#130 - In? Look at the legs (order required)
"What kind of sword is it? A young hero's golden sword. What kind of saber is it? A great hero's gentle saber. What kind of person are they? People who act on behalf of Heaven."
In the darkness of the night, Duan Yun sat on a hillside, humming a song while holding his sword and saber.
His experience searching for White Socks was not going smoothly, especially in this mountainous and watery Yuzhou, which was even more unfriendly to an out-of-town young hero.
Duan Yun encountered some living people today, but they were all disaster victims.
Not only were they not wearing white socks, some were not even wearing pants.
Tonight there was a moon, and a cold wind blew through the mountains. Below the hillside, the river water rolled, and the moonlight blurred with the shadows of the pine trees along the riverbank.
This was originally a beautiful scene.
However, Duan Yun was not in the mood to appreciate it.
He had not yet found White Socks, nor had he killed White Socks.
The road was under his feet, and he had to continue moving forward.
The disaster-stricken area was much larger than he had imagined, and the terrain was complex.
White Socks was sneaky and had not revealed any trace for a while.
Duan Yun once again regretted not bringing the goddess detective Su Lizhi with him.
Well, even if she didn't want to come, he, as a young hero, should be a little tougher, slightly forcing her to come along.
When it comes to being partners in justice, how could a goddess detective refuse?
Besides, the night is long, and having a goddess detective with him, even if they were groping in the dark, they would be doing it together.
Now, he didn't even have a donkey, let alone groping in the dark with a goddess detective.
"Ouch."
After a while, Duan Yun still found a partner for justice.
His foot stepped into the grass, and a snake attacked him.
This snake was about three feet long, with a green body and a triangular head, looking a bit venomous.
"Hmm, this is a Green Dart Snake, right?"
Duan Yun grabbed the snake, tied it into a knot, wrapped it around his waist, and wondered.
The venomous snake tried to bite him along the way, but was repelled by his protective sword aura, and fine bloodshot eyes appeared on its head.
After several attempts, the snake was already too scared to attack, wanting to curl up, but Duan Yun tied it to his waist.
So Duan Yun felt that the snake skin belt was a little tighter.
Under the moonlight, even though the flood had receded, the traces left behind were obvious.
Duan Yun's head, filled with astonishing wisdom, turned and analyzed, "The corpses in the flood were so dense before, they must have a place to dump the bodies, and this flood came so suddenly and without warning. If it was man-made, it is very likely that someone deliberately breached a large-scale dammed lake."
"Even that section of the blocked river mouth, someone must have tampered with it long ago."
So Duan Yun's gaze quickly followed the flood traces towards the mountains.
The higher he went, the more obvious the scouring marks formed by the water flow became.
There was originally no road on the mountain, and weeds and wild trees grew among the rocks.
With a snap, Duan Yun picked up his "partner for justice" and whipped it, and the thorns and miscellaneous trees blocking the road were cleared away.
The Green Dart Snake shattered the thorns, but it was also seriously injured, its skin torn and flesh mangled, leaving only half its life.
The next moment, Duan Yun stood there dumbfounded.
He saw a huge trace.
In this trace, the most common thing was reddish wet mud, interspersed with some broken miscellaneous trees and weeds, as well as many corpses.
In the night, this huge trace was like a bloody wound on the mountain.
And the corpses in the wound were dying with grievances.
Some of them had half of their bodies wrapped in the mud, and some were covered in wet mud, like sculptures.
Under the moonlight, the way they opened their eyes seemed like they were struggling to crawl out of the mud, which was both pitiful and terrifying.
The air was filled with a fishy smell, and Duan Yun knew that he was very close to the place where the corpses were being dug up.
The deep valley, the upper part of which was covered with grass and trees, was verdant even in this late autumn season, while the lower half of the valley appeared somewhat bald, as if it had been plucked, revealing moist silt.
There used to be a lake here, a lake located high in the mountains.
And this lake has now become a valley, due to a huge opening on one side.
The opening was covered with many large and small holes, which looked like countless giant pythons and snakes had drilled through here, densely packed, making people's scalps tingle and inspiring awe.
White Socks must have used some special means to create such a large opening.
This opening was connected to the huge mountain trace below, which was where they dug up the corpses.
Or the corpses had already been piled up there, waiting for the opening to be breached, and then they would go down with the water.
Under the moonlight, this silt-covered valley was like a ghostly realm.
When the wind blew, it was like ghosts were crying.
But at this time, Duan Yun found lights.
A temporary wooden house was somewhere in this valley.
The newest novels are first published at 6_9_book_bar!
The night was late, there were lights in the wooden house, and people were drinking.
The house was small, but it had everything.
The most important thing was that there were two very comfortable beds.
Three men and two women were going to sleep on these two very comfortable beds.
It could be seen that the five of them had a harmonious atmosphere, after all, the White Socks Cult were all brothers and sisters, and eating and living together was very common.
"Sister E, how long will it take for our cult to take Yuzhou this time?" the twin-tailed girl asked.
The woman called "Sister E" smiled sweetly and said, "I think Yuzhou is not as good as Qingzhou, after all, we are more powerful now."
"Yes! Our Divine Cult is getting stronger and stronger, and Kyushu will be ours sooner or later. Thinking that more sisters will wear white socks like us, I... hmm!"
As she spoke, she couldn't help but caress herself.
"Sister E, please accompany me tonight," the twin-tailed girl pleaded.
"Okay, as you wish, there shouldn't be any major issues here. According to common sense..."
Before she could finish her words, a gust of sobbing wind blew, and the oil lamp on the table swayed.
The sound of the wind here was like a ghost crying, and they were already used to it, but at this time, one of the men suddenly became alert and said, "What's that sound?"
The rest of them woke up from their drunkenness after hearing what he said.
Because the wind not only sounded like ghosts crying, but also like people talking.
As members of the White Socks Cult, they had killed many people and were not afraid of anything.
But this was a deep mountain forest after all, and besides, too many people had died here this time, and the scene of the floating bodies moving with the water was still fresh in their minds.
So listening to this strange sound, the five of them became nervous.
"Could it be that Junior Brother Li and the others are teasing us?" one of the men asked confusedly.
"We'll know when we go and take a look," the twin-tailed girl said as she caressed herself, walking towards the window.
The closer she got to the doors and windows, the more obvious the strange wind sound became, and the higher the frequency of her self-caressing.
This meant that she was very nervous.
Suddenly, the wind stopped.
Everything returned to normal.
The twin-tailed girl couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, but then she realized that the other four were all looking at her in horror.
The twin-tailed girl's hair stood on end, and half of her soul was gone.
Because a handsome face suddenly appeared at the window.
A very handsome, yet terrifying face in this night.
At this time, this face opened its mouth and said, "Are you there? Let me see your legs!"
