Night soon came, and this time many people planned to act together in a collective search for the beast's tracks.

Xiang Zixi finally didn't paint a bunch of ghost talismans on his face tonight, but wore a relatively normal night clothes.

The long hair is combed into a ponytail, which is both smart and handsome.

On the other hand, Ji Yan still looks like a hanger, dressed in a robe, and he is unruly and wrapped with a belt. Peach Blossom Eyes are always half-squinted and half-open, as if they don't care or are nervous.

Ji Yan slowly went downstairs from downstairs, just enough to gather the number of people who went on an expedition tonight.

As soon as Xiang Zixi saw Ji Yan, he immediately complained and said, "You are really good enough for ink, so you are left alone!" Heck, you don't change your clothes, what if you encounter a beast and can't run away? ”

After speaking, Xiang Zixi very generously grabbed a big knife from behind him that he didn't know if he had opened the blade and stuffed it into Ji Yan's hand: "Take self-defense!" ”

"What about you?" Ji Yan helplessly took the long knife in his hand and shook his head helplessly, as the king of killers, does he still use such a clumsy weapon?

Xiang Zixi took out a scimitar from his arms as if showing off, and said triumphantly: "I have this!" This is made for me by Haoxuan himself! ”

Looking at her sweet and happy look, Ji Yan's heart was complicated.

The owner of the Yuelai Inn shouted: "Are you ready?" Ready, we're about to go! ”

"Ready!" Everyone replied in unison, Ji Yan took a closer look, there were really a lot of people who planned to explore, and at a cursory glance, there were almost two dozen people. These people are either well-intentioned and infiltrated into the merchants and led to Zi Xi being fooled, or they are a group of stupid people who don't know whether to live or die!

Ji Yan looked at everyone seriously, convinced that these people were ordinary people who didn't know martial arts, so the uneasiness in his heart became more and more intense.

The other party took great pains to set up such a scam, arousing curiosity to take the bait to Zixi, what is the purpose of it?

So, these two dozen or so people, taking advantage of the night, rushed towards the place where the legend said that the beast would definitely appear tonight.

Ji Yan has been following behind Xiang Zixi, looking at the two dozen people accompanying him from time to time, guessing who is the bait hidden in it.

On the other hand, Xiang Zi Xi was excited, even cheering. As a former female thief, curiosity is a must! How can you be a qualified Jiangyang thief without curiosity! As a result, Xiang Zixi's thief nature was completely stimulated, his eyes dripped, swept the surrounding environment from time to time, deeply engraved the terrain in his mind, and thought of countermeasures for the next retreat.

These are instincts, not deliberate on purpose.

After walking for more than half an hour, he finally came to a small mountain about six miles away from the center of Songqiao Town, where the beast would definitely appear tonight, according to reliable sources.

These two dozen people, all of them are gearing up, the ropes and machetes in their hands are in the palms of their hands, and they are in a state of imminent battle.

Only Ji Yan stood there leisurely, always holding a grass root in his mouth, looking around aimlessly.

The moonlight is bright tonight, and there are almost no stars in the sky, so even at night, each other's expressions can still be faintly seen.

"Boss, are you sure you're here?" A restless merchant's voice trembled slightly.

"It's definitely here! I've asked a lot of people! The innkeeper replied with a vow: "Whatever you say tonight, you must catch this divine beast, so that it can come out and harm people again!" Frightened people are terrified! ”

It is estimated that it was because of this beast's attack on humans that the innkeeper's business plummeted, so he spared no effort to catch the beast, right?

It is said that businessmen are unprofitable and can't afford to be early! What will he do if there is no benefit?

A disdainful smile appeared on the corner of Xiang Zixi's mouth, among these people, he was probably the only one who participated in this purely for fun and his own thief, right? But then again, since I came to this world, I really haven't been a thief for a long time!

At this time, a mountain bag not far away suddenly let out a dull roar!

Ji Yan's eyes, who were still hanging out, instantly flashed with a fine light: It's finally here!

It was too late, and before most of the people could react, a few figures jumped up in the air and rushed towards the crowd below the mountain bag!

"The Divine Beast is here!" I don't know who in the crowd shouted, dropped the machete in his hand, turned around and ran: "Run!" The beast is going to kill! ”

Originally, Xiang Zixi was still grinding his fists and Huo Huo was about to catch the so-called divine beast, but he was startled by that person's shouting, and then took the lead and turned around. Before she could come back to her senses, she saw that twenty of the twenty or so people who came turned around and ran back!

Xiang Zixi couldn't care about scolding the other party's coward, and was suddenly squeezed out of the crowd, watching Ji Yan being squeezed aside by others.

