After hearing these two words, Han Lie couldn't help but feel a little surprised, not knowing what he meant.【】
If there were monsters, how could this old man, as an ordinary person, come here alive? And how could there be smoke rising from the village? When he saw it just now, there were still faintly moving figures, and it didn't look like there was a monster.
Looks like, is it just that the commoner old man doesn't want him to go?
Thinking of this, Han Lie showed a kind smile on his face and said: "Don't worry, old man, we will never cause trouble when we enter the village. You think we look like bad guys, right? We just want to sleep in the village for one night.
By the way, ask for the direction of Jiufeng County, and I will give you some gold coins as a reward."
However, when the old man in cloth heard the words, he still panicked and said: "No, no, my benefactor, you must not go to our place. It will be the night of the full moon soon, and the demon will definitely come out again, and you cultivators
The flesh and blood are so delicious, they will definitely be eaten!"
Hearing this, Han Lie realized that the monster the commoner old man mentioned was a real creature, and he was not trying to use it as an excuse to let them leave.
"Old man, please tell us what's going on first. You've made me a little confused." Han Lie pretended to be crazy and said this, trying to get something out of the old man's mouth. He wanted to know about the green cow.
What happened in the village?
"Hey, it's a long story. God wants to destroy our Qingniu Village..."
The old man in civilian clothes sighed and slowly told the whole thing without any precautions.
Qingniu Village is a semi-hidden village. It is small in size with only about a hundred households, but it has been passed down for hundreds of years. However, the people living in this village are ordinary people, even if there are a few with spiritual powers occasionally.
Many people, because they cannot afford Yuan Lingzhu, cannot truly embark on the path of cultivation. They are just physically strong.
However, although no one can become a cultivator, the villagers in Qingniu Village are relatively simple and just want to have enough food and clothing every day, so the village is very harmonious and peaceful.
But the full moon night about half a year ago completely broke the peace in the village and completely changed Qingniu Village.
That night, when a couple got up at night, they found that their child was missing. They hurriedly opened the door and asked the flower girl to look outside. Taking advantage of the moonlight, they could see a long drag mark on the ground. They hurriedly followed the mark and ran there.
, wanted to see if it was their child.
Finally, they saw an unforgettable scene at the gate of the village.
A purple branch was tightly wrapped around the five-year-old child, emitting a faint purple light and slowly dragging on the ground. The child seemed to be hypnotized, still sleeping with his eyes closed.
At the end of the purple branch, there is a huge purple tree with lush branches. There is a pair of scarlet eyes on the trunk, shining with cruel and fierce light. Below it is a bloody mouth full of sharp teeth, wet.
The clicking tongue is exposed to the air.
The dense tree roots under its body were like tentacles, trembling constantly on the ground, as if it relied on these roots to walk on the ground.
The couple screamed in horror, and the purple strange tree was immediately frightened. It suddenly pulled back the branch, and the five-year-old child who was still sleeping was swallowed into its mouth, causing a bloody mouth.
Between the opening and closing, blood spurts out!
The couple fainted immediately, and the villagers who heard the sound and saw the strange purple tree all screamed in horror.
The purple strange tree chewed the child's body in its mouth a few times, swallowed it, and then slowly left as if it had no interest in these villagers.
The villagers of Qingniu Village have no choice in facing such a monster. No one dares to chase it, otherwise they will die!
But this is just the beginning. In the following days, the strange purple tree will appear every full moon night and either steal the child or take it away blatantly. When frightened, the strange purple tree will eat the child on the spot.
Lose!
The villagers in Qingniu Village were powerless to stop them, and they all became desperate. Some proposed to move away together and stationed elsewhere. However, the closest place to here is Jiufeng County, but it takes ten and a half days to get there.
, for ordinary people like them, they will starve to death of thirst or even be eaten by monsters on the way before they even get there.
In this way, time passed little by little, and now, the people in Qingniu Village have almost been tortured crazy.
And in three days, on the night of the full moon, the strange purple tree will probably appear again!
After hearing this, Han Lie was full of murderous intent towards the strange purple tree, while Qin Xiling was shocked and angry after hearing this, but she couldn't help but feel sad for the dead children.
"If my guess is correct, then the purple strange tree should be the purple blood tree demon, then..."
Han Lie already knew in his heart what the strange purple tree was. It was an extremely evil plant spirit monster. At first, it only needed to absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and the essence of the sun and the moon to grow. After evolving to two stars, it would grow every full moon.
Every time, he has to suck the blood of living creatures, so that his body can transform again and again, evolving into a three-star spirit, purple-blooded tree demon.
