Chapter 118: Murderous Aura

Huangye Town is one of the towns under the jurisdiction of Yushui City. In this town, the main pillar industry is agriculture, and the cultivated land owned by the Xia family in this town accounts for almost half of all the cultivated land in Huangye Town. If a wild beast invades Huangye Town, then the Xia family's manor will inevitably suffer a lot of damage.

The mayor of Huangye Town, who is also a child of the Xia family, is called Xiahou Sheng, and his own strength can probably only exert sixty degrees of martial arts power. However, this person is shrewd and takes care of the Xia family's Huangye Town's property only in an orderly manner, so he is deeply appreciated by several elders of the Xia family. In Huangye Town, Xiahou Sheng has served as the mayor of the town for fourteen years.

This time the beast invaded, so that Xiahou Sheng could not sleep well, and if he didn't drive the beast away, Xiahou Sheng couldn't sleep soundly. In the past few days, the Xia family's manor has suffered a lot of losses, and if it continues like this, I am afraid that this year's harvest will be greatly affected.

"Mayor Mare...... Mayor ......"

In the town office of Huangye Town, the saber on the waist of a black-clothed guard rattled, and the guard quickly ran in from outside, shouting at the mayor at the same time.

"What's the matter? yelling, the beast is attacking again?" Xiahou Sheng was pacing in the hall irritably, and when he heard the guard's hurried shout, he waved his hand impatiently and scolded.

The guard didn't seem to hear half of it, but said excitedly, "No......! Mayor Town, someone from Yushui City is here!"

"What?" Xiahou Sheng's eyes widened, and he took a step forward suddenly, grabbing the broad shoulders of the black-clothed guard, "What did you say? Did the family send someone? Who came, which elder was it? Is it the Great Elder?"

Xiahou Sheng reported the incident of the attack on Huangye Town by wild beasts to the Xia Elders Association three days ago, but there was no response. If there was no more news, Xia Housheng felt that he might be going crazy.

Xiahou Sheng is of medium stature, with slightly drooping cheeks, some red spots on his nose, and a shiny forehead. The weapon used was a pair of Thunder Hammers, but he had neglected to practice martial arts for many years, and he had been obsessed with the position of mayor all these years.

"Mayor, I don't know which elder in the family is, but I saw that there were about a hundred fast horses, and the people on the horses were wearing our Xia family's guard uniforms!" The black-clothed guard's eyes lit up, he bowed slightly, and said in an excited tone, "Mayor Town, let's go out to greet you, the people of the family will be here soon!"

"Yes, yes, yes, hurry up and go out to greet you!" Xia Housheng's eyes lit up, and he said a few words in his mouth, and then straightened his luxurious town mayor's clothes, and ran towards the gate of the town office quickly.

"Dada~"

At least, hundreds of mounts!

Xiahou Sheng's figure flickered, and he stepped out of the main gate, and saw a dusty figure in the distance, and dense figures and horses were approaching and gradually slowing down.

The town government is not in the center of the town, but on the edge of the town! Therefore, the arrival of Xia Yan and the others did not attract the attention of the residents of the town.

"Yes......" Xiahou Sheng frowned.

Xiahou Sheng carefully observed the leader of the leader, but was stunned to find that the leader seemed to be a young man dressed in white, holding a small long sword in his hand.

Now, the weapon Xia Yan uses is still the long sword that Bai Rui gave him. Although there is now a rare ore such as the Heart of Clear Water, it is impossible to find a blacksmith who can use the Heart of Clear Water to craft weapons for a while.

You must know that the hardness of the heart of clear water is dozens of times and 100 times that of ordinary steel, and ordinary blacksmiths simply do not have this ability.

"Why isn't it an elder in the family?" Xia Housheng frowned, confused.

When he arrived at the town office, Xia Yan dismounted and walked towards Xiahou Sheng, and when he saw Xiahou Sheng's clothes, Xia Yan knew that he was the town mayor Xiahou Sheng.

Holding his fists, Xia Yan smiled and said: "I am Xia Yan, the deacon of the Xia family, and I came to clear the beasts by the order of the patriarch, Your Excellency is the mayor of Xiahou Sheng, right?"

Xiahou Sheng was slightly stunned, and then he woke up, hurriedly squeezed out a smile, and said in a welcoming tone: "It turned out to be Deacon Xia Yan, hehe, please come in." Brothers, come with me into the town!

Xia Yan's current position is the deacon of the Xia family.

In fact, speaking of which, Xia Yan is still Xiahou Sheng's junior, but Xiahou Sheng's status in the Xia family is very different from Xia Yan, and the blood relationship between the two is also far apart, so Xia Yan did not speak in the tone of addressing the elders.

"There is labor!" Xia Yan said to Xia Housheng with a smile.

Of course, Xia Yan could see what was hidden in the expression on Xia Hou Sheng's face, and this Xia Hou Sheng saw that Xia Yan was young, and he already had a contempt for it. Although he didn't show it clearly, from his words and deeds, Xia Yan could clearly feel that Xia Housheng didn't respect him very much. If it was an elder of the Xia family who came today, Xiahou Sheng would definitely not be like this.

Speaking of which, Xia Hou Sheng can't be blamed, Xia Yan is too young, and the beast that attacked Huangye Town this time is not an ordinary beast, otherwise the guards left behind in Huangye Town can solve the beast, and there is no need to ask Yushui City for help.

