Su Ziyu's weapon was taken away a long time ago.
So he could only hold the hardwood sword he used for training. It was a mess outside, with many people holding swords. He also heard the sound of crossbows firing from the sentry tower. The light from the torches could not reach very far, and he could only vaguely see a black shadow rushing out of the trap set during the day, and there seemed to be a person lying on the ground next to him, motionless. The black shadow was not very big, but it was quite fast. There were some arrows stuck in its body, but it didn't seem to affect its activities. It rushed out and was surrounded by the crowd, and soon there were several screams.
"What the hell is this?" Su Ziyu clenched the wooden sword nervously.
The shadow seemed to be a humanoid creature, about 1.5 meters tall, hunched over and on all fours, moving very fast, maybe 3 or 4 seconds for 100 meters, and it was hard to see clearly under the cover of darkness. It seemed to be a little afraid of fire, and was driven by the crowd to run towards the darkness on Su Ziyu's side. Su Ziyu prepared to retreat without thinking, who knew what this monster was, it was too fast and looked very dangerous, so he followed his heart and prepared to run away.
but.
What Su Ziyu never expected was that in this dark environment, some bastard suddenly pushed him from behind, and then he was exposed to the monster's escape route.
Squeak!
Which bastard plotted against me? !
Everything happened too fast. Su Ziyu didn't have time to look for the person who pushed him from behind. The hideous monster was about to pounce in front of him. It looked like a one-eyed ghost-faced ape, with cloudy yellow-brown pupils and a circle of dark red blood vessels around the single eye on its forehead. It exuded a fishy and disgusting smell, and its black claws seemed to be quite sharp. The agility of this monster was quite terrifying. The moment it flew over, it swung its black claws at Su Ziyu's face. If he was caught, his whole face would be torn apart. The person in front of him was almost ripped open by the monster's claws.
Can't avoid it!
Su Ziyu realized this in an instant because the monster was so fast.
However, at this moment, the passage of time seemed to slow down. The people around him almost became still, and the monster also began to move in slow motion frame by frame. Su Ziyu swung the wooden sword upwards with all his strength, and then pounced to the right.
Hiss.
The monster was lifted up a little and flew directly over his head. Its sharp claws quickly climbed up the wall to the roof, then jumped into the darkness and disappeared. The people holding torches came over at this time. Su Ziyu leaned against the wall and panted with a lingering fear. His face was gloomy as he glanced at the crowd and soon his eyes fell on the man named Roth.
He suspected that the person who just pushed him was this bastard!
But unfortunately, the opponent's acting skills were good. Before Su Ziyu could confirm whether it was him, he took people to chase the monster. There were some dark red bloodstains on the ground, which should have been left by the monster. It was shot several times on the back by a crossbow, and it should be seriously injured. Now the whole village was in chaos. Su Ziyu saw Lina who was supporting Ken not far away. The speed of the monster was too fast, and Ken seemed to be a little injured. There was a corpse of a villager farther away. The chest was already bloody and it seemed that it had been dug up by something, and the disgusting scarlet internal organs were scattered all over the ground.
Ken's sight fell on Su Ziyu. He just saw Su Ziyu dodge the attack of the ghost-faced monkey. What happened at that moment was too fast. He didn't understand why Su Ziyu was able to dodge, but he could feel that the stranger had burst out with amazing speed at that moment. Maybe in Su Ziyu's eyes, everything around him seemed to slow down at that moment, but in fact, it was not the case in the eyes of others. It was just that he became faster at that moment.
"Next." Ken hesitated for a moment and threw the black short blade at his waist over.
Although Su Ziyu didn't understand what he said, he still reached out to take the black short blade. This was the weapon of the snake leader, and it was later taken away by Ken. If he had held this black short blade instead of a wooden sword, he would have been able to rip the ape monster with a hideous face apart with one strike.
There was something odd about this stranger.
But the most important thing now is to eliminate the ghost-faced monkey. This monster is quite cruel. If it is not killed, it will soon come back for crazy revenge.
"Take him with you."
