Chapter 8 It’s reasonable for me, with white hair and white eyes, to become an immortal, right?
A moment.
The huge monster, whose body was mostly covered by the black fog, leaned forward slightly and stared at the trembling humans. "Why did you hurt my friends?"
The atmosphere suddenly became dull and terrifying.
The villagers below were so frightened that they were silent, not to mention the few people who were being stared at by the monsters with angry eyes, who were so frightened that they couldn't stop shaking.
"explain--!"
A loud roaring sound exploded.
The Zhao family could no longer resist the fear and collapse in their hearts: "My king, Brother Yuan is a disaster, we just want to survive--"
The other parents of the children who joined forces with Lin Ge'er to push others were so scared that they stumbled and their first reaction was to shift the blame: "We didn't mean to do it. It was him, Lin Ge'er who did it!"
At this moment, several children were already scared silly.
Especially Brother Lin.
When he instigated several children from the same village to try to kill his cousin, he watched the other party sinking and floating in the lake. He did not feel any fear or panic in his heart, but only felt extremely refreshed.
But now, he was so scared that he cried out loud, and he was at a loss and could only seek shelter from his relatives: "Dad, Mom, Grandpa, Grandma... I'm so scared."
The Zhao family instinctively held the child in their arms, feeling extremely heartbroken.
Mrs. Zhao was afraid and unwilling, and she cried out with courage from nowhere: "That disaster star is not a good thing. When he was born, the whole village became dry..."
Before he could finish his words, the huge monster's expression darkened: "Shut up!"
Strong winds blew all around, revealing more terrifying monsters, which densely surrounded the villagers. It seemed that as long as the monsters gave the order, they would rush up and eat the entire village.
The whole village sat down in fear, and the village chief angrily scolded the Zhao family: "Shut up, do you want the whole village to be buried with you?!"
The Zhao family suddenly came to their senses and hurriedly covered Mrs. Zhao's mouth.
Zhao Fu stared at Mrs. Zhao, feeling angry and furious. It was okay for her to act like a tyrant and make a scene at home on a normal day, but at this moment she was still confused and almost caused everyone to die here.
Zhao Fu didn't know whether these monsters would let him and everyone else go, so he could only try to play the emotional card. He trembled and said, "My king, we really didn't intend to harm Yuan Ge'er. We just couldn't bear to see Yuan Ge'er die, so we came forward to make three rules with the village chief and the villagers. If..."
Before he could finish his words, the tree next to him jumped out again: "You are lying! It was clearly Yuan Ge'er's parents who begged you, and you wanted to take this opportunity to make them work like slaves for your family, so you went to the village chief. I was attached to that tree back then, and I heard it all clearly!"
There was a snapping sound.
A stream of air appeared out of nowhere and slapped Zhao Fu's face fiercely. The huge monster sitting above him looked even colder and angrier: "Mortal, don't try to deceive me."
During the whole process, he didn't even have time to scream. He was slapped so hard that his face was swollen.
This action completely stunned everyone, and they truly realized that the monster's methods were beyond the understanding and imagination of mortals like them.
Even Mrs. Zhao felt a little scared.
"I know all the evil things you have done." The tall monster lowered his eyes slightly, looking at these weak mortals, and said in a cold voice: "Although I cannot interfere in human affairs at will, it does not mean that I cannot punish you."
The hearts of the whole village were suddenly lifted.
"Anyone who has hurt my friend will suffer the pain of drowning every night until the day of his death. The rest of you must not hurt my friend again and affect his cultivation in the mortal world..."
The following words gradually faded away and could not be heard clearly.
The next moment.
The black fog suddenly surged in and submerged everything. Before the villagers could even scream or react, the surroundings instantly turned into a gloomy and eerie place.
The villagers huddled together in fear and trembling.
"Help—help me."
"I was wrong, Your Majesty. It was my son who pushed the man. It had nothing to do with me, Your Majesty."
Several people had terrified expressions and their limbs seemed to be controlled by invisible forces. They walked out step by step from the villagers. The villagers looked and found that these people were members of the Zhao family, the children who joined Lin Ge'er in pushing people, and their families.
The most important thing is that even those people who deliberately caused trouble five years ago were among them. They looked terrified, and their faces were covered with snot and tears.
No villager dared to come forward to help.
These people walked towards the lake step by step. As soon as their feet touched the water, their bodies were free. Just as they were about to turn around and run, they felt a huge force on their backs and fell into the lake involuntarily.
