This table of strange meat dishes and the conversation just now had already satisfied their appetites. A few of them hastily picked up some vegetarian food, tasted it briefly, and even finished the meal. Maybe they all thought of one thing, food.
As soon as they left, Liu Shenghan was the first to ask about the distribution of monsters around the village.
The nagging grandma was still waiting to set up the dragon gate formation with them. A villager nearby heard the question and came closer: "What, you still want to kill monsters? Killing monsters is easy, we are all happy to eliminate harm for the people. That's it.
This monster... you have killed it, is there any other plan?"
He hesitated, and Jun Aoyan frowned, a little disgusted but assured him clearly: "We don't want anything from the monster - we will kill it, and as for the rest, it's up to you to do whatever you want."
The man suddenly beamed with joy, and his words became much more fluent and crisp. According to him, there are big monsters hiding on the mountainside not far away, the kind that can speak human language, ghosts, and they usually show off their power. They
There is no way to take him
No. The monster still wanders around the area every now and then. His hiding place is in the mountain house of a wealthy family. But until now, no one has dared, and no one can come to the door and deal with this man-eating monster head-on.
Demon.
"Okay, I'll go tomorrow."
After Bai Ya finished speaking, he stood up suddenly, carried his luggage and went to his residence without looking back. His companions followed him one after another, and even Qi Huan felt deeply that he did not dare to talk to these people. He felt uneasy in his stomach.
I'm still in a state of confusion now, maybe it's psychological.
As soon as the rooster crowed the next day, they set off. The four of them met under the eaves.
Qi Huan said worriedly: "Tell me, is the direction that the man gave us last night reliable? Don't get it wrong, or worse, poke a hole in the monster's nest."
"I don't think so." Aoyan analyzed calmly, but even when she said the next words, she felt a chill. "After all, they still count on us to bring them... good luck."
"Now, will I have good luck if I follow you?"
An unfamiliar voice broke into the conversation.
The source of the sound was almost at the back of Liu Shenghan's head. She immediately turned her head but did not distance herself - it was a childish voice. At this time, a head of white hair was hanging under the eaves, which was very eye-catching.
"Hey, have they told you?" The little boy they met yesterday smiled at them, "I am different from those ordinary people. I have wanted to find a monster for a long time, in the village.
No one is reliable. But I can see that you are capable people. I feel that I can rest assured if I follow you. It is too boring here, and I have nothing to do when I have nothing to do. Why don’t I go with you? In this mountain,
I'm more familiar with it than you are."
This is of course impossible.
Bai Ya just said "No way", which was already considered as being less knowledgeable than a child. Qi Huan kindly persuaded the child and told him to go cool off and play in the mud. If he wanted to...eat meat.
, thinking about it, he will be indispensable, so there is no need to be impatient.
Whether soft or hard, everyone's attitude is very firm. This child seems to be very mysterious, there is something they don't understand, and he is a member of this weird mountain village. Besides, in the final analysis, he is still a child, and they are not
I will take a child to take risks. I will convince him not to
Looking at them, the boy was very unhappy. He stretched his face at them, stuck out his tongue, bared his teeth and made a face. He muttered and climbed up to the eaves. When they walked out of the yard, Liu Shenghan looked back. The eyes behind him were
There was literally no human figure as far as the eye could reach.
Just such an incident was just an episode. The rooster had just crowed for the first time, and the village had not yet woken up. The four of them walked along the empty path and passed the last house at the entrance of the village without any hindrance. They never met anyone in the village again.
Others. Mountain mist is still suspended on the road, entangled around their feet
The edge makes the path among the weeds even more obscure and difficult to walk. The people walking behind simply no longer look forward, only staring at the heels of the person in front, while widening their eyes to identify the footings among the grass and trees. Only the ones in the front
Bai Ya had to look down and up to avoid losing his way.
As he was walking, his foot suddenly stopped. Qi Huan didn't recover and bumped into his back.
"Hey, no, Lao Bai, you took the wrong path? I told you that if there is a cliff ahead, you have to tell me. I can't hold back my strength and I have to fight you..."
He gradually lost his voice and stuck his head out to stare blankly at the small figure not far away. The shadow looked quite cheerful, jumping up and down and coming closer, waving to them.
"No, what's the matter with you kid? I told you to stay well in the village. At worst, we are waiting for you at the entrance of the village to see you off..."
"How did you get ahead of us?"
Bai Ya interrupted Qi Huan's confused babble and stared at the child who walked closer.
"I'm already here, so why don't you take me to play?" The boy ignored their questions, stood with his hands on his hips, looked up and smiled at Bai Ya, "I said I am familiar with this mountain, and I am also familiar with monsters.
.If you can't talk to them, you'd better consider taking me with you. Take me with you..."
Bai Ya bypassed him and walked forward. The others looked at him hesitantly, shook their heads, and followed.
As the sun gradually rose, their vision became clearer. The scary thing was that every time they were farther away, the boy appeared waiting for them wherever they could see. Several times, Bai Ya almost lost his temper, and after another
Once I walked up to him and kicked the child's butt: "What on earth do you want to do?"
