"Let me ask you one last time, is it a good thing you did to harass the village and kill and eat people?"
"Oh, you want to raise an army to accuse me?" The jackal demon raised his upper lip to show his teeth, and his voice became ferocious, "Sure enough, inferiors are inferiors and don't overestimate their own capabilities. It's convenient for me to travel a long way to deliver it to my door.
You have to go through those mouthfuls of human flesh every time you go back and forth. Look, what kind of low-level stuff you are carrying..."
He seemed to have discovered some big joke, and laughed wildly, like a jackal barking at night.
"What the hell is this little thing? I said that there is a strange smell in that poor village. It's neither human nor monster, but it looks delicate. According to the rules, this thing is the most despicable thing. Why don't I just get it?
Is this the next word?"
He pounced without warning. Everything seemed to happen at the same second in the lightning flash. Qi Huan's eyes flashed, Mingming and Liu Shenghan were no longer where they were, and Jun Aoyan's heavy Mo Dao whizzed past with the sound of wind.
, causing the jackal monster to scream strangely. However, it never came to fruition.
, in the direction where the jackal demon was dodging, Bai Ya's yin and yang swords were already waiting to meet him, and the jackal seemed to have crashed into the intersection of the blades. When Qi Huan's eyes caught Liu Shenghan and Mingming running out of the door, they
Turning back, Bai Ya's knife was already on the jackal monster's neck.
"Let me remind you, you can still speak because we still have something to ask you." He said coldly.
"Hey, hey, why are we so tense? Why don't we each take a step back and give me some face."
Yan? He had been standing by and watching, and now he spoke slowly, as if watching a play.
"What are you?"
"I? I'm just an outsider, staying in this mansion temporarily. There is no need to fight tit for tat." Yan? raised the corner of his mouth, and locked his dark eyes on Bai Ya, "I am the messenger of Lord Python God. I came here specifically for the Bird God to station here.
Here, even though we are both outsiders, I am much more familiar with Lord Bird God’s territory than you are.”
Bai Ya didn't let go of the blade in his hand, he just looked at him.
"Tell me and listen."
"You are all human beings, and I understand that you have some grievances. However, every place has its own rules. I'm afraid you don't know, right?" He asked knowingly, as if he was mocking them for pretending to be deaf and dumb, "Those villagers
There are also many monsters killed. Some openly attack, some set traps to kill... Once a monster falls,
When it comes into their hands, it is also turned into soup and sacrificed to the Temple of the Five Internal Organs. As for us, we never care about it. After all, the weak eat the strong. This is our rule, and it is also the level set by the Bird God. Everyone has his own good and evil, and
There is no distinction between good and bad, everything is understandable. If you are new to this and don’t understand it, I will teach you.”
There was a cold frivolity hanging from the corners of his eyes and eyebrows, and the so-called principles and rules he spoke were also unreasonable. Qi Huan's teeth ached when he heard them.
"No, it's only natural that the God of Love knows everything about you? What kind of god are you, can you do so much harm to people?"
"You are human beings, so you naturally feel that you are causing harm to others. But in the eyes of Lord Garuda, the bird god, all living beings are equal and have no obligation to favor you." Yan? said calmly.
On the surface, this series of words are very pertinent and flawless, but several people instinctively feel that something is wrong, but they just can't explain it. Are these messengers of God so difficult to deal with?
They had no intention of arguing with monsters. Liu Shenghan squeezed into the room and shook his head gently at Bai Ya, signaling him not to act rashly. He stepped forward and said calmly:
"We really don't understand the rules here, but it just so happens that we are here for the Bird God. Since you are the messenger, please help us connect with the Bird God. I think he can explain to us clearly that in his territory
What are the rules?"
Yan? He refused confidently. Now he no longer said that he was familiar with this place. Instead, he said that he was just a messenger. He was only summoned by the gods, but there was no reason for him to disturb the gods. Liu Shenghan was not in a hurry and talked with him
Bai Ya couldn't bear to hear the quarrels and quarrels there, and the blade
It trembled again and again. The jackal demon had long lost its arrogance, and was so frightened that his eyes widened and he was trembling. Probably because he couldn't help it, he suddenly let out a roar, which shocked Bai Ya and almost chopped him: "Master?"
, you should find a way for them, I am a small temple, no matter how much you argue, you will never get over it!"
Yan? Turned his face and looked at him with narrowed eyes. After a while, he spoke again: "Well, since the owner of this place has some objections, I don't want to bother you here with you. I have a compromise. You guys
If you don’t accept it, there’s really nothing to talk about.”
"Please elaborate."
"I am indeed an outsider, but I have a close friend in this mountain. This friend, according to you humans, is probably a kind of earth spider. He has a high status here and can be regarded as a nobleman among people. In front of Lord Bird God,
He can talk a lot. I can only introduce you to him, but there is more, so don’t force me."
"In that case, I'll ask you to lead the way." Liu Sheng gave a cold and calm salute.
Under the leadership of Yan?, they left the Jackal Demon's house. As soon as they stepped outside, the Jackal Demon closed the door with his hind legs. That crisp "pop" made him want to be followed by a set of gongs, drums and firecrackers.