"Help, help me——"
The lake water was icy and freezing. They struggled in the water. Those who could swim subconsciously swam towards the shore. However, as soon as the surprise appeared on their faces, it was replaced by great fear.
In the lake, it seemed as if something had grabbed his feet and was slowly pulling him down towards the center of the lake.
"Something is pulling my feet, village chief, please save me, I don't want to die, I don't want to die——"
"I really know I was wrong. I shouldn't have hurt Brother Yuan back then. I was really wrong."
"It was my son who killed Brother Yuan. Why should I be drowned too? This is not fair."
At the critical moment of life and death, these people finally became afraid and regretted.
Even the villagers who treated their sons as treasures could not help but feel resentment towards the children at this moment, otherwise how could the whole family be captured by the monster and drowned in the lake.
A group of people sank into the lake, quickly floated up, and then continued to sink into the lake.
The process is torturous and painful.
In less than an hour, some people had already collapsed and were babbling nonsense, starting to curse like crazy. As a result, they soon felt severe pain in their calves, as if something was gnawing at their flesh.
The lake was soon covered with blood.
This scene completely frightened everyone so much that they dared not talk nonsense or go crazy anymore. They could only feel the pain of dying in despair until dawn.
When a cock crowed.
Soon, screams of terror were heard in the village.
The Zhao family staggered out of the house, and when they saw each other's terrified expressions, their hearts suddenly skipped a beat.
"Dad, Mom, are you also——"
Zhao Pingshun and Tian Xiaowan couldn't help but shudder, not daring to say anything related to Yuan Ge'er or even those monsters.
They had not forgotten the tree demon, and it even knew the secrets they had talked about in the house five years ago.
"You were also - sunk into the lake?" Zhao Fu's face looked grim, and the last bit of hope in his heart was completely destroyed.
That horrible dream turned out to be true.
Zhao Fu still remembers the pain he felt when he was blown away by the fan. When he woke up this morning, his face and body were fine, but the pain was still there.
"No, that's impossible." Mrs. Zhao was both afraid and angry: "Why are you coming to settle accounts with us, that evil star——"
"You don't want to live anymore?!" Zhao Fu grabbed Mrs. Zhao's neck and shouted with bloodshot eyes: "It's all your fault. You didn't even pay for the medicine. Now, we have to be sunk into the lake every night!"
When Mrs. Zhao heard this, she was stunned.
She was so scared at the time that she didn't hear clearly what the monster said. She thought this dream was terrible enough, but when she woke up, there was no wound on her body.
The resentment and anger in her heart surged up again.
It’s all because of that disaster star——
But Zhao Fu's words completely frightened Mrs. Zhao, "Is this true?"
Just one night had almost brought her to a breakdown.
What if I had to suffer this kind of pain every night until the day I die?
Mrs. Zhao's teeth chattered, and she suddenly stood up: "I'm going to settle accounts with that evil star—"
"Mom, are you crazy?!" Zhao Pingshun collapsed and yelled, his eyes full of hatred: "Dad is right, if you hadn't insisted on plotting against the second brother and the others, why would the Monster King come to seek revenge on us?"
Even the parents of several children in the village sank into the lake.
It is not difficult to guess that if Mrs. Zhao really goes to settle accounts with the second brother's family, their whole family will probably be blamed.
They cannot afford such consequences.
Mrs. Zhao took a few steps back in confusion. Her heart felt as if there was a big scar on it, and the wind was blowing in her chest, making her feel cold and painful.
Isn't she doing this just to make the eldest brother's family live a good life?
But why did it all become her fault?
…
"Zhao Fu——!"
In the distance, angry roars could be heard faintly.
The Zhao family members ignored the quarrel and looked outside quickly, their expressions suddenly becoming ugly.
It’s over!
A large group of people were walking towards here, each with fear and anger on their face.
Obviously he's here to settle accounts with them!
…
As soon as the village chief woke up, he confirmed from his family that last night's dream was not an illusion. The whole village was now being targeted by the monster king!
Fortunately, the monster did not vent his anger on the entire village.
This means that there is still a chance to make amends, and the most urgent task is to stop the Zhao family from causing trouble for Zhao Ping'an's family.
The whole village had experienced that nightmare and was already terrified.
As soon as the village chief spoke, they followed.
In front of the whole village, the village chief warned: "You are not allowed to cause trouble to Zhao Ping'an and his family again. Do you understand?"
