NOVPUBAs Gu Mingde issued the order, everyone moved. They didn't rush out in a swarm, but rather one group moved first, and after a certain distance, the next group followed, each providing cover for the other.
After advancing a short distance, the group in front would pause to observe before continuing. Each pause would be marked with a reminder, especially at turns, to facilitate later withdrawal and the following groups.
Chen Chuan's group was the last to move, but they advanced quickly. By the time it was their turn,
this group started cautiously, but they were surprised to find the vicinity of the village gate completely deserted. The villagers seemed to have no defenses at all.
Upon entering, they found a large group of villagers gathered in the open space in front of the old temple, prostrating themselves with their backs to the entrance. A shaman-like figure was among them, kowtowing while spreading his arms and emitting a long, strange chant. Even stranger, the drum sounds were produced by them hitting the leather drums with their heads, making the whole scene absurd and bizarre.
However, it was precisely this fervent atmosphere that made them completely unaware of the approaching intruders.
Many Commissioners were reinvigorated, secretly praising Chen Chuan's judgment. Coming at this time was indeed most appropriate, making their operation very convenient.
They nodded to each other, slowly moved apart, and each sought a suitable position. By the time the second group arrived, there were about twenty people, each directly taking up bows and crossbows, and shooting at these people.
Based on the situation of the previously captured Flying Head Cult strongholds, these people were immersed in the long-term influence of the Flying Head Monster and could not be saved. They would also attack anyone they saw who was not a member of the Flying Head Cult, so they had to be ruthless this time.
The people in the back were shot down by arrows one by one. The people in the front finally noticed something was wrong, turned around, and looked at the back with red eyes, then roared and charged towards them.
But it was useless. As more and more Commissioners entered, they spread out to both sides, advancing in an arc. At this time, they no longer cared about the noise and began to take out their guns and shoot.
People in the rear were also holding rifles and preparing throwing nets, to defend against the Flying Heads that might appear at any time. For a time, gunfire erupted in the village.
However, until all the believers in sight were shot down, not a single Flying Head appeared. The clients immediately went forward to deliver coup de grace, and then two people came to the entrance of the old temple and looked inside. But as they did so, the two suddenly paused and fell to the ground.
The teammates behind were shocked and were about to step forward when they were pulled back by someone who said urgently, "Don't go up!"
Only a moment later, the people behind were horrified to find that the two teammates had stood up again, but their eyes had become as red as those of the villagers, and they pulled out the daggers from their waists and stabbed towards them.
Fortunately, their attacks were chaotic, and they were quickly subdued by the people behind, but even so, they still struggled and kept screaming.
Looking at their appearance, everyone's expression changed slightly. Even knowing that the problem wasn't too big, they didn't want to become like this.
A Captain said, "Let's retreat. We'll wait for Expert Chen to come and handle it." Everyone agreed and retreated a large circle.
At this time, Chen Chuan and Gu Mingde's group had already entered the village. Seeing that the team members had easily broken in, and even the prepared smoke bombs were not used, Gu Mingde was also very surprised and said, "Didn't they leave anyone to guard the gate?"
Chen Chuan thought this was normal. Supernatural Entities that easily cause people to lose their minds have no normal logic to speak of. If loyalty isn't absolute, then it's absolutely disloyal. Anyone who dares not to kowtow during the sacrifice has probably been taken to feed the Flying Heads long ago.
He observed that there were about seventy or eighty people lying down, almost all of them were strong men. Women, children, and the elderly were nowhere to be seen, which was very abnormal for a village. Thinking of the Flying Heads that came out just now, he also shook his head.
At this time, a client hurried over and told Gu Mingde about the situation ahead.
Gu Mingde looked very serious and turned to Chen Chuan , "Expert Chen, what do you think?"
Chen Chuan said, "Leave the following matters to me, but there should be more Flying Head Monsters inside. If they fly out, I may not be able to stop them all. Captain Gu , you must be careful."
Gu Mingde said, "As long as our weapons can deal with them, we can handle it."
Chen Chuan agreed with this. Facing ordinary Flying Heads, as long as one can maintain rationality, it is not difficult to deal with them. "By the way, please lend me a few more guns, Captain Gu ."
Gu Mingde did not hesitate to hand over his unused pistol to him, then reached out his hand back. His assistant, Pan Zhong , and a Commissioner member behind him came forward and handed over their pistols to him, then turned them over, muzzle down, and handed them to Chen Chuan .
Chen Chuan took them and inserted them all into the waistbands of his jacket. Just as he was about to go inside, Gu Mingde stopped him again and took out a capsule plate from his pocket and handed it to him, "Expert Chen, take this with you too."
Chen Chuan took a look,
this was a plate of "Calming Pills." These were Drugs configured according to the advice of the Government Affairs Hall's consultants. Generally, holding them under the tongue can effectively stabilize the mind. Swallowing them in times of crisis can effectively keep the mind clear.
It can't be said that this thing is useless. It is actually quite effective against one or two Flying Heads. This has been proven before, but against a group of Flying Heads and the source of the Flying Heads, the effect may be limited. However, he still took it and said, "Thank you."
