Chapter 421 Something's Not Right
The situation of the task is similar to what the master said.
The people in this isolated mountain village were cursed inexplicably, some had horns on their heads and some had tails behind them. No one knew how many secrets they had. In short... the original good people looked like monsters.
And most of them are very short-lived and die in their thirties, and there is almost no elderly person in the village.
"According to people in the village, this situation has lasted for two or three hundred years. Back then, they were just trying to avoid war and disaster. At the beginning, they were all peaceful. Until one year, they dug a canal to divert water and accidentally dug a cave. Black gas came out. The villagers were swallowed up on the spot. It is said that they died very miserable."
"Although the villagers immediately blocked the cave, since then, the strange disease began... and it is said that at the beginning, the children were all sick, and they did not live to their thirties or even more, just like they are now."
"The people in the village had no choice but to invite experts everywhere to do it, but after a few of the experts died and became crazy, no one dared to come again."
"Until later, a monk traveled here, entered the cave and investigated it carefully. After coming out, he told the villagers that the corpse of a demon general was buried underground. The demon general was unwilling to die suddenly and set a curse. Anyone who disturbed its remains would have their sons and grandsons and died tragically."
"The monk himself was also cursed and his life was not long before he died. Before he died, he sat in a golden body, asked the villagers to build a pagoda at the highest point of the village, worshiped the golden body, recited scriptures and worshipped every day, filled with oil and burned incense every night, and suppressed the curse of the demon general with the power of Buddhism. This made the lifespan of the villagers extend to more than thirty, and they can marry and have children, and reproduce from generation to generation. However, the power of the curse cannot be completely eliminated, until now..."
"The key to the matter should be on the corpse of the demon general. Tomorrow morning, the people in Longhu Mountain will summon villagers to dig out the crypt of that year. Go in and look for the corpse of the demon general and destroy it."
Listening to Park Rou telling the story, Xiao Ling was silent for a few seconds and patted her head with the wordless book: "After so many years, none of the villagers want to run away? The whole village moves away together."
"How is it possible? Of course some people have thought about it." Park Rou frowned, "If you don't run, you can still live to your thirties, because Demonic death. If you run, you often fall into the abyss halfway, or be killed by rocks, or be bitten to death by wild animals... Demonic is just a manifestation of curse. If you die, there are many ways to kill people."
"It is true that there are many ways to kill people." Xiao Ling nodded in agreement.
Park Rou looked at Xiao Ling at the right moment: "What do you mean?" Although Xiao Ling agreed with her words, she didn't know what was going on. She always felt that his tone was strange and was talking about something completely different.
Xiao Ling raised the wordless heavenly book: "Ask you a question. I think when the black air was just leaked, the people in the village could still invite masters to cast spells. In other words, they could still go out at that time, but later the curse was suppressed by Buddhism. Why couldn't it work?"
Park Rou was stunned and scratched her head: "This, maybe the power of the curse was not fully opened at that time?"
Maybe, Xiao Ling breathed: "The second question, have you asked, how do people in this village solve the problem of getting married and having children?"
"How to solve the problem of marrying a wife and having children?" Park Rou blinked, a little confused.
Xiao Ling had to further explain: "Such a village where no matter whether you marry into a house or go back, you can only live to the age of your thirties. If it were you, would you come?"
"No outsiders marry into it. As you said just now, they marry and have children, and they have reproduced from generation to generation. They have been like this for two or three hundred years. Now... how many people are there?"
"More than 800." Park Rou answered without hesitation. She had really asked this question.
Xiao Ling whistled: "More than 800 people, there are quite a few. These more than 800 people, without the replenishment of foreign population, rely on them to reproduce and survive... The so-called monster disease is not caused by their close relatives from generation to generation, right?"
Park Rou opened her mouth wide and was stunned for a while: "You have too much imagination, right? Do you think the master here knows such a high-tech theory?"
"Isn't it very high-tech, it's easy to get problems when getting married in close relatives, and many animals know it."
"What's the problem here? What did you see?" Park Rou asked.
Xiao Ling smacked his lips: "There are too few clues and I can't judge, I just think something is weird..." The reason why it is impossible to judge is that there is something wrong with the master's knowledge here, so that you must fully consider this when reasoning. If you can't learn the questions of elementary school students, you can't move closer to middle school or university content, which is causing trouble.
"And that's all? Don't you think there's something missing?"
Park Rou curled her lips until the following sentence, Mu Ran was stunned: "What's missing?"
"Take a warning."
The challenge is that the difficulty of entering each round of the game is considered to be the beginning, and if you fail, it is considered a lazy battle. After being beaten back home, you have to deduct destiny day and night.
What is not destined in this world is to enter a period of suffering from the rise of the inner demons and the trough of cultivation, which is exactly the opposite of being tempered by the energy of the immortal spirit.
"No, we are not..." Park Rou was stunned. After asking back, Mu Ran woke up: There is really no, some are internal strife with Zhang Boye and his group... That is not the setting of the game, they made it themselves.