Although Mrs. Zhao was hurt by the eldest brother's family, she couldn't bear to see Brother Lin suffer. She gritted her teeth and got up, "Village Chief, those are monsters. What if they go crazy and want to eat us? Why can't we find a master or a Taoist priest to exorcise them?"
The villagers who had to endure the pain of being drowned in the pond every night like the Zhao family felt moved.
yes.
Instead of suffering every day, it would be better for the whole village to pool money to find a master to exorcise the demon, and then unite everyone to drive out all the Zhao family members.
The village chief couldn't help but hit the ground with his walking stick and cursed: "With your help, how powerful can the Taoist priests and monks you can find be? If a little monster escapes, can all of us in the village stop its revenge?"
This instantly reminded everyone.
They immediately looked at the Zhao family and the villagers with caution. The village chief made the final decision: "If anyone dares to tell anyone about this in the future, don't blame me for expelling you from the village!"
The Zhao family was panicked and anxious, and tried to ask the village chief to change his mind.
Seeing that no one was moved, the Zhao family members despaired, and the other villagers who were also punished said, "Village chief, we won't look for the Taoist priests and monks. We will just go to Brother Yuan to apologize and ask him to ask the Monster King to let us go..."
The words haven’t been finished yet.
All around, there seemed to be some wind blowing through the branches, bringing with it a faint sound like laughter. The people's voices stopped abruptly and they looked at the surrounding trees in horror.
——Seems to be warning them.
Everyone thought of the trees in the dream. Could they be staring at here right now?
The village chief felt a little creepy and said, "Everyone, please disperse quickly so as not to delay farm work."
The group of people dispersed again.
Only a few people were left with expressions of fear on their faces. They didn't dare to stay here any longer and quickly went home. The Zhao family members hurriedly ran back to the house and closed the door. They were so scared that they didn't even dare to whisper.
Zhao Ermei, who went back with the whole village, was a little dazed.
——How is that possible?
She couldn't help pinching herself.
pain.
Liu Ermei couldn't help but look at the villagers' faces expressing their fear and inexplicable uneasiness about the unknown monsters. It all didn't seem fake at all.
Besides, what's the point?
When Liu Ermei returned home, for the first time, she ignored her parents-in-law and husband, and ran directly to the backyard with her daughter in her arms, and asked nervously and quietly: "Little sister, how did you sleep last night?"
Zhao Xiaomei didn't know what was going on outside. She just looked at her parents and grandparents with panic expressions, as if something terrible had happened. She felt inexplicably uneasy and answered obediently, "I slept very well."
"Really..." Liu Ermei suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.
Just this morning.
She suddenly heard her husband screaming and calling him a monster.
She thought her husband was having a nightmare, and then her parents-in-law and everyone in the village had the same dream.
There were all kinds of terrifying monsters in the dream, and the villagers swore that they came to avenge Yuan Ge'er and seek justice. Those who had hurt Yuan Ge'er all suffered terrible punishment.
The whole village was afraid and terrified by this.
Only she and her daughter...didn't dream of all this.
Liu Ermei touched her daughter's soft, dry hair, and thought of Yuan Ge'er, whom she saw at the foot of the mountain yesterday. He was so well-behaved and quiet, and there was no trace of any monster in him at all.
She was totally confused.
Yuan Ge'er is obviously Cui Niang's biological child and should be a human being. But how could a human become friends with such a terrifying monster king?
Liu Ermei was a little uneasy.
I don’t know whether Zhao Ping’an and Cui Niang know about these things.
Such a big commotion in the village could not be concealed. If they were told in advance, at least they could come up with a plan to deal with it.
Think of this.
Liu Ermei quickly made a decision in her mind.
It just so happened that everyone in the village was focusing on that dream, and now no one dared to rashly approach the foot of the mountain.
It would be safer for her to go there now.
Liu Ermei carried Zhao Xiaomei out of the village, and her parents-in-law didn't notice her at all on the way.
…
Absorbing many emotions silently.
Bai Yuan left the village and walked towards the mountain. He had not forgotten about eating pork.
The system was silent all the way, and couldn't help but speak cautiously: [Host... those monsters just now...? ]
Bai Yuan blinked and replied, "It's fake. It was just a dream."
He simply created this illusion by slightly combining the different characteristics of the same kind he had seen.
The system fell silent.
It should have gotten used to it long ago, used to the host's ability to create all kinds of abilities and scenes in this world without any spiritual energy.
At the foot of the mountain.
When Zhao Ping'an and Lin Cuiniang woke up, they found that their child was missing.
