The high cliff, the precipice, the survival after the disaster, should have been something worth celebrating.
However, Kong Zhongwu knelt on the ground, his body trembling as he let out a roar of grief and indignation.
He thought that this would be the last thing that could be called a bright thing in his life, to end this ridiculous and sad life in a not ugly way. However, he did not expect that it would become a nightmare that would make him unable to die in peace. He originally wanted to get rid of this terrifying monster and do a good deed for the people of the surrounding villages, but he did not expect that … he would push the people of the village into a situation of certain death.
"I can't ask for it, I can't ask for it … Hahaha, hahahaha …" He suddenly laughed wildly. "When I was young, I wanted to get rid of evil and promote good, but I couldn't. After I became rich, I wanted to be content with what I had, but I couldn't.
Before I died, I wanted to die with dignity and no regrets, but I couldn't!
Hahahaha, my life is really a big joke!
In the end, what I wanted, I didn't get anything!
I didn't get anything!
I didn't get anything! "
He laughed wildly with tears in his eyes as if he was crazy. His eyes gradually became fierce as he shouted, "What if I want to die?!"
The farmer was shocked when he suddenly saw Kong Zhongwu grab a bunch of vines on the edge of the cliff and jump down!
Without thinking, he rushed forward and grabbed Kong Zhongwu's arm. "What are you doing?"
He grabbed Kong Zhongwu's arm and hung him on the edge of the cliff. Below him was a height that could turn a person into meat paste. If the farmer's hand slipped, Kong Zhongwu would be smashed into pieces. However, even if his life was hanging by a thread, Kong Zhongwu still did not show any fear. Instead, he shouted, "Let me go!"
How could the farmer let him go?
He said concisely, "What are you doing?"
Kong Zhongwu's eyes flashed with madness. "This happened because of me. I'm a dying man, but before I die, I killed an innocent village. Even the King of Hell won't forgive me!
The only thing I can do now is to go down the mountain while I'm still alive and stop that monster. I'll try my best to buy time for the villagers to escape!
Now that the situation is critical, it's too late to find a way down the mountain!
Although the cliff here is steep, there are still vines, rocks, and rocks that can be used as leverage. If I go down the mountain quickly, I might still be able to make it!
Even if I can only save one, my life is worth it!
Let me go!
It's almost too late! "
The farmer said slowly, "This is too dangerous. You will die."
Kong Zhongwu closed his eyes and hissed, "Then let me die."
The farmer hesitated for a moment, then reached out and pulled a few vines from the side. He quickly twisted them together with one hand, then extended it in front of Kong Zhongwu's eyes. He calmly said, "Hold on. Although we are strong and have good hearing, and although there are vines and rocks on the cliff that we can borrow strength from, this place has been exposed to wind and rain all year round. Some of the rocks are loose and decayed. Once you step on them recklessly, you will die.
Two people are always safer than one when doing this kind of thing. Grab this rope, I'll pull you, you jump down and find a stable footing. Then pull me down and swing me down to find a new footing … It's safer this way. "
Kong Zhongwu shook his head. "This is a suicide mission. Why do you have to accompany me? Moreover, Fourth Sister-in-law risked her life to save you. You should work hard to survive. Let me go."
"I also don't know what I should do … If I can save someone before I die, it's not in vain."
When the farmer mentioned Fourth Sister-in-law, a little tenderness appeared in his eyes. The corner of his mouth gently lifted, and he smiled rarely. He said softly, "As for Fourth Sister-in-law, she definitely won't blame me. Moreover, I also want … to see her again as soon as possible."
After that, his face darkened. "Do you still want to waste time here?
It's almost too late! "
Kong Zhongwu gritted his teeth and grabbed the vines that the farmer passed to him. He wrapped them around his waist and then jumped down.
Not long after, the farmer heard Kong Zhongwu's shout. He grabbed the other part of the vines and jumped down without hesitation. Kong Zhongwu loudly pointed at the place where he could use the vines to land. Both of them were brilliant warriors. Their strength and agility were different from ordinary people. Moreover, they had already disregarded life and death, so they fell very quickly. It was simply playing with their lives. High risk meant high efficiency. Bamboo Mountain was not too high. Not long after, they actually climbed down all the way!
Below them was a gentle slope. The two of them slid down the slope with rocks and strong grass. Their feet finally landed on the ground. The farmer moved his somewhat weak limbs. His weak body was filled with strength again. Before he could take a breath, Kong Zhongwu had already rushed forward like a whirlwind. Not far away was the meat patty that the monster had fallen down. A long trail of blood was dragged forward. A terrible monster was approaching the defenseless people.
