Here you can hear the chirping of birds, you can hear the moaning of insects, you can hear the roar of some beast squeezing out of your throat, but you can't hear human voices, and you can't see any signs of human activity.

"Have all the people moved away?" Meadow asked.

Xia Pingping said: "Go down and have a look." ”

Beilan Village is not large, with more than 20 three-story buildings. The wall on the east side of the village has collapsed, but the other walls are structurally intact. Grass stalks grew between the masonry at the site of the collapse. In the square of the village, there are weeds in the east and west.

"Brother Ping, what do you think?" Meadow asked.

Xia Pingping carefully inspected the humus under the weeds everywhere and said:

"These are all formed by the decomposition of animal feces, and the degree of decomposition is about the same, indicating that there were a large number of wild animals in this village for a short time."

Meadow asked, "Could it be the Black Witch?" ”

Xia Pingping couldn't give an answer with such a clue, he was even more curious about where the people from Beilan Village had gone. But they searched all the small buildings in the village, and there was no sign of recent human activity, and a thick layer of dust fell on the floors and furniture.

Phoenix thinks the villagers have all moved away. But the strange thing is that everyone has a complete range of belongings, especially the clothes in the bedroom cabinets, which are neatly stacked. If you are relocating, there is no reason not to take your daily necessities with you.

Chunfeng even found pieces of food that had turned moldy ash on the cutting board of a family's stove, and mold on kitchen knives. There was an iron pot on the stove that had been melted through the fire. At the time of the incident, the family was cooking, but what happened so that they didn't even have time to extinguish the fire? No obvious signs of a fight were seen inside or outside the house, and no bones of dead people were found in the village.

Eventually, they had to give up on getting to the bottom of it. A long time has passed, and many clues have been erased by time; Second, their purpose is to find witches, not to explore the apocalyptic village shock.

Xia Pingping flew into the air, overlooking the east side of the collapsed wall. This look, he really saw something wrong. In the jungle to the east, there seemed to be two paths trampled out by the beasts, one from the southeast and the other to the northeast. Over time, wild shrubs and weeds have repopulated the areas. It's easy to overlook if you don't look closely.

Xia Pingping greeted and flew into the jungle. On the animal path, it is easy to find broken branches on the ground by pushing away the half-human-high weeds.

Xia Pingping said: "According to the two hunters, they narrowed their range to five kilometers from the village because of the sharp increase in the number of strange beasts in the mountains. But along the way, we didn't see a powerful beast. ”

"It's also worth noting that the hunters said that their village may be within the territory of a powerful beast, so it was rare to see ordinary beasts moving around in the past, but recently, leopards have been moving more around them," Chunfeng said. ”

Phoenix asked, "You mean, the Black Witch has already been here and taken the mighty Beast with her?" ”

Xia Pingping stood under a tree, touched the old wound where the branch was broken, and said, "It's been almost a year." ”

……

In the months that followed, the family search team tracked along the animal path. After leaving Taihang, he came to the outskirts of Kyoto through Daxing, walked nearly 100 kilometers north from the periphery of Kyoto, turned southeast again, and then went all the way south, pointing directly to Haishi. Mei Duo said that Brother Ping was the smartest, and this route was basically in line with his guess.

On the whole, the journey was relatively smooth, but there were some minor troubles. Some sections of the road are occupied by fast-growing herbs and vines, and there are almost no traces of animal paths; There are also large areas of open land such as grasslands, swamps, lakes and tidal flats, and small Gobi Deserts on the way, which create some trouble for the repositioning of the animal road.

They also encountered two waves of robbers on the road, and the family search team was not polite to these bandits who shot without asking questions. One wave was solved by the spring breeze and boo, and the other wave was burned to ashes by the phoenix.

However, when they arrived at Haishi, they found that the beast path was still extending southward. They tracked all the way, passed through Pi, Min, Yi, and Gui, entered the country of Vietnam, and went around in the rainforests of Vietnam, Laos, and Cambodia for half a month. The beast path here has more than doubled, and it seems that many big guys have joined this alien beast army.

Mei Duo asked puzzledly, "What is the Black Witch going to do?" Is she going to conquer Southeast Asia? ”

Phoenix also said: "I thought it was a short-term family search activity, but by accident, it became a poor tour, and I traveled all over eastern Asia." ”

In the past half a year, the food brought by the family search team has long been eaten, and they all rely on hunting to make a living. Xia Pingping is very experienced in using his sense of smell to distinguish poison, and he does not need the spring breeze to test the poison with a drug test after hunting, but it has saved many poisonous beasts from vain death.

After entering the land of Tyran, the Legion of Alien Beasts seems to have become very cautious, and they have always been advancing along the coastline, trying to avoid encounters with the ghosts and spirits in the territory of Tylan.

