"This is Lu Cai's family, and their family is a pig raiser." Ani pointed to the house in front of him.

Obviously, the Lu family was much richer than Nie Lao and Zhang Nong. His family's house is a wooden structure, with two floors, and it looks like it is not inferior to the houses of some small traders in Yannan City.

After Zhang Nong's wheat field was burned, the village chief felt that the matter should not be underestimated. So I went to the Blazing Yuan Sect to ask for help, and the people of the Blazing Yuan Sect recommended that we go to the Qianxun Pagoda in Yancheng to issue such a mission, so that you immortal masters with great powers can come to help. As a result, the village chief and I had just returned from Yancheng when this third incident happened. Ah Ni explained.

"I remember this very well. That night, I came back from a tiring day with the village chief, and I fell asleep as soon as I got back to my house. As he spoke, Ah Ni pointed to a small earthen house next to the Lu family, "That's my house." At night, I was suddenly woken up by the Lu family's pigs. ”

"As soon as I got out of bed, I saw a pig breaking the wooden door of my house and was about to rush in. I wondered, what's going on? Could it be that the door of the Lu family's pigsty was not closed, allowing the pigs to run out in the middle of the night? Then I heard someone outside shouting, 'There's a fire!' It's a fire again! ’”

"When I came out of my mud house, I happened to see a fire in the pigsty of the Lu family, and the pigs were running outside the pigsty, and the villagers rushed over to put out the fire with shouts. I also picked up the bucket and went to the well to fetch water and went over to help. Everyone poured water into the pigsty to extinguish the fire. ”

"At that moment, a reddish shadow burst out of the flames, and it moved very fast, like a rolling fireball, and rolled out of the pigsty, and then suddenly leaped into the air and jumped into the nearby forest. But as soon as it entered the forest, it disappeared, and the flames on its body were gone, and its shadow was no longer visible in the forest, and there was no fire there. ”

"Many villagers have seen it, and they are sure that it is the fire beast that has not been found, it has been lingering near Qiyu Village, and it will come in and attack people from time to time."

Later, the fire in the pigsty was extinguished, and everyone went in to try to save the pigs. It turned out that the pigs that did not escape from the pen were burned alive. The most terrifying thing is that there is a domestic pig whose head is about to be dropped by something, and it is drenched in blood, which scares the person to death! ”

When the burned wood and pig carcasses in the pigsty were removed, they found the charred footprints with a strange smell underneath the wreckage. At that time, the village chief couldn't control everyone anymore, and all the villagers gathered around to see what was going on. To everyone's surprise, those footprints were the same as the footprints in Zhang Nong's wheat field, which were human footprints! ”

"Everyone made a comparison and found that it was stepped on by a person barefoot! Immortal Master, don't you think this is strange? If it's a burning wolf or a burning bear or something, how can it have human feet? Have you ever seen a monster like this? It's all on fire, and maybe it's a person! Ah Ni's expression was a little frightened, as if he was recalling the situation of that night.

"Didn't that quest card say that this fire beast can eat people? But when you say that, nothing like this happened? Yi Shuihan found the problem.

"Oh, that, that was deliberately written by me and the village chief, to make the immortal masters aware of the seriousness of the matter...... Hey, no matter how much, please help us pray for rain in the village! Ah Ni shook his head, bent over, and said wistfully.

"Since you found out that it was a humanoid monster, haven't you ever suspected the Blazing Yuan Sect?" Gao Zhen asked suddenly.

"Ouch, Master Immortal, you can't talk nonsense! If it weren't for the help of the Blazing Yuan Sect all along, where would we be able to pray for rain to be like this. I heard the old village chief say that it will not rain several times a year in our Pray Rain Village, and when the village was first built, everyone had no water to drink every day. Later, it was the disciples of the Blazing Yuan Sect who came over and dug a lot of wells for us, so that we were able to solve this problem of water shortage. Even the lake behind the wheat field was brought over by the Blazing Yuan Sect. ”

"Our Prayer Rain Village is sometimes attacked by demon cultists, if it weren't for the protection of the Blazing Yuan Sect, we would have finished the game a long time ago! The people in the village are very grateful to the Blazing Yuan Sect, how dare they doubt them! As he spoke, he turned around and bowed to a place in the center of the village.

