Chapter 105: Yinshan Twelve Monsters
In Beim Mountain, in a canyon of several miles in a radius, Zi Chen looked at the corpses all over the ground with a look of ugly expression, and his face looked surprisingly ugly. It has been three days since they entered Beim Mountain Mountain, and they have not encountered any trouble along the way, except for all the things in front of them.
This is a team of more than 300 merchants. From ordinary managers to caravan leaders, including more than 200 guards, all died, including three girls who were only twelve or thirteen years old. Judging from their messy clothes and blood on their thighs, they were obviously violated before their death, and more than one person was violated. Who was so cruel? He would not let these girls go?
Could it be the bandits of Beimang Mountain? But ordinary bandits are just for wealth. As long as the caravan does not resist and pay a certain amount of money to buy a road, they are rarely killed. What's more, this is a caravan with more than 300 people. If you want to kill the entire caravan, how can you do it without two or three times the number? In the Beimang Mountain area, are there still bandits with more than a thousand people?
Zi Chen had sent Chiguxiong to search the nearby mountains and forests. Even Butu Wu, who was recovering from his injuries, was sent out by him, but in the end there was no clue, which made him very helpless.
I had to send people to bury the bodies, and to Chang'an to report the matter, and then continued on the road with my men. However, after walking less than ten miles, I found that more than one hundred people were also killed. Unlike the caravan with more than three hundred people, these more than one hundred people were mountain people living in the Beimang Mountains. There were only more than one hundred people in the entire village, men, women, young and old, all of them were killed. The women and girls also encountered terrible violations before they died.
Zi Chen never thought of being a hero. He longed for those heroes and those heroes who eliminated violence and were good. However, he never thought of being a hero himself. The hero was too tired and he could not afford to be this hero. However, when he saw the mountain village that was like a purgatory on earth, a huge murderous intent emerged in his heart, especially after seeing the scene where a girl who was only seven or eight years old was almost torn apart by someone, he was completely angry.
Angry, he sent Chiguxiong, and there were three hundred warriors of the Chihuo clan who went out together. Zi Chen's order was to find clues to slaughtering this village.
However, when Chiguxiong and others searched all the radius of several miles, they still found no clues. Instead, a team of knights discovered that a village was slaughtered five miles away from the road ahead. Zi Chen quickly led a large group of people to the village. Compared with the previous village, the village had nearly twice the population. However, now it has been slaughtered and no living mouth is left. Judging from the temperature of the corpse, the massacre took not long.
Zi Chen didn't say anything and sent Chiguxiong again. He didn't believe that the bandits in the Beim Mountains were so powerful. After killing many people, he could not leave any clues?
Soon, Zi Chen got the clue, which was obtained by the lives of thirty warriors. Chiguxiong took more than 300 people away and divided them into ten teams of people, each team of thirty people, searching separately, but when he finally returned, one team of people did not return. Chiguxiong sent someone to notify Zi Chen, while personally leading people to rush towards the direction of the team's marching.
Not long after, Chiguxiong found the body of his tribe in front of a stone forest, and Zichen arrived a quarter of an hour later.
Looking at the not-so-large stone forest in front of him and a mountain behind the stone forest, Zi Chen frowned tightly. Chiguxiong had sent people to search and confirmed that the mountain behind the stone forest was a bandit nest. The thieves who killed these warriors of the Red Fire clan escaped to this mountain.
Looking at the not too high mountain forest, Zi Chen frowned even tighter.
If they are ordinary bandits, why would they kill the caravan? After killing the caravan, why would they still slaughter the mountain people here? If all these mountain people die, then who will provide them with food and drink?
Or is this a passing bandit? But how could the passing bandits have so many people? They can kill all the caravans with more than 300 people? Unless...
Unless this is a group of powerful masters!
Thinking of this, Zi Chen suddenly realized something.
"Diewu, can you tell how many people are taking action?" Zi Chen asked Diewu at the thirty corpses on the ground.
"At least eight people!" Diewu had just checked the warriors' corpses and came to this conclusion.
These warriors were not fatal to moves. They were covered with wounds of all sizes, injured by blunt weapons, injured by sword energy, and hit by swords. Even with the experience of the killer Diewu, it was impossible to confirm how many people had taken action, or even to determine the strength of the opponent.
"Can you tell the strength of these people?" If you just try to control people, you can't do it if you want to have thirty-thirty warriors of the Red Fire clan in a short period of time without reaching the strength of a warrior or above.
"No!" Die Wu shook her head very simply. Judging from the wound, except for being occasionally injured by sword energy, most of them are in place. Ordinary martial artists can do this. Of course, those powerful warriors can also do this.
