Chapter 47: murderer
While speaking, Chen Cang also took the opportunity to approach Guo Ren. It's a pity that he still couldn't get within two steps.
In the army, there is a distinction between rank and humility, and Chen Cang, the lowest-ranking soldier, must keep a certain distance from the even commander and centurion.
Five steps away, Guo Ren looked at Chen Cang.
"You mean, we stay here and wait for each other to come back?"
Chen Cang nodded, "Yes. The sky is getting darker. If we rashly march, we may be caught off guard. I heard that the cavalrymen who came out to investigate before were all killed. In my opinion, this is more like a targeted attack. We don't know where the killer is, but maybe the killer has his eye on us. Maybe it's better if we set up our defenses here and wait for it."
After Guo Ren heard this, he couldn't help but look up at the sky.
The sun is setting, and the sky is getting darker. Marching at night is indeed not a wise thing.
He immediately said, "You are right."
Then, he ordered the soldiers to dispose of the bodies of the villagers in Majia Village. Then, through the village, set up defense lines and be ready to respond to emergencies at any time.
When dealing with the villagers' bodies, Chen Cang's expression became more and more solemn. There is no doubt that these corpses were injured by wild beasts.
The wounds on their bodies were deep enough to show that the beast's bite force was amazing.
In his opinion, this is not an ordinary attack at all, it is more like revenge.
Otherwise, how could it be possible to kill all the villagers, leaving none of them.
It's just that he didn't come to Liangcheng to serve for a long time, so he couldn't infer what kind of beast did from those wounds.
As a centurion, Guo Ren has broader knowledge.
He also analyzed that this was not a simple attack on the village. He even guessed that it was mainly a revenge action against the soldiers of Liangcheng.
Using the attack on the village as a bait, he lured the soldiers out of Liangcheng to rescue. Then, deal with the soldiers.
He took a closer look at the wounds on the corpses, and couldn't help but narrow his eyes.
He suddenly thought of a ferocious beast, a sand crocodile.
When he spoke out about the beast he thought of, some of the old pawns turned pale in shock.
They shook their heads in disbelief.
"Ferocious beasts such as sand crocodiles live in the driest places in the extreme west. There are no hundreds of miles around here, so how could they appear here?"
Guo Ren's face was sullen, looking at the already dark sky, he became more and more vigilant.
"If someone keeps sand crocodiles, that's another story."
Although he was going to spend the night in Majia Village, he demanded that all the soldiers should not disarm their armor, nor should they put down their weapons.
After seeing the scene and making a bold analysis, he only felt that this matter was far from simple.
Therefore, he is ready to fight at any time.
Chen Cang was patrolling the entrance of the village, carrying a moon sword on his back and a long spear in his hand.
He has never seen a sand crocodile, but he has heard of its vicious name.
It is said that the sand crocodile has thick skin and thick flesh and has a high defense. Their attack power is extremely strong, especially the bite force is terrifyingly strong.
They are very drought tolerant and can go without a drop of water for a long time. They are the overlords of the extreme west, and many beasts have to surrender to them.
Because Chen Cang learned that the cavalrymen who came out to investigate before were all killed, so at this moment, the patrol was full of energy.
While patrolling, he looked at the horses not far away from time to time.
He thought it was better not to get too far from the horse.
The light of the fire flickered, and in the dark night, there were several insect calls from time to time.
Yinyue is like a ditch, and I don't know when it will start, not even the sound of insects.
Suddenly, a bell sounded in the distance.
The bell sounded far away, and in the dark night, it seemed deserted and terrifying.
Chen Cang was standing at the entrance of the village, and when he heard the bell suddenly, he felt horrified.
The bell rang mournfully, as if sending someone to the end.
He immediately shouted "there is a situation" and reported the situation to the soldiers who lived in the village.
As a cultivator in the early days of the Qi Sea Realm, Guo Ren heard the mournful bell the first time he picked up his sword, summoned his soldiers, and entered a state of battle.
When the bell rang at night, you didn't have to think about it to know that something was wrong.
Suddenly, the cavalry mounted, and the infantry armed with weapons all gathered at the entrance of the village.
Standing at the entrance of the village, Chen Cang looked in the direction from which the bell came, but saw a pair of green eyes in the dark night.
It was a beast.
At that moment, his heart couldn't help but jump. Sure enough, the comers are not good. It seems that they have long been targeted.
"Ignite!" Following Guo Ren's order, the soldiers lit the prepared fire.
The soldiers lit more than a dozen fires, and for a while, Majia Village was brightly lit, illuminating far away places.
