Thirty minutes passed quickly, and Ling Feixue opened her eyes again, her eyes were as sharp as those of an eagle falcon, and she was obviously ready to face everything.

Yan Hua and the others had also adjusted themselves to the best state, and after sorting out their respective backpacks one after another, they followed Ling Feixue's footsteps towards the village where the task was issued.

Ling Feixue and the others walked along the road towards the village that had been harassed by the Strange Beasts, and the trees around them were becoming more and more sparse.

It is discovered that this village, which is called Yunxiang Village in the mission description, is completely different from the dilapidated and depressed scene they imagined.

Yunxiang Village sits next to a small stream, surrounded by a wooden fence several meters high, which is neatly clean, and outside the fence is a large area of farmland that has just been cultivated and has not yet had time to be planted.

A small wooden bridge is framed on a stream that flows slowly around the village like a jade belt, connecting the village to the outside.

Because Yan Hua and they came here close to evening, no one entered or exited the wooden gate of the village wall at this time.

It's hard to imagine that this is a village on the northern edge of the southern enclave, harassed by Exotic Beasts.

This village is like a paradise at dusk, everything seems so warm and beautiful.

Although he had emphasized before that there should not be the slightest slack in the process of the mission, standing hundreds of meters outside Yunxiang Village and seeing this scene, even Ling Feixue's eyes softened a little.

Yan Hua and the others maintained the most basic vigilance and walked along the road towards the gate of Yunxiang Village.

But just as they stepped onto the wooden bridge, a breeze blew, bringing not only coolness, but also an unusual smell.

Ling Feixue and Bai Qi's faces were the first to change, and then Yan Hua and Xiong Chao, who had identified the source of this smell, were also horrified!

That's the smell of blood! And this smell of blood came from inside Yunxiang Village!

"Really?" A bad idea suddenly came to everyone's minds, and this idea was ruthlessly confirmed as everyone entered the village!

Blood, wreckage, severed limbs, and internal organs covered the open space inside the village gates, and the original paradise was completely transformed into a cruel slaughterhouse.

The pungent smell of blood penetrated into the brains of Yan Hua and the others through the nasal cavity, and together with the hellish scene that came to mind, it brought a huge impact to Yan Hua and the others.

"Gross!" Su Xiaoxiao couldn't bear it at first, turned around and spit it out.

Yan Hua and Ling Feixue didn't vomit, but it could be seen from their trembling bodies and pale faces that their hearts were also extremely uncalm at this time.

"Split up! Let's find out if there are any survivors. Ling Feixue suppressed the anger in her heart and ordered, "If something is wrong, immediately warn." ”

Yan Hua and the others, who reacted, ran towards all corners of the village separately under Ling Feixue's instructions, and Su Xiaoxiao had already calmed down at this time and joined the search and rescue ranks.

Ling Feixue stayed where he was to prevent the "murderer" from slipping away from the gate and check the cause of death of those corpses, and at the same time, as a firefighter sitting in the center, once any of Yan Hua and any of them sent a signal for help, Ling Feixue would rush over to support as soon as possible.

Xiangyun Village is not large, and there are only four roads leading from the gate to four different directions, and there are only a dozen or so low wooden houses on the side of each road.

Standing at the gate, Ling Feixue could see the situation in the entire village at a glance, so she didn't have any worries about this kind of rash division of troops.

Yan Hua searched along the outermost road on the left hand side of the gate, and saw that the doors of all the houses along the way were open, like silent beasts with their mouths open, waiting for their prey to fall into the net.

Of course, Yan Hua is not afraid of this, and every time he passes through a room, he has to go in and search it.

But until the end, except for a broken stable, Yan Hua could not find even a drop of blood, let alone a trace of survivors, except for the messy furniture in these houses, which the owners of these houses had experienced panic before the incident.

Even if he had been prepared, as the search progressed gradually, Yan Hua's heart inevitably sank.

"Yunxiang Village may no longer have a living mouth." Yan Hua left the last wooden house, closed the door with his backhand, and walked to the last stable with a heavy heart.

Yan Hua came to the dilapidated stable, and was stunned to find that he had seen it wrong, although the "horse shed" in front of him was dilapidated, but judging from the closed gate, this should also be a dwelling.

And it's a house with a closed door!

"The door of this room is closed, maybe ......" Yan Hua was in high spirits and excitedly stretched out his hand to push towards the door.

"Squeak~" A tooth-aching friction sound sounded, and Yan Hua was disappointed to find that the door was not locked, but just brought on.

"Maybe it was blown by the wind, right?"

Yan Hua was a little disappointed, but since he had found another room, he naturally wanted to go in and have a look.

As soon as he pushed the door open, there was a strong musty smell on his face, Yan Hua had to stand outside the house and look inside, and wait until the smell in the house dissipated a little before going in.

This wooden house was as big and broken as Yan Hua saw outside, there was only one room in the low and cramped wooden house, and the light was also dim.

Yan Hua could only vaguely see a low round table and a small bed in the room by taking advantage of the limited light that came in through the holes in the roof and walls, as well as the obvious improvement of his eyesight after breaking through the limits

"It's just a dilapidated hut." Feeling that the smell in the house should have almost dispersed, Yan Hua walked in.

It's just that when Yan Hua walked into this dilapidated "horse shed", he found something different.

That is, compared with the rooms that Yan Hua searched before, the furnishings in this hut are too neat.

Although this wooden house was so simple that it was mistaken by Yan Hua for a stable before, and there was a strong musty smell after opening the door, there were only two simple pieces of furniture and some daily necessities in the house, but these things were placed in their positions very neatly, without the slightest clutter.

