Zhulou: There was an error in the previous chapter. The base camp of the beast soldiers is Binguo, not Liangguo. I would like to correct it and apologize to everyone!
…
The group went down the mountain and returned to Jiashan Village.
As soon as they entered the village, someone rushed to inform the old village chief.
"How are the heroes doing?"
The old village chief, supported by his daughter-in-law Xiujuan, walked out tremblingly, his face full of anticipation.
The success or failure of Zhang Ze and others are related to the future of the village.
If the beast soldiers are not wiped out, he must consider leading the entire village to move to a safer place.
Although he hasn't decided where to go yet, he certainly can't stay in the village.
"Old man, don't worry, we have wiped out all the beast soldiers."
The old village chief was overjoyed by the news about the giant god, and other villagers were also excited. They no longer had to leave their hometowns.
"However, the problem of the beast soldiers has not been completely solved."
Yiye Zhiqiu told the old village chief about the murals they saw in the cave, and said: "Next, we plan to go to Hama Country to explore the secret of the Beast God and the door we are looking for."
"Hamakuni..."
The old village chief hesitated to speak, but finally persuaded: "Although I know that the heroes may not be willing to listen to my words, but... Binguo cannot go!"
"Oh why?"
Zhang Ze asked curiously.
"To be honest, when I was young, I joined the army of Liang Kingdom to fight. Our team entered the territory of Bin Kingdom, and then I saw..."
The old village chief seemed unwilling to recall that past event. He spoke hesitantly and kept wiping the cold sweat from his forehead.
The Dragon King was upset when he heard this and asked impatiently: "What on earth did you see? Come on, tell me, I'm so anxious!"
The giant god pulled the dragon king and asked him to pay attention to his etiquette.
The old village chief sighed and said, "We captured a city, and then we saw a big tree, but it wasn't a big tree. I really can't describe what it is."
"On the branches of that big tree, there are countless babies hanging! Their umbilical cords are connected to the big tree, just like the fruits produced by the big tree!"
"We were very surprised at the time. The general ordered us to ignore the big tree and continue to search the city to find the Hamakuni people."
"But we searched the entire city and didn't see a single person! Later, the general ordered us to set fire to the big tree..."
At this point, cold sweat began to flow from the old village chief's forehead again, and his hands and feet kept shaking. It was obvious that he was extremely frightened.
"When the big tree started to burn, the babies hanging on the branches all cried out, and the sound was extremely sad."
"The crying gave us a splitting headache. It was no use covering our ears. Then, some people's heads began to swell!"
He gestured with his hands to describe the scene: "It was like a sheepskin water bag filled with too much water. It swelled bigger and bigger, and finally exploded with a loud bang!"
The old village chief's eyes showed extreme fear: "This situation started to spread like a plague. I saw more and more people getting headshots in front of me, and they were getting closer and closer to me. I turned around and ran away!"
"A few other brothers fled with me. We ran out of the city desperately. Finally, we could no longer hear the cry of the baby, and our heads no longer hurt. But... the more than 10,000 people who entered the city with us before could no longer Didn’t come out!”
The old village chief almost exhausted all his strength to tell this horrifying past incident, and the faces of everyone present became as white as a piece of paper.
"It's a baby again, I hate babies!" Little Princess Qian felt a chill running down her spine, "In horror movies, there are always babies!"
Zhang Ze pinched his chin and thought to himself: "Obviously, these babies are conceived by big trees. So, what exactly is a big tree? Is it...a beast god?"
The giant god asked Chu Lan: "Miss Chu Lan, have you heard of these things?"
"No." Chu Lan shook his head: "Binguo has always been a very mysterious country. It neither trades nor welcomes outsiders. There are even people who have never come back after entering, so everything about Binguo is a mystery. .”
"This Binguo is so evil, brother, I'm a little scared!" Zhang Feng grabbed Zhang Ze's arm with fear on his face.
Zhang Ze touched his sister's hair and comforted him: "In order to find the door, we must go to Binguo to take a look. Brother will protect you and everything will be fine."
"However, if we go, we must be fully prepared. I have a hunch that this will be an extremely dangerous journey."
Everyone rested for a day in Jiashan Village and then prepared to go to the county seat.
If they want to go to Binguo, they need the county magistrate to issue a road guide for them, otherwise the border guards will not let them go.
Seeing that Zhang Ze and others still decided to go to Binguo, the old village chief could only let out a sigh and asked his son and wife to prepare a good meal to see them off.
After having enough wine and food, Jushen, Zhang Ze and others set off for the county seat under the watch of hundreds of people in Jiashan Village.
Chu Lan said: "I passed by the county when I came here. Because the county magistrate was afraid of the beast soldiers attacking the city, it was only open for an hour every day, and the inspection was very strict."
She looked at Ju Shen, Zhang Ze and others: "Sir strangers, you only need to take out the identity cards given to you by the old village chief of Jiashan Village, and you can enter the city."
The group of people came to the outside of the county town and saw that just like Jiashan Village, there were also defensive facilities such as horses and shields arranged outside the county town, and they were more numerous and stronger.
Several guards were hiding in the defense base, observing the situation outside through the small window. Everyone who wanted to enter the city had to drink a bowl of turbid wine, even children.
In order to enter the city, everyone had to do as the Romans do and drink one after another.
"Bah, bah, bah!"
After drinking, Xiaoniao Yiren spit out her bright red tongue and complained: "I thought the wine in Jiashan Village was bad enough, but I didn't expect that the wine here is even worse!"
Tian Tian said with a melancholy smile: "Maybe the county magistrate is also trying to save costs? Otherwise, with so many people coming in and out of the county every day, how much wine should he prepare to drink."
Finally, they entered the city and after asking around, they found the county government office. However, the government officials at the door prohibited them from entering, saying that the county magistrate was unwell and would not see any guests today.
Everyone was a little embarrassed and had to withdraw, preparing to find a place to rest first and come back tomorrow.
At this time, a carriage stopped at the gate of the county government office, and a man in brocade clothes walked out of it. Seeing this, the county government office came forward enthusiastically: "Master Zhang, please come in quickly. The county magistrate has been waiting for you for a long time."
Then, he took the man in brocade clothes and walked in.
"Damn it! Why can he get in but we can't?"
The Dragon King immediately became angry: "What a double standard!"
"It's normal. After all, they are rich people, and we are just ordinary people." Shandao Bubu shrugged his shoulders, as if he was not surprised.
"Hmph, it seems that the county magistrate is not sick, but he doesn't want to see us."
Zhang Ze sneered and said, "Then let's go in and see him in person!"
