Chapter 25
Little Sister
Shen Kun looked down at Feng Youtian, who was kneeling on the ground, head tilted back, motionless.
Then he twisted his right hand with brute force.
They forcefully pulled the short thorn out of its skull!
It lost its support.
Feng Youtian's body slumped to the ground with a thud, his ruptured skull spilling a pool of blood onto the ground.
Not far away, one could see the scene of this massacre, which was as fierce as a storm, and the pervasive smell of blood.
Liu Ergou's brain was instantly stunned, his eyes staring blankly, and he stood there dumbfounded.
A warm, damp sensation came from below my crotch.
He was so scared he peed his pants.
I never expected Shen Kun, that little brat, to be so ruthless!
Even more unexpectedly, the eldest brother Feng Youtian, who was tall, strong and powerful in his eyes, was killed so easily by the young second brother of the Shen family!
There wasn't even a sliver of room to defend themselves!
He watched as Feng Youtian, whom he usually feared the most, lay on the ground with a large hole in his head, not uttering a sound.
Liu Ergou swallowed hard, his throat dry and tight, and a surge of immense relief welled up inside him. Thankfully, it wasn't him lying on the ground.
Feng Youtian is dead, but he can live on!
A relaxed smile appeared on Liu Ergou's face as he turned to look at the eldest son of the Shen family.
puff!
However, just as his head turned slightly...
Without warning, a short thorn came down from above and, with a "snap," pierced his entire skull, easily penetrating it horizontally!
Liu Ergou still had a smile on his face, but his eyes revealed a hint of confusion and bewilderment at the end.
Didn't we agree that if I helped them call Feng Youtian over, they would let me off the hook?
However, he no longer had the chance to question the Shen brothers.
They didn't even have a chance to speak.
Life was extinguished in the blink of an eye, and the corpse collapsed limply to the side.
Shen Yi casually pulled out a short thorn from the Yin Wood and wiped it clean on Liu Ergou's clothes.
"Brother, what should we do with their bodies?" Shen Kun got up and walked over, asking in a low voice.
Shen Yi looked at the sky outside; it was already dark, and the sounds of spirits and monsters gradually began to rise.
Looks like I won't be able to go home tonight.
Originally, I just planned to deal with Liu Ergou first, and then pick a day to deal with Feng Youtian.
But by sheer coincidence, Feng Youtian's men came to deliver meat to Liu Ergou, so he decided to take care of Feng Youtian as well.
This inevitably delayed my return journey considerably.
However, with the two vicious dogs that had ill intentions towards their family eliminated, the hidden danger that had been weighing on the minds of the three siblings finally dissipated.
This trip was definitely worthwhile.
Seeing the vicious look in Feng Youtian and Liu Ergou's eyes as they left today, Shen Yi knew that they would not let this go.
Not to mention what Shen Yi overheard outside the door, which fueled his murderous intent.
To deal with such villains, we must eradicate them completely to prevent future troubles!
He has already died once, and he will never again allow others to bully and manipulate him in this chaotic and dark world!
Shen Yi turned his gaze to the second son and slowly said:
"Throw them out and let the monsters have a taste."
"yes!"
Shen Kun's expression hardened.
Without a word, he picked up the two corpses with both hands and walked towards the door, intending to throw the bodies out into the yard to feed the spirits.
However, at this time...
Bang!
Suddenly, the gate to Liu Ergou's courtyard was violently smashed open from the outside!
A whole bunch of monsters swarmed in instantly!
Upon seeing this, Shen Yi's expression changed, and he shouted:
"Ah Kun, come back quickly!"
Shen Kun remained vigilant, keeping a close watch on any movement in the darkness.
He immediately sensed something was wrong, dropped the corpse in his hand, and ran away!
Fortunately, upon seeing the corpses of Feng Youtian and Liu Ergou, the group of monsters immediately pounced on them, greedily devouring their life force and flesh.
This gave Shen Kun time to escape.
Shen Kun rushed into the house in one breath.
Without hesitation, Shen Yi upgraded the wooden door that he had already kicked down!
Seeing the monster frantically ramming against the door in the next moment but failing to break in, the two brothers finally relaxed their tense nerves.
"That damn Liu Ergou! He doesn't even bother to repair the spirit runes on the courtyard gate; it broke down at the crack of night!"
Shen Kun took a couple of breaths and cursed under his breath.
"It's not Liu Ergou's problem."
Shen Yi shook his head, his expression solemn.
He had just noticed that a Fog Shadow Monster had infiltrated the group of Lantern Ghosts!
The strange fog-shrouded horde has returned to Black Mountain Village.
What's going on?
However, he didn't have time to think much about it, as the Shadow Monster kept ramming against the gate from the outside.
In Shen Yi's eyes, the durability of Liu Ergou's house was rapidly decreasing!
He immediately consumed 10 units of Yin Soul Wood to upgrade Liu Ergou's house into a Level 1 Yin Suppressing Wooden House.