The round table in the center of the room, though worn out and missing a leg, had to be balanced with some stones.

But it was spotlessly clean, and no dust had fallen on the stones that supported it, and on the table was a simple vase with a budding flower in it.

The same was true of the small bed in the corner, which was thin and old, but cleanly cleaned, and neatly stacked on a sheet that was not wrinkled.

"Living in a humble room without giving up on himself, he still maintains his love for life and self-disciplined character." With just the flowers on the table and the neat bed, Yan Hua could conclude that the owner of this room must be a person who loves life.

Thinking that such a person was very likely to be in the pile of corpses outside now, and his body didn't know how many pieces it was divided into, Yan Hua's heart was even more uncomfortable.

Yan Hua had already inspected the room and did not find any breath of a living person, so he had to turn around and leave with disappointment and regret.

"Alas!" Yan Hua sighed, and finally glanced around the burrow, but accidentally found that there seemed to be something abnormal under the bed.

Yan Hua saw a few jars lying at the foot of the bed, and hurriedly stepped forward and lifted the small bed, and infinite surprise suddenly surged in his heart.

"I've found a survivor! It's a little boy! Yan Hua looked directly at the pair of eyes as pure as a frightened fawn under the bed, and his high-pitched voice trembled slightly.

……

The night was already very dark, but the threshing floor in Yunxiang Village was as bright as day.

The blazing flames licked the bodies of the villagers of Yunxiang Village, gradually burning them into a pile of ashes.

Yun Ling stood beside Ling Feixue in a daze, wearing Su Xiaoxiao's changed coat, her clear eyes watching the flames from burning to completely extinguished, without saying a word the whole time, it was so quiet that it was distressing.

Yun Ling was not so silent before, when Yan Hua picked him out from under the bed, Yun Ling had a rather fierce struggle.

It wasn't until Yan Hua said that he had no malicious intentions that Yunling quieted down.

At first, Yan Hua thought that it was his sincerity that moved this child who could barely feel the weight in his hand, but later after handing over Yunling to Ling Feixue, he realized that the other party had just fainted before.

After Ling Feixue and Su Xiaoxiao's careful care, Yunling quickly woke up, and after eating the food in his hand, he said his name - Yunling.

Yunzhong Wind Chime, a very feminine name, Yunling is indeed a girl, after knowing that Yunling turned out to be a girl, Su Xiaoxiao generously lent her coat to Yunling.

It's just that her figure is too thin and thin, and even Su Xiaoxiao, the smallest of the people, wears more than one circle of clothes on Yunling's body.

The fire gradually extinguished, Yun Ling still stood in place and refused to move, Ling Feixue was not reluctant, turned around and walked in front of Yan Hua and the others.

"I've checked the corpses of the villagers, and I've confirmed that the wounds were all from the Strange Beasts." Ling Feixue said to Yan Hua and the others, "So we are now faced with two choices. ”

Yan Hua and the others shifted their gaze to Ling Feixue, their eyes questioning.

"Yunxiang Village was destroyed in the past, and no one survived except Yunling, combined with the wounds on those villagers, only the beast tide would have such an effect."

Ling Feixue first analyzed the culprit of the tragedy in Yunxiang Village, and then continued: "Although Yunxiang Village is on the border of the southern gathering place, it is still within the scope of the security responsibility of the patrol post, but now it has been attacked by a tide of beasts of unknown origin.

The impact of this incident was huge, so our first choice was to return to Cambrian immediately with Yunling and report what happened here. ”

Yun Ling seemed to hear the conversation between Ling Feixue and Yan Hua and the others, and remembered some bad memories, and her weak back trembled imperceptibly.

After hearing this, Yan Hua didn't nod or shake his head, but looked at Ling Feixue and asked, "What about the second choice?" ”

Ling Feixue seemed to have expected Yan Hua to ask this question: "The second option is for us to find out the true source of this beast tide first, and then decide whether to solve the source or retreat depending on the situation."

However, I would like to warn you in advance that the Exotic Beasts that can pose a threat to humans are at least three-star level.

In this beast tide formed by three-star ability beasts, it is difficult for me to fully take care of you. ”

When Yan Hua heard this, he couldn't help but hesitate, although he was the head of the Zero Society, he couldn't joke with the lives of his companions.

"Our original purpose was to fight the Alien Beasts." Just when Yan Hua hesitated, Bai Qi suddenly said, "Now that so many supernatural beasts can appear, they can just be used as the object of our training." ”

Su Xiaoxiao also seemed to have given up her prejudice against Ling Feixue, and said with a sincere gaze: "Teacher Ling, I know that you are thinking about our safety, but I don't want to retreat in disgrace before I even see the shadow of the enemy. ”

Xiong Chao also nodded and said, "Old ...... Teacher...... I'd like to pick the second one too. ”

Seeing Su Xiaoxiao's statement, Yan Hua was moved and at the same time put aside all his worries, and said to Ling Feixue with a smile: "Teacher Ling, this is our first mission, for superpowers, meaningless evasion is the most shameful thing, so please." ”

Ling Feixue looked at the four pairs of determined eyes in front of her, so she had no choice but to nod and say, "Okay, but after discovering the beast tide, all your actions must be under my command." ”

Seeing that Ling Feixue was moved, Yan Hua and the four couldn't help but show a happy look, and even said that they would definitely act according to Ling Feixue's instructions.

Only Yun Ling, who had his back to everyone, was still standing in place, like a lifeless puppet.