Xia Yan shook his head, a sneer on the corner of his mouth, and didn't say much.

More than 100 people entered the town office, and under Xiahou Sheng's arrangement, everyone hurriedly ate dinner and then went to rest. When the morning dawns, they will go to clear the wild beasts. Of course, if the beasts attack the manor at night, everyone will naturally have to meet them.

Xia Yan called Xia Housheng and a few people from the town to learn about the situation of this attack on the beasts of Huangye Town.

The beasts that attacked Huangye Town this time were probably more than a hundred, including many very ferocious species. One of the most difficult beasts to deal with is the Phantom Wolf, which is incredibly fast, comes and goes like the wind, and is very cunning and cruel. In the past few days, eight guards have been killed or injured because of the Phantom Wolf, but they still haven't been able to kill or catch the Phantom Wolf!

"I don't know, does Deacon Xia Yan have any good way to deal with these beasts?"

In the hall, a person in the town hall squinted at Xia Yan and asked at the same time.

With Xia Yan, there are a total of five people sitting here at this time, except for Xia Housheng, the other three are also working in the town office. However, none of these people are from the Xia family. Among these five people, only Xia Yan is the youngest, and the youngest of the others is over thirty years old.

The person who asked Xia Yan obviously didn't take Xia Yan seriously.

Xia Yan is fifteen years old, just an adult, and he really can't help but be despised by others. At least, before Xia Yan didn't show his strength, most people wouldn't think that Xia Yan was a strong man.

"The best way to solve the problem...... Xia Yan smiled, his eyes flickered, and he pondered for a moment before slowly continuing: "That is, kill or repel these beasts." ”

Xia Yan turned his gaze and saw that the four people, including Xia Housheng, were all frowning together.

Xia Yan knew that these people must have felt that their words were tantamount to saying in vain.

"To the southeast of Huangye Town is a deep mountain called Black Wind Mountain, with vast mountains and forests, and many wild beasts, every few years, there will be wild beast attacks. This time, the beast is also from Black Wind Mountain. Xia Yan didn't wait for the others to speak, shook the hilt of the sword again, and spoke.

"That's right, the beast that attacked Huangye Town this time is the beast in the Black Wind Mountain! The Black Wind Mountain covers an area of hundreds of miles, the terrain is steep, and there are countless beasts in the mountain. The beasts that attacked this time were numerous, and they were all very powerful species. It's very difficult to repel them!" Xia Housheng frowned and glanced at Xia Yan, although he was a little disdainful in his heart, he still said honestly.

Xia Yan nodded, glanced at everyone, slapped his palm, and made a crisp sound: "Everyone!"

"In the past few days, you have also figured out where the beasts are hiding in the surrounding areas of town. Now, you only need to draw out the areas where these beasts are hidden, and then hand them over to me, and I will lead people to repel these beasts!" Xia Yan said, taking out the white paper and brush prepared in advance, "By the way, the location of that phantom wolf must be accurate!"

Being able to kill or repel the Phantom Wolf is the key. As long as the beasts have no leader, they will soon break up and escape.

"What?"

"Huh?"

When several people heard Xia Yan's words, they were all stunned and looked at Xia Yan in surprise.

"Hmph, don't be ashamed!" After a while, the man with the weird yin and yang glanced at Xia Yan and said in a low voice.

Although Xia Yan is the deacon of the Xia family, he really doesn't give Xia Yan much face! In his thoughts, he may feel that even if he offends Xia Yan, Xia Yan has nothing to do with him.

Xia Yan frowned and glanced at this person, but did not speak.

Xiahou Sheng glanced at the yin and yang weird man dissatisfied, and reprimanded: "If you talk nonsense again, you will be reprimanded." Then, he turned his eyes and said to Xia Yan with a smile: "Deacon Xia Yan, don't blame it. That one...... We've mapped the distribution of the beasts, are the deacons really sure they'll be able to repel the beasts?"

In Xia Housheng's heart, he had already regarded Xia Yan as the kind of person who didn't leave a margin for big words. However, Xia Yan was a deacon sent by the head of the Xia family after all, and Xiahou Sheng naturally did not dare to offend Xia Yan blatantly.

"Hey, hairy boy. What you say, we will do, depending on how you end up. Anyway, even if it ends up in a mess, it's none of my business. If the patriarch wants to blame, he can't blame me. Xiahou Sheng said secretly in his heart, looked at Xia Yan with disdain, and still kept a smile on his face.

Xia Yan also ignored it anymore, and said directly: "Okay, time is pressing, you can work hard! As for whether I can repel the beast, I am not completely sure." ”

Pointing to the white paper spread out, Xia Yan's eyes flashed, he took a breath, and said, "You have to draw with all your heart, draw in detail, and the approximate number of beasts, you must explain clearly." If someone gives me the wrong information, don't blame me for being ruthless!"

Suddenly, Xia Yan, who was originally like an ordinary person, became murderous. His eyes swept over Xiahou Sheng and several people, and all of them trembled, and a shocking emotion appeared in their hearts.

"It's a shame that you haven't been arrogant enough to feel that you are the best in the world!" Xia Housheng recovered from the horror, and quietly slandered in his heart, and then said with a smile, "Deacon Xia Yan, let me come first, that phantom wolf, it appeared in the north of the Xia family's manor yesterday!"

As he spoke, Xiahou Sheng picked up the brush and began to draw quickly. Soon, the entire terrain of Yellow Leaf Town appeared on the white paper.