Kong Zhongwu used his body movement skill to the extreme. The scenery on both sides quickly receded. He gritted his teeth and quickly rushed forward along the trail of blood. The village in front of him was faintly visible, but the grass was growing and everywhere was covered. He did not know where the terrible monster had climbed to. Perhaps at this time the village was already a scene of Asura. But even so … perhaps there were still people who were not killed, waiting for him, waiting for him …
He roared and crazily rushed forward along the path beside the field. He opened his eyes wide and looked for traces of the enemy as he ran. Suddenly, he saw something in front of him. He saw that in the river flowing to the side of the village, a wet black shadow suddenly climbed out!
"Thief, you dare!"
He roared and lowered his body. He picked up a rock from the ground and took a few steps forward. He roared and used all his strength into his right arm and threw the rock out!
This flying rock was filled with internal energy. It was fast and fierce. With a loud bang, it hit the monster's head and knocked it far away. But in the end, the distance was too far and the power was limited. It did not seem to have hurt it too much.
The monster roared angrily but it did not turn around to look at Kong Zhongwu. It was an extremely cunning monster. It knew what the most important thing was. It greedily searched for a moment and then let out a happy roar. Then, it wobbled and plunged into the cowshed of the people at the side of the village.
In the cowshed, the frightened and uneasy cries of the cattle could be heard. In the farming economy, the cattle were a family treasure. It was the most important production tool and even productivity for a rural family. So when this family heard the miserable cries of the cattle, they did not hesitate to pick up the farm tools and rushed to the cowshed. Then, they saw the most terrifying scene they had ever seen in their lives.
A bloody, squirming mass of flesh made up of a large number of corpses wrapped around the lower half of the cattle. It kept squirming and swallowing. It was disgusting and terrifying.
A few green tentacles silently stretched out and curled around the necks of a few humans.
The women who followed behind let out miserable cries and screams like pigs being slaughtered.
The sound alarmed the villagers, and many people came out to see what was going on. However, they were frightened by this hell-like scene. Screams of horror could be heard. Whether it was cows, mules, chickens, ducks, birds, or even humans, all living things were sucked up by the monster in front of them. They were devoured and eventually became a part of its body. The monster seemed to have not eaten its fill. Its nimble tentacles kept twisting and turning, capturing all living things around it. In front of this terrible power, humans who had only practiced martial arts for a few years were really weak and not worth mentioning.
Moreover, courage sometimes lost to fear … the fear of the unknown.
The monster in front of them was not something they could understand. But this terrifying and strange creature could awaken their instinctive fear of death. People cried and ran away. Many people got up and got up again. Some carried children, some carried the elderly, and some did not care about anything else. They threw aside their cherished family and loved ones and ran away with their instincts.
"Stop!"
Kong Zhongwu finally arrived. Looking at the chaotic scene in front of him, his eyes almost popped out of their sockets. This was all caused by him, this was all his fault … Self-blame and guilt burned fiercely in his chest. He roared, forcibly raised the stone millstone by the roadside, and fiercely smashed it at the monster!
This force was much stronger than the previous one. The monster that was constantly absorbing new bodies staggered and was almost blasted in two. With this, Kong Zhongwu successfully attracted the monster's aggro. Several tentacles frantically tried to grab him. Kong Zhongwu jumped to the side and shouted at the stunned people, "Run!
Run!
Run!
Don't stay here!
Run as far as you can!
Run to Lu Town! "
In this desperate situation, a terrifying monster attacked the village. For a martial artist to appear and stop the monster, to the desperate people, it was like a heavenly soldier had descended from the heavens, bringing them hope of survival. Although the people were still in chaos and panic, running in all directions, they were no longer at a loss. Gradually, there was order … because they saw hope.
Perhaps this was … the meaning of a warrior.
Kong Zhongwu was deep in thought, but the situation did not allow him to think. The terrifying monster had already targeted him and was ready to complete its mission. At this time, the monster had already swallowed a huge and strong cow. Using the cow as the base, it formed a huge monster with four hooves. At this moment, it aimed at Kong Zhongwu and charged at him with its four hooves!
