Chapter 307 Plants vs. Zombies
Li Chu looked at the old blind man and could not help but remain silent for a moment.
This person...
It seems that he has no awareness of being a blind man at all.
Li Chu asked again: "Old man, are you also from this village?"
The old blind man replied: "If I were also from this village, wouldn't I have suffered the same disaster? I am just an eyewitness."
Wang Longqi asked, "Then, old man, do you know about the incident that happened in Shanbei Village a few days ago, about the 'Medicine Beauty'?"
"Medicine Beauty?"
The old blind man repeated it, and then said: "I know that the people of Shanbei Village were arrested because of Yao Meiren! Because someone wanted to refine a powerful medicine in the Black Mountain, and wanted to add Yao Meiren to the refining! And the people of Shanbei Village knew the news about Yao Meiren, so they were arrested and tortured. As for what happened in the past few days, I don't know."
"oh?"
From what he said, it seemed that the story of Yao Meiren did exist.
Li Chu asked again: "Do you know who is the one who took the villagers away?"
"Then I don't recognize them." The old blind man shook his head again, and then urged: "If you don't hurry to the Sheep Slaughtering Cave, those people may also be refined."
Li Chu frowned, looked in the direction of the Sheep-Slaughtering Cave he mentioned, and nodded.
Turning back, he asked the old blind man, "Old man, do you need any help?"
Because there was no one else here, and the old man was at least nominally a "blind man", he was worried that the old man would have trouble with his mobility after they left, so he asked specifically.
"No need." The old blind man refused decisively.
A cold attitude that says, "The plot has been introduced, the mission [Save Shanbei Village] has been released, life has no other meaning, and you don't have to care about me anymore."
Before leaving, Wang Longqi looked at the old blind man suspiciously, and asked Du Lanke intentionally or unintentionally: "Old Du, who is more handsome when you look at me and Li Chu standing together?"
Before Dulanke could react, the old blind man couldn't help but burst out laughing.
"Hey!" Wang Longqi jumped up: "You still say you are blind?"
"What?" The old blind man immediately pretended nothing had happened.
"You don't know what we look like, why are you laughing?" Wang Longqi asked.
The old blind man said sternly: "I remembered something happy."
…
"There is definitely something strange about this old blind man!"
On the way to the Sheep Slaughtering Cave, Wang Longqi made an affirmative sound.
Li Chu naturally knew that the old man's arrival was strange. The entire Shanbei Village was captured, so how could he be the only outsider left there and still be fine after knowing everything? It couldn't be that he was really a guide who appeared specifically for the plot and the mission.
But time was running out, and they had no time to delve into the old man's purpose. The empty Shanbei Village obviously couldn't give any clues, so they could only trust it and take a look.
They kept walking along the direction the old man said for a while, and after that, they saw a mountain that looked like a sheep's head.
The strange red fog of the entire Black Mountain is the most dense here! The origin of the red fog is likely here.
"Go up and take a look."
With a bang, Li Chu raised his hand and raised the Chunyang Sword, clearing the way ahead.
They walked up Sheep Head Peak from the side, climbing all the way along the ridge. When they were about to reach the "Sheep Head", they heard strange "uh uh wow wow" sounds coming from the front, and they were very frequent.
Li Chu followed the sound and looked down the mountain wall. His eyes suddenly fixed! On the mountainside of Yangtou Peak, there was a huge black cave. Red mist was gushing out of the cave like thick smoke. And outside the cave, a terrifying scene was happening! ...
The mountain is named "Sheep Head" because of its shape. The cave is located right below the sheep head, at the neck position, and has a hole in the neck, hence the name "Sheep Slaughter Cave".
There are 72 barbarian tribes in southern Xinjiang today, but a long time ago, there were far more than that. There were probably hundreds of barbarian tribes in the entire southern Xinjiang. It was only later due to wars, massacres, plagues, integration and other reasons that they evolved into the 72 barbarians of today.
It is said that Tuyang Cave was once the ancestral land of a barbarian tribe.
Even now, many years later, the people living around Black Mountain will never go near here easily, because it is said that coming here may cause them to be contaminated by the ghosts of the barbarian ancestors.
