“Buzz buzz buzz…”
The noise grew louder and louder, and a feeling of irritation and oppressive fear filled the air.
Because of the crystal accessories, Docler woke up earlier. He looked at the dazed expressions of the people around him and had no time to think about the rumor of the curse.
"Hide!!! Hide quickly!!! Don't just stand there!!! Lock up and go into the house and the cellar!! Close the doors and windows!!!"
Docler yelled at the top of his lungs.
The people around him also reacted as if they had just woken up from a dream, and helped Docler shout to the surroundings. Old Mudlin even shouted and excitedly pulled his son and family into the house. Of course, he could not forget the big money sponsor Docler.
With hair standing on end, the village could be heard buzzing with the sounds of doors closing and locking.
At old Mudlin's house, a group of people returned to the house, including Dokler and two guards, plus Mudlin's wife, son and daughter, a total of eight people.
"Hurry up and bring the table over here, along with the wooden hoe, and prop up the doors and windows!"
“Come together!!”
Docler didn't move. He watched them frantically moving things. He must have been in the same situation in other rooms, so he observed every detail in the house.
In order to keep out the cold, the whole house is quite tight and all the gaps are filled with fillers, but there is an inverted funnel-like mud and wood structure smoke exhaust facility on the stove.
"This chimney, this chimney leads us in! Let's go to the inner room, let's go to the inner room!"
When Docler saw the chimney, he shuddered with fear and shouted. Everyone hastily reinforced the door and other places, and then hurried into a larger inner room. Then they moved the cabinets inside to block the windows and propped up the door with a platform.
It seemed like a panic as they hid outside and entered the house, but in fact, including blocking the door and entering the inner room, it only took less than two minutes.
Now, apart from the "buzzing" sound outside that was getting closer and closer, the only sound left was the heavy breathing of the people in the inner room.
"oops!!"
Old Mudlin suddenly slapped his head hard and said to the nervous person next to him.
"We should have hidden in the cellar outside the house!!! It might be safer there than in the house!"
But this is just talk. We don’t dare ask them to go out again now.
Less than ten seconds after the words fell, a series of "clattering, clattering, clattering..." sounds came from the roof and everywhere outside the house.
It was like there was big, dense hail hitting the outside.
"Shh... don't make any sound..."
Docler was sweating coldly and pressing down with his hands weakly. Without knowing what this thing was, any mistake could bring about a catastrophic disaster.
“Creaky…Creaky…Creaky…” “Buzz buzz buzz…”
The sounds of gnawing and rubbing were everywhere.
The two women in the room covered their mouths, and old Mudlin even held his youngest son in his arms and covered his mouth, fearing that the child would scream out of fear.
The noise outside was getting louder and louder, and I could constantly feel something falling.
"Crack~~Bang..." "Bang~~" "Snap..."
From the outer room came the sound of a window or door support falling, and the sound of a metal object falling to the ground.
Every time he did that, everyone in the inner room trembled.
Docler wiped the sweat from his forehead with his sleeve, and without caring about the host's reaction, he pulled the quilt down from the ** in the inner room and blocked the gap under the door.
Some people in the room had already hidden under the bed, and the captain of the guard and Vita had drawn their swords.
“Ah!!!” “No…”
There was a faint sound of panicked cries coming from somewhere in the village, but everyone was busy with their own business and no one dared to meddle.
Tension and panic... They waited silently with tense nerves. During this time, Docler and others remembered that there was a voice reminding them that fire and smoke were weapons of resistance, but the things that could make fire were outside and no one dared to go out.
Qin Xiaoxia's thought body had no worries and wandered around the village.
The largest of these locusts was as big as a thermos cup. They were so densely packed that they covered a large area around them like a yellow-gray blanket, and the village was just a small dot in this area.
There are still many locusts flying in the sky. After eating everything, they will move away quickly. On the ground, some of the locusts in the village seem to be looking for something.
Until the lid of a cellar was bitten open by hundreds of locusts with sharp jaws, and thousands of locusts swarmed in, which was a live version of a horror movie.
There were exclamations in the cellar, and even screams later.
"Are you looking for tender greens?"
A pure body of thoughts has no power, at least without a physical body to use, so Qin Xiaoxia can't do anything substantial.
Just now he tried to influence these locusts, but all he perceived was a strong sense of hunger and chaotic insect information.
Perhaps after the world power of the earth has further infected this place, he can try it again.
Everyone was terrified all night and stayed in their hiding place.
At dawn, Dokler and others heard the "buzzing" sound reaching its peak again, indicating that the locust swarm had moved.
"It seems...he has left?"
After waiting for more than half an hour, Old Mudlin whispered carefully.
Afterwards, people including Docler and his companions came out from their hiding places one after another.
The objects in the front hall of old Mudlin's house were tilted all over the place, the windows and doors were still closed, and the windows had fallen off. Docler even saw the incomplete corpses of two or three strange insects in the room, but this time they were not empty shells.
All the uneaten food in the hall had been eaten up, even the boiling tender cabbage stew with meat in the pot was gone. The locusts were attracted by the aroma and kept coming one after another. They would not stop even if they were scalded to death, and then they would be eaten by their own kind behind them along with their corpses and broth.
There were a lot of locust feces on the roofs and ground in the village, as well as some locusts that had died due to competition among the same species and other reasons. Some had been eaten by other locusts, some were intact, and some were even still alive with missing limbs and wings.
"The trees and grass... are all gone..."
Everyone stared around blankly. The lush greenery around the village was now bare, and some of the vegetables or food that the villagers had placed outside their houses for drying had all disappeared.
"Ah!!!! The Xino family!!!! Them!!!!"
A terrified scream came from somewhere in the village, and everyone ran towards it.
The wooden lid of Xino's cellar was gone. Strong villagers went down with torches and brought up five bloody bones.
In the whole village, only the smart Xinuo family hid in the cellar, and in the cellar was hidden the villagers' precious treasure, tender core vegetables.
In the cellars of other families, all the tender vegetables and other stored grains were eaten up, and the Xino family even lost their entire lives.
“It’s terrible… It’s terrible…”
Docler was trembling as he spoke, and took out the crystal accessory from his chest with shaking hands.
This terrifying yellow-grey monster is just like the demon in the legend. It leaves no life wherever it passes. Is this the curse...
