Chapter 251 Illusions and Crazy Villagers
The place where the group landed was the outer wilderness of Nanjiao Village. Xu Dong took a look at the surroundings and found some traces of abandoned houses. Because most of the residents of Nanjiao Village were built their own houses along the river for convenience. Unexpectedly, they encountered a rare flood in ten years and suffered heavy losses. Therefore, the new village head moved the reconstruction of the village to a location far away from the river, which is why abandoned houses can be seen.
The advantage of going downstream is to save time, at least half an hour earlier than expected. After a large group of people landed, Cheng Jianbang came over quietly and asked in a low voice, "Lord Xu, you just said that you and Yang Shaoting had met in Nanjiao Village. What does this mean?"
Although Chengjianbang is the camp owner of the door guard army, after all, it does not have much intersection with the villages under the rule of Blood Helmet City, so it is also appropriate not to know the details.
Xu Dong explained: "At that time, the new village head who presided over the reconstruction of Nanjiao Village was a distant relative of the Yang family, named Yang Shenghua. With the strength of the Yang family, how can a Nanjiao village be paid attention to? But Yang Shaoting will actually appear here. Don't you think it's very interesting?"
Cheng Jianbang's expression suddenly sank, "Do you mean that the Yang family has already had the intention to rebel, and had already made a layout before His Highness Chen Guang showed his identity? How is this possible! The Yang family also opened their teeth and claws in the Blood Helmet City. Out of the Blood Helmet City, even the small family in the Iron Boots City can not sell his account. How can they know these things? It doesn't make sense at all!"
Xu Dong did not distinguish from him, but said, "City camp owner, let the brothers put on the crossbows and arrows. When you enter Nanjiao Village, you will know whether what I said is true or not.
Under Xu Dong's emphasis, the main equipment in the hands of the 30 guards at this time is the military crossbows. Although these military crossbows have many shortcomings, such as shooting the rear crossbows, it takes a full minute to re-wrap the arrows, such as the range of only 50 meters, and it is very heavy and inconvenient to operate.
However, under so many shortcomings, the military crossbow can still become one of the standard equipment in the army, which shows that its advantages are also very prominent. First of all, it is attack power. It is no problem to penetrate the flesh and blood armor of the four-star awakener. Secondly, it is stability. As long as you keep your hands stable when shooting, it is often very easy to hit after aiming at the target.
In contrast, the role that bows and arrows can play is far worse. Because military standard equipment pays attention to the echo of the life circuit, how much power can be echoed by the number of six teams of soldiers? How much role can the arrow shot by such power play?
Therefore, crossbows and arrows are the best equipment at present.
There was one thing, but Xu Dong did not say it. He vaguely felt that what he would face was probably an armed and military-trained team. And the combat effectiveness that a battalion can echo is equivalent to a four-star awakener. Therefore, crossbows and arrows are actually the only choice.
Xu Dong released a clockwork open road and relied on its sensitive sense of smell to determine whether there was an ambush around him. I don't know whether it's lucky or unfortunate. There is no one in this area.
Nanjiao Village chose to rebuild one kilometer away from the landing point, and there was a circle of slope around it, so the group was able to climb up the slope quietly without being found. When they climbed to the top and took a look, even Xu Dong couldn't help staring and was extremely shocked by what he saw in front of him. Some people even rubbed their eyes, full of incredible look.
The number of villagers in Nanjiao Village is much larger than that in Beijiao Village. Even if more than 500 people were taken away by Xu Dong on that day, there were still nearly 400 households left. 400 households have at least 400 houses, right? Moreover, at this time, the villagers' demand for houses is not only as simple as living inhabiting, but also the place where firewood should be piled behind the house, poultry and livestock should be kept in captivity. Therefore, the area of the house must be at least 150 square meters to barely meet the demand.
Therefore, under the unified planning, Nanjiao Village has designed the living area into an irregular rectangle in an orderly manner, making full use of every piece of land in this area.
Of course, such a planning style is not a big deal. Naturally, it is impossible for Xu Dong and his party to show such a stunned look.
It is because a huge almost transparent light film appeared in the Nanjiao Village under the hillside! This light film extends outward from the center of the southern corner village, covering at least 60% or 70% of the area. The image point is that a circle is drawn in the rectangle, and the circle intersects the four sides of the rectangle...
And this light film also looks quite unique. The texture is like a bubble blown by Xu Dong's chewing gum all his life. It is full of soft touch and even ripples with the breeze, as if it will break with a gentle poke of his finger.
In fact, someone has picked up a dead branch on the ground and threw it. After the dead branch hit the light film, it really sank slightly, and then bounced back at the same speed. The guy who threw the branch was also powerful and almost used all his strength, so he couldn't dodge it for a moment. He was hit hard on his helmet by the branch and shook it twice as if he were drunk before he recovered.
