Volume 1 Beginning to Cultivate the Truth Chapter 23 The Mysterious Man Appears

Since yesterday there was a blacksmith man missing in the town, the people in the town have become panicked again.

Once, the people in the town didn't care too much about the strange things that happened in the town, the missing people, after all, the missing people were just evil people.

However, just yesterday, a loyal and honest young man disappeared mysteriously.

This shows that the strange thing in the town is not that God is not accustomed to seeing wicked people rampant and punishing them, but that there are ghosts and monsters in the mountains.

As soon as this result came out, the city was full of wind and rain, and everyone in the town was in danger.

For a while, the town did not have the hustle and bustle of the past, and the once prosperous street was no one at this time, and the shops around were closed without a sound, as if it was a deserted street.

It's just that there are broken wooden planks everywhere on the ground, or broken fruits, or overturned hawker stalls.

Obviously, those people left in a hurry.

Looking at the streets, there were notices posted everywhere, and Ye Xuan and Xin'er walked slowly on the street.

It has been five days since the first person disappeared, and in these five days, someone will be missing every day, Ye Xuan and the others are also tired of coping, every time they sense the slightest demonic aura, Ye Xuan and the others rush to the accident site, but every time Ye Xuan and the others are one step late.

Regarding this, Ye Xuan was also a little helpless, "I didn't expect this demon to be so cunning, he didn't meet us at all, and he caught someone and ran away." ”

"yes, nerd, I think we should find a way, we can't be so passive anymore, we should take the initiative. A few times of running short made Xin'er, who had always been calm, a little bored.

"There's no hurry, we don't know much about monsters, and if we break in so rashly, we may suffer. It's better to wait and at least catch the perpetrator first. Touching Xin'er's head, Ye Xuan said.

"Wait, five people are already missing. If we wait, it is estimated that more people will go missing, after all, we don't know the psychology of the demon, let alone what standard he uses to arrest people. This makes us very passive. Gently pulling a strand of hair, Xin'er said.

"Ha, why didn't I think of it?" Hearing Xin'er's words, Ye Xuan suddenly thought of the word standard, and said, "Yes, we don't understand the psychology of the devil, but we can find the common characteristics of the missing people, so that we can wait for the devil to appear first." Haha, Xin'er, you're so smart. ”

"Hmm, what did you come up with?" asked Xin'er.

"Xin'er, do you remember the information about the five missing people? There are five missing people, and four of them were born on the lunar day of the lunar year, so I deduced that the devil's target is those born in the small town. If we find these people and keep watching, we will catch up with them in time and intercept them, no matter which one the devil catches. ”

Thinking of this, Ye Xuan knew that his idea might be a little hasty, but it was also the most appropriate way at the moment.

After listening to Ye Xuan's words, Xin'er nodded and said, "This is indeed a good way, but have you noticed that there is another person among the five who was not born on the lunar day of the lunar year, why is he?"

"I know a little bit about that person, he is the one who called the young master's subordinate we met on the day we just arrived. Although he was not born on a lunar day, his date of birth was also a lunar year, and we don't need to pay too much attention to this, after all, four of the five people chosen by the devil were born on a lunar year. That is, he needs to capture at least five of the same people. Ye Xuan said.

Xin'er nodded and agreed with Ye Xuan's statement.

Suddenly, Ye Xuan's face was full of murderous aura, and he instantly flew towards the north of the town, and Xin'er saw this and hurriedly followed.

In the northern part of the town, there is a single-family hunter, where two hunters, one large and one small, live.

It was rumored that the Great Hunter was once a resident of the town, and was expelled from the town by the people of the town after he was killed in a fight.

The big hunter had no choice but to move out of the town, so he could only build a small wooden house at the foot of the mountain near Beishan and live a simple life.

As for the little hunter, it was the outcast that the big hunter picked up in the town.

When he was very young, he was bullied by fellow beggars, and because he had a pair of red pupils, which the townspeople thought was an ominous sign, he was tied up and ready to be burned to death.

However, because of the persistence of the Great Hunter, the people kept him, but they were forbidden to enter the town.

In this way, two unfortunate people lived together, and with the company of the little hunter, the life of the big hunter changed a lot, and he carefully taught the little hunter how to hunt and how to survive.

Living at the foot of the mountain, the Great Hunter did not know about the missing people in the town.

He still teaches the little hunter survival skills every day, and after more than ten years of training, the little hunter has grown into an adult, and his hunting method is more unique and accurate. Every time you will return with a full load.

