The rain cleared slightly, the wind subsided, and a dawn sun cast through a thin dark cloud in a valley. The valley is full of strange rocks on both sides, and the dog's teeth are intertwined, which is extremely steep.

There is a deep pool in the valley, the radius is about dozens of zhang, and there are a few small black trees standing on the edge of the pool, which are not too high.

The water in the pool gradually calmed down, but a black tree by the pond moved. On the black tree, a thin little hand gently brushed away the leaves, revealing a dirty little face.

The boy looked no more than twelve or thirteen years old, ragged, probably because of long-term malnutrition, his cheeks were deep-set, his jaw was sharpened, and two thick eyebrows like spring silkworms flew obliquely into his sideburns, but his eyes were unusually bright and clear, like the finishing touch on this ordinary little face, which made the whole person vivid at once.

He is also not as tall as his peers, but he is very agile. The boy watched intently for a long time, exhaled softly, and said to himself, "This beast is finally gone!" After a few more moments, he finally jumped down from the tree.

As soon as he fell to the ground, he stumbled in pain because of the ankle he had just sprained during the fight with the wild dogs. He ignored the injury, picked up the bamboo basket and fishing rod hidden behind the tree, and limped out of the valley.

There is a small mountain village seven or eight miles away from the valley, dozens of families, because it is far away from the county seat, it is located in a remote area, and almost every family is poor. On the dilapidated small streets, the villagers chatted on the side of the road in twos and threes, everyone was looking at the dishes, and even the family dogs who seemed to be arrogant on weekdays seemed to be hungry with only half a life left, drooping their heads listlessly.

The boy walked across the street and walked home, "Chen Xiao", a shout made him stop, Chen Xiao turned his head and saw that it was a little fat dun from the same village.

"Wang Chuang", Chen Xiao nodded in response.

The little chubby dun looks like a tiger, with a pair of narrow eyes, and his smile has narrowed into a slit: "Brother Xiao, are you going to the mountains again?"

"Well, I ran into a wild dog, and I got out of it after being entangled for a long time. ”

"Wild dogs, Brother Xiao, you are so good! You can come back if you meet a wild dog!"

"What do you think I can defeat it? It's an adult wild dog, and I climbed a tree to avoid its attack!" Chen Xiao said lightly.

Xiao Chubby Dun didn't care, and he had a posture of slapping himself to the end: "That's also Brother Xiao's power!

This little chubby dun Wang Chuang, has been Chen Xiao's follower since he can remember, although he is one year older than Chen Xiao, he has always looked at Chen Xiao's horse, and he laughed very smoothly. Wang Chuang's family is the only major grain producer in the village, and nine out of ten the men in the village are long-term workers in his family.

Although Chen Xiao is good friends with him, he has always remembered his mother's teachings and never benefited from Wang Chuang, which is one of the reasons why Wang Chuang values Chen Xiao.

Wang Chuang suddenly looked mysterious, leaned close to Chen Xiao's ear, and said flatteringly: "Brother Xiao, do you know? Listen to my father, Chen Da is the master of Wangshan County, and he is coming to us."

Chen Xiao frowned slightly, and then replied pretending to be indifferent: "What is he doing here?"

Wang Chuang said: "I heard that we have a treasure here, and it was divined by the county's god scholars, they came to find the treasure, and I heard that it will be there in three days." ”

Chen smiled and didn't want to stay longer, so he said goodbye to Wang Chuang and returned home full of worries.

This village is called Manniu Village, and Sanwang County is a large county seat more than 80 miles away from here.

Chen Xiao has never been there, from his mother's words, Chen Xiao probably guessed that when he was young, his mother brought him here from Wangshan County. What the specific reason is, Chen Xiao is not clear.

Chen Da of Shanwang County, whose real name is Chen Heyang, is said to be more powerful than the county lord in the county seat, not only has a thousand fields in his family and a thousand waists, but he himself is also a master who has entered the Jingyuan realm. Within a radius of several hundred miles, it is already invincible.

The way of cultivation is to focus on the vitality, and to accept the vitality of heaven and earth to cultivate itself, the great achiever can not be destroyed. In the plane of the Eastern God Continent, cultivators are divided into nine layers, Chen Xiao had heard the villagers talk about the fact that the Jingyuan Realm was already a third-level master, and in the Blue King Empire, to which their village belonged, they could all be regarded as characters with heads and faces.

Chen Xiao is not very interested in this Chen master, because every time he talked about this local figure in front of his mother when he was a child, he could always feel that his mother seemed to be a little unhappy, so since then, the sensible Chen Xiao has not mentioned this person in front of his mother.

"Mother, I'm back. Chen Xiao straightened his clothes and walked into the small courtyard. The courtyard is not large, most of it is planted with vegetables, and there is only a narrow path to enter the room from the courtyard gate.

"It's so late, the food is cold. A mother's voice of concern came from the room. Before Chen Xiao entered the house, a woman came out of the room, about thirty years old, covered in linen and coarse cloth, but her figure was very well-proportioned, her appearance was delicate, she did not apply fat powder, and her soft eyes were full of doting on her son.

She is Chen Xiao's mother, Shuang Qinghua: "What's the matter, Xiao'er, it's so dirty, didn't you catch a fish today?"

