Late at night, a gentle breeze blows through the village of Barr. Lei Yan has been practicing how to transfer the internal force with his eyes closed. The transmission of internal force is very similar to the internal force attack, and the internal force attack and the internal force transmission are both to penetrate the internal force into the human body for destruction. However, the internal force transmission does not forcibly break through the opponent's defense like the internal force attack, but directly destroys the muscles, meridians and bones of the opponent by resonating with the opponent's internal force.

I don't know when, Qing Ling also walked out of the grass hut and stood on the side of the open space silently watching Lei Yan's cultivation, only to see the blue light visible to the naked eye from Lei Yan's hand, and was split into a hair-like blue light in the air, but this hair-like blue light was only fleeting, obviously Lei Yan had not yet grasped this power well.

As time passed, the edge of the sky turned white. Lei Yan's fist also slowly softened, and he seemed to have found that feeling. The hair-like blue light gradually formed in the air, as if several tentacles were wrapped around his hands.

Suddenly, Lei Yan opened his eyes, and a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, "It turns out that this kind of transmission needs to be formed with softness and sent out with strength!"

"It seems that you seem to have made a breakthrough!" Qing Ling's voice was a little yin and yang, as if she was not very happy about Lei Yan's breakthrough.

Lei Yan was in a very good mood at this time, and smiled slightly, "So to speak!"

Suddenly, there was a noisy sound outside the village, Lei Yan and Qing Ling looked towards the entrance of the village in unison, only to see more than a dozen warriors with weapons in their hands entering the village from outside the village, and those patrolling villagers were greeting them.

"How about this trip?" asked one of the villagers.

"This harvest is good! I got a hundred taels of silver at one time! It's enough for our village to live for a month!" said a strong man with a smile.

"I heard that the Wanjiazhuang came to our village to steal the children?" the strong man then asked.

"Hmph! That Wanjiazhuang is really crazy! They actually stole the grandson and granddaughter of the village chief. Fortunately, the child has been rescued!" said one of the villagers, a little angry.

"Alas," the strong man sighed, "don't be angry, anyone who encounters such a thing will be irrational! Their village is miserable enough now! When we passed by yesterday, we found that there were many corpses of adults in their village!"

"Have even adults been killed?" asked one of the villagers.

"Yes, it's strange to say, these slain children have only their hearts gouged out, while adults are intact!

"Isn't it a demon beast who doesn't know! Anyway, this time Wanjiazhuang really made a lot of money, and they took out all their savings as a reward for getting rid of this murderer! I'm a little itchy!" said a warrior with a bow and arrow next to him.

"Hmph, do you have this life?" the strong man glared at the warrior next to him who was armed with a bow and arrow.

As soon as the big man said this, the warrior with a bow and arrow immediately stopped talking.

Lei Yan and Qing Ling heard these words very clearly.

Lei Yan's brows furrowed slightly, judging from these signs, this matter was only aimed at children, and those adults might have been killed only because they angered the murderer. If this is done by a cultivator, no matter how many martial artists go to it, they will die. But if it was a cultivator, he didn't need to be so troublesome at all, he could have arrested all the children at once, why did he have to catch one a day, it seems that there must be some strange things in the middle.

"Did you think this could have been done by a demon beast?" asked Qing Ling.

"It's possible!Pack it up!Let's go over and have a look!" Lei Yan turned around and walked towards the grass hut after speaking.

After saying goodbye to Batu and the others, Lei Yan and Qingling slowly walked towards Wanjiazhuang. From Batu, they learned that Wanjiazhuang was directly north of their village, bypassed the grove and walked to the official road, and if they walked north, they would see Wanjiazhuang. Lei Yan and Qing Ling were only walking, and Qing Ling had to rest for a while every distance without the support of True Yuan, so they walked to an inn in the evening. This inn is only a few miles away from Wanjiazhuang, so Lei Yan decided to stay in this inn first.