On this day, the little hunter, as in the past, took up his homemade bow and arrows and firewood knives, equipped himself with all the things that could be foreseen in the hunt, looked at the old hunter sitting in front of the door, did not speak, and turned away.

Seeing the departure of the little hunter, the old hunter smiled "hehe" and said, "It's been more than ten years, and it's still like this, all the hunting methods have been handed over to you, why haven't you learned how to speak?"

The old hunter sat in front of the door, thinking about the days spent with the little hunter for more than ten years. He had no family, and before he met the little hunter, he thought that he would be alone for the rest of his life.

But I didn't expect to meet the little hunter, after more than ten years of getting along, the old hunter has already treated the little hunter as his own child, took care of him, and taught him seriously.

Thinking about it, the old hunter smiled endlessly.

Just as he was reminiscing about the past days, he suddenly felt a chill all over his body, and the sensitivity he had cultivated after years of hunting made him hurriedly roll to the side.

With a "snap", the chair the old hunter had been sitting in before was reduced to pieces.

"Quack, the old guy can actually dodge my lock. However, even if you can dodge, you will not be able to escape today. I advise you to come with me obediently. and that they shall not suffer from flesh and skin. A voice rang out.

"Yes, who is it?" For the unknown enemy, the old hunter showed rich hunting ability, and was careful to guard against it.

"Oops, there's no time left for you. As the voice spoke, the old hunter felt a chill all over his body again, and saw a wooden vine firmly bind him.

Struggling to break free from the control of the vines, the old hunter found that the vines were so tough that no matter how much he struggled, he couldn't break free.

"Stop struggling, alright. It's time for us to go. The voice said.

Then, a crack suddenly opened in the ground, and wooden vines rushed out like black snakes, pulling the old hunter into the cracks.

On a big tree not far from the old hunter, a man in a black robe stood between the trunks, and his whole body was covered by the black robe, and he could only see a pair of red pupils, flickering. "Truly, awrely. ”

Looking at the disappeared old hunter, the black-robed man turned around and was about to leave.

Suddenly, a cold shout came from behind him, "Stop." ”

Turning around, a young man dressed as a hunter stood there, holding a bow and arrow in his hand, aiming at him at this time. Seeing his appearance, the black-robed man smiled and said, "Boy, what's the matter?"

The person who appeared was the little hunter who had just left, and he had just left, but he heard a noise from the house, so he came back to take a look, but he didn't expect that there was no trace of the old hunter at home, but only cracks in the ground and a black-robed man in a big tree not far away.

As if he was not good at words, he said with some obscure syllables, "Old man, return me." ”

The black-robed man smiled and said, "If you don't pay it back, what can you do to me?"

Listening to the words of the black-robed man, the little hunter was anxious.

At this moment, he felt a warm current from his heart, through his own blood, to his arm, and then poured into the bow and arrow in his hand, and the arrow infused by the warm current seemed to burn, and a blood-red flame appeared.

In just an instant, the little hunter seemed to have been drained of all his strength, and with a shake of his hands, the feathered arrows in his hands galloped out.

Feeling the unusual aura on the little hunter's body, the black-robed man hurriedly waved his hand, and a black mist blocked in front of him.

Wow, the flaming feather arrow flew into the black mist in an instant, and then the black mist rolled for a while, the face of the man in black changed greatly, the feather arrow flew out, and the heart of the man in black robe couldn't help but tremble. In a hurry, a wall of wooden vines appeared in front of the black-robed man.

At the moment when the wooden vine wall first appeared, the flaming feather arrow easily shot through it.

Then, the feather arrow continued to shoot at the black-robed man, and the feather arrow hit the black-robed man's arm, turning into sawdust in the sky.

Seeing that his feather arrow did not succeed in killing the black-robed man, the little hunter was unwilling, raised his head, and slowly fell.

Just now, the black-robed man clearly felt that the arrow just now was enough to kill him in an instant.

If that arrow hadn't been made of ordinary wood, I'm afraid I'd really die here.

Looking at the unconscious little hunter, the black-robed man waved his hand, only to see a wooden vine flying out of his hand, stabbing the little hunter directly.

Just as Mu Teng was about to stab the little hunter, a sword qi suddenly flew from the side, instantly cutting off Mu Teng.

Then another golden light flashed, and I saw a few small flags appear next to the little hunter, obviously it was a guardian formation.

"Hey, it's so hard to find you. Second Master" A voice sounded.

The black-robed man turned his head and looked at Ye Xuan and the others who flew from the town, instead of running away as usual, but were wrapped in wooden vines, waiting for the arrival of Ye Xuan and the others.