But now, the outside of the Sheep Slaughtering Cave is full of people!
Of course, although those figures are humanoid, it is not quite accurate to call them “human”…
It's clearly the walking dead!
That's right, there were hundreds and thousands of zombies surrounding and approaching the cave entrance. Some with intact limbs were walking slowly, while some with broken limbs were crawling on the ground. The common point was that they all wanted to rush into the cave entrance like crazy!
It seems that the red mist has a fatal attraction to them! Li Chu thought about it and thought that maybe their "resurrection" was indeed related to the red mist, but it was not a true resurrection from the dead, but just turned the corpse into a walking corpse without any intelligence.
There should be very few people who can still remember things like Tietouwa's father, and that's why he chose to go home instead of coming here... It's also possible that the longer he's been dead, the lower his intelligence will be...
The old blind man said that someone was going to refine a powerful medicine in the Black Mountains, and it was very likely that the red mist was just a side effect.
However, none of these ferocious zombies have been able to get close to the cave entrance because there are circles of strange arrangements around the entrance.
In the front was a row of tall rocks, closely packed together, like a solid wall. Even if four or five zombies attacked with their hands, feet, and teeth, it would be difficult to destroy them quickly.
But after these zombies were resurrected, their strength increased greatly. As they continued to attack relentlessly, they would eventually smash the rocks into pieces.
Outside this row of rocks, there is a circle of hard barriers similar to pumpkin shells. They are obviously much tougher than the hard and fragile rocks, thus forming a double protection.
The plants in the second row are extremely terrifying.
It was clearly a grass, but it had a big mouth with fangs! It shook its head around, as if it was extremely hungry for food! Its two rows of teeth were as sharp as blades, and it could swallow a zombie whole in one bite, and it could also make strange swallowing movements! Even if a zombie could luckily climb over the rocks in front, it would definitely not be able to pass this level! The third and fourth rows were a kind of green plant with slender stems and leaves, hole-shaped flowers, and a rather wretched shape. This plant would spit out a green bullet every few breaths, which seemed to be their fruit.
This fruit seemed to have a spirit. Each one of them could fly over the rocks in front and accurately hit the zombies.
The crackling sound continues!
The speed of this fruit's ejection is no less than that of a bullet, and its force is extremely strong! Even if it hits a zombie who doesn't feel pain, it can instantly shatter a part of its limbs.
The two rows of plants fired together, it was like a hail of bullets! Even if the zombies were thick-skinned, they would be smashed to pieces if they got close.
Behind this green plant, there is a row of plants with the same shape but bluish color.
The fruits they produce not only possess extremely strong power, but also seem to have an enchanted effect, capable of freezing the zombies hit and greatly slowing their movements.
This strange plant magic array blocked thousands of zombies outside the cave entrance. If there weren't so many zombies, they would have been cleared out long ago! Looking at the bloody scene below, Wang Longqi and Du Lanke were both surprised.
"this……"
“This is hell on earth!”
"There must be something strange in the cave." Li Chu took a calm look and then said, "The situation is unclear. Let's sneak in secretly and don't make too much noise."
Although the large number of zombies outside made him quite tempted, he did not act rashly.
If the purpose was simply to exorcise evil spirits, then they could just charge in regardless. But now the goal was to gather information, so they couldn't be too ostentatious, so as not to alert the enemy.
So the two of them dragged Wang Longqi and flew directly over the front row of plants and landed outside the cave entrance. Presumably, when the owner of the cave set up the formation, he was just trying to deal with the zombies and didn't take into account the existence of flying.
Pop.
The three men landed and were about to look up at the situation in the cave and sneak in carefully when there was a sudden crisp sound under Dulanke's feet.
"I think I stepped on something..." he whispered.
Li Chu had already looked down and saw a pair of red plant fruits under Lao Du's feet. Most of them were buried in the soil, with only a small part exposed. They shattered when he stepped on them.
A dazzling red light suddenly spread out...
Oh no.
"This thing will explode!" Wang Longqi also shouted nearby.
But the second half of the sentence was drowned out.
boom--
