Ye Xibai and Zhuang Jiuqing walked around Hu'er Town, walking and stopping, but they didn't find any signs of human activity, even the signs of animal activity were very few.

If nothing else, this Hu'er town has been abandoned for many years.

At night, there was silence between heaven and earth, as if everything was asleep, and in a forest not far from Hu'er Town, a bonfire of dry wood and dead wood burned.

The smoke from the firelight mixed with an enticing fragrance drifted away along the dim light.

Turning the branches in his hands from time to time, so that the rabbit meat in the front of the branches can be heated more fully and evenly, Zhuang Jiuqing, who was sitting on a stone, stared at the fire in front of him, and said suspiciously, "Lord Holy Son, there is nothing here, are we here to practice or something?"

Ye Xibai picked up the rabbit meat with an attractive fragrance, put it in front of his nose and smelled it, directly tore off a piece of rabbit leg, and began to chew.

After swallowing the rabbit meat in his mouth, Ye Xibai said, "This Hu'er Town is the closest town to Wangchuan Peak, and there are no people in a radius of hundreds of thousands of miles. ”

Zhuang Jiuqing scratched his head a little puzzled, "What does the Holy Son mean?"

Ye Xibai took a bite of the rabbit leg meat again before he said, "Therefore, it is impossible for the people of Hu'er Town to move away from Hu'er Town." ”

Zhuang Jiuqing frowned slightly, and said suspiciously, "Could it be that the monster was transmitted into the village and ate all the people in Hu'er Town?"

Looking at the blazing fire in front of him, one thing suddenly appeared in Ye Xibai's mind, and after the fire in his eyes flickered a few times, he said, "Before, I had an understanding that Hu'er Town is close to 100,000 mountains, and there are many fierce beasts and birds around, so it is often attacked and destroyed by these things. ”

"And every ten years, my Shaking Light Immortal Sect will send disciples down the mountain to maintain the formation to ensure that the formation can normally resist the attacks of demon beasts. Ye Xibai thought for a while, and then said, "I think, maybe the ten-year period is coming, and this time I went down the mountain to practice, it should be to strengthen the formation and add some other trials." ”

In the world of cultivating immortals, whether it is for beasts, birds, or other types of creatures, most of them have not been enlightened, so it is more difficult to cultivate, but if they cultivate, only by virtue of the strength of the physical body, they will generally be stronger than human immortal cultivators in the same realm.

If these creatures of beasts and birds reach the Qi Refining Realm, then they can't be called beasts or birds, but they can be called demon beasts and demon birds.

These demon beasts that can absorb spiritual power and cultivate to reach the foundation building realm have already cultivated some spiritual wisdom and have their own thinking and wisdom. Of course, this kind of thinking and intelligence cannot be compared to that of human beings.

And if you absorb more spiritual power, the cultivation of these demon beasts and demon birds will go one step further and reach the foundation building realm, most of the demon beasts and demon birds already have the same wisdom as normal people, and if they cultivate to a higher level, they can even speak out of their mouths.

The foundation building realm demon beasts and demon birds that can speak can never change the shape of their bodies, that is to say, the demon body cannot be changed. And if you have the cultivation of the sea realm, you can have the possibility of transforming into a human form. And at that time, the demon beasts, as well as the demon birds, or some other demons all had a common name, that is, demons.

"Now, there's no one in the town...... Could it be that everyone in the town has been eaten by the big demon?" Zhuang Jiuqing's brows furrowed even tighter, "And Elder Cui has already left this town, doesn't he mean...... Has the nature of this trial changed, or has the way it been done?"

"Hmm. Ye Xibai wiped the oil stains from the corners of his mouth, nodded, and said, "There is a possibility." ”

Zhuang Jiuqing's brows still did not stretch, and he continued, "Then why did Elder Cui leave us here? If a big demon appears, won't we even have a chance to escape." ”

"According to the degree of desolation of the courtyards above the town, Hu'er Town should have been abandoned for a few years. In other words, if Hu'er Town was attacked by a big demon, it should have been a few years ago. Ye Xibai threw the bone in his hand on the ground, and then ripped off another rabbit leg, "Besides, if there is any big demon nearby, with Elder Cui's cultivation of at least transforming the sea realm, he will definitely be able to detect it as soon as possible and take us away." ”

After Ye Xibai swallowed the food in his mouth, he continued, "And now, Elder Cui didn't leave with us, which means that he shouldn't have noticed any big demon aura. ”

"That's right. Zhuang Jiuqing nodded thoughtfully, and his frowning brows slowly stretched, "Then there shouldn't be any danger here." ”

"I only said that Elder Cui may not have felt the aura of the Great Demon. Ye Xibai didn't continue to eat, but turned his gaze to Zhuang Jiuqing, and said coldly, "I didn't say that there must be none." ”

Zhuang Jiuqing clenched the branch in his hand a little tighter, and said, "Is there really a big demon?"

If ordinary people come here, they may not encounter the big demon and other accidents, but the protagonist comes here...... Not to mention the big demon of the Huahai realm, it is the big demon of the Jindan Yuanying realm, it is all possible.

Who called the protagonist here?

If something doesn't appear, who's going to be reading the book?

"I don't know. Ye Xibai didn't show any worried look on his face, but asked calmly, "However, one thing is for sure, something is wrong here." ”

"Something is wrong?"

"Hmm. Ye Xibai replied softly and said, "When we caught rabbits, did you find anything unusual?"

"When you catch rabbits......" Zhuang Jiuqing muttered quietly, trying to recall the scene when he caught rabbits in his mind, but he never came up with a reason, "It's normal, as soon as I caught it, I caught it." It is...... It's been a bit long to find rabbits. ”

Ye Xibai shook his head helplessly, raised his eyebrows slightly, and continued, "Then think about it again and see if there is anything abnormal now?"

Zhuang Jiuqing, who was frowning, stuck the branch with the rabbit in his hand on the ground, and then sat up from the stone and looked around.

After a long time, Zhuang Jiuqing slapped his head and said, "I know, it's too quiet here." ”

"Hmm. ”

Ye Xibai nodded with satisfaction.

This forest is incomparably lush, towering ancient trees stand everywhere, ravines are also vertical and horizontal, more importantly, here is very close to the 100,000 mountains, wild beasts infested frequently, not to mention the night, even during the day, you can often hear the tiger roaring ape, the warbler flying fish swimming, but now, not only did you not see or hear the beast and the beast's cry when catching rabbits during the day, even at night, you did not hear or see.

It can be said that Ye Xibai and the others can catch three rabbits, which is already a great element of luck here.

Before, Zhuang Jiuqing didn't expect it, but now, after Ye Xibai's little touch, Zhuang Jiuqing suddenly felt that in the summer breeze around him, it seemed to be ...... There was a hint of coldness.

"Isn't there really any danger around???

Thinking in his heart, Zhuang Jiuqing began to look around again.
