Tao Qian, who came to the outside of the house, was about to find an open space to sit down, but accidentally found something abnormal.

Outside the house, there was a dense bush, cascading on top of each other, followed by a forest. The point was that there was a small pool of black-purple liquid on the edge of the bushes, which stood out in the sunlight.

When I came, I was afraid that I was obscured by the shrubs, so I couldn't see this strangeness, but now as soon as I came out of the house, the sharp-eyed Tao Qian found something unusual.

"Village Chief, have you seen that black liquid?" Tao Qian asked, pointing to the puddle of black liquid.

The village chief looked in the direction Tao Qian was pointing at, and couldn't help frowning: "Isn't this the juice of Lou Sangguo?" ”

The village chief smiled and said, "At the foot of this Yang Mountain, this kind of shrub is very common, and there will always be a lot of mulberry fruits in this building at this time." This fruit should not be picked too hard, otherwise it will easily break open and flow out of the juice, and many people in our village often pick this fruit to make fruit brew or make wine with grains. ”

After hearing this, Tao Qian did not let go of his frowning brows, but became even more puzzled. This liquid is obviously very viscous like the blood flowing from the corpse he saw when he killed Tian Lao Er last night. And if it is the juice of Lou Sangguo that the village chief said, it will definitely not have such a nature.

Thinking of this, Tao Qian raised his head and walked towards the bushes. The village chief on the side seemed to have thought of something, and looked a little anxious, so he followed to see what the situation was.

Tao Qian squatted down, gently picked up the bushes, rummaged through them, found a few Lou mulberry fruits, and then threw them on the ground, trampling the fruits with the soles of his shoes.

When I removed my foot, I found that the juice was not the same as the puddle of liquid. Compared with the liquid in that pool, the juice of Lou Mulberry fruit is obviously more translucent, and the purple is obviously lighter, and the black is more.

Tao Qian carefully compared the difference between the two, and thought of the battle with Tian Lao Er last night, and in an instant, he caught something.

"Yes! The black mist that the monster spewed out when it attacked last night fell to the ground, and it was a thick and dull black-purple color. ”

Tao Qian came up with an answer and looked back at the village chief: "Village chief, this is not the juice of Lou Sangguo, I am afraid it is an evil thing left by the evil spirit." ”

"What!" The village chief was frightened by this sentence, and was speechless for a moment, but came back to his senses and asked cautiously: "Are you sure, this fruit is picked a lot every year, and the juice that flows out of some damaged fruits is like this." ”

Tao Qian thought that maybe the village chief couldn't accept it for a while, shook his head and said: "No, village chief, you see, the texture of this fruit liquid is more translucent than that pool of liquid, and besides, village chief, you smell it carefully, the pool of liquid emits a foul smell from time to time, but this pool of liquid is too little, and the taste is not obvious." ”

Hearing Tao Gan say this, the village chief leaned in front of the liquid, sniffed it carefully, and sure enough, a faint foul smell hit, and after smelling it, the whole person felt a sense of vomiting, retching and hurriedly retreated a few steps.

Tao Qian continued: "To tell you the truth, I met a monster last night, and it was this black liquid that attacked me, which was exactly the same texture as this pool, and the monster squirted out of its mouth like saliva. And it smells very uncomfortable, and I suspect that the saliva may have caused the villagers to be like children in the house. ”

When the village chief heard this, he panicked: "This, how is this good?" ”

Tao Qian calmed the impatient village chief: "Village chief, don't worry, the top priority now is to tell all the villagers not to approach this liquid, I will go and check to see if I can find a way to remove this saliva liquid." ”

"Okay, okay, I'll tell you right away." After speaking, the village chief hurriedly walked away.

Tao Qian looked down at the liquid again, thinking in his heart what to do.

This pool of liquid was obviously left by a monster like Tian Lao Er last night, which proves that there is more than one monster. The son of the Tian family may have been attacked by this saliva or smelled the saliva and caused the evil spirit, and the child usually does not run too far, so it seems that the only way to find out where this saliva comes from is to go into the woods in front of him to find out.

As soon as he said to do it, Tao Qian cast a magic talisman, increased his speed, and ran quickly into the woods.

The scenery around him swept wildly, leaving only misty shadows, the wind whistling in my ears, and my robes and hair were blown up.

Suddenly, Tao Qian stopped and walked towards a tree.

