One Punch Monk

Chapter 77 Letter from Family (Please order first!)
"Roar!"

The white-fronted tiger let out a roar that shook the sky, and it ran wildly with Shen Budu and Mingyue on its back.

The roar of the tiger came out, and the animals and ordinary monsters in the forest trembled and avoided them one after another.

Don't look at the white-fronted tiger's appearance as a cute little tiger in front of Shen Budu. In its territory, it knows the mountains, but it is a tiger that has dominated for more than ten years. Naturally, it has a great deterrent effect on the creatures in the mountains and forests.

The huge tiger was bouncing up and down, Mingyue was holding on to the monk's robe so as not to fall off, and Shen Budu was hugging the tiger's neck.

To be honest, as a mount, although the white-fronted tiger looks cool and extremely fast, the actual riding experience is not good at all.

The mountain wind howled, and the scenery in front of me was constantly receding.

"stop!"

The white-fronted tiger slammed on the brakes and stopped steadily.

Shen Budu jumped down, looked at the bonfire camp in the forest next to the plank road, and tried to make a judgment.

The traces left here are still very fresh, and it seems that they were left not long ago. Could it be related to the sound of Meridian Valley?

Shen Budu walked into the bonfire camp and began to observe carefully.

After pulling the fire, there was a layer of burnt white ash inside, which should have been produced when camping last night.

Hanging wine sacs were also found on the treetops, and there was still a little wine left in them.

Mingyue came over, leaned closer and smelled it, and said affirmatively.

"This is Berkshire's White Ape Drunk."

Seeing that Shen Budu was a bit puzzled, Mingyue said a little embarrassedly: "Bajun is very close to Xiangfan Road, just across the Three Gorges, and the people there make a very famous White Ape Drunk. My senior sister and I tasted it secretly before."

"So, these people are from Hanzhong Mansion?"

"maybe."

Mingyue shook her head slightly, and explained: "According to geography, Hanzhong Mansion belongs to Xichuan Road in Jiannan, but a while ago, because the area south of Dongchuan Road in Jiannan was invaded by the Southern Xinjiang Gu Kingdom, the Empress assigned Hanzhong Mansion to Jiannan Dongchuan Road. These people may have escaped from Hanzhong Mansion, or they may be businessmen or refugees from Berkshire who were unable to go south and return home, so they fled north for their lives."

"Understood, continue to search nearby."

The white-fronted tiger's sense of smell is more sensitive, and it led Shen Budu to the side of the plank road. After a while, Shen Budu found some overturned carriages and dead horses.

Shen Budu squatted down to check the horses.

The death of the horse was very tragic. It seemed that something had disemboweled it. All the intestines and internal organs fell out, and even the blood did not flow. It is conceivable what kind of pain it experienced before death.

If it was an ordinary person, they would have spit out long ago when they saw this scene. Fortunately, after a series of things, Shen Budu's ability to bear has become much stronger.

The white-fronted tiger's nose twitched slightly, and after confirming that there was no danger around it, it walked in the same direction as Shen Budu had come.

At this time, Mingyue walked over, and she said, "There is a corpse in the distance in that direction, but it has no breath."

Shen Budu was about to go forward, but Mingyue stopped him suddenly.

"what happened?"

Mingyue's face was a little weird, she whispered: "Just wait a moment."

After finishing speaking, she took out the things in her hands and handed them to Shen Budu.

"what is this?"

After taking what Mingyue handed over, Shen Budu asked suspiciously.

"An unfinished letter from home."

The jute paper was stained with blood, and the blood smeared on the dim yellow inferior paper, seriously affecting the recognition of the handwriting, but if you look carefully, you can still see clearly what is written in this unfinished letter from home.

This is a letter from a merchant from Ba County, Dongchuan Road, Jiannan, to his wife.

It is not very accurate to say this, because in the case of the cut off of the southern road, if you want to send a letter, you have to go southeast from Lantian to Wuguan to Xiangfan Road, and then go up the river to Berkshire, which is basically impossible in theory. .

So this letter is not so much written for the mother-in-law as it is for me to express my mood when I am bored, as can be seen from the rough jute paper and the crooked handwriting.

Therefore, the words are quite frivolous, and there is no lack of dirty words between the lines, no wonder Mingyue's complexion is a little weird.

But this letter still provided a more important clue, and at the end was a sentence written scribbled,

"The rotting demon that jumped from the top of the mountain"

Rotten, this feature can be matched with the water ghost and the little boy in the well before; and the water ghost has been drowned for many years, since "demon" is mentioned again, it means that the things that infect the water ghost and kill the merchant should be It is not a ghost, it may be a monster, or it may be a spirit; as for jumping from the top of the mountain, it can be inferred that the enemy has no flying ability, but has a strong jumping ability.

"Aura can't detect any monsters nearby, let's continue to search."

Mingyue suggested.

Shen Budu nodded in agreement.

The white-fronted tiger continued to move forward with the two of them, and soon found another plank road.

The plank road is a bit messy, and there are many footprints left by people who have passed by. Obviously, these people have also walked here.

Fresh footprints appeared on the cliff, and the tiger continued to walk up the mountain along the footprints, and soon came to the edge of a protruding rock, and then stood on the rock and looked aside.

Shen Budu jumped off the rock, went to the entrance of the cave and looked in, the cave was not deep, it could only accommodate one person in and out, and the walls of the cave were a little uneven, which seemed to be some kind of impact marks.

"There's a cave here, go in and have a look."

The two were walking in the cave, and the white-fronted tiger was guarding the exit outside, when a gust of wind blew in, Mingyue felt the chill behind her, and couldn't help shivering.

The two walked cautiously. After entering, the two discovered that the inner wall of the cave was covered with vines. These vines were green in color with a faint red color on them, like blood vessels, and there were many fluffy growths on the vines. of spikes.

The shape of these spikes is no different from ordinary thorny vines, except that the color is slightly darker, and it looks sharper than the thorny vines, like steel needles.

After walking for a certain distance, Shen Budu finally saw the situation in the cave clearly.

The cave's floor was covered with thick moss, and the soil on the ground was blue-gray, covered with various spider web-like cracks, as if someone had stepped on it.

And on the flat ground in the center, through the beams of light projected from the cracks on the top of the mountain, one can clearly see not only the bones of many people and animals, but also more than a dozen undead people lying there quietly.

Without exception, large areas of their bodies began to fester, with streams of pus oozing out.

"hiss~"

It sounded like a poisonous snake spitting out a letter, but not exactly the same.

Shen Budu saw that the vines all over the cave started to move!
