Qu Xingchi was a little confused, so he retreated to Lin Qingqing's side, holding the two swords tightly, watching these people warily to prevent them from suddenly attacking and hurting anyone.
Seeing Lin Qingqing motionless blocking the entrance of the cave, the villagers who were about to make a move gradually became quiet.
They had seen this woman's ferocity with their own eyes. Perhaps many of these people had a grudge against her, but when their opponents were stronger than they imagined, they could no longer think of revenge.
What's more, for these remaining villagers, there are more important things to do.
After receiving instructions from Lin Qingqing, Yin Yaxiu followed Lei Min to the innermost part of the cave.
A white tiger as big as a small mountain fell in a pool of blood. The scene was extremely shocking.
"Oh my God, it's so big! If the tiger skin of this fourth-level white tiger could be made into clothing, it would definitely be stronger than a body armor!"
Yin Yaxiu touched the pipe on her waist, her eyes flashing with excitement.
But the next moment, when she saw the scorch marks all over Bai Hu's body, her expression suddenly changed.
"Vice Captain Lei!" She turned to look at Lei Min and said in a sinister tone: "Do you know how much the skin of a fourth-level mutated white tiger is worth?"
"I……"
Lei Min touched her nose nonchalantly, then she pinched her neck, pointed at Bai Hu and asked, "Then do you know how high this guy's defense is? We three third-level mutants fought for half an hour. Just kill it!"
The traces of the fight between the three people are still there, and one can see how intense the battle was at that time.
Looking at Yin Yaxiu's increasingly gloomy face, Lei Min's voice became lower and lower: "Don't be so demanding. I feel sorry for you, okay? If you can't make a bulletproof vest, at the worst, I can just make a bulletproof vest..."
Of course she knew that level four mutant beasts were very rare. At the Rongcheng base, a tooth of a level two mutant dog would be sold at a premium, let alone a level four white tiger.
Yin Yaxiu ignored her and turned around to reach the tiger's head. Then she touched the two bloody holes on the white tiger's forehead in surprise and asked, "This..."
"I didn't do this!" Lei Min glanced at Yin Yaxiu's face and waved his hand reflexively.
"Of course it's not you," Yin Yaxiu knew in her heart that even Lin Qingqing, let alone Lei Min, might not have this ability.
"Is it really the one who Chengfeng did? A wind superpower?"
"Yeah, the captain and I were also shocked at that time!"
"The physical strength is so high!" Yin Yaxiu looked at the two blood holes thoughtfully. The edges were very neat, with no trace of tearing at all, as if they were made by a drill.
"This person must be at level six!"
"Impossible, a sixth-level wind power user can't defeat a fourth-level white tiger cub?"
"That may be because my judgment is not accurate enough, or maybe this Chengfeng has some special skills."
"By the way, Sister Yaxiu, what did Xiao Lingdang say? Can she tell Chengfeng's level?"
"No, Little Bell is only at the second level," Yin Yaxiu shook her head and said, "She said before that she couldn't detect the situation in the cave at all. It's probably because of Chengfeng. He may have some special skills that can block supernatural powers. Exploring."
"The wind element actually has such a skill?" Lei Min felt that Chengfeng was a bit too mysterious.
"How can a bounty hunter deal with this mess if he doesn't have any means to save his life? Okay, let's not talk about him anymore, come here and help!"
"Oh, okay!"
Lei Min helped Yin Yaxiu pack up the materials that could be used on the white tiger, and then followed Lin Qingqing's instructions to leave all the animal meat where it was.
"The captain said you can't eat these?" Yin Yaxiu felt a little pity.
"Chengfeng said it! Sister Yaxiu, don't you see anything wrong?"
"No, I can't tell."
She didn't see anything wrong, but since Chengfeng didn't eat anything, there must be something wrong.
Yin Yaxiu didn't hesitate and carried the materials out of the cave with Lei Min.
As soon as the two came out, the eyes of the villagers
They all looked over.
"What's wrong with these people? Why do we look like wolves in our eyes?" Lei Min couldn't help but get goosebumps all over his body.
"Maybe they are hungry, don't worry about them, let's go." Lin Qingqing said, taking Wen Ling and leading the way out of the village.
As soon as the villagers saw her leaving the cave entrance, they rushed into the cave.
"Captain, why don't you go first? I want to go in and have a look."
Qu Xingchi rolled his eyes and said, he was very curious about the purpose of those villagers. Is there any treasure in the cave?
"Then be careful, they are not good people!"
"I know, don't worry!"
Qu Xingchi clapped his swords and followed furtively.
The four of them went down the mountain and returned to the village. Lin Qingqing suddenly remembered the woman who escaped.
"Where's Duan Xuhong? Isn't she with you?"
"No, she refused to come with us," Yin Yaxiu took a puff of cigarette and recounted her previous experience.
"She should still be in the village now. Should we go find her?"