Based on his understanding of the Fog Shadow Monster.
It would take three Fog Shadow Monsters charging at it continuously for a whole night to deplete the durability of a level 1 Town Shade House.
There was only one Fog Shadow Monster outside, and the level 1 Zhenyin Wooden House should be enough for the two brothers to safely spend the night here.
"Brother, why are the Shadow Fog Monsters coming to our Black Mountain Village again? We've never seen them in so many years, why are they appearing so frequently lately?"
Shen Kun stepped forward and noticed the shadowy creature frantically ramming against the wooden house outside. His pupils contracted slightly, and he lowered his voice to speak.
Whenever the Fog Shadow Monster appears in the village, it is undoubtedly a terrible disaster for the people of Black Mountain Village.
Apart from experts at the late stage of the Qi and Blood Realm, ordinary villagers have no ability to resist unless they can unite.
Black Mountain Village has survived for decades, but currently, it does not have the ability to resist monsters like the Fog Shadow Monster.
Only Shen Yi possesses the ability to create folk artifacts, which can withstand the invasion of the Fog Shadow Monster, making him the only survivor in the village. He can even take the initiative to hunt down monsters!
Others were not so lucky.
Once the Fog Shadow Monster appears, just like last time, more than ten households in the village will die overnight!
The reason why Black Mountain Village has been able to survive for more than 60 years is because of its special location. It is not targeted by other spirits and monsters, and only lantern ghosts will visit it.
The Fog Shadow Monsters have only invaded three or four times, and these are usually unexpected events that occur only once every ten or twenty years.
The fact that the Shadow Monsters have attacked twice in such a short period of time indicates that something is wrong.
Could it be that something has happened to the spirits in this area, forcing the Mist Shadow Monster to deviate from its original range and come here?
If that's the case, Heishan Village will fall to the enemy sooner or later!
Shen Yi didn't care about the people in the village.
Even if they all died, he wouldn't care.
He can turn this entire Black Mountain Village into his exclusive base of power!
However, thinking of his younger sister Shen Yuan being alone at home now, Shen Yi murmured to himself:
"I wonder how my little sister is doing now."
Shen Kun said nonchalantly, "Don't worry, big brother, we left a message for little sister, she'll definitely be fine."
"I'm just worried that she might not be rational enough. If she comes out looking for us late at night, it would be dangerous."
Shen Yi frowned.
In particular, the youngest sister, Shen Yuan, is only nine years old.
In their previous life on Earth, most of them would have been pampered and spoiled little princesses, whose minds were not yet mature.
Hearing his older brother say this, Shen Kun also became a little nervous.
"Brother, shall we go back now?"
"I just said that my little sister might not be rational enough, and here you are acting silly."
Shen Yi turned around and glared at him.
Without a late-stage Qi and Blood Realm expert leading the way, daring to enter the night would mean certain death!
Not to mention that the Fog Shadow Monster is now appearing in the village.
"Stay put! We'll head back as soon as it's light."
Shen Kun shut his mouth and could only sit on the ground and wait for dawn.
Tonight is destined to be a sleepless night.
The sounds of heartbreaking and desperate cries could be heard from nearby, usually indicating that an entire family had been murdered.
Shen Yi remained calm and composed.
If he hadn't come to Liu Ergou's place, Liu Ergou would already be dead at the hands of the Fog Shadow Monster.
However, even knowing that the Fog Shadow Monster would come, he would definitely still make a move against Liu Ergou tonight.
He was meticulous in his work, leaving no room for future trouble, and he wouldn't feel at ease until he saw Liu Ergou's body with his own eyes.
……
the other side.
In a newly developed courtyard.
A large group of people gathered together.
They were trembling all over, shouting loudly as they gripped their machetes and slashed repeatedly at a shadowy creature that had entered the courtyard!
To prevent another attack by the Fog Shadow Monster.
Wang Tieming had previously gathered many households in the village together to form a brand new large camp.
It has indeed worked!
He concentrated his main force to deal with the Shadow Fog Monster, and dispatched archers to suppress a group of Lantern Ghosts that wanted to break in from the rear. For a time, he was able to hold his own against the monsters!
"ah!!!"
However, to the Shadow Monster, these people were nothing more than a flock of tender lambs on the move.
The next moment...
Two red lights suddenly flashed from where the Mist Shadow Monster's eyes were.
It quickly turned into a cloud of black mist and merged into the ground.
Immediately afterwards, one person in the crowd had bloodshot eyes and his movements became wildly contorted. The greatsword he had been swinging at the Shadow Monster suddenly turned and slashed at a burly man next to him!
The man next to him immediately fell to the ground, blood gushing from his neck. He stared at the person who had attacked him, his eyes filled with disbelief.
Wang Tieming's gaze sharpened, and he turned to the person who had attacked, shouting sternly:
"Liu Shitou has been possessed by the Shadow Monster! Don't look at the red light on the Shadow Monster!"
"Quick, find the shadow!"
"But... isn't it nighttime? Where are the shadows?"
