Chapter 136 The Story of Uncle Cat
There is indeed something wrong with Granny Li’s story, and clues to the truth must be around.
Xiao Jie walked into a thatched hut and looked at the dilapidated interior with his eyes slowly sweeping over it. He soon discovered a suspicious point.
Although the dilapidated hut in front of me is simple, there are many dishes, cups and saucers in the cupboard.
The people in the fishing village are all poor, and dishes and dishes are valuable household items to them. If they move away, how can they lose so many dishes and dishes?
It doesn't matter if this game is a shoddy garbage game, but this game is so detailed in its depiction of details, then this must be a loophole.
Xiao Jie continued to search for clues, focusing on every corner.
Hey, this is it!
There was a flying knife embedded in the wall in front of him. Most of the flying knife was nailed into the mud wall, only a handle was exposed.
There must have been a battle here.
Xiao Jie continued to search. Hey, there was a wicker box. When he opened it, there were a few old clothes and a dozen copper coins inside.
Yes, it has been confirmed that these villagers definitely did not leave on their own, and were most likely killed to silence them.
Did the sharks do it, or did Granny Li do it? Why did Granny Li kill these villagers?
"Master, I found a cat." Carrot's voice came from outside the house, and Xiao Jie hurriedly walked out.
"Take me there quickly."
Soon Xiao Jie followed Luobo to the edge of the village. On an upside-down fishing boat, a cat lay basking in the sun.
It was a gray tabby cat, which reminded Xiao Jie of the one on Huqiu Mountain, but the one in front of him looked a little thin and very old.
Seeing that Xiao Jie's old cat did not run away, probably due to the effect of his affinity with the beast, but instead lazily licked its fur.
"Hello, little one." Xiao Jie said warmly.
"Little guy? Humph, if you count the ages of cats, I'm older than you. You should call me Uncle Cat."
Xiao Jie's eyes lit up. Good old cat. If you say old cat, you might know what happened fifteen years ago.
"So, Uncle Cat, can you tell me what happened in this village in the past? To be precise, it was what happened fifteen years ago."
"Meow, you are so ignorant. You want to ask me questions, but you don't have anything to give me."
Okay, I have to take on another mission.
Xiao Jie is also very patient. This kind of task line must be one after another. "What does Uncle Cat want?"
"I want to eat some fresh fish. Since this village was abandoned, it's rare to get it. That dead old woman has marinated all the fish. It's so salty that it's inedible."
This is really not a problem. After killing so many sharks in the morning, Xiao Jie picked up several fresh fish of various kinds.
Opening his backpack, Xiao Jie used Feed the Beast and threw out a fish. The old cat's eyes immediately lit up.
I caught the fish and ate it slowly.
After finishing the fish, the old cat couldn't help but sigh.
"Ah, it's been a long time since I've eaten such fresh fish." Her tone was exactly the same as when Granny Li was drinking.
"Now can you tell me what happened?"
"Of course, but first of all, I didn't see much back then. Fifteen years ago, Fenghe Village was still bustling with people, and there were so many fish that I couldn't finish them all. I ate and drank every day, and I had as much fresh fish as I wanted. It was such a joy to eat, but that night, everything changed..."
The old cat's voice was full of vicissitudes of life, and his thoughts returned to the past.
Boom! The thunder woke up the old cat from his sleep. He hid under the fishing boat and opened his eyes. He liked the fishy smell in the fishing boat.
But I'm a little dissatisfied with the wet ground.
It seemed like it was going to rain outside, and it was pitch black. After the thunder, it fell into silence without a single sound. It was the tranquility before the storm clouds. Something seemed to be brewing in the dark night.
Suddenly, a scream broke the tranquility of the night.
"Monster, monster!"
It was a woman's voice, which sounded young but very unfamiliar.
The old cat, who was still a kitten at this time, put his head out curiously, but was hit by a raindrop and immediately retracted his head.
It's raining——
Soon there was a loud noise outside, drowning out the sound of rain.
The entire fishing village seemed to wake up, and Mao Mao heard the village discussing something with the villagers, as well as the older woman's crying.
I vaguely heard some words.
"Oh my God, it's true."
"Really a monster?"
"I just said there was something wrong with that woman. There is no such charming woman in the world."
"Kill her! Kill her!"
"What about Li He?"
"If you dare to stop me, I'll kill you together. I don't think you're a good person after sleeping with a monster for so long."
The kitten didn't quite understand what these humans were doing, but it instinctively sensed a crisis.
With a shout, the crowd rushed towards the largest hut.
Men's angry roars, women's pleas, babies' cries...
The kitten didn't know what was happening there, but the tranquility of the fishing village had undoubtedly been broken.
It huddled under the fishing boat, shivering.
Suddenly, all the sounds disappeared, as if something happened.
Then he heard an old and vicious voice.
"You-all must die!"
Then in the blink of an eye, the villagers began to scream. The crowd poured out of the huts, some fled, some fled home, but the voice soon followed.
"You-all must die!"
It wasn't until half an hour later that the entire fishing village returned to calm, and the kitten got out from under the fishing boat.
It saw corpses everywhere, and blood flowed into the lake along with the rain, like red rivers...
"That's what happened. From then on, there was no one else in the fishing village except Granny Li and the baby. There was no more fish to eat."
Lao Mao's story confirmed many of Xiao Jie's guesses, but there were still a few details that needed to be determined.
"Where are the bodies?"
"They were all buried in the big pit south of the village."
Xiao Jie's eyes lit up, "Take me there quickly."
