Vikings: Journey of the Juggernaut

Chapter 82 Weird Tribal Leader

"anyone there?"

In sight, densely packed spider webs extend all the way to the longhouses on both sides of the street. It seems that these longhouses have not been inhabited for a long time.

There was no response from people in their ears.The coastal strait territory is so desolate, which is really abnormal.

Sophia stopped in front of the first longhouse, casually pushed aside the cobwebs covering the door frame, and pushed open the door. A damp, cold air suddenly poured out from the door, mixed with a rotten smell.

Looking up, I saw that it was pitch black inside and looked particularly eerie.

As the door was fully opened, a faint light shone in from the outside. It was also possible to see spider webs woven everywhere in the corners of the long house. The tables and chairs fixed by the firepit in the house were covered with thick mold and had not been occupied for a long time. .

Close the door and continue to the front.

"Is there anyone alive?" A soldier shouted loudly.

creak-

A dilapidated house door opened, and an old woman with a wrinkled face walked out.

"Outsiders, leave quickly. There are not many people in this residential area. That thing will come out at night and kill people. It will kill people..." The old woman was leaning on a cane and muttering in her mouth.

"What will come out?" Sophia asked doubtfully.

"Can't hear well, I'm deaf and can't hear well... Yes, another person died in the place where I live..." the old woman continued to mutter.

"Listening to this, it seems that there is some terrible monster in this place of residence." Jackham said with a vague understanding.

"Ah."

Sophia raised her head and glanced at the gloomy sky. "It's going to rain. Let's rest here for the night and see what kind of monster makes this place so desolate."

When we sailed over, we had already marked it along the coastline, so Bassomo could find it.

"My ax has never been stained with the blood of so-called monsters."

"I'd like to meet you too."

The voices of the Mist Crow warriors dispersed the dull atmosphere in the air.

If we really talk about monsters, those generals of gods are monsters among monsters. With so many warriors there, there is nothing to be afraid of.

As warriors with keen intuition, they felt that they were being stared at by countless pairs of eyes, coming from within the cracks in the doors of the longhouses on both sides.

My heart was also full of curiosity. It was unusual and strange that this Strait Territory was so depressed, and every household was closed in broad daylight.

squeak-

Another longhouse door opened, and another elderly man walked out.

"Foreigners, get out of here quickly, you will make it angry." The old man's tone was not kind.

"If you say that, we won't leave anyway." Sophia replied with a slightly disdainful look, "I want to see what can anger me?"

The old man frowned slightly: "Leave quickly, otherwise it will not only harm yourselves, but also us..."

Before he finished speaking, he was directly interrupted by the female warrior.

"If you keep talking nonsense, I'll kill you first." Sophia glared at the old guy with no respect for the elderly or the young.

"..."

The old man was stunned for a moment, then returned to the longhouse with a sigh and slammed the door.

"It's raining, why don't you leave at night?" The old woman came over at this time, holding a candle in her hand, "It's better not to leave, it's better not to leave. The place where I live has not been lively for a long time. After dark, , remember to close the door tightly, and don’t burn the bonfire, the things in the well will be found by the sound of the burning flame..."

"These candles are for you, use these candles instead of bonfires, don't burn bonfires, don't burn..." the old woman warned again.

"Where are the young warriors here, why don't you destroy that so-and-so?" Jeckam asked loudly in his ear.

"Young warriors, there used to be young warriors." The old woman's turbid eyes flashed through the memories, "Many years ago, that thing crawled out of the well, and people began to die in the place where they lived, first babies, then children, and then Boys, girls, and later, adults also began to die one by one...and now, only us old people are left."

"Then why don't you move away?" Jackam asked again.

"They are all dying people in their dying years. Where can they move to? They have no place to go, no food... The young people are all gone, all gone..." The rain falling from the sky is getting heavier and heavier, The old woman returned to the longhouse mumbling.

As the door closed with a creak, the whole street fell silent again.

Everyone then walked forward for a certain distance. In front of them, in the square not far away, there was a well with a gray linen canopy above it.

"It should be that well. Go over there and see what evil is at work."

Everyone braved the rain and came to the well. The surrounding roads and well mouths showed dark red mottled marks, as if bodies had been dragged into the well.

"It looks very deep." Jackham looked down at the well and saw no water, only darkness.

A soldier picked up a stone and threw it into the well. For a long time, there was no echo.

"Let's go back to the longhouse to take shelter from the rain." Sophia said when she saw the rain getting heavier and heavier.

