Chapter 156 Sky Demon ([-])

Zhuo Yiming heard Jiang Yuan's question and answered:

"To be honest, Yumeng was originally from Kangcheng, but later he came to Pengcheng to make a living, so he knew about the black-winged sky demon. When did this demon start to cause trouble? Some people say it was 12 years ago, and some people said it was 20 years ago. Years ago, no one can tell the exact time. It was covered in black, with a pair of bat-like fleshy wings, and often took advantage of the night to prey on living people.

But it appears irregularly, sometimes only once in a few months, and sometimes every few days.The night patrol in Cannes City also asked for help from Wushe City, hoping to have a master to deal with this matter.But this ghost is extremely vigilant, whenever the master arrives, he disappears, and only when the master withdraws does he make trouble again.

In a small city like Cannes, there is not much money to be fished for. In addition, there are not many living people preyed by this demon every time, so the damage caused is not very serious. That's why this ghost has been raging until today. "

Jiang Yuan murmured after listening:
"It has been causing trouble for so long. In Cannes, apart from inviting experts, is there nothing to do?"

Zhuo Yiming shook his head:
"The government of Kangcheng and Xingmohai once split the rudder, and now they are in a separate altar. I made a slip of the tongue, and please forgive me. They have jointly created a weapon to deal with this black-winged sky demon. It is a kind of monster that is bigger than a bed. It is a huge crossbow, the string can only be pulled by oxen, the big iron arrow has barbs, the arrowhead is painted with the blood prepared by the night watchman, and the tail is connected to the winch by a very long iron chain."

Jiang Yuan asked:

"Does the giant crossbow work?"

Zhuo Yiming nodded and said:
"Yes! Once, when ghosts were haunting, several giant crossbows were fired at once, and a sharp arrow with an iron chain pierced the ghosts. Later, people turned the capstan to pull the ghosts hooked by the barbs from the sky. But..in the shadows, I saw the ghost pierced by a sharp arrow. It was split into two and turned into two ghosts! So I got rid of the barb and fled. Since then, I haven't appeared again for more than a year. until today."

Jiang Yuan was a little surprised when he heard this:

"One divided into two, two ghosts? That is to say. Maybe tonight, there will be another one."

The two were talking, but there was an unusual noise in the dark night.

I just heard the sound of a bell ringing in the night, and something seemed to be coming from the road.

The sound of the bell immediately caused the panic-stricken people in the rice field to exclaim even more.

Cen Lei drew out his waist saber, led two Red Tiger Altar gang members holding torches, and went up the road to investigate.

Not long after, the three of Cen Lei returned safely, and he returned with an empty one-horse carriage in his hand.

There is also a bell tied around the horse's neck, from which the sound is constantly coming out.There are still a lot of blood left on the horse's body, but the blood does not come from the horse itself.

And the roof of the carriage seemed to be torn apart by something, and the inner wall of the carriage was stained with a large amount of shocking red blood and minced meat.

It didn't take long for someone to recognize the carriage:

"That's the carriage of the Cloth Merchant King's house!"

Then someone shouted:

"Didn't Boss Wang drive away towards Pengcheng just now? Why did his horse pull the cart appear here? Could it be?"

Looking at the flesh and blood in the carriage, everyone had a bad premonition in their hearts. Those who fled towards Pengcheng might have already been hunted and killed by demons.

At the same time, they were glad that they chose to stay, otherwise, if they fled to Pengcheng, they would inevitably end up like this.

Seeing this scene, Jiang Yuan frowned:
"Could it be that the ghost gave up the living people left on the rice field and turned to kill the living people who fled to Pengcheng? Did it want to kill the escaped people first and then prey on the left ones; or did it sense something and dare not Show up at the paddy field”

If it's the former, maybe it's okay, if it's the latter, maybe Jiang Yuan just waited here for nothing.

After hesitating for a while, Jiang Yuan decided to wait and see.

Time passed slowly, and the night was already deep.

However, the ghost never reappeared, and the people in the rice field were not sleepy in the panic.

Jiang Yuan had begun to lose his patience, he stood up and said:

"Let's go, head to Cannes!"

For such a long time, if the ghosts had wanted to do something, they would have appeared long ago, and there has been no response until now. I am afraid that the ghosts really discovered something and gave up predation on the rice field.

Facing such a flying and vigilant ghost, Jiang Yuan's desire to hunt and kill it seems unrealistic at this time, and it would be a waste of time to stay here any longer.

Following Jiang Yuan's order, the people in the rice field started commotion again.

Jiang Yuan said coldly:

"Whoever is willing to go together can follow, and whoever is willing to stay is free to do so."

Afterwards, the members of Chihutan got back on their horses and escorted Jiang Yuan's carriage away slowly.

The two little girls were also arranged by Jiang Yuan to ride in a carriage with him. At this time, the ghost's whereabouts are unknown, and they may encounter accidents if they leave rashly.

As Jiang Yuan and other people from Star Demon Sea left, the rest of the people in the paddy field also began to hesitate.

Some villagers are lucky, just think that the ghost has eaten and left, and will not reappear.

And more people chose to leave with Jiang Yuan. They followed Jiang Yuan's carriage in their carriages. Only by following Jiang Yuan could they be safe.

