With the Blazing Yuan Mountains in the background, a deep red color is reflected. The needle-like leaves of the trees grow intertwined, cutting the sunlight that shines down into specks of pieces. The black wooden fence forms an oval circle, and the houses in it are randomly located around the dirt roads in the countryside. There are some rice paddies in the east, and the narrow ridges are scattered, because it is winter, and the fields are lonely.

The three of them walked out of the path between the trees and slowly came to the entrance of the village, where a few villagers were chatting, and a wooden sign was hung under the grass hut on the door, which read "Pray for Rain Village".

"Really, we came from afar, and we didn't come out to welcome!" Lai Ruoxue was very dissatisfied, crossed her waist, and stood at the entrance of the village.

"They didn't know we had been taught. Let's go inside. Yi Shuihan patted her, followed behind the high pillow, and walked towards the village.

Gao Zhen twitched his nose and sniffed the air around him. Qiyu Village is very close to Chiyuan Valley, and the air here is also affected, very humid and stuffy. The air was filled with the smell of evaporating water vapor, but the feeling of high scarcity seemed to be hidden beneath the other smells, and people couldn't help but frown.

"Are the three of them from Smoke City?" A villager suddenly ran over and asked the three of them.

The man looked to be very old, about the same as Gao Zhen, with very short hair, dark skin, and a long sweat towel around his neck. He wore very little, only a brown and yellow single coat, and he knew that the four seasons near the Blazing Yuan Valley were hot and humid, and most of the people here were dressed like this.

"I kind of know each other, so I sent someone. Hum! Lai Ruoxue twisted her head to the side.

Seeing that Gao Zhen nodded, the person who came to answer said: "My name is Ah Ni, and the village chief asked me to pick you up, if there is anything, let's talk about it at the village chief." Follow me! ”

After he finished speaking, he grabbed the ends of the sweat towel around his neck with both hands and walked towards a mud house in the center of the village.

When he came to the earthen house, Ah Ni stretched out his hand and pushed open the wooden door made of wood, and turned around to signal them to go in.

Looking at the wooden door, then looking at the surrounding earthen walls, walking into the house, I found that the layout inside was extremely simple, the ground was made of ordinary loess, and there were several wooden tables and wooden chairs. There was a dirty kang by the wall, and an old man stood there with a cane. This is the village chief's room, and Gao Zhen can't help but feel that this rain village seems to be a little poor.

"You guys, were you sent by the Chihiro Tower?" The old man saw that Ah Ni had brought three people in, so he asked. His voice was hoarse and indistinct, as if a thick cloth had been stuffed in his mouth.

"Yes. We took the task you posted. Yi Shuihan said.

"Hehe, how are there three children? The first time Lao Yu went to Yancheng to find someone to do something, so he sent three children to fool Lao Yu? The village chief took a step forward with his crutches, his eyelids drooping, but Gao Zhen still saw disdain in his eyes.

"Yo yo old man, what do you mean by that? How? Why do you look down on them? My wife is also in her early twenties this year, and she said that I am a child? Ahh Lai Ruoxue came up angrily and pointed at the village chief's nose and scolded.

"I didn't expect that there was a shrew." The old village chief waved his hand dissatisfied, turned around slowly, and wanted to sit on the kang behind him.

"Ah Ni, let's send it off, these guys are here to cheat money." The old village chief said to Ah Ni.

"This ...... The village chief, they are from Yancheng, so they will drive them away like this......" Ah Ni tugged at the sweat towel around his neck, not knowing what to do.

"Yancheng is so big, there are many bad guys, send off!" The old village chief lowered his head and waved his hand again.

"The old thing doesn't look down on you, this old lady won't take it yet! This broken village was burned by all demon beasts! Lai Ruoxue's eyes widened, and she turned to leave.

"Eh, don't worry." Gao Zhen suddenly grabbed her, then turned to face the old village chief and said, "Village chief, did this fire beast appear seven days ago?" Then you went to the people of the Blazing Yuan Sect for help, but were rebuffed? ”

"Huh?" The old village chief was stunned for a moment, raised his head, and looked at Ah Ni.

"No, no, no, village chief, I didn't tell them anything." Seeing the village chief looking at him like this, Ah Ni hurriedly shook his head.

"Is there a footprint left in this place that has been attacked by the Fire Beast? The bottom of the footprints is charred black as if it had been burned by fire, and if you come up and smell it, you can still smell a strong smell of blood? Gao Zhen saw that the first temptation had an effect, and hurriedly continued.

"How do you know? Do you know what this fire beast is? The old village chief looked at the young man in front of him. He seemed to be the youngest of the three, but there was a different light in his eyes, and with his experience for so many years, it was not easy for a young man with this kind of light in his eyes.

"Actually, this fire beast ......" Gao Zhen said halfway through, suddenly stopped and glanced at Ah Ni next to him.

The village chief immediately understood what he meant, waved his hand, and motioned for Ah Ni to go out.

Ah Ni nodded, bent down and walked out of the earthen house, closing the door outside.

"Actually, this fire beast escaped from the Blazing Yuan Sect. They may have some special reason not to let this matter get out, so they deliberately asked you to ask us unrelated people to deal with the matter. We are just taking money to do things, and we will keep the content of the mission secret, so that we will not spread the news of the Blazing Yuan Sect. Gao Zhen helped the old village chief analyze.

"No wonder they told me that there are a lot of things to do in the sect recently, and I don't have time to deal with them, so I went to the Chihiro Tower in Yancheng to post a mission. I didn't even know you had such an institution in Smoke City. The old village chief said, touching the white goatee on his chin.

"Village Chief, my companions and I will find a way to solve the matter of this fire beast. But please also help us keep it secret, and don't tell anyone from the Blazing Yuan Sect what I know. Gao Zhen bowed slightly to the old village chief.

"You are a disciple who escaped from the Blazing Yuan Sect?" The old village chief asked suddenly.

"Not really." Hearing this, the head was full of black lines, and the brain circuits of this old man were too strange.

"Okay, for your sake, I'll let you complete this task, and keep it secret for you." The old village chief grabbed the cane in his hand and said.

"Thanks, village chief!" Gao Zhen hugged his fist at the old village chief.

"Call Muddy in." The village chief said.

"Humph!" Lai Ruoxue was closest to the door, but she pursed her mouth and was unwilling to do what the village chief said. Yi Shuihan on the side had to sigh, walked over, opened the wooden door, and called Ah Ni, who was waiting outside, in.

"Ah Ni, these three young immortal masters from Yancheng will be handed over to you, you take them to Nie's hometown first, the Zhang family and the Lu family to have a look." The old village chief said to Ah Ni.

"Okay!" Amud replied. Although he was very young, he was very capable, and the village chief liked him very much.

"Three Immortal Masters, follow me. I'll take you to see a few families that have been attacked by strange beasts. Ah Ni said, leading the three of them outside.

"Brother Pillow, I didn't hear you talk about these things before I came." Waiting out of the village chief's earthen house, Yi Shuihan whispered to ask the high pillow at the end.

"Haha, in fact, that's all my guess, looking at the old guy's appearance, I didn't expect to be blinded to me." Gao Zhen snorted.

"But what if that old fellow betrays you? Are you sure he's not from the Blazing Yuan Sect? Yi Shuihan frowned.

"That old guy isn't, but there must be someone from the Blazing Yuan Sect hiding here, and he will observe us to deal with this matter. Therefore, don't show your flaws later, and don't tell anyone about it in the future. After Gao Zhen finished speaking, he pointed to Lai Ruoxue, who was walking in front, and motioned to Yi Shuihan to bring this to her, asking her to be careful.
