Lei Hu did as he was ordered, and half an hour later, the team set out to sweep away the ghouls. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Fang Yu's hands looked very heavy, but in fact, he left a lot of leeway, after all, Thunder Tiger was a major fighting force in the cottage.
"Hey, Lei Hu, what's the matter, hurt like this?"
"Brother Tiger, what's going on?"
On the way, I met my own people several times, and many people were surprised to see Lei Hu's blue nose and swollen face.
Lei Hu was so aggrieved that he felt that he couldn't raise his head, and he didn't even bother to answer.
The sweep of ghouls continued until dusk, and the first day had a good effect, and the ghouls who were close to the five miles around the big tree village were all cleared.
At the entrance of the cottage, the two teams converged and went home together.
"Haha, Lei Hu, what kind of virtue are you?"
Wang Wen couldn't help laughing when he saw Lei Hu's face swollen like a pig's head.
When he acted separately today, he was still worried about Fang Yu's safety, but he didn't expect that there was nothing to do with Fang Yu when he reunited at this moment, but Lei Hu seemed to have suffered a big loss.
At that moment, he looked at Fang Yu with deep meaning, remembering his calmness during the day, it seemed that this kid had given him a surprise!
"I just accidentally fell, shut up!"
Lei Hu was asked about the wound on his face all day long, and he was so angry that he returned home angrily.
"That guy won't have a problem, right?"
Wang Wen approached Fang Yu, he didn't know what was going on, but he was worried that Lei Hu's personality would do something unfavorable to everyone.
"Uncle Wang, don't worry, he doesn't have the guts."
Fang Yu's eyes narrowed, he could stare at Lei Hu, he dared to do something wrong, he would definitely not let him have a good time.
Wang Wen looked at Fang Yu with some surprise, in just a few days, he felt that Fang Yu's whole person seemed to have changed a lot, and those unruly members of his team had all listened to him just now, it was really incredible.
During the day, he swept away the ghouls, and Fang Yu cultivated wholeheartedly at night.
The approaching day of the corpse tide made him have a strong sense of crisis, hoping to improve his cultivation faster.
The whole big tree village is like a taut clockwork, fully operational, men, women and children work together to strengthen the defense of the cottage.
"Boom-"
On the night of the fourteenth day of the lunar month, Fang Yu was cultivating in the wild as always, and suddenly black smoke billowed outside his body, churning like waves.
The fifth spiritual vein has been opened!
With the impact of the rich yin qi between heaven and earth, he unbelievably jumped several levels in a row in half a month and stepped into the fifth stage of refining his body.
"Roar!"
At the moment when his cultivation broke through, Fang Yu couldn't help but look up to the sky and roar, his eyes opened, and even more red pupils poured out.
In the dark, he is like a peerless ghoul.
"Great! The fifth stage of refining the body, even among the younger generation in Baifang City, I am already a leader! β
Fang Yu's whole heart became excited, remembering the scene when he was driven out of Baifang City.
They are in the same lineage, the grandfather is the contemporary head of the family, and the father is the heir to the head of the family.
However, his grandfather was old and became demented a few years ago, and his father disappeared a year ago, and not long after that, he and his mother were expelled on trumped-up charges.
At that time, he was only a cultivation of a period of body refining, and his qualifications were mediocre among his peers, and he was powerless to resist the family's arrangement, and finally left Baifang City with his mother in humiliation, and finally settled in Dashuzhai.
Fang Yu did not forget the pain of leaving Baifang City at the beginning, and he did not forget the humiliation he carried. Originally, he thought that it was far away for him to return to Baifang City, but now with his flying cultivation speed, he would be able to kill it back sooner or later!
At this time, he didn't even notice it, and the murderous aura in his heart seemed to be much heavier than usual.
"Let's spend tomorrow's corpse tide day first."
Fang Yu clenched his fists, abandoned the distracting thoughts in his heart, jumped in the mountains and forests, and returned to the big tree village.
On the fifteenth day of the lunar month, the day of the corpse tide has arrived.
It has just dawned in the east, and the entire big tree village is in a tense mood.
Uncle Wang Wen led a few people to inspect the fence around the cottage over and over again to see if there were any gaps in the defense, and the Huang brothers instructed the less experienced youths to learn the art of combined attacks, telling them where the key points of the ghouls were.
The whole cottage is full of people who are doing their part, and they are all ready to deal with tonight's full moon night!
Unexpectedly, there was an accident in the afternoon.
"Ah, my stomach hurts, it hurts!"
Aunt Wang, who is waiting to give birth at home, is about to give birth today!
This is very bad news, everyone is still too busy to take care of themselves on the day of the corpse tide, and a pregnant woman who is about to give birth can imagine what kind of situation she will face.
After Uncle Wang Wen found out, he rushed home as soon as possible, his face full of nervousness and apprehension.
The child is about to be born, which is a happy thing, but today, it is born in such a last world!
Wang Wen held his wife's hand tightly, she moaned in pain, and Yan Zhengyun took care of her every step of the way.
"Brother Wen, do you think our children can survive?"