"Go and ask, I promised her before that I would take her away."
"Okay, then I'll go find her," Lei Min said, trotting to the village to find Duan Xu.
In the cave, Qu Xingchi secretly followed these villagers to the deepest part.
He was also shocked by the huge body of the fourth-level white tiger.
"My dear, what did this white tiger eat to grow so big?"
"Huh? What are these people doing?"
Qu Xingchi carefully walked around behind them and saw that instead of being frightened when they saw the white tiger's body, the villagers pounced on it like a pack of hungry wolves.
Their eyes were red, and they tore into the flesh and blood of the white tiger like wild beasts, and then devoured it hungrily.
"Ugh~" Seeing this scene, Qu Xingchi's stomach suddenly turned.
"This, this can't be a group of adult vultures!" He covered his mouth and looked at the group of people in shock, as if he were looking at a group of eating zombies.
Crazy, these people must be crazy! This is not normal, there must be something wrong with them!
Qu Xingchi turned around and ran away without even thinking. He wanted to find Lin Qingqing quickly.
"Crack", in panic, he stepped on a dry branch.
At this time, all the villagers suddenly stopped, and then turned to look at him.
"I, I won't compete with you! You continue, you continue!"
Qu Xingchi stepped back and waved his hands. Looking at the blood-red eyes of these people, cold sweat fell from his forehead.
After a while, perhaps seeing that he was indeed no threat, the villagers turned around and continued to eat.
Oh my god, this scene was so scary. Qu Xingchi no longer wanted to watch the fun. He activated his powers and ran down the mountain in a hurry.
At the entrance of the village, Lin Qingqing was still waiting there. Qu Xingchi ran over from a distance. After seeing them, he couldn't even take a breath and started to talk about his experience just now.
"You didn't see that scene. A dozen people were lying there gnawing on corpses. It was really scary. If I hadn't heard them talk before, I would have thought all these villagers were zombies!"
"These people are indeed abnormal." Lin Qingqing thought of the group of people she killed in the slaughterhouse before. At that time, she also had the feeling that they were all zombies.
"Captain, you said that this village worships the white tiger and enshrines it as a mountain god. Is it really out of reverence for it?"
Qu Xingchi had personally served as a tribute and experienced the sacrificial process from beginning to end, but he always felt that there was an inexplicable sense of violation in it.
"No matter what, the white tiger is indeed protecting this village."
For the fourth-level mutant white tiger, the entire village and even this mountain are its territory. As long as it is here for one day, it can protect the village for one day.
"But it's hard to say what these people are thinking."
"I don't understand why it has to stay here to be a mountain god.
? Wen Ling asked with some confusion.
"I guess it may have been raised by someone."
Lin Qingqing remembered the bird feather cloak from before, and also remembered that before he died, he took out a white whistle.
"White Tiger can understand his whistle, which means they have a tacit understanding a long time ago. That whistle looks quite old, maybe it was there before the end of the world."
"You mean that white tiger was tamed before the end of the world?" Qu Xingchi thought thoughtfully.
"It's very possible, otherwise how could they control a level four white tiger? Well... maybe the person with the ability to emit the paralyzing scent also played a big role!"
Lin Qingqing felt that her guess was accurate, but she still couldn't imagine how these villagers ended up in this state.
————
In the village, before Lei Min found Duan Xuhong, she was looking for food from house to house, but she searched around and found nothing until she came to Ge Dahu's house.
"There's still smoke coming out of the kitchen at this point, there must be something to eat here!"
The door of Ge Da's house was unlocked, so she went in and walked around, and finally found a bowl of gray-black paste in Mrs. Ge's house.
Duan Xuhong was very hungry now, so she didn't care much, so she picked up the paste and put it in her mouth.
"Ugh~"
As soon as the gray-black paste poured into her mouth, she spit it out with a whoosh.
"What kind of crap is this?"
It looks like gnocchi, but it tastes bitter, astringent, and has a fishy smell.
Duan Xuhong finally stopped retching. When she looked up, she saw Mrs. Ge lying on the bed and looking at her.
"ah--"
Duan Xuhong was startled, and the hand holding the bowl suddenly shook, and the bowl fell to the ground with a "pop".
The gray-black paste was scattered all over the floor. Mrs. Ge followed her hand and glanced at the bowl on the ground, then looked at Duan Xuhong who looked nervous, and said slowly: "It's good to drop it, it's good to drop it, that's all It's a human life, you can't eat it, you can't eat it..."
"Ugh~"
Hearing what she said, Duan Xuhong's face turned even paler. She pointed at the gray-black paste on the ground and asked in a trembling voice: "Don't scare me! What on earth is this thing?"
"What's the thing that people exchange for from the mountain gods if it's not human life?"
"This belongs to the mountain god, the mountain god..."
"Ugh~"
Suddenly thinking of something, Duan Xuhong couldn't bear it anymore. She quickly covered her mouth and rushed out of the door.
