Chapter 99: Double-Headed Dragon
"This young man, I know you are a powerful monk. I have a favor to ask of you, can you help me take care of Tiezi?" Liang Dazhu pulled Liang Tie over in front of Guo Fei and said solemnly.
"Uncle Liang, what are you going to do?" Guo Fei saw Liang Dazhu's furious back as he mounted his long gun, looking like he was about to fight someone to the death.
"In a radius of five hundred miles, only that beast has the ability to make everyone in the village die silently. Our village's ancestors even saved it once, and it promised to guard our Xiaoliang Village for three hundred years. Even if it doesn't want to repay kindness, even if it wants to leave here, we won't blame it. It's not worth using such a trick on us. I'll find it to settle the score even after I die."
"Uncle Liang, what did you say?" Guo Fei asked in puzzlement.
"Little brother, please take care of Liang Tie and let him be your servant or something. You two should leave quickly. This beast is very powerful and as long as Tiezi is okay, our ancestors won't blame me." Liang Dazhu wiped away a tear and said in a low voice.
"Mr. Liang, can you make it clear what's going on?" Guo Fei asked in a low voice, becoming increasingly perplexed the more he listened.
"Little brother, you don't know that a hundred years ago, my ancestor from the Liang family saved a dying two-headed serpent. To repay its debt of gratitude, it lived in the Black Dragon Pool and promised to guard our village of Little Liangzi for three hundred years. Who would have thought that this beast repaid kindness with enmity and poisoned everyone in our village?"
"Old Liang, are you sure it was him?" Guo Fei asked with some doubt.
"In this area of five hundred miles, only it has this ability. I will go to find it even if I die." Liang Dazhu disappeared into the darkness with his long spear.
Guo Fei looked at his expression and knew he couldn't stop him, so he could only sigh and let him leave.
"Dad!" Liang Tie, who had been silent until now, suddenly shouted and pulled out the bow and arrow he was carrying with him, chasing after them.
"Get back, save your life, don't let our Liang family be cut off from having children!" Guo Fei only heard a loud explosion outside, and Liang Tie was slapped back into the courtyard by Liang Dazhu.
"Liang Tie, how far is Heilongtan from here?" Guo Fei pulled up Liang Tie who was lying on the ground and looked at Liang Dazhu who was running out of the village.
"It's far from the Black Dragon Pool, but there is a secret cave ten miles outside the village. Inside, there is an underground river that connects to the Black Dragon Pool. If you throw stones into it, you can notify the Double-Headed Serpent. This is our village's secret. My father must have gone there. Big brother, please go and rescue my father! He's no match for the Double-Headed Serpent. When I was young, I often played in the cave and met it many times. It's extremely powerful. If my father fights with it, he will definitely die."
"This case is suspicious, from the corpse's appearance, it doesn't seem like they died of poisoning. Moreover, every household has closed their doors tightly, with only a small gap in the windows. According to my speculation, if the Double-Headed Python were to come to this village, it would be impossible for it not to destroy any houses and kill everyone without leaving any traces. Therefore, I deduce that it's unlikely to be the work of the Double-Headed Python."
"Big brother, if you say so, then why didn't you stop my father?" Liang Tie asked urgently.
"If it's not the Double-headed Serpent's doing, it shouldn't harm your father. Let your father tell it to listen, if it has feelings for your village, it should come to help. This matter seems fishy, the other party's background is probably very big, we're probably no match for them." Guo Fei thought deeply.
Guo Fei stood in the center of the courtyard, looking at this small mountain village, feeling a sense of unease. As the night deepened, it seemed that a very thick death aura was rising up, and this death aura made Guo Fei feel a very dangerous message.
If it were another cultivator, they might not have discovered it, but Guo Fei could sense it because this death energy was extremely similar to the death energy emanating from the Corpse Soldier Hall. Guo Fei was extremely familiar with the death energy of the Corpse Soldier Hall, which could repair the physical bodies of injured corpse soldiers and even their souls, a very rare occurrence.