The strength of a bull was very strong. Now that it had become the monster's food and puppet, its strength would not decrease but increase. Kong Zhongwu quickly ran to the left. With a leap, he rushed to the right side of the earth wall. He ran along the wall in a ninety-degree angle for more than ten steps, avoiding the monster's terrifying attack. With a loud bang, the monster crashed into the earth wall and directly knocked down half of the house on the other side!
Stones flew and debris flipped. In the ruins, the monster roared and stood up. Kong Zhongwu gritted his teeth and thought quickly, "The body of this monster is that pile of green liquid. It has no shape, and its destructive power comes from the corpses it swallowed. As long as I destroy these corpses, I can turn it into a toothless tiger.
My ability is limited, so I can't fight it head-on. I can only use clever tactics, like before, and throw it to the ground … "
He looked at his surroundings. There was no more dangerous terrain for him to land on Earth again. Then, he turned his gaze to the houses in the village. If that was the case …
At this moment, a flame lit up in the distance. It dragged a bright flame tail in the air and rushed toward the monster. The monster let out a frightened roar and hurriedly dodged. It turned out that it was a torch. It fell among the collapsed ruins, causing the monster to let out an uneasy roar and carefully avoid it. Seeing this, Kong Zhongwu was very surprised … It was afraid of fire?
Yes … Why didn't I think of it? Its body is made of corpses. It is still made of flesh and blood. It can still be burned by fire …
He looked up and saw the farmer standing not far away. He was holding a torch in one hand and a steel fork in the other. He said in a low voice, "This beast is afraid of fire!
Go and find some kerosene! "
Kong Zhongwu was surprised to see a chance of survival in a hopeless situation. He rushed directly to a house that looked more prosperous, kicked open the door, and rushed into the kitchen. He rummaged through the boxes and cabinets to find the kerosene. The monster was very smart. It seemed to realize that the two of them had found a magic weapon to restrain it. In anxiety, it ignored everything and directly rushed toward Kong Zhongwu!
Kong Zhongwu heard the rumbling outside and the farmer's warning. He jumped out of the window with a jar of kerosene. In an instant, the monster rushed in with its four hooves. The pillars and walls of the house collapsed. Kong Zhongwu looked back and exchanged a glance with the farmer. Then, he shouted and threw the jar of kerosene at the monster while it was shaking off the broken beams and stones on its body!
With a bang, the jar shattered. The kerosene inside splashed all over the monster. On the other side, the farmer waved the torch in his hand like a meteor. With a bang, he threw the torch at the monster!
The kerosene attached to the corpse. The flame ignited the kerosene, and the fire roasted the corpse. All the environments were suitable for burning. The strong fire exploded in an instant, and the monster let out an earth-shattering roar of pain!
Kong Zhongwu saw this and cried out in surprise, "That green liquid … is being evaporated by the fire!
This method is effective!
I'll go look for … "
Before he could finish his sentence, the monster turned its head to look at him. With a roar, it charged at him again. What was even worse was that although the flames were damaging the monster's body, when it ran, it was like a flaming behemoth. It was majestic and unstoppable. Kong Zhongwu was alarmed as he hurriedly dodged. When the farmer saw this, he rushed into another house. Not long after, he ran out with a sinister smile and raised his earthen jar high before smashing it at Kong Zhongwu like a meteor chasing after the moon!
Boom!
The flames burned once again, constantly roasting the dead flesh, emitting crackling sounds. The monster seemed to think that this was nothing. Helpless, it rolled to the ground and rolled twice. However, the flames were already set. The beef was about to be seventy percent cooked, so how could it allow the fire to be extinguished?
Helpless, the burning monster's green body fluid constantly flowed. With a tremble of its body, many Stealth Rats' corpses fell to the ground with burning embers. When Kong Zhongwu saw this, he shouted, "It's abandoning the rook to save the king!
Shake off the burning corpses to extinguish the fire … Continue throwing!
Let's see how many corpses it can use! "
At this time, the Farmer was holding another can of flammable items. The corner of his mouth revealed a sinister smile as he used his attributes to suppress the Boss. For a moment, he actually felt that the taste of setting fire was so wonderful. He raised the can high up and prepared to cast another Fireball. But in the next moment, his face changed dramatically!
The jar in his hand fell to the ground with a thud.
He stared blankly at the burning monster not far away. It was constantly shaking off the burning corpses to prevent the flames from spreading.
Therefore, he also saw the familiar face that suddenly appeared as the corpses burned.
It was like his worst nightmare.
"Fourth Sister-in-law …"