Bai Ya took the lead, Jun Aoyan followed, Qi Huan and Liu Shenghan walked in the middle guarding Mingming. They still remembered the jackal demon's words "neither human nor demon", and the contemptuous tone when speaking. Come to think of it, this child is really half-hearted.
Monsters, and in the eyes of real monsters, are quite despised, and they wish they could be killed soon.
The sun gradually set in the west. Yan? He led the way, regardless of whether they could follow. The group of people walked farther and farther, and the surroundings became more and more secluded. The heavy doubts weighed more and more on Bai Ya's heart. Finally, he endured it.
He kept asking questions to the figure in front of him:
"How much further to go?"
"Soon, soon."
Yan? He spoke unhurriedly, his feet still moving at the same pace. They had already had doubts in their minds, but they didn't know whether they should say it out loud. After thinking about it, they had no other choice but to follow him in the wilderness. They walked for a while.
, the sky is almost completely dark, and a few sparse stars cooperate with the moon to shed a pitiful light. The road is already difficult to walk, and occasionally you will stumble under your feet. That kid Mingming is very flexible, as if he was born in the night
So natural.
"How far is it?" Qi Huan was really a little tired. After all, how long can a person last with just a few mouthfuls of food?
"You snake monster, don't even think about playing tricks."
Suddenly, Yan? stopped and stayed in place for a short time. After he turned around, he smiled at a few people. A pair of vertical pupils burst out with sharp light under the cold night sky. At that moment, Bai Ya was finally convinced that they
I'm afraid I've been deceived.
"I'm sorry, but I obey."
Before anyone could react, his figure swayed and instantly disappeared into the silent night.
It is still among the mountains, but it is colder than ever before. The cool breeze is blowing, as if it is emerging from the tomb. They always have the illusion that there is some huge shadow behind them that they cannot see.
Mountains, rocks, and trees passed by. But when I turned around, I couldn't see anything, only endless darkness.
"Oh, have we been cheated?"
"You kid, you are so happy after being deceived." Jun Aoyan was a little helpless.
"There's nothing to panic about!" Mingming jumped around in circles, "It's not good to always feel that I'm at the end. I used to be worried, but in fact there's no need to think so much. The soldiers will stop the water.
Come to Tuqiu, as long as you calm down and keep your breath, there is nothing to be afraid of."
Qi Huan shook his head: "It's true that newborn calves are not afraid of tigers..."
"Who said that, I have participated in many hunts, many times!" Mingming stood in front of them and raised her head proudly, as if waiting for praise, "I was praised by them as the smallest hunter. Really, I
It can be said that I have experienced hundreds of battles, and I have seen as many scenes as others. Let me tell you, I——"
Before Mingming could finish those words, he was suddenly dragged backwards. He seemed to be grabbed by the collar, and was dragged far away in front of the four people. The reactions of Bai Ya and Jun Aoyan
Soon, she immediately pounced on her. Unexpectedly, Jun Aoyan tripped and fell on the flat ground before running a few steps. She screamed and got up in embarrassment, her face scratched
A small piece. Liu Shenghan hurriedly helped her up, and Bai Ya continued to chase. He stretched out his hand to pull Mingming, but he always missed. So he jumped on a stone next to him, and with a strong effort on his feet, he slightly surpassed Mingming's position.
At that moment, he saw that there were signs of being caught in the middle of the clothes on the little boy's back, because the clothes had been pulled out of a sharp corner in an extremely unnatural way.
When Bai Ya landed on the ground, he slashed with his backhand and cut off the invisible rope behind the invisible hook. Immediately afterwards, he was caught by something and fell to the ground hard. He clearly felt something on his ankle.
Something, very strong, probably the same as the rope holding Mingming. It's more like a thread than a rope. That thing is thin and strong. If he runs any faster, I'm afraid his entire foot will be gouged out.
Lose.
But now, there was a burning pain in his ankle. He lowered his head and opened his trousers to take a look. Fortunately, there was just a trace of blood, not very deep. But this kind of pain was the most heart-wrenching, not so painful, just in the nerve.
The ends are coming and going, itching. If you wait for it to heal, the slightest movement will tear them apart immediately. This is really terrible.
Mingming got up, and Bai Ya immediately patted his back and tried to find the location of the hook. But he found nothing.
"Brother, what are you looking for?"
"The hook is the one that pulls your clothes. If it didn't fall out, I might have punctured the skin."
"But there is no hook." Mingming said, "I seem to be stuck by something."
The other three chased after them, and it seemed that they no longer encountered that kind of line on the road, but that didn't mean there were no more traps.
Liu Shenghan said: "Are you okay? There is a lot of evil spirit here. I'm afraid something is hiding in secret. The enemy is in darkness and we are in the clear. It is not suitable to stay here for a long time."
"Yeah, I see a lot of broken bones around here, I'm afraid many people died here." Qi Huan gritted his teeth, "I think the snake demon is deliberately causing harm. Maybe, every time someone wants to see the bird god
, they all use this method to trick people into killing them."
Jun Aoyan looked around and saw the bones under the moonlight, glowing with faint phosphorescence.
"I'm afraid there are special monsters guarding this place... We'd better not suffer the immediate loss, first -"
"Get out!"
Bai Ya suddenly roared so loudly that the leaves of the tree shook.