Their first reaction was anxiety, worrying that the child might be in danger.
But when his eyes caught sight of the fish and ice in the corner, he belatedly remembered that his child possessed enormous strength and incredible abilities.
The couple calmed down and decided to look for the child separately.
One went to the river, and the other went to look around the foot of the mountain. They agreed to go home and exchange information before noon.
"Cui Niang——"
Just then, a voice suddenly sounded, and the couple recognized it as Liu Ermei's voice.
Liu Ermei wouldn't come here suddenly for any reason. Could something have happened?
Cui Niang ran out anxiously, "Second sister, what happened?"
Liu Ermei was holding her younger sister in her arms. She rushed over in a hurry. She looked around before she could even catch her breath. She asked in a cautious tone that she didn't even realize was true, "Where's Yuan, Yuan brother?"
Before the couple could say anything, they heard a faint sound like something being dragged in the distance, over and over again. There was a slight sense of rhythm to it, which inexplicably added a bit of eerie atmosphere.
Large prey can easily appear at the foot of the mountain, but it would be troublesome if it was a wild boar or a wolf.
Zhao Ping'an hurried back to the house and picked up the iron tools. He nervously protected Cui Niang and Liu Ermei behind him, "Don't be afraid. It shouldn't be a wild boar."
This was said both to comfort them and to make himself less afraid.
soon.
A small figure appeared from a distance. At a glance, Zhao Ping'an and Lin Cui Niang recognized who that figure was.
It’s Brother Yuan!
The couple was about to breathe a sigh of relief when they were startled by the unknown black thing dragging behind Yuan Ge'er.
What is that?!
The two of them ran over in panic and anxiety. The closer they got, the more shocked and dazed their faces became.
They actually saw their own child, taking small, stumbling steps and dragging a large wild boar covered with black hair.
The wild boar has two tusks. Just from its size you can tell how terrifying it is. Even bears have to temporarily avoid it.
Is the wild boar dead or unconscious?
The couple picked up the child and tried to move away from the pig. Bai Yuan did not struggle, but said happily: "We will eat pork today."
The couple: "..."
W-What?!
"Ah!" Liu Ermei, who ran over closely behind, screamed in fear when she saw the wild boar and hurriedly shouted, "Yuan Ge'er, Ping An Cui Niang, come here quickly."
Bai Yuan explained seriously: "Don't be afraid, the pig is dead."
When the couple heard this, they were a little hesitant.
It’s not that they don’t trust the child, but even three adults may not be able to kill this wild boar without causing any injuries. This wild boar is enough to feed the entire village.
They really couldn't imagine...how Brother Yuan killed the wild boar.
Liu Ermei also heard what Bai Yuan said.
She felt unbelievable at first, and then she suddenly remembered what happened in the village. A monster king came with many little monsters to avenge Yuan Ge'er.
The other party said that he was good friends with Brother Yuan.
Maybe... this wild boar was killed by the monster king?
The more Liu Ermei thought about it, the more reasonable it seemed to her. She breathed a sigh of relief and accepted the death of the wild boar earlier than Zhao Ping'an and Lin Cuiniang. She was afraid of scaring the children, so she asked her younger sister to stay where she was and not come over.
She walked over quickly and took a brave look at the wild boar.
The huge wild boar looked terrifying, its ferocious fangs seemed able to pierce through trees easily, but at a quick glance, there was not a single scar on its body.
The monsters' methods are bizarre, and this makes sense.
Bai Yuan patted Lin Cui Niang with his little hand and said, "Let me go."
Lin Cui Niang subconsciously glanced at Liu Ermei next to her. Just as she was worrying about how to explain to the children not to reveal their specialness, she saw Liu Ermei say, "Don't be afraid, this pig was just given to Yuan Ge'er by the king."
When these words came out, the couple was stunned.
Why don’t they quite understand what Liu Ermei is saying?
Bai Yuan explained seriously: "I killed this pig."
Liu Ermei was also confused.
Why couldn't she understand what Brother Yuan said?
For a moment, except for Bai Yuan, the three adults all had dazed expressions on their faces, looking at each other.
I always feel like we are hiding some secret from each other.
“Crunch—”
The three of them subconsciously looked in the direction of the sound.
The little child was holding the pig's trotter with one hand and continued to walk forward with small steps. The wild boar that required seven or eight people to carry was dragged so easily.
A breeze blew gently.
Liu Ermei's expression slowly froze, she was dazed and shocked.
Brother Yuan——How can you be so strong? ! !
