At sunset, at this time, the prince and his entourage finally found a village where they could settle down.

This village is not very large, it is estimated that there can be about 200 households, and the whole village is full of hunters.

Now the new country is still in a feudal society, and the livelihood of the common people is nothing more than farming and business, planting land in spring and summer, and in winter, if there is enough food at home, they can cats at home for a winter.

And in this great northwest, the harvest in the fields is not good every year. In winter, when food rations are severely insufficient, the villagers gather a group of young laborers to go up the mountains to hunt and make up for the lack of food with prey.

Moreover, the fur of this prey can be exchanged for some change to supplement the family after the transportation is convenient in the spring.

The group stood at the entrance of the village, watching the curling smoke rise.

I felt a sense of tranquility in my heart, and I believe that if I lived this kind of small life, I would definitely live a very comfortable life without excessive taxes and miscellaneous taxes.

First of all, Steward Zhang went to negotiate the housing issue, leaving some money for the locals, so that they could free up more houses for their group to rest.

In the end, the villagers vacated a few rooms, one each for the prince and his wife, and Li Lianfeng, and the rest of the rooms were squeezed into one by more than a dozen people.

The night's rest is not very stable, and I am tired all the way, and I snore and call one after another.

In addition, there was the sound of something roaring outside the village after late at night, although it was very loud, but it was quite far away from the village.

The next morning, just after dawn, I heard a commotion outside the house.

Wang Yan rubbed his sore neck and sat up, looking back at the rest of the room sleeping like dead pigs, his heart was unhappy.

When I pushed the door and went out, I saw that the local villagers were surrounding the entrance of the village, not knowing what they were discussing.

When I got closer, I saw a corpse that had frozen hard early, lying at the entrance of the village.

I saw that this person's legs were pulled out in unison, and a huge dent was also smashed on his back.

Looking at the long blood mark behind this corpse, didn't this Orion just climb down from the mountain?!

Turning his head to look at the mountains around the village, he was surprised.

"There's definitely something on this mountain. ”

The deceased was not very old, in his early twenties, and was a hunter in the village.

A few days ago, the village had sent a group of hunters up the mountain, but they had not waited for the group to return for a few days.

Today, the village just wanted to send someone up the mountain to look for it, but I didn't expect to find this tragic young man as soon as I arrived at the entrance of the village.

Presumably the gang from a few days ago was also ......

"Take it, what does it look like to be noisy. ”

Steward Zhang had just finished washing up at this time when he saw this group of villagers gathered together, noisy and shouting. frowned, and said in a cold voice.

"Isn't it just a dead person, what should you do, don't disturb my master's dream. ”

"What do you say! Boy, dare you say it again!"

When everyone in the village saw Steward Zhang talking like this, they all became angry all of a sudden, where could anyone talk like this.

"Scatter them all for me! Carry the corpses away! If you make any more trouble, you will all be dragged to the army! Send the frontier to be slaves for generations!"

The villagers all shut up when they heard Steward Zhang's scare.

Distribute the frontier and be a slave for generations. It's all sent to the frontier, and what the hell is the generation.

Although I don't know what the group of masters who came here yesterday are doing, the people who can come to this small village in this season are either giant businessmen or big officials.

No matter what kind of person it is, it's not something that your own group of fart people can eat.

Seeing this, Wang Yan also shook his hands, although he felt some pity for this group of people, it really had nothing to do with him, and he turned around and wanted to go back to make up for a return to sleep, thinking that he would wait for another hour or two to set off.

"Butler, what's going on outside? ”

"Lord Hui, it's okay outside, but there is an extra road at the entrance of the village. ”

"The road is down? ”

"Yes, I'll send someone to clean it up. ”

As soon as he finished speaking, Steward Zhang immediately ordered someone to take away the corpse at the entrance of the village.

When he was cleaning up the body, Steward Zhang touched the huge fist mark on the back of the body with his hand, and couldn't help but be a little surprised in his heart.

There should be some demon beasts on this mountain, and the grade is not low, so I have to wait for the prince to wake up before I report it to him.

"Steward Zhang, put the corpse away, I'll take a look. ”

Li Lianfeng didn't know when she woke up, she was already dressed neatly now, and it seemed that she had gone out for a walk in the morning.

Everyone put down the remains, and Li Lianfeng stepped forward to take a closer look.

I saw that this man's legs were pulled out in unison, and he was hit in the back, and his entire back was knocked down.

It is not known how this hunter was able to climb back to the village from the mountains.

After checking it, he took out a silk handkerchief from his arms, wiped his little hand, which was not dirty, and waved his hand to Steward Zhang.

"Go down, I'll tell the prince the rest. ”

"Master Li, but this trip ......"

"It's not a day or two. ”

The prince was eating breakfast after washing up at this time, and Li Lianfeng arched his hand beside the prince and said.

"Lord Wang, there are demon beasts rampant in the surrounding mountains, you can see if it is easy to get rid of him, so as to protect the safety of the people on this side. ”

When the prince heard this, he unhurriedly filled a bowl of rice porridge for Li Lianfeng from the basin in front of him.

