Chapter 70
The wolf idol was destroyed so easily?
Xiao Tangqiu couldn’t believe his eyes, but it really was so. The wolf idol in the middle of the hall was easily shattered, not even a shard was left behind.
“What happened?”
“How did the idol break?”
“Who are you people!”
The residents of Hundred Ghosts Village who came to repay their wishes were shocked. They all saw the idol suddenly shatter before them, as well as Xiao Tangqiu’s group who were trespassing outsiders, and all of them immediately became vigilant.
The idol broke!
Xiao Tangqiu clenched the weapon in his hand and waited nervously for a while… but nothing happened.
At least nothing he imagined happened.
…What’s the situation?
The god idol was broken, but the “mountain god” was not angry. They were just surrounded by angry Hundred Ghosts Village residents. The mob was enraged and the situation was on the verge of exploding.
Although Xiao Tangqiu had been besieging zombies, he had never been besieged by so many humans. He couldn’t help but feel helpless and turned his head to ask Xue Junli, “What should we do now?”
Xue Junli’s eyes darkened, “Slaughter a path out, talk after we make it out.”
Xiao Tangqiu felt a bit uncomfortable. He was naturally unrelenting in killing zombies, but these Hundred Ghosts Village residents at least look human…
Duan Hongzhen sneered and directly began making his moves. The throwing knives in his hands were shot out and the fiercest people who rushed to the front were immediately pierced. The attacking mob saw this and took large steps back in fear. Although they were temporarily pushed back, they still glared at Xiao Tangqiu’s group.
Among the couple of people who were cut, there was hedgehog-head whom they previously met. But hedgehog-head obviously didn’t recognize them now — or more accurately, didn’t know them yet. He viciously glared at the foreign intruders like a regular delinquent.
Xiao Tangqiu subconsciously sought the young couple in the crowd and soon found them at the edge of the crowd. Even if the young man was young and vigorous, he couldn’t rush to the front while taking care of his pregnant wife. The couple were squeezed to the edge by the angry crowd and their situation was actually worse. Although the young man desperately tried to protect his wife, she was still jostled by the crowd.
At this moment, the wife suddenly fell down.
Xiao Tangqiu’s heart jumped. Without knowing why, he had a bad premonition.
It wasn’t just bad, it’s very bad.
At this moment, Kisaragi’s expression changed, and her poker face showed a trace of fear, “The Mountain God…The Mountain God is angry!”
Right then, they were surrounded by the angry mob and had left the main hall and arrived outside. The night was still deep and within the night, hundreds of pairs of red eyes had appeared.
Xiao Tangqiu took a closer look and was shocked. The wolf statues outside had come to life! Their stone bodies slowly swelled and enlarged in the night, and red light emitted from their hollow eyes, and they came to life!
Compared with ordinary wolves, the animated stone wolves were more like zombie wolves. They seemed to be irrational and crazed, roaring and instinctively rushing towards everyone with the desire to consume!
But they didn’t just target Xiao Tangqiu’s group, they even went after the Hundred Ghosts Village residents who had devoutly worshiped them. Those residents were ecstatic at first, thinking that the mountain god who had been protecting them had appeared. But when they watched a few companions being bitten to death, they became shocked and dumbfounded. A few with fast reactions quickly turned and ran away.
“Mountain god! We have been devoutly worshiping…” Before that person could finish his words, he was torn in half by a stone wolf.
Those wolf statues had all turned into bloodthirsty stone wolves. Now those with strong faith did not dare to stay and fled in fright.
Xiao Tangqiu looked at the Miko and saw that Kisaragi was motionless, her gaze solemn and holding the longsword in her hand. As a Miko of the shrine, she naturally couldn’t go against the mountain god she worshiped devoutly… even if the mountain god had changed.
The others did not have Kisaragi’s concerns. They did not hesitate to take up their weapons to fight back. As soon as they started making their moves, they discovered an abnormality; these stone wolves were too strong! Those zombies before were simply incomparable!
These stone wolves not only possessed extremely strong fighting power, they also had extremely strong vitality. Duan Hongzhen fought one for a long time before finally killing one. However, within a few seconds of falling down, the stone wolf got up again!
Xue Junli immediately made a judgment, “It’s a low-level demon!”
Xiao Tangqiu felt a chill, finally!
Low-level demons were naturally a kind of demon, but they were called low-level demons because they were far less powerful than real demons. Compared with the born demons that are born as demons, low-level demons were usually transformed or mutated after. Their power was far less than born demons, and most of them had no self-awareness or sentience, only instinct and appetite.
