On Chinese New Year's Eve, the Pan family sat on the north tower of Dingfeng Town to keep vigil.

Tonight, all the people in Dingfeng Town who had enough internal strength to maintain their combat effectiveness under the severe cold gathered on the city wall and scattered everywhere, guarding carefully.

Those who have poor internal strength and are not very able to withstand the cold will form patrols and patrol around the city.

The light masters led by the father and son of the Han family are sitting in the town office, and together with the town captain, they are responsible for delivering news and rushing to help everywhere at any time.

Every year on Chinese New Year's Eve, it is a difficult time for Northland.

The northern land was not within the scope of the Kyushu Great Array, and even when the Tianxiong Dynasty was in the beginning, it was never able to rule here. For countless long years, the Central Plains forces have never been able to operate here.

This meant that the northern land could not enjoy the protection of the countless large formations that connected the mountains and rivers all over Kyushu.

The only thing that can protect the northern land is a circle formation based on the Jincheng defense line. The power of this formation is not bad, once it is fully activated, even those desolate beasts whose strength is comparable to that of the demon gods and immortals will not be able to break into it.

However, the Jincheng Great Array can only defend against the desolate people and beasts from outside, but it can't defend against the demons and monsters inside the northern land.

And at the end of each year, the luck of the world flows, and there are often demons who take advantage of the previous year's luck to disperse, and the next year's luck has not yet risen to attack the world.

This kind of thing will not happen in Kyushu, because there are many formations in Kyushu, and countless sages and great sages have already arranged it, unless it is a shortage of soldiers and horses that spoils the luck of the world, otherwise countless luck will be concentrated in those large and small formations, and it will not cause the luck to decline because of the New Year's Eve, attracting demons to snoop.

There is also this formation in the north, and there is also such a one in Dingfeng Town. But after all, the time is still short, and the accumulation is not enough, unless the full force is broken out regardless of everything, it is inevitable that the deterrent power of the Guardian Array will be reduced.

That's pretty much the case in the towns of the Northland. Unless there are a few people close to the Jincheng defense line who can use the Jincheng Great Array to shelter, all towns must arrange a large number of people to watch the night on this night at the end of the year to guard against demon attacks.

What's more, in order to prevent attracting the attention of demons and monsters, the city walls should not be lit as much as possible, which increases the danger and difficulty of the vigil.

Don't underestimate this overnight, there are at least ten towns in the history of the Northland that disappeared and turned into ruins in such a small overnight period.

Not only that, but if the demons take advantage of this opportunity to sneak into the town, then the guardian array will not be able to detect them, and the consequences will be endless.

Back then, Pan Long's father, Pan Lei, once went to a nearby town to help exterminate a demon who sneaked into the town at the end of the year. Many people died in that battle, and in the end, the demons were eliminated.

Something like this happens almost every year in the Northlands.

Therefore, every night of the New Year's Pass, Dingfeng Town will be highly nervous, but all the manpower that can be used must be used. Everyone sleeps endlessly, and they have to stay up until the rooster cries at sunrise, the sky is bright, and a stone in their hearts can fall to the ground.

Then, everyone went home to take a hot bath, drink a reassuring wine, and officially start the New Year.

"In the past, I was very worried about the end of the year. Pan Lei sat on a simple wooden bench, staring at the dark snowfield in the distance, but his voice was calm and soft, "But this year, I am at ease. ”

"Why?" Pan Long asked with a smile.

"The family is reunited, even if the sky falls, there is nothing to be afraid of. Pan Lei picked up a silver wine jug and took a sip, "What's more, our family is all innate masters, no matter how powerful the demons and monsters here in the Northland are, in fact, it is nothing more than this grade." Not to mention that they don't necessarily come, and even if they do, there's nothing to be afraid of!"

Ren Yue smiled and shook his head: "Don't talk nonsense, beware of good spirits and bad spirits." ”

"It's okay if you're a bad spirit, this kid is very powerful now. Killing an ordinary innate master is similar to killing a chicken, what do I have to worry about?"

Ren Yue was stunned for a moment and looked at his son: "Xiaolong, are you so powerful now?"

Pan Long touched his nose and smiled.

Although this is true, he is inevitably a little shy to be so praised by his own parents.

