Nightcrawler: 20 Years of Peaceful Demons

Chapter 438
From what we know, most of the people in the village are poor people. They don't want to harm others, and they don't intend to make things difficult for us. Poisoned.

It was also because of this that the fat woman was killed by the night walkers.

From this perspective, we are indeed obliged to rescue them from the flames.

After thinking about it, Captain Peng looked at the other two.

One is Teacher Zhang, and the other is Xie Ning.

He, together with these two women, constituted the highest decision-making level of the scientific expedition team.

Xie Ning obviously still had some scruples and hesitation, but Teacher Zhang was a soft-hearted person, and he nodded immediately. After a short discussion, they decided to keep some people here to watch the captured Ye Xing and the villagers here.

The other group of people went to the high hill behind the big tree to take a look.

It is said that there are still many captive children, women and children. Because of our arrival, those people were afraid of being exposed, so they were temporarily detained there.

In short, we have managed this matter.

During the division, Ma Yi'ao, Xie Ning, Teacher Zhang, Chen Jing and two other Tiger Squad fighters stayed here in different positions, while I followed Captain Peng, Tang Dao, and Teacher Zhang's doctoral student Huang Xue. , and the other two Tiger Squad fighters No. [-] and No. [-] went to the enemy's lair deep in the village to investigate.

Of course, we are only going to investigate and investigate the situation, not to storm the enemy's nest.

This is Captain Peng's assignment, and the young monk Mo Yan volunteered to accompany Captain Peng.

Captain Peng was a little worried about him, saying that it would be safer for you to stay here.

But the little monk Mo Yan smiled, and said, "Don't worry, I have learned a whole body of skills from my master. It is definitely not a burden, and it will not get in the way. In addition, if I really have any troubles, I will hand over the contents of this demon pestle to you." Donor Ma Yi'ao will take care of it, and he will take care of it on his behalf. After the matter is over, just return it to Xuefeng Temple, and nothing will be delayed."

After he said that, Captain Peng naturally had no objections.

He is a decisive and resolute person, and he shirks at this moment because he is worried that something will happen to the little monk, which will delay the subsequent itinerary, so after getting the guarantee from the little monk Mo Yan, he will not say more.

Then he made a simple arrangement to get the villagers together, and then had a brief conversation with Xie Ning and Mr. Zhang. Only then did Uncle Gega and another adult man named Meng Ning lead us towards the depths of the village. go.

Uncle Gega was reluctant at first, after all, his wife and children were still in the hands of those nightcrawlers.

But Captain Peng didn't allow him to back down at this moment, one was threats, the other was assurances, and made him submit in a few words.

As for the man next to him named Meng Ning, he did it voluntarily. His mother died at the hands of these night walkers, and he has an unforgettable hatred for the night walkers here.

Now the opportunity for revenge came, how could he miss it?
We have seen the overall appearance of this village on the cliff before, most of it is hidden in a large forest, only a few open spaces and fields are exposed.

Those houses are also mixed in the forest, at first glance, it looks like an elf village.

We can see the towering tree and the hill behind the tree, and the terrain is not complicated.

It's just that we are not sure whether there are night walkers lurking in this dark village, so we don't walk fast.

On the way, Uncle Gega told us the details of these night walkers.

In fact, under normal circumstances, these guys are similar to people, they are extremely good at disguising, and they basically don’t show any characteristics of nightcrawlers, so they can’t see their real appearance on weekdays, only to deter these captives. Only when they were mountain people did they reveal their truth.

Uncle Gega has seen seven or eight people, some are snow wolves, some are leopards, and some are extremely ugly bugs. In a word, they are all strange and different.

God knows how these guys got together.

And the leader of this group of people is called the White Lion King, also known as the "big king" in their mouths, but he has never seen it before, and he doesn't know whether he lives up to his name or is just a nickname.

In short, the guy is very fierce.

Captain Peng asked about the number of nightcrawlers here, Uncle Gega thought for a moment and said: "I can see about a dozen of them, but the number of them here is obviously more than that, because many of them never show up, but have seen them." Most of the people are basically dead..."

I listened by the side, summed up the information, and found that if this is the case, there may be quite a lot of opponents in the enemy's lair.

If it's just the small characters we met before, I believe we can handle it with our group of people, but I'm afraid that the "White Lion King" is too strong.

I can feel that Captain Peng is a powerful character who hides his secrets.

But if he can't deal with the White Lion King, then we are likely to be in trouble this time.

It was a fierce battle.

Thinking in my heart, I subconsciously groped for the gossip bag in my arms, and weighed the golden cudgel in my hand.

