XXVIII. Search
In the face of the old village chief's silence, Li Hou didn't have any thoughts of pursuing more, but nodded his head silently, as if he understood and decided something, and left the old village chief's house without saying a word in front of more than a dozen people.
The legs continued to rise and fall, and the seemingly ordinary running action was no longer ordinary under the support of the true qi, and the magic decision that imitated the beast's movements in the wonderful beast control method was unleashed under the omission of the mantra or even unconsciously, Li Hou's figure suddenly turned into a cheetah running on the grassland, and the whole person turned into a whirlwind and rushed to attack.
It's just that in just half a minute, the figure of Huang Dashuang, who was running wildly, appeared in his sight, and the figure of Huang Dashuang, who had left first, with a different sense of silence than usual, was like a volcano that had been silent for a long time, and only the last point of spark would fully erupt.
"Brother Huang, you want to go and search and rescue the children alone, right?" Taking the lead in front of Huang Dashuang, Li Hou, who had consumed a large amount of true qi, asked breathlessly.
Huang Dashuang just nodded at this, and didn't ask when Li Hou came back or who he learned about what happened, leaving only a firm meaning in his empty eyes.
"Then I'll go with you too!" Li Hou said decisively.
And after not getting the support of everyone in the village, Huang Dashuang, who felt greatly disappointed, suddenly lit up again in his eyes at this time, and his dry lips trembled slightly: "Brother Hou, are you true?" ”
"Of course! No matter how I say it, I'm the godfather of the tiger egg, how could I leave the tiger egg and ignore it! Li Hou patted Huang Dashuang's right shoulder and swore frankly to Huang Dashuang.
On the one hand, Li Hou has the responsibility of being entrusted by Immortal Emperor Yi Fei to take care of his son Lin Lan, but on the other hand, Li Hou really loves Lin Lan, a quirky bear child, and he has been dealing with children in the commissary all year round, so naturally he will not let a few children be kidnapped by wild beasts and make them be treated as a meal on a plate.
However, Li Hou had a lot of doubts in his heart, although the existence of this kind of thing is not a frequent occurrence of beast attacks, but it is also a normal thing, although the demon beast already has the power different from ordinary beasts, but after all, it is still no match for the wild instinct, leading a group of gray wolf demons to attack the nearby village to eat human flesh and blood.
However, if it is for the sake of food, then the action of the demon beast naturally seems strange, although the people in the village were rescued by the cultivators without much casualties, but that is also the reason why the gray wolf demons did not attack the villagers first at the beginning, but broke into each house and took away the children in the house first, which is really against the normal state of beasts, strange and extraordinary.
The demon beast of the Enlightenment Period, which led the gray wolf demon group, is the first step to jump out of the mundane like the monk of the Condensation Period, and has already given birth to sanity and logical thinking behavior, but even so, the act of leading the crowd to capture the children is still incomprehensible, could it be that the green wolf demon beast still wants to raise a few children, let them recuperate, and reproduce to provide them with a long-term source of food?
That's!
"No matter what, the demon beasts must have a purpose, since they took away the tiger eggs on purpose, then they must not harm them at will, so the children must be safe and sound." Li Hou pondered left and right, and came to the conclusion that the tiger eggs should be safe and sound now.
"That's right, that's what I've always thought, so I suggested that everyone go together to search for the wolves and rescue the children as soon as possible...... Otherwise, maybe the wolves haven't harmed the children yet, and if they take the lead, the cultivators who have no scruples will let them lose their lives first! Huang Dashuang said to Li Hou excitedly, he has naturally seen the posture of a cultivator who has been enshrined in the army and regarded as a foundation by the army, and he is a bastard who doesn't care about the lives of ordinary people at all!
Among what Huang Dashuang has heard and seen, there are countless sergeants who have been persecuted because of all kinds of strange and worthless minor problems.
The two reached a consensus on this, no longer procrastinating, and returned home first, Huang Dashuang took out his hunting bow and hunting knife and immediately headed into the woods at night.