Everyone panicked, looking around at the ground, and then, horrified, they discovered a fact, their voices trembling as they spoke.
"I'll do it!"
An elderly man with gray hair, experienced in his field, took a tinderbox and struck it to produce a spark.
A firelight shone in the darkness, briefly illuminating the surroundings.
As the light shone on Liu Shitou, it also revealed the bizarre, constantly twisting shadow beneath him!
Wang Tieming moved with lightning speed, forcefully throwing the short knife in his hand, which struck Liu Shitou squarely between the eyebrows!
The shadow suddenly contracted violently, then abruptly dispersed, surging towards the people nearby.
"Run! Liu Tusheng has been possessed too!"
Before he could finish speaking...
The young man called "Liu Tusheng" had already slashed the old man beside him with his knife.
Old Liu stared in astonishment at his second son, whose eyes were bleeding, before he slowly collapsed into a pool of blood.
No sooner said than done.
The two men pounced on Liu Tusheng one after the other, and chopped off his head with their broadswords!
Pfft!
The shadowy creature dissipated again, revealing its form, and was preparing to possess the next person.
"Got you!"
Wang Tieming's face was contorted with rage when he appeared beside him and slashed at the head of the Mist Shadow Monster with his sword!
With a soft "plop!"
The head of the Shadow Monster was cleaved in two by the broadsword, and it froze instantly before falling straight down.
"It's done...we've taken care of that Fog Shadow Monster!"
Everyone was invigorated by this sight, and they all showed excitement.
At the same time, more than twenty archers continuously fired deep black arrows, suppressing the lantern ghost.
Many people shouted and worked together to install the new gate on top of the courtyard.
As the spirit patterns on the courtyard gate bloomed, the group of lantern ghosts could only be unwillingly blocked outside.
A look of relief, as if they had escaped death, appeared on everyone's faces.
However, the thought that four of them had died in the fight against this shadowy creature weighed heavily on their hearts.
Wang Tieming, panting, turned to look at the large group of people, a burning passion igniting in his heart.
With enough manpower, we can really kill the Fog Shadow Monster!
Perhaps it's time for the way of life that Black Mountain Village has always lived to change!
He wanted to build a camp that was completely under his control!
……
One night passed.
The Shen brothers seized the opportunity when the Shadow Monster faded into the darkness and quickly left Liu Ergou's house.
Before leaving.
Shen Yi did not forget to destroy this upgraded Zhenyin wooden house!
With a thought in his mind.
Liu Ergou's house collapsed instantly, with numerous sparks flying everywhere, leaving only a pile of dry, rotten wood debris in the blink of an eye!
This was the first time Shen Yi had used his ability to destroy folk artifacts.
He was somewhat surprised by what he saw; he really hadn't expected that the destruction of folk artifacts would be so swift and decisive.
"You're not even going to give me a single piece of information?"
He muttered to himself.
Without looking back, he disappeared into a secluded alley and hurried home.
We arrived home very quickly.
The gate to the courtyard was wide open.
The two brothers quickened their pace and entered the courtyard.
Upon seeing their younger sister Shen Yuan in the courtyard, both of them breathed a sigh of relief.
"Little sister, we're back!" Shen Kun said with a bright smile.
However, Shen Yuan remained unmoved and did not even raise her head when her second brother greeted her.
His face clearly showed the fatigue of a night of hard work, and he went about his business.
I ignored him.
Upon seeing this, Shen Kun's smile froze.
As Shen Yi entered the courtyard, he saw a pile of monster corpses.
Among them is a lantern ghost...
There are also two Fog Shadow Monsters!
next moment.
After finishing her work, Shen Yuan picked up the arranged Yin Soul Wood and went straight to Shen Yi to put it down.
Then, he took out two more Fog Shadow Stones from his pocket and pressed them onto Shen Yi's chest.
Shen Yi raised his hand and caught it.
"One hundred and forty-two pieces of Yin Soul Wood, and two Mist Shadow Stones."
She spoke in a flat tone, then turned and left.
"I'm going to prepare breakfast."
"Little sister, we went to Liu Ergou's place and were a little late, so we couldn't get back last night," Shen Yi said from behind her.
Upon hearing this, Shen Yuan stopped in her tracks.
"I know."
"Isn't it just murder?"
She finally responded, turning to look directly at Shen Yi, and walked towards him step by step, her tone casual.
"Do you think I, Shen Yuan, am incapable of doing this, which is why you're sending me away to do it?!"
"Or do you and my second brother think I'm a burden, a liability..."
Or perhaps, she's a younger sister who needs to be carefully protected by you?
"I'm telling you, what you can do, I can do too! What you can kill, I can kill as well!"
Shen Yi looked down at Shen Yuan in front of him.
Tears welled up in her eyes, but her gaze was filled with stubbornness and seriousness.
He gritted his teeth and said each word firmly.
"In this family, there are some things that not only you and your second brother can do, but I can too!"
"We are...three siblings!"