"Ao!" Just as he was stunned, he suddenly roared, shaking the cave, shaking Xiao Ling and Pu Rou were dizzy, and the flames of the fire trembled like a storm.
I don’t know what monster it was, but I surrounded it from the outside of the cave. Although I couldn’t see them, I could already hear their roars and footsteps, and smell the stench coming from the wind in the air.
It seems that the test of dominance has begun!
"Let's go!" Xiao Ling jumped up and instantly changed into an orangutan form. With a slap in his hand, the repaired wordless heavenly book was pasted on the upper part of his left arm, like a shield. At the same time, the agave tongue bow was raised and three phoenix feather arrows were held in his hand.
Pu Rou's movements were not slower than Xiao Ling. The hypocritical mirror appeared in the void and hung high on her forehead. The mirror shook without wind, and emitted strong light to pierce the darkness, revealing the side she faced.
She naturally held the Tianji Umbrella in her hand, and opened the umbrella surface to become a defensive posture.
"Inward or outward?" she asked Xiao Ling.
"Of course, we are besieged. Zhang Boye's group of people must have been attacked, and it is the opportunity!" Xiao Ling said decisively, holding a bow in his hand and running towards the direction of the hole with Park Rou.
After walking two steps, he calmed down: "This cave can also kill monsters. Will it be connected to the cave that is emitting black gas?"
"This..." Park Rou didn't know.
As he spoke, the first bend was turned, and the hypocritical mirror pierced the front, reflecting the monsters with a big face and big mouth that looked like geckos, like a lizard, the size of a dog, with a toad-like skin, and an ugly monster.
"Howl!" The eyes narrowed into a line by the strong light, and with a roar, several monsters rushed out of the corner at the same time. Although their bodies were short and fat, they seemed to be able to ignore gravity and ran towards the wall at all angles, at a very fast speed!
"Teng!" I heard an arrow.
Age-tongue bow! Phoenix feather arrow! The power of rebirth! Inertia! Acceleration! Reaction! Leverage! Hook! Friction! Gravity!…
In an instant, many unimaginable spiritual lights gathered on Xiao Ling's body, and finally condensed on the three gorgeous long arrows that were burning like flames on the long bow that was wrapped around the head and tail.
Xiao Ling's dragon tongue bow is flat, with four fingers and three arrows clamped, and the virtual sharp arrow ballistic is flat. Since there are weapons like the dragon tongue bow and phoenix feather arrow, Xiao Ling certainly practices archery a lot during this period.
The super-strong neural reflex speed and accuracy, coupled with the blessing of the title page of truth, also made his shooting skills progress leaps and bounds.
The turbulence of the bow string was like a dragon's roar, and the sharp arrows breaking through the air were as crisp as a phoenix. Two loud noises were heard one after another in Pu Rou's ears, which made her ears buzz.
"Swoosh!" The long arrow, which was so fast that it was beyond imagination, instantly hit three monsters, pushed the two out and nailed them to the wall.
There was another arrow that penetrated the head of a monster, making it blurry, just as if Xiao Ling's head was drilled through by a flying sword yesterday. After drilling through, it continued to remain strong, and then shot a monster behind it, and also shot it backwards, and nailed it into the wall with a "snatch" sound.
"Aoao..." The monster tried to struggle at the top of his lungs, but the Fengling arrow was too deep and it could not break free.
One arrow four demons!
Xiao Ling quickly picked up the bow and shot the arrow, preparing for the second round of shooting.
However, at this time, the remaining three monsters had already pounced in front of him, grinning, and "awoo" pounced down fiercely at Park Rou.
"Bang!" There was a muffled sound, and the three monsters bounced off the surface of Park Rou's Qianji umbrella.
In terms of pure defense, Tianji Umbrella may not be as good as those big shields, but its biggest advantage is its elasticity.
The Qianji Umbrella suddenly opened, and the three monsters did not pounce on Park Rou, and were intercepted in a daze. The huge impact force was not directly transmitted to Park Rou, but was shocked by Tianji Umbrella, two shocks, three shocks... with the violent vibration of the umbrella surface, it was completely digested.
"Up!" A dragon roar, "chir!" A phoenix whistle, Xiao Ling's second round of arrows also took the opportunity to shoot out.
"Snatch! Snatch! Snatch!" In an instant, the remaining three monsters were also nailed.
Xiao Ling and Pu Rou both breathed a sigh of relief. This round of monsters is the type with a large number of people and relatively fast speeds, but weak offense and defense...
Of course, weakness is just relative. Compared with their strength in this round, it would be hard to say if they compare with their strength in the last round.
In the blink of an eye, the seven monsters were dealt with, and Xiao Ling and Park Rou strided out of the cave.
"Tsk, it's a pity that these monsters are too small." Park Rou couldn't help but sigh.
Just as I turned the corner, a gust of wind came towards me.
