Chapter 1: The Demon Beast Strikes
Longyan Continent North Xuan Domain, Glacier Village.
In the cold winter, the moon is covered in silver, the earth is vast, and everything is dressed in a snow-white coat. A few birds cowered over the bare branches, looking at a flockful of children below.
The older one is more than ten years old, the younger one is three or four years old, and there are slugs on the nose, and the red nose is sucked hard, and the whole snot is sucked back again. Running with two little short legs as hard as he could, his little hands that were red from the cold still held two snowballs tightly, and smashed them hard at the running child in front of him.
"Giggle...... Hit, I hit, I hit my brother!"
A little girl with two ponytails screamed happily, and the crisp laughter spread wantonly in the cold wind, but before she could close her mouth, a snowball hit her head, and the scattered snow dripping fell into her mouth, and a cool cold air spread in her mouth.
The boy in front of him smiled, shook his red palm, and ran away quickly.
"Bah, bah, bah", the little girl tried to spit out the snow slag in her mouth, but only spit out a little saliva.
"Stinky brother, bully, Xue'er ignores you", the little girl angrily grabbed a handful of snowballs and smashed them hard at the boy who ran away. Then he walked angrily to the dry and cold old locust tree, and glanced to the side, not looking at the boy.
"Stupid monkey, I still want to use this trick, hehe, no way", the boy who stopped laughed, bent down, grabbed a snowball and smashed it at the little girl under the tree.
The little girl bent down and dodged a menacing ball,
"Bang ......", the snowball hit the old tree trunk behind it, a pile of snow slag fell, the little girl who smashed her head was full of face, a few snowflakes drilled into the back of her neck, and a cold air instantly spread all over her body.
The little girl stomped her feet, ran away from the tree as fast as she could, shook off the snowflakes on her body, glared fiercely at the little boy who was smiling evilly in the distance, and was angry when she thought about it, grabbed a handful of snowballs and ran after the boy.
"Hehe, what a stupid monkey" The boy grabbed a snowball and smashed it hard at the little girl, the little girl was startled, twisted her small waist, ran to the side, and the snowball in her hand smashed towards the boy, the snowball drew a parabola in the air, and then landed steadily, splashing snowflakes on the ground, but there were still two or three feet away from the little boy.
The little girl was unwilling to grab a snowball again and ran to the boy, but she ran too quickly, her feet slipped, and she fell into a big horse monkey, the boy was startled, threw away the snowball in his hand, ran forward quickly, and raised his hand to help the little girl.
A sly smile flashed in the eyes of the little girl with her little head down, and she grabbed a snowball and smashed it at the boy.
"Giggle...... Brother has been tricked!" The little girl got up and smiled happily, but the snowball in her hand kept smashing at the boy.
The little boy bent down and grabbed a handful of snowballs, smashed them at the little girl, and then ran away, laughing and saying, "Stupid monkey, always cheating, I won't take you to play next time." ”
"Giggle...... It's my brother who is stupid, and I blame Cher" The little girl shrugged her little nose and smiled proudly, her big black grape-like eyes bent like a crescent moon when she laughed, and she was so cute.
"Xue'er, Yu'er, come back for dinner!" a loving voice sounded under the eaves not far away. A woman in sackcloth stood in front of the door, holding a bowl of rice in her hand, and the rising heat wafted into the air, emitting an enticing aroma.
"Let's go, stupid monkey, go back to dinner," the little boy Fang Yu shook the snowflakes on his body, rubbed his hands, took a breath of hot air, and walked towards the front of the house.
The little girl Fang Xue'er threw away the snowball in her hand, patted her red and frozen little hands, and chased after Fang Yu.
"Snow wolves are attacking the village...... Everyone, run......"
A childish voice sounded, and I don't know which child first came to the snow wolf running in the distance.
Fang Yu was startled, and looked back, a group of snow-white wolves were rushing towards this side, not to mention twenty or thirty of them, the snow-white fur and the world seemed to be integrated, the running hooves splashed the snowflakes all over the sky, the green eyes exuded a compelling cold light, making a thunderous sound, and the momentum was violent.
"Xue'er, run, the damn snow wolf is coming" Fang Yu roared urgently, turned back, picked up Fang Xue'er, and ran quickly towards the village.
"Knock knock knock......" The wind was blowing under the snow wolf's hooves, running faster and faster, and the corners of his open mouth were covered with snow-white haras, Fang Yu seemed to be able to feel the strong wind brought by the snow wolf's running.
"Brother, run, leave Xue'er alone," Seeing that the snow wolf was about to catch up, Fang Xue'er shouted anxiously.
Fang Yu was in a hurry, picked up Fang Xue'er and staggered Fang Xue'er, and ran forward desperately, the green tendons on his neck were raised, and he bit his lip tightly.
"Ah......h
A miserable scream sounded, Fang Yu didn't dare to look back, it was estimated that which unlucky guy was caught by the snow wolf, he held Fang Xue'er tightly in his arms, and ran desperately towards the village, there are gods in the village to guard, which can stop these damn snow wolves.
The snow wolf will come to the village every winter to fight the autumn wind, this guy has rough skin and thick meat, ordinary knives and axes can't hurt it at all, the key is that this guy is cold and cold, what to eat, every time the village is in a mess, simply can rely on the protection of the statue to hide in the village, the snow wolf wanders for a while, can not attack the village, will leave, or the village is estimated to have been Huo Huo Guang a long time ago.
