After visiting the four septuagenarians, it was already past nine o'clock in the evening, and the old man woke up early, if it was a young man in the city, it would be the same as the evening, and going to bed in the early morning was the king! But the village had already gone to bed early, and the old man was even more so, so I didn't bother it, so I left early.

The four ninety-year-old men, except for the first one, and the old man Zhao from the east of the village, the rest did not participate in the forest time, but they still knew the legend of the mountain god passed down by the older generation. The version, after all, is a legend, and some details are different, and everyone's words are different, but it's roughly the same.

I have also thought carefully about why the legend of the mountain god has not been handed down, there should be two main reasons, one is because of the opposition to superstition, people's minds began to evolve, and some legends began to fade;

I think that those monkeys, even the cyan ones, do not speak human words, and whatever threats they say are all conjured up out of fear out of thin air, and because of the majesty of the mountain gods, they may hallucinate words like "Do not spread this matter, or you will be punished".

As a result, because of this, there was a fault in this legend in their generation, although they would still believe that there was a mountain god, but they didn't dare to tell others about it. This time, such a big thing happened, and I mentioned that I wanted to go to the forest, so he said about the mountain god in fear.

"What now, sir?" asked Baron.

"I don't know, mountain god...... Now this white-haired monster is enough of a headache, it would be better if these two things could be solved together, forget it, let's take one step at a time, no matter what, we can't go to Boom tonight, let's rest quickly, and set off into the forest tomorrow morning, you go and arrange for tonight's group patrol, take turns to rest, and prevent the monster from attacking the village at night. ”

"Yes, also, do you need to hand over Yin Kai for them to come here?"

"Hmm...... No, there's only one white-haired monster here, maybe it's just a small bottle stuck around like last time, we're looking for all the goods, don't contact them, just let them get on with their work. ”

"Yes, sir. ”

......

At three o'clock in the morning, the people of Liujia Village fell asleep, and I lived in a temporary shelter, sleeping while running the mana in my body to prepare for tomorrow's action. I cultivate, I don't need to meditate cross-legged like in the TV series, I just have to live a normal life, even if I sleep, my cultivation can continue. Not only that, but getting enough sleep can also keep me in a good mental state.

The members of the Shadow Army slept in a large room, and ten of them had woken up, sorting out their clothes and checking their weapons, as it was about to be their turn to patrol. Originally, I also wanted more people to patrol, but it was still a bit insufficient for ten people to patrol a village, but there was no way, so I took these people with me, and in order to maintain my mental state, I had to take turns to rest, so I had to divide into groups.

"When it's time, they're going to come back, and the chief said that we can't let there be a vacancy in the village, we have to go out early, let's go." The man who was the captain straightened his hat and opened the door first, and walked out, and everyone around him followed and walked out of the house.

This is indeed what I ordered, I want to ensure the safety of the village, but if I wait for the first team to come back and send another team out, then there will be a gap in patrols for a while, and then there may be danger, so I specially remind them to be sure that the other team will leave before the first team comes back. But......

"Ah——!h

A scream pierced the sky and broke the silence of the early morning.

"What's going on?!" I sat up from my bed and rushed straight outside - I slept with my clothes on to make sure I could respond in case of an emergency.

Beside him, "Huh-" The two figures flashed, and Balon and Lang Feng had already arrived at their side, with solemn expressions.

"Mr. ......"

"Don't ask me, hurry up and see, what's wrong, and where are the patrols, go quickly!"

"Yes!"

The two figures flashed again, and the two had disappeared.

Actually, my arrangement is reasonable, but it's really useless, Liujia Village is such a big village, and it is surrounded by mountains and many woods, that monster appears in one place at random, and there are only ten people patrolling, even if two teams appear together, twenty people can't prevent it!

However, the people of the Shadow Army are not vegetarians, and the interior should be safe, and the dangerous ones should be mainly the outer area.

Thinking so, my body moved, and the teleportation was immediately used at a high frequency, and I ran directly towards the edge of the village......

......

"It's ...... The beast has escaped! The beast has escaped from the woods!"

On the outskirts of the village, in a house near the woods, an old woman collapsed on the bed in her bedroom, the sheets and quilt were already red, and her eyes were wide open, as if she had seen something terrible. The other one, a middle-aged man, fell not far from the door of the house, apparently trying to escape, but before he could run to the door, he was overtaken.

Many neighbors gathered here because of this commotion, and the scars on the man and the old woman were obviously scratched by the teeth and claws of wild beasts, and it was clear who the murderer was. The young men who had come to the adventure heard that wild beasts were hurting people, and they all hurried over.

Because their companion had just died, they couldn't sleep at all, and they were awakened at the slightest movement in a half-asleep night, baking cakes back and forth on the bed, let alone screaming so terriblely.

"It's them! No wild beast has ever come out to hurt people before, and it's because of them that they have attracted the beast!"

The person who shouted was a young man who looked to be in his twenties, he was also a relative of the family, because of the Chinese New Year, every family was a large number of relatives, and those outside the village had also returned, but some did not live in the same courtyard.

