Xiao Hei rarely eats, and before Luo Tian forced Xiao Hei to eat pieces of meat, this little thing would rather starve to death than eat any food in Gulin Garden.

Moreover, even if Luo Tian bought the meat of the Northern Regions Snow Goose for it to eat, this little thing would not move after eating at most one bite, you must know that the Northern Regions Snow Goose is called "Tianlong Meat", the meat is juicy and delicious, and the price is high in the market, even many nobles in the Great King City are not willing to buy it for consumption.

However, it is such a stubborn little guy who doesn't like to eat and even ignores deliciousness, but today he showed a hungry expression towards this little demon pill.

Looking at Xiao Hei's eager eyes, Luo Tian was a little hesitant, Xiao Hei was hatched from the egg of the ancient desolate beast, and now the research on the ancient desolate beast on the continent is progressing slowly, and empires like Dashun and Dayou don't know much about the ancient desolate beasts, let alone a small country like Yunshan Country.

Xiao Hei must have great potential, judging from what happened just now, this little guy may be able to become a powerful beast in the future.

But if the wild beast eats the demon pill, will it harm this little guy?

"Give it food, you see it's hungry, and its saliva is about to run down. Blood Sakura muttered.

Luo Tian nodded, stretched out his hand and flicked it, the dark red demon pill was bounced into the air, Xiao Hei immediately flew up, the speed was extremely fast, and he swallowed the demon pill in one gulp.

Xiao Hei, who flew back to the ground, stretched his wings and looked very satisfied, Luo Tian carefully observed for a while, and made sure that Xiao Hei had no problems after eating the demon pill, so he finally put his mind at ease.

"Let's take the children back first, the monster has been eradicated, don't worry. ”

The surrounding villagers were still very frightened, and immediately returned home with their children in a panic after hearing Luo Tian's words.

"Let's go back too, and get some firewood to burn this monster in a moment......"

Just as Luo Tian was speaking, Yin Jiu kept looking at the monster that was killed, and after hearing Luo Tian's voice, he beckoned to Luo Tian.

"What's wrong?" Luo Tian asked curiously.

"This monster ...... It doesn't seem to be the one I've seen. ”

Yin Jiu had seen this kind of monster before, but now he said that the two were different.

"Isn't that the monster you're seeing?" asked Blood Sakura.

"It's this kind of monster, but it's not this, the monster I saw last time is also a woman with an upper body, a snake tail on the lower body, and a wing, but the monster I saw last time has a different face from this, it's completely two faces, and the monster I saw has a black snake tail, and the snake tail in front of me is green. After Yin Jiu finished speaking, he nodded affirmatively.

"According to you, this monster may not be one, but a group, and we have only encountered one of them. ”

Although the combat power of this monster is not very strong, if there is a group of such monsters in ambush nearby, it is a huge threat to the village and the common people.

And Luo Tiantian, who was born in the wealthy family of Jiangmen, has a keen political mind, this place is only fifty miles away from the Great King City, and it can even be said that it is leaning on the edge of the Great King City, and there is actually a group of man-eating monsters so close to the Royal City, is this possible?

Didn't the Wangcheng Forbidden Army never know about the existence of such monsters?

Didn't the village ever report to Wangcheng either?

Then if the village has reported it, and the Wangcheng Forbidden Army also knows about the existence of this group of monsters, then why would they still condone this group of monsters to harm one side, and it sounds like this village has had a legend of monsters eating people for many years, could it be that this kind of monster has been entrenched in the vicinity for so many years but has not been cleaned up?

It seemed to solve a small incident, but more doubts came to Luo Tian's heart.

That night, Luo Tian and Yin Jiu dragged the monster's corpse out of the village and burned it, and came back to rest for the night, and the next day they were woken up by the enthusiasm of the villagers.

"Kids, come and byin!"

The old village chief knelt in front of Luo Tian and the three of them with the children who were tempted last night, and Luo Tian hurriedly stepped forward to help the children up.

"What are you doing here?"