It can be seen that this light film actually has such a resilient defense ability. If you are not fully sure, the consequence of reckless action can only be injured by the light film rebound attack!
Through the light film, Xu Dong and others finally saw Chenguang's motorcade. At this moment, except for Chenguang's own car, the other people's cars have hurriedly served as a fortification and were temporarily placed in a circle around the outermost part. The two guard guards sent by Cheng Jianbang to defend His Highness Chenguang were holding shields, knives, guns and even crossbows behind the carriage, pointing out as if facing a great enemy.
Because there is a large group of villagers holding hoe sickle outside the carriage!
This is the fundamental reason why Xu Dong and his party were stunned!
What's going on?!
This question emerged from everyone's hearts at the same time.
You need to know the system at this time. The village head controls the power of life and death. To some extent, the villagers are the private property of the village head. Xu Dong has already had a deep understanding of this. Therefore, generally speaking, as long as the tax levied by the village head is not heavy, the villagers are also very happy to bow their eyebrows. After all, they have long been used to being submissive from the bottom of their bones.
And not long after the reconstruction of Nanjiao Village was completed, it was time for a hundred wastes. Thinking about it, Yang Shenghua is not a person without common sense. He knows that the way to accumulate wealth should be taken slowly, so the tax aspect is not heavy. Therefore, the current state of the villagers should be that life has just been hopeful. There is absolutely no reason to besiege His Royal Highness Chenguang and put on a murderous posture!
What's more, the two sides are definitely not at the same level in terms of strength! To put it bluntly, these villagers are even awe of the ordinary people in the Blood Helmet City. How dare they take out a hoe and sickle to point to the owners of large and small rich families, the lord of Mondo Hall and even His Royal Highness Chenguang who are more advanced than ordinary citizens?
Cheng Jianbang's face is very ugly. Obviously, he also noticed a detail, "Lord Xu, you see, those villagers are men, women, old and tender, and everyone is sluggish and slow to move, as if they have been charmed! But..."
Xu Dong knows what he is. Charm is one of the cultivation directions of intellectual awakeners. The colored fox he met before once used charm to force other competitors to attack prayers, and he took advantage of the fisherman. However, manpower is sometimes poor, and even intelligent temperers who are proficient in spiritual skills can never charm thousands of people in one breath!
At this time, a spiritual light flashed in Xu Dong's mind, and his expression suddenly sank. He said coldly, "What if this is not the charm of spiritual skills at all? I don't know if you have found that Chen Guang and others actually lit a large number of torches.
Cheng Jianbang looked at Xu Dong inexperably.
Xu Dong explained patiently, "Only under what circumstances will the torch be lit? Of course, it's time to fall into darkness and can't see anything. But now that the light is very sufficient, how can it be dark? The only explanation is that their vision is also disturbed. Then the role of the light film in front of us is ready to come out, and it is a formation that can make the people inside hallucinate!"
After saying this, Xu Dong said secretly in his heart at the same time, are you finally going to show your true face?!
Phantom array?! Cheng Jianbang's eyes narrowed, and he was looking carefully. Needless to say, he must be looking for a way to break the array. "As long as it is a formation, there must be a life circuit depicting the array. This array is so huge that it occupies almost 70% of the area of Nanjiao Village. How large should the life circuit be? But Nanjiao Village doesn't seem to have any traces of the layout of the life circuit, is it possible..." Speaking of this, the city can't help but breathe a sigh of coldly, "Is it possible that Nanjiao Village itself is a life circuit of illusion?"
Cheng Jianbang came to his senses and finally realized that what Xu Dong had said before was by no means aimless, and the Yang family, who presided over the reconstruction of Nanjiao Village, absolutely had nothing to do with it. And he quickly took a look at the location of His Royal Highness Chen Guang. Sure enough, the owner and bodyguard of the Liang family of the Yang family had long been missing.
At this time, the villagers who besieged Chenguang suddenly made a move. A strong man held the hoe with his hands and feet and climbed up the carriage in vain, and was about to cross it.
The door guard, which was already facing a big enemy, had no other choice at this time. With the order of the guard, a feather arrow shot out and hit the young man's forehead. The man who climbed to the roof of the carriage was shocked and fell back.
This fall was really small. Immediately, a woman's three-and-a-half-year-year-on child made a sad and howl. She waved the farm tools in her hand and climbed up the carriage quickly, and her face full of tears was full of hatred.
Four arrows shot away without saying a word.
Finally, it seemed that they had poked a hornet's nest. The villagers who were just besieged all launched an attack crazily. Their expressions were full of pain and hatred, as if the group of people hiding behind the convoy were all father-killing enemies!
