The following is the text of the novel (Author: Long Sword Pitian) provided for you, please enjoy!

After a day of walking on the official road, I turned to a secluded path and headed northwest. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info and on this day, everyone also came to a remote area, in the mountains and forests, countless giant trees stand in a forest, covering the sky and the sun.

When night falls, the group is looking for a place to rest, but at this time, one of the guards discovers a small mountain village surrounded by giant trees. This is a mountain village that does not appear on the map of the continent, but as long as people who often haunt this area, they know that in this mountain forest, there is a small mountain village called Devil's Village, and obviously, what this guard found is this devil's village nine times out of ten.

Speaking of this devil's village, it has to be traced back to 3,000 years ago, when it was a small isolated mountain village, although the scenery was ordinary, but the people in the village lived happily. However, when a war broke out, a rebel army of 100 people came here by accident, but the simple villagers were not wary of these outsiders, but received them warmly, completely unaware of the close contact with death.

In order to hide their tracks and avoid being pursued by the imperial army, night fell, and a bloody and shocking massacre began, and the whole village of 472 households, a total of 861 people, was brutally killed by this group of rebels. Blood flowed and soaked the ground of the village.

However, no one knew that under the ground of this village, there was a huge ruin, and among the ruins, there was a formation, and where this formation was located, it was also the most central and low-lying place where the entire mountain village was located. When the blood of the slaughtered villagers merged into the ruins formation, a terrifying mutation occurred.

In the entire surrounding mountain village, all the trees seemed to be endowed with life and soul in an instant, and what was even more surprising was that those trees seemed to have only the consciousness of revenge left.

In one night, the entire mountain village was completely flooded with trees, and those rebels who wanted to leave noticed this change and immediately wanted to flee in panic, but they were completely stopped by those trees.

At this moment, the villagers who were killed by the rebels were resurrected like zombies, dragging the remaining bodies, surrounding the rebels and killing them. The rebel attack did nothing but add new trauma to the resurrected corpses.

In the end, in the entire rebel team, only two leader-level masters whose strength reached the fourth level of innate strength escaped alive, but although they were still alive, they also paid a huge price, and the two of them could be said to have no trace of intact, one of them even lost an eye, and the two who escaped were already frightened, and when they were searched by the imperial army, the two did not even have a trace of resistance.

During the interrogation, the rebel who lost his eyes went completely insane and eventually committed suicide by hitting a wall in his cell, while the other man recounted what had happened, albeit a bit of a mess, but it was generally understandable. After telling the story, the rebel also committed suicide, and when he died, he had an extremely frightened expression that made all the corpse collectors shudder. What's even more bizarre is that when these two people were thrown out to burn their bodies, they strangely turned into dried corpses, as if they had been dead for decades, and finally weathered and dissipated.

The generals of the Imperial Army did not fully believe the rebel's words. First of all, I didn't know that there was a small mountain village in the middle of this mountain forest, and even if there were, it would be absolutely hard to believe that such an unthinkable thing happened. Although these two men died strangely in the end, they only committed suicide for fear of being forced to be tortured.

Moreover, even those who believe in this statement only think that these trees may be invaded by the ghosts of those villagers, and in order to take revenge, in order to completely eliminate these murderers who killed them, they will turn into these vengeful spirits, and use the trees to kill those rebels.

For this reason, the Imperial military sent a team of elite soldiers to investigate, but as a result, the elite soldiers never returned alive. It was only at this point that the Empire realized the seriousness of the situation, and immediately hundreds of soldiers were dispatched, whose tasks were to find the Devil's Village, to search for survivors, and to completely stifle all threats that might affect the outside world.

Three days later, thirteen physically disabled and somewhat mentally disturbed Imperial soldiers returned, and as soon as they returned to the barracks, they shouted "There is a devil, the devil wants to eat people!"

The generals of the military department finally suppressed this matter, but in the next few days, those who came back committed suicide one by one. After the death of these thirteen people, the corpses of the two rebels were first turned into dried corpses, and then into ashes, as if the water in their bodies had been completely drained, and there was not a drop of blood left, and finally it was as if they had been dead for countless years.

At this moment, the Imperial Military Department was shocked, and everyone realized that a crisis seemed to be approaching them. There was no way, they immediately reported this matter, and the empire therefore sent several masters above the innate level five to investigate, and there was also an immortal-level master, however, after entering the mountains and forests, this group also lost contact, even the immortal-level master, and there was no news from the half-hearted.

When this news came out, all of a sudden, the masters of the entire empire were shocked, and at the same time, the empire posted an imperial list, and if anyone could find out about this matter, they could take any treasure from the royal treasure. You must know that the royal treasures are absolutely rare, and there is even something that makes people feel powerful. At this moment, the masters of the entire empire were moved, and teams of powerful teams poured into this mountain forest, wanting to reveal the secrets inside.

It's a pity that almost all of the masters who entered this mountain forest are gone, and the only ones who can really escape back are only a few masters above the middle level of the immortal level, but when they come back, they are also in a state of confusion, as if they have been greatly frightened, no one knows what they encountered, because after they came back, they all killed themselves mysteriously. However, there is a master who left a message before he died, and the message is only two words, that is, "devil". And this is also the origin of the name "Devil's Village".

Since then, no one has dared to set foot in this mountain forest easily, let alone go to that mysterious mountain village to find the so-called truth. This mountain village was also crossed out of the continental map by the Empire at the same time.

