On a small hillside.

Five tall demon dogs squatted or stood, lined up in a row, looking at the towering plough mountain not far away.

At this time, the demon dogs officially entered the human village at the foot of the plough mountain, and under their feet was the newly cultivated farmland, and not far away was the farmer who was plowing.

"Youkai!"

"Run!"

"Let's go and ask for a shrine maiden-sama ......"

When the peasants spotted the five demon dogs, they screamed in terror, dropped their hoes and ran in the direction of the village in a panic.

A little girl carrying a bamboo basket fell to the ground in fright, and the food in the bamboo basket resembled rice balls and steamed buns were suddenly scattered on the ground.

"Huh?"

As if he had discovered something interesting, Lan Lie came to the little girl, took a closer look, and then turned around and shouted in surprise.

"Look, Boss, human cubs!"

Lanya was speechless and held his forehead.

The little girl was only about five or six years old, and at this time she was staring at the fierce and hideous head in her eyes.

This bloody mouth can definitely swallow her in one bite, and there is no scum left.

With her hands behind her back, the thin little girl quickly moved her ass back, her expression frightened and helpless, and she let out a loud scream of horror.

"Ahhh

"Daddy!"

Hearing the screams, not far away, among the farmers who fled frantically, two farmers suddenly turned around, one was middle-aged, and the other was quite young, about the father and brother of the little girl, and their eyes were tearing when they saw this scene.

They somehow got the courage to pick up the hoe from the ground and rush over with a whoa, whoa.

"Damn youkai, fight with you!"

"Xiaolan!"

The little girl's father and brother rushed to Lan Lie's side, protected the little girl behind him, raised the hoe in his hand high, and screamed half desperately and half in fear, but they didn't have the courage to drop the hoe.

When Lan Shan saw this scene, a cold light flashed in his eyes, and his huge body disappeared in place.

"Even weak humans dare to ......"

The two men holding the hoe high, the initial courage and blood passed, and the fear soon took over, their bodies had begun to tremble slightly, and their faces were bloodless, but they still protected the little girl behind them.

"Xiaolan, run!"

The middle-aged man shouted in despair.

The youkai in front of them were much larger than their house, and they didn't look like they could be targeted with a hoe in their hands.

Moreover, most of these farmers living in the yokai world have also seen the mages in the city kill demons, but those youkai are at most some mountain spirits and wild ghosts.

And the demon dogs in front of them were taller than the two floors of the village elder's house, and in their eyes they were already terrifying demons that they had never seen before.

Arashiyama's tall figure appeared at the side of the two farmers in an instant, his eyes flashing with murderous aura, one claw raised high, and the nails of the front feet of a human short knife flashed with a cold cold light.

"Stop!"

Lanya's voice sounded in time, flat but powerful.

Arashiyama's claws that were about to fall stopped abruptly and looked at Lanya in puzzlement.

For the monsters, humans are like prey under the claws of wild beasts, and since they are prey, they naturally do not have the slightest pity and sympathy.

Ranya walked past them, without looking at them, and walked straight towards the plough hill not far away, without giving any explanation.

Because he was ambushed by the priests of the Shenmu Shrine before, Arashiyama had a very poor perception of humans, and for him, it was a crime for a humble human to dare to wave a weapon at a noble demon dog.

He glanced at Lanya's back, although he really wanted to kill the three humans in front of him, but since it was Lanya's order......

He hesitated for a moment, his raised paw slowly fell, and he glanced coldly at the three humans in front of him, and then turned to follow Lanya's figure.

The remaining three demon dogs quickly crossed the three humans, and the wind swept them to the ground.

The father and daughter hugged each other, staring blankly at the backs of the demon dogs who were far away like the wind, and they couldn't believe that they had actually survived from the mouth of the monster.

......

Rumble!

Rumble!

Rumble!

As soon as they approached the foot of the plough hill, a series of loud roars were heard on the mountain road in the distance, as well as the cries of the soldiers in battle, and the desperate cries of the wounded.

