The moonlight is cold, the night is boundless, and the cold wind blows, making everything like a mirage.

Surrounded by this cliff, everyone saw a huge and hideous shadow emerging from the shadows of the valley.

The monster was a foot tall, hunched over, and staggered, and it was covered in layers of steel armor, and its armor was covered with sharp blades several feet long, and it looked like a huge hedgehog, and it was completely unclear what it was.

What's even more astonishing is that those sharp blades and spikes are densely packed with corpses, mutilated, deformed, and miserable, and their eyes widen as if they are unwilling. Blood flowed through its armor and slowly flowed into it along the furrows in its armor.

The county lord of Jiuhe was the closest, and when he saw the appearance of the monster, he was so frightened that he immediately took a few steps back, and her four attendants immediately stood up in front of her, taking out their blades to protect her, but their eyes were also terrified and frightened. Although the martial arts of the Tiande Dao people are not weak, how have they ever seen such a terrifying scene? For a moment, the hand holding the long sword trembled slightly, grinning, and terrified.

Zhao Sheng cried out and asked softly, "What kind of monster is this?" ”

"I don't know," said the goshawk, "the last time I was here, I saw it once, and it collected the corpses from those valleys, and I don't know where to send them. But as long as we don't provoke it, it won't do anything to us. ”

Zhao Sheng heard the goshawk say this, his fear eased slightly, and he looked carefully at the monster's body, and found that those spikes were all blades, with big knives and axes, spears and long swords, which made it a lot larger, although this clearing was empty, but when it came to the corner, it was still quite inconvenient to move.

When it walked to Li Shuxiu's side, a roar suddenly erupted behind him, and everyone's hearts jumped violently, and when they looked over there, they found a Mongolian soldier beside the county lord of Jiuhe staring at the monster that stabbed the corpse. The monster glanced at the man lightly, but didn't care, and continued to move forward slowly.

The county lord of Jiuhe shouted and asked, "Yiergan, what are you doing?"

Elgan grunted in his throat, kicked his feet, drew his axe, and slashed at the ghoul.

Xuanjing said angrily: "Are you crazy?" Stretched out his hand and pressed on his shoulder, mobilizing thirty percent of his internal force, trying to subdue him, who knew that Ilgan's strength was amazing, and he raised his shoulder, pushed Xuanjing aside, and slashed an axe on the monster's armor.

The monster's armor was so hard that the axe seemed to have smashed into the rock, and the fire flew everywhere, leaving only a shallow trace. The spear in the armor burst out and pierced Ilgan's neck, then quickly shortened, as swift as a snake coming out of a hole.

Jiuhe exclaimed, "Ilgan!"

Irgan covered his neck, he didn't seem to feel pain at all, but frantically brandished his axe, the monster's armor may have a clever bracket, the spikes on his body flickered and contracted, and he was extremely agile, and Irgan was stabbed in an instant, and he couldn't support it anymore, and he lay down on the ground and died tragically on the spot.

The monster slowly turned, bent down, picked up Ilgan's corpse, thrust it into the spike, and let out a satisfied grin. It seemed to notice the crowd around it, revealing a pair of large eyes in the dense armor, scrutinizing the uninvited guests.

Goshawk thought: This Ilgan is really crazy, and his death can be regarded as angering this monster.

The corpse monster looked at it for a while, seemed to make a "hmm" sound, opened its giant palm, grabbed it to the county lord of Jiuhe, turned over the Xuanjing sleeve robe, and made a "golden flower does not fall into the palm", a fierce palm wind roared, and with a bang, the monster's body shook, took a step back, let out an angry gasp, accelerated his pace, and attacked the Xuanjing.

Tiande shouted, "Master, be careful!"

Xuanjing's palm pulled, the long sword on his waist flew into the air on his own, he jumped high, held the long sword, and slashed on the monster spikes, his long sword was already sharp, at this time attached to his internal force, when it was really sharpened like clay, only to hear the three sounds, the spikes on the monster's body were immediately cut off, and everyone couldn't help but cheer loudly when they saw his wonderful kung fu.

The monster was unconscious, turned around, countless spikes suddenly grew, Xuanjing was in mid-air, the long sword blocked left and right, with a little bit of strength, retreated nine feet, and fell to the ground. snorted, his face solemn.

When Goshawk saw blood oozing from Xuanjing's ribs, he thought: Is his wound bursting? Or is it a new injury?

Seeing that the situation was not good, Tiande drew his long sword, stood side by side with the master, and shouted, "Master, let the apprentice take care of this monster for you!"

Xuanjing's face turned pale, and he scolded: "Get out of the way, you can't do it, protect the county lord for me, don't come to make trouble!"

How could Tiande be willing to retreat? Blocking in front of Xuanjing, Xuanjing was angry, and he wanted to knock him out with a palm, but he was so angry that he pulled the wound, and his brain was dizzy again. He took a deep breath and thought: "That's it, today we will fight for the lives of our master and apprentice, and we must also protect the county lord."

Just as he was about to make a desperate bet and fight with all his might, he heard a soft roar, Li Shuxiu suddenly appeared on the side of the monster, avoiding the troll spikes, and the long sword pierced into the gap in its armor, and then dodged away. The monster let out a roar of pain, and for a moment it was in a state of confusion, waving its palm at random, but nothing hit.

