Volume 1 Wind and Rain Smoke City Chapter 6 Demon Beasts
After breakfast, several sturdy middle-aged men from Liucun came to the courtyard of the village chief Xu Bo.
"Something wasn't quite right yesterday, there was so much movement, something must have happened deep in the forest. β
"Well, I heard it too, the sound was so terrifying, it must be the movement of a peerless beast. β
"I've lived for so many years, and I've never encountered such a big battle, I don't know if it's a blessing or a curse!"
Several men spoke one after the other, frowning or pondering, discussing the events of yesterday, and faintly feeling a danger approaching.
After many years of hunting in the mountains and forests, they have long developed their beastly instincts, and when danger comes, there will always be a strong crisis in their hearts.
"I think there may be a great treasure in this Quarter Moon Forest, which caused such a profound demon beast battle to be cultivated. Xu Bo said after thinking about it.
"Treasure?" a man suddenly widened his eyes and his beard was all open, revealing a shocked expression.
The eyes of the others also showed different colors, and their eyes were hot, but they were all extinguished soon, even if there were treasures, they could not get them, and in the depths of the String Moon Forest, no one could enter them.
How many amazing and brilliant Terran geniuses broke into the String Moon Forest, but they didn't come out alive, they were just ordinary hunters, their own combat power was barely worth a low-level cultivator, even if everyone broke together, not even a single wave would rise.
"Don't go out hunting during this time. Uncle Xu knocked his cigarette gun and made a decision.
"Well, that's fine!" said the strongest man, the leader of the hunting party and the next village chief.
"The food and meat stockpiled in the village are enough to feed for half a month," the man continued, "food is not a problem, patrols will be arranged around the village, I am worried...... The battle in the forest will drive out some low-level demon beasts, and if they run to the village, it will be troublesome!"
The atmosphere in the room was suddenly solemn, and everyone's hearts sank, and what the leader said was ...... In the history of the village, it is not that it has never happened!
The powerful demons in the forest are afraid of being besieged and killed by the Terran monks, so they will not easily step out of the forest, but these low-level demon beasts don't have so many worries. Say it's low-level...... It depends on who you compare it with, compared to Yanagimura, that is a very powerful existence!
Historically, Liucun had been attacked by a group of low-level demon wolves, and it took the lives of all the strong men to repel this group of demon wolves, and that group of demon wolves was just a group of ordinary demons in the forest.
"Okay, just do as you say!" Xu Bo said, "Everyone is divided into two shifts, day and night, and constantly patrols around the village, and once they find the situation, report it immediately." Gotta get through this time!"
"Hmm. The men nodded their heads one after another.
As soon as he stepped into the village, Chen Yunfeng immediately sensed the tense atmosphere in the village.
In the past, Yanagimura was peaceful and quiet, with a smile on everyone's face, but today ...... At a glance, everyone was grim and hurried, as if something terrible had happened.
"Komine. A middle-aged man beckoned to Chen Yunfeng in the distance.
"Uncle Daqing. Chen Yunfeng trotted over and shouted, the man was the leader of the hunting team, Liu Daqing.
Liu Daqing touched Chen Yunfeng's head, with a smile in his eyes, "Don't go out to play recently, there is danger outside." β
Liu Daqing and Chen Jiu were very good playmates when they were children, since Chen Jiu left the village, the two have not seen each other for more than 20 years, and now that Chen Jiu is back, he is very happy in his heart, and treats Chen Yunfeng like his own child.
"Danger, is there a demon beast?" Chen Yunfeng wondered, he could feel Uncle Daqing's affection for him.
Liu Daqing smiled, "You little ghost is quite smart. Raising his hand, he gave Chen Yunfeng a snap of his fingers, "No matter what it is, you can't go out, stay in the village honestly." β
"Oh. Chen Yunfeng covered his head and replied honestly.
Liu Daqing turned around and was about to leave, when he glanced out of the corner of his eye and saw a red furry thing in Chen Yunfeng's arms.
