Therefore, Guan Heng subconsciously asked: "But when my companions and I first entered the village, we found that you seemed to be..."
"Oh, it turns out that this is what Brother Guan is asking about." Leng Peng said with a wry smile: "To say that our village is very tense now, and we are on guard everywhere. Children are not allowed to go near the village gate or into the forest. This is also to guard against enemies. , However, they are not humans, but monsters!”
Seeing the doubt in Guan Heng's eyes, he explained: "The villagers of Lintao Water Village have lived here for hundreds of years. They don't have many enemies. However, they have had many fierce battles with monsters in the nearby waters and mountains and forests. It’s all about survival.”
Then, Leng Tao told Guan Heng some things. It turned out that most of the villagers in Lintao Water Village made a living by fishing at first, and then gradually evolved into a "half fishing and half farming" type of livelihood. Everyone Start learning to cultivate wasteland and farm, so that you can produce a lot of food and solve the problem of eating.
However, fishing in the river will lead to encounters with monster fish and water beasts, and logging in the mountains to open up wasteland will also anger some monster beasts that originally lived here.
"In the past two years, there have always been some monsters that are dissatisfied with our land reclamation and have come to harass Lintao Water Village. Among them, the most violent ones are the 'three-toed horse-faced apes'."
When the name was mentioned, Leng Peng suddenly slapped his thigh and said, "Brother Guan, do you think it's possible that my Jin'er was killed by them..."
"It's not impossible." Guan Heng had already sent out all the Seven Ghosts and Elephant Snake Birds who were following him, and asked them to search carefully within a ten-mile radius to see if they could find any clues.
At this moment, the snake-like bird suddenly flew in from the northeast, carrying the wind, and wandered around Guanheng and Lengpeng, croaking non-stop.
"Something's happening." The two of them looked at each other and immediately followed the snake-like bird and ran away quickly, running into the forest in the blink of an eye.
"Quaqua——" The snake-like bird suddenly flew down not far ahead, and then started fighting with a monster that was scurrying on the tree. "Gujijijiji——" The roaring monster with bright claws had unusually long arms and legs, a hunched back, and a face that was about two feet long. It was extremely ugly. It turned out to be a monster ape.
"Bang bang bang!" The sharp beak of the Elephant Snake Bird instantly turned into a swift shadow and pecked at the opponent's front door, but Yuan Yuan quickly dodged them. The opponent also shook its claws and scratched from time to time. The Elephant Snake Bird was a little slower to dodge twice, and it was immediately known. A feather was pulled off, and the colorful strange birds croaked and screamed in anger.
"Brother Guan, look, that's the three-toed horse-faced ape." After Guan Heng ran nearby, Leng Peng suddenly pulled out the fish bone short fork from his waist, and then roared: "I will kill this guy now... …”
Guan Heng's eyes were blazing, and he suddenly whispered: "Wait a minute, you see, there seems to be something hanging on the long tail of that demon ape."
"It's my son's other little shoe. Sure enough, these beasts kidnapped Jin'er."
Leng Peng saw the curled thing on the opponent's tail, and immediately covered his eyes with anger. He shook the fish bone fork in his hand and wanted to throw it at it, but Guan Heng said: "The child is not in this guy's hands. If you kill it now , the clue is cut off, it’s up to me.”
It was too late to say it, but it was so quick that Guan Heng took off the snow-like bow like lightning and shouted: "Like a snake and bird, get out of the way--"
"Pah-chi!"
At the moment when the snake-like bird flapped its wings and flew away, a powerful arrow was driven by the wind and hit the three-toed horse-faced ape's lower abdomen. However, Guan Heng only used three-thirds of his strength and deliberately let the arrow fly crookedly. The demon ape Seeing this, he immediately swung his long tail and caught the eagle-feather arrow with a snap, but the child's shoes fell down and were caught by Leng Peng.
"Gujijijiji——" As if mocking Guan Heng's poor archery skills, the demon ape made a face at him, showed off its fiery red monkey butt and slapped Guan Heng several times, and then grabbed a tree He climbed up the old vine and swung away, and also used his tail to sweep away Guan Heng's eagle feather arrow.
"Okay, let's chase it now!" Guan Heng deliberately let the demon ape take away his arrow, but he had let the ghost's ghost attached to it before. In this case, even if he lost the demon ape, the demon ape would still be there. The ghost will also find out the other party's nest without anyone noticing.
Guan Heng had already explained his plan while he and Leng Peng continued to track the demon ape. Leng Peng heard that Guan Heng could control invisible ghosts and was in the realm of red energy, so he admired him even more.
However, the two of them could never figure out what the three-toed horse-faced apes' purpose was after they abducted the children. Everything can only be revealed when the demon ape's nest is found.
But after Guan Heng and the others tracked them for several miles in the forest, the cunning monster ape seemed to be aware of what was going on, so he actually started leading the two of them in a circle.
At this moment, Leng Peng noticed that it was already after dusk and the moon was above the treetops. He gradually became anxious because the longer the delay, the greater the possibility that Leng Jin would be in danger or encounter an accident.
Guan Heng saw the other party's eagerness and immediately said: "Okay, it's time for the demon ape to get rid of us, so that I can let the big demon continue to hide and track."
"Okay, just do what Brother Guan said." Seeing the wise and determined look flashing in Guan Heng's eyes, Leng Peng began to calm down a little. You know, there is no rush now. Instead of making mistakes in the hurry, it is better to follow the instructions The plan is going well.
At this time, the demonic ape that couldn't stop running away suddenly started playing tricks again. It fell to the ground with a cry and picked up two stones.
Seeing the demonic ape shaking the stone in his palm as if to throw it, Guan Heng and the others immediately ducked to avoid it, but the snake-like bird took advantage of the opportunity to jump out from behind Guan Heng and pounce on him: "Quaqua——"
Seeing the ferocity of the strange bird, the demonic ape jumped several feet away, and the snake-like bird immediately pounced in the air. This was also Guan Heng's instruction, to make a show to scare the other party, and not to kill him for real.
It was too late, but it was too late. The demon ape did not attack the enemy with stones, but instead threw them in front of him: "Huhu——"
"Bang, bang!" The stone hit something unknown, and in an instant, an angry beast roar sounded from there: "Ouch, ouch, ouch—"
Among the lightning and flint, several bramble-backed demon wolves with a deep red aura burst out of their bodies rushed out of the grass nest in anger. They were disturbed by the stones and woke up. The manes on the backs of these demon wolves were slanted and tough, like spikes. Before Guan Heng, They are often encountered in the wilderness, but the red energy realm is still rare.
The three-toed horse-faced ape had already jumped onto a big tree in threes and twos, then grabbed the thick vine and flew away.
"How can this dead monkey be so cunning?!"
Looking at the demonic wolves surrounding them with drooling mouths and fierce eyes, Guan Heng was secretly amused, but when he saw Leng Peng was about to wave his fish-bone fork and come forward to fight, he immediately said: "Clan Chief Leng, you and Xiang The snake bird will go after the demon ape first, and I will deal with these wolf cubs."
