Scumbag: Introduction to Immortal Cultivation[Transmigration Book]
Chapter 7, 7. Bride of the River God...
By the time we arrived at the mouth of the river, the Yao River had already begun to swell.
The river bed, which was dry and full of sand and mud an hour ago, has been flooded by the river at this moment and is invisible.The water level of the Yao River is rising at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the current is turbulent, which means that it is impossible to approach the cave.
what to do?Worrying about Xiaolei, he could only find the nearest bridge to cross the river, climb to the opposite rock wall, and then move to the cave.It's just that the night is dark now, and I don't even know what the opposite cliff looks like. If I climb up in the dark, I may fall into the water.
Or go around to the back of the cliff on the opposite side to see if there is another exit of the cave behind.In this way, it will take more time.
At this very moment, the mayor might be transferring the girl in the cave.
"Brother, do you want to go there?" Seeing Xiaolei's dilemma, Mu Tianye asked.
Nodding to Xiaolei, could that kid swim to the opposite side?But now the lights are dark, the water is fast, and the water level is getting higher and higher. If you enter the water rashly, you may be swept away by the rapids.
Mu Tianye said: "Then when you get on my back, you must hold on to me, no matter what happens, don't let go."
"What are you going to do?" Xiang Xiaolei put his hand on his back again.
Mu Amano didn't answer, but ran in the opposite direction.After running a certain distance, he began to rush towards the mouth of the river.
That speed was simply terrifying, Xiang Xiaolei only felt a gust of wind whizzing past his ears, and the next moment, Mu Tianye soared into the sky.
He was going to jump over a river!
At the moment when he was about to touch the cliff, Mu Tianye stretched out his hand to grab a raised rock, kicked his foot into the rock wall and kicked the rock wall out, and his foot just stepped on it.The other hand inserted/into the stone wall, and drilled five finger-sized holes.
Because of the sudden pause, Xiang Xiaolei slammed into Mu Tianye's back hard.While hitting, he felt that he was not hitting a person, but a horse or a cow or something.That kind of solid feeling is definitely not something that human bones can possess.
Mu Amano not only increased his strength and stamina, but even his body was unknowingly alienated.
After being fixed on the rock wall, Mu Tianye's left foot is conveniently the entrance of the cave, which shows that Mu Tianye didn't just jump around casually.Could his eyes still see at night?
Mu Tianye clung to the rock wall with one hand, and by virtue of inertia, straightened his waist and abdomen, and jumped into the cave with Xiang Xiaolei on his back.
The river has risen to the edge of the hole, showing a tendency to flow backwards.And that girl is no longer in the cave.
"Let's go inside." Xiang Xiaolei judged that there should be a way inside the cave.
Sure enough.The cave was dark and deep, getting darker and darker as they walked, but they had nothing to burn but nothing to ignite, and they were helpless against the darkness.
"You grab my clothes, I'll take you away." Mu Tianye said.Sure enough, his eyes could see in the dark.
After walking for a while in the dark, there was a faint light ahead.A faint blue light came from another cave in front of him, signaling to Xiaolei to slow down and approach slowly.
A dark figure sat in a cave full of phosphorous fires and skeletons, eating with gusto.
And the "thing" he ate had no head, and was still wearing a bright red wedding dress. Who else could it be if it wasn't the bride.
This was the first time Xiang Xiaolei saw a scene of cannibalism, and his scalp felt numb, and the hairs all over his body stood on end.He couldn't help but regret that he actually accepted such a deceitful task from the system.
Otherwise, run away and go back the same way...Xiang Xiaolei wanted to back up, but it seemed that something was crushed, and there was only a crisp sound of "click".It is a human leg bone.
At the same time, the man-eating black figure raised his head when he heard the voice.He had an extremely old, festered, deformed face.No, to be precise, he put a dead man's skin on his face, and his real appearance was covered under that dead man's skin.His eyes glowed like phosphorescent blue light, and his mouth still had the fresh blood that tore human flesh just now.
In the next second, the monster rushed towards the two of them.Mu Tianye strode in front of Xiang Xiaolei, and punched the monster flying against the wall.
No, that white thing is not a wall, but a human bone.It is a wall of white bones made of human bones and skulls, and that wall covers the entire cave, from the ground to the zenith.The monster slammed into the wall of human bones hard, and the force of that punch made the wall of human bones shake.The layers of bones began to shake, dislocate, and rub against each other, and unevenness appeared on the wall of human bones.
The monster straightened up and rushed forward again, but was kicked away by Mu Tianye before it got close.That kick was stronger than the punch just now, causing the monster to fly out, and the moment it hit the wall of human bones, the wall of human bones collapsed.
Mu Tianye grabbed Xiang Xiaolei's clothes and pulled him back to the junction of the cave, only to see that the whole cave was raining down on bones.Bones, big and small, long and short, began to fall down, some broke into sharp bone balls, some were still intact skulls, ribs, thigh bones... The rumbling sound was like a hailstorm.
