mysterious forerunner

Chapter 179 Identity Reversal

This family can only be considered "middle class" in the village. There are two large tile-roofed houses and three adobe houses.

Of the two large tile-roofed houses, yours is the larger one with a tall chimney.

There were still dozens of meters away, so Zhang Qingxiang pulled Shi Fangjie away from him, and then Zhang Qingxiang took out the little bug.

Before coming in, he asked Ye Yousheng to come.

There is no need for Ye Yousheng to stay outside.

Zhang Qingxiang flicked his fingers, and the little bug flew dozens of meters, landed at the base of the wall, and then found a gap to get in.

Zhang Qing waited patiently.

The secret insect has a strong physique and can be called the king of insects... but it is still a bug. It can spread its wings and glide for a while, but it can't fly all the way yet.

The insect flew and climbed, checking the yard walls and house walls, but found no "ghost traces" as Shi Fangjie said.

The bug crawled to the door. On the left was the chimney room and on the right was the main room.

If there is an ancestor in this family who made a peerless sword, according to experience, he should be in the main room.

Zhang Qingxiang hesitated for a moment, then directed the insect to climb into the large tiled house on the left.

It was steaming inside, and there was an evil aura that disgusted even the secret insects.

A shirtless villager used pliers to take out a red-hot iron bar from the stove. The other two villagers were banging on it, murmuring: "It will definitely work this time!"

"It has to happen! Otherwise we will have to sacrifice ourselves!"

There were five "materials" they captured, two men, two women, and a little boy. They were all tied to one side, and the little boy's voice was already hoarse from crying.

There was a villager guarding them with a sword in his hand, his eyes straight and full of madness without any emotion.

What was even more creepy was that he kept staring at the little boy and drooled unknowingly!

As soon as the bug came in, it crawled a certain distance, and then flew onto a wooden box. Zhang Qingxiang borrowed the bug's vision and immediately saw a long human-shaped trace emerging on the stove.

It's dark and blurry, and if you don't look carefully, it's easy to ignore it.

"Ding Ding Ding-"

Under the hammering of sledgehammers and small hammers, the iron bars soon took the shape of swords. The villagers looked at the five people, and the watcher immediately said: "The child was left to the end. I haven't eaten meat for a long time."

The others nodded and picked out the strongest man.

The man was so frightened that he lost control of his bowels and had no idea of ​​resistance. He could only cry: "Please spare me, please choose them, they are better than me..."

Zhang Qingxiang pulled Shi Fangjie: "Help!"

Zhang Qingxiang jumped into the air, like an eagle gliding into the courtyard. The [Tiger General's Spear] in his hand pointed forward, blasting the door of the stove house into pieces with a bang, and he went in with a rage.

Zhang Qingxiang didn't even look at the stove. It seemed that he came simply to save people, but in fact, most of Zhang Qingxiang's attention was focused on the stove.

Sure enough, he broke down the door and rushed in. The ghost traces were gone!
Shi Fangjie also followed, and the villagers turned into wolves in anger, and the ancestor hidden in the main house also took action. But in front of the two of them, it was only a little difficult, and the battle was resolved in a few minutes.

Zhang Qingxiang settled these people and rushed to the next house without stopping.

Shi Fangjie asked: "Team leader, don't you gather them together? If there are many people, they can hold weapons and resist other villagers when they encounter them."

Zhang Qingxiang shook his head slowly, with a solemn expression: "This scene is extraordinary. I always feel that there are still variables..."

"variable?"

Zhang Qingxiang did not explain in detail: "Let them spread out so that if there is any accident, they will not be caught in one fell swoop.

After all, we don't have the extra energy to protect them now.

And if something unexpected happens, they are scattered everywhere, each with their own opportunities. Maybe a few professionals will be born among them, and we will have help. "

Shi Fangjie nodded, what the team leader said made sense.

At this time, the red light emanating from under the earth suddenly faded, the road ahead immediately became dark, and the few houses that could be seen clearly were all invisible.

Shi Fangjie held his saber tightly and looked around: "What's going on?"

Zhang Qingxiang held him back. If there was a sudden strange attack, "No. 010" could protect both of them at the same time.

This sudden darkness came quickly, and in just a few dozen seconds, the red light in the ground completely disappeared.

The entire mysterious scene fell into complete darkness, and it was truly invisible.

The two couldn't help but feel nervous. Zhang Qingxiang released [Tian Ting], and Shi Fangjie tried his best to prick up his ears and catch any slightest movement around him.

Suddenly, there was a rumbling vibration in the distance, the sound echoed endlessly, and the ground beneath my feet was shaking!

"Team leader..." Shi Fangjie lost his voice. Zhang Qingxiang hissed and said softly: "The mountain is moving!"

Shi Fangjie's palms were sweating nervously, fearing that the mountain would suddenly turn into a giant python and roll over him. He would be completely helpless when he couldn't see anything.