The reason why we only eat children is because their bodies are relatively pure and there are not too many impurities in their blood. Generally speaking, it can be understood that they are very picky eaters.
As for why it focused on Qingniu Village, I'm afraid it's because it's too convenient to eat...
Although this purple-blooded tree demon is extremely evil, it is refining its body and blood almost all the time, which results in it being full of treasures. It has unimaginable benefits especially for those who are strong in the Pulse Opening Realm.
Its purple leaves and even rhizomes can be used to refine medicine, and its blood can strengthen the body. The Purple Blood Heart can even open a strong person below the sixth level of the pulse realm, directly opening a vein!
"Old man, I think I can help you get rid of this monster."
At this time, Han Lie's lips curled up with an elusive arc, and he said with a faint smile.
"Wha...what?!"
The commoner old man thought that after saying this, the two people would retreat in the face of difficulties, but unexpectedly, they heard such a sentence, and they were immediately shocked and stayed there.
Han Lie said slowly and patiently: "That is a kind of spirit. If I am not mistaken, it should be at the two-star stage, and I can just deal with it."
If the purple-blood tree demon still comes to this village to kill children, it means that it still needs pure blood. If it does, it means that it has not broken through to the three-star level, and Han Lie is sure to deal with it.
This purple-blooded tree demon is full of treasures. Whether it is refining medicine or improving his realm, it will be of great help to Han Lie now, so he doesn't want to miss it.
You can not only do justice for heaven, but also get treasures, why not do it?
"real?!"
At this time, after the old man in cloth heard clearly, his whole body trembled violently, and he held his hand tightly, his wrinkled face full of excitement.
"Well, I am a cultivator, so I am naturally very powerful. Didn't I save you just now?" Han Lie said with a smile.
"Okay! Okay! My benefactor!"
The old man in cloth clothes had tears streaming down his face, and he wanted to kneel down to Han Lie again, but he was always supported by Han Lie's arms and could not kneel down at all, so he had no choice but to give up immediately.
No one can understand the mood of the villagers of Qingniu Village, including him. It would be fine if adults died, but the ones who died were all children, which made them feel even worse than death!
Several young mothers have committed suicide because of this incident, and their husbands were in so much pain that they followed suit...
Qin Xiling sat on the flaming horse and looked at the old man in cloth with tears streaming down his face. She couldn't help but feel a little infected in her heart. She looked at Han Lie with eyes filled with gratitude.
…
"My benefactor, my benefactor, our Qingniu Village is ahead, come with me quickly."
On the flat forest path, the old man in civilian clothes pointed to Han Lie and Qin Xiling at the village not far ahead, with excitement still on his face.
After the conversation along the way, they learned that the old man in civilian clothes was named Kong Xiang. He was considered to be a senior citizen in Qingniu Village. He had no children and had always lived together.
Kong Xiang led the way, but Han Lie and Qin Xiling were embarrassed to get on their horses and move forward, so they led the horses and followed slowly behind.
After a while, they passed through the first layer of fence to prevent wild animals and walked into the gate of Qingniu Village. They could immediately see houses made of mud and stone. They looked simple, but they were...
It's quite solid.
After some villagers walking around the village saw Han Lie and Qin Xiling, they were first surprised by Han Lie's handsomeness, and then were attracted by Qin Xiling's beauty.
However, these villagers were obviously not in high spirits. After looking at Han Lie and Qin Xiling for a few times, and seeing that Kong Xiang had brought them in, most of the vigilance in their eyes disappeared, but then they continued to walk with a gloomy expression, looking like
It's like a walking corpse.
"Uncle Xiang, who are they?"
At this time, a sturdy young man walked over, followed by two young people about his age.
He was really stunned by Qin Xiling's beauty, and walked over involuntarily, and the two people behind him were also the same. They didn't expect that there was such a beautiful girl, and their hearts were beating wildly, and their minds were racing.
The idea of possessing it keeps coming up!
At this time, Kong Xiang said with a smile on his face after hearing this: "Liu Zhuang, let me tell you, this benefactor is here to help us eliminate the demon, and the other one is his sister!"
As soon as these words came out, the surrounding villagers stopped immediately and looked at Han Lie in disbelief.
The young man named Liu Zhuang looked at Qin Xiling with a lustful look in his eyes. Then he glanced at Han Lie with disgust and said to Kong Xiang: "Uncle Xiang, that bullshit monster can be done as long as I'm here."
Done, there is no need for this thin and weak looking guy, I am the strongest young man in the village, and I still need help from outsiders?" []
