Chapter 20: The Unknown Beast

Qinghuang Ling, Fengguo Village.

At dawn, the sky will not dawn, the busy farming season has passed, and every household in Fengguo Village has not yet gotten up, and the peace is broken by an abrupt knock on the door.

"Bang! Bang! The village chief ...... Village Chief!" was banged frantically on the door of Binge's house, the village chief of Fengguo Village.

Binger was awakened directly from his sleep, after so many years as the village chief, Binger can still hear that the person who shouted to him is the only carpenter in the village, Cobir, and he must be in a hurry to shoot the door of his house so early, thinking about getting up quickly and letting his wife and children go to sleep again.

opened the door casually, and sure enough, Cobier was standing in front of him, but the smile that usually hung on his face was gone, and his face was full of horror and bewilderment, and Binger also found his wife Anne and daughter Jona behind Cobir.

"What's wrong? panicked early in the morning, what's going on?" Binger asked a frightened Cobir, and looked behind them, where nothing was there.

"Village...... Village Chief, I think I'...... Found that guy. Cobir, who had recovered a little, intermittently said to this Binger.

“......”

"What the hell are you talking about! Make things clear!"

"The village chief, who is it! The guy who used to steal poultry has appeared! It's in my sheepfold. Cobier quickly explained.

"What!" Binger was shocked.

Every day of the month, people report to Binger that there are fewer chickens and ducks in their house, and that there is one less yesterday than there is today, and that the thief cannot be caught, and because there are so many of them, that every household begins to drive them home at night instead of putting them in the pen.

I didn't expect this thief to steal chickens and ducks, but now he has changed to stealing sheep.

"Let's go, gather a few people, catch the thief with me first, don't let him escape!"

With that, Binger began to gather a few young and strong men from the village, each armed with a weapon, and hurried to the house of Cobir.

"Village Chief, I have something to say!" said Cobirle suddenly.

"Say!"

Seeing that everyone was looking at him, Cobier said hesitantly: "Village Chief, I think this thief may not be a person, today I was suddenly awakened by the screams in the sheepfold in my sleep, and when I slowly approached the sheepfold, I heard the roar of a beast that looked like a beast, I was startled, I didn't dare to approach, and I pulled my family to hurry to find the village chief." ”

Binger thought for a moment, wondering if he should take the risk of taking everyone with him. After all, the beasts are still very dangerous, Fengguo Village is close to the Black Dragon Mountain Range, and sometimes the beasts in the mountains will indeed break into Fengguo Village.

Every year, herds of wild boars run into the fields in the mountains to plague the crops, and occasionally wild deer can be seen wandering outside the village, and they are frightened to enter the woods when they see people, and there have been people who have seen bears and wolves......

However, there are very few beasts that can come and steal poultry, and now dare to steal sheep, and the only things Binger can think of are bears, wolves, leopards, and tigers, after all, only these large beasts of prey will take sheep as prey.

These carnivores are not easy to deal with, bears and tigers are invincible to non-knights, the strength of bears can be close to a ton, and the ultimate strength of low-level knights is close to a thousand kilograms is almost a ton of strength, and tigers also have a strength of nearly eight hundred kilograms, and only heavily armed low-level knights can hunt bears and tigers alone, although they are not magical beasts, they are stronger than many low-level magical beasts.

The leopard is not too powerful, but the speed is too fast, it is difficult to be caught if you want to escape, the wolf is a social animal, and extremely cunning, generally a wolf pack has a minimum of more than a dozen wolves, not to be underestimated.

These carnivores are not to be trifled with, and Binger is hesitant to take everyone to the danger, after all, it is not worth it to cause casualties for the sake of some domestic animals. I can only express my worries first.

"What if it's dangerous?"

"What are so many of us afraid of......"

"I think I have to check it out, I have to catch this guy!"

“......”

......

The next step was the time for discussion, but after listening to Binge's ideas, some of them were afraid of danger and suggested not going, and they would check it out when the beast was gone; Everyone expressed their opinions, and they couldn't agree on their opinions for a while.

"Alright, it's almost dawn now, let's stop arguing here, let's observe from a distance first, and retreat in case of danger." Binger couldn't make any noise with these guys, so he could only think of a compromise.

That's it.

In just a few minutes, a group of people came to the vicinity of Cobir's house, which was just right to see the sheepfold of Cobir's family.

As the sky grew brighter, the situation in the sheepfold was clearly visible, several sheep were clinging to each other, and the beast that was wanted to be seen was nowhere to be seen.

"Village Chief, no, probably already gone!" said Pine the hunter at the head of the group.

"Let's go!" Bing said slowly, leaning over.

The others saw that there was no danger for the time being, so they followed.

"Missing! One sheep is missing, it must have been eaten by something. Cobier said emotionally.

Binger had a bottom in his heart, it seems that the recent disappearance of domestic animals in the village is really the work of this inexplicable beast.

Looking at the thoughtful hunter Pine, Binger said, "Pine, have you found anything? ”

"Village Chief, I just found some footprints in the circle, you can take a look. With that, he led Bing to the place of the footprints.

A group of people had to follow along as if they were having fun, this was a kind of footprint similar to a mouse, not a wolf and a tiger with a large pad of flesh, but it was confusing, it was really a bit big, about the size of a human palm, and it might be an unknown animal.

"I've been hunting for years, but I've never seen such a big footprint. Besides, this beast is estimated to be quite large and carnivorous, and we can't deal with it at all, so I suggest that you ask the Baron for help. Pine said with a serious face, as a hunter, he knows too well about beasts, as long as there is no one who is too large to deal with, it is the best choice to ask the Baron for help.

After listening to Pyne's words, Binger was also inclined to seek the help of Lord Baron, after all, for this unknown beast, his own people may not be able to defeat him, but Lord Baron must have a way.

However, I still haven't figured out what kind of monster is stealing food, so I ran to the baron in a daze to ask for help, and I can't afford to lose this face!

Let's go home first, anyway, the culprit is gone, and the others are useless here.

Back home, Binger sat in a chair in the backyard and thought.

......

Rubbing his head, Binger finally made up his mind and decided to go to Qinghuang Town with a cheeky face.

After all, if this beast is not dealt with, if this problem is not solved, the livestock in the village will continue to be lost, and there may be casualties, and it will be too late to ask for help from the Qinghuang Leader at that time.
