Chapter 690 The Nightmare Comes Again
The village chief didn't believe it at first, but he saw with his own eyes that the big snake would obey the wizard's command.
As long as the wizard blows different melodies on the flute, the big snake will make various movements.
The village chief became convinced of the wizard, and finally listened to the wizard and chose a girl to sacrifice to the snake every week.
Every time, the big snake would swallow the girl in front of the villagers and then leave the village.
At first, a small number of people opposed it. Later, when the number of sacrificed girls reached more than a dozen, more and more people protested and even launched a popular uprising, saying they would overthrow the village chief.
But the village chief actually used force to suppress it, which made the whole village very uneasy.
One day, a plague raged in the village.
Thousands of people were infected with an unknown virus. The sick people had blisters in their bodies and were so weak that they were unable to work and could only stay home sick. Many crops withered because they were too late to harvest. The village was facing a serious food crisis. At this time, the wizard said that as long as he donated
Three girls give the serpent to increase its spiritual power, and it will eliminate the plague from the village.
With the mentality of giving it a try, the village chief forcibly selected three girls and dedicated them to the snake.
After the big snake swallowed the girl, it left the village as usual.
Miraculously, the patients in the village began to recover the next day, and within a few days, most of the patients were cured.
After that day, not only the village chief, but also more and more villagers began to believe in the big snake. They believed that the big snake was the god who protected everyone's peace. And the wizard, because of his great magical powers, became the great protector of the village.
High weight.
As time goes by, the villagers' thoughts have become more entrenched.
Later, before Jiang Feng arrived in the cave world, Bai Shuilan, Liu Shui, and Rias got lost in the Eurasian desert, and finally broke into the sinkhole by mistake.
Bai Sui Lan was the prisoner of Rias and Liu Shui at the time, and she still had energy crystal dark iron handcuffs in her hands. These handcuffs could limit Bai Sui Lan's abilities and her strength.
After the three people fell into the sinkhole, they discovered that there was a cave here. They first solved the water source problem and killed some animals to fill their stomachs.
In an unexpected situation, the three of them encountered a ten-meter-long gray snake chasing a girl of about 10 years old. Liu Shui felt that the origin of the girl in the cave was unknown, so he should not go there in case there was a scam. But Baishui
Lan rushed forward desperately and kicked the big gray snake away with his legs.
Originally, with Bai Shuilan's power, this kick would definitely kill him. However, because his power was greatly weakened, this kick only caused slight damage to the big gray snake.
After the big gray snake stabilized its body, it opened its huge mouth and rushed towards Bai Shuilan.
With Bai Shuilan's current defense, she couldn't defend herself against those sharp fangs, but she still stood in front of the little girl.
At the critical moment, Rias appeared in time and slashed the big gray snake with a sword.
The blood of the big gray snake spurted out and splashed on Rias' arm.
Rias showed a very disgusted expression and wiped away the blood on her sleeve.
Liu Shui looked at Bai Shui Lan helplessly: "Are you willing to die?"
"I can't just leave the little girl alone, right?"
"In other words, you already knew that we would take action, right?" Liu Shui asked.
Bai Shuilan didn't answer and turned his head to one side.
Although the contact time was not very long, Liu Shui already knew that Bai Shui Lan was extremely intelligent. She had escaped under extremely impossible circumstances. If Liu Shui had not used illusions to trap Bai Shui Lan in time, she would have escaped long ago.
In order to control Bai Shui Lan, Liu Shui took out the mixed black ice gem handcuffs. You must know that these handcuffs are very precious, and they are really reluctant to use them unless it is absolutely necessary.
After rescuing the little girl, Liu Shui began to question the little girl.
The little girl was a little scared and was trembling and didn't dare to answer. Bai Shuilan touched the little girl's cheek and said with a smile: "It's okay. Speak slowly. They won't hurt you."
Rias felt a little unhappy: this Bai Sui Lan was obviously just a prisoner, but he acted like a leader. However, Bai Sui Lan's guess was not wrong. Rias and Liu Shui would not be so bad as to hurt a little kid.
girl.
Just like that, the little girl revealed everything she knew.
Liu Shui said that he was not interested in this underground world. He just wanted to get some water and food. It would be better if there was some means of transportation. He hoped to leave the Eurasian desert and go to Europe as soon as possible.
The little girl said that the crypt world is a very secret world and usually does not welcome outsiders. But Liu Shui and the others were lifesavers, so the little girl still took them to the village.
When Liu Shui and the others first arrived in the village, all the villagers looked at them strangely.
After the news spread, the Great Protector secretly suggested to the village chief to assassinate Liu Shui and others. He believed that the underground world should not be known to outsiders.
However, the village chief felt that Liu Shui and others saved the villagers and should not be bad people, so he rejected the guardian's suggestion.
The village chief personally received the three people from Liu Shui and planned to arrange for them to stay there for a while.