"Could it be that a ghost tribe cultivator has arrived here." Guo Fei's heart rose with a faint sense of worry, and he pulled Liang Tie into the room.
Although Guo Fei had dealt with the Ghost Tribe many times, if he had to choose, he would rather fight against the Demon Tribe than provoke the Ghost Tribe. The dark soul bodies of the latter were unpredictable and difficult to defend against, not to mention their bizarre and unpredictable forms made them hard to deal with.
He placed the Xuan Tie sword beside him, Guo Fei closed his eyes and sat quietly, actually sinking all his heart into the Xuan Tie sword, letting it feel whether there were any strange objects in the surrounding space.
Liang Tie looked at Guo Fei like this, and he was also a bit nervous, tremblingly said: "Elder brother, why don't we start a fire?"
The house was indeed very cold, and although Liang Tie had been hunting since he was a child and had a strong physique, he felt inexplicably fearful, especially with the two corpses in the rooms on either side. Although they were his grandparents, sitting upright in the dark room still made him feel inexplicably tense and afraid, to the point where his body was chilled and trembling uncontrollably.
"Stay close to me, don't leave!" Guo Fei frowned and whispered to Liang Tie.
"Whoosh!" Time was not long, a mysterious whirlwind suddenly blew in, blowing open the door of the house. The whirlwind stirred up waves of snowflakes and mixed with a black mist, but it was unclear in the dark night.
"Clang!" The Xuan Tie sword suddenly left its scabbard, a dazzling white light shot into the swirling fog. Inside, a face seemed to emerge, looking extremely ferocious. The face was illuminated by the white light, let out a strange cry of "Hiss!", and the whirlwind suddenly retreated, fleeing in all directions.
This happened in the blink of an eye. However, Liang Tie also saw it and was so frightened that his body shook violently as he leaned tightly against Guo Fei, still trembling uncontrollably. After all, he was just a child, and encountering such a bizarre event had left him shaken.
"Big brother, am I really useless!" Half an hour later, Liang Tie gradually recovered and said in a low voice.
"Haha, you're already quite good. If I were to see such a strange thing at your age, I'd probably be scared to death. But you just trembled for a moment and it passed quickly, which shows that you're a brave person." Guo Fei said with a smile.
"Father!" Liang Tie seemed to suddenly remember something and jumped up from his seat, wanting to rush out.
"Sit down!" Guo Fei pulled him back with a low voice: "If you go out now, it's sending yourself to death. I also can't protect you. What did your father tell you? Have you forgotten?"
"Hiss!" Two more hours passed, and a loud noise came. Guo Fei and Liang Tie rushed out to check, only to see a water bucket-sized, double-headed dragon with black scales all over its body, its head resembling a dragon's head, revealing fierce fangs, and two dragon whiskers fluttering in the air. Under its body were four long sharp claws, carrying Liang Dazhu, and the four claws moved rapidly as it rushed forward.
This is obviously the double-headed python in Liang Dazhu's mouth.
"What kind of person is he?" The Double-Headed Turtle rushed to the front gate of the courtyard, staring at Guo Fei in a low voice. Only to see its big mouth moving, and it actually produced human language.
"Beast Ancestor, this person is a traveling monk who has come to take shelter." Liang Dazhu jumped down from the body of the Double-Headed Python and said in a deep voice.
"Master!" The two-headed python's heads stared at Guo Fei, saying in a deep voice. It made Guo Fei feel very uncomfortable, as the python's deep voice was face-to-face with him, and he couldn't accept it for a moment.
"Li Tie, come here!" The Double-headed Crocodile seemed extremely familiar with the people of Xiao Liangzi Village and called out to Li Tie.
Liang Tie seemed to trust it as well and walked over quickly.
"Hiss!" Liang Tie walked to the side of the Double-Headed Python, and suddenly a blue light shadow appeared outside its body. It opened its mouth and shot out an ice arrow, which flew towards Guo Fei with a whistling sound.