By the firelight, Chen Cang saw a person standing in the distance.
That person's dress is very similar to that of the wild bandits, not like the people of Dayue Kingdom.
It was a woman with a bell in her hand. The bell came from the bell in the woman's hand.
And behind the woman, stood a row of giant beasts. Those giant beasts are the legendary sand crocodiles.
Those sand crocodiles are somewhat similar in appearance to crocodiles. However, they are bigger than crocodiles.
The sand crocodile in the middle is more than ten meters long!
And, not one, but several. They were neat and lined up behind the woman.
Chen Cang looked from afar and counted them carefully. There were as many as five heads.
The most terrifying thing is the one in the middle, with a body size of more than ten meters. It is already in the ranks of demons.
When Chen Cang looked at it, he felt a chill.
When an old soldier saw it, he immediately made a panicked voice: "Sand crocodile, it's really a sand crocodile!"
He is an experienced veteran, and at a glance he can see that those on the opposite side are sand crocodiles that are only found in the extreme west.
Many other soldiers have only heard of the name of the sand crocodile, but have never seen it. See you now, but would rather not see.
The woman on the opposite side had a lot of pigtails hanging over her shoulders.
The bell rang, and the sand crocodile moved. The bell stops, the sand crocodile stops.
Seeing this scene, the soldiers' hearts moved again. This woman can easily control a group of sand crocodiles!
The woman stopped and looked at Chen Cang and the others.
She spoke, her voice piercing and full of hatred.
She speaks an unknown language very fast.
She chatted for a while, but Chen Cang didn't understand a word.
Only Guo Ren understood.
Guo Ren, the centurion, became a translator at this time.
"She said that Liangcheng soldiers killed his son. She wants to avenge her son in her own way."
Guo Ren said, and glanced at Chen Cang inadvertently.
"According to what she said, her son was a gangster who died a few days ago. He was the leader of the gangster."
After Chen Cang heard this, he couldn't help but squeeze the spear in his hand.
Unexpectedly, someone came to take revenge after killing the leader of the barbarian bandit.
The woman chatted a lot, and then shook the bell in her hand again.
The bell rings, the sand crocodile moves!
Chapter 48
Suddenly, five huge sand crocodiles rushed towards the soldiers.
"Shoot!" Guo Ren shouted, commanding the soldiers to shoot five sand crocodiles with arrows.
The sharp arrow galloped, making a whizzing sound.
However, what makes people dumbfounded is that the sharp arrow hit the sand crocodile, but it didn't go in.
The sand crocodile has rough skin and thick flesh, and its defense is beyond imagination. No one would have thought that the sharp arrows could not kill the sand crocodile at all, nor could it resist the attack of the sand crocodile.
"Attack!" Guo Ren gave the order again.
For a time, the cavalry took the lead in killing the past. However, what people didn't expect was that the seemingly cumbersome sand crocodile suddenly rose up from the ground and threw the cavalry down from the horse one by one. UU reading www.uukanshu.com
Then, they bit with their big mouths open.
"Ah!" A shrill scream resounded in the dark night, looking so terrifying.
A cavalryman was bitten off his head and died instantly.
One was bitten off half of his body, extremely miserable.
Seeing this scene, Chen Cang narrowed his eyes. These sand crocodiles are simply killing machines, too terrifying.
"kill!"
Guo Ren never imagined that the sand crocodile in front of him would be so crazy and so powerful.
He jumped up, dodged five or six meters away, and struck with a knife.
His target was the sand crocodile that was over ten meters in size.
That sand crocodile is already a monster, the most terrifying existence.
Guo Ren slashed down, right on the head of the sand crocodile.
Then, the sand crocodile was not cut in half.
On the contrary, Guo Ren felt that his arm was numb, and he was subjected to a terrifying shock force.
The sand crocodile was attacked, its head trembled, and then it made a hissing sound.
I saw its tail swiftly swept towards Guo Ren.
After Guo Ren saw it, he pulled away and slashed out at the same time.
when!
His knife collided with the sand crocodile's tail, but it was like slashing on a steel plate.
The sand crocodile's tail is terrifying and powerful, even Guo Ren at the early stage of the Qi Sea Realm couldn't resist it.
Guo Ren stepped back, but his body trembled.
The bell in the woman's hand kept ringing, and all the sand crocodiles looked insane.
"Flaming knife, slash!"
Guo Ren suddenly shouted angrily and slashed out. When the knife came out, there was a layer of burning flames on it, and the power was quite terrifying.
