"Aren't we looking for someone? It's not appropriate to waste time in such a place. ”

During the night, several people lit a small candle and sat around the table. Shi Wuqi spread out his hands, frowning and complaining.

The child's mother left them for dinner and told them what had happened in the mountain village. It's very fertile and peaceful, and people have a good time. Until not so long ago, people began to disappear constantly. The people who disappeared were all young men and young men, and it was the labor of the family, and it became a problem for several families to eat.

I thought I had walked far in the mountains and would be back in a few days. There are also relatives and friends who send people to look for them, and there are also those who never return. One day, an unrecognizable skeleton was found in the woods. When I rushed over, there were still some animals gnawing.

"Is there a wolf or a tiger in the mountains?"

"It's hard to say. The tooth marks were like tigers, but they were much more finely broken. A few men leaned over with the fire, and the beast ran away, not looking like a beast of prey. ”

"Forget about subduing demons and eliminating demons, this sounds like a beast's thing, why don't you find more people, it's not your turn to find us, right?"

"Childe, you don't know. The mountain has always been very comfortable, and all the heroes in our village are strong and can fight. We don't think it's necessarily something that is beastly harmful, it's something more unclean. My family went down the mountain with a few people to find helpers, and it has been three or four days, and they haven't come back yet, so I'm really sad......"

"In other words, those bite marks are not necessarily the cause of death," Mu Wan pondered for a moment, "Is the body still there?" ”

"It's been buried a long time ago. Oops, it's scary, my throat and stomach have been cut open, and my body is full of scratches......"

The child did not know whether he heard about his father, or was frightened by his mother's description, and began to cry at the dinner table. She hurriedly picked up the child, shaking and coaxing. These were the words they had spoken to the woman at the dinner table.

Shanhai didn't promise her that she would find out anything, but only said that he would do his best, after all, he wasn't sure what the source of the problem was.

On the second day, he and Ah Luan accompanied the woman to visit the homes of those who had fallen ill. Shi Wuqi and Mu Wan patrolled the surrounding mountains and forests to see if there was anything suspicious.

Although the woman did greet the mountain people, Mu Wan felt that the eyes of those people were still full of inexplicable feeling when they looked at them. It is not hostile, nor friendly, but it is indeed full of rejection of outsiders.

Besides, she didn't really want to walk with the Lord of the Hundred Bones. She still has a grudge against this man. Walking in this long, narrow village, the two of them barely spoke.

"This village ...... I don't really like it. Shi Wuqi said suddenly.

"Really?" She coped.

"Those people, especially men, don't have good faces. Someone with blood on his hands has killed people. ”

Mu Wan turned his head to look at him, and through Miss Qi's face, he didn't look too carefully at what his expression was. She wasn't sure if Shi Wuqi was playing tricks to scare her, or if it was true. She thought he was talking nonsense, but when she thought about it, those people did have a fierce look in their eyes, and they had a fierce anger that she couldn't explain herself.

I thought I had left the scope of the village, but I didn't expect that there was a house in a low-lying area. Compared to the bricks and tiles in the village, it is only covered with dilapidated grass, and even the walls are adobe, which looks like it has been abandoned for a long time. Not far from the door is a meandering stream.

"Three of them are strangers, right?"

A sweet voice came from behind.

The two of them turned their heads in unison, staring at the person who spoke. They had not heard the footsteps before, perhaps muffled by the sound of the water. It was a bright girl with round eyes. Her hair was long, but the top of her head was a little outturned, and I don't know how it was cut.

"Well, yes."

Mu Wan nodded slightly. She looked at it twice, and thought that the girl was very beautiful, sixteen or seventeen years old, and had a pleasant appearance. That clean face was like a flower, growing on a lifeless ruin, with a little life.

and bizarre charm.

…… It's weird. In any case, this is not a face worthy of such a mountain village.

"Do you want to come to the house to sit down? That's it, though it looks a little broken...... I only have some coarse tea at home, but it's still okay to rest. ”

"Girl, you...... It's not like a local. Mu Wan said.

"Why do you have a straight face? Don't scare people. ”

Shi Wuqi reproached like this, and a wave of displeasure came to her heart.

What's the matter with the dog man who can't walk when he sees a beautiful girl? I hope that in terms of integrity, Shi Gongzi can learn more from Rin.

"Oh, I just got married a year ago...... It's been days and my husband hasn't come back yet. I'm alone, even during the day, my heart is hairy, and I haven't had lunch yet, so don't you really come to the cold house to rest? ”

The girl blinked, and her tone was pleading, and anyone would be shaken. But Mu Wan was unmoved, she pulled the hem of Shi Wuren's clothes warningly, and whispered:

"It's not our job to ask from door to door, have you forgotten or something?"

