Chapter 918: Chapter 61: Old Pei Six’s Otherworld Journey (Part 5)
Although Master Liu hadn’t fully mastered the Teleportation Technique, he was quite adept at Sword Control Technique.
Otherwise, he wouldn’t have used the skill so effortlessly.
This was also why he seed quite inept in the application of Dark Energy.
It’s not that Master Liu wasn’t diligent, but like Ye Cang, he devoted all his energy to this kind of “Cultivation” related Dark Energy Technique.
The silver treasure sword he used was one of the nine Mountain and River Swords Ye Cang obtained with contribution points.
Although they were twenty years apart in age, they shared a common interest.
So, recently on Dragon Sleep Mountain, the two would often discuss cultivation experiences together and had a good relationship.
This was why Ye Cang gifted Pei Laoliu a Mountain and River Sword.
It is worth ntioning that the sword box for the newly exchanged Mountain and River Sword no longer contained the note that Su Yu left for Jiang Yuan; there were just nine identical treasure swords.
“Buzz… Buzz… Buzz…”
The Mountain and River Sword, forged from Olharast Steel, also known as “Resonant Iron,” emitted a strong whistling noise with just a slight motion in Pei Laoliu’s hand.
Master Liu gently stroked the sword’s blade, then pointed its tip toward the small stream outside the village, sternly questioning those around him:
“Gentlen, tell , how long has this place been sealed by that demon outside? And how many have perished at its hands?”
A young man nearby angrily responded:
“Answering the Immortal, the village has been sealed for over a month, with seven lives lost!”
“Good! Then let ask you, have you offered sacrifices to the Mountain God regularly, and have you done anything cruel and heartless?”
“We worship the Mountain God every month, year after year, never slacking off! We’ve done nothing cruel or heartless!”
The young man continued.
Pei Laoliu gave him an approving look and raised the final question.
“Then can you tell , given that there’s no grievance and you worship day and night, why does it intend to take your lives?”
Everyone was at a loss for words until the young man roared:
“Because it’s not a Mountain God at all! It’s a man-eating Monster!!”
“Li Qiang!”
A woman beside him softly called, tugging his sleeve, still seemingly fearful of this so-called Mountain God.
“Mother! Don’t pull ! It’s a Monster! I’ve said it all along! If we don’t unite and resist, we’ll be picked off one by one eventually!”
Pei Laoliu was intrigued by the young man nad Li Qiang.
In this group of ignorant villagers, there was surprisingly soone who could discern right from wrong.
The woman fell silent, as did everyone else, all lost in thought.
Pei Laoliu seized the mont to say:
“Gentlen, I can assure you, the thing outside is definitely not a Mountain God, but an out-and-out Monster, a giant Snake Demon!”
“Snake Demon!?”
Everyone was stunned.
“Exactly, if you trust , prepare so realgar wine, as much as possible; Snake Demons fear these things. This might save your lives at a critical mont!”
Pei Laoliu said.
He was actually unsure what that thing was.
An alien species?
A monster?
Or was it truly, as he suggested earlier, an outright Monster?
This world was still too strange for him, shrouded in mist, requiring more in-depth exploration.
However, he didn’t have a better solution to share with these people.
He took the mythological reference of realgar wine against snake demons from Water Blue Star, using it as a last-ditch effort, better than nothing.
He then repeated so folk redies for driving away snakes.
Whether they worked or not, it was at least sothing to keep them busy, boosting their confidence slightly.
Under Li Yuan’s direction, the villagers returned to their hos for preparations, leaving only three people on the scene.
“You’re called Li Qiang, right? I noticed those people being timid and not daring to resist the Snake Demon. You, however, are different, knowing the importance of unity to avoid being picked off one by one.”
Pei Laoliu said to the young man.
“Unworthy of your praise, Immortal. My father taught all this, saying hunters can’t handle large herds with weapons alone. They must first drive them away, disperse them, and then pick them off one by one to minimize losses.”
“Hmm, you have a point. Though the monster could easily devour you all, it hasn’t acted. Instead, it has trapped this place, targeting lone individuals, clearly using such a strategy.”
Pei Laoliu stroked the beard on his chin and said:
“According to my deduction, the monster is indeed formidable, yet its power must be limited, unable to confront you all simultaneously. Hence the use of this thod… Truly, this creature has turned into a cunning big python.”
Hearing this, Li Yuan looked worriedly:
“Then, Immortal, what should we do first? That monster acts covertly, hiding in the dense forest. If we venture in recklessly, the outco could be disastrous! If it sneaks in while everyone is asleep, then…”