Gao Zhen looked in that direction, there was a huge well, and every villager who went to fetch water had to bow down to the huge well before starting to fetch water. It should be the first well that the Blazing Yuan Sect drilled for the Prayer Rain Village, and everyone saluted to that well, showing their respect for the Blazing Yuan Sect.

Gao Zhen nodded, expressing understanding, and turned around to find that Lai Ruoxue had run into the burned pigsty and rummaged through.

"Eh, eh! What a man, you! What for? A man chased out, holding a stick in his hand, and yelled at Lai Ruoxue.

The man was dressed in a coarse linen robe, short and slender, with a white cloth wrapped around his forehead, and his skin was dark. Gao Zhen saw him running out of Lu Caifa's house, but he was dressed simply, and his temperament was so irritable, judging that he should not be the head of the Lu family.

"Who's that?" Gao Zuo decided to check with Ah Ni.

"Oh, that's the new servant of the Lu family. After the pigsty was burned down, there were not many pigs left in the Lu family, so Lu Caifa and his wife recently went out of the village to borrow money from relatives, and the affairs of the family were handed over to this domestic servant. As for what his name is, I don't know. Ah Ni looked at it and said.

"The old lady is an immortal master from Yancheng, who caught the strange beast of fire for you! How? Is there a problem? Lai Ruoxue actually raised her foot, kicked the buttocks of a domestic pig in the pigsty, and said with her chin back.

"Uh...... This one...... But this pigsty ......" the servant heard her say this, and did not know how to answer. Suddenly, he felt someone tap him on the shoulder from behind.

He turned around and saw an immortal cultivator in a plain white robe, but with a dark black shield and a long sword hanging from his shoulders and waist, smiling at him.

"Let her check, it's fine. Cooperate with our work. Gao Zhen said with a smile.

"Oh...... All right! Immortal masters, get busy! So saying, the servant put away the stick in his hand, and let them come to the vicinity of the pigsty. He touched the shoulder he had just been patted on, and felt an itch there, what was going on? He scratched blankly.

The pigsty had been almost completely burned down and was now cut with a new fence, with the three remaining pigs on the left and the right in their original burned appearance.

Lai Ruoxue turned over from the left, pointed to a footprint on the ground and said, "That's it!" ”

It was the first time for her and Yi Shuihan to see this kind of footprint, and they immediately squatted down and examined them carefully. But after a glance, he was sure that the footprints were exactly the same as those he had seen in the forest. Although the smell of blood here was much more than the stench of the pigsty, he could still make it out vaguely.

"Mud! Mud! At this moment, someone suddenly ran from the direction of the village gate, and kept calling Ah Ni's name.

"What's wrong? What's wrong? Ah Ni saw that this person was the gatekeeper at the entrance of the village, and he had a bad premonition in his heart.

"Just now, just now, Nie Lao took his daughter out of the village. He insisted that he would go to Yancheng to find a doctor to treat his daughter's burns. However, his daughter was burned like that, and she limped when she walked, how could she go to Yancheng? I persuaded him to borrow a carriage from the village chief, and we discussed it and then helped him send his daughter over. But he refused to do so, and insisted on taking his daughter out of the village. He seems to be in a very bad mood, and I can't stop him! The man gasped.

"Maybe the immortal masters came to investigate today and stimulated him! I hurried to the village chief to get the carriage out! Ah Ni said anxiously.

"Not good!" He said in a deep voice, "The Fire Beast is about to appear!" ”

After speaking, he pulled out the Qingmo Sword and ran in the direction of the village gate, Yi Shuihan and Lai Ruoxue behind him glanced at each other, and also followed him out.
