Chapter 40: Human-like, non-human, monster

Tang Yu also looked solemn.

"Although there are indeed records of the custom of sacrificing human sacrifices to gods in ancient times, this custom is truly too cruel and horrifying."

"It's almost been abolished a long time ago. Besides, a god's duty is to protect the people and keep them safe. He wouldn't do such a thing as cannibalism."

As he spoke, Tang Yu's eyes flashed with coldness.

"I'm afraid this is a fabrication made up by someone with ulterior motives."

Seeing that they didn't believe her, A Meng became anxious and started to explain to them with gestures.

"It's true! I've seen that mountain god! When I was little, my good friend, Xiao Tang, was chosen to be the mountain god's wife and was sent to a cave in Panlong Mountain overnight."

"I was young at the time and didn't understand what was going on, so I followed it out of curiosity and hid behind a huge rock."

"In the end, I saw... there really was a monster in the cave that looked like a human but was not human. It dragged several girls in, and then..."

Talking about this, it seems like it was just yesterday.

Ah Meng's brain suddenly exploded. She had accidentally overheard the conversation between the village chief and several others.

It was from that time that A Meng decided to pretend to be deaf and dumb in order to escape the fate of being sacrificed to the mountain god.

Shi Yi's expression was complicated.

"Look! The Mountain God... The Mountain God is coming, the Mountain God is coming!"

The village chief's exclamation came from the front, his voice seemed to be forbearance, fear, but more of it was excitement.

The few people were interrupted from their thoughts by the village chief's loud shouting, and they couldn't help but look forward.

On the intricate mountain road, from afar, a creature crawling on all fours was running towards them.

Seeing that speed far exceeds that of Bolt, it can't be a human.

If it is a wild beast, it is unlikely.

The thing had distinctly human features and even had hair.

Shi Yi opened his mouth in surprise. None of them had ever seen such a thing before and were in great shock. It took them a long while to find their voices.

Mi Chen asked in disbelief, "What is that?"

Could it be that she was right about some kind of monster that transformed from a spirit into a human?

“Ahhhhhhhhh!”

A Meng screamed, and finally couldn't hold back her expression anymore, she fell to the ground and covered her face.

“Mountain God…That’s the Mountain God!”

Mountain god?

Shi Yi's expression was serious at this moment, as he saw the so-called 'mountain god' running down from the top of the mountain.

“Roar, roar, roar—”

The high-pitched sound echoed throughout the space, startling a bunch of birds in the tree.

This sound... is a bit like the sound of birds...

The village chief and his men were also frightened and ran away immediately.

However, two feet were obviously not as fast as four legs. Before they had run a few steps, they were caught by the so-called mountain god and bitten severely.

"Help! Help! Help!"

"Please spare my life, Lord Mountain God!"

“Ahhhhhhhhhhhh!!”

The scene suddenly fell into extreme chaos, monkeys scattered when the tree fell, and the village chief was captured by the mountain god.

Gao Yuan and his companions seemed to be frightened at this moment.

A fishy and smelly liquid flowed out from the crotch of my pants, and I was so scared that I peed my pants.

At this moment, they could not think of any resistance except screaming.

Gu Hansheng's expression froze.

“Save people first!”

Everyone nodded in agreement, and saw Mi Chen uprooting the weeping willow and the red pine tree from the ground.

He smashed the monster hard.

Tang Yu dipped his finger in cinnabar, drawing talismans with his fingers flying, sweat dripping from his calm face.

Gu Hansheng stepped forward and attracted the monster's attention.

Feng Ming was quick-witted and pulled the village chief and a group of people out from the bloody scene.

After taking a few steps, he formed a seal on the spot, and suddenly, colorful light shone around everyone.

At this time, Gu Hansheng had close contact with the monster and was surprised to find that.

Rather than saying that this thing is a monster, it is better to say that it is a monster with human characteristics.

This thing is half a head taller than a normal human, and its entire body is about two meters long, very tall.

The upper body maintains a human form, and the skin is obviously the smooth skin of a normal human.

It's just that the facial features look a little different from those of humans.

The eyes have vertical pupils, like those of an animal.

And a pointed beak similar to that of a bird grew on its mouth.

On top of his head, in the middle of his hair, there was a soft piece of flesh shaped like a scallop.

Its limbs were very slender. In Gu Hansheng's opinion, it looked more like a chicken that one could see on the dining table every day than a bird.

Such a strange shape, formed on a person's body, looks out of place and very scary.

No wonder the village chief and others would name this thing a mountain god.

"careful!"

Shi Yi was within the safety zone, and looking at the intense situation in front of him, he couldn't help but worry.

Tang Yu beside him drew countless talismans and attacked the monster accurately as if they were free.

At this moment, Shi Yi saw clearly what he was drawing, it was actually the Five Thunder Talisman!

This talisman is extremely powerful, but it is obvious that Tang Yu’s ability at this time is not enough to trigger the thunder from the sky.

Throwing the talisman out will only have the effect of a landmine.

Then the talisman flew onto the monster's body, creating sparks.

A burst of fire spread from his body, but according to Shi Yi's observation, that thing didn't seem to be afraid of fire attacks.

She wiped the cold sweat from her forehead, feeling a little anxious.

"What should I do? That thing is not afraid of fire!"

At this time, the white tiger lying on Shi Yi's shoulder had long since stopped being lazy and became serious, with its hair standing on end.

It rose from above her shoulders.

“This thing…”

Baihu's voice rang out in Shiyi's mind, and no one else could hear their conversation except each other.

Shi Yi talked to Baihu with great confidence.

"What's wrong with this thing?"

Baihu looked serious at this moment, and Shi Yi had never seen him like this before.

"This thing is neither human nor inhuman, I'm afraid it's not simple."

After she finished speaking, before Shi Yi could respond, she felt her shoulders suddenly relax, and the entire weight disappeared.

When she looked down again, she saw the white tiger that had just spoken in her mind rush out of the protective circle like lightning and head towards the monster's face.

"Meow meow meow~"

Shi Yi was terrified, "Bai Hu, where are you going? Come back quickly!"

Baihu didn't have any extra time to answer Shi Yi's words at this moment.

It immediately showed its claws, a cold light flashed in its eyes, and an invisible pressure enveloped the monster.

When the monster saw the white tiger, it was like a natural racial suppression.

In an instant, the monster was frightened and stood there in a daze.

At this moment, Gu Hansheng was a little surprised that this little kitten that suddenly appeared was so powerful.

However, seeing that the monster's expression relaxed, Gu Hansheng directly signaled with his eyes to Mi Chen who was not far away.

Mi Chen moved a huge stone and smashed it directly onto the monster's head.

Gu Hansheng took advantage of the victory and used his puppetry to tie the monster tightly together.

At this point, the monster was finally completely subdued.

But he was still roaring unwillingly, and the shrill screams echoed in everyone's ears, which was very uncomfortable.
