The Yuanrang Monster Hunter
8. Nightfall
The swordsmen and Xing Lian looked for stationery and paper. They immediately searched the village chief's house because they did not want to linger. His name is the village chief, must have a lot of stationery and paper. It was the duty of the village chief to make a written report to the local territorial ruler. Once all was complete, they began to split the task.
“Miaocai, Yuanrang, please gouge the left eye of each centipede and wrap it in cloth. Let's show you the evidence. I will write to Guru Yudhistira,” said Mengde.
As we honor, Master Yudhistira and Lord Regional Lord.
I wrote this, Cao Mengde. Along with Yuanrang and Miaocai.
Along with this letter, we need to convey a few things:
1. We managed to kill male centipedes and female centipedes. We have evidence of the heads of each centipede. With this letter also, we send evidence in the form of the left eye of each centipede.
2. We haven't killed the baby centipedes who live in the cave. Since we have not yet fully recognized the forest, the cave where the baby centipedes are located and there are two mysterious obstacles that we have encountered.
3. The first obstacle, we encountered a black-haired creature that was quite strange. We ourselves doubt classify whether the creature is a human or a savage monster. Because it looks like the hairy thing has intelligence. If it is a monster, the black-haired creature must have directly pounced on us. But in fact, it even observed us who were fighting against centipedes.
4. The second obstacle, in the cave, we encountered two strange humans. Very pale skin, yellow eyes and fanged. When we attacked them, they immediately ran into the depths of the cave.
5. We hope, no one comes here because we have not dared to make sure that this forest is completely safe. We also pleaded with the teacher to provide information about the two mysterious creatures we were encountering.
Thus the information we convey, Guru Yudhistira and the Honorable Ruler of the Region.
“Two fanged humans earlier .. reminded me of Jiangshi,” said Miaocai.
“No, the two fanged people were not Jiangshi,” said Mengde, “Jiangshi was stiff and jumped. They were running.”
“There is also a possibility. For example, Jiangshi who detached from her witch and moved wildly,” Yuanrang said.
Jiangshi is an undead jumping in Chinese legends and folklore. They are usually depicted as stiff corpses, moving by jumping and jumping and with outstretched arms. Their food is qi or chi energy or commonly referred to as life force. Generally, Jiangshi is active at night. During the day, they were in coffins or hiding in dark places like caves.
Jiangshi has been around for a long time. It was created by magic practitioners who harness the energy of the ghost world. Jiangshi is indeed only “wadah” empty. “This empty Wadah” is filled with ghosts and curious spirits so that the body can move. To silence the Jiangshis, witches usually use spell paper attached to the foreheads of the Jiangshis. One magician is very likely to control more than one Jiangshi. Depends on the power of the witch. Because if a weak magician forces himself to control many Jiangshi at once, then the risk of Jiangshi will turn to attack the witch. The magic of controlling Jiangshi has been around since time immemorial. Some say it existed during the Shang Dynasty. Some say it's already in the Xia Dynasty. I don't know, Mengde and the others don't know for sure either.
After packing the letter and the hill, Mengde gave it to Xing Lian, “Thank you for your help, Xing Lian. Be careful. On the streets there are bandits and robbers. The news that this village has been abandoned will invite looters here. As much as possible, you should arrive at the evacuation site before sunset.”
“Quiet, I brought a horse, kok,” said Xing Lian, “Happy way, swordsman.”
After Xing Lian left, the warriors came up with a strategy and planned a trap. Not forgetting to plan your sleep schedule. So that later tonight, if anyone shows up, whether bandits or monsters, can be better prepared to fight. In addition, they made several alternative escape routes. Just in case things get out of control.
At night, a man approached the village. He wears the typical village clothes and wears a veil. Statures a little burly. On his left side carried a sword. When he entered the north end, his lips fell. There's only darkness here. All the residents have left. I don't know what's on his mind. Obviously, not something noble. He continued his steps into the village. Looking to the right and left. I don't know what he's watching. The right hand gripped the handle of the sword tightly. Prepare to cut whatever comes up.
