The old man glanced at a few people suspiciously, and only after a long time did he say: "The monster is in the Huaikong Valley in front, this ...... I'd advise you not to go, that youkai aren't ......"

Che Bifan waved his hand to interrupt the old man's words, and said with a smile: "Thank you, old man, don't worry, we will definitely subdue that monster." ”

After saying that, he turned around and glanced at Zhang Tianduo and the others, and hurried on the road.

"Huaikong Valley? Isn't that a valley just a few days away from the town of Lewen? How can you make trouble with youkai? We passed by there three months ago, but there was nothing. Zhang Tianduo wondered.

Han Jinyun said: "It must be these people who spread falsehoods, maybe it's just a person who pretends to be a god." ”

Che Bifan couldn't figure out how Huaikong Valley could make trouble with monsters, he said: "Anyway, we'll know when we go, Tianduo, you don't have the skills now, you have to be careful when you arrive." ”

Three days later, the four of them finally came to a barren mountain near Huaikong Valley.

Che Bifan pointed to the top of the mountain and said: "After crossing this mountain, we will reach Huaikong Valley, let's be careful, the cottages of the bandits are empty along the way, I'm afraid the situation is worse than we think." ”

As he spoke, he said to Han Jinyun and Fang Long: "Jinyun and Longjian, you two protect the heavens." ”

The two agreed, protected Zhang Tianduo on the left and right, followed Che Bifan, and stepped into the barren mountain.

Being protected like a baby, Zhang Tianduo always felt that it was not a taste, but now that he has lost all his skills, no matter how awkward he is, he will not dare to act rashly.

After walking for half an hour, Fang Longjian suddenly said, "What kind of taste?" It stinks. ”

The three of them raised their noses and smelled it, there was indeed a rancid smell, Zhang Tianduo said: "It smells like a rotting corpse, and it's still human." ”

After all, he had been in Yizhuang for a few days, and when he smelled it, he knew that it was the stench of dead corpses.

Che Bifan asked, "From which direction did it come from?" ”

Zhang Tianduo and Fang Longjian raised their fingers at the left woods almost at the same time: "Over there." ”

Passing through a grove of low trees and crossing two hillsides, the four of them had just poked their heads out and saw several corpses lying on the mountain road not far away.

When I got closer, several corpses were already broken and unrecognizable, and countless mosquitoes and flies were flying and crawling on the flesh and blood of the corpses, and it seemed that they had been dead for several days.

Han Jinyun suddenly exclaimed, "This ...... This is the people of Qijia Village! ”

Che Bifan was surprised: "People from Qijia Village? Are you sure? ”

"It can't be wrong, you see, this kind of belt is only available to people in Qijia Village." Han Jinyun pointed to the belt on the corpse that had turned black due to the blood coagulation.

Zhang Tianduo lowered his face and said: "This kind of thumb-thick belt is indeed only used by people in Qijia Village, strange, how could they die here?" What killed them? ”

Che Bifan looked around, and after seeing that there was no other discovery, he said in a deep voice: "Judging from the wounds of the corpses, it must be a very fierce thing that killed them, could it be that the old patriarch caught up with the people of Qijia Village?" Killed them? ”

Han Jinyun questioned: "Senior, if the old patriarch killed them, it stands to reason that they should turn into corpse demons, but these dead corpses have no signs of corpse transformation at all, and if you look at these wounds, this is like being smashed by something, what kind of corpse evil will attack people like this?" ”

Fang Long saw that he had lost his smile since he saw the tragic situation of those dead bodies, and his face was also white and blue, it seemed that the scene in front of him had caused him a lot of irritation.

After standing for a while, Che Bifan gathered his mind and said in a deep voice: "Let's go, let's take a look at the front." ”

The four of them walked less than 500 meters, and saw a few miserable dead bodies, there were women and children in the dead bodies, the corpses could not be rotten anymore, a foul smell hit, Fang Long couldn't help it anymore, he lay under a tree, and vomited heavily.

Even people like Che Bifan, Zhang Tianduo and Han Jinyun who have seen bloody scenes can't help frowning.

"Look, what is this?" Fang Longjian, who was vomiting, suddenly shouted.

The three of them hurriedly ran over, and when they saw that there were pairs of neat and large footprints on the ramp behind the grass.

Che Bifan stepped forward and compared it with his palm, and couldn't help but gasp: "What the hell is this?" Why is the ball of the foot so big? ”

Based on the comparison, it can be seen that the thing that left these huge footprints is at least a three-meter-tall behemoth, is it really a monster?

The faces of the three of them are getting more and more ugly, if it is really a monster, I am afraid that the situation of these people is also very bad.

In the midst of consternation, a soft sound suddenly sounded in the woods beside him.

The sound was very subtle, almost unrecognizable in this kind of deep mountain and old forest, even Che Bifan, Han Jinyun and Zhang Tianduo couldn't hear it, but Fang Long saw the difference, his five senses were very keen, no matter what movement was mixed around, he could distinguish different sounds from it.

"Someone!" With a broken drink, Fang Longjian took the lead in rushing towards the sound.