The already sparse moonlight becomes even thinner after passing through the layers of leaves and branches, not only does not play a role in lighting, but also adds a hint of hazy meaning to the woods, ghostly, and with the subtle insects and birds that sound everywhere, it is even more creepy.
"I knew I would have gotten a lantern first, so I wouldn't be able to see anything." Li Hou couldn't help but start to bury his carelessness, why didn't he think that he couldn't see anything in the dark night woods.
In the darkness and haze, Huang Dashuang, who was placed in front of Li Hou, suddenly spoke up and corrected Li Hou's thoughts: "It's right not to bring a lantern, it will make us look very conspicuous in the shadows." ”
"But Brother Hou, you can try a small amount of True Qi in your eyes, although you can't see things as much as during the day, but it will be much better than the current situation where you can't see your five fingers."
Hearing this, Li Hou tapped his jaw to show his understanding, and then began to carefully operate Pei Yuan Gong, which was still not very familiar, according to what he said, and gathered his true qi in his eyes.
The true qi with a little phoenix nirvana breath in the body slowly operated, circulating through the intricate road of the meridians in the human body, gathering into the subtle meridians behind the eyeballs, slightly stimulating the eyes, and suddenly making Li Hou feel that there was a lot in front of him, and the scenery in the night was unobstructed in an instant, and it was only a little worse than the visual distance during the day, but the picture he saw was a strange gray color.
"Sure enough, I saw a lot more clearly." Li Hou nodded secretly, and he knew the magic of true qi again.
Immediately, Li Hou no longer dragged on, and the divine consciousness in his brain came out of his body, although the phoenix breath of the king of birds contained in it was not very powerful, but it was very simple to subdue ordinary mortal birds, coupled with the mystery of the inexplicable beast control method, within the scope of Li Hou's divine consciousness, all the birds that could see and act at night were all controlled, and they all scattered out with an order.
This was the result of Li Hou's discussion with Huang Dashuang in advance, since the people in the village didn't want to venture into the woods to help search, so in order to be able to accurately find the location of the wolves in the wide woods, it was really convenient to use Li Hou's ability to drive birds.
Li Hou and Huang Dashuang carefully walked through the woods, trying to find the wolves by finding clues, while constantly catching every bird that could be active at night, and after a while, more than sixty birds abandoned the idea of foraging at night to find the whereabouts of the wolves for Li Hou.
Originally, even if it was a profound beast control method, when the cultivation was low, it would take a lot of divine consciousness to be able to control one bird and order it to act, and in the later stage of condensation, it would be able to control twenty birds at most, and it was really unthinkable for Li Hou to control the behavior of birds unscrupulously.
However, the phoenix essence in Li Hou's body is inherently suppressive to birds, and controlling birds is an instinctive behavior, and there will not be much consumption at all, so the Imperial Beast Law Decision is only in an auxiliary position at this time, and it does not help much, so the consumption of divine consciousness is nothing to talk about.
However, if Li Hou wanted to control other beasts, or even spirit beasts and monsters, then the divine sense would still be consumed as usual.
About half an hour later, several unknown birds flew back and hovered over the heads of Li Hou and the others, one of which even rested on Li Hou's shoulder.
"It's ...... Mallards? Because it is not possible to distinguish the colors well at night, judging from the appearance and outline alone, Huang Dashuang, who has been in and out of the woods all the year round and has rich hunting experience, also had a hard time judging what kind of bird Li Hou was on his shoulder.
Although the mallard is a diurnal bird, it is rare that it can also see at night, and it is not surprising that it happened to be captured and sent to search by Li Hou's divine sense, but Li Hou's eyes became serious.
"Big brother, I think I've found the whereabouts of Tiger Eggs." Li Hou carefully observed the green finch on his shoulder, and suddenly said to Huang Dashuang in surprise, "This green finch was specially caught by me for the tiger egg to be raised as a pet, and I gave the order to follow the tiger egg, it must have found the bird that was also controlled by me, and learned that I was looking for the tiger egg them, so it followed and returned." ”
"In other words, this mallard must know where Tiger Egg is!"