In the middle of the village, his steps suddenly stopped. Because the sense of smell detects something. Sneaking the air a few times. There's someone here. No. gabe. More precisely, there is more than one. There was a smell mixed in the air. Making the man in distress conclude how many people are here.
This man unsheathed the omen sword ready to fight. He then approached the house on his left side. As if not thinking of anything, he immediately kicked the door of the house several times. Because there was no response, just broke down the door made of wood. He went in and explored the house. At first, he found no one. Before he entered the room with the door open.
In this room, the mysterious man found someone who was sleeping quietly. The face of the man is not clear because it is too dark. It is also protected by a blanket. In his mind, he wondered. How could this man sleep well? The door opened with a loud voice. Whatever. This mysterious man raised his sword high to decapitate this deep-sleeping person.
Not yet had time to swing the sword, the sword that was in the corner of the room floated itself and tore the mysterious man's wrist. The mysterious man looked back. The sword just pierced the wall. Thinking that this was a ghost, the mysterious man came out of the room limping.
“Now, what are you going to do, asshole?” a voice came from inside the room.
From inside the room, Yuanrang came out with a sword in his hand. From the beginning, he had been wearing battle clothes as well. Indeed, the attack at night was anticipated by three warriors. Though the reality was not as they expected.
“Huh, bandits huh?” Yuanrang.
“You ... just a rancid boy ..” said the mysterious man.
This mysterious man instantly slashed a sword at Yuanrang's neck. However, the sword attack was successfully repelled and diverted by Yuanrang. The mysterious man leaned to Yuanrang's left because of his own thrust. Yuanrang landed his knees into the stomach of the mysterious man. The mysterious man is still trying to fight back. Yuanrang's sword escaped from his grasp. Still trying to attack Yuanrang, the mysterious man swung the sword again. No need for weapons and no need for metal control, Yuanrang caught the wrist of the mysterious man. Punch after punch struck the face of the mysterious man until he was pressed to the door. Still trying to attack, but the fist just now also managed to brushed off Yuanrang. At the end of the attack, Yuanrang twisted his body and landed a kick right into the stomach of the mysterious man until it crashed into the street. He heard his voice coughing blood.
The sword that had fallen on the floor floated back into Yuanrang's grasp. Yuanrang then walked out the door and looked at the bandit who was coughing up blood. Not directly killing because Yuanrang was still confused. Should these bandits be killed or captured?
“Only because all the villagers have left, you dare to loot alone huh?” yuanrang said, “Do you really think that there is really no one here?”
“For the size of a teenager,” said the mysterious man who started to stand up, “It turns out you were great too, huh? Which college are you from?”
“Who is your teacher?”
“Kuteitemask again. Whether the name of the college or the name of my teacher, there is no point in telling you.”
“Quiet, bandit,” said Yuanrang, “I won't kill you.”
“What did you let me live for? Are you the hero who will hand me over to the local ruler for trial? Don't be a cop, kid!”
“I'll arrest you and interrogate you. There's no way you're just gonna tell me?”
Suddenly, the mysterious man ran over and stabbed Yuanrang. Yuanrang jumped backwards and crouched down. He picked up a rock and threw it from below. The mysterious man rolled to the left. Replying to Yuanrang by throwing stones. Just like Yuanrang's way just now. From a squatting position, Yuanrang immediately got down. The stone floated above the body.
In a dark situation like this, Yuanrang should not be rash. Illumination is only aided by the full moon light. This is very minimal for vision. Which means it's very risky.
To finish faster, Yuanrang whistled three times. This is a signal for Miaocai and Mengde. Which means the ambush begins. From the window of a house, an arrow shot. But the attack just missed. The mysterious man who was unaware of the attack just now, immediately sighed out of luck.
From inside the house, come out Mengde and Miaocai. Mengde moved behind the enemy. Surrounding him with Yuanrang. While Miaocai disappeared behind the darkness. Staking out enemies and showering them with arrows from afar.
