A soldier wearing a scout light coat and a black cloak walked in, and as soon as he entered the door, he immediately came to Ye Shengtian's side, knelt down and said, "Shuai, there is an urgent military situation!"

"Take it!" Ye Shengtian smiled and said in a solemn voice.

As soon as it was time to deal with military affairs, the humorous Ye Shengtian just now disappeared and was replaced by coldness and seriousness.

The soldier presented the official document, Ye Shengtian couldn't help frowning when he saw it, and his eyes turned on the faces of Han Chuang and Daddy Gu.

Han Chuang sensed that something was wrong and asked in a low voice, "What's wrong?"

Ye Shengtian didn't speak, he just handed the official document to Han Chuang, Han Chuang was not a hypocritical person, he knew that if Ye Shengtian showed it to him, it must be because this was something he could see.

He took the official document and looked at it, and only one sentence was written on the whole paper: "The demon beasts of Beishan are rioting, and the target is directly aimed at the nearby villages." If he remembers correctly, Mingxi Village is a village near Beishan.

"Ye Dashuai, please help me arrange two fast horses. ”

"No problem, the Divine Machine Battalion and the Iron Armor will arrive later. ”

"Thank you. ”

The snow-white sheets had been stained red with blood, and had turned a dark red color, like paint, condensed into scars that could not be peeled off separately in any way.

The sheets were bulging, and underneath them was a stretcher, on which was a man, a dead man, whose life, which had ended last night, covered the surface of his body like breath.

The same stretcher, the same corpse and five others, last night, the five people who died in Mingxi Village, all of them were hunters who went up the mountain, and the cause of death was a fatal blow, the wound was on the throat, a thin one, like a sword trace.

Dashan clenched his fists and stood next to the corpse, Xi'er stood beside him, holding his hand with a worried expression, she felt the temperature in her hand like a stone.

Mo Youxuan was inspecting the corpse, his movements were very light and gentle, he lifted the sheet, and re-covered it after just one glance, the five corpses were all the same, nothing special.

Looking at his casual movements, Dashan suddenly felt inexplicably irritable.

"Doctor Mo, how did they die. ”

Mo Youxuan raised his head, looked at the mountain, and said calmly: "I was cut by a sharp weapon and the major artery in my throat was bled to death." ”

"Is that so?" Dashan lowered his head, no one could see his expression clearly, but Gu Xi'er could feel his fists clenching tighter and tighter.

She patted the mountain on the back and said nothing, a wise woman knows when to speak and when to be silent, and now, at this moment, she should be silent.

"Who the hell killed them!" Dashan's voice was like a cold breath popping out of his teeth, with a kind of quick killing aftermath, as if it could penetrate people's hearts.

Mo Youxuan frowned and said, "Not a human?"

"What do you mean!" Dashan raised his head suddenly, his eyes staring at Mo Youxuan, his eyes spewing flames.

If it were someone else, he would have been intimidated, but what kind of person is Mo Youxuan? He used to be a national physician and had experienced many ups and downs, what kind of thing had he not experienced? He had also encountered someone who was several times more fierce than the mountain, so naturally he would not be intimidated like this.

"It's not people who kill them. He said calmly.

"Who's that?" said the mountain coldly.

"Demon beasts. Mo Youxuan highlighted two words in his mouth, then stopped, and continued: "You can take a closer look at their wounds, the surface looks like sword wounds, the world peels off the skin, and the flesh that has been torn open inside is jagged, as far as I know, no weapon can cause such a neat jagged shape, except for the fingernails of demon beasts." ”

"Monster nails?"

"Hmm. Mo Youxuan nodded, "There is a demon beast named Beishan Wolf in Beishan, with sharp claws and teeth, and the wound on their throat matches the claws of Beishan Wolf, but I don't know why, Beishan Wolf didn't eat their corpse." ”

Mo Youxuan held his chin with his hand, revealing a puzzled expression.

This is also the reason why he is not 100% sure, the North Mountain wolf does not often attack humans, and if it does, it may only be for food, then there is no reason not to eat human corpses.

Mo Youxuan didn't understand what was going on, but Dashan and Gu Xi'er both understood, they glanced at each other, and Gu saw the worry in each other's eyes.

"It's for demonstrations. "Big Mountain Road.

"What do you mean?" Mo Youxuan said in confusion.

"It's to demonstrate to Mingxi Village. Dashan sneered: "Sixteen years have passed, and they have finally returned." ”

Half an hour later, all the villagers of Mingxi Village gathered in the ancestral hall, and everyone looked at the mountain on the stage with solemn expressions.

Dashan couldn't help but feel a huge pressure, but in just a moment, Han Chuang's faint figure appeared in his mind, imagining how he would deal with this matter if it was him, and the violently beating heart was finally relieved slightly.

"Folks, I have gathered you here today because there is something I must tell you. Dashan stopped, tears rolling in his eyes, "Uncle Liu, Uncle Wang, Brother Jin, last night was mishap." ”

As soon as these words came out, the audience immediately talked about it.

