Chapter 61: Accidentally Entering a Monster Village
After a series of hardships, Liu Yu and his group continued their journey.
That day, they entered a village that appeared peaceful and serene. The houses in the village were arranged in a pleasing, orderly fashion, and wisps of smoke rose from their chimneys; everything seemed perfect.
Liu Yu stretched and said, "This place looks nice, let's rest here for a while."
Everyone nodded in agreement and entered the village.
As soon as they entered the village, they saw an old man sitting in the doorway, basking in the sun. Liu Yu went up to him and said, "Grandpa, we're just passing by and would like to ask for a drink of water."
The old man looked up at them with a strange look in his eyes, but still pointed to the well next to him.
Liu Yu thanked the old man and went to the well to fetch water. When he lifted the bucket, he noticed a strange shadow in the water, which looked like a distorted face.
"Ouch!" Liu Yu was startled and dropped the bucket.
Xu Xian ran over and asked, "What's wrong?"
Liu Yu pointed at the well and said, "There's something in the water!"
Everyone looked into the well, but there was nothing there.
"Perhaps you've misjudged," Bai Suzhen said.
They continued walking and found that there was no one in the village.
"Why is this village so quiet?" Xiaoqing asked, puzzled.
Suddenly, a gust of wind blew by, rustling the leaves.
Liu Yu couldn't help but shiver: "Why does this wind feel so chilly?"
Just then, a child ran out of a house, saw them, and then screamed and ran back inside.
"What's wrong with this child?" Xu Xian asked.
Liu Yu said, "Let's go take a look."
They entered the room, which was filled with a pungent smell. In a corner of the room, the child was huddled under the table, trembling.
Liu Yu squatted down and said gently, "Little friend, don't be afraid, we are not bad people."
The child said tremblingly, "You must leave quickly, there's a monster here!"
Liu Yu and the others were startled: "A monster? Where is it?"
The child pointed out the window: "They'll come out at night."
Liu Yu and his group decided to find a place to stay in the village first and see what was going on that night.
Night fell, and the village was plunged into darkness. Liu Yu and the others hid in a house, too afraid to make a sound.
Suddenly, a strange sound came from outside, like someone crying or laughing at the same time.
Liu Yu looked out the window and saw a group of figures moving in the moonlight.
"My God, there really is a monster!" Liu Yu was so scared she almost screamed.
Xu Xian gripped Bai Suzhen's arm tightly: "What should we do?"
Xiaoqing said, "Don't be afraid, I'm here!"
They quietly opened the door and went out.
The monsters immediately surrounded them upon seeing them. Only then did Liu Yu realize that these monsters were strangely shaped; some had three eyes, and some had a pair of wings.
A monster bared its fangs and brandished its claws, saying, "You humans, how dare you trespass into our village!"
Liu Yu stammered, "Misunderstanding, misunderstanding. We didn't know this was your village."
Another monster said, "Now that you're here, you're not leaving!"
As they spoke, the monsters pounced on them.
Xiaoqing brandished her sword and fought against the monsters. Liu Yu also picked up a stick and waved it around haphazardly.
"Hey, don't hit me!" Liu Yu shouted as she dodged.
Bai Suzhen then used her magic to help Xiaoqing.
Xu Xian, trembling with fear, cried out, "Amitabha, Amitabha..."
Just as they were locked in a fierce battle, a burst of laughter suddenly rang out.
"Hahahaha!"
Everyone stopped and looked in the direction the sound came from. A fat monster emerged.
The fat monster said, "Stop fighting, stop fighting, this is a misunderstanding."
Liu Yu, panting heavily, said, "Misunderstanding? You scared us half to death."
The fat monster said, "Few outsiders come to our village, so everyone is quite nervous."
It turns out that these monsters weren't bad people; they just looked a bit strange.
Liu Yu said, "You can't just scare people like that."
The monsters apologized and invited Liu Yu and his friends to their homes.
In the monster's house, Liu Yu and his friends saw all sorts of strange things.
There are flying teapots, singing brooms, and chairs that can transform.
Liu Yu curiously touched this and that.
"This is so much fun!" Liu Yu exclaimed.
The monsters also offered them delicious food.
Liu Yu took a bite; the taste was strange, but he still swallowed it: "Mmm, delicious, delicious."
Everyone laughed.
Just then, the system spoke: "Host, a new mission has arrived."
Liu Yu's heart tightened: "Another mission?"
The system said, "These monsters' treasures have been stolen by an evil wizard. You must help them get them back."
Looking at the pitiful state of the monsters, Liu Yu said, "No problem, leave it to us!"
And so, they embarked on their quest for treasure once more...
