……

It was night, as cool as water, in a col at the southeast foothills, in a remote village.

For the villagers who have lived here for a long time, the sunrise and sunset may not be monotonous. Although the pace of life in the countryside is not as passionate as in the city, it also retains the tranquility and peace of a paradise.

Deep in the mountains and old forests, the ravines are undulating, and the endless mountain forests are overgrown with all kinds of trees and cedar trees, and further down there are dense mountain trees, which are already difficult for humans to set foot in. According to the older generation in the village, there are many wild beasts living there, and some people have recently seen leopards and wild boars.

Except for experienced hunters, who regularly go up the mountain, the average villager doesn't go.

On this day, the night was late, and the howling wind was full of coolness, blowing the half-open windows and making a creaking sound. In rural areas, the work and rest time is generally early, and by the time the moon is halfway out, families have already turned off their lights and are ready to go to bed. The night was quiet, and the occasional dog barking from a distance only briefly broke the silence, and it didn't take long for it to fall silent again.

But tonight, the movement was noticeably more intense than usual. Violent dogs barked one after another, and the sound of people moving and whispering could be heard in the distance.

"Huh? What's going on outside, so noisy? "A young man is lying on the bed and playing with his mobile phone, chatting with his girlfriend who has not seen him for more than a month.

"Brother, are there thieves in the village, Abel and they all seem to have gone out." The door opened, and my sister, who was sleeping next door, ran over.

Zhang Yixi immediately got up and poked his head out through the glass window. Sure enough, there were already people outside, and the people in the village had already been dispatched.

At this moment, a majestic roar suddenly broke the silence of the countryside, like a wolf roaring and a tiger roaring from the deep mountains, and the momentum was very strong.

"Ah, it looks like some beast...... Could it be a leopard? Zhang Liqing pushed her brother's shoulder, her voice trembling a little.

"Probably not, although the older generation said that they had seen leopards in the mountains, but this is an area of human activity, and wild animals generally don't come." The sister's speculation made Zhang Yixi a little suspicious, but if it was just a leopard, there was no need to worry so much, in a village like them living in a mountain col, there was no shortage of shotguns in every household.

"Bang!"

The silence was broken by the sudden sound of a shotgun, and then there was a loud bang like a machine gun, Zhang Yixi shook suddenly, and said in a daze: "Wocao, is it really the leopard that has gone down the mountain, and after such a long gunshot, I'm afraid it will be beaten into a sieve." ”

But the gunfire soon stopped, and then there were fierce shouts, faintly, Zhang Yixi heard a shout from a distance, which seemed to tell everyone to quickly close the doors and windows.

"Clear, quick, close all the doors and windows!" Regardless of the lack of clothes on his body, Zhang Yixi hurriedly jumped up and ran over to close the door with a brisk step.

Every house closed its doors and windows and locked them tightly.

For a long time, there seemed to be no sound.

"Huh? Why is it silent? ”

Zhang Yixi curiously leaned to the window, looked out through the glass panel, and a pitch-black figure suddenly entered Zhang Yixi's field of vision.

More than three meters tall, five meters long, covered in black-brown fur, four strong and powerful claws, a shovel out of a large hole, two fangs exposed in the bloody mouth, pointed, flashing with cold light.

"Hiss-" After seeing the appearance of the beast clearly, Zhang Yixi couldn't help but gasp, a chill surged from the soles of his feet to his heart, and his scalp was a little numb.

What kind of beast is this, although it looks a bit like a leopard, but where in the world is there such a fierce leopard!

"Brother, what did you see?" Zhang Liqing saw her brother's pale face, and she also went up, and was quickly frightened by the appearance of the beast.

"Shh Zhang Yixi was in a cold sweat on his forehead, and quickly covered his sister's mouth to prevent her from making a sound, obediently, this is a terrible thing, there is a big monster in the deep forest...... Zhang Yixi swallowed his saliva, pulled his sister to his side, and then wrapped both of them in a blanket, afraid of being discovered by monsters.

After that, he trembled and picked up the mobile phone next to him, turned on the night mode and filmed.

Big news, maybe it's going to cause a sensation in the world.

Zhang Yixi kept swallowing saliva, and the risk of death put him under heavy pressure, and he only felt that his heart was beating at an unprecedented frequency.

Just when Zhang Yixi was cautiously using his mobile phone to take pictures, he saw a white figure suddenly flashing outside, and between the lightning and fire, he was already running towards the giant beast, it was a woman with a beautiful face, her long hair flying in the air, like a fairy coming to the world, dancing.

Zhang Yixi had seen the woman during the day, and it was said that she had come here for a hike from out of town, and for some reason she had been living in the village for several days.

"That woman is really bold, but it's a pity that she was stupid at this time...... In this case, why is she still running in the direction of the monster! Zhang Yixi had cold sweat on his forehead, and he only felt that this woman's life was going to be lost here.

The summer was already hot, and he was wrapped in a blanket again, and he was almost sweating.

But the next scene made him dumbfounded, only to see the woman suddenly step on a strange step towards the giant beast, as if entering a no-man's land under the nose of the giant beast, the giant beast is extremely flexible, but it can't really attack the woman.

"Could that woman be a legendary martial arts master?" The scene in front of him stunned Zhang Yixi, and his sister also looked at it with a shocked expression.

There are really people in this world who know martial arts!

Outside, Tai Kefei's eyes were smart, and his dark pupils suddenly lit up with a fine light, and then he stretched out his arms, and his white wrists were covered with a layer of metal leather armor, and he shot towards the giant beast with a rainbow of momentum.

Sizzle! The ground slammed, and the ground kicked up dust and cracked through cobweb-like cracks.

With a terrible roar, the beast that resembled a mutated leopard staggered a few steps and fell to the ground with a bang.

"Let's end here, if you don't set off to Tianzhou Island, you won't be able to go to sea in time."

Tai Kefei muttered softly, glanced at the mutated giant beast that collapsed on the ground, the two eyebrows furrowed slightly, and sighed: "This world is really different, there is such a huge beast, fortunately, I have been favored by the Heavenly Dao Monument and have the power to protect myself, but others are not so lucky." ”

With that, she glanced in the direction of the center of the village, and the figure quickly disappeared into the darkness.

There was no word all night, and I waited for a night.

When the dawn sun rose in the east, the people of the village were immersed in a trace of grief.

At the entrance of the village, the huge monster lay on its back beside the stone bridge, its seven orifices flowed blood, its entire head was shattered by a huge force, and its body was already too cold to be cold.

People gathered around the giant monster, far away, and watched with a vague look of fear.

It wasn't until near noon that soldiers from the military division dragged away the monster's corpse, and the people still hadn't recovered from their emotions.

Looking back at Daqing Mountain, which is not far away, a kind of urgency like a dark cloud pressing down on his face came to his face.

In the afternoon of the same day, Zhang Yixi left his hometown with his sister.

His parents worked in a city in the east, and he and his sister, who also attended college and junior high school, were supposed to return to their hometown for a while during the summer vacation. But after what happened last night, he thought, it would be safer to go back early.
