"How dare you, boy!"
"The Dragon King calms down, the Dragon King calms down!"
"The Dragon King is angry! If the crops are not harvested, how will they survive the cold winter?"
Under the stands, men, women, old and young had different expressions, ranging from sadness to suffering. The bolder ones cursed angrily at Ning'an, while the timid ones had already fled the sacrifice venue, for fear of the Dragon King's wrath.
Ning An turned around and took a step forward.
"scare!"
People fled in all directions, not having the courage to yell and curse.
The sun fell into the river, and a trace of mist rose. The mist gathered towards the stands, making it difficult for people to see clearly the face of the old man in red.
This frightened the little girl. With the help of her desire to survive, she actually broke free from the coarse cloth in her mouth and cried loudly.
Ning An's eyes flashed with red light, and as the sky fire circulated, his vision suddenly became brighter.
I saw the old man on the high platform bent down, holding the murder weapon, and moved stiffly to the girl, making a ready posture, as if he was about to chop off her head in the next second.
call--
Ning An took a deep breath, picked up the chair and threw it at the old man. At the same time, he dodged and dragged his broad knife straight towards the Dragon King statue.
The old man's stiff face twitched, with a slightly surprised expression, as if he didn't expect that the guy who stood up for the girl one second would not care about the girl's life or death the next second, and just threw a chair over.
The long knife knocked off the chair. The old man took a closer look and saw that Ning An had rushed to the audience.
Saving people is just a pretense, his target is the Dragon King statue on the stage!
Flames shot up into the sky, intending to force the old man back to the Dragon-proof King Statue, but unexpectedly the skinny old man burst out with astonishing willpower and refused to dodge, and the flames immediately devoured his body.
Even the little girl who had just been tied up broke free instantly and threw herself ferociously towards the Dragon King statue, using her body to resist the erosion of the flames.
Ning An frowned and secretly thought that there was indeed something wrong with these villagers. He turned back slightly, and the villagers fled in all directions, leaving only a few standing in the distance watching the excitement, feeling relieved.
Ning An immediately made a decision to capture one big and one small and ask them clearly.
The sky fire burned away the old man's hair, and the remaining flames clung to all parts of his body, but the old man seemed to feel no pain, raised his long knife high, and slashed towards Ning'an.
Ning An raised his eyebrows. The old man looked so fierce. Why was the knife so soft? He was thinking in his mind, but his hands were faster. After Hengdao parried, he caught the old man in the middle and kicked him over.
The old man was kicked hard, his eyes almost popped out, his whole body was twitching, and he looked like he was about to die.
Ning An picked up the fallen long knife, chopped off his hands and feet, jumped on the stage and subdued the little girl. The little girl who had not yet escaped was tied up again in the blink of an eye.
I clearly entered the illusion for nothing. I am afraid there is not a single living person in this village. They are just accompanying you to perform a painful trick. Do you still take it seriously? Ning An curled his lips and stepped on the old man's head, "Old man, please explain?"
The old man turned a deaf ear and just grinned and roared at Ning An.
Ning An frowned and looked at the girl next to him with the same look.
You could still communicate before the conflict broke out, but now you're acting like a zombie?
Ning An raised the broadsword and was about to kill the two of them. Suddenly, the Dragon King that was thrown aside began to buzz and shake, and a golden light shot into the top of the old man's head. The old man suddenly trembled as if having an epilepsy.
Ning'an had a flash of inspiration and realized that there was something wrong with the broken statue. He was also afraid that the old man would have some strange powers later, which would increase the risk of death, so he immediately cut off his head with a knife and threw the body into the river.
Without hesitation, the sword hit the Dragon King statue hard.
Boom! !
hiss--
The sound of the collision of iron and stone was intertwined with the horrifying screams. Most of the golden color of the statue faded away, revealing a little dimness. Ning'an looked back and saw the Jade Rabbit, Golden Crow and Green Ming. The shadow of the surging river showed the reflection of the modern city. The villagers in the distance fell to the ground and screamed. The girl held her head in her hands, with fishy saliva hanging from the corners of her mouth.
With one strike, the illusion becomes unstable!
This statue is the key!
Just when he was about to take another stab—
"Wait a minute! Wait a minute!"
Ning An was startled. The girl behind him knelt on the ground at some point and kowtowed to Ning An.
"Young hero, you and I have no grievances, why do you want to put me to death! If you have overstepped your bounds, please make it clear... Young hero, can you spare my life?!"
"Are you...Dragon King?"
"Don't dare to take it! Don't dare to take it!"
The little girl timidly raised her head and cried: "I was originally a little snake. I once went out to look for food, and rushed into the cave with the prey. Who knew it was a tomb? It looked a little old. Three steps of the night pearl, nine steps Standing among the terracotta warriors, the side room is bright, and the main room is dedicated to the gods, which is very impressive! I ate the prey, but I was trapped inside. I couldn't find the small hole I came from, and I starved to death!"
"Before I died, I climbed on the head of the Dragon King statue. The gods below worshiped the Dragon King. If I stood on the Dragon King's head, wouldn't they also worship me?"
