Reborn in the 1980s: Nine Stunning Beauties Get Pregnant Before Marriage
Chapter 176 The New Year Has Arrived!
Alarm bells rang in Chen Yongqiang's mind. He immediately lowered his center of gravity, trying to lock onto any possible approaching threats.
The wind was strange; it was no ordinary mountain wind. He shouted, "Watch out! Everyone, get behind the rocks!"
Fortunately, the gust of wind came and went quickly. When Chen Yongqiang opened his eyes again, the two goats had disappeared without a trace, leaving only two broken hemp ropes hanging from the wooden stakes in the snow.
"The sheep are gone!" Chen Yongqiang pointed his gun around, guarding against any potential dangers.
"The offering has been taken away. After it has eaten its fill, it should leave," Hu Chuyao's voice sounded behind him.
Unfortunately, she was wrong. The evening beast was greedy, and the crisis was not over.
The plume of black smoke returned once more, this time aimed at the Hu family.
"boom--"
A gunshot rang out, temporarily dispelling the black smoke.
The gun in Chen Yongqiang's hand was emitting blue smoke, so he must have fired it.
Hu Jiuhua shouted, "Everyone, grab your torches and form a circle!"
The Hu family members immediately took out a torch from the fire and surrounded Hu Chuyao.
The plume of black smoke retreated into the darkness, moving away from where the firelight could reach.
Knowing that the Xi Beast was afraid of fire, Chen Yongqiang quickly added firewood to the fire, and now this campfire became their reliance in fighting the Xi Beast.
However, just as he threw a few pieces of wood into the fire, he caught a glimpse of several red dots appearing in the distance.
Those were the eyes of a wolf, turned blood red after being controlled by the Twilight Beast.
There wasn't much time to react; those red dots were moving rapidly toward them, sprinting towards them!
"Bang bang bang—"
Three gunshots rang out, followed by the distant howls of wolves and the sound of corpses rolling in the snow.
Chen Yongqiang acted decisively. Under normal circumstances, the wolf pack would retreat after casualties occur.
But these manipulated wolves showed no fear and continued to charge forward recklessly.
"Don't panic, I'm here, these beasts won't get close."
Chen Yongqiang couldn't deal with the Xi Beasts, but when it came to these wolves, no matter how ferocious they were, they were still prey.
Gunshots rang out continuously near the altar, and two more wolves fell to the ground.
The remaining wolves became smarter and started changing their routes constantly. Even with Chen Yongqiang's excellent marksmanship, he missed several shots.
There were still three wolves, but Chen Yongqiang only had two bullets left in his gun.
"We can't miss again." Chen Yongqiang aimed at the wolf charging at the front and predicted its sprint route.
"boom--"
The spent cartridge case bounced off, and another wolf fell.
"boom--"
The next shot also hit the target.
There was one last wolf, which had rushed to within a few meters of the Hu family members, its fangs bared.
"Boom——!"
The last wolf fell with a thud, but the shot wasn't from a rifle; it was the roar of a double-barreled shotgun.
Chen Yongqiang didn't have time to change the bullets, so in desperation, he took out the hunting rifle from his spatial storage.
The scene was in chaos, and the Hu family did not notice this detail. Chen Yongqiang took the opportunity to switch his hunting rifle back to his rifle.
"It's alright!" He walked over to check if the last wolf was completely dead.
"Young friend Yongqiang, thank you so much!" Hu Jiuhua stepped forward to express his gratitude, secretly rejoicing that he had indeed found the right person to ask Chen Yongqiang for help.
Chen Yongqiang kicked the fallen wolf to confirm it was dead, then turned and loaded his gun: "It's what I should do!"
However, the crisis was not over.
"It hasn't left yet!" Hu Chuyao reminded her.
Chen Yongqiang loaded his gun, pointing it at the churning darkness: "Aren't you going to retreat? If you go any further, don't blame me for showing no mercy!"
These words enraged the hidden forces, and a sudden, even more violent, gale arose around the altar!
A howling wind swept in, scattering the campfire in all directions, with sparks drifting in the darkness.
One by one, the torches in the hands of the Hu family members went out, and the last bit of light was completely swallowed up, plunging the entire altar into darkness.
"Bang—bang bang!"
Chen Yongqiang fired shots into the air repeatedly, attempting to scare away the evening beast with the gunfire.
However, darkness was the domain of the Night Beast, and it was not deterred at all; instead, the surging black mist became even more restless and approached.
Just as everyone was about to be completely swallowed by the surging darkness, a dazzling divine light pierced the sky, like a sharp sword cutting through the thick fog, instantly dispersing and driving away the surging black smoke!
Standing in the remaining glimmer of light, Chen Yongqiang held a divine whip in his hand, his gaze fixed on the depths of darkness: "Mountain God, it's almost New Year's, time to clear the mountaintops!"
He was just putting on a show; the God-Slaying Whip was incredibly powerful, but it could only be activated once.
The divine light that pierced through heaven and earth just now was his trump card, obtained by spending two hundred points of his fortune in desperation.
Hu Jiuhua, standing to the side, was already stunned, utterly shocked and incredulous: "This...this could be...the Mountain God's God-Slaying Whip?"
The rest of the Hu family members looked at each other, almost forgetting the lingering crisis around them, staring blankly at the divine object from the mountain god temple in Chen Yongqiang's hand.
The being deep in the darkness seemed to be thoroughly enraged. The dissipated black mist not only did not retreat, but instead rolled and condensed at an even faster speed, emitting an even more chilling malice than before.
Chen Yongqiang sensed that some kind of danger was approaching, but he had exhausted all his means and trump cards.
The divine light on the God-Slaying Whip in his hand had faded, and a layer of cold sweat quietly broke out on his back.
Just as Chen Yongqiang was pondering a solution, a pair of ferocious, giant copper bell eyes vaguely emerged from the depths of the churning black mist!
The Hu family members were so frightened by those giant eyes that they retreated repeatedly.
Hu Chuyao suppressed her heart palpitations, bent down and groped in the darkness, finally touching the Wenwang Drum that had rolled to the side.
However, when she picked it up, she found that the drumhead had been scorched in several places by the sparks that had been blown away earlier, and it could no longer be struck.
The evening beast let out a deafening roar, and, enveloped in a cloud of black mist, pounced towards the group!
A chill ran through Chen Yongqiang's body: "I'm doomed. Am I going to die here tonight?"
Just at this critical moment, the time arrived at midnight.
The New Year is here!
Just then, three distant volleys of firearms rang out from the direction of Shimen Village.
Immediately afterwards, the crackling sound of firecrackers rose like waves, instantly breaking the silence of the mountains and fields.
"This is the human world bidding farewell to the old year!" Chen Yongqiang's earlier guidance to the village chief had an effect.
Almost simultaneously, loud firecrackers also came from the direction of Hujia Village. The two sounds echoed each other in the valley, converging into a commotion that dispelled the hustle and bustle of the old year.
The black mist that was originally rushing towards the crowd paused for a few seconds, startled by the sudden commotion.
Further away, the many plumes of black smoke that had been spreading towards the village were startled and swirled back, all merging into the main fog in front of the altar.
Chen Yongqiang stared intently into the depths of the black mist, where he saw a fierce and resentful aura surging within those enormous, bell-like eyes.
However, under the pressure of the incessant firecrackers and the hustle and bustle of the world, it eventually began to slowly retreat, shrinking little by little into the depths of that dark and mysterious cave.
"That was a close call!" Chen Yongqiang recalled, a chill still running down his spine.
He quickly rekindled the campfire to prevent the black fog from returning.