"This kid used to be known as 'a penny hero', and he helped one person fight twenty or thirty innate masters of Yizhou Green Forest in Tianshou, and killed others to the ground. Do you think he is strong?" Pan Lei said with a smile, "The back waves of the river push the front waves, and a new generation replaces the old." This river and lake is already the world of his generation!"

"Daddy, don't say that......"

"My son is very capable and has a brilliant record, what can't be said?" Pan Lei snorted and took another sip, "If it weren't for your grandfather's repeated emphasis that 'the bird that emerges is the first to be arrowed', I would have been eager to brag all over the north and let everyone know that my son is a peerless genius, much better than Di Luonan!"

Ren Yue said with a smile: "The more you say, the more exaggerated it becomes, Di Luonan is the prince of Great Xia, he has eaten panacea since he was a child, and countless famous teachers have tried his best to teach." People step into the innate at the age of twelve, and they are already true grandmasters at the age of thirty. Our Xiaolong's talent is definitely stronger than him, but our family background is not as good as his. In the initial stage, Xiaolong will always suffer a loss. ”

After she finished speaking, she turned her head to look at her son and comforted her: "But Xiaolong, don't be discouraged, the beginning is fast, and it doesn't explain anything." Life is very long, and it is really powerful to go high in the end. Di Luonan is just a family background, so he can beat you at the beginning. You are inferior to him at the age of thirty, but by the time you are sixty you will be no worse than him, and at the age of one or two hundred you will surely be far behind him!"

"What's more, on the path of cultivation, it doesn't matter what lies ahead, whether you can live forever in the end is the most important thing. Because our Qionglai faction has a grudge against the Shushan Immortals, each generation of real master will challenge them. There was also a time in history when a generation of several geniuses came out, and everyone teamed up to fight the immortals and run away in embarrassment. But the years go by, and the geniuses can't survive the time after all. When they get old, the bastard fairy returns...... They were still laughing at their graveyard and saying like 'how can a fighting god be better than a fighting man'. ”

"Xiaolong, of course Mom doesn't want you to learn from that bastard immortal. But that bastard is right, it's better to fight than to fight. Thousands of years later, your enemies will die even for future generations, and you will still be able to roam the world with grace, this is the greatest victory!"

Her girl-like face showed a smile full of maternal brilliance: "Son, mother has confidence in you! You are the most outstanding genius of this generation, if there is anyone in this generation who can live forever, it is you!"

Pan Long's face was flushed by his parents' repeated praise, it was not that he had never experienced the situation where everyone praised him, but the praise of outsiders could only make him secretly proud, but the praise of his parents made him really shy.

Just as he was about to say something to resolve the embarrassment, his expression changed suddenly, and he stood up and turned around to look out of the city.

He clearly felt that there was an aura that even he felt deeply stressed, slowly approaching.

Pan Lei and Ren Yue saw that their son's face suddenly changed, and they immediately reacted, and immediately stood up and looked outside vigilantly.

"What's going on?" asked Pan Lei.

"There's a big guy coming. Pan Long whispered, "I'm afraid it's not easy to deal with." ”

"Why didn't I feel it at all?" Ren Yue said with some skepticism, "Could it be a mistake?"

Before she could finish speaking, her eyes widened suddenly.

A large golden sphere floats in the air to the north.

The night is dark tonight, and there is wind and snow blocking the view, even the innate master can't see far, thinking that the golden ball is not very far from Dingfeng Town.

"What the hell is this?" she couldn't help but ask.

Pan Lei secretly clenched his fists.

He had far more adventures than his wife, and with only a glimpse of it, he had already vaguely guessed what it was.

But he would rather not be able to guess himself!

Because...... According to his guess, the golden ball was actually ...... One eye!

There are clouds in the "Divine Mystery Sutra": the north of Kyushu, or the grass is reckless, or the dust and sand cover the ground, and it is said to be a great wilderness. In the midst of the wilderness, there are giants, one-eyed and long-bodied, feeding on the mountains and forests. The power is immeasurable, and the power is immeasurable. Or say, after the god of the Emperor who moved the mountain, Kua'e. It is unknown whether it is true or false.