"We must kill that monster. Otherwise, no one will be safe. It was shot by Poke and can't run too far." Ken said to Lina beside him, and then he gathered some people and asked them to follow Lina.
Although Su Ziyu didn't understand what they said, he guessed a little bit of what they meant.
They were going to kill that monster.
Ken returned the weapon to him, hoping he would help.
Su Ziyu didn't like to owe favors to others. After all, Lina saved his life, so he didn't hesitate to pick up his weapon and followed. Although the monster looked scary, Su Ziyu had changed a lot in the past. He would have been scared to death when he saw such a monster before, but now he would just be scared. He really got braver.
In one sentence - "Don't care about life or death, just fight if you don't agree."
Lina took out a black short bow from the house, and then put two daggers on her waist, holding a sharp short sword in her hand. More than a dozen hunters with weapons followed her, lit torches and took hunting dogs to chase after the blood. Su Ziyu also followed the team. Almost no one spoke along the way. Outside the village, he saw Roth and three people waiting for them. This guy didn't seem to lead anyone to chase. There were bloodstains all along the way. The village sent out more than 20 people and directly followed the bloodstains into the forest.
The monster was also seriously injured, and traces of its escape could be seen along the way.
However, it was not convenient for so many people to move in the forest. After chasing for an hour or two, all the torches were extinguished. They could only rely on a few hunting dogs to lead the way. Fortunately, when they chased to the vicinity of a mountain, they finally saw the figure of the monster.
It crawled into a cave, leaving a trail of blood.
Before Su Ziyu could say anything, the young man named Roth took the lead and followed in. The others relit two torches with flint and followed in.
"Are you all so reckless?"
"Are you not afraid there might be monsters inside?"
Su Ziyu followed Lina into the cave, which was very dark and damp, with a rotten and foul smell. The cave became wider and wider as they went deeper. When Su Ziyu and Lina caught up with the people in front of them, they saw Roth pulling the long sword out of the ghost-faced monkey's chest. He glanced at Su Ziyu provocatively, then swung the sword and chopped off the ghost-faced monkey's head.
What's so arrogant about finishing off a knife? Or are you trying to intimidate me? Su Ziyu narrowed his eyes slightly.
"Finally, we killed this monster!" A one-eyed man said in a deep voice to Lina.
Although Su Ziyu didn't understand what they were saying, he also breathed a sigh of relief.
He looked around in the light of the torch, and seemed to see something in the corner. His scalp tingled, and he reached out and patted Lina beside him, pointing in that direction and said, "What the hell is that!"
Lina didn't understand what he said, but she subconsciously took the torch and shone it around.
There was a sound of people gasping for air.
In the right corner of the cave, there are a lot of human corpses and some scattered fur goods. The most eye-catching thing is a simple altar made of stones, on which are placed several hideous heads and some solidified black internal organs. In the center is a strange one-eyed statue of an evil god with three hideous faces on its head. It looks like some kind of ape, and the one eye in the center of its forehead seems to be alive. It doesn't look like it was carved out of stone, but like an eyeball dug out from some creature.
"They are from the caravan. They were all killed by this monster." Someone said with a serious expression.
There was a chaotic sound of talking all around.
But Su Ziyu could not help but stand there in a daze. The more he looked at the evil god statue, the more his scalp tingled, and he even had a little palpitation. To use a metaphor, his SAN value kept dropping. But he had an impulse to touch it. The golden hourglass in his consciousness space seemed to have changed, guiding him to find something on the strange statue. In the eyes of others, his face was slightly blue at the moment, probably because he was frightened by the horrific scene in front of him. Lina even reached out and shook his palm. Then when Su Ziyu came to his senses, he found that these natives were really brave. They were carrying goods and furs out of those corpses.
Are these people really ordinary hunter villagers?
Or are people of this era just so tough? They didn't even change their expression when seeing so many corpses?
Su Ziyu even saw the one-eyed man kick the half-rotten head aside, then reach out and take out a purse from the smelly, rotten and bloodstained clothes. He actually looked a little happy.