However, Liu Shui refused directly. He only wanted the villagers to give him a few bottles of water and some food.
The village chief ordered people to prepare a lot of dry food and several bottles of water for Liu Shui and others.
Before leaving, the village chief said to Liu Shui and others: "If you like our place, we welcome you. However, I hope you will not tell the outside world about our existence. Our peace and stability are hard-won."
Liu Shui smiled and said: "Haha, although your underground world is good, it is still far behind the outside world. You don't have to worry about someone coming to occupy your place. To be honest, I really don't like it."
Liu Shui's words were not pleasant, but the village chief was still satisfied, at least the peace here would not be broken.
"That's the best. Thank you for keeping our secrets." The village chief smiled and thanked him.
"Village Chief, we should be the ones thanking you." Rias smiled.
"Okay, without further ado, we want to leave here. Apart from the foggy sinkhole, is there any other way out?"
"Of course there is. We have developed other trails. Although it is a bit detoured, it is less laborious and can directly leave the desert area and lead to the Gobi rock belt. I can ask two people to guide you."
"That's really hard work."
In this way, the village chief sent two people to escort Liu Shui and the others away.
On the way back, Rias suddenly felt itchy on her arms and a little headache.
Liu Shui took a closer look at Rias and found that strange blisters appeared on her body, especially on the skin of her arms.
Rias grabbed it with her hand, and the blisters burst and blood-red thick juice flowed out.
"Wow, it hurts." Rias felt extremely painful.
"You may be poisoned. Use your strength to protect your body quickly. It can also enhance your immunity." Liu Shui shouted.
"I...I feel like I don't have enough strength." Rias frowned.
"how so?"
At this time, the expressions of the two villagers suddenly changed. They said nervously: "This... these symptoms, aren't they the plague that once ravaged the village?"
"Plague? Why is there a plague?" Liu Shui shouted.
"No one knows why."
"Is there any cure?"
"I... we don't know, but the great protector of the village may know. In the past, it was he who communicated with the big snake and drove away all the plagues."
"Take us back to the village immediately to find the great protector."
"But...but..."
"But what?"
"She is sick now and if she is brought back to the village, she may infect other people."
"Isn't that great protector capable of treatment? There's nothing to be afraid of." Liu Shui shouted.
"Okay...okay."
In this way, the villagers brought Liu Shui and others back to the village.
After arriving at the village, Rias was taken to the hospital. The doctor conducted a detailed examination of Rias and found that there was some unknown virus in her body.
The doctors invited the Great Protector to check. The Great Protector was surprised to see such symptoms, but he said that this virus was not the virus that had caused the plague. But just in case, it was best to isolate Rias first.
Liu Shui was so angry that he pinched the Great Protector by the collar and shouted: "We were infected with this strange virus when we got here. You must find a way to cure it. If something happens to Rias, believe it or not, I will destroy your entire village."
Liu Shui's expression was very scary, and his words contained a strong threat.
The Great Protector said nervously: "We will do our best."
Afterwards, the doctors at the hospital gathered together to discuss how to remove the virus from Rias's body. But the former great protector suddenly disappeared.
Rias's illness was not cured, and something more terrible happened. All the doctors who had been in contact with Rias were infected with the virus one by one, and the transmission route was through respiratory transmission. But those doctors did not know in advance that they had been infected.
So they infected other doctors, the doctors infected other patients, and the patients infected their families.
The virus spread from one to ten, and in just one day, 80% of the villagers were infected with the virus.
Even Bai Shuilan was infected with the virus, and her hands developed blisters.
However, Liu Shui seems to be fine, because Liu Shui is more vigilant. He has maintained a strength value of more than 100 since he entered this crypt world, and the power of strength has successfully blocked the virus for him.
Although Liu Shui was fine, he was already worried. When Rias and Bai Shui Lan were sick, he couldn't do anything.
But the village has already exploded, and people are terrified and scared to death. Because this plague is more serious than the last one, and the course of the disease is very fast and urgent. It only takes about an hour from infection to onset. What is even more terrifying is that
, the mortality rate of the last plague was only 10%, but this time the mortality rate is much higher than the last time. In just a few days, thousands of infected people have died.
This plague is undoubtedly a catastrophe for the village.
The desperate villagers asked the Great Protector to save everyone, but the Great Protector said that Liu Shui and others were the source of evil. Only by sacrificing Liu Shui and the others to the big snake would the big snake save everyone.
In this way, the soldiers of the village, the village chief, the Great Protector and others attacked Liu Shui.
Liu Shui didn't expect that this small, run-down village would actually have such a strong warrior. The village chief's strength was as high as 200, which was not inferior to him at all.
Liu Shui was unable to defeat him, so he resorted to illusions. But who would have thought that the Great Protector could also perform illusions, and the effectiveness of the illusions was not inferior to Liu Shui's.