"We have reported to the imperial court many times, but we have not waited for the officials and soldiers to clean up the monsters, we are all desperate, if we hadn't lived here for generations, this village would have been empty long ago, but the villagers still waited for the savior, Engong, you saved the children last night, that is, you saved our village, please accept our worship." ”

After speaking, the old man was about to kneel down again, but Luo Tian and Yin Jiu hurriedly stopped him.

The two sides exchanged polite words for a while before sitting down and talking.

"You're saying that the village once reported this matter to Wang Cheng, but it hasn't been taken seriously, right?" Luo Tian asked.

"But it's not, the first time I reported it, I remember it was thirty years ago, when I was still a young man, there was this kind of monster in the village at that time, and several children were eaten in a row, and then the government also sent people to investigate, I organized a number of villagers to take them into the mountains to search, only found the remaining corpse of the child but did not see the monster, the government still attached great importance to it at that time, and has been investigating. The old village chief recalled.

"Then did the investigation get any results?" asked Luo Tian.

The old village chief shook his head and said: "There is no result, the government said that they want to ask the officials of Wangcheng for help, but there is no news in this way, but then there is less monster infestment, and after a few years, I don't see monsters at all, so I asked everyone to be careful, but I didn't go to the government again." ”

"Oh......" Luo Tian nodded slightly.

"Whose is that abandoned mine in the back?" Yin Jiu asked.

"Oh, it was twenty years ago, there was a gentleman named Wang Changming nearby, and now he has long since died, and the family has also fallen, but at that time he was quite rich, and found some people to survey nearby, saying that he found a vein, and spent a lot of money to buy the vein to mine, at the beginning it was prosperous, many young people in our village went to work, because the wages given there were high, but it was strange to say, after mining for half a month, one night, the foreman suddenly brought people to drive people, saying that the vein was sealed, let everyone go back, everyone was driven back to the village overnight, and when they went again the next day, the vein was blocked by the official army, and looked inside from a distance, many mine carts, the tools were not taken away. ”

The old village chief's words coincided with what Yin Jiu had seen, what made the official army block the ore vein, even if the mining rights were forcibly withdrawn, it would be notified three days in advance, and it was impossible to drive people overnight.

Luo Tian felt more and more that this monster and the abandoned ore vein were not simple, and that behind the simple things was likely to involve a very complex and terrifying conspiracy.

After being polite for a while, the old village chief took the people away, and Luo Tian thought about getting ready and then went to explore the abandoned ore vein.

"Where's Xiao Hei?" Luo Tian remembered at this time that Xiao Hei didn't know where he had gone.

As he was asking, he heard a chirp coming from outside the house, Luo Tian walked to the door and looked up, and saw a black crow landing on the roof, although it looked like a crow, but its feathers were sparse, and its eyes were red, and it was much smaller than an ordinary crow.

"Where did the crow come from, bad luck ......," the fellow raised his broom to beat the crow away.

Unexpectedly, the crow chirped and flew down, and then landed on Luo Tian's shoulder accurately, everyone was stunned, and Luo Tian himself showed a puzzled expression.

The black crow rubbed a few times on Luo Tian's neck affectionately, and it seemed that he was very close to Luo Tian.

Luo Tian took a closer look, and suddenly said in surprise: "It can't be Xiao Hei, right?"

Hearing his name, the black crow flapped its wings excitedly.

This time, Yin Jiu and they were also taken aback, Xiao Hei, who was still a sparrow last night, had grown up so much in just one night, although it still looked bad, but it seemed to be in much better spirits.

"How did you grow so big?" Yin Jiu asked in surprise.

Luo Tian thought for a while and said, "Could it be because of the demon pill yesterday?"

The more I think about it, the more right it is, Xiao Hei wants to eat the demon pill not because of greed, but because the demon pill contains some energy that is of great help to its growth, simply put, it is to give it a tonic.

"I'll just say that the ancient desolate beast can't be a coward, it seems that in the past, I raised it in the wrong way, it looks so bad and it's probably because of malnutrition, it doesn't eat ordinary flesh and blood, but eats something similar to a demon pill!"
