Chapter Eight: A Small Village in the Deep Mountains
The dark night made Makina gradually slow down her pace, and she followed the traces for who knows how long. She didn't encounter any other monsters along the way.
This made Makina feel a little strange.
It stands to reason that monsters would come out to look for food more frequently at night, and they would be more ferocious and keen at this time.
I have been away from the safe world for so long, and apart from the corpse of the back-thorned wild boar and several nests of small back-thorned wild pigs in a cave, I have not encountered a single demon.
Although this is a good thing, I still feel that things are a little unusual.
Forget it, there's no point thinking about this.
His back was already dripping with sweat, his clothes were soaked with sweat, and his backpack was probably soaked, but Makina didn't stop.
Instead, he used the back stab as a crutch and continued walking in the dark.
When he saw the bright fire in the dark night, Makina knew that he should have found it.
Standing on the top of the mountain and looking in the direction of the light, Makina was stunned.
Extremely shocked inside.
There is actually a village on the other side of the mountain!!!
There are more than a dozen ancient wooden houses, all made of extremely thick tree trunks. The houses are lined up row upon row. In front of the houses is an open space much larger than a football field.
In addition, there is a huge fence more than ten meters high, with several people surrounding the thick tree trunk, surrounding the small village.
Many torches were placed in various places in the village, and some were lit with blazing fires on iron pots, lighting up the entire village.
What shocked Makina the most was that there were now more than twenty monsters of various sizes fighting in the field, which was wider than a football field.
There are two commander-level demons further away!!!
Their huge bodies collided fiercely in the distance.
It is far away from the village and even further away from Makina, but it gives Makina an extremely shocking visual and spiritual impact.
This powerful aura is simply intimidating.
It's really too strong.
Even though they were far away, Makina still felt the intimidating power of the two figures fighting in the moonlight. If his soul power was not strong and his willpower was not firm, he might not be able to stand.
When you really face the monster, you really need a certain amount of courage.
"Huh~~~!"
Taking a deep breath, Makina adjusted her condition as quickly as possible, and then cautiously approached the brightly lit stockade.
Avoiding the area where the monsters were fighting, Makina put her backpack on the tree trunk, then sneaked around to the other side and climbed up the fence made of the huge tree trunk.
Standing at a high place, Makina could see more clearly with the help of the firelight in the square.
Wu Jin and Senior Sister Qi were tied to wooden stakes. The person in front of them among the crowd was the person they were tracking before, Jiang Ming.
Next to Jiang Ming are several large bags, which should be filled with supplies purchased previously.
These bags are very large, and the supplies inside are enough for this group of people to use for at least a month.
After scanning and searching for a long time, Makina didn't find the three magicians who appeared later, and...the people in this group, old, young, women and children, showed no fear at all when they watched the monsters fighting in front of them.
There were a few young adults who seemed to be directing something.
Among the monsters that were fighting, Makina saw several back-thorned wild pigs. They should be the fathers of the small litters of back-thorned wild pigs that he brought to the No. 1 breeding space.
They just gathered here.
It seems that I didn't meet any demons on the way here, so they probably gathered here.
Now how to do?
Regarding this village full of doubts, Makina didn't know what to do now.
The three magicians were missing and were not among the crowd. They were probably lurking somewhere, watching all this like themselves.
The performance of the villagers in these villages in fighting demons also revealed that these people are not simple.
But even though they clearly felt like ordinary people, they gave Makina an indescribable feeling.
All this made Makina not know what to do for a while.
As a high-level mage, Senior Sister Qi Wanwan was caught. There must be a stronger mage than Senior Sister Qi among them!
We must think of a foolproof strategy!!!
The battle between the demons and demons in the square was still fierce, and something seemed to be emitting aura in their center.
That seems to be why the demons fight.
What it is specifically, Mu Ming cannot say.
But I'm pretty sure that thing should be a treasure that contains a lot of energy.
"Huh? That's the breath of magic!"
Makina, who had strong soul power, suddenly felt that there were magic fluctuations in the direction where the two commander-level demons were fighting in the distance.
And it’s still a very strong magic wave!
Here you can also see the two leader demons with bodies as huge as high-rise buildings, a mountain-moving beast wearing thick armor, and a long-tusked demon mammoth.
The two sides were originally evenly matched, but the magic fluctuations occurred continuously for less than half a minute, and the mountain-moving beast gradually fell into a disadvantage.
"Just now, at least two high-level mages were attacking the mountain-moving beast with all their strength. Now the mountain-moving beast is getting more and more injured. The fanged demon mammoth is going to win." Makina judged the outcome.
Although the high-level magic just now did not cause the mountain-moving beast to be fatal, it did allow the fanged demon to take advantage of it.
If there is a chance, the fanged demon mammoth will definitely cause serious damage to the mountain-moving beast.
Even if there is no magic interference now, it is only a matter of time that the mountain-moving beast will be defeated.
"The patron saint actually fell into a disadvantage. How is this possible? How is it possible???"
Among the villagers who looked indifferent, a white-haired old man suddenly screamed. His voice was very loud and spread throughout the square.
This made Makina a little curious.
These people are not mages. Their sight should be blocked in the square, and they should not be able to see the mountain-moving beast fall into a disadvantage.
It is even more impossible to perceive it.
A commander-level battle will indeed have a strong aftermath, but the distance between the two battles is obviously very far. Even if the moon is very bright today, it is impossible for these people to have clairvoyance.
The tenfold increase in one's soul power will not only increase the speed of cultivation, but also double the other sensory abilities. It is easy to detect these.
It's impossible for these people to be like this.
The old man's words seemed to be very credible, and everyone else's expressions changed after hearing it, and their previous calmness completely disappeared.
"Did something happen to the God of Patron?"
"Clan leader, are you sure this is true?"
"How could the patron saint be defeated?" A young man asked in disbelief.
That is the patron god they worship so much. The patron saint has been passed down for more than a hundred years, protecting the village from demons and allowing them to live outside the safe world.
How could it be possible to lose?!
The villagers began to get restless, and Makina saw everything.
At present, Wu Jin and Senior Sister Qi should not be injured at all. They are also looking at the group of villagers who suddenly panicked.
Treating the leader-level mountain-moving beetle as a patron saint should be their biggest reliance on surviving outside the Anjie.
Thinking about it, this is also the case. If there is no stronger monster leading it, the leader-level monsters all have their own territory.
Other demon invasions are vulnerable to attack.
If the mountain-moving beast is really willing to protect the entire village, then it is indeed possible for these people to survive outside.
"That Jiang Ming is a liar. He plotted all this against you. He also has accomplices!!!" Wu Jin yelled at the villagers, "Get out of here quickly. It is no longer safe here. Your patron saint will be destroyed."
Jiang Ming’s accomplices used the fang demon to kill him!”
Wu Jin's voice was loud, but no one paid attention to him.
"Give up." Qi Wanwan said with a bitter smile.
Even if she has consumed her magic energy now, she has no chance to meditate to recover her magic energy.
As long as he calms down, he will be disturbed by this group of deceived villagers, making it impossible for him to meditate and recover.
"If you don't believe what we say, you will die. You will die here. Although I don't know what their purpose is, you will die here if this continues!" Wu Jin can't control that much.
If these people don't wake up, it will really be too late.