"Sure enough, it's here, it doesn't seem to be far away." Tao Qian muttered to himself. Next to the tree was a puddle of saliva, and along the way, Tao Qian had already encountered many places of saliva.

He followed the trail all the way, and the saliva liquid also went deeper and deeper into the dense forest, Tao Qian had a hunch, and if he went inside, it might be the place where the monsters gathered.

In order to prevent being caught off guard by sudden danger, he took out a few talismans from his baggage, pinched them in his hands, and was always ready for battle.

Checking his bearings, he continued his way deeper.

"Are you all ready?" In the depths of the dense forest, a man dressed in a black robe. The man who couldn't see his face asked the man next to him. The man's voice was deep and heavy, if it weren't for the strange aura emitted by wearing this black robe, just by his voice, he only felt that he was a kind man in his thirties and forties.

"Back to the branch master, everything is ready, it's just ......," the person next to him hurriedly bent down and folded his fists in reply. This man was wearing a black robe, but he took off his hat, revealing a pointed chin, small eyes, and a high nose bridge, which belonged to the appearance of a treacherous person at first glance, but coupled with his thin and tall figure, he unexpectedly revealed a sense of resourcefulness.

"Just what? Did something go wrong? ”

"Tian Lao Er, who we captured from Natianjia Village, found the people below dead in the wilderness today, and he was also buried. There were traces of a bonfire in that place, and I think someone had killed them. ”

"Hmph, it seems that someone is going to do something bad, you tell them to keep an eye on it, don't show any horses, otherwise it will be a big thing, and you want to look good!" The tone of the branch hall master was very stern, and his words revealed a fierce energy.

"Yes, yes, don't worry, your subordinates will do their best." The tall and thin man bent even lower, and his tone was a little frightened.

"Alright, take me to see how the corpses are doing."

The tall and thin man nodded yes, and one strode ahead to lead the way, and the two disappeared into the depths of the forest.

Behind the trunk of a thick tree not far away, Tao Qian held his breath and condensed, not daring to be careless at all. It wasn't until I was sure that there was no movement outside that I dared to breathe softly.

"Who are these two?" This was the first question that popped up in Tao Qian's heart.

He was walking through the forest, but he stumbled upon two black-robed people talking here, if he hadn't pinched a wide sense talisman to enhance his senses in advance, and heard the sound of talking in the distance, he hurriedly leaned over with light steps, this conversation would not have been audible.

His intention was to use it to raise his senses to avoid the beasts of the forest, but he didn't expect it to be of great use here. Tao Qian listened to the conversation just now, but one thing is certain.

"There is a high probability that they are the manipulators behind this evil attack!" Tao Qian made a judgment in his heart.

First of all, strangers have inexplicably appeared in this vicinity, which is very strange in itself; Secondly, the tall and thin man was called "the master of the hall", so there was definitely an organization behind the two of them; In the end, what the two of them said about "corpses" is not a clean thing at first hearing.

After Tao Gan's careful analysis, he judged that these two people were probably the ones who released the evil spirit, and this evil should be the "corpse" in their mouth. Yes, the appearance of Tian Lao Er, whom he killed last night, fits this name. The most difficult thing to expect was that they also found Tian Laoer's body, and it seems that he has to be careful.

Tao Qian revealed his figure from behind the trunk of the tree and decided to follow the two men to find out, but he warned himself over and over again in his heart that he had to be careful!

Tao Qian bent down, with the help of grass and tree trunks, and walked forward covertly, always keeping a certain distance from the two people in front of him, paying full attention to the movements around him.

Suddenly, the two men in front of them stopped, and the tall and thin man said, "Come out." ”

Tao Qian was shocked, but he didn't dare to make a sound, so he could only do his best to lower his body, hold his breath and concentrate, and not make any movement at all.

The two of them turned around suddenly, Tao Gan felt even more frightened, his hand slowly took out a burst charm from his baggage, and the muscles of his whole body tensed, ready for battle.

Just before Tao Qian was about to attack first, a person suddenly appeared behind the two people, and said with a smile: "Hehe, you guys are finally here, I've been waiting for a long time." ”

The man, who was also dressed in a black robe, walked up to the two of them, and gently took off his hat, revealing a familiar face of Tao Qian.

Tao Qian was shocked, this is, the village chief?!