"Why don't you know what to do? The little girl politely begged you, why are you so rude? ”

"Who do you say doesn't know what to do? Cheng, how long you like to sit and how long you sit has nothing to do with me. ”

The girl saw the bad atmosphere and wanted to play a round with some embarrassment, but Mu Wan waved her sleeves and turned away.

"Leave her alone."

When she heard this, she walked faster.

The terrain around the entire mountain village is fairly flat, and dense trees grow. It took her a long time to walk around the village by herself. It wasn't dark yet, and she was going to look deeper into the woods. Hungry, she held her breath in her heart, and she felt irritable after walking for so long on the mountain road without finding anything.

I was so irritable that I had to beat the surname Shi to relieve my anger.

Mu Wan looked at the sky to the west, the mountain blocked most of the light, and some warm light overflowed from the top of the mountain, but there was no temperature. A few homing birds occasionally passed by in the sky, and the squabbling of rabbits could be faintly heard in the grass, and at the end of the day, she found no beasts or monsters. She didn't want anything wrong, and she wanted it to be solved quickly.

A gust of wind came from deep in the woods.

The wind was different, it was cold, like holding an ice cube and scratching it over the skin. She clearly sensed that there was a strong demonic aura in the wind. Even, she is somewhat familiar.

She grabbed the handle of the umbrella and followed the wind farther away.

Someone was standing in a clearing in the woods. A splash of vivid red bursts into view, like an unburned bonfire at dusk.

The road is narrow.

"It's you?!"

The man didn't look back, as if he knew she was behind her.

"It's you again. I still have a job ahead of me, and I don't want to argue with you. ”

The delicate and soft voice is really very familiar, and the black hair is particularly eye-catching in the red clothes. It was getting dark, and the monster walked into the forest without looking back.

"Stop!"

Mu Wan rushed forward and pulled out the umbrella, and the sword qi of the umbrella slashed forward like a flying blade. Several slender trees fell in front of the youkai, blocking his path. But the sword qi obviously penetrated his body, but he was unscathed.

"Where is Yingyue-kun?" She pointed an umbrella at him in one hand and questioned sharply.

He stopped.

“…… You woman, don't know what's wrong. ”

Hearing this familiar statement, Mu Wan felt his temples jump.

"It's you who don't know what to do!"

She stabbed the umbrella straight through, but he grabbed it firmly with one hand, and the tip of the umbrella did not tremble. He turned over and raised his hand, and the golden lines jumped from his sleeve to his palm like a shower of light. Mu Wan's pupils shrank suddenly, knowing that he was going to set fire to it, but he couldn't open the umbrella - the umbrella was clutched to death by him. She didn't know where he was so strong, so she had to temporarily let the umbrella out of her hand and leap behind him in the air.

It was dark, but the fire burned brightly.

She dodged the fire, and when she turned around again, he didn't know when he jumped onto the burning branch. He opened his umbrella and took a closer look.

"At first, I thought it was wrong, and sure enough, all the treasures under this umbrella were pasted."

"Come back!"

"You said you would pay it back, what a big face."

"Who are you?"

"What do you have to do with it?"

He paused word by word.

Suddenly, a white shadow rushed sideways and sped away in front of him.

The umbrella is gone. At the same time, half of his arm disappeared.

Above the scorching firelight, a black-red liquid splashed out and poured onto the ground. It was as if the nourished flame had risen higher, entwining him with the shadow of the tree, which was extremely strange.

Tengu returned to Mu Wan's side and let go of the umbrella in her hands. The half of the slender hand was swallowed by it.

She glanced in disgust at the blood stains on the umbrella and looked up at the man in the firelight. He didn't seem to feel pain, but his face was very ugly, and the shadows on his face showed an indescribable treacherousness in the strange light.

He lifted his severed arm, and the blood no longer spilled. Another pattern spreads out, beyond the confines of the limb, redefining the outline of an arm. Immediately afterward, those muscles and blood-like light streaks burned for a moment, filling the air with a puff of pure black smoke. Soon, an intact hand was restored by him.

The recovery is too fast, where is the average youkai can do.

His voice grew grim.

"Don't say I didn't warn you...... If you still refuse to let you go, don't blame me for being unkind now. ”

He raised his arms, and a fire lit up all around them, holding them firmly here. Mu Wan wanted to ride the tengu to escape from this fire prison first, but he had already seen through his intentions, and the flames surrounding them went straight to the sky, forming a wall of fire, hooking an arc inward, making it clear that he was not going to release people. Tengu bared his teeth at him, but instinctively feared the flames and did not dare to step forward.

Mu Wan was ready to open his umbrella and forcibly rush out. But the blood stains on the handle of the umbrella shone like hot lava at some point. Although the umbrella would not be burned, she could not hold it open.

"Three hundred disciples of the Snow Yan Sect, if one ...... is lost"

His eyes were as red as blood.