In five minutes, one person and one cat came to a large pit behind the village. Xiao Jie used his digging skills and quickly dug out several corpses from the pit. Because of the age, only the skeletons were left. .
I don’t know if corpse language can communicate anymore.
If you can ask using corpse language, you can definitely summarize the complete story.
It's a pity that I don't have enough understanding at the moment and can't learn Corpse Language. But it's not a big problem. I'll go back to the auction house and see if I can get items that increase my understanding. As long as I learn Corpse Language, I can communicate with these corpses and confirm the details. The truth of the matter will basically come to light.
Just as I was thinking about it, a private message from me who wanted to become a fairy arrived.
I want to become an immortal: Brother Feng, the sharks are here again!
Yinyue Suifeng: I'll be right away.
Xiao Jie said and hurriedly got on his horse and rushed towards the lake.
Riding a horse is fast, and he arrived at the lake in the blink of an eye. Sure enough, groups of sharks were climbing to the shore.
Xiao Jie started to fire arrows while dismounting, but he switched to melee weapons after only a few arrows were fired. Only one-third of the arrows shot in the morning were recovered, so it was better to use them sparingly.
The internal force special effects are activated - the violent wind knife technique is activated!
Xiao Jie waved his two swords and killed him.
Swipe, swipe, swipe, and the force of the violent wind is fully stacked with a few swords. I have to say that this violent wind sword technique is very effective for cleaning up the mobs. The 30% attack speed bonus makes Xiao Jie's attacks smooth and flowing. .
Especially when dealing with these slow landing sharks, it is as easy as chopping vegetables and melons.
Spin chop! The two swords spun around and slashed out. Seeing one of the sharks fall down covered in blood, Xiao Jie was about to slash at the next one. Unexpectedly, the shark suddenly opened his mouth and a jet of black water spurted towards Xiao Jie. .
The kite turns over!
Xiao Jie hurriedly dodged to avoid the sneak attack, and then looked at the name of the monster - the shark spitter: level 14, health value 280. It turned out to be a new monster.
And there were quite a lot of them, mixed in among the sharks seeking pearls, constantly spitting black water at the two of them.
This black water was still a range attack. Xiao Jie did not dare to bet on the power of this black water and could only keep retreating.
Damn, this thing is kind of disgusting.
"Brother Feng, here I come!" I saw an iron pot flying over with a swish, directly knocking the shark spitter over, but it was me who wanted to become an immortal and started throwing with brutal throwing.
This brutal throw doesn't do much damage, but it does have a knockdown effect. As long as the weight of the thrown thing is large enough, it can cause a somersault. Xiao Jie takes the opportunity to rush forward and break it in half with one move, and then adds a roundhouse slash to finish it easily.
I wanted to become an immortal and got a bunch of iron pots, big rocks, and wood from nowhere, and kept throwing them at the fish-men spitters.
Not to mention, this thing is quite easy to control.
Except for the ability to spray black water, the Shark Breather is no different from the Shark Pearl Seeker.
As long as the shark spitter is killed, the remaining bead seekers will be nothing more than experience points on the chopping board.
The two cooperated tacitly, defeating waves of sharks.
After fighting intermittently until five o'clock, a white light finally flashed, and he was upgraded one after another.
Hahaha, so cool!
He was promoted to a level in one day, which was already very fast compared to others.
Thanks to these sharks who came ashore, if the sharks can keep grinding, they may not be able to reach level 20 in half a month.
It's a pity that after leveling up, you can't randomly add attribute points. Xiao Jie now has 10 free attribute points, but he can only save them, preparing to add all of them to spirituality when he has the opportunity.
The reason why I don't add it immediately is just in case, if I encounter danger and need to improve my basic attributes, these 10 free attribute points may be able to save my life.
I'm in the same situation when I want to become an immortal. After saving 10 attribute points, I can only watch them. When I save 20, I can add them to spirituality.
The two went to Grandma Li to receive the reward. This time the two of them received a total of 12,000 Wen, a full twelve taels of silver, and each of them received six taels.
In other words, in one afternoon, the two of them killed 120 sharks.
Granny Li took out the money, but she didn't care. Instead, she asked: "The shark suffered a heavy setback today, so he probably won't show up again, but if he waits until tomorrow, he may come again. Can you two still be alive tomorrow?" Come to help?"
"That's natural. Don't worry, mother-in-law. As the saying goes, draw your sword to help when the road is rough. These mountain spirits and water monsters are so arrogant. Naturally, we can't just stand by and watch."
"That's right. It's bad luck for these sharks to encounter us. We will definitely come back tomorrow."
"Okay, okay, I really saw the right person. You returnees are all good people." Granny Li smiled from ear to ear.
"Then I'll say goodbye today."
Granny Li advised: "Although the thatched hut is simple, it can provide shelter from wind and rain, so why not stay in it."
Xiao Jie said: "No, these sharks are strong in numbers. They are fine today, but they may be more ferocious tomorrow. We have to go back to the town to buy some arrow talismans and repair them. Then we can naturally recharge our batteries and fight with all our strength." war."
What he said was not an excuse. In the morning, there were only sharks looking for pearls, but in the afternoon there was a kind of sharks spitting out. According to this rule, tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow, I am afraid there will be more and more sharks attacking. The stronger you are, the more you must be prepared.
Besides, he still had to find a way to learn the corpse language technique.
After hearing this, Granny Li said nothing. The two of them got on their horses and ran wildly in the direction they came from.
Finally, I returned to the town before dark.