Gu Mingde solemnly said, "Expert Chen, be careful. If things don't go well, please withdraw and come back to think of a solution."
Chen Chuan nodded. He said, "Dealing with the Flying Head Monster may take more than a day. I may come out to get sacrifices before each sacrifice is needed. Please be sure to prepare them."
Gu Mingde had already heard him explain some necessary conditions before and said solemnly, "Expert Chen, we will definitely prepare them."
Chen Chuan drew the Snow Emperor Blade from its scabbard and walked towards the entrance of the old temple. As he approached,
he took out the jade Cheng Zitong had given him and saw that some places on the edges were already slightly blackened. It seemed that this thing did indeed block some harm.
He put it away again and walked inside.
Gu Mingde and others watched his figure gradually disappear into the shadows, their expressions also serious. The source of the Flying Heads is not something that can be defeated by piling up numbers, and this can only rely on experts to solve.
After Chen Chuan walked inside, he saw that this was a path dug out of the mountain wall. The ground was paved with cracked stone slabs, and lamp stands were nailed to the walls on both sides.
After walking seven or eight meters, he saw about six people standing in two rows, shoulder to shoulder, lying there and kowtowing incessantly, muttering something. They seemed completely unaware of what was happening outside.
But when Chen Chuan came in, it seemed to have triggered something. They jumped up from the spot, uttering angry roars and garbled curses.
Chen Chuan looked at these people rushing towards him, simply held his knife in front, blocking the entire passage, and then pushed these people forward.
These people rushed to go forward, but they could not form a joint force at all, and the people at the front were too short to reach Chen Chuan at all, and could only be pushed staggeringly backwards by him.
After walking about three or four meters, they entered the hall of the old temple. At this time, Chen Chuan gently released Internal energy, and a burst of Internal energy broke out. These people immediately flew out in a fan shape and fell to the ground, unable to get up. They seemed to be intact on the surface, but their internal organs and bones were all damaged, and they had completely lost their combat power.
At this time, Chen Chuan looked up and saw that this was a spacious dome-topped building, which should have been a natural cave with artificial modifications. However, there were holes everywhere now, and there were many fishy-smelling puddles on the ground.
At the top, there were several large holes, and sunlight shone in from there. Those Flying Head Monsters should have flown out from there.
In the front, where the statues should have been placed, hung a large gauze curtain that hung down from above, with a vague shadow inside. The Flying Heads were all here just now, and occasionally one or two flew around in the hall.
On the altar in front, there were piles of pigs, sheep, and suspected human limbs. Many Flying Heads were crowded together, gnawing on them, and pushing each other. Bloody, seemingly broken internal organs could be seen hanging from the edges.
Seeing this scene, his eyes revealed a cold light. He immediately took out the Martial Halberd Spear and began shooting at the Flying Heads. The Flying Heads were immediately startled and flew around in a panic.
He emptied the magazine in one breath, and then took out the pistols given by Gu Mingde and others, and fired continuously. After all the bullets from the four guns were fired, six Flying Heads had fallen to the ground one after another.
At this time, it seemed that the gunshots had stopped, and the remaining Flying Heads rushed towards him all at once.
Chen Chuan took a deep breath, threw away the pistol, and waited until the Flying Heads were almost in front of him, seeming to obscure his figure. A snow-bright Blade flash suddenly lit up, followed by a series of sounds of knives cutting through withered skin and bones!
When the light converged, he still maintained the posture of raising the knife, and the Flying Heads that had surrounded him had fallen all over the ground. One of them seemed to be startled and turned back, but before it could go far, it suddenly veered and fell to the ground, instantly smashing into two halves, leaving only a little bit of bone and skin at the top and still connected.
Chen Chuan saw at this moment
However, it seemed that two Flying Heads had run out just now, but they were just ordinary Flying Heads, and there were not many of them. Gu Mingde and others should be able to deal with them.
He glanced at the gauze curtain in front, first reloaded the magazine of the Martial Halberd Spear, and then went up with the knife.
Outside, the client members had been prepared. Hearing a strange scream coming from inside, they knew that a Flying Head Monster might have rushed out.
Dozens of guns and bows and arrows were aimed at the entrance and exit of the old temple. After a while, seeing two black spots flying out from inside, without any care, the sound of gunfire rang out, besides pistols, it also contained a lot of shotguns, which made the two Flying Heads that rushed out had no way to avoid it. They were almost smashed as soon as they got outside, and even the nearby walls appeared with
individual potholes, and when they fell on the ground, it was impossible to tell what they were.
Gu Mingde took a look. The Flying Head ran out from inside, which was good news, indicating that Chen Chuan was progressing smoothly.
In the old temple, Chen Chuan had slowly walked into the curtain. At this moment, he heard the sound of chewing, so he slowly stretched out his knife and opened the curtain. The Flying Head inside immediately stopped chewing and looked back.
After seeing clearly, his eyes narrowed slightly.
The Flying Heads seen before were all terrifying in appearance, and were obviously monsters, but this Flying Head was actually a charming woman with painted eyebrows, a touch of red lips, and rippling eyes. Her black hair was scattered on the altar like a waterfall. After seeing him, her autumn-like eyes looked at him.