At this time, several figures suddenly burst out on the mountain bag and rushed towards Xiang Zixi in the crowd like arrows!

Ji Yan yelled badly, and wanted to rush in the direction of Zi Xi, but he was blocked by the fleeing crowd, so he could only watch the few people in black rush in the direction of Zi Xi!

"Xiangxiang, be careful!" Ji Yan could only have time to shout out that voice, and those black shadows had already surrounded Xiang Zixi!

At this time, Xiang Zixi was surprisingly calm, and he didn't have to guess to know that he was being played by a monkey!

"You want to kill me? It's not that easy! Xiang Zixi took two sharp steps back, bluffed, and then turned around and ran in the opposite direction.

Those few black shadows reacted extremely quickly, and after being shaken by Xiang Zixi so much, it didn't take much time to rush towards Xiang Zixi again. The thin knife in his hand reflected the moonlight and slashed towards Xiang Zixi's back!

With an almost instinctive premonition of danger, Xiang Zixi's body made a gymnastic pommel horse movement with an extremely unimaginable flexibility and dodged it at once. The scimitar in his hand was pulled out in time and blocked the opponent's second knife fiercely!

It's a pity that Xiang Zixi only has good enough flexibility in his body, but he doesn't know any martial arts, under the full force of the opponent, his knees suddenly weakened, and he knelt on the ground, blocking the residual strength of the knife!

Ji Yan rushed in the direction of Zixi, but before he could rush to her side, he was immediately stopped by others, in the sword light and sword shadow, these people's knife skills were very shrewd, and they did not fight directly with Ji Yan, but just entangled him.

Ji Yan rushed to Xiang Zixi's side in order to hurry up, so there was no way to turn around and fight with the other party.

"Who are you? Why go to all the trouble of setting up such a trap to lure me into it? Xiang Zixi said indifferently: "Is it Princess Ziqing or someone?" ”

"You don't need to know this, you just need to die!" The man in black who was fighting with Xiang Zixi said coldly: "As long as you die, the secret on your body can be sealed forever!" ”

Secret? Could it be that the strange letter? Isn't this Jin Haoxuan's thing? Why, why is this happening?

Xiang Zixi fought hard to open the knife, his hands quickly buckled on his belt, he pulled out a rope, his wrist shook, and suddenly wrapped it around the branch of a nearby big tree, with a slight touch under his feet, his body suddenly rose into the air, and when he turned over and rushed towards the man in black who attacked him, his hands suddenly let go of the rope in his hand, his body bent suddenly, and he made a ten-meter jumping platform with his knees bent and turned in a circle, and suddenly appeared behind the man in black, and grabbed the face towel on the face of the man in black.

Hmm-the face towel was ripped off by Xiang Zixi!

Even if Xiang Zixi doesn't know martial arts, her flexibility and flexibility unique to being a female thief are very good. Stealing the face towel from the other party's face is not a problem for the female thief at all!

But even so, Xiang Zixi still paid a little price, and when he grabbed the other party's scarf, the other party's blade slashed along Xiang Zixi's body dangerously, and a strand of black hair slowly fell to the ground.

Xiang Zixi looked at the broken hair on the ground, and a chill ran down his spine, if it was half a cent cheaper just now, it would probably be his own neck that was cut by that knife!

And at this time, Ji Yan had already taken down the rest of the black-clothed people, and drank coldly: "Who are you?" Why track us? Why kill us! ”

Seeing this, the man in black who had taken off his face towel covered his face, and when he looked back and saw that his people had been taken down, a touch of fear flashed in his eyes, and he said sharply: "Even if we die, we will never say a word!" Brethren, the time has come to be faithful to your Master! ”

Before Ji Yan and Xiang Zixi could react, those people actually gritted their teeth at the same time, their heads were crooked, and a wisp of black blood slowly oozed from the corner of their mouths, and they saw that they were not alive.

Xiang Zixi's face was grim, and he took off the other people's face towels, only to find that these were all unfamiliar faces. But why, why did the other party have to kill himself, and said that as long as he died, that secret would be a secret forever. Is that secret really that important?

Ji Yan walked quickly towards Xiang Zixi, looked carefully up and down, left and right for a long time, and only breathed a sigh of relief after seeing that Xiang Zixi was indeed not injured.

"Ji Yan, did you find out something a long time ago?" Xiang Zixi is not a stupid person, and quickly figured out some joints: "When did you start to suspect?" ”

"It's noon today!" Ji Yan didn't shy away from this question: "Obviously, this is a deliberate walk out of the news, and the goal is to lure you here!" ”

When Xiang Zixi heard this, he suddenly shouted: "Not good! This is a plan to divert the tiger from the mountain! Let's go back! ”