The mother who is in labor is always very fragile and helpless, and Aunt Wang, who is always optimistic on weekdays, also showed a hesitant look at this time.
In this cursed world, every child is born with a heavy fate.
"I'm going to survive! Your mother and son will be safe, and our family of three will be together forever. β
Wang Wen gently kissed his wife's forehead and said with a smile.
Aunt Wang couldn't help but laugh when she heard what he said, she always believed what her husband said.
As long as he is there, she is not afraid of any strong winds and waves.
"Zhengyun, she'll be taken care of by you, please."
Wang Wen comforted his wife and solemnly saluted Yan Zhengyun.
Everything is simple in the mountains and wilderness, and Yan Zhengyun is the only midwife.
"Why is Brother Wang so polite, our mother and son have been taken care of so much by you, I will definitely let their mother and son be safe."
Yan Zhengyun hurriedly assured.
Wang Wen nodded, and then left the house. As soon as he left the room, his expression was somewhat restrained, and his eyes were red.
Fang Yu happened to arrive at this time, and seeing Uncle Wang like this, he could understand his mood at the moment.
"Xiaoyu, do you know? Even if I risk my life tonight, I will keep their mother and son safe! β
Wang Wen said it categorically, looking like he was at home.
Tonight's corpse tide day will be more dangerous than ever, but for the sake of his wife and the soon-to-be-born child, he will defend the cottage even if he sheds the last drop of blood!
"Uncle Wang, don't worry, I will follow you, and we will all be fine!"
Fang Yu could only be so comforted, he had the same mood and wanted to protect his home.
"No, you're in charge of protecting the tree hole tonight. Later, your mother and aunt will be transferred there, as well as other old people and children, and your task is to keep an eye on them. β
Wang Wen shook his head and actually arranged another task for Fang Yu.
"Uncle Wang, this is absolutely impossible, I want to fight side by side with you!"
Fang Yu wanted to refuse at the moment, he knew that Uncle Wang was for his good, when the tide of ghouls came, the survival rate of the people on the front line was the lowest, he was responsible for guarding the tree hole, and the chance of surviving at that time was much higher than others.
But he didn't want to, he was willing to charge on the front line.
"Please, I know that your cultivation has improved, and this request is actually a bit selfish."
Wang Wen suddenly saluted Fang Yu, which made him a little unexpected.
"In the worst-case scenario, the cottage is breached, and only the people in the hollow of the tree can escape. But the people in the hollow were all old and weak, women and children, and even if they escaped that night, it would be difficult for them to survive afterwards. Your uncle and I are actually a little selfish, if you can, if something happens to me, I hope you can help me take care of my wife and children and move them to a safe place! β
Wang Wen sincerely requested, he thought it through and knew what was best.
There must be someone who takes care of the people in the hollow. It's not pessimism, it's just in case.
"I understand, listen to Uncle Wang."
Fang Yu couldn't refuse Wang Wen's request, and finally nodded heavily.
Uncle Wang's estimation of the tide of ghouls has always been the most accurate, this time he is so pessimistic, is it really difficult to avoid this catastrophe tonight?
Uncle Wang quickly left, and he returned to the image of the iron-blooded man in front of people, and Yan Zhengyun also took Aunt Wang to transfer into the tree hole as soon as possible, facing the basin inside.
When it was dusk, the big tree village had made all the preparations, and there were qi inducers stationed in all directions.
Darkness is coming!
Fang Yu sat on the trunk of the lightning strike tree, looking at the gradually sinking sunset, and sighed in his heart, after tonight, how many cottages will fall?
"Brother Xiaoyu!"
The three fools were driven back from the gate of the village, and they stayed under the lightning strike, and when they saw Fang Yu on it, they waved to him with a smile.
Tonight was extremely dangerous, and the three fools couldn't help at all without cultivation, so they were rushed over.
With his mental defects, he had no sense of crisis at all, and at this time, he looked like an optimist, and Fang Yu was so envious.
Fang Yu jumped down from the trunk of the tree and came to the three fools.
The three fools had yellow muscles and thin muscles, revealing their jacular-spotted teeth, just looking at Fang Yu and smirking.
"Don't worry, Brother Xiaoyu won't let you lose your life."
Fang Yu hugged the three fools and climbed back into the tree.
The three fools are very light, and the weight is almost negligible in the eyes of him, who has the strength of more than twenty horses.
He took him to the treetops and gave a stern explanation.
"Remember, no matter what's going on down there, you can't go down tonight."
The number of places in the tree cave is limited, and the three fools are helpless, so naturally no one fights for him, so if he is miserable tonight, he can only be disemboweled.
But Fang Yu finally moved his heart of compassion, and the naΓ―ve three fools were like his younger brothers, so he placed him on this tree trunk.
Although the trunk is still not as safe as the hollow, at least the survival rate is much higher.
The lightning struck the wood, and ordinary ghouls did not dare to approach it at all.
"Got it, listen to Brother Xiaoyu."
The three smiled stupidly, convinced of Fang Yu's words.
Fang Yu didn't say anything more, observing the dark sky around him.
When the last rays of light were swallowed up by darkness, the red monstrous full moon slowly rose into the sky.
