"It's strange. My feelings obviously come from this place. Could it be that I've found the wrong place again?"
The man in gray stepped on the ground, as if there was nothing there, and did not make the slightest sound.
He walked around in one place, closing his eyes from time to time to sense things, or pressing his nose or ears against certain things, as if he was groping for something.
"Huh? There are some ruins here!" He suddenly looked at some old and dilapidated stones, which seemed to have been there for many years.
"This should have been a village a long time ago."
The man in gray touched the stones of the ruins.
Without even using any force, the stones scattered into powder.
The corrosion of time!
This situation can be seen everywhere in the wilderness.
He sighed secretly and continued to check.
It's a pity that even though he checked extremely carefully, he still didn't find any problems.
Maybe, you really found the wrong place!
The man in gray turned around and left.
But he didn't realize that under the ruins he ignored, a seed was constantly absorbing nutrients, taking root and sprouting.
It's changing every moment.
When one day passed, it had broken out of the ground and grown into a bud.
Another day passed, and the bud had turned into a plant over one meter tall, with blood-colored flower buds growing on the top.
That night, the flower bones opened at a speed visible to the naked eye.
A bloated and agile grunting beast cautiously passed by and swallowed the flower in one gulp.
Then, its body stiffened, its forehead suddenly split, and a thumb-sized vertical eye appeared, turning slightly as if to guide the direction, and then disappeared suddenly.
The grunting beast came to its senses and ran away.
The direction is clearly the direction pointed by the vertical eye.
······
The light of the oil lamps was unusually conspicuous in the night.
The thin Wednesday tightened his tight clothes and looked at his companion a few steps away.
"Do you feel like it's a little cold tonight?"
"Really? I don't feel anything!"
Both of them are new members of the patrol team in the village, and they still lack some experience.
If an old patrol member were here, he would immediately think that something strange was causing trouble, and then quickly observe the surroundings, ready to escape at any time.
"That may be my own fault," Zhousheng said.
"That's for sure. You are so thin and you feel very cold when the wind blows!"
"Who says it's not the case? Old man Liu told my father a while ago that with my body and bones, if I don't eat more meat to replenish my vitality, I'm afraid I'll die in less than a year and a half!" Zhou Sheng sighed.
He took out a piece of dried meat from his clothes, took a bite, and then put it back.
Although he has not been living well in the past few days since he came to the patrol, his health is getting better day by day.
"It should be much better once you get through the newbie period!"
The newcomer period is always the most dangerous time, because newcomers do not understand many things and are prone to accidents when encountering strange things.
His companion was a strong young man. He didn't listen to much of what Zhou Sheng said. He just stared at the dried meat in his hand and swallowed, "Well - it would be great if we could eat enough meat every day! That way our martial arts training progress would be improved.
It will definitely be a few minutes faster.”
"How is it possible? There are only so many people in the village, and it is difficult to defend the village. If we hunt more often, the surrounding beasts will probably escape from the area. By then, we will be able to hunt less meat. In that case, we will
If you want to still have meat to eat, you need to go further."
This is a terrible vicious cycle.
The village's monthly hunting requirement is not unreasonable.
"I understand, I understand! I'm just a little greedy!"
"Who isn't?" Zhou Sheng also swallowed his saliva, and then couldn't help but take out another bite of dried meat.
"If only we could hunt ourselves!" he murmured.
"Hey! Sansheng, look, is that a Gulu?"
Wednesday Sheng looked outside the village.
There, a plump grunt was wandering outside the village.
Now that their minds were full of meat, the two of them could not remember the words of the old people on the patrol. They picked up their weapons and rushed over cautiously.
Then, while Gu Leng wasn't paying attention, Zhou Sheng swung out his spear and stuck it into Gu Leng, who couldn't avoid it.
Gu Leng fell to the ground, twitched twice, and became silent.
Seeing that there was no one around, the two people quickly ran over and dragged Gu Leng's body in.
"Boom!"
The two of them were shocked and looked towards the entrance of the village.
"It's the divine drum!"
"The divine drum is ringing! Something strange must be invading the village!"
The two people quickly dragged Gu Lung's body to a hidden location and hid it, and then quickly returned to their positions.
Not long after, the elite patrol team arrived.
"Are you two okay?"
"fine!"
"Did you find anything unusual?"
"No!"
After the elite team members left, the two of them looked at each other. Not long after, the captain who had left something to do returned to his post.
The two of them waited until the shift was over and took Gu Lung's body back secretly while no one was paying attention.
inside the house.
The firelight danced.
The two of them grabbed the roasted glutinous rice and devoured it.
Say nothing.
After finishing the sizzling meat, the two of them breathed a long sigh of relief.
"very nice!"
"tasty!"
"But I haven't had enough yet!"
"Me too!"
The two of them subconsciously looked at the remaining Gu Leng's head, and their eyes seemed to be glowing green——
Generally speaking, people in the village rarely eat the heads of wild animals.
······
Eee~
The door opens.
Wednesday Sheng wiped the corners of his mouth and said, "I'll go back to sleep first!"
"I fell asleep too!"
After returning to his room, Zhousheng lay on the bed and fell asleep in a short time.
In the darkness, a crack opened slightly between his eyebrows, and then quickly disappeared, and a deep vertical eye could be vaguely seen flashing away.
Somewhere in a dense forest.
The man in gray's expression changed. Just now, he noticed the aura that was very similar to the previous few days.
Unfortunately, because the time was too short, he couldn't lock it in at all.
"I hate such cunning guys the most! If I had known better, I would have brought that little girl here!" The man in gray seemed a little annoyed and reached out to grab his hair, but the little monkey on his shoulder had already grabbed it for him.
Grab it by the handful!
"Damn monkey, my hair is so precious!"
The man in gray cursed several times angrily.
The monkey was jumping up and down on his shoulder, which was very lively.
"Forget it, I'm too lazy to pay attention to you! Now that we're here, let's go see that good young man we accidentally discovered! If we drag him into the Evil Suppression Department, the old guy will definitely be very happy!"
The man in gray secretly thought, walking step by step towards Baishui Village.
As early as two days ago, when the battle broke out between Shiguan and Mandrill, he had noticed it.
Just because I was worried about that special and weird thing at the time, I never found it.
Being able to cultivate to the master level in such a remote place is indeed worthy of his attention.
As for Mandrill, who is also a Grandmaster, he is not considered due to his special circumstances.