The long convoy gradually moved forward along the road to Cannes. In this dark night, the night wind was getting stronger on the empty road.

The carriage had not been on the night road for half an hour, and soon some damaged and unowned carriages appeared on the road ahead.

These carriages seemed to have been severely damaged, and there was a strong smell of blood in them.

The horses pulling the carts had already scattered the carts on the roadside grass, gnawing the grass on the ground with their heads down.

Everyone's heart sank. It seemed that those who fled to the direction of Cannes were also killed.

On this road, no matter which way you flee, you have already been killed by ghosts, and only by following Jiang Yuan can you live until now.

Some people even began to worry about the people who stayed on the rice field. With Jiang Yuan's departure, the ghosts might return at any time.

The gang members of Xingmohai received Jiang Yuan's order and ignored the carriages scattered around, but continued to move forward.

However, some people who followed Jiang Yuan's carriage got out of the carriage to investigate, and found nothing but blood and pieces of flesh that could be seen everywhere.

In the spacious carriage, two little girls, Li Siyan and Chen Yin, huddled in Jiang Yuan's arms in horror, pricking up their ears to listen to the movement outside the carriage, for fear that there would be any unusual noises.

Jiang Yuan patted their petite bodies and said:
"Be with foster father, don't be afraid."

Chen Yin's small hands tightly grasped Jiang Yuan's clothes, and said in a low voice:

"Father, I'm not afraid."

Even though she said that, her trembling voice betrayed her.

And Li Siyan raised her head buried in Jiang Yuan's chest, and looked at Jiang Yuan nervously with her big eyes open:

"Father, will you throw us away? Just like when you were on a boat, throwing people into the river to attract ghosts"

Jiang Yuan frowned when he heard this, and he slowed down his tone:

"Did I abandon you while on the boat?"

The two little girls shook their heads at the same time.

Jiang Yuan patted them and said:

"Then I won't either."

The two little girls huddled in Jiang Yuan's arms, but they gradually felt a strong sense of security in their hearts.

The convoy was winding along the road, and an hour had passed, and in two more hours, it would be able to reach Cannes.

People's suspended hearts gradually relaxed, and it seemed that everything had begun to become peaceful.

However, in the night sky, something happened again.

Jiang Yuan, who was inside the carriage, suddenly had a sharp look in his eyes, and with the two little girls in his arms, he broke through the inner wall of the carriage and jumped onto the road outside.

As soon as Jiang Yuan jumped out, the horse pulling the cart suddenly neighed in pain, then stumbled and fell to the ground, rolling to the side of the road with the cart.

This kind of situation kept happening in the convoy, and the horses neighed in pain, and then fell down one after another.

The people in the carriage were thrown to the point of crying, and some of them were beaten to death.

There were bursts of screams among the gang members of the Scarlet Tiger Altar in the Star Demon Sea. People kept falling off their horses, and then the horses under their crotches also fell to the ground.

Jiang Yuan raised his head to look at the night sky, and the faint feeling of ghosts flashed by.

Anger began to rise in his heart, this ghost was determined to fight against him.

One after another screams happened on the road, and people looked around in horror, but they didn't see any ghosts, and they didn't know where they were attacked.

Cen Lei took some surviving guards to guard Jiangyuan, looking around nervously.

The attack came suddenly and went quickly, and everything seemed to calm down.

Jiang Yuan came to the corpse of the horse pulling the cart and pulled out a piece of something from the horse's neck.

Cen Lei took a look, took a breath and said:
"Bones! Human bones!"

In Jiang Yuan's hand, there was a hand bone that still had blood stains on it. The bone was bitten so sharply that it looked like the tip of a spear.

Only a dozen gang members survived, and they all ran towards the surroundings under Cen Lei's fall.

When they returned, they had many such sharp bones in their hands.I only heard Cen Lei say:
"All the horses were killed by this hidden weapon, and many people were killed or injured."

Jiang Yuan glanced at the sky and said coldly:

"Shoot this bone from the sky, the target is the horse, what do you want to do, delay our progress?"

In the sky, the sound of flapping wings could be faintly heard, but the figure of the ghost in the night could not be seen.

Apparently this ghost has already locked on the target, hovering in the sky waiting for an opportunity.

Jiang Yuan threw away the bone in his hand and continued:
"Let's keep going! Don't worry about the others!"

He had already faintly begun to feel that this demon must have discovered his existence, so he was afraid and did not dare to land and hunt him down.

It doesn't matter whether it uses methods such as shooting horses to hinder the speed of others from escaping, or whether it has other purposes.

The purpose of my trip is to hunt down ghosts, and it is difficult to solve this flying ghost for a while.

Although Jiang Yuan was angry in his heart, he also knew that if the ghost dared not land, there would be no result if he continued to fight with it.It's better to arrive in Kangcheng earlier and hunt down the ghosts in the ancient temples deep in the mountains.

So everyone from Star Demon Sea gathered together and began to walk along the road.

Seeing this scene, the rest of the people hastily supported the injured and hurriedly followed.At this time, they could only walk on their legs. If they left Jiang Yuan, they would be the only ones who died.
