Northwest of Anyu County.

A slightly sparse mountain forest.

Chen Mu stood on the top of a towering tree with a thick hug, and the whole person only stepped on a slender branch that seemed to be unbearable and broken at any time, and his eyes swept over the almost endless mountain forest below.

After a moment of careful observation, he stretched out his hand and pointed in a certain direction to the west, and said, "There." ”

Not far away.

On the canopy of another ancient tree, Xu Hongyu also stood among a slender branch, carefully observing the mountains and forests below, hearing Chen Mu's words, he immediately cast his gaze, stared at it, and said, "Yes, it should be." ”

The voice fell.

She and Chen Mu jumped together without getting off the tree, jumping forward directly along the canopy and walking through the top of the tree.

Xiaohe stood on a slightly shorter treetop behind the two of them, observing the surroundings carefully, and at this time, he also quietly followed Chen Mu and Xu Hongyu, and the three of them walked together.

The wolf demon cannibalized people a few days ago, and it is not easy to find its traces in the remote mountain forests, and it is almost impossible to find them even for ordinary people.

But Chen Mu and others are different.

Stepping into the realm of easy tendons, the improvement of qi and blood makes all senses far more acute than ordinary people, and even in the sparse jungle, you can quickly find faint traces.

After all, the wolf demon is a demon, especially in a manic state, its movements are often rough and reckless, and it will either leave footprints along the way, or it will break some small trees, tear some bushes, these are its remaining traces.

Along.

Xu Hongyu showed a very keen sense of observation and clear judgment, after all, she hunted demons far more than once, and even before serving as the chief secretary of Nancheng District, she had the experience of hunting demons with the elders of the Yu family, compared to Chen Mu, who was out of the city for the first time, she was undoubtedly too rich in experience.

Chen Mu listened to Xu Hongyu's explanation along the way, although he also understood all aspects of tracking, observation and so on, although he also understood it quickly, but after all, it was the first time, and it was inevitable that he was a little rusty, and it was not an instinct engraved in his blood after all.

But.

After tracking for about half a day, Chen Mu's experience in other aspects may still be rusty, but in terms of observation, he has directly surpassed Xu Hongyu, his gaze can cover a larger range, and he can also capture traces more keenly, often before Xu Hongyu found the traces left by the wolf demon.

Several people followed it and came to the top of an ancient tree, which was not very thick, but there was a bush underneath, and this bush was obviously shattered by the collision.

These vines and shrubs still retain their turquoise color, they grow very well before they break, and their own toughness is very strong, even if it is a grizzly bear and wild boar in the mountains, it is impossible to forcibly break it.

"Over there."

Xu Hongyu carefully observed the bushes and stretched out her hand to point in a direction to the south.

Chen Mu groaned, and after carefully looking at the traces of the shrubs, he glanced in the direction judged by Xu Hongyu, and nodded slightly: "Well, it should be, keep chasing, this guy is running around, it's really hard to find." ”

Xu Hongyu took the first step, crossed the treetops again, and continued to hurry from the tree, and said at the same time: "Since it is a full moon night and manic due to demonic attacks, then its movements are naturally chaotic, it is normal to go east and west, and it is just a coincidence to break into the village. ”

"Hmm."

Chen Mu followed beside him.

A third-order white wolf demon could not have appeared out of thin air, it must have been living in the mountains and forests for a long time, and it had never entered the village to eat people before, and this time it could only be a mistake under the mania.

But even so, it must be dealt with, after all, even if it is not specifically going to the village, it is just a manic rush, but there is a first time, then there will be a second time, as long as it is alive, it is a huge hidden danger for the villagers near this mountain range, and eliminating these hidden dangers is the meaning of the existence of the Demon Slaying Division.

Of course.

A third-order white wolf demon is also very valuable, if a body of fur is complete, it is worth a thousand taels of silver, bones and blood have medicinal value, and the flesh belongs to the edible class with strong blood.

It was dark, and as night wore on, everyone was not in a hurry, and it was difficult to distinguish the traces at night, so they settled in one place, rested for the night, and continued to track the next morning.

In the past two days, although they have been turning around, they have gradually gone deeper into the mountains and forests.

"It's close."

Xu Hongyu stood in a bush, staring at a pool of dried blood and a bit of broken bones.

Judging from the broken bones and a little trace of fur, it should be a relatively large and ferocious beast such as a grizzly bear, although this kind of beast is not a demon, but sometimes the danger is not lower than that of a first-order monster, for example, the first-order monster blood line demon rat that the Black Crow Sect once tried to cultivate, itself does not belong to a very strong type, even if it is fully grown, it cannot hunt large beasts such as grizzly bears, and more often it will dodge.

The signs in front of him were obvious, this large beast had no power to fight back, it was directly crushed, and then eaten alive, and judging from the dryness of the bloodstains, it was probably what happened in two hours.

After confirming this.