Thirty years later, someone accidentally set foot in that mountain forest, but what is surprising is that this person who broke into that mountain forest actually came out safely, and immediately, the news came out, and the emperor even personally issued an edict to summon that person.

From the man's mouth, everyone also knew what happened, it turned out that he had strayed into the mountain forest because he was drunk, and by accident, he did find a mountain village surrounded by trees, but he did not enter it, but just found a tree outside to rest for the night, and came back early the next morning.

Hearing this man say this, all the people who remembered the events of the year couldn't help but think about it, and immediately, people seemed to be that those missing people were all going to this mountain village, and this drunkard who came out alive did not set foot in the mountain village. As a result, some people pointed out that the disappearance of the mountain forest may only occur within the mountain village, and if you do not enter the mountain village, you will be safe and sound. Later, many people went back into the mountains to see if the rumor was true. After that, those who only entered the mountains and forests also came out safely, on the contrary, a few people who broke into the mountain village completely disappeared, so this rumor was confirmed.

Since then, everyone who has been close to this mountain forest knows that if you enter the mountain forest, you must not enter the mountain village, as long as you pass through it safely, there is no danger.

It was also from that time that some bold businessmen seemed to see a way to make a fortune. Since the Suigetsu Empire and the Sunset Empire in the northwest had to bypass the Izumo Mountains, it would take an extra ten days to travel, which would undoubtedly increase the cost budget for the merchants, which was not cost-effective at all, and if they passed through this mountain forest, they could save ten days of travel, which would undoubtedly allow them to make more profits. Therefore, since then, this mountain and forest path has become a passage for caravans to travel between the Sunset Empire and the Water Moon Empire. And as long as they don't enter the mountain village, then there is no danger, because all the large carnivores have disappeared in the whole mountain forest, so it is also a safe trade route.

And the Feng family, in order to go to the Sunset Empire this time, also took this trail, to save time, there are few robbers here, and many unnecessary troubles can be avoided, so why not.

However, even so, the guards did not let their guard down, as long as it was time to rest, they would carefully inspect the surrounding situation, and this mountain village was discovered by one of the guards.

When they heard that there was a mountain village, the first reaction of those young masters, aunts and grandmothers was that they didn't need to sleep in tents anymore, and immediately said that they wanted to spend the night in the mountain village.

However, the two Captains of the Guard rejected the proposal. They are not like these little guys who have never been out and have never seen the world, the two of them, when they were training outside, they had also heard of the "Devil's Village", although they didn't believe it, but they didn't dare to joke about their lives.

Immediately, the two told everyone about the rumors about the "Devil's Village", and instructed everyone not to enter the scope of the mountain village, so as not to cause any accidents.

Regarding the rumors said by the two guard commanders, Long Xingyu did not make any comments except for a noncommittal smile, and there was obviously a reason for the confusion, but the reason had not yet been solved.

However, those little masters, aunts and grandmothers were frightened one by one, although they all had innate strength above level four, but in the face of the unknown, they couldn't help but feel a burst of fear, and no one would ask to enter that mountain village anymore.

The group found a flat place, intending to be a place to stay at night, and when the guards set up their tents and waited for dinner, from the distant mountains and forests, there were sudden screams, and then, a burst of frightened shouts came from far and near, in the direction of everyone.

"Someone is coming, all ready to fight. One of the guards spoke.

"Yes!" the guards immediately surrounded the camp, ready to respond to any eventuality.

At the time of the tea, six figures appeared in everyone's sight, five men and one woman, desperately fleeing in the direction of everyone, looking behind them while fleeing, and at the same time shouting in horror, as if there was something terrifying behind them chasing them.

"Help!" A young man whose strength was at the fourth level of innate saw everyone at a glance and immediately wanted to ask for help, but his path was stopped by two guards. Of the other few people, one of them also ran over, and the remaining four people continued to run outside.

The man who came after him ran forward and tried to enter the camp to seek refuge, but was also stopped by the guards. Kidding aside, God knows where these people came from, and if the Assassins were to use them to get involved in the assassination, it would be a big deal. In order to put an end to this possibility, the guards certainly wouldn't put them in the camp.

"Please, we just met monsters in that village, they want to eat us all, except for the six of us, more than ten other companions have been captured by them, several of us are also desperately running out, those monsters are still chasing us, please, save us, save our companions. The man who came first said immediately.

Frowning, one of the guards immediately said, "I'm sorry, that devil's village is not something we can enter, if you want us to go in and rescue your companions, then we can only refuse you." If you can, get out of here, if the monsters that are being pursued will arrive, I'm afraid it'll be too late. At this moment, the commander of the guards had already gestured to a few people behind him, signaling them to protect those young masters, young ladies, if there was anything wrong, then take people out of here.

"Please, save us......" The young man still did not give up, but at this moment, the young man happened to turn his head, and immediately as if he suddenly saw something terrible, he immediately fled from this place. His companion had the same expression. But the two men escaped only a few steps, as if they had been caught by something, and immediately fell to the ground, and kept struggling, but they did not make a sound.

Not far away, the Feng family was stunned in surprise, in their eyes, they just saw the two of them fall suddenly, and then they were like sheep going crazy.

Soon, the struggle of these two people weakened, and finally fell to the ground and died, and the expression when they died can be described as hideous and terrifying. Some of the timid ones couldn't help but retreat in fright, and the bold ones were all shocked. It's just that everyone still doesn't understand why these two people died so well, and their deaths were so miserable.
