A small village.

Surrounded by mountains and rivers, the scenery is beautiful.

"Daddy, mother, I'm here, you guys come to arrest me!"

"Found you, Lan!"

"Daddy's tricks, do it again!"

"Okay, do it again, do it again!"

A little girl is playing with her parents in her yard.

At this time, a deafening howl suddenly sounded outside the village, and the villagers were all shaken.

The little girl was so frightened that she cried, and the man hurriedly stepped forward to hug her:

"Xiaolan, don't be afraid, don't be afraid!"

The little girl's mother suddenly exclaimed, "What's that?!" ”

This was followed by countless heavy and swift footsteps, and the screams of the villagers.

The little girl wanted to look out, but was hugged by her father blindfolded, and there was a terrible scream from her mother behind her.

"Mother!"

The little girl exclaimed, and then felt a warm liquid splash on her face, and a strong fishy smell hit her nose.

She opened her eyes in horror, only to see a claw with thick golden fur peeking out of her father's chest.

"Daddy."

The little girl froze, and the man bowed his head with difficulty:

"Xiaolan, run"

The beast's claws puffed back, and blood gushed out, drenching the little girl's head and face.

The man fell to the ground, his life was cut off, and the little girl also fell to the ground, got up and ran towards the man:

"Daddy, Daddy!"

At this moment, a hideous, stout, huge paw like a millstone fell with a thud and stepped on the little girl.

The little girl trembled, slowly raised her head, and a demon beast with a golden hair and a dog's head and a pig's mouth was reflected in her pupils.

The monster beast had a narrow scar on its right eye, which was even more hideous, and it landed on all fours, with blood on one of its front paws, and opened its bloody mouth and pounced on the little girl.

"Daddy! Mother! ”

Mo Xiaolan opened her eyes suddenly, sweating profusely, her chest rose and fell violently, and she was out of breath.

The moon is bright and clean in the sky, and the surrounding mountains and trees are quiet.

This place is still more than a thousand miles away from Yunling Town.

After leaving the Zhenyang Sect yesterday, Wei Wan led a group of disciples to gallop at a high speed, and traveled thousands of miles in half a day.

It was not until late at night that the people were ordered to rest for a few hours.

At this speed, we will be able to reach Yunling Town before tomorrow's day.

The disciples who slept in the woods were all cultivators, but they were not afraid of the heavy exposure in the depths of the night, and they each meditated or rested cross-legged.

Mo Xiaolan somehow, suddenly dreamed of a childhood scene that she hadn't remembered for many years.

She wiped the sweat from her forehead, but her heart couldn't calm down for a long time, and the spiritual power in her body gradually showed signs of disorder.

On the ground, a warm palm pressed against her back, and the voice was gentle:

"Gather your mind."

A spiritual power entered her body, Mo Xiaolan closed her eyes, and let the spiritual power travel through her whole body with the meridians, enter her spiritual field, and then slowly dissipate.

She also ran the orchid recipe herself, and after half an hour, the aura in her body that was almost disordered finally calmed down.

Mo Xiaolan opened her eyes, turned around and said, "Qin Geng, thank you." ”

Qin Gengyun smiled and said softly, "What's wrong?" ”

Mo Xiaolan lowered her head and was silent for a moment, and said, "I told you that my father and mother and the entire village were killed by demon beasts. ”

Qin Gengyun asked, "Do you remember what happened when you were young?" ”

Mo Xiaolan nodded, and suddenly shook her head and smiled, with a melancholy expression: "Actually, I can't remember what my father and mother look like." ”

She paused, then added, "But, I always remember what the demon beast that killed my father and mother looked like. ”

Qin Gengyun took out a silk scarf from his arms and handed it to her, Mo Xiaolan took it, wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead, and continued:

"That demon beast has a golden hair, a dog's head and a pig's mouth, strong limbs, and sharp claws, and later I checked the classics, and it is very similar to an ancient demon beast called 'cunning'."

"Cunning?" Qin Gengyun groaned slightly: "It is said that this is an ancient demon beast with the same name as the earth mole, and the grade is at least six grades, why was the small village where you lived when you were a child attacked by a six-grade demon beast?" ”

"I can't figure that out either."

Mo Xiaolan sat on the ground, clasped her knees with her hands, her chin resting on her knees, showing a rare weak posture of her daughter's family, and doubts appeared on her face:

"The beast tide ended twenty years ago, but our village was attacked by demon beasts fifteen years ago, and since then, we have never seen high-grade demon beasts attack the places where mortals live."

Qin Gengyun sat down with her, knowing that Mo Xiaolan was depressed at the moment, so he accompanied her to analyze:

"After the beast tide, there are high-grade demon beasts infested, but this is something that has never been seen before, if it is really an ancient demon beast cunning, why did it attack an ordinary small village alone? Could it be that there is some special goal? ”

Mo Xiaolan shook her head, her eyes reddened: "In the entire village, only I survived, but I couldn't even find my father's body."

Qin Gengyun comforted: "At that time, you were too young, it was not easy to get away with it, I can't blame you." ”

Mo Xiaolan suddenly buried her cheeks in her knees, and her shoulders trembled slightly.

Qin Gengyun sat beside her silently, quietly accompanying her.

Suddenly, Qin Gengyun looked back at a dense forest behind him, but it was dark inside, and there was no movement.

After a while, Mo Xiaolan raised her head, with tears on her face:

"I'm sorry."

Qin Gengyun said softly: "What's so sorry about this, you and I are best friends, you naturally want to vent with me if you have something in your heart." ”

Mo Xiaolan wiped away her tears with Qin Geng's silk scarf, and a bright smile like an orchid appeared on her face:

"There's you. It's nice to have such a friend, thank you, I'm fine, you go and rest. ”

"Okay."

Qin Gengyun nodded, and when Mo Xiaolan leaned against a big tree and closed his eyes, and gradually fell asleep, he got up and walked to the side.

After a pause, he suddenly walked to the other side, which was the resting place of the disciples of Danxia Peak.

He approached slowly, and with all his eyesight, he saw the delicate and thin figure in the darkness.

At this moment, she crossed her arms and curled up on a thin blanket spread on the ground, looking even more delicate and lovely.

Qin Gengyun shook his head slightly, could it be my delusion just now?

He stopped snooping, returned to the place where the disciples of Huashen Peak rested, sat cross-legged, and closed his eyes.

At this time, Ruomei, who was curled up on the ground like a human, opened her eyes, her face was no longer weak, and her eyes were cold.

That silk scarf is mine, how dare you take it to wipe the tears of other women?

Hehe, this one is the heaviest!

Following.

戌時.

A majestic mountain appeared in the eyes of everyone.

Qin Gengyun's spirit perked up: "Yunling Mountain!" ”

Wei Wan, who was at the front, turned around and said, "Yunling Town is ahead, everyone be careful." ”

As soon as she finished speaking, a huge howl suddenly came from ahead, soaring into the sky, deafening!

Everyone was frightened, sped up, and soon saw Yunling Town.

However, at this moment, the defensive array of Yunling Town no longer exists, and most of the tall city walls have collapsed!

Countless demon beasts in front of them rushed into the town like a tide, and the ground was covered with blood and the remains of humans and beasts!

On the ruined city wall, a demon beast with a golden body and a dog's head and a pig's mouth emitted black light all over its body, looking up to the sky and roaring.

"Cunning?!"