The inn was full of people, many warriors gathered in the inn, and there were some businessmen who passed by to eat wine and food. The entry of Lei Yan and Qing Ling did not affect the atmosphere in the inn at all, and at this time, Xiao Erzheng greeted him warmly, "Two guest officers, please inside!"

"Xiao Er, prepare two guest rooms, and send some food by the way!" Lei Yan said.

"Okay, two of you, please come with me!" With Xiao Er's leadership, Lei Yan and Qing Ling moved into the guest room.

After a while, Xiao Er sent some side dishes to Lei Yan's guest room, Lei Yan took out a silver ingot from his arms and gave it to Xiao Er and asked with a smile: "Xiao Er, has something happened to Wanjiazhuang in the past two days?"

Xiao Ermei looked at the silver in his hand and replied with a smile: "The news of the guest officer is really well-informed! This Wanjiazhuang encountered a catastrophe a few days ago, and there are constantly children dying mysteriously, and now even those adults are unlucky." This time, Wanjiazhuang spent a lot of money to ask the master to get rid of that demon beast!"

"Demon beasts, you said it was done by demon beasts?" asked Lei Yan.

"Yes! There are too many warriors coming to Wanjiazhuang now, and just last night a warrior found that it was a demon beast with a long shadow, similar to a snake!

"Alright, you stand down!" Lei Yan commanded.

After Xiao Er left, Qing Ling looked at Lei Yan and asked, "Do you believe his words?"

"He didn't say that I really didn't remember it, didn't Nabathai say that those children were found on the Blood Orchid Slope in Bal Village? This reminds me of the Blood Orchid! This hillside may be named the Blood Orchid Slope because it has a large number of Blood Orchids, if it really has a large number of Blood Orchids, it may be a python or not!" Lei Yan smiled and said with a smile.

Qing Ling nodded, this blood orchid was the easiest to provoke some snakes, so she also agreed with Lei Yan's statement.

"Eat something first, I'll go over and see when it's dark, and you stay here and wait for me to come back." Lei Yan said.

"Hmph, if you want me to stay here, you must promise me one condition, we will divide what you get equally, or I will die and go with me. Qing Ling snorted coldly.

"Okay, no problem. Lei Yan simply agreed.

Qing Ling was stunned, she didn't expect Lei Yan to agree so simply, and she couldn't help but regret a little in her heart if she wanted less.

As soon as night fell, Lei Yan came out of the inn and went straight to Wanjiazhuang. The inn is about a few miles away from Wanjiazhuang, and Lei Yan arrived at the brightly lit Wanjiazhuang in just a moment with the urging of internal force. Wanjiazhuang is brightly lit, and a large number of torches illuminate the entire village. On the gate of the village hung several white stripes, and a few thick black words loomed as the white stripes trembled. The four guards by the gate were also wrapped in white cloth and dressed in sackcloth, and many villagers patrolled back and forth with torches in their hands.

Lei Yan stood at the door, paused for a moment, and then walked straight to Wanjiazhuang. After all, it is not convenient for a person, first of all, in terms of news, there is the latest news in Wanjiazhuang, he can get the information he wants by asking, and he can even probe the wounds of those victims to judge;

"Who?" the guards of Wanjiazhuang immediately shouted after seeing a figure, their nerves have been tense for the past few days, especially at night, and when they saw the figure, the weapons in their hands immediately raised and pointed at the figure.

"Dude, don't be nervous! I heard that you have monsters here, so I came here to find out!" replied with a smile.

In the past two days, there have been a lot of warriors here, and the guards immediately opened the gate as soon as they heard that their hearts were relieved, and at this time, several people came out of the door to greet them, led by a white-haired old man.

"My lord, please come here!" the old man was very respectful, and at the same time did not hide the sadness on his face, and said as he walked, "Our Wanjiazhuang has suffered bad luck in recent days, and we can only count on the help of you masters with peerless skills." Just last night, an adult discovered that it was a monster beast with a long shadow. I hope that tonight, my lord and other masters can help me kill that scourge!"

