Leaving the mountain city, several people stood in a mountain forest, looking at the mountain city in the distance to discuss the next action.

"Brother Dao, use the Qi Hope Technique to check if there is anything abnormal nearby?" Ying Wuxin suggested.

Li Zhengdao nodded, his eyes were shining with golden light, he looked around, and after a while, his eyes returned to normal, and he sighed slightly: "There is no abnormality." ”

"My wind hearing technique didn't hear anything unusual, and it seems that I want to find the four-legged creature from last night, so I can only continue to wait. "There should be no heart.

"How long will it take. Sun Xiaoman asked eagerly.

"It shouldn't be long, last night at dinner, I listened to it, there are still a lot of old people in the village, all of them are playing with their grandchildren, indicating that they are definitely not young, but how long to wait, this is really hard to say, maybe a few days, maybe a few months, or a year or two is possible. ”

Everyone was silent for a while, but there was no other way at present, Li Zhengdao's Qi Hope Technique couldn't be seen, and Ying Wu's Wind Listening Technique didn't work, Sun Xiaoman could track down the smell, but there was a strange smell near this mountain city, and she couldn't smell the breath of the four-legged creature last night.

Li Zhengdao pondered for a moment and said, "It's useless to be anxious now, let's find a place to wait quietly." ”

Both women were a little disappointed, obviously worried about the situation of the old man who had been taken away.

Wang Banxian suddenly exclaimed: "Hey, have you noticed a strange place, the mountain city will only send away the old people in his village who are close to fifty, but he doesn't have any thoughts about other people, I am in my fifties, and I don't look young, they don't look at me at all." ”

Everyone was stunned, this is really the case.

Li Zhengdao thought for a while and said, "Maybe the residents in their village are different from outsiders, so they don't care about outsiders in the slightest. ”

Ying Wuxin said: "If this is the case, it is even more strange, the four-legged creature last night is obviously a large beast, it came to take the old man away, no accident, it must be to eat it." Since the beasts use humans as food, how can they care if you are a person from the village or an outsider. ”

"But what happened last night, they all seemed to have agreed, they just took away the old people in the village, and they didn't think about the half-immortals, and the beast came all the way and went directly to the door of Shi Fusheng's house, as if they had known the road for a long time, and they had already known that there was an old man who was almost fifty years old in their family, didn't this seem too weird, what kind of beast would act like this, how did it know that there were old people in Shi Fusheng's house?"

Li Zhengdao's eyes lit up and said: "Maybe there is a person behind the four-legged creature, and the villagers are all communicating with him, and this person obviously trains beasts, and the lynx we killed before may be the animal he trained." ”

The others were silent for a while, so it seemed that the Bright Light Messenger might be making trouble behind them.

"One more thing, why can't you reach the age of fifty?" Ying Wuxin said: "I listened to the meaning of Shi Fusheng's words, and I believe in this rule very much, and there is a huge fear in this belief, as if he knows that once the rules are broken, it will cause a great disaster. ”

"But what calamity can an old man who is nearly fifty years old cause?"

Li Zhengdao frowned slightly, thought for a while, and said: "This calamity may not be in people, but in those four-legged creatures, the people behind them do not allow the existence of old people over fifty years old in the mountain city. ”

"That can only be known if we find out the truth. "There should be no heart.

"Rest for a while, we'll stand guard during the day, and you two at night. Sun Xiaoman proposed.

Originally, this work was all for two men, but now they have to watch it day and night, Sun Xiaoman still feels a little sorry for his senior brother, so he took the initiative to propose.

Li Zhengdao and Ying Wuxin smiled and nodded in agreement.

At noon, a few people simply ate some dry food, and then dispersed, resting and resting, standing guard, and cultivating.

In the afternoon, everything was still as usual, and the villagers in the mountain city did not go out.

In the evening, in the first half of the night, Li Zhengdao kept vigil, and when it was close to midnight, he handed over the task to Ying Wuxin.

You should not listen to the wind technique and listen to the surrounding movements, thanks to the barren mountains near the mountain city, even if there are mountains and forests in other places, they are relatively sparse, and there is no pine forest that feels like the endless sound of the waves, so that the wind listening technique can still be performed here.

I listened boredly to the sounds of the evening in the mountains, the cries of animals, the slight howling of the mountain wind, the breaking of branches, and a few other sounds.

Puff puff.

The heavy voice appeared on the steps in front of the mountain city again, and Ying was unintentionally excited, engrossed in it, listened carefully to the next movement, and gently woke Li Zhengdao up, signaling him to look at the entrance of the mountain city.

Several people hid in a ravine, and could only see an area in front of the entrance of the mountain city, Li Zhengdao got up and looked at it intently.

At this time, the night is dark, the stars and the moon are dim, but the night is not too dark, and you can still vaguely see the outline of something in the distance.

