I walked to the side of the firewood, and heard the sound of "ding ding dong" below continuously, I motioned to the fat man to take a flashlight from the back room to me, held the flashlight and slowly squatted down, and shone it inside with the light of the flashlight, the originally dark space slowly brightened up at this time, and the true face of the little thing squatting under the firewood pile gradually appeared in my eyes. A round black head, an elongated body, and four sharp claws.

"What's that?"

The fat man next to him asked.

"I don't know, it looks like a weasel, but it's a little bigger than a weasel, you fence it up, and we'll poke it in and force this thing out. ”

I beckoned and motioned for the fat man and Luo Qiong to surround me.

"Hiss!"

The little thing that was burrowing under the wood screamed desperately, hoarse but panicked.

"I'll count to three, and we'll poke it in together. ”

I opened my mouth and shouted.

"Three, two, one!"

Before my words fell, the three of them raised their weapons at the same time and poked them into the firewood, only to hear the little monster inside roaring wildly, Luo Qiong's eyes were better than mine, aiming at an oversight of this little thing, and your thorn in your hand stabbed the body of the little thing, and the blood suddenly came out of it.

"I stabbed it!"

Luo Qiong shouted with a smile. Then he pulled the thorn out, and the little thing screamed and passed under our feet with astonishing speed, and then slammed against the door, and in a hurry to find the wooden door tethered, he turned his head and jumped up the wooden platform next to it, and then jumped out along the wall.

", this guy is smart, keep up, quick!"

I shouted, and I took the brunt of the rush out of the house, shining a flashlight outside. Luo Qiong followed behind him, searched the ground for a while, and then said, "There are blood stains on the ground, let's follow the blood stains and go." ”

Although the three of them didn't run as fast as that thing, there were still traces of blood on the ground, and they walked about five or six hundred meters, but there was no way to estimate it because it was too dark around. Luo Qiong's search stopped at this moment, and he turned around and said, "The bloodstains have stopped here, I think there must be a hole nearby, let's look for it separately." If it runs away from a hole in the ground, there is no way to catch it. ”

Unfortunately, Luo Qiong's words were soon fulfilled, and I saw a hole about ten centimeters wide next to a small earthen bag behind me, and some shallow blood stains were found at the entrance of the hole.

", run away! Hey, this grandson!"

The fat man scratched his head and grumbled unhappily.

But I raised my head and looked into the distance, right in front of my eyes, under a withered tree, scattered some crooked tombstones, under the moonlight, there was a faint yin qi around the tombstones, we unconsciously came to the nearby cemetery.

"Xiaoshan, you don't have to look for it now, it's already here. ”

The fat man patted me on the shoulder, raised an eyebrow and said.

The whole cemetery is not large, there are about five or six tombstones, but there are more earthen bags than tombstones, and it is estimated that many buried corpses have not yet been erected, or have been erected and then damaged.

"Let's find out the situation first, and we'll come over tomorrow to catch the earth beast. ”

After I finished speaking, the brothers divided into three groups and surveyed around the cemetery. I walked straight into the cemetery, took out the coins of the Motanjiao and measured them, the yin qi around them was not thick, although the coins of the Motanjiao were slightly darkened, but the speed of change was not fast. If the yin qi is too strong, there will be ghosts, and I've been dealing with ghosts too much lately, and I don't want to bump into them again. But it's not completely devoid of yin energy, and this bell environment is just right for the growth of earth beasts.

The little black thing just now, which is a little big when it is said to be a weasel, but a little small when it is said to be a wild dog. If it's a mutated weasel, it's an earth beast, and that makes sense!

If it is really an earth beast and will appear here, it means that it is definitely not the only one here, and it is very likely to be the gathering point of some earth beast.

After turning around, the place is not big, and soon we will meet, Luo Qiong is an expert in this area, and said: "It can be seen from the surrounding vegetation that there are often animals passing by in this vicinity, and it is impossible to have only one." And there are some leftover bones in the distance, indicating that they are all carnivorous guys. If this is the case, it can at least prove that there are indeed many animals gathered here. Also, I saw several holes in the ground on both sides, and if we really want to catch these earth beasts, we can use the method of catching rabbits even if we don't use 'Wild Zen', but in that case, it is inevitable that small things will run away. ”

The fat man turned his head and pointed behind him and said, "Come and see." ”

He led the two of us to a rock about seven or eight meters away from the cemetery, and pointed to the back of the stone.

On the ground behind the rocks lay a black wild dog, long dead, its fur completely dried and its flesh eaten clean, leaving only the bones of the forest. I covered my mouth and nose, crouched down and played with the dead wild dog with my hand, and found that the other half of it had been eaten as well. When you open your mouth, you can see sharp canine teeth and chewing teeth that have been almost smoothed.

"It's an ordinary wild dog, not an earth beast. But it may have been killed by the Earth Beast and eaten. If it was the little black thing that did it just now, it means that it was squatting in front of Song Baoyu's house, maybe to attack Ah Huang. Either way, there's definitely a bunch of monsters hiding underneath here. Let's go, let's come back tomorrow. ”

The next day, I spent the day researching "Strange Tales of the Mountains", and found some earth beasts that were more similar to the small black things I saw last night, and after sifting through them, I could finally determine that the earth beast I saw last night should be something called "Lu Yu". They are somewhat similar in appearance to weasels, but are much larger than weasels. The earliest records were in the middle of the Qing Dynasty, when the Eight Banners often engaged in hunting, an aristocratic game and a ritual and custom of some kind. During a hunt at that time, a young prince was having a merry affair with his concubine at night, when he suddenly heard a noise outside the camp. Yaxing, who disturbed him, put on his clothes and walked out, shouting and asking what was running outside.

Then his soldiers went out to investigate, and when they returned, they reported that there was a herd in the woods at night besieging a deer. At that time, the prince felt very strange, this forest was a hunting ground, and the beasts had already been explored, and none of the ones who should be expelled should be caught were spared, how could anyone dare to besiege the deer. Moreover, the deer in the hunting ground is the deer of the Wang family, how can they be killed casually. Immediately beckoned his men to go out, saying that he wanted to see what was so bold.

In the darkness of the night, I saw a group of black creatures running wildly in the woods, about a dozen of them, very fast, and fiercely attacking. The deer was covered in blood, and it ran crookedly, and finally fell to the ground with a bang. The dozen or so things rushed up and began to bite the deer's body. At the king's order, all the soldiers ran over and surrounded the deer. The dozen or so black monsters were not afraid, and they stood up one by one and stared at the soldiers.

According to the book, the black monster that took the lead was one or two feet long, with a head as big as a fist, and its body fur was dark and shiny, and when it opened its mouth, it could see canine teeth, and it looked fierce.

This description is similar to the one I saw before, and then the dozen or so little monsters were naturally no match for the machetes of Qing Dynasty soldiers, and they were killed one after another. But after death, the body emits a foul smell, and the peeled skin is very greasy, because I have never seen anything like it in the past, and I don't know what it's called. At that time, the prince took it upon himself to name it "Luyu".

If most of the records in the book are true, then the little monster seen today may be a pioneer, and there is definitely more than one "deer" here.

"I see this at night, Luo Qiong, you are responsible for casting the net, and ask Song Baoyu to borrow it when the time comes. Fat man, you crouch next to you with a shotgun, and shoot as soon as you see danger. I'm in charge of the arrangement of the 'Wild Zen', and if this 'Deer' really lives in groups, then we may have a good harvest tonight!"

More than a dozen earth beasts were caught at one time, and it was not the artificially cultivated garbage in the past, this time, it will definitely earn a vote!