Lanya's face changed.

"Oh no, there are youkai who arrived before us. ”

The five demon dogs approached quickly, and then looked from afar, a group of strange-looking monsters were surrounded by a group of human soldiers, fighting fiercely, and there were several mages in the distance who were moving flexibly in the battle group, throwing out a few glowing talismans from time to time, but unfortunately they fell on the huge bodies of the monsters but had little effect.

At a glance, Lanya recognized that the monsters surrounded by the battle group were the subordinates of the mountain demon Gangyan.

The leading monster has gray skin, round eyes and chiseled teeth, shaped like the evil ghost Shura in the Yellow Spring, it is three feet tall, the head the size of a grinding disc has a curved and thick gray horn, a large mouth full of jagged teeth let out a sharp grin, grasping a miserable white bone stick and waving it, the tiger is vigorous, and the surrounding houses fall down like paper paste.

The other six or seven youkai, though not as impressive, were more than two feet tall, and they had huge humanoid bodies with strange beast heads.

Their muscles were strong, and they slaughtered human soldiers with ferocity, occasionally grabbing a soldier who was still struggling, laughing wildly, stuffing them alive into their mouths, and the creepy sound of chewing flesh and bones.

"Sure enough, it's the monsters under the mountain demon. ”

In the Forest of Bones, there are basically a limited number of famous yokai, and even if you have never seen them, you have some understanding of each other's image characteristics, and you can recognize them as soon as you meet.

The leading monster is the number one general under the mountain demon Gangyan, and according to the gray ghost horn on his head, it can be judged that the other party is a gray horned ghost at the level of a demon beast.

This guy is known as a mad ghost, and it is said that he is extremely powerful, and his reputation in the Forest of Bones is not small.

It is rumored that he was once a subordinate of the ghost general, but later betrayed the ghost general for some reason and took refuge in the mountain demon Gangyan.

Demons and monsters are the names used by humans to summarize all monsters.

Among them, demons naturally refer to the monsters of Lanya and the like, and ghosts refer to the monsters that are transformed into evil ghosts, also known as the ghost clan.

The other youkai next to the mad ghost have huge humanoid bodies, but they have the heads of beasts such as tiger heads, bull heads, and eagle heads, which look very strange.

One thing that must be mentioned here is that

The canines are naturally demon beasts, so their bodies have always been in the form of dogs, and they will not completely transform into human forms until they are promoted to the fairy level.

And the monster beast that evolved from the spirits, when it evolved into a monster, its form would change dramatically, and it would turn into this strange appearance of a huge body with a beast head and a human body.

Therefore, as long as you encounter this kind of monster with the appearance of a beast head and a human body in the Forest of Bones, then you can basically conclude that the other party is a monster evolved from a spirit monster, and such a monster beast often means that its bloodline is low, and it will be looked down upon by the natural monsters.

The demon dogs that approached the warband were soon spotted by the human soldiers.

This undoubtedly completely shattered their belief in fighting, and the mad ghosts and youkai alone had put them in a situation like slaughter, and now that a new group of youkai had appeared, how could they resist.

More and more soldiers began to throw off their armor and scattered, completely breaking down.

Lanya didn't pursue, and he didn't even care about those human soldiers, he clearly knew that the enemy at this time was only the men of the mountain demons such as the mad ghosts.

When Lanya and the others saw the mad ghosts and the other group of monsters, the other party naturally saw a group of demon dogs.

The mad ghost waved the bone stick in his hand, and the human soldiers in front of him vomited blood as if they had been hit by a high-speed train, and the dense sound of bone cracking came from their bodies in mid-air, and blood sprayed, and they seemed to be alive.

"The boss is right, you puppies are going to come and make trouble. ”

He laughed wildly and looked in the direction of Lanya, licking the blood from his face bloodily, his eyes flashing with an indescribable battle intent that he couldn't tell whether it was cruel or excited.

"You're that little cub named Lanya of the Canine Clan?"