Wen Chaogong has commented on this passage: This giant should be dressed in green, and there is also an alias called "Zagu", and the natural enemy is some kind of two-eyed giant called "Gundam......

Pan Lei had naturally read this story, and when he was young, he even left the Jincheng defense line and went to the depths of the Great Wilderness further north to find those legendary giant beasts.

But he never found it.

But he knew that these behemoths really existed. In the Jincheng defense line, there were the bones of some giant beasts, and he had once seen a phalange, which was larger than his own body.

A person's finger bones are no more than an inch, and a grown man can even be six feet tall or more.

Based on this calculation, wouldn't the owner of that phalanx be as tall as thirty or forty zhang when he was alive?!

It's a walking hill!

When Pan Lei was younger, he wanted to find such a giant and use its neck to test how many pieces of his knife there were. But now, he only hoped that the giant did not exist at all, but was just his own delusion.

But he knew that, just as he had been younger, his wish probably couldn't come true.

A moment later, a large figure loomed in the wind and snow.

As Pan Lei guessed, it was a pale giant, standing on the ground, its waist was already taller than the city tower of Dingfeng Town, and on its huge head, only a round eye in the middle of the head looked even a little funny.

It didn't have any special aura on its body, and it didn't even show any emotions of joy and sorrow in its eyes. But the moment he saw its expressionless face, Pan Lei felt as if he had been punched in the chest, and he felt depressed for a while, and even the operation of the true qi in his body became stagnant.

"This thing...... It's not normal!" he couldn't help but say, "What kind of youkai is it?"

Ren Yue didn't answer, the exercises she practiced were authentic to the Daomen, and her ability to perceive demons and evil was far above her husband who was born as a martial artist. The moment she saw that eye, she felt the terrifying evil aura contained in this eye.

It's not the level of an ordinary "monster" or "monster", but something far above that.

It has even been able to completely restrain its own innate terrifying aura!

In the face of such an enemy, not to mention a few innate masters, even if the entire Dingfeng Town is combined, it is not enough to see, right?

Maybe...... Only when the old ancestor is born out of the mountain can he clean it up.

(I don't know if if my ancestors will come out of the mountain to destroy it if I die here...... ）

Her hands and feet were cold, but strange thoughts flashed through her heart.

At this moment, the figure flashed, and Pan Long rushed out.

He is powerful, his perception range is much wider than that of his parents, and he can feel much more things than his parents.

In the eyes of Pan Lei and Ren Yue, this giant was as desperate as death descended, but in his eyes, it was a strange and distorted thing, completely unreasonable.

is such a big man, and when he walks, he actually flutters and doesn't make any sound. Can you believe this?

If something is abnormal, it must be a demon, such a strange thing, he would never dare to let it get close to Dingfeng Town.

Not to mention anything else, if he waits for him to fight this monster, the aftermath of the battle between the two of them may endanger the lives of his parents.

Even if the parents are blessed with Qitian and are not affected by them, Dingfeng Town is so big, but they can't hide from it.

The city gate caught fire, affecting the fish in the pond. God knows how many people will die in Dingfeng Town after a battle is fought!

So he quickly made up his mind to lure this thing away and fight it from a distance, so that Dingfeng Town would not be implicated.

He leaped into the air, like a boulder thrown from a catapult, and flew past the giant in an instant.

And the cold light flashed in his hand, and the sword of revenge was pulled out, and with a heavy slash, it slashed at the giant's head.

In this knife, Pan Long did not use any special means, that is, he concentrated his true qi on the blade and sent out a sword qi attack. Of course, even if it was just a sword qi, it was enough to cut through ordinary wood and stone, and if it was armor of inferior quality, it would also be cut in two.

The giant was stabbed in the top of his head, and there was no bleeding from the skin, only a dull thud.

But it was immediately enraged, turned around, and chased in the direction of Pan Long's flying, and let out an angry roar as it pursued.

And with the roar, a breath so strong that it made people shudder suddenly erupted, like a gust of wind, sweeping the entire Dingfeng Town.

At this moment, whether it was on night duty or patrolling in Dingfeng Town, even those who had fallen asleep were awakened.

Although they may not be strong, or they may not be knowledgeable, or they may even be confused, and most of them are not aware of what is happening, the instincts of the creatures are already telling them.

Danger is coming!
