in Su Ziyu's eyes, everything around him seemed to be slowing down at that moment, but in fact, it wasn't like that in the eyes of others, it was just that he was getting faster at that moment.

"Go on." Ken hesitated and threw the black short blade at his waist.

Although Su Ziyu didn't understand what he said, he still reached out and took the black short blade. It was the weapon of the snake-man leader and was later taken away by Ken. If he had held this black short blade instead of a wooden sword in his hand just now, he might have disemboweled the ape monster with a ferocious face in one blow.

There is something strange about this foreigner.

But the most important thing now is to eliminate the Ghost-faced Monkey. This monster is quite ferocious. If you don't kill it, it will come back soon to take revenge wildly.

"Take him with you."

"We must kill that monster. Otherwise, everyone will not be safe. It was shot by Pork and can't run too far." Ken said to Linna next to him, and then he gathered some people and asked them to follow. Lina acts together.

Although Su Ziyu couldn't understand what they said, he guessed a little of what they meant.

They want to kill the monster.

Ken returned the weapon to him and asked him to help.

Su Ziyu didn't like to owe others favors. In any case, Lina saved his life, so he picked up his weapon and followed without much hesitation. Although the monster looks scary, Su Ziyu has changed a lot during this time. In the past, seeing this kind of monster would probably frighten him half to death, but now he would be frightened at most.

He has really become bolder.

In one sentence - "Don't take life or death lightly, if you don't accept it then do it."

Linna took out a black short bow from the house, then inserted two daggers into her waist, holding a sharp short sword in her hand. More than a dozen hunters with weapons followed her, lighting He took the torch with the hunting dog and chased him along the blood trail. Su Ziyu also followed the team. Almost no one spoke along the way. Outside the village, he saw Lot and three people waiting for them. This guy didn't seem to lead anyone to catch up. There were bloodstains scattered along the way. More than twenty people were sent out from the village and chased directly into the forest following the bloodstains.

The monster was also seriously injured, and traces of its escape could be seen along the way.

However, it was not convenient for so many people to move in the forest. After chasing for an hour or two, all the torches were extinguished, and they could only rely on a few hunting dogs to lead the way. Fortunately, when they chased near a mountain, they finally saw it. The figure of that monster.

It dragged mottled blood into a cave.

Before Su Ziyu could speak, the young man named Lott took the lead and followed in. The others rekindled two torches with flints and followed in swarm.

"Are you all so reckless?"

"Aren't you afraid there are monsters inside?"

Su Ziyu followed Linna into the cave. The inside looked very dark and damp, with a rotten smell. The cave became wider and wider as they went inside. When Su Ziyu and Linna caught up with the people in front, they happened to see Lot pull out the long sword from the chest of the ghost-faced monkey. He glanced at Su Zi with a hint of provocation. Fish, and then cut off the ghost-faced monkey's head with a swing of his sword.

What's so arrogant about having a sword? Or are you trying to intimidate me? Su Ziyu narrowed his eyes slightly.

"Finally, we killed this monster!" A one-eyed man said solemnly towards Lina.

Although Su Ziyu didn't understand what they said, he breathed a sigh of relief.

He looked around by the light of the torch and seemed to see something in the corner. He couldn't help but feel numb and reached out to pat Lina next to him. He pointed in that direction and said, "What the hell is that!"

Lina couldn't understand what he said, but she subconsciously lit the torch.

There was a gasping sound.

In the right corner of the cave, there are many human bones piled up, as well as some scattered fur goods. The most eye-catching thing is a simple altar made of stones, with several ferocious heads placed on it, and Some solidified black internal organs, and in the center is a strange one-eyed evil god statue with three ferocious faces on its head. It looks like some kind of ape, and the one eye in the center of the forehead seems to be alive. It doesn't look like it was carved out of stone, but like it was an eyeball dug out of some creature.

"It's people from the caravan. They were all killed by this monster." Someone said with a solemn expression.

There was a chaotic sound of voices all around.

But Su Ziyu couldn't help but froze in place. The more he looked at the evil god statue, the more he felt his scalp numb and even had a little heart palpitations. To use a metaphor, the SAN value was constantly falling. But he had an urge to touch it, and the golden hourglass in his consciousness seemed to have changed, guiding him to look for something on that weird statue. In the eyes of others, his face was slightly blue at the moment, probably because he was petrified by the horrific scene in front of him. Linna also reached out to hold his palm, and then when Su Ziyu came back to his senses, she discovered that these aborigines They were really brave, they were moving the furs out of the corpses.

Are these people really ordinary Orion villagers

Or are people in this era just so tough? Seeing so many corpses didn't even change his expression

Su Ziyu even saw the one-eyed man kicking the half-rotten head to the side, and then reaching out to take out a money bag from the smelly, rotting, blood-stained clothes. His expression was actually a little happy.