Chen Xiao was afraid that his mother would be worried, so he didn't dare to say anything about encountering wild dogs, only said that the wind and rain were too strong, and he didn't come back until now. I hurriedly changed my clothes, picked up a few mouthfuls of food, left the house, and walked to the back of the village.

About two miles behind the village, there is a lonely mountain, covering an area of several hundred acres, with dense woods and overgrown weeds. Chen Xiao went into the woods, walked around for a while, and came to a large mountain rock, where he pushed aside a bunch of weeds and branches, revealing a dark hole.

Chen Xiaomao's waist drilled into the hole, the hole was very narrow, but the round hole was very wide. The rocks on the top of the cave have been excavated by man, and the afternoon sun shines down from it, and you can see the scene inside.

The cave looked like a grocery store, with all sorts of strange things piled up in the corner, a tattered quilt, a few broken bowls, rusty wood knives, a few thick hemp ropes, a bow and arrows made of bamboo and branches, a wooden chair, and a missing leg. The rotten side of the hat, a pile of round stones, the size of a goose egg, and many strange objects that I can't name.

This is what Chen Xiao stumbled upon two years ago when he was collecting firewood, and there were some objects he didn't know at that time.

After fishing and firewood every day, he will come to rest for a while, and then exercise and exercise, although Chen Xiao has no method of cultivation, but he also dreams of becoming a master like Chen Heyang, so that his mother does not have to worry about the daily life and diet of the family every day.

The day he entered the cave two years ago is still fresh in his memory. At that time, there was a skeleton in the cave, which frightened him to his feet and dizziness, and when he came back to his senses, he watched in horror for a long time before he was sure that it was a dead man.

The skeleton sat cross-legged, its skull drooping, its hands in a peculiar position.

Strangely, everything else in the cave was old and rotten, dirty, but the bones of this dead man were unusually white, giving people a more mysterious feeling.

Chen Xiao didn't dare to stay longer, and fled home, and after two or three days, a strong curiosity prompted him to come here again.

He didn't dare to move the skeleton, so he had to cover it with a rag, but fortunately, the skeleton was sitting against the edge of the cave, which did not affect Chen Xiao's movements.

Chen Xiao is here today, not to rest, he has to find a way to kill that wild dog! The family is poor, except for green vegetables and miscellaneous grains, and he can't take the next meal, fishing and chopping wood is the only thing Chen Xiao can do to reduce the burden on his mother.

The valley was discovered by wild dogs, and if you had to watch out for this beast every time you went fishing, the life of the family would be even more difficult in the future.

Chen Xiao pondered for a long time, and had an idea in his heart, he picked up the firewood knife, hemp rope and wooden arrow in the corner, and took a black stone egg in his arms, strange to say, Chen Xiao also accidentally found that this black stone egg is carried on his body, it is not easy to get tired, and it seems to be more labor-saving and time-saving than usual to do physical work, but after a long time, the stone egg will not work, and he needs to change a new piece to bring on his body.

He sharpened and sharpened the wooden arrows with a wood knife, and the top was already very sharp, and then he put a few wooden arrows on the thick hemp rope every three inches, and tightened and tightened, and the wood knife was pinned behind him, and the hole was drilled.

Chen Xiao covered the hole with dead grass and branches, fetched a bundle of firewood, and returned home.

After dinner, Chen Xiao told her mother to go and play with Wang Chuang, took the things hidden in the corner, and went straight to the valley.

When he arrived at the valley mouth, he crept into the valley, and after making sure that there was no danger, he placed a lot of dead grass at the mouth of the valley to prevent wild dogs from silently and suddenly breaking in.

At this time, it was the time of sunset, the valley was silent, and Chen Xiao began to arrange his dog slaughtering array by the faint moonlight.

It took an hour to get done. Chen Xiao cautiously walked out of the valley, and when he arrived home, he said good night to his mother, and lay down in wide clothes.

On the day, Chen Xiao got up early in the morning, finished breakfast, picked up a few pieces of pot, smeared a little ghee, and came to the valley again. He knew the nature of wild dogs, and if he found food to catch here yesterday, he would definitely come back today.

Chen Xiao sprinkled the pot along the mouth of the valley to the valley, until he came to the black tree, used the tree from yesterday with his hands and feet, hid his body, and began to wait quietly.

More than half an hour passed, and just when Chen Xiao began to become more and more anxious, the sound of weeds rubbing came from Taniguchi. "It's coming!" Chen Xiao's heart suddenly hung up.

After a while, I saw Taniguchi walk into a big dog, this big dog has a long mouth and ears, a strong body, a pair of diamond-shaped small eyes shot out two fierce lights, a scarlet tongue, two rows of sharp fangs are an inch long.

Chen Xiao knew that among the beasts, there were many powerful existences, and listening to the people in the county who passed by, some of them were spiritual, and some could even cultivate and change their human form. Wild dogs are only at the bottom of the beast world, so they tend to be suspicious and cautious.

The wild dog's eyes were full of eyes, and when it felt that there was no danger, it began to look for the kind of food it had just eaten, and the aroma of ghee was easily smelled by it, and it stretched out its tongue to roll up the pot on the ground, and swallowed it with a grunt. Every dozen zhang there was a piece of ghee pot, and the wild dog gradually approached the tree.

When the last piece of pot entered his mouth, the wild dog had already entered the circle, and Chen Xiao on the tree gently pulled it in his hand, and the mutation protruded!