Zi Chen's brows frowned even more. He vaguely felt that this seemed to be a trap, a trap targeting him. But who would have killed nearly 800 people in order to set up a trap? Blood Sword? With his own power, it is impossible to do this? If he really has this ability, he could just enter the team and kill himself?
His intuition told him that he should leave immediately, but when he thought of the mountain people who died tragically, he couldn't swallow this.
"Ah..." Just as Zi Chen was hesitating, a scream suddenly came from the team. Zi Chen's heart trembled slightly. He knew that these were the most elite warriors of the Red Fire Clan. Even if the knife was placed on his neck, he would not frown. He would never scream for no reason. He ran towards the direction of the sound with Chigu Xiong and Die Wu. As soon as he crawled into the woods, he saw the patrol warriors entangled in their bodies by more than ten colorful snakes. One of the small snakes as thick as a little finger had already crawled into his ears, and his face had turned purple and blue.
His eyes were filled with despair and fear.
Not only that, behind him, there were constant sounds of "swish swish swish swish!", and then I saw the dense group of snakes coming out of the woods behind him. Looking at the group of snakes that were piled up together, Zi Chen's face completely changed. How could there be so many snakes?
"Retreat!" Zi Chen immediately issued the order to retreat. So many snakes are not something that humans can resist. Even if there are nearly a thousand people around him, it is absolutely impossible to be the opponent of these little snakes, and there will definitely not be so many snakes here for no reason.
With Zi Chen's order, the team of nearly a thousand people quickly retreated in the direction when they came. The little snakes seemed to have received some order and chased Zi Chen and others at full speed. Not long after Zi Chen and others had just left the woods, a black rabbit appeared at some point on the edge of the woods. With the appearance of this black rabbit, at least more than ten thousand little snakes seemed to feel something terrible, and they actually ran away in horror. How dare they chase Zi Chen and others.
In the direction where Zi Chen and others retreated, there was a hill more than a hundred feet high. At this time, thirteen figures appeared on the hill. Standing in front was the blood sword carrying a black iron sword. Beside him, an old man in his sixties with a white cloth scarf wrapped around his head. The old man's back was a little hunched, looking similar to an old farmer, but even the sword as arrogant as a blood sword, he did not dare to show too much arrogance in front of him.
Behind the old man, there were eleven men and women standing. The oldest was about the same as the old man, an old woman in her fifties and sixties, and the others were in their thirties, including men and women, and a child who looked only eleven or twelve years old.
If people in the world saw this scene, they would definitely take a breath. These twelve people were the twelve monsters in Yinshan that were famous more than ten years ago but suddenly disappeared three years ago.
The first monster is the old man Yin Snake, whose birth is unknown, his age is unknown, and his strength is unknown. It seems that he has never taken action since his debut.
"Senior Yin, I didn't expect that you have this unique skill. You took action yourself. This time, the subordinates around him will suffer heavy casualties!" Seeing the hunched old man in front of him, Xue Jian smiled slightly.
"That's natural. If it weren't for the purpose of driving tens of thousands of snakes, how could I do the task of slaughtering thousands of people and offering sacrifices to the Snake King?" The old man Yin Snake sneered.
"Haha!" Xue Jian smiled faintly, offering sacrifices to the Snake King? Who are you? Does the Snake King need sacrifices? Isn't it the bloodthirsty technique that your wife practices, which requires a lot of human blood? If it weren't for the sake of foolproof, would you think I would do such a boring thing with you? Look at the old woman next to the old man. Xue Jian didn't say much. Even with his cultivation level, he could not see through the cultivation level of the old man Tianshe and the old woman.
I don’t know what the Crown Prince recruited these twelve people at the time.
At this moment, a rumbling sound sounded in front of him. When a dozen people looked up, they saw dust floating in the distance. Blood Sword and others knew that it was Zi Chen and others coming. Blood Sword, Tianshe, and eleven people behind him. The eyes lit up at the same time and killed Zi Chen. This was a great achievement. After the Ying Sect was personally eliminated by His Royal Highness, this was the best opportunity for them to become His Royal Highness's confidants.
As for the matter of His Royal Highness betraying the Shadow Sect, they didn't care at all. It was because the leader of the Shadow Sect was incompetent. If he hadn't been killed on the spot, how could the current emperor have an excuse to attack the Shadow Sect? His Royal Highness was just being forced by His Majesty!
Especially the old man Tianshe became the confidant of His Royal Highness and helped His Royal Highness ascend the throne. This is what he always wanted to do...