“Don't kill him, Miaocai! We need information from him!” yell Yuanrang.
“You didn't give up?” said Mengde, “Easy for us to beat you now. One against three. Besides, you're not wearing a battle suit while the three of us are wearing it.”
Spreading fire to the streets to make it brighter. It also makes it easier for Miaocai to take aim from the darkness of the night. He tried his best not to hit the house. Because there are some houses made of wood and bamboo.
“Rush and tell me from the herd which bandit you are! Tell me where's your base of operations?” Yuanrang.
“Redy? Make what? After you interrogate me, you will also definitely kill me, right?” ask the mystery man.
“No! We will hand you over to the local ruler!” said Mengde, “We won't kill you!”
“Oh court?” said the mysterious man, “You guys play police-policing, yes?”
The mysterious man took something from the clothes. Yuanrang and Mengde were instantly on guard. Who knows if he's got a throwing knife. Then the mysterious man stuffed whatever was taken into his mouth. Yuanrang and Mengde's defense loosened again due to a wrong thought.
“What are you doing?” Yuanrang smiled, “Do you want to have dinner first before trying to defeat the three of us? Yes already. It'sit's okay. I'll give you a chance.”
Mysterious man swallows what he eats, “You boys .. I can beat the three of you! You'll be sorry for making fun of me.”
Yuanrang was even more broken, “Even you can't fight me, bandit! Don't get sok!”
Suddenly, the man immediately ran over to Yuanrang and swung the sword from above. With good reflexes, Yuanrang's right hand tightly grasped the sword and his left hand held the sword's back. Positioning horizontal bar. As soon as the sword of the mysterious man swung and hit Yuanrang's sword eye, Yuanrang instead pressed back one step.
Still unfinished, Yuanrang positioned the sword vertically. The sword swung to Yuanrang's right side. The second attack felt stronger than before. Yuanrang until shifted one and a half steps.
A third attack appeared as well, the mysterious man swung from the bottom up. With the horizontal sword position as well, Yuanrang held on. The third attack was stronger than the second. Even Yuanrang's sword was raised upwards.
The fourth attack, with a vertical slash from top to bottom. Repeating like a first attack. Yuanrang held back again. The fourth attack pressure was stronger than the third attack. Even Yuanrang took two steps back.
The fifth attack was no longer with weapons. This time with a spinning kick that begins the trick movement. Yuanrang who had been deceived, had already positioned the sword above. Counting the fifth strike of the sword attack again. The kick just now was very strong. Despite already wearing a battle suit, Yuanrang could feel a harsh pressure. He was thrown ten steps. What a tremendous blow.
The mysterious man would run forward to kill Yuanrang. However, he instead retreated from looking at the black figure at the top of the house. Miaocai arrows only hit the ground. After the archery, Miaocai disappeared again into the darkness. The mysterious man will start attacking again. However, again he had to undo the intention because there were ice thorns in front of him.
Mengde advanced with five fireballs and a sword that was already on fire. The sound of Mengde's stomping made the mysterious man turn his back. Mengde swung the sword and the mysterious man was also the same. The sound of metal clashing sounded fierce. However, it was Mengduk who was instead pushed down due to the pressure of the mysterious man. Even the back of the sword almost hit the face.
“Be careful, Mengde!” yell Yuanrang, “He's stronger than ever!”
“It's good to be careful, Son!” mysterious man says, “Better listen to your friend just now!”
Not if you're not smart. Mengde blew away the fire that enveloped the sword. The flames instantly burned the front of the mysterious man's body. Surprised, the mysterious man attacked Mengde at random. All the movements he made while trying to put out the fire from the clothes. Whatever origin Mengde away.
“True. The pressure does tend to be abnormal for an adult human,” said Mengde, “But, as long as he is more stupid than me, it doesn't matter.”
“Fucking boy!!” snapped the mysterious man, “Tak need not be long again.”
Mysterious man opens the veil. Showing her teeth full of fangs. Some visible body parts also began to grow black feathers that are very familiar.
