Chapter 34: A Chance Encounter
After going around in this unfamiliar mountain range for nearly an hour, Fang Yan couldn't find a demon beast of comparable strength, and occasionally he could see one, but he only had the strength of the seventh or eighth layer of vitality. Far from his opponents. He wondered unusually much.
"Ah......h
Just as he was about to go home, a scream came into his ears. He stiffened, and looked in disbelief in the direction where the voice came from. I didn't seem to have thought that there would be a second person in such a mountain range.
With a slight roll of his eyes, he cautiously walked in the direction from which the voice came. The further you go, the more and more voices you hear, the more mixed they become. It may sound like there's more than one person.
A quarter of an hour later, he stopped halfway up a mountain, hid his figure behind a large tree, poked out his head, and looked ahead.
In a clearing dozens of zhang away in front of him, a middle-aged man and a dozen young men surrounded a demon beast in the middle, eyeing it fiercely. And in the mouth of the demon beast, there was a little girl who was only seven or eight years old.
After just one glance, Fang Yan showed a look of surprise. Because he found that the demon beast was only at the strength of the seventh layer of vitality. What made him feel even more incredible was that the dozen or so middle-aged men surrounding this demon beast did not have a trace of vitality fluctuations. It was a dozen ordinary people.
You must know that in this world where strength is respected, it is difficult to fill even a stomach without strength, and there are very few people who do not practice, and even if there is, it is some women who are married to women. It's rare to see a dozen ordinary people at once, and all of them are men.
These dozen or so people were holding homemade spears, but they were not nervous at all in the face of a demon beast whose strength was much higher than them. More than a dozen people kept moving, perhaps because the demon beast was holding the little girl in its mouth, but they didn't dare to act rashly.
On the other hand, the demon beast was in a hurry in the middle. A pair of eyes are rolling around, constantly looking for a breakthrough.
"Whew!"
Just as Fang Yan was worried about the safety of the little girl and hesitated to help, one of the men suddenly took a step forward, and the spear in his hand pierced the demon beast's neck.
The demon beast shook slightly, and then easily dodged.
"Woohoo!"
The other two men stabbed their spears again. Forced it back alive. As it was about to retreat in another direction, two more spears were stabbed. Methodical and perfectly matched. directly forced this demon beast to a point where there was no way back.
"Whew!"
The monster let out a low roar and won the lottery on its legs. With a flick of his head, he made a move that made the faces of the dozen or so men change drastically. He threw the little girl high.
"Don't!"
The middle-aged man screamed and ran towards the little girl.
At this moment when everyone was stunned, the demon beast jumped out of their encirclement. With a slight touch of his limbs on the ground, his body jumped high again, biting the little girl who fell from the sky just right.
"Whoosh!"
At this moment, a white light came out of thin air, and it sank into the body of the demon beast in the stunned eyes of more than a dozen people, so that he didn't even have time to let out a wail before he whimpered. Crashed to the ground.
Easily solved the demon beast, Fang Yan flashed out from behind the tree, jumped a few times, and held the little girl in his hand when he was about to fall to the ground.
"Are you alright?" Fang Yan looked at the little girl in his hand and breathed a sigh of relief.
"It's fine." The little girl shook her head, her eyes wide open and curious at the strange man who suddenly appeared.
It was only then that Fang Yan suddenly realized that this little girl did not show a frightened expression from beginning to end, let alone cry in fright.
"Ke'er, are you alright?" The middle-aged man rushed over with a nervous face, took the little girl away from Fang Yan's hand, took a few steps back, and looked at him uneasily.
At the same time, the dozen or so other young men also came to their senses and walked a few quick steps to stand behind him, looking wary. I was confused.
"This uncle, I have no ill intentions, I just happened to pass by here." Fang Yan explained with a smile.
"Thank you, little brother, for coming to the rescue." After hearing the explanation of the dialect, the expression on the middle-aged man's face was obviously relaxed, but he was still vigilant.
"It's okay, it's just a gesture. Good bye. Fang Yan waved his hand and turned to leave.
Although he was a little curious about these people, he could also tell that they were a little afraid of himself, an outsider who suddenly broke in.
"Uncle Han Lin, he ...... He's the same as that man, he can emit that white light, and he might have a way to save us. Seeing that Fang Yan said to leave, a young man standing behind him couldn't help but whisper, his tone was a little anxious.
"Yes, Uncle Han Lin, he shouldn't be with that person, he should really happen to pass by here, otherwise he wouldn't have saved Ke'er. Let's ask him to help us. Otherwise, we really won't be able to live. Another young man Fu and Dao.
"Little brother, please wait." The middle-aged man was obviously moved by the two young men, and immediately stepped forward and shouted.
Fang Yan paused, turned around, and looked at everyone with a smile. His ears were sensitive, and the voices of the two young men were small, but they were still in his ears. It made him even more curious.
"Little brother, my name is Han Lin," Han Lin introduced himself, pointed to the demon beast and said, "Little brother, take the liberty of asking, how did you kill this beast just now?" ”
Fang Yan was slightly stunned, listening to his tone, they didn't even seem to know about cultivation. I couldn't help but take a closer look at these people, these people were dark-skinned, strong, and wearing some rough cloth clothes, and they seemed to be people from two worlds.
"Uncle, before answering your question, can I ask how you ended up here?"
Han Lin said without hesitation: "We come from a small village a hundred miles away. ”
"A small village a hundred miles away?" Fang Yan was stunned again, he could see clearly before choosing this location, there were endless mountains for thousands of miles in all directions. There are no small villages.
Han Lin seemed to see the confusion of the dialect, and explained it again, and the dialect understood a little.
It turned out that this small village was inhabited in this mountain range, and these people lived in this mountain range for generations, and they lived a living by farming and hunting, although they were not rich, but they were also at ease. What's more, they have lived in this place for hundreds of years and have never stepped out of this mountain range, nor have they ever thought of going outside. What they want to live is this kind of quiet life like a paradise.
However, this peaceful life was shattered two years ago. Two years ago, a cultivator somehow broke into this mountain range and discovered that village, and even used force to take that village for his own use, forcing the villagers of that village to find medicinal herbs for him. Although there were two or three hundred people in that small village, they were all ordinary people who had not cultivated, and where was his opponent. In desperation, for the safety of his family, they had to go all out to find medicinal materials for him.
Two years had passed, and the peaceful life was long gone, and the entire village was almost out of breath under the pressure of that cultivator. And the best medicinal herbs near the village have long been picked. Faced with the man's threat, they had to risk their lives to expand outward.
"You say that the person who threatens you can emit that kind of attacking white light like me?" Fang Yan asked with a frown. If that person can also release his vitality, then this person's strength is at least in the Soul Condensing Realm.
