On the high slope outside the town, the old locust tree with branches and leaves full of red ropes moves with the wind.

The ground is still somewhat loose due to the removal of the stone monument that has sunk deep into the ground.

Therefore, every step taken by the burly Nian Beast would cause this high slope to descend.

This also attracted the attention of the "three kings" in the temple and the townspeople.

"Uhhh

The Nian Beast raised its feet and fell, and a sound similar to gas leakage sounded all around.

"Roar!"

Immediately after, he let out a deep tiger roar, and the sea of dark green trees within a radius of ten miles moved with it.

The little beasts that cowered in their nests and the birds roaming the mountains were obviously full of fear, but they still moved almost instinctively to the location of the young beasts, completely uncontrolled.

The young beast stands behind the old locust tree, and the dark red fur brought by the new skin moves with the wind.

From a distance, it looks like a forest fire from the Nine Ruins Purgatory is burning in the mountains.

With half of his body hidden behind a tree, people looked up and could only see a blood-red beast pupil that looked like a lantern.

The eyes are fierce, full of gluttonous appetite that devours heaven and earth.

One could even hear the beast swallowing its saliva.

It's hungry......

It, can't help it!

"Roar!!

The roar was like thunder, causing the green mountains to tremble.

The beast's majestic body, like a small building, jumped down from the high slope with the momentum of Mount Tai's cover, and swooped down towards the place where the fire was at its peak.

The townspeople only felt the fishy wind blowing on their faces, and their cheeks were like knives, and they were in pain.

Subconsciously his eyes narrowed slightly, and he vaguely saw a blood shadow rushing towards them, smashing into the relatively spacious courtyard behind them.

And at this moment, there is only one person in it, and that is ......

The yellow-robed Taoist who has great kindness to them.

"Dao Chang !!"

Zhang Liusan, who reacted, was in a hurry, and was about to go in with a crutch.

And Zhang Baiqi, who was just behind him, although he was only a junior in the village, but after an afternoon of fermentation, his name change by the "Taoist Chief" had been widely known in the town, and at this time there were already some leaders in the posture.

Only let the townspeople stop the old man, the old and weak women and children hurriedly retreated, and he took the "young and strong" in the town, picked up the bluestone bricks that had just been used as benches, and turned into the courtyard with a light movement.

At this moment, half of the house where the "Taoist Chief" was located had been crushed by the fierce beast.

The hideous and terrifying creature was staring at the blood-red lantern-like pupils of the beast, spewing a corrosive breath from its nose, and the beast's head shook as if searching for a delicacy.

"Come eat me!"

Although his heart was full of fear and his legs couldn't help but tremble, Zhang Baiqi still had the courage to throw the bluestone brick in his hand at the monster.

Immediately after, it was like the floodgate was opened, and countless bluestone bricks smashed towards the beast together, as fast as flying locusts and as dense as mountain rain.

Obviously, the "young and strong" of the town have exhausted their life's strength.

But these stone bricks they threw out were not even an attack to the hungry and red-eyed beast, they were just some raindrops, and they couldn't even produce any sense of slapping.

At the end of the round of throwing, the beast was still lying on its stomach in the ruins searching for "food", without raising its head.

Seeing this situation, Zhang Bai was in a hurry, took a step, and rushed towards the half of the house that had not yet been destroyed.

Although due to long-term labor, his complexion is dark yellow and black, but at this moment, he is wearing gray linen clothes and rushing violently, and he really has a bit of the meaning of "white riding".

In a few breaths, he smashed through the paper-mâché window, rolled and flashed into the house, and was a little dizzy for a while, unable to find the north.

But he still held on to his feet, and staggered to the bedroom.

The next second, he was pulled into the house by a bony hand.

"Bai Qi, why are you here?"

Due to the destruction of the house, the cold wind on all sides rushed into the house at once, blowing the green silk of the yellow-robed Taoist who was already mixed with a lot of white hair.

