The people of the countryside were not cultured to begin with, and did not have much ability to resist disasters. Because of the difficulties they faced in life, they had a strong reverence for everything, even the ghosts that attacked and harmed them.
There were powerful ghosts near the nameless village, and after a long time, the villagers called him the 'King of the Mountain Patrol'. Every time the 'King of the Mountain Patrol' appeared, they would throw out the women, children, old, and weak in the village as offerings. This had even become a tacit system, and when the villagers were unable to resist, they could only endure in silence.
But today, the transmigrators had actually killed the 'King of the Mountain Patrol's' water ghost. Not only did the villagers not feel happy, but they felt great fear. The village chief, the 'little old man', thought that this would inevitably anger the 'King of the Mountain Patrol' and bring a great disaster to the village. That night, he urgently mobilized forty to fifty subordinates to seek an explanation from the foreign 'masters'.
The transmigrators were too peaceful — they spoke politely, traded fairly, and treated them with courtesy. To a certain extent, they were considered easy targets to bully. When the village chief, the 'little old man', led his team out, he thought that perhaps by scaring them with these people, they would be able to squeeze more benefits out of them.
If it was a face-to-face fight, the twelve transmigrators were actually not afraid of the motley crew. Old Man Gu had calculated that their physical fitness and discipline were far stronger than their opponents. Although the wooden spears in their hands were hastily made, they were completely capable of stabbing those unprotected villagers to death — among the villagers, the 1.6 meters tall ones were considered tall, but the shortest among the transmigrators, Xu Li, was 1.65 meters tall.
Unexpectedly, the one that appeared in the night was not some slow-moving zombie that was easy to bully, but a large and powerful water ghost. Its strong corpse odor knocked out five of them at once. This time, they did not have enough manpower, and they could not kill their way out and be defeated one by one. Other than retreating and defending, they had no other choice.
As soon as the transmigrators retreated, the villagers immediately turned into thugs, threatening them one after another. Other than sending Guo Jiaming out to stall for time, Old Man Gu could only organize the rest of the people to prepare to break out. But would they succeed? Where would they go after breaking out? Only the Heavens knew.
At the last moment, Zhou Qingfeng returned from the Time Island.
"Zhao Ze, your crossbow."
"Tong Tong, your electric horn."
"I suddenly thought of something good. I'll be back soon."
Through the space-time black hole, Zhou Qingfeng brought two pieces of equipment and returned to the Space-Time Oasis. Zhao Ze took the Pulley Crossbow and immediately climbed up to the roof of the woodshed. Outside the woodshed, Guo Jiaming could no longer hold on. Donning the loudspeaker, Tong Chi swiftly pulled open the firewood blocking the door and placed Guo Jiaming inside. He roared at the villager thugs who were about to rush in.
"How dare you!"
These are the loudspeakers used by the peddlers. Everyone, please take a look. With such a thing on one street, the whole street could be noisy to death. His croaking could be heard through the windows and walls. Domestic manufacturers were also deeply afraid that it would not be easy to sell due to its low power output. If the volume was turned up to the maximum, it could really deafen people.
The villager thugs, who were about to charge in, felt as if they had run into a wall of sound. The angry shout made their ears ring, and their hearts were filled with bewilderment. Their high morale melted like snow in spring. When the black shadows saw the light, they disappeared in the blink of an eye.
While the villager thugs were in a panic, Gu Qianshan led the remaining people to launch a surprise attack with their spears. They stabbed wildly from both sides of the wooden door. After a few stabs, someone screamed miserably and staggered to the ground. The momentum of the attacking and defending sides was reversed. The villagers, who did not know what was going on, hurriedly retreated, while the fearless Tong Chi walked out and roared angrily again.
"You fools from the mountain villages, you are seeking your own death! This Immortal Lord sympathizes with your difficult life and understands. Today, I came here to kill the Demonic Ghost and protect the people. Not only are you not grateful, but you are also looking for trouble. Are you trying to bully me for being too kind?