"Don't worry!" Lei Yan walked behind and comforted.

A moment later, Lei Yan followed the old man to the martial arts training ground in Wanjiazhuang, which was slightly smaller than the open space in Bal Village, but at this time, hundreds of people had gathered. In this world, there are many warriors who are enthusiastic, brave the world, and temper life and death, and these warriors like to participate in this kind of strange thing the most; of course, there are many warriors who are lucky, greedy for money, and want to get the money of Wanjiazhuang, and of course these warriors will not let go of this opportunity.

Lei Yan's eyes swept away, and there were many people dressed in sackcloth and holding torches neatly arranged on the periphery of the clearing, while many warriors were alone and occupied a position as if they were not social. These unknown warriors are generally wary of each other. Lei Yan's ability swept through, but only found three innate martial artists, and the others were all acquired martial artists.

When Lei Yan arrived, these warriors all looked at Lei Yan with hostility in their eyes. Lei Yan didn't care, he knew that there was power in numbers, after all, it was impossible for him to solve the problem alone at this time. If it was normal times, Lei Yan would definitely not leave his hands, and he would definitely take advantage of these warriors to let them pass away quietly. After all, the hostile Lei Yan wanted to wipe him out in the cradle.

"Uncle, can you let me see those victimized children?" Lei Yan didn't pay attention to those martial artists, turned to the gray-haired old man and asked, seeing the old man's hesitant expression, Lei Yan smiled and said, "I just want to judge what this demon beast is by the scars?"

The old man pondered for a moment, and said, "Okay, sir, please come with me!"

Lei Yan followed the old man to a grass hut, which was an empty grass hut used to store the corpses, and there were rows of children's corpses neatly arranged on the ground, and near the door were the corpses of several adults. The bodies were covered up with straw mats.

"Your Excellency, please!" said the old man, and stood aside.

Lei Yan walked straight ahead, the first thing he wanted to see was a child. Opening the straw mat, the corpse of a child covered in blood, about six or seven years old, appeared in front of Lei Yan's eyes. The child's face was pale and bloodless, his eyes were wide open, his eyes were full of fear and uneasiness, and a large hole had been cut open in his chest, through which he could see the bones and the internal organs.

"The heart was gouged out, and the incision was very neat, as if it had been made with a sharp weapon. Lei Yan analyzed in his mind, and at the same time opened another straw mat, at the same time, he saw a child's corpse with the same wound as just now, he saw the same several times in a row, and he didn't find anything else.

"If it's a snake, then how can these wounds on the chest be so neat?" Lei Yan's brow couldn't help but furrow.

When the old man saw Lei Yan's expression, he seemed to feel a little uneasy in his heart, and then asked, "My lord, is there anything wrong?"

"No, no. Lei Yan waved his hand, came to the door again, lifted the straw mat that covered the adult corpse, and a sturdy male corpse appeared in front of him, the male corpse did not seem to have any scars on the surface, and the same eyes were full of fear and uneasiness. Just when Lei Yan was about to cover the straw mat, he suddenly found that there was something faintly dark in the hair of the male corpse, and subconsciously moved it with his hand, and found that the dark black object was actually two blood clots, and when he opened the blood clots, Lei Yan found two small holes. The small holes were lined up side by side, and Lei Yan said secretly, "This should be a snake bite, but the wounds on the corpses of those children are not." ”

"There must be snakes, but what about this child's heart?" Lei Yan slowly walked out of the grass hut, thinking in his heart.

"Master, has the master found anything?" Lei Yan had just returned to the martial arts training ground, when a flirtatious voice came from in front of him, and then he saw a lean young man running towards him, "My name is Yuan Hou, you don't need to look at these people at all, they are all waste wood, and they are not my opponents alone." They're here to die. Oh, brother, what do you call it?" This Yuan Hou is really familiar, as if he is very familiar with Lei Yan, and when he came up, he hooked Lei Yan's shoulder and said.

