Volume 1 The Realm of the Night Chapter 4 The Mutated Ghost Baby of the Old King Next Door(1/2)
...
At this time, in the ravine southeast of Fengqing Village, the paths were muddy and the shade of trees was dense.
"Xu Mu, male, nineteen years old, has no father or mother, is not a superpower, is born with great strength, makes a living by hunting, and is also the night watchman of Fengqing Village."
Yin Shui'er was reading Xu Mu's information as he walked, while Xu Mu, holding a heavy black compass with both hands, staggered behind Yin Shui'er.
"Sir, you have a good memory." Xu Mu replied.
"You didn't miss anything, did you?" Yin Shuier threw away the fruit she was eating, suddenly stopped, and turned to look at Xu Mu suspiciously.
Fengqing Village has complex terrain and is an ancient village. To be precise, ancient refers to a tree.
It towers to the east of the village, with endless lines winding on its straight trunk. The branches are as many as the meridians of the human body. It is thick and huge, blocking out the sky and the sun. No one knows when this tree was planted. Maybe
We have to count three dynasties before the Great Xia Dynasty, or even longer.
The layout of Fengqing Village was modeled after this tree, so the arrangement of the houses was not even, which can be said to be very confusing. Some houses were also built on the hills. If outsiders entered the village, it would be very easy to get lost, so she
She needs to call Xu Mu to help her.
What Xu Mu is holding now is the spirit-seeking compass refined by the Chief of the Demon Slayer Department. Any place with dark energy fluctuations cannot escape its detection.
And now more than half an hour has passed, but the compass has not moved at all?
"Definitely not!" Xu Mu shook his head seriously. Although the terrain was complicated, he would never miss any place. As the village's night watchman, he patrolled at night when he couldn't see his fingers and didn't miss a single house. What's more, it was daytime.
.
"Oh, then keep walking. Can you still lift it?"
Yin Shuier's eyes were cunning. This soul-seeking compass weighed 550 kilograms and was difficult for ordinary people to control. Although Xu Mu's file said "natural power", she didn't think that the latter could be stronger than the people.
.
"As long as you have hands!"
Xu Mu lifted it hard, veins popped up on his forehead, his back was soaked with sweat, and he forced himself to squeeze out these words from his throat.
"Then just hold it and put it down when there is any movement."
Yin Shuier shrugged her shoulders indifferently, since she was not the one who was affected anyway.
"I don't have time to argue with you."
Xu Mu turned his head pretending to be disdainful, but with this turn of his head, he saw something very familiar.
"This is..." Xu Mu suddenly put down the compass, then squatted down to pick up the copper pieces on the ground, his expression gradually becoming solemn.
"The spots are raised, the surface is embroidered with green, and the sound is soft and crisp."
"It's a fragment of bronze!"
Xu Mu was shocked. No one in this damn place knew how to refine bronze. Apart from the exorcism bells issued by the imperial court, he had never seen anything made of bronze.
"It's the material of the exorcism bell, yes. You are more familiar with that thing than I am. It can bear the weight of thousands of kilograms. Now that it's broken like this, things are definitely not simple!"
Xu Mu analyzed it solemnly, very shocked. Even he couldn't break this thing, so who in Fengqing Village knocked the bell into pieces?
"..."
No one answered him. Xu Mu turned around in surprise, only to see that Yin Shuier had picked up the compass and walked to the door of a house.
"The bell was broken here, so the clue is here."
Yin Shui'er shrugged, holding the compass in her left hand, kicking open the ajar wooden door with her right leg, and walked into the yard.
"Oh, be careful!"
Xu Mu's eyes widened. If something happened to the superpowers of the Demon Slayer, he, an ordinary night watchman, couldn't bear it. This would be equivalent to implicating nine clans!
"Hoes, granaries, firewood piles, some neatly chopped wood, and a very clean yard."
Yin Shuier observed and said, Xu Mu quickly followed in, his expression still solemn:
"This is where the problem lies."
"I remember the owner here is a widow, surnamed Sun. How could she split such neat wood?"
Yin Shuier nodded softly and was about to speak when a female voice suddenly came from the room:
"Who's coming?"
Xu Mu was shocked when he heard this. Why did this sound sound like a dying old lady? Widow Sun was only in her twenties!
"Answer her." Yin Shui'er raised her eyebrows and walked straight towards the direction where the voice came from. "Hurry up, make up an identity and answer her!" Yin Shui'er said angrily when Xu Mu didn't speak.