Che Bifan reacted very quickly, turned around and shouted, "Enter the clouds, protect the heavens!" He also ran along.

"What do you do sneaky? I still want to run! Fang Longjian's voice came from the grass, and before the three of them approached, he heard one of them roar angrily: "Let go of me!" ”

A sound of fighting came from the grass, and Che Bifan was hesitating to rush in to help, when he saw a figure flying out of the grass.

With a "snap", the figure fell to the ground, turned over, and suddenly rushed towards Zhang Tian.

didn't have time to see the appearance of the person who came, Han Jinyun dodged in front of Zhang Tianduo, flipped his palms, and used a move of "no wind and waves" to overturn the person.

The man's back slammed into the trunk of a tree, and with a muffled thud he fell to the ground, and then he did not move.

Fang Long saw that he came out of the grass, still holding a machete in his hand, and said, "This person is not fierce, he will cut when he sees me raise his knife, what about others?" ”

"I've been subdued, you're not hurt, are you?" Han Jinyun pointed at the man.

"It's okay, who the hell is he? How could you want to kill me? Fang Long was very puzzled, he had no grievances with that person, why did he have to fight with him as soon as he met?

Han Jinyun walked over and kicked the man, and when he saw that the man didn't move, he leaned over and turned the man over.

"Hey, this ...... This man I know, a man who is called fire...... What's the fire? ”

Zhang Tianduo stepped forward to look at it and said, "Huozi! ”

"Yes, it's Huozi, wake him up and ask him what happened." Che Bifan also recognized Huozi.

Han Jinyun stretched out his hand and pinched the fire, and after a while, he heard the sound of the fire and woke up.

As soon as he opened his eyes and saw several people standing in front of him, Huozi was like a frightened lamb, crawling backwards, and shouting, "Don't ...... Don't come here......"

"Huozi, don't be afraid, it's us, I'm Zhang Tianduo."

Huozi heard Zhang Tianduo's voice, his body shook suddenly, turned his head to see, he was stunned for a while, and suddenly rushed forward, hugged Zhang Tianduo, and cried loudly.

Che Bifan and Han Jinyun glanced at each other, and they both saw a look of surprise in each other's eyes, although they didn't know Huozi, but when they got along and worked together, the villagers of Qijia Village respected him very much, saying that he was a man who stood up to the sky and the earth, and he was the best player in the village.

"Huozi, don't cry, tell me what happened? What about the villagers? What about Qingqing? Han Jinyun was most concerned about Qi Qingqing's safety.

Huozi cried for a while, then wiped his tears and asked, "Are your things done?" ”

"Yes, we're done with our business, and we're about to go back to Lewen Town."

Han Jinyun said a little impatiently: "Leave us alone for now, what's the matter with you?" What struck you? What about Qingqing? ”

"It's a long story, Qingqing, she's fine, you come with me."

said that he was going with him, but Huozi was like a frightened mouse along the way, hiding and looking around, looking like he would be attacked at any time.

Several people looked at it, and their hearts became more and more puzzled, it seems that it is not simple to scare a person like Huozi like this.

Crossing a knee-high stream, Huozi led the people to a cave, and before they could speak, a cry came from inside and asked, "Who?" ”

His voice was full of vigilance, and Huozi said: "Qingqing, it's me, you come out quickly and see who I brought." ”

As soon as he heard that it was Qi Qingqing inside, Han Jinyun's eyes lit up, and his body involuntarily took a few steps forward, hoping to see Qi Qingqing earlier.

Qi Qingqing's voice of surprise came from inside, and everyone waited for a while, and then saw Qi Qingqing walking out of it in rags.

"It's you?!" Qi Qingqing looked at the three of them in disbelief, unable to come back to her senses for a long time.

Han Jinyun couldn't help but take a step forward and asked, "Miss Qingqing, are you okay?" ”

Qi Qingqing woke up like a dream, suddenly covered her eyes, and cried: "Big ...... Everyone...... All dead...... I'm ...... I'm so scared ......."

If it weren't for someone else, Han Jinyun couldn't wait to hug Qi Qingqing and comfort her softly, he suppressed the impulse in his heart and asked, "What happened?" How did you end up in this field? ”

Qi Qingqing only cared about crying, and her words couldn't be said clearly, so in desperation, everyone had to set their eyes on Huozi.

Huozi sighed helplessly, pointed to the cave and said, "Let's go to the cave and talk about it." ”

It is a small cave seven or eight meters deep, full of pebbles, and the cave is covered with moss, and it is very damp, and people will feel uncomfortable if they stay in it for less than a moment.

It was very dark in the cave, but the two of them didn't dare to light a bonfire, so they dared to light a fire when Zhang Tianduo and the three of them came.

As soon as he sat down, Huozi asked with a flushed face, "Is there a ...... Is there anything to eat? ”

Che Bifan was stunned, hurriedly took off the burden behind him, spread it out and took out the dry food, handed it to the two of them, and said, "Eat." ”

The two of them were really hungry, and they took the meatloaf handed over by Che Bifan and devoured it.