However, the loud noise and vibration continued, but there was no sign of approaching.

It lasted for more than ten minutes, Shi Fangjie's whole body was drenched in cold sweat, but these shocking movements suddenly disappeared.

It was still dark and dead.

Just when Shi Fangjie was at a loss, suddenly a dim yellow light pierced all the darkness!
The light emitted from the mountain quickly became intense and illuminated the entire land. A dim sun rose in the mountains.

It's the same sun, still that lifeless light.

The moment the first dim yellow light appeared, Zhang Qingxiang seemed to see the shadow of a giant sword thrust diagonally into the mountain, which was taller than the peak of the mountain.

The sword has a broad blade and a simple shape, but as the sun rises, the shadow of the giant sword slowly fades and disappears.

Shi Fangjie said excitedly: "That's the sword! Team leader, have you seen it..."

"I saw it." Zhang Qingxiang frowned: "Don't you find it strange that the sun disappeared from the mountains [yesterday] and rose from the mountains again [today]?"

Shi Fangjie was startled for a moment: "Yes, it's so strange!"

The sun set in the mountains [yesterday], but it should have risen in the opposite direction [today].

Everything in the mysterious scene cannot be measured by "common sense".

There was a sudden fluctuation in Zhang Qingxiang's [Tian Ting]. He immediately pulled Shi Fangjie and ducked into the grass on the roadside.

Shi Fangjie was also very vigilant and immediately lowered himself silently while the two of them looked out through the grass.

The gate to the courtyard in front opened, and a villager walked out, carrying a bucket to fetch water.

However, the next moment, the courtyard door at the back also opened, and several people rushed out with wooden sticks and swords, shouting fiercely: "We must find suitable materials today!"

"The mountain god will not give us another day."

"If we can't make a perfect sword, we can only sacrifice ourselves to the mountain god first..."

Shi Fangjie's eyes widened suddenly: The face in the backyard was the last family that he and the team leader saved [last night].

These people were not the villagers they killed, but the hostages they rescued!

Among them was the little boy, holding a short sword tightly in his hand. The look in his eyes was completely different from before, but more like that... villager who wanted to eat meat!

Zhang Qingxiang murmured in his heart: The accident has really happened.

The villagers carrying water met these people and glared at each other fiercely: "Don't even try to steal our materials!"

"You should stay away from my materials! If you dare to come over, break your dog legs!"

Zhang Qingxiang and Shi Fangjie did not take action rashly. After they all left, Zhang Qingxiang made a gesture to Shi Fangjie: "Go back and take a look at the situation."

Zhang Qingxiang rescued more than thirty people in total, and the two of them turned around and looked at them one by one.

All the rescued hostages turned into "villagers" after the sun rose.

"Those who have not been rescued are still hostages and have not turned into monsters?" Shi Fangjie felt a little confused: "We saved people, but harmed them instead?"

"But why didn't the two of us become [villagers]?"

Zhang Qingxiang shook his head. If he hadn't rescued them, these hostages would have been sacrificed to make swords, and they would die faster.

The two of them walked back to more than 20 places, and everything was like this.

Zhang Qingxiang sighed secretly: "There is no need to leave anymore." He made a decision: "Let's go into the mountain and find the so-called mountain god!"

Just as the two of them turned around, an angry voice suddenly sounded from the yard next to them: "What's wrong with you?!"

Then several crazy voices shouted: "Good material!"

"Hold on, don't let him escape!"

There was a sound of fighting, and it didn't last long before it became quiet. Then the courtyard door opened, and a man hid his sword behind his elbow and came out proudly.

When both parties met, they both recognized each other.

"It's you."

This family is an ordinary family in the village, and there is no ancestor in the family who has perfected the sword.

Zhang Qingxiang was very relaxed when rescuing people [last night], and also told the four hostages not to run around.

Unexpectedly, one of them actually took office.

"Professors do not need to be converted into villagers."

The other party was quite tall and strong, with a beard on his face. He looked like an ancient chivalrous man, drinking and drinking.

Zhang Qingxiang had an impression on him because after saving them yesterday, this person had strongly requested to follow Zhang Qingxiang and thought he could help.

He is a patient in the hospital and his name is Ma Manluo. According to his self-report, he is a fan of "full-armor fighting" and has traveled abroad to participate in many competitions.

And he quit his job for his hobby and made a living by making armor.

This time it was a domestic exchange match. I was injured accidentally and was admitted to the hospital. However, I have recovered from the injury and am ready to be discharged.

He felt that he had rich fighting experience and his strength was far superior to ordinary people.

But Zhang Qingxiang still rejected him. Mystery is very different from ordinary people. His combat experience with ordinary people not only does not help, but may form shackles on his thinking and harm him.

Shi Fangjie glanced into the yard, and Ma Manluo said proudly: "No need to look, it's all solved."