Who is it? Who instigated this attack? Today, I will use my celestial powers to teach you ungrateful fools a lesson. Who is the leader? Why don't you come out now? I don't need to be threatened, but I must kill the leader. If you don't speak, all of you will die. "
Every word was like rolling thunder and the angry roars of tens of thousands of people. The mountain villagers had never seen such a thing before. They were instantly frightened and fled in panic. Some whose legs were already weak knelt on the ground and kowtowed, crying and begging for mercy. When Tong Chi asked who was the leader, the villagers immediately looked left and right, looking for the figure of their village chief.
As the village chief, the 'little old man' did not run far. He himself was dumbfounded and did not know what to do. The situation was reversed in an instant. Anyone would be stunned. In his opinion, someone who could make such a loud noise must be an immortal's skill, and he was definitely not a match. Although it was not easy to understand the words of the culprit, it was still easy to understand when it came to 'killing the mastermind'.
"High Immortal, High Immortal, don't kill me, don't kill me. I know my mistake. Please spare my life, High Immortal. "The 'little old man' knelt on the ground and cried so hard that he wet his pants. The villagers around him did not dare to get close to him and all avoided him.
Although the enemy had surrendered, Tong Chi was determined to show his power. He, who was at the bottom of society, knew all too well what kind of people these small leaders were. Swearing and swearing were like farts to them. It was better to get rid of them.
"Greedy, despicable, deceiving people with lies, what's the use of keeping you? It's too late to beg for mercy now. Watch my Lightning Palm. " Tong Chi purposely shouted to intimidate people. At the same time, he stretched out his palm and made a pose towards the kneeling 'little old man'. This was considered as using the 'Lightning Palm'. But there was no reaction for a long time.
Tong Chi turned off the loudspeaker and turned his head to the roof of the woodshed and whispered: "Hurry up, can't you see I've already made a pose?"
On the roof of the woodshed, Zhao Ze asked: "Are you really going to kill him?"
"How can I show my power if I don't kill him? Are you watching a show? "Tong Chi was anxious." Hurry up. "
The kneeling 'little old man' was scared out of his wits when he heard the 'High Immortal' actually sentence him to death. But at the moment of life and death, he heard the conversation between Tong Chi and Zhao Ze. He suddenly straightened his body and shouted: "We've been tricked, he didn't …"
With a swoosh, a crossbow arrow shot out in the dark night and easily penetrated the chest of the 'little old man'. The power of the crossbow that Zhao Ze made himself was not weak. The crossbow arrow penetrated the target's body and nailed him to the ground, completely sealing off the latter half of the sentence.
In the dark night, Tong Chi's loudspeaker had already shocked the scene. Even if some of the villagers who were close enough to notice that something was wrong, they were so frightened by the death in front of them that they did not dare to say anything. One by one, they knelt on the ground and kowtowed as if they were pounding garlic.
Seeing that no one dared to resist anymore, Tong Chi finally heaved a sigh of relief. As the night wind blew, he felt his back was wet and cold. His skin and flesh trembled and his heart beat wildly, but he was also extremely happy. Looking at the villagers who were kowtowing under the light of the bonfire, he really felt comfortable as if he was the ruler of the world.
"Kill their leader and take in the rest. Good, very good. Old Taoist, you did a good job. "Gu Qianshan also walked out of the woodshed and couldn't help but praise. After the danger, everyone felt tired, but it was still good to be filled with a sense of accomplishment. "We have to watch over these captives in front of us and order them to tie each other up. We can control this village tonight."
"Hahaha …" Everyone laughed loudly. Even Xu Li, who had fainted from the stench of the corpses, woke up at this time. After learning about the danger and how to deal with it, she was both afraid and happy.
"Everyone, come to this Deity. You are now blessed with great life and great fortune. From now on, follow this Deity, and good days will come. " Tong Chi turned on the loudspeaker again, not forgetting to comfort the captives through propaganda. "This Deity has boundless magical power and remarkable abilities. I can turn stone into gold and cast beans into soldiers. All of you should listen to me obediently, or else I will kill you without mercy. "
The villagers who were kneeling on the ground gathered together timidly. They did not form a line, nor did they form a line. They only knew how to surround Tong Chi. Gu Qianshan led the transmigrators and used his spear to beat the villagers with all his might. Only then did they manage to line up and count the number of people. After counting, they realized that the number of people had decreased. After asking around, they found out that some of the villagers were so frightened by Tong Chi that they directly fled far away and hid in the forest around the village.