When this thing is not big, it is as thick as a finger. I hold it in my hand to prevent emergencies from happening at any time, so that I can pull out this stick suddenly to meet all challenges.

But having said that, although the road ahead is full of crises and uncertainties, my heart is full of inexplicable excitement.

After all, I have suffered a lot of grievances in the past few days. Although I have been comforting myself in my heart, I still hope that there will be one or two small characters who do not open their eyes to jump out and let me let go of the evil fire in my heart.

The little monk Mo Yan has been following me, looking at Hei Qu Qu's front, and said with a little panic: "Hou Mo Hou Mo, are you afraid?"

Although he was very curious and took the initiative to follow, but obviously he had never encountered such a scene.

I smiled and comforted him: "It's okay, this is just a small scene."

The little monk said: "This is still a small scene? What about the big scene?"

When he asked like this, I couldn't help but think of the scene when Qin Liluo and Huo Ergong got engaged, I stepped into the arena amidst the sound of Ma Yi'ao's suona. He said: "What happens in a while, you hide behind me, or find a place to hide."

The little monk was a little stubborn, why?I have practiced with my master and a group of uncles and uncles since I was a child, and I have learned a lot of skills.

I said, have you ever fought to the death with someone?

what?
The little monk was taken aback, what did you mean by "fighting and fighting to the death"?Does the opponent practice tricks?
I laughed at him and said with a smile: "No, no, no, what I'm talking about is the kind that divides life and death, that is to say——killing someone, have you ever done it?"

Hearing this, the little monk shook his head quickly, his head was like a small rattle: "No, no, no, monks have compassion in mind, and don't kill indiscriminately."

I said subduing demons and eliminating demons is not enough?
The little monk said: "What Buddhism pays attention to is saving life, and it is also life. As long as you are willing to repent, you have to give them a chance."

When I saw this pedantic and cute little monk, I smiled and said that this is what you said, "put down the butcher knife and become a Buddha immediately"?
The little monk said that it can't be so absolute, but generally... yes.

I just smiled and didn't speak.

This naive and pedantic little monk reminds me of the Master Sanzang in Journey to the West.

Ma Yi'ao, a guy with a golden cicada physique, doesn't look like Tang Seng's brother.

Talking like this, we have almost reached more than 400 meters, passed through the dark tree-lined path, and came to a flat land.

And at the end of this piece of flat land is the towering tree that needs to be surrounded by more than a dozen people - the big tree is a bit like a banyan tree with luxuriant branches and leaves, and it also looks like an oak tree. What kind of tree it is, no one knows.

I always feel that this tree is very strange, not like the species that should appear in the northwest mountainous area.

And that piece of flat land is not empty, there are actually many remains of stone buildings on it, and there is even a pavilion made of jade with carved railings, stretching away.

Huang Xueer, a doctoral student of Mr. Zhang, went crazy when he saw this. He walked forward quickly, stroked the relics that had been preserved for an unknown number of years, and exclaimed: "My God, this is the legendary Is it Yaochi?"

Captain Peng looked at the six roads and listened to all directions, sizing up the movement around him, and then said: "What fairyland?"

Huang Xueer said: "The Yaochi of the Queen Mother of the West, look at the pond over there, the statues and stone carvings on it are exactly the same as those described in the classics, there, and there... Oh, wait, no, no, this should be It's just an imitation..."

He was probably poisoned, muttering crazily by himself, the small eyes under the thick glasses radiated a sharp light.

Compared to Huang Xueer, who was immersed in professional discovery, the others were much more cautious. Tiger Squad's No. [-] and No. [-] took the lead, holding guns, while Captain Peng escorted Uncle Gega and Meng Ning, He greeted him and said, "Don't look at this yet, let's move on, pay attention to the layout ahead, don't make people feel bad."

Huang Xueer nodded and said yes.

He adjusted his glasses and kept up with the team. The group of people crossed the ruins and came to the towering tree tens of feet high. They walked around and saw the green grass on the hill ahead, and then walked forward. , went up a slope, suddenly made a turning point, and saw a deep pit not far away.

But under the pit, there are many crowded heads, crying.

This should be the place where women and children are detained, but what about the guards?

I squinted my eyes, looked around, and took precautions, while the two soldiers were groping towards the edge of the deep pit over there. Captain Peng stepped forward, and suddenly, he straightened his back and shouted in a low voice: "Retreat , back, back..."

Before he could finish speaking, suddenly a rope was wrapped around No. [-]'s neck, pulling him suddenly into the pit.

As for the other soldier, he stepped back subconsciously, but was pierced by an arrow shot from the darkness, nailing him to the ground.
