Merchant of the Underworld

Outside the villa, almost all the young men in the village had arrived, each carrying a sickle, a hoe, and even a shotgun, looking very powerful.

I warned the village chief that the women and children in the village must stay at home tonight, close the doors and windows tightly, and no matter what happens, do not show their heads, let alone open the doors or windows.

Then, I led the villagers in a mighty killing spree towards the river.

Sparse poplar trees were planted along the river, but the wind was strong. The moon hanging in the sky was half-covered by dark clouds, so visibility was not high.

I directed the villagers to put all the snakes and mice they had caught on the ground. Then, a circle of realgar was sprinkled near the river, and a bonfire was lit in the center of the realgar.

Others went to prepare dry branches and gasoline.

After simply dividing the work among the villagers, I asked everyone to rest far away from the campfire for the time being, and waited until midnight to start taking action.

I guessed that the python must be nearby, and I would catch it by surprise when the time comes!

To be honest, I'm not sure now whether the sword spirit is a giant python. After all, no one has seen its true face. I just deduced it based on some clues.

And I still have a doubt, that is, where did the Snake Yu Dao go? It is certain that the Snake Yu Knife was stolen by the boa constrictor, but where would it hide the knife? You can't carry it with you.

If the Sheyu Dao cannot be found, even if the sword spirit can be eliminated, the matter at the execution ground of the King of Hell will not end perfectly. Sooner or later, the Snake Yu Dao will breed resentment again and continue to harm people.

Looking at my watch, it was almost twelve o'clock. I immediately led the villagers to the bonfire and threw the snakes I caught into the bonfire one by one.

In an instant, the snake was burned and crackled like firecrackers.

At the same time, I carefully observed the mouse in the cage. So far, the mouse is relatively calm...

To be honest, I couldn't bear to see so many snakes being thrown into the fire and burned to death because of my words, but for the sake of the lives of the whole village, I could only turn my head to one side.

There were also some snakes that were not burned to death on the spot and crawled out of the bonfire alive.

But the realgar stimulates them to keep hiding.

The villagers regarded it as a carnival and completely forgot about their fear. Almost everyone volunteered to throw the snake to the bonfire, and some villagers even raised a torch and burned it on the snake. They were very happy to see the snake being burned off a layer of skin and spitting out the message hissingly.

Li Mazi squatted next to me and asked me if this was a bit too much.

I gave a wry smile and said, just give it a try! Once you get over it, you won't get involved in this kind of thing again, it will hurt your moral integrity.

"Why do you do this?" Li Mazi asked.

"Snakes are social animals." I explained: "Among these captured snakes, there must be descendants of the giant python. It is impossible for it to just sit idly by."

Li Mazi suddenly realized it, and then asked me where those mice were? Should the mice be burned to death too?

I said that was not necessary. Rats are naturally afraid of snakes. They can feel the danger from snakes from a long distance away. As long as the giant python approaches, those rats will definitely panic.

Li Mazi said, thank you for being able to figure it out. However, why is there still no movement from the giant python even though the snake is almost burned out?

I was startled for a moment and asked quickly: "What... is the snake almost finished burning?"

Li Mazi nodded: "Don't you smell the burnt smell everywhere? How many snakes will be burned to death?"

I was shocked and turned around quickly. When I saw this, my face turned black with anger.

The villagers simply regarded tonight's action as a carnival. Several people threw snakes into the bonfire and laughed.

There were originally nearly two hundred snakes, but now there are only about a dozen left. Looking at the dozens of snakes, they seemed to know what fate was waiting for them, and they all looked downcast.

I immediately realized something was wrong. The giant python hadn't appeared yet. Could it be that...we were looking in the wrong place?

In other words, the giant python has gone to the village to harm people.

After thinking of this, my face suddenly turned pale and I shouted loudly: "Stop, everyone, stop! Call home and ask if the village is safe."

The villagers were a little unhappy when I called them to stop. But when they heard that something happened in the village, they were immediately dumbfounded. Almost everyone took out their mobile phones and called home.

However, no one answered at all.

not a single one!

I ran towards the village without saying a word.

The village is full of old, weak, women and children. If a giant python comes to visit, the consequences will be disastrous.

Halfway through, a villager's cell phone finally rang. After hanging up the phone, he burst into tears.

I immediately asked him what happened?

The guy said with a trembling voice: "My wife... said that a Japanese devil appeared in the village and was killing people everywhere."

"Japanese devils appeared?" I took a breath: "Where did the Japanese devils come from?"

"I don't know, I heard what my wife said. She also said that the other party was wearing a Japanese military uniform and had a knife in his hand. The knife seemed to be from the execution ground of the King of Hell. Go back quickly! My son is still at home. .”

I immediately asked him to get into my brother's car and drive back to the village with us.

Along the way, the villager kept calling home to ask about the situation there.

The more he listened, the more fearful his expression became: "It's over. My wife said there was a flood in the village and many houses were washed down. It must be the big python that came to take revenge on us. It's over."

"Where did the water come from?" I was shocked and looked at my brother in disbelief: "Isn't your village very short of water? Even domestic water has to be diverted from the Yangtze River."

Brother Jia has already stepped on the accelerator to the maximum, and there are beads of sweat on his head: "Could it be underground water, right?"

I shook my head and thought it was impossible. How could underground water rush up and flood the house?

Before I even got close to the village, I noticed that there was water on the road. It seemed that there was really a flood in the village.

Sure enough, when we entered the village, the water had already reached the wheels, and it seemed that it was still rising.

The car couldn't move forward at all, so we had to walk.

My first thought was to see who the Japanese soldier with the snake sword is!

Who would have thought that after Japan had been defeated for decades, there would still be Japanese soldiers on duty in this land of China.

When passing by the execution ground of the King of Hell, I found that water was bubbling in the huge pit. It seemed that the water was flowing out of the execution ground of the King of Hell.

We searched around the village and didn't find any Japanese soldiers. This made me feel a little relieved. I thought it was probably the villager's wife who was too panicked and was blinded.

At this moment, the brother fell into the water with a pop.

He screamed in horror: "There seems to be something under my feet! It's fleshy."

Before we could react, the water surface one meter in front suddenly seemed to explode, creating a huge splash. The water surface was so shaky that we couldn't even stand steady.

Despite this, I still looked at the thing that came out of my hand.

When I saw it, my eyes widened and my mind was filled with disbelief.

The person standing in front of me was indeed a Japanese soldier in military uniform. This guy was quite tall, and he was holding the snake knife I lost.

I was shocked and immediately said to Li Mazi and Brother Ba: "Hurry and climb up to the roof."

After saying that, I took the lead.

Unexpectedly, I just walked a few steps, and a long black shadow was drawn towards me from the water. At this moment, I was completely unprepared. I was instantly drawn by the black shadow. The huge force made my body collapse. It flew out and hit the wall hard.

As soon as his throat became hot, he spit out a mouthful of blood.

And looking at Li Mazi and others, they were also whipped around by the black shadow.

At the same time, the Japanese soldier with the knife rushed towards me again. I couldn't help but take a breath, because when he rushed towards me, I finally knew what happened to this so-called Japanese soldier!