The monster was smashed into the pile of human bones, and he moved, trying to push off the bones on his body.But when he just poked his head out, Xiang Xiaolei held a split sharp bone, something like a bone knife, and poked it a centimeter away from his eyes.And Mu Tianye stepped on him, making him unable to move.
"Tell me, who are you?" Xiang Xiaolei swung the bone knife in front of his eyes.
The monster panicked.His eyes had a faint blue light, dimmed with fear.
"I am the mayor, haha, if you kill me, there will be no mayor." The monster laughed strangely.
Things were a bit beyond Xiang Xiaolei's imagination.He originally thought that the mayor had abducted those girls to feed the monster, but he didn't expect the mayor to be a monster.
Xiang Xiaolei stared at his wrinkled, loose human skin, and stretched out his hand to tear it off.As a result, the monster struggled, covered its face with its hands, and said repeatedly: "You can't tear it, you can't tear it..."
In "Unifying the World", there is a kind of thing between spirits, monsters, and monsters. It has no entity and can only live by relying on the entity, which is called "virtual".The one living on human skin in front of me is probably a Xu.
The types of virtual causes are different, the attached entities are also different, and the names are also different.Some need to be attached to corpses, and some need to be attached to living people.Those attached to the dead are called manipulators, and those attached to the living are called parasitic virtuals.
And the one in front of him was obviously attached to an old and rotten corpse, it was a manipulator.And that corpse is likely to be the real mayor.
"This corpse is the mayor, right?" Xiang Xiaolei pointed a bone knife at his face, "If you don't tell the truth, I will cut this corpse to pieces and leave you with nothing to rely on."
"I said, I said..." the bird said: "I didn't kill the mayor, he died of illness. Later, I used his body as a host and started to manage the town on his behalf."
"What's going on with these marriages?" Xiang Xiaolei asked.
He replied weakly: "The mayor's body is old and rotten. I have to eat the flesh of living people to maintain my figure. I can't help it... I only eat one a year, and it's barely enough."
A ghost that eats living people still looks aggrieved, Xiang Xiaolei really wants to peel his skin, "What's the matter with that hair?"
"I... I like to eat brains..." Xu Xu licked his lips, as if reminiscing, "But the hair is particularly in the way, so I peeled off the whole scalp and threw it out."
"Why do you go to such lengths to get married by the river god?" This was Xiang Xiaolei's personal curiosity. "If you want to eat people, you can just catch bandits and robbers to eat them. Why do you want to eat girls from good families?"
"Oh...it's not just that I want to eat, it's that they are willing to send it up for me to eat." Xu Ling argued sharply, "Let's take the Lian'er family that was sent over this time as an example... his family can afford it. Two shares of money, but only one, redeemed the younger sister, but not the older sister. Because the younger sister is beautiful and engaged, they want to keep the younger sister to receive the bride price. The rest of the money has to be kept for his son to study and test his grades In this way, this ugly sister has an extra mouth to eat, so she sent it to me."
It is said that people's hearts are sinister, but they didn't expect that they are all a family, and they have planned to this extent.
Thanks to the bride's parents crying so sadly.But in fact, they all knew in their hearts that as long as they sent their daughters to marry the river god, they would never return.Knowing that it was a dead end, he still let his daughter go up.
Xiang Xiaolei saw the red dress that was suppressed under the dense white bones.
It turns out that it is not Xu who eats people in this town, but people.
According to Xu's account, it was the fake Taoist priest who made money in the name of choosing a bride, and he just ate people.In the rest of the time, he will turn into the appearance of the mayor and take care of things in the town.
The address the fake Taoist told them was an old abandoned house.And now he is still replacing the mayor, living in the mayor's house, even the mayor's wife and daughter didn't notice any difference, only that the mayor fell ill and almost died, but the doctor's magic hand brought him back to life That's all.
"One last question, why can you predict the rising period of the river?" Xiang Xiaolei felt that manipulating nature was definitely beyond the ability of a virtual.
"It is a magic weapon left by a wandering Taoist priest." Xu replied: "As long as that magic weapon sinks in the river, the river will rise sharply, and if it is taken out of the river, the water level of the river will drop. If it is in a dry season , the magic weapon can make the river rise to the level of the flood period. If it is the flood season, the magic weapon can make the river rise to the height of the embankment."
There is such a miraculous thing.Xiang Xiaolei decided to salvage that magic weapon and keep it for himself, because if he sells it... Hehe, he will definitely make a lot of money.
The river bed, which was dry and full of sand and mud an hour ago, has been flooded by the river at this moment and is invisible.The water level of the Yao River is rising at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the current is turbulent, which means that it is impossible to approach the cave.
