Chapter 45: Thanking the Mountain God
The moon is hanging in the middle of the sky, the sky is full of stars, the night is deep, and the bright moon and stars hanging high in the sky emit a bright light, which becomes more and more dazzling.
In the mountains, there is an isolated and quiet thatched hut. A yellow candlelight shines through the window sill, which is particularly conspicuous in the darkness. The mountain breeze blows across the eaves, and whispers are heard, followed by a woman's soft and charming laughter that makes people imagine a lot.
In this mountain house, there seems to be a group of charming women gathered here, talking about their private affairs at night.
"Uncle Lin!"
A group of hunters holding strong bows and carrying machetes gathered together. The young man, whose hair had not yet faded, nervously held the machete on his waist, staring at the thatched house with a candle lit at night with a pale face.
The thatched hut was a place for the hunters living at the foot of the mountain to rest temporarily and avoid wild animals in the mountains when they were too late to go down the mountain at night.
If there were pure hunters from other villages, it would be fine, but what was the matter with this woman's laughter? Which man would bring his wife with him when hunting?
"Shut up!"
The middle-aged man with a beard looked at the thatched cottage hidden in the woods with a serious expression. Strange things often happened in the mountains and forests, but even for him, the number of times he encountered them was very few.
"Back off, let's go somewhere else!"
The other three hunters had no objection. They went into the mountains to hunt to make a living, not to risk their lives. The current situation was obviously not right, and it would be wise to retreat in time. They had wives and children at home waiting for them to support them.
"It's getting late, and I see that you are all exhausted. Why don't you go inside and rest for a night before going home?"
Just as these hunters were retreating slowly in tacit understanding, the laughter in the forest house stopped abruptly, and then the door of the forest house was pushed open from the inside accompanied by a sour creaking sound.
A gorgeous woman in a gauze skirt appeared at the door of the wooden house. Under the moonlight, one could see that the woman's shoulders were half exposed and her calves were bare, dazzlingly white. Moreover, the gauze skirt seemed transparent, and her graceful figure could be vaguely seen.
Gulp!
Several sounds of swallowing saliva were heard at the same time. For these rough hunters from the mountains, such beauty was simply a killer.
"What a nice view!"
Even the young hunter who had been frightened to the point of turning blue before, now looked like a lustful pervert, his face flushed and his breathing became heavy.
"What strong men! Sister, please invite them into the house quickly! I can't wait any longer!"
At this time, another beautiful and charming face poked out from the window of the thatched hut and said with a smile.
"Please come in, warriors! Today, you sisters and I happen to be here to rest. It is fate that we meet here, and it is fate that we meet warriors. You sisters and I are willing to serve you well and let you enjoy the joys and beauty of the world."
The gorgeous woman with heavy make-up laughed, and as her words fell, the hunters, who had originally looked cautious, now had their eyes wide open, their faces flushed, and they looked impatient.
"My dear sister, I haven't seen you for a few days. Your charm has improved. These good men were immediately bewitched by you and lost their minds!"
The "beauty" who stuck her head out of the window smiled, and below her neck was a furry body, which looked extremely strange under the moonlight.
"After absorbing the yang energy of these good men, I should be able to become like my sister. I hope I can wear beautiful clothes, otherwise it would be a pity to only have my head!"
"Xiao Qi, you can't eat alone. Good things should be shared with sisters like me. The night is still long!"
The woman looked at the hunters in front of her who had confused her mind and were now full of animal instincts. Her eyes narrowed slightly, hiding greed and desire. Under her skirt, a long furry tail hung down.
But how could the hunter have the rationality to make such a judgment at this time?
Awoo——
But just as these hunters were about to enter the forest hut, a long wolf howl was heard, followed by a vast golden light that swept across the mountains and forests like a surging tide.
The gorgeous woman standing outside the house changed her expression greatly, but before she could react, the surging golden light had already engulfed her. Amidst the shrill wails, endless black air rose from her delicate body. Then, strands of hair grew from her fair body, and the body, which made people imagine a lot, expanded and transformed into a huge red fox.
However, when the red fox revealed its true form, tore the gauze apart, and fell to the ground, it was already dead and looked like a corpse.
At that time, shrill screams were heard in the wooden house, but soon it returned to silence, without any sound. All that could be seen was a fox as big as a domestic dog hanging limply on the window sill.
At the moment when the fox demon died, the hunter, who had been confused by the dream , suddenly woke up and regained his sanity. Recalling everything that had just happened, looking at the huge fox corpse lying on the ground, he couldn't help but tremble all over and sweat profusely, and then a feeling of relief for surviving the disaster surged in his heart.
But before they could be happy for too long, the hunter, who had just been rejoicing over his escape from the mouth of the mountain monster, was horrified to find that they were happy too early.
"Uncle Lin, wolves, so many wolves!"
The young hunter, whose facial hair had not yet completely fallen off, had trembling legs. He could not see the vast golden light, but he could see the pupils reflecting the dark green light in the night. Those were the eyes of a wolf.
At this moment, the dark green light was densely scattered all around them. It could be seen in every direction and there was nowhere to escape.
"I saw it!"
The experienced middle-aged hunter sighed helplessly, and his expression became calm at this moment.
"I have taken from the mountains for so many years, and now is the time to repay my debt!"
What else could he say? The number of wolves in front of him was obviously abnormal, and he had encountered monsters twice in a row in the mountains. He could only blame his bad luck for such a fate.
"Oh, what a pity! I died in the hands of a monster . It would be better to die in the belly of a vixen. At least I can experience this for once!"
There were also hunters who couldn't help but sigh, but they were lamenting that they didn't become a playboy.
But before these guys could say anything more, they saw a group of fierce mountain wolves rushing to the forest house, dragging away the incredibly large fox and the corpses of several foxes in the house that were larger than ordinary foxes, without even looking at them.
The five hunters were a little disheveled in the mountain wind, but when they came to their senses, the wolves had disappeared completely, and they were safe and sound, without even a hair lost on their bodies.
"Uncle Lin, we are fine, the wolves are gone!"
"Yeah, the wolves are gone!"
"But what is going on?"
"Mountain God, it must be the blessing of the mountain god !"
Even if a hunter swore solemnly, he immediately knelt on the ground and kowtowed to the silhouette of the mountain reflected in the night sky...