This time, it was his two elders and relatives who died, and the degree of anger can be imagined! And he was right, it really hadn't happened before, but it was so coincidental that after the group of people explored, apart from this kind of thing, he had no way to find the beast to pay for his life, so he could only vent his anger to them.

"What do you say? We are to blame for this? Why don't you say that our companion is also dead?" the woman was not happy at the time, and immediately cried out.

"Okay, okay, what's the noise, don't shout, calm down!"

The Shadow Army men stood between the two groups and quickly cordoned off the scene to investigate the situation. In the bedroom, I had teleported in advance and came to the bedroom window, looking carefully at the broken window frame.

Obviously, the thing rushed in through the window, because it was winter, the window was closed, not to mention that it had no intelligence, and even if it did, it couldn't open a locked window from the outside, so it had to rush in violently, and the broken glass and broken window frames scattered across the room.

The beds in the village are actually basically kangs, which are built against the wall, so the thing rushed into the window, fell directly on the bed, raised his hand and pawed, and solved the old woman first. Because the movement was too loud, it alarmed the man, but the monster didn't care at all, and rushed out directly, wanting to take a double kill.

The man was not reckless, he knew that he couldn't beat him, and he wanted to run out for help, not only the neighbors but also the Shadow Army outside, so it was safe to go out. But his speed couldn't catch up with the monster, and he was finally chased from behind only a little bit from the door, and he fell to the ground with a claw.

And then what?

"Which of you saw that monster...... Beasts?" I shouted as I walked to the door.

"Beast...... Ah, I seem to see it!" said one of the onlookers, thinking for a moment.

"What does it look like, where did you run from, where did you run away?"

"What do you look like...... It was too dark for me to see, it looked like I had run through the door, going that way!" he said, gesturing in a direction.

"From the door...... I looked at the door, indeed, there are traces of destruction, probably because this door lock is too rubbish, and it has been used for too long, and it will be broken when it hits, but it protects the door itself, the door is opened normally, and the monster ran out, and the damage is only the lock and a small part of the area.

"Follow me!"

I shouted, directly used Taiming Step, and ran in the direction that the man pointed, until I reached the periphery of the forest, behind me, Balon, Lang Feng, and a group of members of the Shadow Army also followed quickly, and soon came to my side.

"Strange, why are there no footprints?" I frowned as I looked at the snow on the ground.

Because there are few animals in the forest in winter, few hunters will go up the mountain to hunt at this time, and they will suffer from their own crimes, and they will not get anything good, so the snow should be very clean, I thought at the time, the monster is coming, it will definitely get out of the footprints, only it has been in and out of the forest recently, the footprints should be very clear, follow the footprints and maybe you will find something, but I didn't expect that my plan failed.

"No, sir, look there!" said Baron, gesturing to a place.

When I looked over, he was not referring to the earth, but to the heavens, and when I looked closely, he was not referring to the heavens, but to the branches of the trees that ran through the sky.

In the winter, the leaves of the trees have fallen off, and the branches are very clear, and there is a lot of snow on them, but I found that almost directly opposite the branch, there is suddenly a piece of snow missing!

It was like a group of tall people standing in a group of small people, and it was nothing at eye level, but if you stood on a high place and looked at it, you would see that in the middle of the crowd, that place was a little vacant, like a pit on the ground.

I set up the Sky Control Technique and flew to the branch to take a look, and sure enough, from the traces, I could see that I had been caught by my hands!

Looking up again, there are many tree branches ahead, and the snow on them is like this, stretching all the way to the depths.

Could it be ...... That monster was originally a monkey?!

A monkey monster came to attack the house, because they like to move on trees, so there are no footprints on the ground, and the legendary mountain god is also in the shape of a monkey!

It's a pity that the man didn't see the characteristics of this thing, and now I know that there are two kinds of things here, one is the white-haired monster, which the explorer saw, and the other is the monkey, a green-haired one eighty years ago...... It should have died early by now, but it is not excluded that there will be offspring. Which of them is the one who came this time?

And so on, and there's an explanation, they're the same! The cyan monkey happened to pick up the bottle, and the cyan fur turned white.

This also makes sense, and in this way, things are simple, and the two things can be solved at one time!

"Shadow Army Elite Squad!"

"Yes!"

"Immediately, follow me into the woods!"

"Yes!"

"Sir!" Baron exclaimed at once. "It's only three o'clock in the morning, and it's in their favor!"

"I know, but I can't wait, I waited before because I thought they wouldn't take the initiative, but now it's not going to work, we can't just defend, we have to attack!"

"Then we'll be together. ”

"No!" I stopped. "You and Lang Feng stay, the contact area between this village and the forest is too large! I took the elite team away, leaving only one team to protect, I still don't feel at ease, I feel at ease with you, those things are beasts, they are more flexible than us in the woods, and the danger factor of the village will increase! Since I came, I must be responsible for the safety of this village, and you must protect this place." ”

"But ......"

"Don't worry," I said. "We can still connect with each other, can we? Besides, I have an amulet. ”
