The day when the devil was defeated happened to be the day when winter began in North Rand. This is a small place in the north, backed by the Kailav Mountains and surrounded by huge virgin forests. The people here rely on the forests for food, and logging is
Most people work, as well as many charcoal burners. Now that winter has arrived, people need a lot of charcoal and firewood to resist the severe cold.
"Hurry up, Huohuo, I don't want to spend the night in the mountains, and neither do you."
Meili gasped and said. She was wearing thick fur clothes and was brown all over. She looked like a skinny bear from a distance. She was just an ordinary farmer, a seventeen-year-old woman who couldn't get married. She originally had a
The marriage was arranged for her by her parents, but she ruined it, and Mellie was kicked out of the house.
Woof!
The short-tailed black dog in front of her barked. It was holding a rope and pulling a sled filled with wood with Mellie. The two of them drove hard on the snow. Because it snowed heavily a few days ago,
, the world became completely white, the snow was thick enough to sink into Mei Li’s knees, and a long footprint appeared behind her.
Life was a bit hard, but she had no regrets.
It was obviously not dark yet, but the world was bleak, and there were cold blues everywhere. It looked cold and desolate. However, there was a lot of sweat on Mellie's forehead. The sled filled with wood was too heavy.
Suddenly, it got stuck on something in the snow and stopped.
"Ah, my luck is really bad today, isn't it Huohuo."
Woof woof! woof woof!
Perhaps in response to Mellie's question, the black dog Huohuo suddenly yelled and growled at the sled, as if he was cursing someone.
Mei Li smiled and touched its head. Yes, everyone wants to scold this broken car.
"Stop scolding, I'll help you fix it."
After saying that, Mellie walked towards the sled. She picked up the ax tied to the car, and then checked around the sled to see where it was stuck. At this time, the black dog Huohuo was still barking, and the hair on its back was
They all exploded.
There was something wrong with this, and Mei Li, who was holding an axe, immediately became alert. She looked around, and saw one person and one dog guarding each other's backs.
There was a reason why she was so vigilant. After all, the demons attacked and ruled this place a month ago. Since almost all the young people were dragged to join the army, and the army did not protect this place, they invaded without any effort.
The remaining men and some women vowed to protect their hometown to the death, but when they saw the terrifying army, they all dropped their weapons.
Fortunately, the demon army did not do anything to burn, kill or loot. Soon after the demon king was defeated, they naturally evacuated from here and left people's sight.
For most people, this is the first time they have seen demons, and it is also an experience that can be told to future generations. Even if the demons do not do what they are afraid of, the fear of them is still buried in people's hearts
.
Rumors that perhaps some demons did not leave but lived in the forest are very popular in the area.
"Smell something?"
Overcoming the fear in her heart, Mei Li asked, but of course Huo Huo would not answer her question.
It was still barking, and it was pointing in the direction of the sled, which caught Mellie's attention. Could it be that there was something under the sled?
Maybe something was pressed against it.
Mellie walked behind the car and bent down to look under the car. The snow under the sleigh was not white, mixed with soil and dead branches, but a rag caught her attention. The rag was pressed under the car.
Under the car. She stretched out her hand and pulled it, and found that it was easily torn off. Then she asked about a strange smell.
"There's something trapped down there."
As she spoke, she stood up, put down the ax, and put her hands on the sled, preparing to push the sled hard.
"one two three!"
Mei Li gritted her teeth and used all her strength, and suddenly she heard a snapping sound.
The sound of wood? No, the sound of wood is not like this. It seems to be...
The sound of bones.
Her heart trembled, and she suddenly felt a little scared. At this moment, the sleigh moved and slid forward a short distance, and she suddenly reached the place where she was pressed by the sleigh.
Mei Li looked down and saw an object that looked like hair, tangled up in a mess, and appeared in the snow with some blue-gray flesh.
What's this?
She took a breath of cold air and took two steps back in fright. Huohuo's barking became more violent. Suddenly, the thing moved.
Is it an illusion?
Mellie immediately picked up the ax on the ground and stepped back. She was speechless. She held the ax in both hands and looked at the ball.
What the hell is this?
Her heart was beating wildly. At this moment, the black mass suddenly appeared, and a twisted and withered human head appeared in the snow. Its eyes were two holes, which suddenly appeared.
Two scary blue fireworks.
"Ah! Ah!!"
Mellie let out a sharp scream, and the monster immediately crawled out from under the snow. It only had an upper body and a lower body with only a spine like a tail, and it crawled on the ground with its arms.
The black dog immediately rushed forward, bit the monster's arm, shook its head wildly, and instantly lifted the monster up.
However, its tearing had little effect on the monster. The withered hand suddenly grabbed its hair and tore off a piece of its fur. The black dog screamed and immediately let go of its mouth.
"Fire fire!!"
Blood immediately appeared on the black dog's body, and Mei Li was frightened and anxious. She was both afraid of the monster and worried about Huo Huo's injuries.
As soon as it saw blood, the monster went crazy and moved even faster. It crawled with only two hands and was as fast as a mouse. It came to Mellie in one fell swoop and pounced on her with its big mouth.
In panic, Mellie swung her ax and hit the monster on the back.
It was very light, and the ax hit it hard, and the sound of broken bones was very loud. The monster flew out, and Mellie immediately turned around and shouted: "Go!"
She didn't care about the cart of wood and ran down the mountain with Huo Huo injured.
It wasn't completely dark yet, and she didn't know if any of the monsters were dead. If it got dark and the monster wasn't dead, that would be terrible.
One person and one dog quickly climbed down the mountain. Mei Li stumbled and tripped over something under the snow, causing her to roll directly on the snow.
When she regained her balance and climbed up from the snow with difficulty, she looked up and saw a lot of thick smoke coming from the village in the distance through the gap in the woods.
She opened her mouth wide and was speechless. She quickly stepped forward and hugged a tree trunk. She saw that the village was burning and countless blue eyes appeared in the firelight.
