Chapter 398 A shrill and strange sound
Princess Mingzhu is a typical type of person who doesn’t take too much trouble to watch the excitement, but still wants to make trouble when nothing happens. Whenever there is something new, she will definitely find a way to get involved.
If she knew that a villager was asking for help regarding something related to monsters, she would have to come over and have a look, even if she was in trouble.
Therefore, Li Yingluo and Zheng Yinping, who were also somewhat interested, had to stay and watch her for 24 hours, so Yang Yiyi rode out alone to see the situation.
Anyway, I had to stay for half a day to replenish the food on the ship. This was just the time for Yang Yiyi to come and explore.
As for the reason why they were relieved that Yang Yiyi came out on her own, the two of them knew that Li Chengqi was following them, and there were immortals there, so what kind of monsters couldn't be dealt with? Do you need to worry about this?
After listening to the explanation, Li Chengqi felt that you are too busy to shoulder all this trouble...
It feels like there is no benefit at all, and there may be danger when facing monsters, so why are you so active?
But then again, this is Yang Yiyi's character. It would be abnormal for her to stay honest.
Okay, come on, at least take a look at the situation.
As Yang Yiyi rode on the road, the sky gradually became brighter and there were more and more pedestrians on the road.
From the current point of view, it doesn't look like there is a monster. If the passersby in a dangerous area are really nervous, they will not be so relaxed.
This also means that the rumors of monsters were limited to the village and did not spread outside the village, otherwise the news would have spread through the merchants.
So whether it is true or just a mistake, you need to go to the village to ask about the situation.
It was rumored that the village where the monster was found was not far from the city. Yang Yiyi rode on the road for about an hour. When he turned along the road, he could see the village with smoke rising from the cooking pots.
There are monsters causing trouble so close to a big city...
Anyway, Li Chengqi thought it was unlikely.
At this time, it was common practice in rural areas to have two meals a day. When you get up in the morning, you go to work first and then eat after you come back. This saves food. So when Yang Yiyi entered the village, she could just see the smoke.
She turned over and dismounted, just in time to see an old man walking home carrying a pole.
"Uncle, I heard that there is a monster in our village. Does anyone know the details?"
The old man was a little depressed and looked at Yang Yiyi after hearing this.
You can see his eyes moving back and forth between the tall horse Yang Yiyi is riding and the mace on his back, as if he wakes up in an instant.
"Girl...uh, Heroine is here to help us?"
"Yes, I heard that there are monsters causing trouble, and I plan to come and ask first."
Before he finished speaking, the old man ran towards the village in a hurry, shouting as he ran:
"Everyone, come out! Come out quickly! There are knights to help us deal with the monsters!"
I have to say that there is nothing wrong with this old man’s legs and feet. He is so agile...
The village is not big, and the father-in-law's voice made him want the whole village to come out. When he saw Yang Yiyi dressed as a knight-errant, he was overjoyed. A large number of people approached like zombies, talking about monsters. matter.
Not to mention that Yang Yiyi couldn't hear clearly, Li Chengqi couldn't even see all the dialog boxes that popped up. They were full of dialogue bubbles.
All we can say is that the locals have had enough of being frightened.
Seeing their reaction, Li Chengqi was a little unsure whether the simple villagers had seen it wrong.
–‐‐——–‐‐——
You kept saying something to me, but you couldn't explain it clearly for a long time. Fortunately, the village chief had to arrive a step late to make everyone quiet down.
"I am the mayor of this small wilderness village. The heroine came just in time. This monster has caused misery to the villagers."
Finally, when she met someone she could talk to, Yang Yiyi cupped her fists and saluted:
"Old man, what's going on here? Can you tell me in detail." "This is natural."
It is said that I first noticed a fire in the mountains in the middle of the night about a month ago. At that time, I thought it was a caravan on its way in the middle of the night holding a torch in the mountains, so it didn't cause much commotion.
But then there were fires almost every night, and the fires didn't look like torches.
In the original words of the villagers, the red light looked like the bellows blowing from a lit stove. It was so large that it covered most of the mountain, which was particularly scary.
Almost all the villagers saw the fire in the middle of the night and immediately reported it to the authorities.
As for the suspicious figure outside the village, not many people saw it, but the officials sent by the government also saw it and said that if they caught up with it, it would suddenly disperse like a shadow.
So far, it was similar to the information Yang Yiyi had received in advance, and then the village chief said one more thing.
"Last night, not only could I see the red light on the mountain top, but I could also hear the shrill and low screams."
"What kind of sound is it specifically? Is it like a beast like a lion or a tiger?"
The village chief shook his head, with a look of horror on his face: "The sound was too unpleasant. It didn't sound like the cry of a beast or a bird at all. The sound was deafening."
This description was too vague, so Yang Yiyi asked:
"It sounds similar to something?"
"Some sounds were like the sound of a carriage running over gravel, and the clanging clang woke everyone up. Some of the brave ones got up to check, and saw many birds and beasts running down the mountain. Oh, it looked like I'm on the run."
The already panicked villagers were even more panicked now. No one dared to sleep anymore, and they stayed up till dawn in fear. This is why the husband whom Yang Yiyi stopped looked so low-energy.
"Were there any red lights that we had seen before?"
"Yes, and it's brighter than ever before. I wish I could dye half of the sky red."
To be sure, such a lively scene was not just an illusion caused by the villagers' misunderstandings, but Li Chengqi noticed something strange.
If it was really a monster that was causing trouble, why didn't it hurt anyone?
“Is anyone in the village injured by monsters?”
I don’t know if Yang Yiyi also discovered this suspicion, or if she just asked casually.
"That's not true. It's just that everyone doesn't dare to go up the mountain anymore for fear of being caught by monsters for the tooth festival."
"Were not even the livestock damaged?"
The village chief shook his head, indicating that nothing happened in the village.
This is strange.
No one in the village got sick, no one was missing, and even the livestock was unharmed.
Yang Yiyi has been listening to her parents telling stories about monsters eating people since she was a child. Although she has never seen it with her own eyes, since there are such rumors, even if it is to catch the wind, there must be some shadow.
If there really is a monster on this mountain, something will definitely happen in the small village at the foot of the mountain.
Besides, judging from the painting style of the monsters in Taoyuan Valley, it seems that they can't make such a big fuss. The monsters in Taoyuan Valley don't know any magic skills. In addition to being able to speak human words, most of them look like Just animals.
In addition, the company officer has seen figures that disappear on their own...
Emmm…
Li Chengqi felt that it was not like a monster causing trouble, but more like someone was causing trouble.
As for the abnormalities seen by the villagers...
Could this martial arts-style script actually have magic?
