16. Offerings?(1/2)
"It's not a big secret. Everyone in the village knows it."
"It's just that they are very taboo and refuse to talk about it."
Standing at the door, Chen Jiao sighed and her mood dropped.
"Do you still want to drink this tea? If you don't, forget it!"
Anle hesitated for a moment.
Still with great perseverance, he refused the young woman's invitation.
"snort!"
Chen Jiaomei glared at him, twisted her waist, and Tingting picked up the urinal and returned to the house.
****
On the way home.
Anle thought about the secret revealed by Widow Chen.
"It turns out that this is what the disappearance of the possessed person is all about!"
But what does the witch doctor and Chen Zhuangshi mean by "one life for another"?
Killing him will free Chen Ergou from the evil state?
impossible?
Although Anle believes that there is unprovoked malice in the world.
But there must be a reason for Chen Zhuangshi to target himself several times.
Suddenly, a bolt of lightning seemed to flash across Anle's mind, connecting the clues together.
The possessed people were sent outside the village.
What is outside the village?
Monster!
There is some inexplicable strange connection between the monster and the old witch doctor.
The person who treats the possessed is also an old witch doctor.
An Le wouldn't believe it if there was nothing fishy here.
Is there a possibility...
The witch doctor made some kind of deal with the monster, so that the possessed person becomes the monster's food?
Similar to...a sacrifice!
If the monster is not satisfied with the sacrifice, it will attack the village.
This way.
This can also explain the reason why the monsters suddenly attacked the village.
Rather than massacring the entire village, the white-haired man-bear's behavior was more like a warning and punishment to the villagers.
And Chen Zhuangshi came to Anle Room in the middle of the night.
It was just to offer him as a sacrifice instead of Chen Ergou!
Even though this inference is still very rough at present, there are still many doubts.
for example.
Why do people become possessed?
What makes the monster dissatisfied with this sacrifice?
But Anle still believes that this is part of the truth!
So, the way to break the situation may not be as difficult as expected.
After thinking about this, Anle's footsteps became much lighter, and his mind was immersed in the joy of knowing the truth.
Little did he know that he had been targeted.
When we walked to the corner not far from Orion's house, the sound of wooden sticks breaking through the air suddenly came from behind.
"call!"
Anle immediately woke up from his thoughts.
As someone who has died dozens of times in simulations, his reaction to danger is extraordinary.
As if there were eyes behind him, Anle suddenly moved three or four centimeters to the side to avoid this swift stick.
He even twisted around, holding the wooden stick firmly with his iron-like hands, and suddenly used his arms to force the stick away from the attacker's hand!
Anle's food for so many days was not in vain.
Rather, the little things add up to become the nutrients of this physical body.
Coupled with unrelenting training, his arm strength at this time is far beyond that of ordinary people.
Worthy of the entry [Tiger and Leopard Arm Strength].
Looking around with both eyes, Anle discovered that there was more than one attacker!
A total of five villagers came out from a nearby hiding place and surrounded him.
The leader was none other than Chen Zhuangshi.
The other people are also the same group of villagers who are good friends with him.
"Hit him hard!"
Chen Zhuangshi gave a hideous laugh, a fierce look flashed in his eyes, and without any intention of explaining to Anle, he directly raised his stick and moved forward.
An Le, who had always been good-tempered, felt the anger in his heart rising like a flame.
The clay figurine still has some anger!
How can Anle endure such repeated insults?
But the angrier you are, the calmer you need to be.
He took a deep breath, picked up the wooden stick he had snatched, put on the posture he used when practicing swordsmanship, and looked around at everyone coldly.
The villagers surrounding Anle were slightly stunned, not expecting his reaction.
Over the past month, Anle has indeed changed a lot.
However, some villagers' stereotyped impression of him has not changed for a while, and they feel that he is still the weak and vulnerable sick man.
But looking at Anle's actions at this time, he didn't intend to run away, but wanted to resist?
Some people scorned and ridiculed.
"Do you really think you will be so good after practicing swordsmanship with that old hunter for a few days?"
However, the village man who had his weapon taken away as soon as he came up warned him.
"Be careful, this kid is very strong!"
The rest of the people still didn't care.
I just thought that he had lost face and deliberately exaggerated An Le's abilities.
"Boom!"
Anle struck down quickly and touched the wooden stick in someone's hand.
The surprisingly strong force was transmitted from the other end of the stick to the palm of his hand, making his hands numb and almost unable to hold the stick steady.
Only then did the villagers realize that the man had not lied to them!
This young man's strength is astonishing.
When the stick is swung, it whirls in the wind.
If you accidentally don't dodge it and it falls on you, it will be even more painful and make people gasp.
The area where it was hit felt numb for a while, and bruises quickly appeared.
Moreover, Anle is not something to be beaten lightly.
He moved back and forth in an organized manner to avoid the villagers' attacks.
At the same time, adjust your stance and counterattack at the right time.
Anle did not use [Spiritual Power Slash], nor did he deliberately use any of the sword techniques.
Breathing, exerting force, and swinging the knife exist in muscle memory, so harmoniously combined, pouring out like clouds and flowing water.
The blood is boiling like lava, but the mind is calmer than a clear spring.
Anle stared at the villagers surrounding him with cold eyes.
Like a bloodthirsty lone wolf.
