A small village.
Surrounded by mountains and rivers, the scenery is beautiful.
"Father, mother, I'm here, come and catch me!"
"I found you, Xiaolan!"
"Daddy is cheating, let's do it again!"
"Okay, try again, try again!"
A little girl was playing with her parents in her yard.
At this time, a deafening howl suddenly sounded outside the village, and the villagers were shaken and staggered.
The little girl was so frightened that she started crying, and the man quickly stepped forward to hug her:
"Don't be afraid, Xiaolan, don't be afraid!"
The little girl’s mother suddenly exclaimed: “What is that?!”
What followed was the sound of countless heavy and fast footsteps and the screams of the villagers.
The little girl wanted to look out, but her father blindfolded her and picked her up. Her mother's screams were heard behind her.
"Mother!"
The little girl exclaimed, and then she felt a warm liquid splash onto her face, and a strong fishy smell hit her nose.
She opened her eyes in panic, only to see an animal claw with rough golden hair emerging from her father's chest.
"Daddy."
The little girl was stunned, and the man lowered his head with difficulty:
"Xiaolan, run quickly"
The beast's claws were withdrawn with a pop, and blood spurted out, covering the little girl's head and face.
The man fell to the ground, lifeless. The little girl also fell to the ground, got up and ran towards the man:
"Daddy, daddy!"
At this time, a ferocious and thick foot, as huge as a millstone, fell down with a thud and stepped in front of the little girl.
The little girl trembled all over and slowly raised her head. A monster with golden hair all over its body and a dog's head and a pig's mouth reflected in her pupils.
The demonic beast had a long and narrow scar on its right eye, which made it even more ferocious. It lay on all fours with blood on one of its front paws, opened its bloody mouth, and rushed towards the little girl.
"Dad! Mother!"
Noila Mo opened her eyes suddenly, sweating profusely, her chest heaving violently, and she was panting.
The bright moon is bright in the sky, and the surrounding mountains are peaceful and the trees are quiet.
This place is still more than a thousand miles away from Yunling Town.
After leaving Zhenyang Sect yesterday, Wei Wan led a group of disciples to run very fast, covering a thousand miles in half a day.
It wasn't until late at night that everyone was ordered to rest for a few hours.
At this speed, we can arrive at Yunling Town before 10:00 tomorrow.
The disciples were sleeping in the woods. They were all practitioners, and they were not afraid of the heavy dew at night. They each sat cross-legged to meditate or rest.
But for some reason, Mo Xiaolan suddenly dreamed of a scene from her childhood that she had not thought of for many years.
She wiped the sweat from her forehead, but her heart couldn't calm down for a long time, and the spiritual power in her body was gradually showing signs of disorder.
Suddenly, a warm hand pressed against her back, with a gentle voice:
"Calm down your mind."
A ray of spiritual power entered her body. Noila Mo closed her eyes and allowed the spiritual power to travel through her body along her meridians, enter her spiritual field, and then slowly dissipate.
She herself also performed the Orchid Technique, and after half an hour, the almost chaotic aura in her body finally calmed down.
Noila Mo opened her eyes, turned around and said, "Qin Gengyun, thank you very much."
Qin Gengyun smiled and said softly: "What's wrong?"
Noila Mo lowered her head and was silent for a moment, then said, "I told you before that my parents and the entire village were killed by monsters."
Qin Gengyun asked: "Do you remember what happened when you were a child?"
Noila Mo nodded, then suddenly shook her head and laughed, looking melancholy: "Actually, I can't remember what my parents look like."
She paused and then said, "But I still remember what the monster that killed my parents looked like."
Qin Gengyun took out a silk scarf from his arms and handed it to her. Noila Mo took it, wiped the sweat on her forehead, and continued:
"That monster has golden hair all over its body, a dog's head and a pig's mouth, strong limbs, and sharp claws. Later, I checked the classics and found that it is very similar to an ancient monster named 'Cunning'."
"Cunning?" Qin Gengyun pondered slightly: "It is said that this is an ancient monster with the same name as the earth mole. In terms of grade, it is at least the sixth grade. Why was the small village where you lived when you were a child attacked by a sixth grade monster?"
"I can't figure this out either."
Noila Mo sat on the ground, hugging her knees with her hands and resting her chin on her knees, showing a rare weak posture for a daughter, with confusion on her face:
"The beast tide ended twenty years ago, but our village was attacked by monsters fifteen years ago. After that, we have never seen high-level monsters attack places where mortals live."
Qin Gengyun sat down with her. Knowing that Mo Xiaolan was depressed at the moment, he analyzed with her:
"After the beast tide, there are still high-grade monsters appearing. This is something I have never seen before. If it is really an ancient monster, why did it attack an ordinary small village alone? Does it have any special target?"
Mo Xiaolan shook her head, her eyes flushed: "I am the only one in the whole village who survived, but I couldn't even find the bodies of my parents."
Qin Gengyun comforted him: "You were too young at that time. It was not easy to escape by chance. I can't blame you."
Noila Mo suddenly buried her cheeks in her knees, her shoulders shaking slightly.
Qin Gengyun sat beside her silently and accompanied her quietly.
Suddenly, Qin Gengyun looked back at the dense forest behind him, but it was dark inside and there was no movement.
After a while, Noila Mo raised her head with tears on her face:
"sorry."
Qin Gengyun said softly: "What's wrong with this? You and I are best friends. You will naturally come to me to vent your worries."
Noila Mo wiped away her tears with Qin Gengyun's silk scarf, and a bright orchid-like smile appeared on her face:
"It's great to have a friend like you. Thank you. I'm fine. You can go and rest."
"good."
Qin Gengyun nodded, and after Noila Mo closed her eyes against a big tree and gradually fell asleep, he stood up and walked aside.
He paused and suddenly walked towards the other side, which was where the disciples of Danxia Peak were resting.
He approached slowly, used his eyesight enough, and saw the delicate and thin figure in the darkness.
At this moment, she folded her arms and curled up on a thin blanket spread on the ground, looking even more fragile and lovely.
Qin Gengyun shook his head slightly, was it my illusion just now?
He stopped prying, returned to the resting place of the disciples of Huashen Peak, sat down cross-legged, and closed his eyes.
At this time, Ruomei, who was curled up on the ground like a human being, opened her eyes, her face was no longer soft, and her eyes were cold.
That scarf is mine, how dare you use it to wipe other women’s tears?
Haha, this one is the heaviest!
The next day.
Xu Shi.
A towering mountain appeared in everyone's eyes.
Qin Gengyun was refreshed: "Yunling Mountain!"
Wei Wan, who was at the front, turned back and said, "Yunling Town is ahead, everyone, be careful."
As soon as she finished speaking, a huge howling sound suddenly came from the front, soaring into the sky and deafening!
Everyone was horrified, speeded up, and soon saw Yunling Town.
However, at this moment, the defensive formation of Yunling Town no longer exists, and most of the tall city wall has collapsed!
Countless monsters rushed into the town ahead like a tide, and the ground was covered with blood and the remains of humans and beasts!
On the dilapidated city wall, a monster with golden hair and a dog's head and a pig's mouth emits black light, looking up to the sky and roaring.
"cunning?!"