"Yu'er, run," shouted the woman standing under the eaves anxiously, and the rice bowl in her hand had fallen to the ground and rolled away.
There was a rush of chickens and dogs jumping in the village, adults rushing and shouting, and several men with knives and axes were about to rush out to save the children, but they were stopped by more villagers, and the uneven roars of the women resounded throughout the village. Children kept running into the village, and more screams were heard from behind.
The snow wolf that was running in front was about to catch up with Shang Yu, the howling wind blew his cheeks painfully, Fang Yu's eyes were split, his eyes were red, he gritted his teeth fiercely, and threw Fang Xue'er in his arms to the village hard, and fell to the ground violently, and then a donkey rolled and rolled to the side.
The snow wolf behind "Bang ......" pounced fiercely at Fang Yu's position just now, and all the snowflakes splashed hit this guy's head, the snow wolf shook his body, and then quickly pounced on Fang Yu.
"Get out of the way, brute" Fang Yu didn't have time to dodge this, he subconsciously grabbed a snowball and smashed it at the snow wolf, the snowball hit the snow wolf's eyes, the snow slag splashed in the eyes, the snow wolf slowed down steeply, Fang Yu stiffened a carp, stood up and ran into the village.
"Ah, brother, you're okay, it's great!" Fang Xue'er was the first to run over, her little face was pale, and her big black grape-like eyes were red at this time, and pearls were still dripping down.
"Yu'er" An eager voice sounded, and the woman in sackcloth ran close and took Fang Yu into her arms, "You stupid child!
"Mother, I'm fine!" Fang Yu left the woman's arms, shook his head and said, "Didn't this group of beasts come last time, why did they come again today?"
The woman shook her head with red eyes and said, "Yesterday, I heard from your Second Uncle Fang that there has been a lot of movement in the mountains these days, and he didn't dare to collect the clamps in the mountains. ”
Fang Yu frowned, Second Uncle Fang is an old hunter in the village, skilled, he goes to the mountains every winter to dig traps and cloth clips, he doesn't dare to go recently, it can be seen that the mountains are not very peaceful, but I don't know what happened inside?
"Quick, please ...... immortals" In the chaotic village, a vigorous and powerful voice sounded, and a sturdy man strode over, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, holding a one-man high axe in his hand, and his momentum was majestic.
"Daddy," Fang Xue'er shouted happily when she saw the man, and the person who came was Fang Meng, the head of Binghe Village.
As soon as he finished speaking, someone had already run to the stone statue at the head of the village, knelt on the ground, and kept muttering. The stone statue is more than two meters high, and it can be vaguely seen that it is the appearance of a middle-aged man, holding a big stone bow in his hand, standing at the head of the village, like a small mountain, majestic and majestic.
I don't know how long this stone statue has been standing here, although it is covered with snowflakes, the breath of the vicissitudes of history still can't stop emanating from it.
As the words of the kneeling people fell, the stone statue suddenly emitted a fiery red light, like a transparent hemisphere, quickly covering the entire village, and the light swayed, as if rippling, isolating the entire village from the outside world.
The "Bang ......" light had just protected the village, and a snow wolf hit the light mask head-on, and a few rays of light flashed, and the snow wolf was bounced back and fell to the ground and rolled a few times. The light was rippling, and the reticle was intact, but the color was noticeably dimmed.
The snow wolf staggered to his feet, shook his head, and his green eyes leaked a humanized expression, and he looked at the fiery red light mask suspiciously.
This turtle shell is not the first time it has competed, every time it hits it, it will be ejected far away, and the flames on its body will ignite, although it doesn't recognize it, but it can always make it embarrassed, but the mask will not change in the slightest, this time it is obviously different, not only is he not injured, but the color of the mask has also become dull.
"Brother Meng, what's going on?Why has the color darkened?" a villager asked suspiciously, looking at the darkened light mask.
Fang Meng frowned, looking at the light mask suspiciously, he didn't know what was going on? There had never been such a situation before, every time the demon beast attacked, it was only by relying on the protection of the gods in the village that he escaped the catastrophe, the light mask had never changed, this time was obviously unusual.
In the Longyan Continent, demons are rampant, there are many fierce beasts, and each village will be blessed by a god statue, which can be a demon god, a giant, a flower god, a tree god, or even a sword god, of course, more than a human statue. As long as it is strong enough, it can protect living beings.
With their consent, they can erect their idols, and those who worship them will be sensed in times of danger as long as they are humble and pious, and send divine light to protect the village. At the same time, the idol itself will also be supported by the power of people's sacrifices, enhancing luck, and even some people can warm up the body and improve their cultivation through secret methods.
Therefore, in the Dragon Flame Continent, most of the sects, or individuals, like these weak creatures to worship them, which can not only enhance their prestige, but also improve their strength effortlessly.
However, the blessing of the statue is divided into two situations, one is casual cultivation, and the other is the sect, and all the sacrificial power will be blessed on the luck of the sect. Of course, not all sects like to shelter these mortals, because their sacrificial power is too weak to be worth mentioning for those powerful sects.