"Who was it? Who killed them?"

"It must be someone from the village, haven't we been unhappy because of the water source these days?"

"I didn't expect them to kill someone. ”

Dashan frowned, raised his right hand high, and shouted, "Listen to me, everyone. The chatter stopped abruptly, and all eyes were on him.

He breathed a sigh of relief and said calmly, "It's not the people who killed them!"

"Not human?"

"It's not a person, so what's that?"

"Yes, is it a beast in the mountains?"

"Impossible, the snow covers the mountains, how can there be any fierce beasts in the mountains, even if there are, Uncle Liu and the three of them can handle it. ”

Dashan pressed his hands weakly, and the field immediately fell silent.

"You don't have to guess anymore, the murderer who killed them knows very well, it's a demon beast!"

"Demon beast!"

As soon as these words came out, the silence in the audience was incredible, and the voice that originally wanted to refute was swallowed in the throat like this, and no one spoke.

Demon beasts are a taboo in Mingxi Village, older people, who have experienced that nightmare sixteen years ago, will never forget the ferocity of the demon beasts in the mountains, if not-

Everyone's eyes couldn't help but fall on Gu Xi'er, and they saw that Gu Xi'er's color was calm, her brows were slightly furrowed, and her translucent eyes were full of firmness.

Mo Youxuan asked her in a low voice, "Why is everyone looking at you?" ”

Gu Xi'er smiled sadly and said, "Sixteen years ago, my father died fighting against the Beishan Demon Beast. ”

Although it was just a simple sentence, it made Mo Youxuan roughly outline the situation at that time, corpses were all over the field, wailing all over the ground, just when the village was broken, Gu Xi'er's father suddenly stood up and invited the demon king of Beishan to fight.

Yes, Mo Youxuan remembered it, although it was only a vague impression, but he remembered Gu Xi'er's father, a man who could fight the demon king of Beishan alone, and finally lost both.

He suddenly understood the meaning of the eyes that the villagers looked at Gu Xi'er, and suddenly understood the meaning of Gu Xi'er being so strong, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

At this moment, I only heard Dashan say: "Sixteen years ago, Xi'er's father made a sixteen-year oath for the warrior of Mingxi Village, and the demon king of Beishan was also seriously injured, and now sixteen years of time has passed, but Xi'er's father is no more, we can only rely on ourselves, rely on the strength of Mingxi Village to fight against the demon beasts, are you afraid?"

No one answered.

Not a single voice answered.

Who wouldn't be afraid? It was a demon beast, but a demon beast that could easily bring them ruin. But no one dares to put it into words, just as men will never admit their fears.

Dashan smiled, really smiled, he looked at one after another eyes full of fear, but he still smiled.

"No, I'm afraid, just say it. Dashan smiled and said, "Actually, I'm also afraid, who is not afraid of demon beasts?" Dashan looked around, and all those who came into contact with his gaze lowered their heads in shame.

Dashan smiled disappreciatively and continued, "It's not shameful to be afraid of demon beasts, it's shameful not to fight because you're afraid. Wasn't Xi'er's father afraid back then? I can tell you, what Daddy Gu told me, he was also afraid back then, but he was not afraid, if he didn't face it because he was afraid, all he was waiting for was death. ”

"I know that you think that the strength of Mingxi Village is far from that of the demon beasts, and I also know that some people think of escaping, but-" Dashan suddenly sneered: "Mingxi Village is our root, if the root is gone, no matter where they go, life will wither." ”

No one spoke, everyone listened to what Dashan said, whether they thought what Dashan said was right or not, they all listened quietly, as if only by listening could they express their respect.

After a long time, Dashan said: "Mingxi Village is our root, we have to defend our roots, when the demon beast attacks, my mountain will rush first, I need others and me to rush ahead, who willing!"

"Who wants!"

Silence.

"Who wants?"

Finally there was some life, just a little.

"Who wants?"

"Me!"

Finally, there was a first voice, it was a child, a child under the age of sixteen, named Huzi, and his mother was standing next to him, trying to hold him, but after all, she couldn't do it.

Huzi jumped on stage and said loudly: "Brother Dashan, I'm with you!"

"Okay, the first person, who else!" laughed Dashan.

"Me! and me!"

"And me!"

"Count me Wang Dazhu one!"

"And I, Li Er!"

With the first person, there will be a second, and a third, and soon the followers will gather, as if this is not a desperate thing, but a beautiful difference.

There were still some people who were hesitating and hesitating, and at this moment, an old voice spoke: "Dashan, you are right, the people of Mingxi Village, they must guard the root of Mingxi Village, but blood alone can't solve the problem, what specific plan do you have!"

The crowd automatically separated, and out walked out an old man with gray hair, no one in Mingxi Village did not know him, he was the former village chief of Mingxi Village, the current elder Li Baihe, and now he is over eighty years old, no one expected him to appear here today. ”