Those who were pointed at by Yuan Hou just stared at Yuan Hou fiercely but didn't dare to make a move, obviously they were a little afraid of this Yuan Hou, Lei Yan smiled and said, "Lei! It's you, how do you know that I am a master?"

"Intuition, I trust intuition. Yuan Hou smiled and said, "You are different from them, you feel it." Like these people who don't have the strength to kill that demon beast, they are really looking for death. The speed of the long shadow I saw yesterday was extremely fast, and it was definitely not weaker than that of the acquired martial artist. ”

"Oh, you can judge a master just by feeling?" Lei Yan smiled and looked at Yuan Hou with interest, this Yuan Hou was one of the few innate powerhouses among those martial artists.

"Well, don't talk about this. Tell me if you have found anything?" said Yuan Hou with a smile.

"I feel that the demon beast may be a snake!" Lei Yan said casually, after all, this snake has basically been determined, but the wounds of those children do not know how they came from.

"Yes, yesterday's Long Shadow Eight Achievements were a snake, and it was an extremely fast snake. Its speed is definitely comparable to that of an ordinary innate martial artist. Yuan Hou thought for a while. "Extremely fast snakes?" Lei Yan couldn't help but frown. He is not good at speed, under normal circumstances, he can only increase his speed by urging internal force, but this speed is only about the same as that of ordinary acquired martial artists, and it is much worse than that of innate martial artists.

"It seems that we have to make some preparations, I hope he is just a demon beast, not a cultivator. Lei Yan said secretly in his heart.

Seeing Lei Yan's expression, Yuan Hou patted Lei Yan on the shoulder and smiled: "Could it be that Brother Lei are you afraid?" To tell you the truth, there are a total of thirty-two martial artists here, most of them are waste wood, but there are really a few powerful ones, just like that, the one leaning on the stake over there, named Li Yun, is the hall master of the Li family. There is also that, the one lying on the ground, the banner owner of the Sun family is named Sun Jin. ”

Lei Yan looked in the direction that Yuan Hou pointed, this Li Yun and Sun Jin were the innate martial artists he had discovered earlier. That Li Yunzheng was standing alone in the corner, leaning on the wooden stake and closing his eyes to recuperate, while Sun Jin was lying on the ground, looking at him leisurely. Lei Yan smiled and nodded at Sun Jin, Sun Jin also nodded politely in response, and then looked at the sky with his head in his hands.

At this moment, the village chief of Nawanjiazhuang came to the martial arts training ground again and shouted: "Ladies and gentlemen, that demon beast may appear in the middle of the night, and the location of its appearance is uncertain. Adults can choose a good place and wait slowly. Wait until late at night, and I'm sure you'll be able to kill the monster. ”

As soon as the village chief's words fell, someone in the martial arts training ground responded loudly: "The village chief of Wanjiazhuang is right, it's better for us to disperse, not only to take care of each other, but also to make the demon beast have nowhere to escape." ”

The village chief's words were recognized by these warriors.Li Yun, the master of the Li family, took the lead in flying towards the roof in the distance, connecting the dots under his feet, dragging a long afterimage behind him, and quickly disappeared from everyone's sight. And that Sun Jin also turned over and jumped up and jumped on the nearest roof. For a while, one by one, the warriors either ran into the courtyard or flew onto the roof, looking for a good waiting place one by one.

Yuan Hou saw that these people had left, and turned around and urged Lei Yan to say, "Brother Lei, you should also hurry up and find a good place, I'll go first." Saying that, Yuan Hou stepped a little, and the whole person floated up like a feather and then came directly to the roof, and then a few dodges also disappeared from Lei Yan's sight.

"Time is really a bit rushed!" Lei Yan smiled and shook his head. He had to make some preparations, this snake was basically confirmed, but there were still many questions, first of all, since this snake was a demon beast, why didn't it devour people, and thirdly, why the wound on the child's chest was so neat.