"Come, mercy wind, eat porridge. “

"Thank you, Lord Wang. “

Li Lianfeng didn't say a word, and took a big bite of the bowl.

"Mercy Wind, has you found out what level this demon beast is?"

"The level is not high, and it is estimated that the strength is between the peak of the Yellow Rank and the early stage of the Xuan Rank. “

"Can those little guys handle it? “

"It should be fine. “

Hearing this, the prince pondered for a while.

"Come, Mercy Wind, eat some little pickles, this little pickles taste good. Let's stay for another day today, and let the housekeeper accompany these little guys up the mountain to practice. “

Li Lianfeng nodded when he heard this, and then concentrated on eating breakfast.

Wang Yan just lay down for a while and smelled a burst of rice fragrance, which was estimated to be rice porridge.

On weekdays, I am used to eating big fish and meat, and I have a cold rice porridge and pickles.

Breakfast is over.

Li Lianfeng called several of his apprentices to his side.

"Wang Yan of Dragon City, I think a few of you have heard that there are demon beasts on this mountain. Several of you have been practicing for many years, and it is time to test the results of your cultivation in actual combat, but you must go down the mountain before dark. “

The crowd replied in unison.

"Yes, Master. ”

......

After casually arranging, let these apprentices go up the mountain.

As for Steward Zhang, Li Lianfeng did not let him follow him openly.

Just protect it secretly, Li Lianfeng is confident that her apprentice is far less unbearable than needing someone to protect her.

And even if he is out, with Steward Zhang's skills, it is more than enough to protect his apprentices.

Wang Ye found a hunter in the village who was familiar with the mountain road, and followed Wang Yan and his party up the mountain.

In the cold winter of heavy snow, almost all the roads that can go up the mountain are closed by heavy snow, and only a few small roads that Orion has stepped on all year round are still passable.

The group walked along the path for a short time before they noticed a few huge footprints on the side of the road.

"Brother Wang Yan, Brother Longcheng, look! What a big footprint!"

Wang Yan and Longcheng looked in the direction of the little chicken leg finger, and there were a few footprints not far from their group.

The footprint didn't look very new, and it was not known what animal had left it, and although the wind and snow had covered most of it last night, its huge outline was still clearly visible.

This footprint alone is more than a meter long, and it is difficult for Wang Yan to imagine that the owner of this footprint will be......

This young hunter is called Erzhuzi, the name of Zhao Zhuzhu, and his hair is long, and he has a turban tied around his head, often covering one of his eyes.

The cousin who climbed back this morning is his cousin, although the relationship is not close, but it is still a relative.

It can be said that the whole village is the result of inbreeding, and the figure of each one is not very good, and none of them can be more than one meter seven, the standard five-short body.

Since Erzhuzi followed Wang Yan and the others up the mountain, Wang Yan has seen this guy sniffing everywhere, and he doesn't know what he is going to do.

In fact, before leaving, Wang Yan asked the prince to ask for his erha, but after asking for a long time, the prince couldn't bear to hand over the "Northern Regions Divine Dog" to Wang Yan, and later he didn't know where to get such a hunter who was said to have a good nose.

But no matter how it is, the human nose is still not as good as the dog's nose.

"I said Erzhuzi, you have been smelling since you went up the mountain, and it has been nearly an hour since you smelled it, do you smell anything strange? ”

"Not yet, this is winter, my nose is not very good, if it is in the summer, my nose can be a smell of a quasi, a smell of an accurate. But in this winter, why doesn't it work, ah...... Ahh......h

Looking up at this young hunter, Wang Yan couldn't help but feel a little headache, originally thought that Wang Ye had arranged a tracking master, but he never expected that he was a patient with rhinitis.

"Pillar, did you see that footprint when you went up the mountain before? ”

"Of course, that guy, I'll tell you, there was originally a mountain god on this mountain, and then one day this mountain god hooked up with a little fairy and ran away, it doesn't matter if he ran away, but it doesn't matter if he runs, but when he leaves, he doesn't take all the things and throws them on this mountain, and I don't know what breed it is, over the years, this orangutan has grown bigger and bigger, and the people in our village can see the footprints of this orangutan almost every time they go up the mountain, and almost every year in our village there are hunters who go up the mountain and never come down. One more time, I saw this gorilla with my own eyes, and I looked at this guy from afar, good guy, this gorilla, as high as the mountain, with white hair on his back, and tendon meat all over his body, let me tell you......"

Listening to Erzhuzi's description of the demon beast, Wang Yan couldn't help but say secretly in his heart.

"Silverback gorilla?!"

In fact, at first, Wang Yan thought that this person was a man of few words, but the good guy didn't expect that he would take this sentence, but Leng opened his conversation box, and this guy talked endlessly.

The footprints had just been checked, and everyone was just about to set off. Suddenly, I felt a tremor on the ground, followed by the sound of a bear roaring in front of me.

"Earthquake?!"