"When I woke up again, it was so pitiful that I had escaped. I was in a dilapidated ruins, full of unconscious walking corpses! But I was trapped in the statue of the Dragon King. I had some supernatural powers and could control it. These walking dead.”
"At first I could only control one or two, but after they saw flesh and blood, I was helpless. The zombies would be stable for a long time after eating, and they could also strengthen my magical powers! Later, the zombies ate a lot of animals and people, and I was able to After controlling more than 300 zombies, we turned around the husband village."
"They often charm some passers-by, without harming their lives. They just tell some stories to relieve their boredom, and then they are released after two days!"
Ning An touched his chin, slightly enlightened, and had some guesses.
The Dragon King statue was originally in a large tomb of an ancient nobleman. After the change of dynasties, it was stolen by an unknown tomb robber and wandered into the world. But how did it become intelligent? Do you have magical powers? ! !
There is wisdom and can control zombies...
Ning An was shocked and looked at the trembling statue. This was probably a high-grade thing!
What's going on? This is different from previous perceptions!
Ning An subconsciously thought of the broken purple long knife and the red "Gu Yue" hanging around his neck. He always thought that there were only two ways to obtain this kind of treasure, one was artificial refining, and the other was heaven's reward. After hundreds of years of disaster, he had never heard of any treasure that had intelligence on its own.
Something's wrong! Something's wrong!
Before traveling back in time, he had never heard of mysterious masters like Silica in the early days of the disaster. Records at that time were that humanity was in dire straits and viruses were impossible to prevent, so they could only rely on thermal weapons to fight zombies. But now... there are rumors of extraterrestrial visitors? ! If it existed before, why is there no record of it in history?
These are inconsistent with the understanding before time travel!
Ning An frowned, feeling that this could not be explained by a simple "butterfly effect".
He glanced sideways at the trembling girl at his feet, and then suppressed his distracted thoughts.
We will think about other things later. What matters now is dealing with the mysterious Dragon King statue.
Before the Dragon King statue spoke, Ning An's idea was to smash it and get out of trouble first.
But now...
To be honest, I'm a little reluctant to give it up.
Controlling zombies, even if they are just low-level zombies, is still very effective, not to mention that they can evolve.
Ning An deliberately thrust the broad knife in front of the Dragon King statue, "Those beautiful mothers in clothes?"
"They're all water ghosts!"
"The old man in red?"
"When I came to Fu Village, I was already a walking corpse!"
"That Xu Fu?"
"I was so hungry that I ate my daughter, and then she was bitten by a walking zombie and she became a walking zombie too!"
"Oh, they're all dead people."
The girl was so frightened that she didn't dare to speak. When she saw the man in front of her, she didn't speak either and wanted to kowtow again.
"I just beg you to spare my life. Whatever you ask me to do, young hero, I can do it!"
Ning An's eyes lit up, he pondered for a while, and asked, "Don't you think this husband's village is too small and a bit boring?"
The girl's eyes flashed and she said cautiously: "Recently, I just want to charm passers-by by telling some outside stories without harming their lives. I also want to use this to become famous and attract more people to come and make the place lively and lively - but I'm a little tired of it."
"Oh? Then why don't you go out for a walk?" Ning'an Tuqiong saw this and said with a smile: "Do something for me and I will spare your life."
The girl nodded repeatedly. Ning An was very satisfied and took the broad knife from the neck of the Dragon King statue.
"It's just that the Dragon King statue is too big and a bit conspicuous."
When the girl heard this, a look of struggle flashed through her eyes, and she suddenly spoke: "Young hero, the Dragon King statue was worshiped day and night back then, and it actually had some benefits in nurturing the soul. I benefited from it, but now it costs about the same, and I also have some knowledge. , you can change into a physical body."
Seeing that Ning An had no objection, the girl nodded and said, "Please come with me, young hero."
Ning An carried the Dragon King statue and followed the girl to the village.
After a while, we stopped in front of the familiar wine shop.
With empty eyes, Xu Fu opened the door for Ning An, respectfully welcomed him in, and brought him to a bright red coffin.
"Please help me open the coffin, young hero!"
The girl's voice was a little urgent.
Ning An squinted at it. The thousand-year-old bastard was too thoughtful, so he had to take precautions. He threw the Dragon King statue to his right hand. He held the coffin with his left hand in a threatening manner with his broad sword and suddenly exerted force.
Can't move!
Well, it asked me to help open it, but maybe it really couldn't be opened by myself.
It was five meters long and three meters wide. It took about a dozen people to lift it. Ning An slashed at the coffin with his knife, and after a while, a big hole was broken.
"Young hero, this is the body I discovered by chance. It is magnificent and suitable for the soul to rest in."
After saying that, the girl fell to the ground. The Dragon King was like a golden light, and the illusion collapsed. Looking around, everything was devastated and zombies were wandering around.
thump!
A woman fell from the coffin. She quickly stood up, rubbed her buttocks, and said a blessing to Ning'an.
"Thank you for not killing the young hero. Gu Snake swears to follow the young hero to the death."
Ning An's eyes widened and he was shocked.
So damn beautiful.