Despite this, low-level demons were far stronger than ordinary players. Although they were not as powerful as born demons, they were more than powerful enough for ordinary players to cope with, not to mention a whole group of them.
After judging that they were dealing with low-level demons, the Reincarnation Team immediately cooperated together. They had gone through countless S-level instances and achieved a high degree of cooperation. They pulled out weapons and tools specially used to deal with low-level demons. Their formation had both offensive and defensive capabilities and Xue Junli stood in the middle, in charge of giving commands.
Although Xiao Tangqiu and Tang Mianmian had also received relevant training with the Reincarnation Team, their combat effectiveness was far from the level of cooperation within the Reincarnation Team team. They could only move outside the formation. Fortunately, there was Shen Yuan that couldn’t enter the formation either. The three of them wandered nearby and jointly attacked the lone Stone Wolf. To be precise, Xiao Tangqiu and Tang Mianmian were responsible for the sneak attack and Shen Yuan was responsible for staring at Xiao Tangqiu. He only took a leisurely shot when Xiao Tangqiu messed up.
This was the first time Xiao Tangqiu had faced off against low-level demons. These low-level demons were far more difficult to deal with than all the ghosts and zombies he had dealt with before. Not only did they have high attack power, they were also extremely difficult to counter. The worst thing was that they also had very powerful vitality. Killing just once or twice didn’t end them at all. A single moment of carelessness meant that he would be caught by a stone wolf. Fortunately there was still Shen Yuan behind him.
But he knew that he couldn’t rely on Shen Yuan forever. Regardless of if Shen Yuan restored his memory, in this cruel world of life and death, he couldn’t always rely on others.
If Shen Yuan restored his memory…
The thought suddenly appeared in Xiao Tangqiu’s mind. As soon as this thought appeared, he couldn’t help thinking about it. If Shen Yuan really restored his memory, he would probably change back to the cold and aloof person from before, pushing everyone away…
If Shen Yuan really restored his memory and remembered what happened during this period of amnesia, he would surely become furious? Maybe he would beat him into amnesia…
Xiao Tangqiu lost focus and almost messed up. Fortunately Shen Yuan pulled him away in time.
Shen Yuan frowned, “Jiujiu, don’t be distracted, be careful.”
Xiao Tangqiu quickly came back to his senses, “I’m sorry, I wont anymore!”
Tang Mianmian yelled, “These low-level demons are too much, right? They are even more annoying than zombies! Are we really going to fight until dawn?” Who knew when the sky would lighten up!
Xiao Tangqiu smiled helplessly, “We can only bite the bullet and fight.”
Shen Yuan looked at Xiao Tangqiu’s exhausted appearance and felt very distressed, “Is Jiujiu tired?”
Xiao Tangqiu looked at everyone still fighting, “Everyone is tired.”
Although they had recovery potions, that kind of thing could only eliminate physical fatigue. The fatigue and exhaustion in their minds caused by long-term battles couldn’t be eliminated. There were also the side effects, so they couldn’t use it constantly.
Shen Yuan took out the silver gun again and looked at Xiao Tangqiu with dark eyes, “Jiujiu, I will help too.”
Xiao Tangqiu frowned, “Don’t force yourself.”
After amnesia, Shen Yuan was stronger than before, but people with a discerning eye could also see that he was becoming more and more uncontrollable. Shen Yuan was still unable to freely control that powerful force, which lead to his uncontrollable emotions.
Shen Yuan shook his head, “Not forcing. I want to help Jiujiu.”
Tang Mianmian didn’t think so much. He just thought that it would be a good thing to have one more person to help, and he quickly breathed a sigh of relief, “Great god Shen Yuan, help me!”
As soon as Shen Yuan joined, the situation completely changed. He held a silver gun and aimed at the stone wolves one by one, both accurate and ruthless.
The stone wolves that were hit by his bullet disappeared completely after falling down. There was not even a body left.
With such a strong teammate, the pressure on Xiao Tangqiu and the others immediately became less severe. Xiao Tangqiu just breathed a sigh of relief when he suddenly heard screams from nearby.
“Ahhhhhhh!”
“Ahhhhhhh!”
Screams? Where did the screaming come from?
Just as Xiao Tangqiu was feeling puzzled, screams came again, one after another. Soon, he knew the answer: the Hundred Ghosts Village residents who had scattered ran back again, all of them covered in blood and wounds. Some even had severely injured hands and feet. They ran back here in terror and endless black smoke followed behind them.
The black smoke looked like wolves, but they were much larger and faster than the stone wolves. They quickly rushed towards the escaping crowd. Once the slow runners were surrounded by the black smoke, they would instantly dissolve into a fog of blood!