"Ah."

Everyone followed them back, and after taking a few steps, an unknown strange voice came faintly into their ears, low and depressing.

goo—

"Did you hear anything?"

"heard it."

Everyone returned and looked at the well again. The well was still bottomless, and there was no further sound. "Let's go, no matter what it is, it will be clear when it comes to the door."

goo—

……

In the past two hours, Sophia and her soldiers were cleaning the two unoccupied longhouses at the entrance of the residence. The spider webs were swept away, and a bonfire was lit in the fire pit to dispel the dusty cold air in the house.

Not long after, Bartholomew and Spyro also arrived with the remaining warriors.

"Why did you chase him so far away? It's really hard for us to find him."

"The bow of the ship keeps deviating from the direction, and I can't catch up. Plus, those pirates are too good at running away."

Everyone chatted for a while. When Bassomo and others heard that there were monsters in this residence, they suddenly became interested.

"Burn more firewood and see if the so-called taboo things can't get through."

In this long house, with the lighting of candles in the corners and the light of the fire pit in the middle, the cold air has long been dissipated, revealing a somewhat warm atmosphere.

After chatting for a while again, Spyro led some of the warriors to another longhouse next door.

As soon as he opened the door, the entire street in front of him was as dark as ink. There was no light coming from the long houses along both sides of the street.

"What an odd place."

In the rain curtain, there were several calls of birds, and an unknown voice was faintly mixed in.

'It doesn't sound like any animal sound I've heard before. What could it be?' '

A flash of doubt flashed in Spyro's eyes, and he led the soldiers into the longhouse next door where a bonfire had already been lit.

……

"You rest, I will watch the night."

Bassomo said something, and then extinguished the surrounding candles. In the long house, only the crackling sound of the flames and the sound of rain falling outside the window were left.

I don't know how much time had passed, but Bassomo, who had his eyes slightly closed, suddenly opened them.

it's coming! !

The longhouse door kept shaking, then became quiet again in an instant.

high speed!

At this time, the Mist Crow warriors in the longhouse were awakened. They quickly drew their weapons and looked at the door warily, but at this time there were only the sounds of flames and rain in their ears.

"Let's go," Bartholomew said.

"What exactly is it?" a soldier asked.

"I don't know." Bartholomew returned to his original position, "Continue to rest."

Snoring could be heard from the longhouse again, and some soldiers were too excited to fall asleep.

About half a sand hour later, the door banged again, this time it only lasted for a short two or three breaths. When Bassomo opened the door to look, there was no one outside.

"I'm afraid I won't have to sleep tonight, Bartholomew. I'll keep an eye on the door." Sophia held the big ax and leaned against the door.

"Yeah." Bartholomew nodded.

He needs to see the whole house and is not suitable to guard the door.There is more than one entrance to the longhouse. It is possible to break through the chimney above or even directly break through the rotten wooden structure.

This time it took a little longer, about a sand clock passed, and there was another sound from the door.

The first time the sound came out, Sophia smashed the door with a big ax without hesitation, and a harsh cry of "goo" came to her ears. When she walked out of the door, she only saw a figure leaving. .

In the rain curtain, a sword light suddenly lit up, coming from Spyro's sword.

The monster was forced back in an instant, and from behind, Sophia's bloody ax slashed down again.

The monster lowered its body, dodged the axe, and fled behind Sophia in an instant while clinging to the ground. A large sword was reflected in its scarlet eye hole at the same time.

brush--

The monster had no time to react, and a long, narrow and bone-deep wound was cut on its back.

From several directions around, the fogcrow warriors in the longhouse had also surrounded them, completely surrounding the monster.

"What is this, is it a human being?"

"It looks like it, but it doesn't look like it."

The monster in everyone's sight was covered with black hair all over its body and face, and its appearance was similar to that of a human. Its body was not tall, only equivalent to the height of a young man, but its muscles were extremely developed.

gollum...

The monster lay on the ground, making a strange sound from its belly, and bared its sharp teeth toward the surrounding area.

The next moment, it suddenly jumped up and tried to jump over everyone's heads, but was directly pressed back by Bassomo who jumped up at the same time, and another wound appeared on its body.

"sucker Punch!"

The surrounding fogcrow warriors launched an attack together, and several ropes instantly tied the monster's limbs. Sophia hit the thing's neck with an ax handle, knocking it to the ground.

Countless blades followed closely, slashing at the monster, and blood spread to the entire street along with the rain.
