Chapter 86: Helping the Tiger and Slaughtering the Village

It was noon.

The early spring sun brings a hint of warmth, dispelling the coldness of many days.

The sunlight dappled through the dense forests of Shicheng Mountain.

As light and shadow interweave, a hint of solemnity and murderousness can be seen in the silence.

"Squeak..."

A slight sound of branches breaking was heard from deep in the dense forest, followed by a huge tiger with hanging eyes slowly walking out.

Its fur is a deep yellow with black markings, and its eyes sparkle with a lively light.

Wherever it passed, the wind was whistling.

"Sir, this way."

A faint voice sounded beside the tiger with dangling eyes.

It tilted its head slightly and spoke in human language: "How far is it from your village?"

As soon as the tiger with dangling eyes finished speaking, a figure quietly emerged behind it.

It was a thin, pale-faced ghost.

He was dressed like a hunter, his eyes were lifeless, yet revealed a strange red light.

The ghost bowed his head and responded respectfully: "My Lord, it is right ahead after passing through this dense forest."

"Okay, as long as you find me a hundred people, I will let you go."

The tiger demon's eyes flashed with brilliance, and his voice sounded low and majestic.

"It's all up to you, sir." The skinny ghost said expressionlessly.

The tiger demon nodded slightly, then took a step forward with steady tiger steps.

Its tail swayed gently, bringing up a gust of wind, and the leaves rustled.

The ghost followed closely behind, its ethereal figure following the tiger demon closely. From time to time, it raised its head and looked at the majestic back of the tiger demon, with an indescribable emotion flashing in its eyes.

Soon, they arrived at the entrance of Hongshanzhai.

The tiger demon with hanging eyes opened its mouth slightly, revealing an anthropomorphic smile.

"You really didn't lie to me, haha... It's just right that I can have a good meal here and improve my cultivation. I didn't expect that your flesh and blood could be so helpful to me."

The ghost said with a face that was neither happy nor sad: "It would be best if I could help you, sir."

"Okay, come with me to your village and take a look around. If it suits you, I will stay here for a while."

A hint of cruelty flashed in the tiger demon's eyes, and he quickened his pace towards Hongshan Village.

It stood in front of the village gate, paused slightly, took two steps back, and then rushed forward.

The gate of the village, which was not high to begin with, was useless in front of the big tiger with hanging eyes as big as an ox. It jumped in nimbly with just a light leap.

Da Hu with hanging eyes brought his minions into Hongshan Village.

It opened its bloody mouth and let out a deafening roar, and amid the roar, the ghost's figure became increasingly ethereal, as if it would disappear in the wind at any time.

"Roar!"

……

The Chen family had some conflicts with Shen Qing, but Shen Qing did not make things difficult for the rest of the Chen family and even took care of them.

But Chen Jinzhong and the others don't remember Shen Qing's kindness.

After all, they also have the surname Chen and are of the same bloodline.

It was impossible for them to remain indifferent when their fellow tribesmen were killed.

Besides, they didn't trust Shen Qing's words, and even blamed him for being too impulsive.

Just give whatever the tax collector asks.

If you paid enough money, you wouldn't have these troubles later.

In their eyes, this was Shen Qing's problem alone and had nothing to do with them.

Therefore, people with different ideals cannot work together.

When Shen Qing persuaded the villagers to go to the county town together, they refused to go no matter what, as it would only bring trouble to themselves.

On the contrary, it is best for him to live his own life and not interfere with other people's affairs.

In addition to the Chen family, there were four other small families who stayed behind. After Chen Jinzhong and others sent Shen Qing and the other villagers away, they walked around the village and gathered them together to discuss the next trivial matters.

For example, whether the walls of some villages should be repaired, whether the land in the mountains should be reclaimed, whether the stoves should be combined...

These are all related to the quality of their future life, so they have to pay attention to them.

Just as they gathered together and before the first word was uttered, they heard a tiger roar.

"what happened?"

Chen Jinzhong and everyone else looked panicked.

"Take the stuff and go out and take a look."

"it is good."

Chen Jinzhong was in the lead, picked up a hunting knife and walked out.

The others followed behind, all holding weapons to a greater or lesser extent.

Pushing open the door, a group of men making a living in the mountains walked out cautiously, looking around and asking around.

After most of the hunters in Hongshan Village moved out, the village seemed a little deserted.

It made everyone feel a little uncomfortable for a while, and they felt more and more scared.

"The roar just now seemed to come from the village entrance. No matter what it is, if seven or eight of us attack it together, we can kill it even if it is a tiger in the mountains."

Chen Jinzhong's greeting boosted morale.

However, before they had taken a few steps, after seeing the scene in front of them, they felt as if they had fallen into an ice cellar, as if they were under a spell of being immobilized, and could not move an inch.

A tiger as big as an ox was strolling leisurely in the village, with a ghost floating behind it, walking towards them step by step.

"Chen... Scallion..."

"Tiger……"

The tiger stopped and looked at these people and asked in surprise: "Didn't you say that there are more than 90 people in your village? How come there are only this few?"

"I... I don't know either." Chen Dacong, who had turned into a ghost, changed his expression, and his already pale face became even paler.

The tiger with hanging eyes looked unhappy: "Humph, then you can continue to stay in there."

It opened its mouth wide and swallowed the frightened ghost Chen Dacong in one gulp. It looked at Chen Jinzhong and others in front of it with a covetous look: "It's a little less, but just make do with it."

"Don't be afraid..."

Before Chen Jinzhong could finish his words, he was swept up by a gust of evil wind. Before he could understand what was happening, he was caught by the claws of the white tiger with hanging eyes and his spine was bitten off.

When the others saw this scene, they were so frightened that they panicked and ran away in all directions.

Unfortunately, in front of this terrifying monster, everything they did seemed in vain.

The tiger pounced forward, easily bit one of the men's shoulders and tore it apart.

The living person was torn into two.

The entrails and intestines were spilling out of it.

A hunter came to his senses, rushed into the house, hurriedly took out a hunting bow, drew the bow and shot an arrow.

The arrows that had been invincible in the past were now like children's toys. They were blocked by a gust of evil wind and hit the tiger's body without causing any harm.

"Roar!"

The tiger with hanging eyes roared and blew out a breath of scarlet wind, which rolled the hunter in front of it.

With one cut of the tail, his head was cut off directly.

The remaining people completely lost their fighting spirit in the face of such a tiger monster, and the scene turned into a one-sided massacre.

Holding farm tools, they tried to fight against the terrifying monster, but no matter how hard they ran or resisted, it was of no avail.

The power of the tiger demon was far beyond their imagination.

Even solid houses can be easily knocked down by it.

At this moment they regretted extremely that they did not leave with Shen Qing at noon and encountered such a disaster.

Unfortunately, there is no such thing.

With a final scream, the last villager left in Hongshan Village was killed by the tiger.

All the villagers died.
