Idle game leads to another world

Chapter 398 A shrill and strange sound

Princess Mingzhu is a typical type who likes to watch the fun and find trouble. She will definitely find a way to get involved in anything new.

If she knew that there were villagers asking for help with matters related to monsters, she would probably come to see it even if she threw a tantrum.

Therefore, Li Yingluo and Zheng Yinping, who were originally a little interested, had to stay and watch her for 24 hours, and Yang Yiyi rode out alone to see the situation.

Anyway, they had to stay for half a day to replenish the food on the boat, so it was just right for Yang Yiyi to come and investigate during this time.

As for being relieved that Yang Yiyi came out by herself, it was because the two knew that Li Chengxi was following them and there was an immortal. What monster could not be dealt with? What was there to worry about?

After listening to the explanation, Li Chengxi felt that you were too idle to take on all these trivial matters...

It felt that there was no benefit at all. It might be dangerous to face monsters. Why were you so active?

But then again, Yang Yiyi was just like this. It would be abnormal if she stayed honestly.

Well, since we are here, we should at least take a look at the situation.

As Yang Yiyi rode on the road, the sky gradually brightened and more and more people were passing by.

At present, it did not look like there was a monster. If it was a dangerous area, the passers-by would be nervous and could not be so relaxed.

This also means that the rumor of the monster is limited to the village and has not spread outside the village, otherwise the news would have spread through merchants.

So whether it is true or just a misunderstanding, we need to go to the village to ask about the situation.

The village where the monster was rumored to be found is not far from the city. Yang Yiyi rode on the road for about an hour. As soon as she turned along the road, she could see the village with smoke rising from the chimneys.

There are monsters causing trouble so close to the big city...

Anyway, Li Chengxi thinks it is unlikely.

At this time, rural areas generally have the habit of eating two meals a day. They get up in the morning to work and then eat after returning, which saves food. So Yang Yiyi happened to see the smoke when she entered the village.

She turned over and got off the horse, just in time to see an old man carrying a shoulder pole and walking home.

"Uncle, I heard that there was a monster in our village. Does anyone know the details?"

The old man was a little depressed, and looked at Yang Yiyi after hearing the words.

You can see that his eyes moved back and forth between the tall horse Yang Yiyi rode and the steel mace on his back, as if he woke up in an instant.

"Girl... um, is the lady here to help us?"

"Yes, I heard that there is a monster causing trouble, so I plan to come and ask first."

Before he finished speaking, the old man ran towards the village, shouting as he ran:

"Everyone come out! Come out quickly! There are knights to help us deal with the monsters!"

It must be said that the old man's legs and feet are perfect, so agile...

The village is not big, and the old man's shout made everyone in the village come out. When they saw that Yang Yiyi was dressed as a chivalrous knight, they were overjoyed. A lot of people approached like zombies out of a cage, talking about monsters.

Not to mention that Yang Yiyi couldn't hear clearly, Li Chengxi couldn't even see the dialog box that popped up, which was full of bubbles of dialogue.

It can only be said that the locals have had enough of the days of fear.

Seeing their reaction, Li Chengxi was a little unsure whether it was just the villagers who saw it wrong.

–‐‐——–‐‐——

You and I talked back and forth for a long time, but nothing was made clear. Fortunately, the village chief, who was a step behind, arrived and made everyone quiet down.

“I am the village chief of this small village in the wilderness. The lady hero came at the right time. This monster has caused great harm to the villagers.”

Finally, she met someone who could talk to her properly. Yang Yiyi clasped her fists and bowed:

“Father, what is going on? Can you tell me in detail?”

“Of course.”

It is said that the first time that a fire was noticed in the mountains in the middle of the night was about a month ago. At that time, it was thought that a caravan was traveling in the middle of the night and holding torches in the mountains, so it did not cause any big commotion.

But later, there were fires almost every night, and the fires did not look like torches at all.

In the original words of the villagers, the red light looked like a burning stove blowing a bellows, and the area was so large that it covered most of the mountain, which was particularly terrifying.

Almost all the villagers saw the fire in the middle of the night and immediately reported it to the police.

As for the suspicious figure outside the village, not many people saw it, but the runners sent by the government also saw it and said that if they chased 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 another thing.

"Last night, not only could we see the red light on the top of the mountain, but we could also hear shrill and low cries."

"What kind of sound was it? Was it like the cry of 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 bad, it didn't sound like the cry of a beast or a bird at all, the sound was so loud that it was deafening."

This description was too vague, Yang Yiyi asked:

"What sound was it similar to?"

"Some of it sounded like the sound of a carriage rolling over gravel, clanging, and it scared everyone awake. Some brave people got up to check, and many birds and beasts ran down the mountain. Oh, it looked like they were fleeing."

The villagers, who were already in a panic, were even more panicked. No one dared to sleep anymore, and they stayed up in fear until dawn. This was why the old man Yang Yiyi called looked so listless.

"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 listened 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 was 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?
