At the end of the day's lessons, a tree oil lamp had been lit in the wise man's cabin.

A few children said goodbye to the wise man and Li Li, and hopped home.

Li Li learned the appearance of those children, bowed his head slightly to the wise man, and just as she was about to go back with the senior brother on her back, the wise man suddenly stopped her.

"Li Li, wait a minute."

Li Li, who could already roughly understand everyday conversation, stopped and looked at the wise man who had been drooping his pointed ears since the morning.

"You don't have to come over tomorrow, I'm going to be away for a few days. The village may not be very peaceful in the next few days, you must not leave the village, if you are in trouble, go to Goss, find Goss, understand? ”

The wise man emphasized Goss's name twice, and only reassured when he saw Li Li nod.

"Okay kid, hurry back and get a good night's sleep." The wise man turned around and put away a small monster leather box, solemnly fastened the half-worn black cloak, and finally put the wooden wand under his armpit, and walked out quickly.

Before closing the door, he glanced up at the sky.

Li Li also looked up.

Outside, there was only a faint light in the fog, and the moonlight that had illuminated the outline of the entire village had dimmed at some point.

……

"I heard that in the past, those two moons would hang in the night sky for a long time, and where there was light, the Warcraft would converge a lot." Yao Tan, who was very familiar with the villagers, knew a lot, and while boiling the medicinal soup, he explained to Li Li and Sikong Ash: "But since more than ten years ago, the double moon will be dim or even completely plunge into darkness from time to time, and the demonic beasts at this time will become more violent and bloodthirsty, and even super terrifying things will appear in the dark......"

Sikong Ember asked coldly: "Is it terrifying when you ask for spirit stones for medical cultivation?" ”

This time, Yao Tan didn't fight with Sikong Ash, but leaned closer to Li Li's side a little nervously, before lowering his voice and continuing: "It is said that ...... There were ghosts in those days. ”

"As a monk, are you afraid of ghosts? Aren't those demon cultivators more terrifying than ghosts? ”

"As a medical practitioner, I'm so weak that I haven't even killed a chicken! I've never seen a demon cultivator! ”

"......" Li Wei thought, not only have you seen the Demon Cultivator, but you have also used the decapitated Demon Emperor as a meat shield.

However, Yao Tan was afraid that he would not believe this kind of thing at all, so Li Li turned to ask: "Didn't there be no moon when we first came?" And no ghosts appeared. ”

"Then I don't know...... But you're right, I was chased by a group of slimes in the Warcraft Mountains for two days and two nights, and I didn't see any ghosts, and I didn't encounter other murderous Warcraft. Yao Tan touched his chin and quickly analyzed the reason-

"Because it was raining at the time, the moon was just blocked by dark clouds, right?"

There is certainly no moon on a rainy day, which makes sense.

"Knock knock—"

A rhythmic knock interrupted the conversation, and Li left the door to see Goss standing in the doorway.

The black stone behind him poked his head out and showed a bright smile: "Good evening." ”

Blackstone is Goss's younger brother, and compared to the latter's old-fashioned and blunt personality, he is much more kind and lively, and since he woke up and knew that it was Li Li who saved him, he has become familiar and consciously called his sister.

Yao Tan also came up: "Why are you here so late?" ”

Goss warned expressionlessly, "Don't go out at night from tonight, our luck can't be as good as that time in the Demon Beast Mountain Range." ”

Without saying much, he continued to walk forward with the heavy sword in his hand.

Heishi waved at them: "In the evening, I found traces of demonic beast activity at the entrance of the village, and my brother and I will go to patrol and keep vigil around the village, goodbye!" ”

Yao Tan also waved his hand, ready to say goodnight and go back to continue studying the alchemy technique given to him by the wise man, but a force from his waist pushed him out-

Hearing the movement, Heishi turned back in surprise: "Yao Tan, you are also going to patrol?" ”

"No ......"

Yao Tan glanced back at the expressionless Li Li with a slight resentment, then looked at the scorched wooden stick she was holding against her waist, and nodded very respectfully: "Yes, Li Li and I will also go on patrol with you." ”

Goss, who had a straight face, rarely showed a thumbs up: "I can't see that you still have some courage." ”

“……”

Yao Tan replied vaguely helplessly, he didn't want to be so brave! But Li Li's attitude made it clear that he wanted him to go with him!

Although he is now the one with the highest cultivation, Yao Tan doesn't know why, he just feels flustered when he is glanced at by Li Li, and he always feels that the other party can stab him to death with a stick.

Probably this is the oppressive power of the Heavenly Sword Sect's sword cultivation...... The problem is that Li Li, her senior brother, doesn't have this oppressive force!

On the way, Yao Tan gritted his teeth and whispered to Li Li: "I am a medical cultivator, a medical cultivator who needs to be protected!" Why let me go on an adventure! ”

"You owe a favor."

Yao Tan is rotten: "What favor does I want to risk my life to pay back"

Li Li stared at Yao Tan expressionlessly, and just when Yao Tan thought she was short of words, she seriously began to break her fingers and calculate: "Your basket of mushrooms was made by Hailey." ”

“……”

"You ate the goo egg Susan gave you in the morning."