Zhang Baiqi turned his head, and saw that the man's body trembled slightly, his face was haggard, holding a nine-section scepter, and he stood up strongly.

"The Taoist ......"

The young man was about to speak.

Suddenly realizing something, a chill grew from the soles of his feet, and he rushed straight to the top of his skull.

Obviously, the monster's breath just now was still coming from all directions, and at this moment, ...... Why is there no movement.

He cautiously tugged at the door frame and poked his head out, only to be confronted by a vicious and cold beast pupil.

Looks like I'm hungry......

"Ah......h

Zhang Baiqi covered his mouth, turned his head and was about to carry the "Dao Chief" without saying a word.

But how could the fierce beast obey his wishes, and only pressed the heavy beast feet downward, like half a mountain pouring down.

In the end, it was the yellow-robed Taoist with a slightly trembling body who carried his collar, wiped the claws of the monster, and flashed out dangerously.

"Dao Chief!"

Seeing this, everyone exclaimed in unison, and before they had time to be surprised, the fierce beast standing in the ruins turned its head and stared coldly.

Looking at the "snacks" delivered to the door one by one, it opened its bloody mouth and pulled out an extremely human, hungry and greedy smile.

Spooky and terrifying.

"Let's go!"

At this moment, a clear voice was like the voice of the gods, pulling the "young and strong" out of the terrifying abyss.

Obviously, they wanted to repay part of the favor, but it turned out that it was this slender, thin and thin man who saved them.

"With my true anger ......"

The yellow-robed Taoist had a pale and haggard face, and his voice was resolute but weak: "The creation of heaven and earth ......"

"Ahem!"

He coughed violently a few times, clenched his teeth, his white hair was stirred up by the mountain wind, and his cheeks, neck, and the back of his hands were bruised, as if he was squeezing the last trace of strength out of his bones.

"Lei Gong - help me !!"

The hoarse chanting echoed in the hearts of the crowd.

It will be a scene they will never forget.

The dark clouds in the sky were as black as a curtain, and countless branches of lightning swam among the clouds, and thunder rumbled.

"Boom!"

Suddenly, a purple-black thunder pillar with the thickness of a tree trunk reached the ground from the center of heaven and smashed the monster's back.

"Roar!!

The beast let out an earth-shattering roar that shook people's ears and made their hearts beat violently.

"Ah!!h

It then emitted a shrill sound similar to a baby's cry, echoing in the vast night sky, eerie and terrifying.

After a few breaths, its gaze became more and more resentful: "Whew...... Whew......"

It exhaled a fishy wind, like the fangs of the mountains, and searched everywhere to avenge this thunderous vengeance.

Finally, in the center of the courtyard, I found a "small dot".

At first, he was violent and disdainful, but as his gaze swept down, as if he had seen something extremely terrifying, his pupils trembled violently, and he turned around and fled towards the center of the town.

"Ahem!"

As soon as the beast left, the yellow-robed Taoist couldn't hold it anymore and fell into the muddy water.

The townspeople who had been guarding the neighborhood from beginning to end poured into the ruins, looking at the yellow-robed Taoist with worry and distress.

The man stood up with the support of Zhang Baiqi and others, took off his yellow robe and handed it to a woman holding scissors in her hand to defend herself.

"That was just now...... Beast ......"

He explained intermittently, his voice dry and weak: "It's a beast that can bring hunger and famine." They usually sleep in the mountains or the sea, and only come out to forage for food on the day of Qinggu. ”

"There are three fears in this thing: yellow clothes, dead silence, and pitch black."

"Later, Aunt Lao will cut my robe into strips, take a piece of each person, and tie it to her body, so that you can keep yourself safe......"

"In addition, find some more cloth to keep your feet, the beast's hearing is not good, and if it has no sound, it will not be able to find the target......"

"Finally...... Put the fire out, lose the light, and it won't be long before it recedes on its own......"
