Chapter 29: Unity
The two of them held their breath at the same time, because a thick and long black shadow meandered through them. Its body was covered with the smell of dead people, and even the salty sea water could not be removed. Its rough abdomen rubbed against the gravel on the shore, making a "click" sound, and its wet tail even swept the legs of their trousers.
"This is... Nian?" Mu Xiaowu finally breathed a sigh of relief when she felt it left, although she knew it could not see herself.
"Twenty...twenty..."
As if she was about to respond to her words, a cry like the pronunciation of the word "Nian" suddenly came from a distance. She suddenly realized that this was the origin of the Nian beast. It came from an ancient and mysterious place under the sea. After occasionally tasting it, it began to kill people on earth.
"It's weird. Didn't they say they wanted to dig a ditch to defend against the Nian beast? Why didn't they see that fire ditch?" Sang murmured.
Mu Xiaowu felt the north wind gusts, and when he looked up, he saw that the cold moon was rising very high, as if it was about to disappear from the sky, so he frowned and replied, "How many months should be there before that time. The Nian Beast may have found a way to cross the ditches, and they can't stop it..."
Speaking of this, she paused suddenly and widened her eyes, "Is it the winter solstice today? That is the day when Grandma Yi died of Shekou?"
After hearing what she said, Sang was a little stunned. Then he took a step and walked towards the direction where the Nian Beast left. If she wanted to let it see, then it would take a look. I don’t know how much the tragic world has witnessed. Did she still imagine that she would have a little sympathy for her encounter?
"Dream." It sneered coldly, but its steps were faster. Mu Xiaowu saw Sang walking towards the village, so he followed. The two of them walked through the bare cotton field, and once again came to the ridge where Grandma Yi and Xiaomi rested.
Looking down from this direction, the entire village can be seen. Now, this quiet village is like a verdant veil, and everything has turned into hazy black shadows, which cannot be seen in detail, including the "New Year" that has already swam to the entrance of the village.
It lies on the outer edge of the village, with its huge body rising and falling like a small hill. It is dormant and dare not cross the boundary easily. Why? Has it ever tasted bitter here? Because someone...
Finally, it couldn't hold back anymore, and its tail swept gently on the ground. It swam towards the village, and its scales burst into flames brought a light smoke.
The village was very quiet, so quiet that it could be heard for years. It was shuttled between the streets and alleys of the house, and from time to time, it even plunged its head into the window door, but it did not find what it wanted: there was no one here, the house was all empty, let alone people, and even half a ghost could not be seen. Could it be that they gave up, just like people in other villages, they took their families to the mountain?
It was impossible, it remembered the old figure standing among the crowd. It had never seen such a firm and calm face. She was their backbone, Dinghai Needle. As long as she was still there, the people in this village would not retreat.
She made it suffer a lot, fire attack, stone attack... If it weren't for such a hard ear-scaling protective body, it would have died at her hands several times. Why was she so tenacious? Like a stone that can never be gnawed, the more it gets, the more courage it becomes, and never give up until it is put to death...
Nian bit her teeth and made a creaking sound: an old woman who has not had a few years of life actually wants its life, so today she will know what the person who opposes it will end up.
"Clang."
A loud noise suddenly came from behind, and then the sound came continuously, one by one, like ten thousand iron cavalry rushing, and like thousands of thunder rolling down. Nian lived in the deadly deep sea, and was suddenly frightened by the loud noise that had never been heard before, and the scales suddenly rose from the root, and even their body trembled.
What is it? It turned around and widened its yellow eyes like copper bells.
There was a red look in front of me. People in red seemed to emerge from the ground. Everyone held gongs, drums, cymbals in their hands, and beat the instruments in their hands loudly. But Nian didn't know what it was. It only felt that the sound was like the red on their bodies, stimulating every organ, and wished they could poke countless holes on it.
Such a harsh sound could split the sea water... Before he knew it, it curled up, and it was afraid that it could not help but retreat a little.
The slight movement attracted the attention of the crowd. The first time they saw this countless cannibal monster retreating. Although it was only a little bit, it made them excited and excited. In the past, even when facing the Fire Grotto Stone Bomb, it never shrank, was brutal and completely ignored the injury. Therefore, the fortifications they worked hard to build were completely destroyed under its fierce attacks. But this time, they just picked up the gongs and cymbals according to Grandma Yi's instructions, but Nian was afraid.
"I have been looking for its weakness, but I found that this beast is very fierce. It is afraid of fire, but the scales are hard. If it cannot last long, and if it attacks with fire weapons, it will still not be able to kill it. But it is strong and it is not easy to control it, so later I wondered if there would be another thing that could subdue it. That thing must be everywhere on land, but not in the deep sea. When it sees it, it will be frightened and we can take this opportunity to turn the defeat. After thinking about it, I finally thought that it was a sound. In the deep sea, in addition to being lightless, there are few noises. When it first heard a loud noise, it would be scared to be out of mind. In this way, our opportunity will come."
Grandma Yi's words echoed in everyone's mind. Now, her words have come true. They looked at Nian Bun Chenghuang's eyes and found that fear was gathering from around them towards their pupils, filling the two huge eyes.
"Kill it..."
"Run..."
"Revealed its skin..."
The blood rolled in everyone's heart, even hotter than the hot oil. They knocked on the drums and cymbals in their hands and rushed towards the New Year. It's not that they are not afraid, after all, what they have to face is a monster with their heads full of human heads, but whenever they retreat, they will be pulled by the person next to them.
They couldn't retreat, they remembered the last sentence that Grandma B said.
"No matter whether it is sound or fire, it is not as important as the same thing. Only when we are 'integrated' and twisted together can we defeat it. We are not afraid of huge waves, but we are afraid of the oars being uneven. With one force, ten thousand men will be invincible in the world."