Xu Mu stuttered: "I...I am Lao Wang next door!"
"Next door, Brother Wang, are you...Brother Wang next door?"
The voices in the room were still old and intermittent, as if they were extremely confused.
While it was talking, Yin Shuier had already walked to the middle of the yard.
"Brother Wang, aren't you in my arms?"
…
The people in the room finally finished speaking. Xu Mu stood there with a blank look on his face. He just said a name casually, and it happened to be Widow Sun's old friend?
Um?
Suddenly, Yin Shui'er stopped suspiciously and stared at the window of the house with phoenix eyes.
Through the curtain, a strange shadow was crawling there.
Xu Mu came to his senses and then swallowed a mouthful of saliva.
He also saw it, and didn't know what it was, but he could vaguely see that the thing had long hair, and his hands seemed to be holding something that looked like a human being. The tongue in its mouth was dancing in the air like a snake tongue, and the tip was still
A human head hangs.
"Don't act like you've never seen the world."
Yin Shui'er had a casual expression and taunted slightly. She had killed not one thousand but two hundred White Walkers. Even though this White Walker seemed to have some background, it did not cause any psychological fluctuations in her.
Xu Mu ignored the other party's sarcasm, his nerves were so tense that he never moved his eyes away from the window for a moment.
He is different from Yin Shui'er. He is just an ordinary person. The lantern and the copper bell are not around yet. Faced with an existence that can easily destroy the exorcism copper bell, he must be very alert.
"careful!"
Suddenly, the monster in the room suddenly turned around, broke through the wooden door with a "click" with its long tongue, and quickly came towards Yin Shuier.
Almost at the same time that Xu Mu made a sound, Yin Shuier's palms were spread forward, and a dark blue stream of water swam back and forth between the palms, like a small snake wandering in a pond.
"go!"
Yin Shuier pushed her palm forward, and countless water elemental energy was swallowed by the little snake. Its size increased countless times. The giant python moved forward, and the water snake's fangs pierced the white ghost's long tongue, and the two collided.
"Snapped!"
With a crisp sound, the long tongue was torn into countless pieces by the water snake like an egg hitting a stone. The pieces of meat fell to the ground. Xu Mu's eyes widened and he was a little shocked.
"Where is the water? This is clearly pig iron!"
"Ah!", the monster in the room quickly retracted its tongue and screamed in pain.
Yin Shui'er then snorted coldly, and without giving the other party time to breathe, her gestures suddenly changed, and the water flow suddenly turned into a giant hand, breaking through the wall with a crash.
"come over!"
The white ghost's body was firmly grasped with his palms. The latter had no ability to resist and was directly thrown into the air by the giant hand made of water elements. Then, following Yin Shui'er's movements, it hit the ground heavily.
"Boom!"
There was a loud noise, and green blood spattered from the White Walker's body. Her body was twisted and severely injured, but she was still not dead.
Yin Shui'er narrowed her eyes slightly, put her index fingers together, clasped the knuckles of her little thumbs lightly, and shouted softly:
"Waterfall!"
The water element changed its form again, and the big hands turned into waterfalls. A steady stream of water elements poured from the palms into the air and poured down.
It was like the water of a waterfall, accelerating and colliding with the granite, with a sound as loud as thunder, and as heavy as a giant stone, and a huge crater was directly smashed into the ground.
"So cruel!"
Xu Mu hid aside, watching with horror.
This is the strength of superpowers. No wonder Yin Shui'er is not afraid at all even though she knows about Tong Ling!
"An attack of this level cannot bear the weight of the body at all, nor can the mutated bones of the White Walkers!"
Xu Mu yearned for it. This was the power of the alien. He could mobilize the elements of heaven and earth at will without resorting to magic weapons. If he wanted to simulate such an attack, he would have to carry the big red lantern and recite the incantation.
"This is the first time I've seen a White Walker look like this."
Xu Mu was silent for a moment, then leaned forward and carefully observed the bloated monster at the bottom of the pit.
Although it was not dead, it no longer had any ability to move. Only its face was ferocious, but some of its original appearance could still be seen. Xu Mu confirmed that it was Widow Sun.
However, after she was infected, her belly became bigger than a water tank, and something was squirming inside it repeatedly. Her tongue, which was more than ten meters long, was shattered by the impact of the water flow, and green liquid flowed down, which seemed to be...
