As the sun sets, smoke rises, and the town is immersed in quiet years.

Only on the stone bridge at the west end of the town, there was a "tinkling" sound, and a cow was leisurely gnawing on the grass by the river.

The grass and trees are vigorous, and although the early autumn is coming, the grass is still endless, so that the buffalo is very happy.

It looked up and saw the mountain god holding a pillar, measuring it left and right, and did not know how to place it.

"Moo," the buffalo urged him, and leisurely descended the embankment, his tongue curling up a splash.

When the buffalo was drinking the river water, the bamboo forest on the other side of the river suddenly made a noise.

The buffalo raised its head vigilantly and saw countless birds gushing out of the bamboo forest, "chirping" Wuyang and a group flew towards the town.

The sunset was obscured, like a dark cloud with no end in sight, so that the town quickly darkened, and the people who worked in shock and chatted looked up at the sky in horror.

In the coming storm, the dark clouds made by birds will press on the hearts of the people like a stone, making everyone completely panicked.

The silence of the town was broken, and the people took to the streets, looking in the direction from which the clouds were coming, frowning and talking.

Just when they were worried, there were waves in the west again, and the sound of "dong dong" gradually came, making the people move towards the inn in unison.

In the open space in front of the inn, there are buffaloes to protect them, and they can find out what is going on.

Cao'er, Liu Liu and Wei Zai are already standing in front of the river embankment, and Hu Muyuan is standing next to Wei Zai, and the two have been in close contact in recent days.

Everyone looked at the bamboo forest on the opposite bank with a solemn face.

The bamboo forest in the distance, between the slanting sun and the dark clouds made of birds, is like a monster about to wake up, letting out a terrifying muffled roar.

"Woo", the white wolf in the bamboo forest is howling, and his voice is desolate and poignant, as if a catastrophe is coming, and the future is uncertain, which makes everyone feel more frightened in their ears.

More and more birds flew out of the bamboo forest, and when the grass looked up, many of the birds and birds, which were natural predators, were now flying east desperately together.

The silent sea of bamboo surged, like a windy sea, and the waves continued to swell eastward, making the tall trees tremble.

There will be a great calamity when a vision falls from the sky, and everyone watched quietly, not daring to gasp for breath.

Suddenly, there was a "bang", and the half-light and half-dark bamboo forest was torn open like a curtain, and the wolves rushed out of the bamboo forest as fast as lightning.

They protected the White Mountain Wolf in the middle and ran in the direction of the town.

When the people panicked, the buffalo walked to the west end of the stone bridge to defend it, and the mountain wolves also came to the stone bridge in the blink of an eye.

"Woo", the white mountain waves protected by the mountain wolf screamed again, and the mountain wolf that came straight towards the town turned around and ran towards the stone bridge.

The people breathed a sigh of relief, but soon heard the sound of splashing water and panicked again.

The scar-faced brother soon reported that the wolf had crossed the river in shallow water upstream, and had gone east without looking back.

The wolf was quickly gone, but the vibration of the running monster on the ground did not stop.

Soon the people saw that a group of huge bamboo rats had left the bamboo forest, which had been a disaster for generations, and followed in the footsteps of the mountain wolves, wading through the shallow water and crossing the river to the east.

For a while, the field was covered with dense bamboo rats, and between the half-light and half-darkness cast by the birds, it was like a river flowing, making people's scalps tingle.

The bamboo rat is getting bigger and bigger, and there are even snakes caught in it, running away in a hurry, and everyone even saw two or three mountain adults.

The night gradually darkened, and the scene on the other side could no longer be seen, only the sound of running could be heard, and people only felt that the mountain was almost empty.

The people did not dare to go back, the old, the weak, the sick and the disabled stayed in the inn, and everything else was laid in the streets and open spaces outside the inn.

The campfire lit in the clearing, and the buffalo lying next to the stone bridge, made them feel much more at ease.

Also feeling at ease is the mountain god, at least at this moment, the figure of the buffalo is majestic in his eyes.

The snake spirit face who went out to look for the mirror and the man in yellow who rode the crane also returned.

The snake spirit face was to the east, and when he returned, he ran into a herd of beasts that had bypassed the town, and it took a lot of trouble to come back, covered in blood.

The man in yellow who rode the crane did not please him, and the birds in the sky went east, and when they came back, they bumped into each other, and they were almost carried to the east.

finally came back, and his body was gray-faced, and his yellow clothes became black.

Entering the inn, the two groups of people did not quarrel, they all had sad faces.

Under the bean-sized oil lamp, the face of the white-eyed old man, the leader of the man in yellow, flickered and darkened, frowning, full of solemnity, and the same was true of the snake spirit face.

Strange and Cao'er served the food, but the tempting aroma made them unable to lift their chopsticks.

After a while, the white-eyed old man sighed, "The gluttony is getting closer and closer, if we can't find the mirror again, we can only retreat." ”

Broken out of context: "The city lord's alliance is imminent, and there may be a way to deal with it." ”

The white-eyed old man shook his head, "It's difficult, although there are many city lords in the fourteen states of the Eastern Wilderness, but there are no enemies against such ancient fierce beasts as gluttony." ”

As for the city lord uniting to deal with gluttony, the white-eyed old man didn't have much confidence, the god and witch who presided over the alliance was not the king of the Eastern Wilderness, and he didn't have such a big face.

Broken Sword said luckily: "Maybe the gluttony can't come to Yangzhou, and go directly to other cities." ”

"Heh", the snake spirit sneered, "You don't know how big the gluttonous appetite is? ”

Broken Sword rarely did not refute.

As the best of the four evils, if you don't stop the gluttony, all the creatures in the city near Dongshan will become a gluttonous meal.

Throughout the night, the movement on the other side of the stone bridge did not stop, and the sound of "dong dong" footsteps made it difficult for everyone to sleep.

Many people were not asleep, except for the scared crying children, there was no sound inside and outside the inn, and everyone was worried.

It had been a long time since the city lord's sword had been hung in this town, and the people had not been so frightened.

The next day, in the morning light, the people, who had not slept all night, saw a group of mountain spiders going around the town, these spiders were the size of a millstone, and they ran like the wind.

There were birds in the sky, as long as snakes, with a row of wings, that flew over the town with a mournful cry.

The rising sun, falling in the gap between their wings, brought a little light to the town and made the hearts much less cloudy.

The buffalo squatted at the head of the bridge, and a few boys pulled weeds and fed the buffalo, they had helped the cattle for the rest of their lives, and they were not so in awe of it.

As soon as the mountain spiders passed, a group of dust rhinos knocked on the ground and rumbled over.

They wanted to walk up the stone bridge, but they were sent away by the mountain god, and these monsters were not able to take the turn of the buffalo to clean up.

......

Standing on the star-picking tower, Yu Sheng also saw the vision of a flock of birds transiting, and his heart became anxious.

Most of the city lords in the Eastern Wilderness who are close to the Dongshan Mountain Range have come to the Star Picking Tower in the past few days, but the god and witch who presided over the alliance and a few city lords who supported him have not arrived.

The city lord asked Yu Sheng to inquire with Si Wu, and according to Si Wu, Shen Wu temporarily turned east to inquire about the gluttonous movements.

Since this is the case, there is no reason to urge for the rest of his life, so he can only patiently deal with the guests of the Star Picking Tower.
