Seeing Bai Xiaoqiu nodded, Sun Kangle greeted casually: "Find a stool and sit casually, the story is relatively long, and you will be tired of standing and listening." Although he had a smile on his face, his face was extremely pale, and there was a lingering exhaustion and pain between his brows.

After Bai Xiaoqiu and Luo Qi sat down, without waiting for them to ask, Sun Kangle directly told what happened at that time: "Actually, when the village chief asked us to go to Changqing Village to inquire about the news, I didn't take it too seriously. After all, Changqing Village has always been xenophobic, and it is normal to contact us a few months late, so it may not be that something has happened. But Brother Su, who led the team, didn't think so, he said that the rule that Changqing Village and us should contact us every few months had not been broken for more than ten years, and there was no news for such a long time, it was likely that something big had happened. Our village and Changqing Village are so close to each other that it is likely to be affected. Speaking of this, Sun Kangle coughed violently for a while, and then continued: "We also feel the need to take a look at what he said, but I still think it's not a big deal, just go there and take a turn, so I set off directly after a little preparation." But we didn't expect that we had just walked near Changqing Village, and we were in trouble," he coughed again.

Seeing this, Bai Xiaoqiu took him a glass of water, scratched his hair vigorously, and asked, "What did you encounter?" ”

Sun Kangle took a breath and said, "As soon as we walked to the forest outside Changqing Village, we found that something was wrong. Many plants that should have flourished have withered, and that withering process is not something that can occur in a normal state, but more like it is caused by an invasion of ghosts. ”

"And then you were really attacked by the ghosts?" Bai Xiaoqiu asked as he pulled his hair vigorously, he didn't know if he hadn't washed his hair for too long or what, he felt that his hair was itching so much today, as if it was about to fly up from his head.

Sun Kangle nodded: "Soon a few hungry ghosts and a few ghost fires appeared in the forest, we didn't bring soul incense, we could only fight with them, and the battle was a little difficult." Fortunately, these are the lowest-level ghosts, and although they are a little troublesome to deal with, no one has been injured in the battle. ”

Bai Xiaoqiu suddenly asked, "Is there a record of ghosts in this forest before?" ”

Sun Kangle shook his head and said: "Although these ghost things are also a kind of demon beasts, they are not so easy to see, they are generally only haunted in places where those ghost things are rampant, and there has never been a record of ghost things in the forest around us." Otherwise, we wouldn't have forgotten to bring the soul incense," Sun Kangle paused for a moment and said: "And although there are a large number of plants infected by ghost qi in that forest, the area is not large, so it seems that those ghost things should have just appeared not long ago." ”

Bai Xiaoqiu waved his hand to show that he understood, and motioned for Sun Kangle to continue.

"After killing that wave of ghosts, we have realized that things are not as simple as we imagined, and a few people have even mentioned that they are going to give up their mission and go back to the village. This is also normal, like us who are low-ranking hunters with mediocre talents, there is no chance to impact the upper position in this life, and we just want to simply hunt some monsters and earn a little money to retire and send them to the end. Sun Kangle's expression was a little helpless, "But Brother Su rejected the mention, he said that we all have families in Qingtian Village, and if something really happens in Changqing Village, it will affect us, then none of us can escape, it is better to inquire about the news in advance and make more preparations." ”

Sun Kangle seemed to be a little tired when he said this, drank another sip of water, and rested for a while before he continued: "We discussed it for a while, and felt that what he said was also reasonable, so we decided to go to Changqing Village first to have a look, and if there is really any danger, it is not too late to retreat." When we entered the village, it was just afternoon, the whole village was quiet, there were no insects chirping, no sound of livestock activities, and no human beings came out to greet us. There was still fear in his eyes, "At that time, a few of us had the courage to search from house to house, and found that all the creatures in the village seemed to have disappeared out of thin air, and there were no living creatures or corpses. The furnishings in the village are very normal, except for the layer of dust on the surface, no one can imagine that it is an uninhabited deserted village, except for the traces of battle in the mining area in the back mountain. But the traces of that battle are also very strange," as if recalling the situation at that time, Sun Kangle's face hung a trace of doubt, "Those traces are very bad, indicating that at least one side of the battle has very amazing destructive power." However, at the same time, the damaged area was very small, which shows that the two sides of the battle had a huge disparity in strength, and the battle was completely suppressed from the beginning, and there was no chance to expand the battlefield at all. ”

"The strange place is here." Sun Kangle raised his tone a little and continued: "Normally, in a battle like this with a huge disparity in strength, the battlefield will be very bloody, and it is normal for the ground to be covered with blood and stumps. But that battlefield was different, although it was very messy because of the destruction of the battle, there was not even a trace of blood on the ground, let alone any stumps and broken arms, and judging from the various traces on the ground, it was not someone who cleaned the battlefield later."

Bai Xiaoqiu couldn't help frowning, this situation was indeed a bit strange, what happened in Changqing Village seemed more and more confusing.

"And then?" Bai Xiaoqiu then asked.

"When we searched the mining area, it was already a little late, although we didn't find any substantive clues, but we didn't encounter any danger, so Brother Su decided to stay in the village for one night first, and then go out to check again at dawn the next day, and then we retreated immediately regardless of the result. But I didn't expect it," Sun Kangle's voice trembled slightly, "Before this night passes, most of the people in the team won't be able to see the sun the next day." He was silent, adjusted his feelings for a while, and without waiting for Bai Xiaoqiu to open his mouth to comfort, he stated in a deep voice: "That night, we were attacked by more than a dozen hungry ghosts and ghost fires, and the team members who were originally scheduled to take turns keeping vigil fell asleep for some reason, and they didn't get up again when I opened my eyes, I only saw them falling to the ground dripping with blood. At this time, there are only three members of the team who still have combat effectiveness, including me, plus those ghosts sneak attack and grab the first move, we have no power to parry at all, we can only break through with all our strength, and I am the only one who survives in the end" Sun Kangle's voice became lower and lower, and he simply closed his eyes in the end.

Bai Xiaoqiu knew that he had already said everything he needed to say, and he didn't want to talk about it anymore, and the rest could only be analyzed by themselves, so he got up with Rocky, said goodbye, and prepared to leave to find a place to stay.

But as soon as they stood up, Sun Kangle's door was pushed open, and a woman holding a little girl walked in.

The woman was about thirty years old, dressed plainly, and there was a trace of sorrow between her eyebrows, and she was stunned for a moment after seeing Bai Xiaoqiu, and then squeezed out a smile and said, "There are guests at home again." Why don't you finish your meal and leave? She lifted the basket she was carrying.

Sun Kangle said weakly on the bed: "This is my wife and daughter." At the mention of his daughter, his voice was noticeably higher.

Bai Xiaoqiu also responded with a smile: "No, eldest sister, it's late, we still have to find a place to live." ”

The woman didn't keep much, Sun Kangle was injured now in Chuang, and the family was in urgent need of money, so he pinched the little face of his daughter in his arms and said to her: "Xin'er, say goodbye to uncle." ”

The little girl looked pink, chubby and cute, and beckoned to Bai Xiaoqiu in a milky voice: "Goodbye, uncle." ”

"Goodbye Xin'er!" Bai Xiaoqiu leaned over and touched the little girl, "Uncle will bring you something delicious next time!" ”
