Following.

The group had to decide which three people would be in charge of patrolling the valley for the next month, and which two would stay in the valley.

The answer is obvious.

After the three brothers and sisters of the Zhang family left, Wu Wei turned around and went into the house to practice the three changes of refining the red, and did not come out all day.

In the evening, he went into the nearby mountains and forests, hunted some wild beasts, and came back for a gluttonous meal.

After eating, he went into the house and began to cultivate, silent, like an ascetic, and his life was monotonous and boring.

Feng Gu Liben is a babbling character, but these people are like this, so he started talking to himself.

A month passed quickly.

In the second month, it was Wu Wei's turn to be in charge of the daily shuttle patrol with Zhang He, the younger brother of the Zhang family, and Zhang Youyi, the younger sister of the Zhang family.

At noon on this day, the rare cloudless sky suddenly thundered and rained heavily.

Wu Wei, Zhang He, and Zhang Youyi were on routine patrols, and when they saw the heavy rain pouring down, they decided to go home in advance.

The three of them hurried away, and halfway through, Wu Wei suddenly raised his eyebrows and moved.

He stretched out his hand to stop the two.

"What's wrong?" Zhang He said suspiciously.

"There's a demonic aura." Wu Wei said solemnly.

The brothers and sisters of the Zhang family looked at each other.

"Demonic? I didn't smell anything......"

"Shhhh

Wu Wei motioned for them to silence and continued to walk a few steps forward.

Aside from the bushes, ten zhang in front of him, there is a towering locust tree with three people hugging each other.

The two poked their heads out from behind Wu Wei, both of them were shocked.

In the center of the locust tree, a human-tall black goat was tied up by vines.

The vine had thorns that had penetrated deep into its body, and its roots were stained blood-red.

The black goat screamed bitterly: baa——, was suddenly covered by thunder again.

A pair of green sheep's eyes, revealing deep resentment because of being tortured.

"First-Order Demon Beast!" Zhang He's nervous voice with a hint of excitement and a slight trembling voice came.

Wu Wei frowned and said in a low voice, "While it's trapped, let's hurry up." ”

"Do you want to go?" Zhang He immediately asked: "It's just a first-order demon beast, we are three against one, what's so terrible?" ”

"Even if it's a first-order demon beast, there are early, middle and late stages. What if it was a first-order late-stage demon beast? Wu Wei felt more and more inappropriate and wanted to leave.

"You don't have to worry about it. My sister and I joined forces, which was enough to fight against the demon beasts of the late first order. You can help a little bit, right? Together, we'll be able to kill this demon. The more Zhang He spoke, the more excited he became.

"Don't you think it's a bit too weird for such a sheep demon to suddenly appear at this time?" Wu Wei snorted coldly, he had made up his mind, and quietly retreated.

"The vine is broken." Zhang Youyi reminded.

The black goat broke free from the vines, and with a look of madness and panic on his face, he rushed out in one direction.

"It wants to escape?" Zhang Heyu said.

"Let it go!" Wu Wei roared.

It's a pity it's too late.

Zhang He opened his baggage and pulled out a palm-sized wooden doll.

The puppet is lifelike, and its facial expression is somewhat similar to that of the stone statuette.

"Trap it!" Zhang He gave an order, urging the divine power in the wooden puppet.

Suddenly, several wooden thorns rose from the ground, lifting the panicked black goat high and stabbing it deep into its belly.

Seeing him do it, Wu Wei felt a flustery and a cold sweat for no reason.

Instead of paying attention to the black goat, he looked around with great nervousness.

He had a feeling of being watched in the dark.

"What are you waiting for? Come help me! Zhang He yelled.

Zhang Youyi no longer hesitated, took out her wooden puppet, and used her divine power, and several wooden thorns instantly protruded, piercing the black goat with seven or eight blood holes, and the last thorn pierced the sheep's brain, making it die with a wail.

"Dead? ...... He's dead! What am I talking about? Let's die! ”

Zhang He's eyes lit up, and he couldn't help laughing.

He turned around, looked at Wu Wei who was stunned, shook his head and said, "I know why you're afraid...... I heard that your treacherous baby is not compatible with you? ”

There was a bit of sympathy on his face.

Wu Wei slowly withdrew his gaze: "Let's go." ”

"What's gone?" Zhang He frowned and said, "Don't pretend to be a ghost." ”

Wu Wei glanced at him coldly and did not speak.

Zhang He didn't plan to deal with him anymore.

happily and Zhang Youyi put down the wooden thorn and retrieved the sheep carcass.

Summoning a wooden thorn and cutting off the sheep's head.

"With this, it's not a trip for nothing. Lord Lu will definitely be very happy. Zhang Hexi said.

The three of them set off again.

In the second half of the race, there were no more anomalies.

The rain came and went quickly, and when the rain stopped, the forest was foggy again.

......

"Brother Wu Wei, what do you mean by 'leaving' just now?"

When he was about to reach the valley, Zhang Youyi suddenly leaned over unexpectedly and took the initiative to talk to Wu Wei.

Wu Wei glanced at this little girl with short haircuts, a name like a boy, and usually a capable girl, and said lightly: "It's nothing." ”

Zhang Youyi pursed his lips and didn't ask any more.

"Your hole cards are exposed." Wu Wei suddenly said more: "That wooden doll, the spells it is good at using. When others find out, they will be on guard. Or when others find out, they will have no scruples. ”

"What do you mean...... Zhang Youyi frowned, and suddenly understood: "So you didn't make a move?" ”

"If I make a move, the three of us probably won't survive." Wu Wei looked at her deeply.

In the valley, Feng Guli and Zhang Li, who looked anxious, stood under the stone statue and waited.

After the three of them appeared, Zhang Li hurriedly greeted them: "Are you okay?" The stone statue has just been warned. ”

"Big brother, we're fine. Not only is it okay – what do you think it is? Zhang He threw out the sheep's head and said proudly: "You Yi and I killed a first-order demon beast." ”

Zhang Li took the sheep's head, but instead of being happy, he subconsciously set his eyes on Wu Wei.

Feng Gu Li also surrounded him.

"This black goat is a bit strange. Somehow, tied to a locust tree, on our way back. Wu Wei said lightly.

As soon as they heard this, both Zhang Li and Feng Guli had deep doubts on their faces.

Even if he was as dull as Zhang He, he gradually woke up from the excitement of hunting demon beasts at this moment, listened to Wu Wei's words, and then recalled the whole process, and pondered carefully, it felt that something was not quite right.

"I suggest we narrow down the scope of our daily shuttle patrols and not go too far." Wu Wei touched his chin and said, "As long as we can keep the stone statuette, we will actually complete most of the task." As for the individual demon beasts who want to sneak into the Dazhai realm, the strong people in Dazhai are like clouds, only stronger than us, not weaker, and they can be warned and informed of Dazhai in time, and they don't have to be intercepted by risk. ”

The other four were silent and looked at each other, and no one objected, acquiescing to the proposal.

From Dazhai's point of view, it is natural that they must stop every demon beast.

But when it comes to yourself, ask yourself if you are really willing to use your life to defend Dazhai?

This is a choice worth questioning.
