Early the next morning, Ji Chen and the others began to arrange according to the plan discussed last night.

The village warriors first went to each house and gathered all the chickens, ducks, cattle and other livestock they kept in captivity into a large courtyard.

This large courtyard is very large, and it was originally an important place in the village, and the village chief gathered all the villagers to announce it together.

Now, together with some villagers, the village warriors have separated the place with a number of lattices of wood, each of which houses the family's livestock.

There are also a few aisles left in the middle for easy feeding.

At first, some villagers still had opinions that their hard-managed livestock would not adapt to the new environment of group living.

In addition, they also have to work with these animals, and the eggs laid can also be sold and exchanged.

So I don't want to put all the animals I have worked so hard to raise into that big yard.

But later, Ji Chen told them that if only this animal stayed, everyone else's would be put into the compound for centralized protection.

Once the monster finds out that only this animal has no one to protect, then it will have a greater chance of coming to this house to make trouble and eat all these animals.

The villagers were scared, and they had to agree.

The village warriors are responsible for patrolling inside the weaving mill and outside the walls, and if they find a monster, they will immediately blow the whistle to warn them.

The three of Ji Chen served as mobile personnel, among which Ji Chen and Guan Zhilan patrolled the roads inside and outside the weaving workshop, and once they found an abnormality, they would also communicate with each other in time to warn others.

Wu Hui guarded outside the compound where the cattle gathered, and once he found a monster, he took it down.

Judging from the fight that day, whether it is Wu Hui, or the combination of Ji Chen and Guan Zhilan, they can not lose this monster.

Gradually, it got dark, and all the village warriors began to get nervous.

With a lantern in one hand and a sword in the other, they looked around, fearing that the monster would suddenly attack and lose their lives.

"Ji Chen, you say, tonight, will the monster come out?" Guan Zhilan asked.

"I don't know, we've only been here for a few days, but it's been committing crimes in the past two days. Could it be that if it doesn't suck blood, it can't live? ”

Guan Zhilan shook her head, she didn't know the origin and habits of this monster. ‘

"Could it really be that this monster appeared because we came?"

Ji Chen smiled: "Don't think about it, when you catch it, everything will be clear." ”

The two of them looked at the moon in the sky, the same as outside, so bright and bright.

It's just that there is a huge difference in the temperature between day and night, and I don't know how these people survived.

After a while, there was no movement in the weaving mill.

There was nothing abnormal in the hall on Wu Hui's side, which made all the people present on the inspection a little slack.

But at this moment, a scream was heard in the distance.

"It's not good, let's go!"

Ji Chen and Guan Zhilan quickly rushed towards that side.

When they arrived at the house, they heard only the crying of a woman inside.

Ji Chen and the others pushed open the door and walked in.

"Ahh

The crying woman hurriedly crawled back, leaned against the wall, and looked at Ji Chen and the two with trembling.

"Don't be afraid, it's us, not a monster." Guan Zhilan comforted.

The two looked at the bed again, and the man lying on the bed at this time had half of his body gone, leaving only a large bite mark.

The blood in the whole man's body was sucked dry, and most of the internal organs were eaten.

Ji Chen frowned and walked over.

This monster didn't just eat animals, it actually started eating people.

Probably because all the animals were guarded, and only the villagers were left unguarded.

"Alas!"

Ji Chen slammed the edge of the bed, leaving a deep fist mark.

Guan Zhilan was on the side, comforting the woman.

Soon, Wu Hui and the village chief arrived, and when they saw this scene, they also felt guilty.

They didn't expect this monster to be so cruel that it even eats people.

"What to do? This monster eats people! The village chief looked at Ji Chen and the others and asked.

Ji Chen looked at the dried corpse, and his heart quickly thought about countermeasures.

He felt that this man's death was partly due to the mistakes of his own strategy.

Therefore, it is necessary to think of a foolproof solution.

But no matter how you think about it, Ji Chen doesn't have a good way. You can't gather all the people together and watch them together.

But immediately, Ji Chen saw that there were some water stains next to the corpse.

He stepped forward to look at it, sniffed it again, and there was a slight fishy smell.

It's the fishy smell of fish, not blood.

Guan Zhilan also stepped forward and sniffed the water stains.

"How can there be water here?" Guan Zhilan asked.

Ji Chen looked around the house again, and there was no water source at all. But in addition to the bedside, there are also some water stains on the window edge of the room that have not completely dried.

Ji Chen walked out of the house, came to the back of the house, and walked around.

"What are you looking for?" Guan Zhilan asked.

"I'm looking for water! The appearance of the water stain next to the bed is very similar to the appearance of the monster's tentacles that day, and the shape of the blood stain of the Qi lady's house is also very similar. ”

"So what?"

"This shows that the monster should have come here from a place where there is water, and as long as we find the source of the water, it is possible to work backwards and find the source of the monster."

Guan Zhilan nodded, feeling that what Ji Chen said made some sense, so she followed and looked for it.

Not long after, not far behind the villager's house, Ji Chen and the two found a well.

At this time, the village chief and Wu Hui also followed.

Ji Chen asked the village chief, "Village chief, do you know where this well leads?" ”

The village chief glanced at the well and shook his head.

"There are many wells in the village, and they may or may not be connected. No one climbed down to see it, and no one knew about it. ”

The village chief went on to say that these wells are many years old, some of them are without water, and some of them are.

During the day, they cover the wells with a stone slab to prevent the water from evaporating.

Wait until the sun goes down in the evening to take down the slate and draw water.

Ji Chen nodded, and then asked again, "Is there a well in the weaving workshop?" ”

"Of course there are, like, there are two wells, but it seems that only one has water, and this has to be asked Huli."

"Okay, let's go back to the weaving mill."

Back at the weaving workshop, Ji Chen asked the village warriors about the inspection, whether any weaver girl had walked out of the door at night, or which door had been opened.

But all the village warriors replied that no one had ever come out of the Weaver Girls, and all the doors had been closed.

Then Ji Chen and the others came to the well, and next to the well, they found water stains again.

So Ji Chen followed the water stains and looked for them all the way.

But in a small flower bed, there was no trace.