The spring breeze lamented: "The black witch can really toss, she wants to snare the rare birds and beasts in the world." ”

Xia Pingping said: "It's almost there, the wound of the broken branch is very fresh, and the grass on the dung heap has just sprouted, and it won't take more than a month." ”

Mei Duo said: "That's good, it's finally been from a year to a month." ”

"In the excrement, it looks like human feces." Because the feces are relatively fresh, Xia Pingping keenly discovered the excrement that is different from animal feces.

Meadow said without thinking, "The black witch pulls." ”

Xia Pingping knocked on her head: "She pulled so much alone? I saw 20 places of human excrement in this area. ”

Mei Duo was surprised: "She is now not only domesticating alien beasts, but also domesticating people?" ”

Xia Pingping's guess was that there were many strange beasts, and the black witch coerced a group of people to help take care of the beasts.

When the tracing team arrived in the city of Lon, Malaysia, they lost track of the herd. Chunfeng suggests going to the rubber island on the other side of the Manraka Strait, which is a large island of 470,000 square kilometers, rich in wildlife resources, and there is no shortage of tigers, elephants, rhinoceros and other fierce beasts.

After a few discussions, they decided to rest for a day in Long City, find a generator, and fill up the flight boots and backup power supply. They flew almost all over the city, and they didn't see anyone alive. In fact, they haven't met a single person since they entered Southeast Asia.

"Could it be that everyone here has been arrested by the Ghost King?" Chunfeng guessed.

Several others also felt that there was no other reason to do so, and even shhhh

Xia Pingping asked the dead ghost woman, "What are you nodding?" ”

Hush said earnestly: "Giggle...... Cheap master...... No one can be found. ”

In half a year, Hush has become more spiritual, and she used to rely mainly on tone changes to express her emotions, but now she can give a simple answer. Xia Pingping sighed:

"Although the dead ghost is still mentally retarded, it is not easy for her IQ to grow to this point, and every bit of her progress is watered by the strong love of the spring breeze and the massive blood of the phoenix."

Spring Breeze: "......"

Although the number of suicides in the past six months has decreased, Phoenix has been with boos for a long time, and her sympathy and kindness for the dead ghost woman have become stronger. Therefore, even if she does not commit suicide, she will cut her wrist and make Sio Sio drink two mouthfuls of blood.

Seeing that Phoenix was so good to his maid, Chunfeng wanted to say in his heart that he didn't feel guilty, and even he couldn't deceive himself. After half a year of getting along, his understanding of Phoenix has also deepened. This girl seems to be very arrogant and can see everything, but she is very traditional in her bones. She has a good impression of the spring breeze, otherwise it would be impossible for her to take the initiative to borrow wine to help "sex" that night. But if the prodigal son of the spring breeze really turns back, he can't do it.

They found a generator in a motel. The condition of this hotel is not bad, at least the dust is not too much, and you can live with a little cleaning. After dinner, several people sat on the sofa in the hall to rest. Starling tires stand on the coffee table and peck at bird food earnestly. Since the return of the mother bird, it is no longer a drag brother, and its speech has become soft.

Suddenly, the coffee table shuddered, and the tires jumped along with its bird food.

"Ahh The little broken bird flew to the phoenix's shoulder with a flutter, and its body was close to the phoenix's neck, pretending to tremble, and it almost cried out for a hug.

The spring breeze flashed to the window and shouted "I'll go". Everyone rushed over, and for a moment, the sound of forcibly suppressed screams and sizzling gasps rose and fell in the room. A block to the south, a white-haired giant appeared, taller than two stories. The giant was naked, with only a piece of cloth around his waist. With every step he took, the earth trembled.

Phoenix said: "I thought Liu Jianniang was a giant, in front of him, she was a little bit." ”

Meadow said, "I've never seen anything so tall except for the dragon. ”

Chunfeng hurriedly adjusted the monocle to the telescope function, and said, "It's really a dragon, you take a closer look." ”

Let's take a closer look, isn't it?! This behemoth has a protruding forehead and a nose facing the sky. The white hair on the legs has not faded clean, and a handful of them hang on their legs. The knees are not yet fully straight, and they are a little bent when walking.

"Mom." Mei Duo screamed and hid behind Xia Pingping. Xia Pingping smiled bitterly, in terms of the ability to fight, Miss Meiduo can beat him ten by one, but this girl is not very bold.

Phoenix said, "It must be the lights that attracted him, let's get out of the way." ”

Chunfeng said: "Don't be afraid, it's unrealistic to be tough with him, this guy has rough skin and thick flesh, and the particle beam gun can burn his epidermis at most." But these guys aren't very good at their brains, and we can outwit them and make them retreat. ”

Phoenix asked, "Are you sure?" ”

Chunfeng said: "In Burma, Master and I deceived a few dragons. ”

"How did you cheat?"

Chunfeng said that it only needs to be like this, and with a few words, the phoenix's eyes suddenly lit up, and he wanted to act with Chunfeng.

Mei Duo said that she wanted to protect the team's think tank, Brother Ping, and pulled Xia Pingping straight to the basement.