"Huh?" Liu Daqing paused.
After Chen Yunfeng fed the little fox blood, he didn't know what the structure of the little fox was, and after drinking Chen Yunfeng's blood, he quickly absorbed the energy in the blood, and woke up after a while.
The little fox who woke up seemed to like Chen Yunfeng very much, and he was tired of him, and Chen Yunfeng also loved this fluffy little guy very much, so he wrapped it in his arms and brought it back.
"Huh~~" The little fox nested in Chen Yunfeng's arms and let out a comfortable cry.
"Is this a fox?" Liu Daqing stared at it curiously.
"Hmm. Chen Yunfeng gently stroked the little fox's hair, "I picked it up outside the village today, it was injured, I want to wait for it to heal before letting it go." β
Chen Yunfeng lifted his clothes, revealing the bandaged wound, the wound had been closed, but he could vaguely see that a large piece of flesh had been dug out inside.
"If you like it, keep it. Liu Daqing said with a smile, seeing that it was a fox, he put his mind at ease, he was worried that Chen Yunfeng brought back the cubs of fierce beasts such as red tigers and silver wolves, which are difficult to be domesticated, and will attack the owner when they grow up, so they must not be brought home.
"Its fur is so beautiful. The little fox was fiery red all over, without a trace of variegation, Liu Daqing couldn't help but admire.
"Whoa, whoa, whoa~"
Hearing the praise, the little fox raised his head proudly.
"Alright, alright. Just look good. Chen Yunfeng smiled lightly and gave it a burst of chestnuts, and said to Liu Daqing: "Uncle Daqing, I'll go back first." β
"Okay, I'll have time to come and play at home. β
Liu Daqing watched Chen Yunfeng slowly walk away, his brows furrowed, the spirituality of the fox made him faintly uneasy. He has been involved in hunting for more than twenty years, and he has seen all kinds of demon beasts, including spiritual demon beasts, but they are far from the level of the little fox.
Demon beasts were all unintelligent or only had very little wisdom before the Jindan Realm, but there was one exception for demon beasts. Legend has it that the descendants of spirit beasts and mythical beasts are born with wisdom, and some are even higher than human wisdom.
"Could it be a divine beast?" Liu Daqing said secretly, and then he shook his head, threw this ridiculous thought aside, and laughed at himself: "That is, there are only some spiritual foxes, how can the divine beast be picked up so simply?"
"Let's arrange these two patrols first. β
......
"Alas, if you don't let me leave the village, how can I cultivate this......"
When he returned home, thinking that he would not be able to leave the village again from today, Chen Yunfeng couldn't help but feel a little annoyed.
After more than half a year of training, Chen Yunfeng's physical fitness has improved by leaps and bounds, and Chen Yunfeng's height at this time is nearly about 1.7 meters, and the muscles of the whole body are coordinated, showing a perfect streamline. The original weak physique was completely reversed, and no one could have imagined that he was still a thin little man half a year ago.
After more than half a year of training, Chen Yunfeng's mental character has also been tempered, and the most obvious thing is that he has completely regarded training as a kind of enjoyment, and he no longer has the intention of escaping.
"I can't go outside the village, so I'll practice in the yard. Chen Yunfeng's eyes rolled and he thought of a solution.
"Uncle Nine set up a practice ground for himself in the backyard, and he never let me use it before, and now I can't go out of the village, so he shouldn't say anything when he uses the practice ground. β
Resolute.
Chen Yunfeng said that he would do it, and while it was still early, he came to the backyard, where sandbags were hung upside down, a total of nine sandbags, and Chen Yunfeng stood quietly in them.
"Hah!"
Chen Yunfeng shouted, and slammed his fist on a sandbag, the sandbag was bounced away by a huge force, and hit other sandbags, those sandbags swayed, and immediately touched other sandbags, and suddenly the entire sandbag group shook.