“……”

"Even the dirty pants you're wearing right now are-"

The last sentence successfully made Yao Tan's face change greatly: "Stop!" I'll go! ”

Chapter 6: What Should I Do Against You?

After nightfall, the village is frighteningly quiet.

Every log cabin was closed with a crack in the door, and no one lit a campfire or an oil lamp, and as soon as Susan's cooing chicken crowed, a hand reached out from inside the door and scooped it up.

Susan poked her head out from behind the door and said, "Come back safely!" ”

"It's not going to die."

Goss took the giant sword on his shoulder and walked at the front, while Blackstone was one step behind and walked side by side with Li Li.

"My brother said that some monsters have far better hearing and vision than humans, and they may be attracted by the fire or dog barking in the village from a distance of thousands of kilometers, so whenever the double moon is dark, we in Jumu Village will try our best to hide in the dark."

In the dark, Xiao Tang, who touched it at some point, opened his mouth and pouted silently, as if he was cooperating with Heishi's words.

The night became more and more intense, and the shadows of the trees were completely melted at any time, and Li Li's footsteps slowed down and quietly fell behind.

Yao Tan found out and immediately looked back: "Don't be so far away from me, I'm afraid!" ”

Li Li had no intention of approaching at all, and his voice did not rise or fall: "Then you continue to be afraid." ”

Only then did Yao Tan realize that Li Li was the injured person who needed to be protected, so he added: "I mean, I'm afraid that you will encounter a demonic beast and will not have time to save you." ”

It's a pity that Li Li wasn't moved at all, but was farther away from the team, if it weren't for Yao Tan's spiritual power to sense that she was nearby, he would have suspected that she was really taken away by some invisible demonic beast.

Just as the three of them turned to patrol in the other direction of the village, Xiao Tang suddenly shouted in a low voice in the direction of the village entrance.

This time it screamed.

"Someone's coming."

When Goss and the others rushed over, more than a dozen people had gathered at the entrance of the village.

Their faces were hidden in the darkness, and they could only distinguish that the one in the front was a middle-aged uncle, whose loyal face was mixed with blood and sweat, and looked particularly embarrassed in the light of the fire.

"Save my people!"

"The village was attacked by demonic beasts, only a dozen of us were left to escape, and there are many wounded waiting for treatment in the back, please let us in to rest!"

Suppressed cries and cries for help were heard from the ranks: "I saw with my own eyes that my daughter was eaten by a demonic beast!" "My father didn't hold on on to the road...... "My dear Lola is gone......"

Goss held the giant sword at the entrance of the village and did not move, and he asked in a calm voice, "Which village are you from?" Who is the wise man in the village? What kind of monster attacked your village? ”

He asked more than a dozen questions in a row, and this impersonal style made the team of nomads in the dark a little noisy.

An old voice came weakly: "Forget my son, this village is not willing to help us poor fellows......"

Before he finished speaking, the old man fell down with a cry of pain, as if he had fainted.

The big man with the torch pleaded with Goss, but the latter's burly body remained still.

The big man's face suddenly became angry and desperate, and he glared at Goss angrily: "You are also vagrants, why do you want to see death and not save you!" ”

Goss stuck his sword into the ground, blocking the entrance of the village like a rock, with no intention of responding.

So the big man anxiously turned to the obviously more immature Heishi and Yao Tan: "Please save my father, it doesn't matter if we don't go into the village, just give us some water and food, please—"

Kuroshi's eyes showed pity and emotion: "I'm sorry for what happened to you. ”

Then he took two steps forward, under the moving gaze of the big man...... In front of Yao Tan.

This time it was Yao Tan's turn to be moved, very good, he appreciated this kind of person who stood in front of the medical repair!

Heishi, who seemed to be soft-hearted, didn't mean to help plead, he whispered to Yao Tan: "What about Sister Li Li?" ”

"I don't know, I just walked away, maybe to the thatched house...... No, it's a. ”

"Yao Tan, you are so rude."

In between the two of them, the old man on the ground was already curled up in pain, and the big man led by him kept pleading with Goss, almost kneeling in front of him, and his scarred hand reached out to Goss with longing.

Goss's cold face was slightly moved, and he opened his mouth, as if he was about to say something—

The big man's outstretched hand suddenly clenched into a fist and slammed into Goss, and at the same time, his other hand felt a short blade and was about to stab Goss!

However, Goss moved faster, and as soon as he raised his hand, the greatsword that never let go slashed into the big man's neck.

Grunt twice.

The human head and the torch rolled to the ground at the same time.

Heishi's thin body stiffened slightly, Yao Tan gently patted him on the shoulder, and just when Heishi thought he was going to stand in front of him in turn, Yao Tan pulled him and moved behind Xiao Tang.

“……”

Goss's eyes widened in shock as he met the deceased's voice, still cold.

"My sword, has been waiting for your neck."

There was a moment of silence in the darkness.

In the next moment, the more than a dozen wanderers huddled together no longer continued to pretend to be weak before, they took out their weapons hidden under the beast's skin clothes and rushed over, revealing their murderous nature!

"Kill them!"

"Occupy this village! They have a magic circle that can withstand the monsters! ”