Lei Yan walked in the direction of the northeast, while taking out some white powder from the demon weapon and throwing it into the air, these powders have no smell, no toxicity, similar to ordinary dust. But these powders glow faintly when they get stained with blood. Time is relatively short, and he can only do this, he hopes that this can help those martial artists find demon beasts in the dark. Of course, this is only to help those warriors, and he doesn't need it at all, because he has an ability, and under the ability to perceive everything around him, even if it is dark.

When he came to the northeast position, Lei Yan jumped onto the roof one by one, and then sat cross-legged on the roof of a house. The ability spread at the same time, but he could only perceive a few miles of villages in a dozen miles around him.

"Alas. When the white-haired old man saw the martial artist leave, a trace of sadness flashed in his eyes, and he sighed, "Now you can only count on these masters." If you can't do it again, you can only leave here according to the previous agreement. ”

When the villagers beside the old man heard this, they were silent, leaving the place where their ancestors lived, and their hearts were desolate.

"Tonight. Let's hold on a little more and make good rounds. The white-haired old man said.

"Yes, village chief!" These dozens of the most elite men in the clan, one by one, holding torches and carrying knives and guns, divided into several teams and began to patrol the village.

Yuan Hou lay casually on the roof. Crossing Erlang's legs, dangling, he is very confident in his stunts.

"Unless this demon beast doesn't appear, if it does, I must let you taste Hou Ye's flying knife, no matter how fast you are, you can't escape my flying knife! Hmph, I want to have a good look at what kind of demon beast you are!" Yuan Hou muttered.

As time passed, Yuan Hou's eyes kept scanning the surroundings, and his ears were not idle, but the surroundings were still quiet, and he couldn't help muttering in his heart, "I've been waiting for more than two hours, why haven't there been any movements." ”

Suddenly.

"Hiss~" A very slight voice came into Yuan Hou's ears, Yuan Hou's eyes lit up, and he turned over and then stepped a little, and fell to the ground silently like a fallen leaf. He tapped his toes on the ground, without making the slightest sound, and in a few steps, one by one, plunged into a courtyard.

The courtyard was quiet, and Yuan Hou looked ahead to find that the door of the grass hut was open. At this time, who dared not close the door, he immediately judged that this was the demon beast's doing, and at the same time, he was also very surprised in his heart, "Is this a human or a demon beast?"

Just as Yuan Hou hesitated, a long shadow flew out of the house. In the darkness, Yuan Hou vaguely saw a long black shadow, covered with scales shining with cold light, and below the long shadow was actually a child, according to the child's signs of not moving, he judged that the child was either dead or unconscious.

"Sure enough, it's a demon beast! still want to escape?" Yuan Hou jumped up, followed closely, and just jumped out of the courtyard, the flying knife in his hand flashing with cold light took off his hand and headed towards the demon beast.

"Whew!"

With a strong whistling sound, the throwing knife shot straight at the long black shadow.

"Boom!", some sparks splashed on the dense scales, and the long black shadow drilled into the alley next to it, and disappeared from Yuan Hou's field of vision.

Yuan Hou's heart was cold, he was an innate martial artist, and the internal force contained in the flying knife could pierce even if it was steel armor, but it couldn't shoot through the scales. The most hateful thing is that the demon beast actually fled without a fight, and in a short period of time, not only did he not see clearly what the demon beast looked like, but even the child was not saved.

"The demon beast has appeared!" the angry Yuan Hou raised his head and screamed, and the scream seemed to run through the sky and resounded in the sky above the entire Wanjiazhuang.

In response, almost all the people in the entire Wanjiazhuang rushed out, and in just a few breaths, the entire village was full of villagers, shouting with weapons in their hands.

"The monster is here!" someone immediately shouted.

"The demon beast is running towards the north!" shouted one after another, and the Wanjiazhuang was full of people everywhere, and the demon beast could barely hide.