"Ignore those people. The night is cold and the sky is dark. They have nowhere to go. They will be back tomorrow morning," Gu Qianshan said with certainty. "It will be easier for us to control them if there are fewer people, but it will be troublesome if there are more."
After a tiring day, the transmigrators were actually extremely tired. They had rested for a while in the afternoon, and their spirits had been highly strained. However, the good situation before them still drove them to continue working hard. Controlling a village was the best start for the entire transmigration business.
It was just that in this world, the road to happiness was strewn with setbacks …
Gu Qianshan and the others were busy gathering the villagers who had given up resisting. Suddenly, they heard an extremely tragic cry coming from the forest in the night. After a while, some of the villagers who had just fled ran back quickly from the dark night. As they ran, they shouted, "The King of Mountain Patrol is here. The King is angry."
The sound came from the opposite side of the river next to the village. Among the fleeing cries, there was a series of roars that sounded like that of a raging bull. This sound was even more threatening than Tong Chi's loudspeaker. Even the transmigrators were shocked when they heard it.
"Retreat into the village. Everyone, retreat into the village." Gu Qianshan used the bonfires that were lit everywhere on his side to vaguely see a huge figure on the other side of the woodshed across the river. The other party was wading through the water and moving in the direction of the village. "Hurry, don't hesitate."
It was only a few dozen meters from the woodshed to the village. Everyone ran and escaped into the village in a matter of minutes. The 'little old man' who was originally in control of the village had been shot dead. The responsibility of protecting the village fell on the transmigrators.
"Damn it. Why are there monsters coming one after another tonight? We finally have a place to settle down. Are we going to have so many disasters? "Tong Chi had already stood on top of the village's fence and stared at the monster's figure.
Zhao Ze raised his crossbow and aimed it forward. He aimed at the huge black monster and said, "That thing is at least three meters tall. It's too sturdy. It's hard to kill such a huge thing unless it's shot at a vital point. "
The huge monster had already walked to the side of the woodshed. The light from the bonfires illuminated its body. After the transmigrators saw it clearly, they all felt their scalps go numb. It was a thick and fat humanoid monster. It had a smooth head and ferocious eyes. When it opened its mouth, rows of sharp teeth could be seen. Its facial expression was like that of a bloodthirsty butcher.
Its upper body was naked. A piece of animal skin hung from its waist. Its limbs were strong and its bones were well-developed. It looked extremely powerful. When it walked, the ground trembled. When it roared angrily, its chest hurt.
"This is the f * cking king of mountain patrols?" The transmigrators looked at each other. "What can we use to deal with this huge thing?"
The electric horn that everyone ate? Its roar was even louder than the electric horn.
Zhao Ze's crossbow? Shooting it was probably like pricking it with a needle. Other than infuriating the other party, it was useless.
The king of mountain patrols walked past the river and saw the water ghost that had been stabbed to death by a wooden spear. It roared a few more times and stepped on the water ghost's corpse. It was as if it had stepped on a pile of rotten meat. The black corpse pieces flew more than ten meters away. And then it saw the corpse of the 'little old man' that had been shot to death. Its thick and strong arm casually scooped it up and stuffed it into its mouth. Its steel teeth crunched and it swallowed it.
This horrifying scene of being swallowed alive scared the villagers in the village so much that they covered their heads and scurried away. No one dared to stand on the fence and resist. They either hid in the cellars of their houses or climbed over the walls to escape from the other side of the village. Only Gu Qianshan and the others held their breaths in fear. It was as if they were afraid that the slightest movement would provoke the other party.
"What should we do?"
"I don't know."
"Either we run away or we run away."
"Are we going to give up the village that we took so much effort to occupy just like that?"
"At least it's better than feeding this huge monster."
It was obvious that the king of mountain patrols was not satisfied with eating a human corpse. When it walked past the firewood hut, it casually struck it. Its thick and strong arm smashed the flimsy firewood hut into pieces, causing it to collapse. However, the king of mountain patrols did not seem to care at all. He strode forward with his thick legs and walked towards the village.
Xu Li, who was standing on top of the village's wall, clattered her teeth when she saw the monster's attitude. She pulled on Gu Qianshan's arm and said, "Old man, let's run away. This thing is even more powerful than that water ghost."