"Peng", "Peng", "Peng"
Chen Yunfeng shot one after another, constantly hitting the sandbags, at first it was okay, the sandbags still had some tracks to be found, but the strength of the shaking was greater, and he kept hitting other sandbags, and suddenly the entire sandbag group was chaotic.
With Chen Yunfeng's rapid blow, the speed of the sandbag shaking became faster and faster, and Chen Yunfeng felt pressured for a while. His breath began to be chaotic, and his fist swings became hectic. Finallyβ
"Peng!"
Chen Yunfeng didn't prevent it, and two or three sandbags smashed on his body at the same time, directly knocking him to the ground.
This is also Chen Yunfeng is too arrogant, you need to know that sandbag training not only trains arm strength, but also trains reaction speed and personal intuitive reaction, each of these sandbags is filled with mud and sand, weighing more than 300 catties, ordinary people may break their ribs if they are hit, Chen Jiu does not let him use sandbags, is worried that he will hurt himself.
"Tear!"
Chen Yunfeng lay on the ground and gasped, although the collision just now did not break the bones, it also hurt the muscles and muscles, and there were bursts of sharp pain in his back.
The sandbag was still shaking, and Chen Yunfeng lay motionless underneath and didn't dare to move, worried that if he raised his body, he would be hit by the sandbag for the second time.
"It's careless, the seemingly simple sandbag is so difficult to practice. Chen Yunfeng smiled bitterly, "Cultivation really has to be taken step by step, and there is no sloppiness at all." β
Half a year of training has changed Chen Yunfeng a lot, and he has broken through his physical potential many times, and the impact on him is not only reflected in his body, but also in his heart.
I've survived all this hard training, what else can't I do?
This sandbag training gave Chen Yunfeng a blow in the face and made him realize that cultivation is not as simple as he imagined.
"Wow, wow~~"
The little fox ran to Chen Yunfeng's side, stretched out his tongue and licked his face affectionately, as if to comfort him not to be knocked down by difficulties.
Chen Yunfeng's face was licked, and he couldn't help but smile: "Okay, okay." I see, don't worry, I'm not going to fall down so easily. β
"Huh~~" The little fox suddenly screamed happily.
After resting for a while, his back didn't hurt so much, Chen Yunfeng stood up, his eyes burning with fighting spirit.
"Go on. β
Quickly rushed into the sandbag and trained again.
......
Ten days later.
There was not much food left in the village, especially meat, which had been eaten.
After ten days of nervousness, no trace of the demon beast's activities was found, Xu Bo and Liu Daqing and others discussed, and decided to resume normal work and hunting.
Chen Yunfeng also returned to Crescent Lake and started another stage of his training, but in this training, there was always a fiery red figure at his feet.
"Xiao Huo, hurry, keep up!" Chen Yunfeng swam hard in the water, looking back at Xiao Huo who was trying to swim behind him from time to time.
Xiaohuo is the name Chen Yunfeng gave to the little fox, the little fox's fur is all fiery red, and it runs like a spirit in the flames.
"Haha! Hurry! I'm going to go ashore soon!" Chen Yunfeng smiled happily, with Xiaohuo's company, he felt that the hard training was much easier.
Poof.
After going ashore, Xiaohuo quickly turned around and shook the water clean, and Chen Yunfeng, who was standing next to him, suddenly suffered an unwarranted disaster, and was splashed by the water thrown by Xiaohuo.
"Alright, alright, you're naughty. Chen Yunfeng covered his eyes with his hand and laughed with the little fox.
Suddenlyβ
"Roar, roar~" Xiaohuo suddenly roared in a low voice.
Chen Yunfeng was shocked in his heart, and found that Xiao Huo was staring directly at the upper reaches of Crescent Lake, and he followed Xiao Huo's line of sight.
"This is ......" Chen Yunfeng's face sank suddenly.
A silver-white figure was on the hill, looking at Chen Yunfeng faintly, his turquoise eyes full of murder and killing.
β...... Demon Beast!"
