At the sound of the barking, a bad premonition arose in my heart.
When the three of us looked at each other and simultaneously rushed out of the ancestral hall, what appeared before us was simply the end of the world!
At this time, countless birds were flying through the sky in the direction of the village. At the same time, countless shadows were running through the forest in the distance towards the village!
Only when the black figures approached us did we see that they were rabbits, squirrels, snakes, weasels … There were even a few well-built wolves!
After entering the village, these wild beasts immediately laid down on the ground, as if they were begging their owner to forgive them. They eagerly looked in the direction of the ancestral hall!
"What … what is going on?"
After exchanging a glance with Dazhi, I felt goosebumps appearing all over my body.
However, in a split-second, we understood why the beasts had fled to the village to seek refuge. This was because behind them, there were countless motes of light chasing after them, surging towards the village from all directions.
However, when those specks of light caught up to the bluestone-paved road, they didn't go any closer and surrounded the entire village!
"You, your village is still … you're really safe …"
At this moment, I was so scared that my entire body was trembling. My lips turned blue as I sat on the floor. Even Liang Bin's face turned pale. It was rare for him to have such a pale face like a normal person.
"The three of you just returned?"
A voice sounded out from behind them, causing the three of us to scream out in fright!
"Uncle Dong!" You'll scare us to death! "
When Liang Bin saw who it was, he immediately spoke to the person behind him with a mournful expression.
The person who came was about fifty years old and had a hunting rifle slung over his shoulder. He should be the only hunter left in the village that Liang Bin had mentioned.
Without saying anything else, Uncle Dong immediately slapped Liang Bin in the face and scolded Liang Bin in his native language. Then, he turned around with a smile and walked over to me and Big Board.
"You two came to our Liang Village as guests, right?"
Although this Uncle Dong looks fierce, I admire his spirit even more! How could he still laugh at such a time!?
"I'm Dong Hai, the hunter here. If you offend me in any way, please forgive me!"
After saying that, Dong Hai actually bowed towards me and Big Board with both of his hands clasped. He then made a ninety-degree bow, causing Big Board and I to be stupefied!
However, before we could come back to our senses, Dong Hai had already jumped in front of me. He grabbed me with his hand and pulled me down to the ground. He tore my clothes without a word!
The whole process only lasted for a second, and I didn't feel any pain at all. On the contrary, the moment my clothes were torn, the large board pointed at my back as if it had seen a ghost and fell to the ground in fright!
Looking at the board, I felt all the hair on my body stand up!
"Endure it!"
As soon as Dong Hai finished his words, I immediately felt a trace of ice-cold feeling piercing into my back, followed by a burning pain!
Then, I felt something being ripped off my back, followed by a numbing 'creak'!
The moment the squeak sounded, I felt a chill all over my body!
This damn bug, when did it get into my body? I don't feel anything at all!
"Hey!" Your luck is quite good, you're actually a king! "
As he said that, he held up a golden beetle that was lying on the dagger in front of my eyes and waved it in front of my eyes.
At this moment, I was so scared that my heart was like dying embers. Fortunately, after Dong Hai caught the bug, he didn't stab me in the back again. Instead, he picked up the bug and headed towards the direction of the village entrance.
Seeing that he was about to leave, I immediately got anxious, "Uncle Dong, you're leaving just like that? Do you have any more bugs on me? "
After hearing my shout, Dong Haicheng turned around and smiled at me, "Don't worry. With the King Worms around, the other bugs wouldn't dare to touch you!"
As there are hordes of wild beasts at the foot of the mountain, we would never dare to go down the mountain rashly. We could only stand at the entrance of the ancestral hall on the mountainside and watch Dong Hai walk into the midst of the wild beasts.
As for the group of wild beasts, when they saw Dong Hai coming over, they didn't make much movements. Instead, they lowered their heads and made a path for him.
When Dong Hai threw the golden beetle into the ditches in the village, the specks of light instantly gathered towards the ditches. As the golden beetles were washed away by the water, the countless beetles also disappeared from our sight.
"Brother Zhou, when I saw that old man grab those bugs, they spilled a lot of golden stuff into your wounds. Did you feel any discomfort or anything else?"
After hearing this, my heart which I had just put down couldn't help but be lifted into my throat once more.
After Dong Hai returned, I immediately repeated his words. However, Dong Hai calmly said, "Don't worry, these things specialize in eating the flesh and blood of animals. The King's Worm is even more particular. Its blood flow into your veins will only benefit you. "
After hearing this, I finally felt relieved.
This village is simply a sanctuary of myths. How could I not believe the words of the senior experts in this village when such a terrifying object was actually rejected?
After taking care of my wounds, Dong Hai directly said "go home and sleep" and left. The innumerable birds and beasts in the village also left quietly without us realizing it, leaving the three of us in the ancestral hall staring at each other and sighing deeply about what just happened.
Unknowingly, the night passed and the sky started to shine. Suddenly, a sentence that made me at a loss whether to laugh or cry popped up on the board.
"Brother Zhou, do you think you'll become a beetle warrior when we go back?"
After hearing this, three black lines instantly appeared on my head. "Can you stop thinking about these random things?" We came here this time to look for someone! "
Excited, I accidentally pulled the wound, causing me to break out in a cold sweat from the pain.
"It's fine, it's fine. When the sun rises, you can rest here. I'll help you find that Liang Family soldier. I'll help you get to the bottom of this matter regarding Elder Miao."
Just as Da Gang finished speaking, Liang Bin, who was lying on the side, suddenly sat up. "Elder Miao?" It was Elder Miao who told you to find the Liang Family's Army? "
Upon hearing this, I immediately looked at Liang Bin curiously. "That's right. Didn't you say that you didn't know who Liang Jia Jun was?"
"Don't worry about whether I know him or not. Tell me, which Elder Miao do you mean by 'Elder Miao'?"
"Miao Jingqi, the carpenter of the Sophora Mountain building site, what happened? You know Elder Miao as well? "
Upon hearing my words, Liang Bin slapped his own forehead, "Aiya! I should have thought of it! You guys don't know me, yet you're able to come here to find the Liang Family's army. I am the Liang Family Army that you are looking for! "
Hearing those words, Big Board and I were immediately flabbergasted as we looked at this familiar and unfamiliar person.
