Chapter 65: The river god didn’t come, but the mountain ghost did!
Mountain ghost! ?
Liang Qu's heart suddenly beat.
There is an illustration of a mountain ghost in "Haomutang Miscellaneous Notes Edition". The cracked skin like a dead tree left a deep impression on him!
It looks like a human, with brown skin like a dead tree, and it is difficult to penetrate with swords and guns.
It eats livestock when young and likes to eat human organs!
How can there be a mountain ghost here! ?
Pingyang Town is sixteen miles away from Yixing City!
The fierce sound of nine gongs echoed on the pier. The shaman waved his short stick and danced slowly, singing an unknown worship song. Thousands of eyes stared at Liang Qu, expecting him to walk up to the altar.
Liang Qu suspected that what he saw was an illusion, but the next moment, the black shadow suddenly jumped out from behind the mountain wall, and the sharp nails scratched the beams and blue bricks, and under it was a dense crowd.
The children who were looking around in the crowd saw the strange and terrifying creature and burst into tears.
The people around him glared at him, and the child's mother covered the boy's mouth with apology, but when she glanced at the child's gaze, she was also stunned.
A piercing scream came.
It's not an illusion! ! !
"Retreat!!"
In an instant, the roar overwhelmed everything.
As the voice came out, more and more people saw the mountain ghost on the roof.
The news of the mountain ghost's appearance had long been spread from Pingyang Town to Yixing City, and even pictures were posted to make people be careful. In recent days, fewer people from Yixing City went to Pingyang Town.
That cracked brown skin, no matter what, will not be mistaken!
A mountain ghost that can kill warriors!
Screams came one after another, and the originally orderly crowd was instantly in chaos, with cries and shouts, but there was a marsh in front of them, and there was nowhere to escape, and some people even jumped into the water!
It's winter now!
The village elders stood up, and saw the evil appearance of the mountain ghost and were terrified. They shouted loudly and tried to organize order.
The mountain ghost on the eaves was disturbed and jumped into the crowd. Just as he was about to pounce on a woman, a fist-sized stone ball whistled and hit the mountain ghost's face accurately, knocking the mountain ghost out in mid-air and breaking into several pieces of rubble before landing.
Liang Qu went forward against the flow of people, his palms trembling and blood flowing from the styloid process of the ulna.
At some point, the canine teeth of the stone lion behind him were all broken, and the stone ball in its mouth disappeared.
"Come to my side!!"
The sound wave went straight out against the wind, and for a moment it overwhelmed the screams of the crowd.
It was like a big flag erected on the ground, guiding the chaotic crowd to rush towards him.
The woman who was not pounced on was so frightened that she fell to the ground. The man next to her grabbed the woman's hand, and the two of them rolled and crawled away.
The village elders were also frightened, and most of them threw away their crutches and ran away. The only remaining Chen Zhaoan and a few others quickly stepped forward to appease the people and let everyone take refuge in the large house behind them.
A large area of space was soon cleared under the eaves where the mountain ghost was hiding. The mountain ghost that fell to the ground shook its head and climbed up again.
The powerful stone ball did not cause any damage to it at all.
The disarticulated lower limbs, skinny upper limbs, sharp finger bones, skinny body, skinny skin, skinny skin like dead bark, yellow pupils like the color of rotting pus in the wound, staring at Liang Qu who attacked it.
Except for the disarticulated lower limbs, the rest of the mountain ghost's limbs are almost the same as those of humans, but it is precisely because of this that it is more weird.
Seeing it with my own eyes is much more terrifying than the illustrations in the book!
Liang Qu's heart was pounding, and he didn't know where he got the courage to move forward, but the arrow was on the string and had to be shot. The mountain ghost had already set his sights on him.
Small mountain ghost, big mountain ghost?
The small mountain ghost is not like that. The one in front of him is about the same height as him. Mountain ghosts don't grow that fast. But the big mountain ghost is not like that either. The big mountain ghost that can kill two-level warriors can't be knocked away by his stone ball.
Could it be the third mountain ghost besides the two?
This just explains why it appeared in Yixing City.
It didn't cross more than ten miles. It was here!
Damn it, where did so many mountain ghosts come from? Are they engaged in breeding and wholesale?
Liang Qu's thoughts were like lightning. He even vaguely guessed why this mountain ghost appeared.