I saw a huge black shadow appear in front of the boulder portal of the mountain city, with a single horn on its head, about a foot long, the thickness of a rolling pin, the head is relatively large, a bit like a cow's head, and the body is also very tall, but compared with the limbs, the body looks more symmetrical, and there is no feeling of a cow's big belly and thin legs.

This kind of one-horned creature, Li Zhengdao said goodbye to seeing it, even if he had never heard of it, he continued to observe it at the moment.

However, when the unicorn creature burrowed into the portal behind the boulder, its body was obscured by the boulder, and it was no longer visible.

Li Zhengdao was a little annoyed, but he had no choice but to continue to wait, while waking up the two junior sisters and Wang Banxian.

Now that the four-legged creature has appeared, they are going to follow it next, and naturally five people will act together.

Wang Banxian woke up in a daze, and it took a while to understand the situation, and immediately carried the wooden box and stood beside Li Zhengdao.

After a while, Ying Wuxin whispered, "It's here." ”

Everyone looked at the giant stone portal of the mountain castle, and sure enough, they saw a huge black shadow with a single horn appear, and after a while, it disappeared behind the black shadow of the trees in front of them.

"Keep up. Li Zhengdao took Wang Banxian and flew forward, and Ying Wuxin followed, Sun Xiaoman, and Bai Miaozhen.

When they arrived near the foot of the mountain at the foot of the mountain castle, everyone happened to see a black shadow with a single horn coming down, changing directions, and walking to the side.

The people followed, and the one-horned creature burrowed into the forest, and walked inside, not hurrying or slow, still with a popping sound.

Ying Wuxin realized that this creature may not be a creature with meat pads on the soles of the feet of tigers, but may be more like the feet of cows and horses, and they will make such a sound when they walk.

The unicorn creature below weaves through the forest, crossing a large mountain and changing direction towards a ravine.

The five men followed, flying over the trees, bringing only a slight sound of the wind.

Passing through a ravine, the woods behind it end here, and beyond that all the barren slopes lead to the area behind the mountain town.

The unicorn creature bit a person in its mouth, and continued to move forward, and everyone looked at the direction, and it turned out to be the back of the mountain city.

This seemed a bit bizarre, but everyone could only suppress the doubts in their hearts and quietly follow again.

The one-horned creature in front didn't seem to notice it at all, and led a few people all the way into a stone forest, and in the dim night, the stone forest was like a dry tree trunk like black shadows standing in the dark, like a group of guards.

Ying Wuxin touched it when he walked by, and unexpectedly found that this was not an ordinary stone, but a petrified tree, and the surface had been jadeized.

Looking at the dense black shadows in front of him, thinking of the value of these things, Ying Wuxin felt a burst of heat, and his heart had already begun to think about taking some out when he left.

However, this is deep in the mountains, and you have to take a lot of it out, even if you are a Taoist, it may not be easy, and the value of this thing is not as good as a good jade, so you should be a little entangled in your heart, whether to bring it or not.

"It's here. Li Zhengdao, who was in front, suddenly made a pause gesture and said softly.

Everyone stopped and looked forward, only to see a pair of green eyes appear behind the black shadows, some big and some small, all in pairs.

Everyone quietly approached the past, and saw that under the night, a clearing appeared in front of them, and a one-horned creature stood there, a foot high, with a body four or five meters long, about a dozen, and there were some smaller creatures next to them, which looked big and small, and some of them did not have a single horn on their heads, and they looked like their cubs.

In the middle of this group of creatures, there are three people lying on the ground.

There was a pop sound, and an animal that was obviously larger than the other unicorns approached, looking at the three people on the ground with bright eyes, and turned its head to let out a low roar at the other unicorns, and the other unicorns also roared in response.

The little guys on the side also roared, struggling to rush to the middle, but they were stopped by the big one-horned guy next to them.

The largest one-horned creature was obviously the leader, and with another roar, the three-headed one-horned creature came out and walked in front of the three people, opening its big mouth, full of sharp canine teeth, and in the dark night, it glowed with a white light.

"Senior sister protects the three of them. ”

Li Zhengdao snorted softly, flew forward, and slashed the long sword in his hand downward.

Boom –

A huge breath bombarded down.

"Hundred mirrors. ”

Bai Miaozhen cast a spell behind his back, condensing a transparent crystal to form a prison and enveloping all three people on the ground.

Rumble.

The powerful aura bombarded the prison made of crystals, and the three-headed unicorn creature that opened its mouth and retreated in bursts.

Roar.

The leader of the unicorn let out a roar and slammed into the prison in anger, his head hanging down, revealing a sharp one-horned horn.

However, the breath that bombarded the prison turned into a violent wind and rushed in all directions, so strong that the huge unicorn creature staggered and had to retreat gradually.