Xu Hongyu took out a small jade bottle from her pocket, gently poured out a drop of light cyan liquid from the jade bottle, and then slapped her right hand in the air, shaking this drop of 'rosemary' into a mist, and then pulled out a ribbon from her body and shook it gently, stirring the mist and absorbing it all.

"Let's go."

Xu Hongyu held the ribbon in her hand: "Although this should be the territory of the White Wolf Demon, there are no other monsters, but it is best not to use too much rosemary, and the concentration is moderately controlled, so as not to cause other accidents...... Why do you keep looking at me? ”

Chen Mu smiled and said, "I just think you are skillful and listening carefully to your guidance." ”

“…… It's just a little more experience. ”

Xu Hongyu looked away a little, and said a little unnaturally: "These are only used for demon hunting in ordinary times, if you encounter 'great cold', 'great drought', 'great tide', or even 'two days and days', 'eternal night' and other bad celestial phenomena, the whole earth will be in chaos, and you may directly bump into vicious monsters everywhere, and these methods will basically not be used." ”

Chen Mu listened to Xu Hongyu's words, showed a thoughtful expression, and said: "At the end of last year, it should have been the celestial phenomenon of the 'Great Cold', and then the last 'Great Drought' was five years ago...... As for the two days and the heavens, it seems that there has not been a case for decades, and I think that in the account of the Great Xuan Vision, these visions of heaven and earth do not have a very clear law. ”

He has experienced the big cold himself.

As for the major drought, the most recent one was four years ago, and this anomaly was not a long period of no rain, but a very short period of time when rivers dried up, wells bottomed out, and so on.

On the contrary, the water level of the river rises sharply, and the water from the wells will overflow, and it is often accompanied by fog, and the humid mist fills the sky and the earth, and it is almost impossible to find anything dry, and even the fire is difficult to rise.

Of course.

These are relatively general celestial phenomena, often once in a few years, the duration will not be very long, the biggest problem is the demon chaos caused by the celestial phenomena, some monsters are stimulated by the cold, some will be stimulated by drought, and then become manic, in the everywhere harmful, although there is a demon division to suppress, but in various places will still cause some disasters.

In comparison, the two days are a worse situation, according to the classics, when it happens, another red sun will rise in the sky that looks like a reflection in the water, and the types of monsters affected by this celestial phenomenon will be more diverse, and the scope will be broader.

As for the most terrifying, it is 'Eternal Night'.

According to the classics, when it happened, the sky was dark, the sun and the moon were dark, the earth was completely plunged into darkness, and monsters and nights were rampant in the world, and it would last for months or even half a year, not for a day or two.

"Well, the last time the two days were merged was fifty-seven years ago, and the eternal night was two hundred and forty-one years ago, if you want to talk about the law, the great cold and drought often happen once every few years, and the second day and the eternal night are much longer, many people are difficult to see in their lives, and we may not see them...... Oops. ”

Xiaohe followed behind Chen Mu and spoke in a pretty voice, but before he finished speaking, he suddenly screamed bitterly.

Boom!

A red mark appeared on Xiaohe's forehead, and he covered his head and looked at Chen Mu with teary eyes.

Chen Mu withdrew his finger angrily and said, "Don't talk nonsense!" What if God hears about it, what should I do if I punish him? ”

Xiaohe covered his forehead aggrievedly and said: "If God can punish me with a word, then how much evil I have done in my last life......"

Xu Hongyu looked at Xiaohe's appearance, the corners of her lips moved slightly for a while, her eyebrows were crooked, and she seemed to want to laugh a little, and said, "Okay, Xiaohe, don't talk nonsense, don't make jokes about God." ”

Among the characters of the three religions and nine streams, there seems to be a kind of fortune-telling liar, who will say something bad and can't read it, and if she thinks about it, she has never believed in these, even if there is a real number, it is not a few pretending Taoist priests and the like to calculate it, and it is rumored that there is a sect called 'Xuanji Pavilion' in the neighboring state, which can peek into the mysteries of heaven and earth, but I don't know whether it is true or false.

"Miss......"

Xiaohe looked at Xu Hongyu pitifully, and then looked at Chen Mu.

But at this moment, Chen Mu's ears suddenly moved slightly, his eyes suddenly changed from talking and laughing to calm, his footsteps stopped suddenly, and he turned his head to look in one direction, and said, "There is movement, it seems to be coming." ”

Xiaohe also suddenly restrained his jokes and became serious.

Xu Hongyu also stopped, and then seemed to notice something, her right hand shook slightly, and the soft sword had been pulled out by her, holding it in her hand, and her eyes became serious and solemn.

Finally.

There was a commotion in the distance between the jungles.

It seems that some ferocious monster has been rampaging all the way, and it has not yet appeared, but there is already a kind of turbulent momentum faintly coming, so that all the birds in the mountains and forests in the distance are startled, and they quacked and flew into the sky.