Goshawk couldn't help but secretly praise: "This girl's swordsmanship really has aura, although she just took advantage of the sneak attack, but this trick is a needle, if it weren't for the extremely sharp eyes, smart mind, and calm wrists, she would never be able to hit." If she is a person with mediocre qualifications, even if she practices swordsmanship for a lifetime, she will not be able to achieve her mastery. ”

Li Shuxiu shouted, "Monster! have the courage to compete with me!" Jumping back and forth in front of it, eager to try, the monster looked at her sullenly, and rushed towards her with its arms outstretched in a heavy way.

Li Shuxiu retreated quickly, his legs were lightly tapped on the rock wall, a move "flying squirrel in the forest", flashed lightly from the top of the monster's head, and wanted to take advantage of the situation to swing the sword on the monster's armor to connect the dots, who knew that the monster's armor was launched, and several machetes took her cheeks, Li Shuxiu exclaimed, the long sword was blocked, lost his balance, and his wrist was stabbed by a machete.

She landed not far from the monster, pinched the vein, hurriedly stopped the bleeding, and saw the monster staring blankly at the sky, as if she had not yet noticed that she had landed.

She thought: This monster is really powerful, but it moves slowly, and we don't need to be an enemy of him. Then he shouted, "Run ahead!" and through the meadow there should be a grove, and if we climb up to the tree, it should not be able to help us.

Everyone shouted, picked up their bags, and was about to flee in a hurry, when they suddenly saw a goshawk roaring, his eyes straightened, his hands raised his long sword, and he screamed and ran wildly in front of the monster.

Li Shuxiu was anxious and thought: Are the goshawk brothers also crazy? There must be other strange things in this canyon.

The goshawk came to the monster and shouted to Li Shuxiu: "You guys run first!"

Li Shuxiu was stunned and thought: Isn't he crazy?

Thousands of spikes on the monster's body stabbed densely, like an impermeable wall, the goshawk did not dodge or dodge, staring feverishly at these deadly spikes, Zhao Sheng screamed when he saw this, Li Linhong scolded angrily, Li Shuxiu trembled, and wanted to rescue, but it was too late.

Blood splattered, there was the sound of muscles tearing, and everyone heard that their scalps were numb, and they only felt frightened, and their hands and feet were sore, knowing that this reckless man was afraid that he would not survive.

The creature let out a whimper, stepped back, reached out to cover its head, and screamed slowly, and the goshawk crawled out from under it, clutching something in its hands, and its arms and thighs were full of punctured wounds, but not mortally wounded.

Li Shuxiu shouted in surprise: "You dodged so many spikes?"

The goshawk suddenly showed a frightened expression and shouted, "Run!" said without hesitation and ran away, ran to Zhao Sheng's side, and carried him above his head. When everyone saw him set an example, there was still half a minute of hesitation, and they ran wildly.

The monster was still wailing in place.

The trail ran through a moonlit gorge and through a narrow mountain path to a wooded area. The goshawk stopped, put Zhao Sheng on the ground, panted, and suddenly laughed happily.

Li Linhong kicked him in the ass and said angrily: "You can still laugh? You scared Lao Tzu half to death! What is wrong with you?"

The goshawk said, "The monster's spikes are poisonous, and only the flesh in its armor can detoxify." As he spoke, he opened his palm, revealing a round, black thing, which looked a little like mud, but smelled a strange smell.

Li Shuxiu asked: "Poisonous?antidote?" Suddenly, I only felt a tingling itch in the wrist wound, and after a closer look, my scalp was numb with fright. She saw patches of green scale armor growing on her wrists, rolling endlessly like small insects, and spreading rapidly, she touched it lightly, and her heart hurt so much that she couldn't help screaming.

The goshawk cut off a piece of mud, and took advantage of the moment when she opened her mouth to accurately stuff it into Li Shuxiu's mouth, and at the same time swallowed a piece herself. Li Shuxiu swallowed the mud, only felt that the taste was bitter, and then looked at his wrist, and found that the mud was like a god, and those scales and armor gradually calmed down, although there were some traces, but there must have been no major problems.

Xuanjing's face was pale, and he hurriedly breathed and breathed to check whether there were any wounds on his body, but fortunately he dodged skillfully and was not injured by the monster.

Li Shuxiu thought that he had escaped death, and he was grateful to the goshawk, and he couldn't stop thanking him, and the goshawk smiled: "What did we say before? Everyone helps each other, there is nothing to owe, as long as you don't come to suspect me Goshawk, I am already thankful." ”

Xuanjing snorted and said on the side: "I wonder how the goshawk brothers learned about the poison on this monster, and how did they know that its flesh is the antidote?"

The goshawk replied casually, "The last time we came in, we also encountered a monster, and my companions, ignorant of the monster's temper, swarmed up and died at its hands. I was so poisoned that I was killed, but I happened to pick up the pieces of flesh it had dropped, and I barely survived. ”

Xuanjing still had doubts in his heart, but this goshawk saved everyone's lives, and there should be no malice, so he had to endure it for the time being, intending to wait and see what happened.

Li Shuxiu asked, "What is this monster? Is it a monster? Or is it an animal, and why does it collect so many corpses?"

Goshawk shook his head and said: "I don't know, but this monster has low intelligence and bad memory, as long as we hide from it for a while, it will forget its previous grievances and not embarrass us." ”