"I'm not doing anything, I just want you to take me to play." The child grabbed the grass and raised his face, smiling ruthlessly and cunningly.
They had no other choice. After all, they had traveled so far and they were almost there. It would be unrealistic and cost-effective to send the child back. Although the child had not shown any other abilities, at least they could be sure that he could run enough.
Quick, he really looks like a half-demon. If there is any danger, with his cleverness, he can probably avoid holding them back - at least there will be no problem in escaping.
The quiet mountain road became lively. The birds woke up and chirped, and the boy's mouth was broken. Although he was bouncing and following a few adults on the road, he didn't stop talking. From his self-report, they learned
This child is called Mingming, and the sister who is said to have been dead for a long time is
His name is Sheng Sheng. But in his mouth, his sister has never left here, never left him. In the most ordinary tone of a child talking about his playmates, he casually mentioned what his sister had said to him, and talked with him.
They talk about this "sister who they often chat with."
Jun Aoyan couldn't help but ask him: "Where is your sister...?"
"Here, over here."
Mingming poked his chest, which was where his heart was. He was still smiling and kicking the stones on the road when he answered. Liu Shenghan didn't say anything. However, Jun Aoyan vaguely felt in the corner of his eye that when Mingming said these words
At this time, her eyes moved, as if she was thinking about something.
They followed the path that disappeared and appeared for an unknown distance, chatting and talking until something different from the mountains and trees finally appeared in their sight.
It was a house-like building with no courtyard walls. As you got closer, you could see the ruins covered by the uneven vegetation on the ground. The courtyard was almost the same as the forest outside, except that there were more moss-covered courtyards. It's just bricks and stones. Even the outer walls of the mansion in the middle are covered with vines, clearly indicating that it has been abandoned for a long time and is uninhabited.
The five people tensed up and approached the closed door of the house little by little. Bai Ya made a gesture, wanting to drive Mingming aside and wait outside. Who knew what was waiting for them inside? But Mingming could only curl her lips. Outside, there was no reaction at all. Maybe he understood, but he insisted on going his own way and insisted on wading into the muddy water. Bai Ya no longer cared about him, took a breath and pulled out the knife. His companions gathered around him, Jun Aoyan He was also holding a weapon in his hand. Qi Huan felt in his pocket and probably brought some Yin Yang magic props. Liu Shenghan was protecting Mingming behind him. He couldn't see it for a while, but he never worried about this woman - even if She never shows off, but gives people a sense of reliability that seems to come from strength, perhaps from her calm temperament.
Bai Ya held out the tip of the knife and knocked on the half-ruined door tentatively.
There was no response. Judging from the touch in his hand, the door was not locked. He opened the door with all his strength, and the cold air rushed into his face, which made people feel a bit strange. However, there was no one and nothing in front of him. .Only the excessively clean floor made them suspicious.
"Don't come in, don't close the door." Sensing that the others were trying to enter, Bai Ya said warily, without looking back, "It's dark inside the house. Once the door is closed, you can't see clearly."
It's easy to be attacked by surprise.
"You have friends coming from afar...why do you have to stand at the door?"
As soon as Bai Ya finished speaking, a voice echoed loudly and slowly came out from behind the faded screen. Its owner also walked into their field of vision, dressed in brocade clothes, and looked faintly in the light leaking from the door. It can be seen that the elegant dark lines make him look extraordinary. His face also emerges from the shadows. There are two moles under his left eye, adding a different kind of coquettishness. Although the right side of his face is mostly covered by black hair and an eyepatch. , judging from the half of his face exposed, he has a pretty good appearance.
However, appearing in such an abandoned courtyard, even the beauty of the country will only look weirder. Not to mention that the face of this noble young man is still covered with traces like snake scales. Another person appeared shortly after. One of them formed a shocking contrast with him. He had sullen eyebrows and droopy eyes, a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks, two canine teeth protruding from his mouth, and his face was covered with jackal hair. He clearly had his identity as a monster written on his face.
"I'm in Xiayan? I don't know how many distinguished guests came to visit, but they were not welcomed from afar."
His tone was long and drawn out, and his polite words became vaguely unpleasant to a few people.
Leaving aside those who are capable of subduing ten societies with one force, the more mediocre the monster is, the more simple-minded it is. It only acts on instinct and fights and kills. It seems that the monster knows etiquette well, but it is difficult to understand the depth of it, and it is difficult to kill it if it turns against it. Bai Ya frowned again and again, and finally said: "It's you who always disturb, burn, kill, and loot the nearby small villages?"
Yan? There was no response. On the contrary, the jackal demon couldn't hold it back and sneered: "It's a joke. As long as the inferior community wants to kill, it will be killed naturally. Boy, who are you questioning? Be polite to grandpa."
He was too polite. Bai Ya's face turned gloomy. He heard rustling noises behind him, and the remaining people also stood inside the door, forming a confrontation with the two monsters.