The strong smell of blood in the wind, coupled with the popularity of thousands of people, successfully attracted the mountain ghost.
Sacrifice to the river god, sacrifice to the river god.
The river god didn't come, but the mountain ghost came!
Liang Qu was so angry that his teeth itched.
On the pier, the shaman and the priest disappeared.
The villagers hid in the house and huddled in the alley. The house was already full of people. There was a thick wall of people around outside. They didn't dare to move, for fear of attracting the attention of the monsters.
There was only an empty altar and three bloody animals hanging on the side for dozens of meters.
The mountain ghost was quite intelligent and seemed to see that Liang Qu was a threat to it. The two sides confronted each other, and no one moved.
Stared at by the yellow vertical pupils, Liang Qu felt like there was a snake on his back, winding around him, quietly watching.
He felt that the joints of his body were gradually becoming weak, but he didn't dare to break the silence of the confrontation.
The blood at the styloid process of the ulna gathered together and flowed along the middle finger, which was a little itchy.
Liang Qu's fingers trembled slightly, and the blood beads fell and rolled on the bluestone slab, covered with dust but not broken.
After a while, the blood beads broke.
"A Shui, we're here to help you!"
Not good!
"Don't!"
Hearing the voices of Li Libo and Chen Jiechang, Liang Qu was shocked, and then he saw the mountain ghost take a step forward, and then... disappeared!
So fast!
Liang Qu held his head with both hands, and the mountain ghost's finger bones scratched the tungsten arm guard, causing sparks to fly. A huge force came and knocked him away.
He stepped on the bluestone slab and moved sideways for several meters. The slab was broken by the step. Another evil wind came from the left. Liang Qu barely protected his neck. He only felt the sharp claws brushing against his forearm armor and piercing into his waist and abdomen, but could not go any further.
The mountain ghost's sharp claws sank into the dog-bear skin cloak, and were blocked by the mountain cow leather belt, so they could not penetrate at all!
Opportunity!
Liang Qu's blood courage was aroused. He rolled up the cloak with his hand, lifted his arm, wrapped the cloak around the mountain ghost's arm, and punched the mountain ghost in the face with his right fist.
As he made his move, he already felt the strong wind attacking his chest. The claws of the mountain ghost's other hand were like steel knives, with a piercing coldness.
"Good!" Liang Qu roared and half-turned his body to avoid the vital point. His hand did not stop at all, and punched the mountain ghost's head.
The fist hit the mountain ghost's face, as if hitting granite.
The sharp claws penetrated halfway through the cloak and got stuck in the ribs, and the blood stained the white robe red.
Liang Qu did not move at all, his forehead veins throbbing, and he clamped the mountain ghost's arm with a ferocious look, not letting it move at all.
The mountain ghost's right arm was stuck by the triangle formed by Liang Qu's left arm and body, and it could not move. It tried to retract its left hand.
Unexpectedly, Liang Qu's left arm still had some strength left, and the veins on his arm were exposed, twisting like a snake, with huge violence condensed in it, and the left palm that could still move grabbed the ghost hand on his chest.
He fixed the mountain ghost's arms with one arm!
The right fists like a string of cannons fell on the mountain ghost's face like a torrential rain!
The brave momentum made the villagers excited, and the fear turned into smoke with every punch, and they almost shouted out.
The Tianshui centipede lurking on Liang Qu's wrist took this opportunity to climb up the mountain ghost's arm, opened its mouthparts and bit down at the flesh and blood in the gap between the brown skin.
A trace of blood and red flowed out from the centipede's mouthparts, breaking the defense!
After a successful attack, Awei injected all the venom at once and quickly drilled back into his sleeve.
The venom penetrated into the body, and the mountain ghost felt a fatal threat, and kicked Liang Qu's chest with both legs.
Liang Qu was hit by this blow, and his chest seemed to be hit by a heavy hammer. From the sternum to the ribs, there was a sound of breaking, and the ups and downs were terrifying, and he almost kicked to his knees on the spot.
There were footsteps behind him, and he didn't dare to look back, but he saw two figures passing by and coming to his side, raising sharp knives to chop at the mountain ghost.
The sharp knives seemed to chop on gold and stone, and two sharp knives for bleeding pigs and cattle broke two gaps at the same time.
Mountain ghost!
It looks like a human figure, and its skin is brown like a dead tree.
It is difficult to penetrate with swords and guns!
