Now that he has decided to live in Taoyuan Village, Zhao Xun cannot just show up.
He asked Zhou Yicheng to find a relatively spacious house to stay at.
The houses in the mountains are not so elaborate, with thatched roofs as roofs and mountain rocks as walls.
It looks gray from a distance.
There are no carved beams, painted pillars, brackets and cornices of the Chang'an mansion in the capital.
It's not even as lavish as the rich man's home, it's simple and ordinary.
But Zhao Xun just likes this simple feeling.
There is only one blind bachelor named He Ergou in this family.
Both of his parents have passed away and he has no wife, so only one person lives in Taotu Courtyard, which makes it seem very deserted.
He Ergou felt very uncomfortable with the sudden influx of so many people.
"Uncle He, don't be nervous, we are from the government and we came to Taoyuan Village to help you catch monsters."
Zhao Xun tried his best to sound calmer, trying to comfort He Ergou first, and then he could get along easily with him.
If He Ergou was always so wary, he would definitely be very awkward and awkward when getting along with him.
"The monster...the monster is here, eating people...eating people..."
Unexpectedly, upon hearing the word "monster", Uncle He's mood fluctuated greatly, and his whole body started to tremble.
"Don't be afraid. As long as I'm here, the monsters won't dare to act arrogantly."
Senior Brother Six walked to He Ergou and took out the compass. The pointer automatically started searching for the direction.
This unique sound immediately attracted He Ergou's attention.
"Compass, it's compass..."
"Uncle He, have you ever heard of the compass?"
Zhao Xun felt very curious.
"I heard from the old people in the village that a compass can point to monsters and find evil spirits."
Zhao Xun thought to himself that he couldn't tell that Uncle He was still knowledgeable.
"Uncle He, can you tell us what the monster that is ravaging Taoyuan Village looks like?"
Zhao Xun felt a little ridiculous when he said these words.
He actually asked such a question to a blind man.
But his instinct told him that He Ergou was a strange person who could see unclean things.
You don’t necessarily have to use your eyes to see things, you can also use your heart.
And the other senses of people who are blind will be more acute.
"The monster...the monster hides during the day and comes out at night. It will sneak into the village after midnight to look for food. At first it attacked livestock and poultry. Later, the children in the village began to be poisoned by it. Then it was women and the elderly. In the end, even the young and strong cannot escape the poisonous hand."
He Ergou's voice was full of fear, and he said with a trembling voice: "This guy is very principled when hunting. He only preys on two people at a time. Nearly fifty people have been killed this month. Let's go to the neighboring county to report Official, but the county magistrate didn’t care at all. In the end, I didn’t expect that Zhou Yicheng came to help.”
Zhao Xun was shocked when he heard this.
Is this really a ghost creature like Zhi Kui and Zhi Ba?
You must know that these yin objects are refined from corpses. They are essentially dead objects, but there are still some remaining souls in the body, and their ability to think independently is limited.
However, the thinking and execution ability displayed by this monster are definitely not what ordinary corpse demons and corpse bosses can display.
It is possible that it is really a demon rather than a demon.
Zhao Xun has always been very vague about the boundaries between demons and demons. This time he may be able to take advantage of the opportunity to clarify the difference between the two.
"Uncle He, don't worry. If this monster dares to come again this time, I will tell him to never come back."
Zhao Xun clenched his fists and swore secretly.
…
…
The moon is dark and the wind is high, the sky is full of murders and arson.
The same applies to monsters.
A mandrill drifted down from the mountain ghostly and landed in the col where Taoyuan Village is located.
Mandrills are a species of mountain ghost that make a living by hunting birds and beasts in the mountains all year round.
Generally speaking, mandrills will not actively harm people.
But this mandrill was different.
This time he accidentally tasted the blood of an herb collector who fell off a cliff, and he began to like hunting humans.
Compared with poultry and livestock, human flesh and blood is more suitable for mandrills.
In its opinion, human flesh is more delicious and juicy, and it will suck the blood desperately every time until the corpse becomes a mummy.
Although people are delicious, mandrills still maintain restraint and moderation.
Because he knew that if he went on a killing spree and killed all the villagers in Taoyuan Village, he would not be able to enjoy such delicious food for a long time.
It is easy to go from frugality to luxury, but it is difficult to go from luxury to frugality.
The mandrill has tasted the taste of humans and is no longer willing to hunt game or livestock.
He wants to enjoy these villagers slowly until the last villager is hunted.
At that time, he will probably go to another mountain top, find another village, and start over again, and the cycle begins again.
But it's obviously not that time yet.
"Hiss, hiss..."
The mandrill stuck out his tongue and felt the night wind man's essence.
So delicious, so mouth-watering.
The mandrill couldn't bear it any longer, not even for a moment.
With a few deft jumps, he sneaked into the village.
This village is very popular, and the mandrill instinctively pounces towards the most popular location.
Start hunting in the most popular areas so that you can continue to hunt.
strangeness…
When the mandrill came to this spacious stone room again, he instinctively frowned.
I had the impression that he would never come to this house every time he came to the village, because this house exuded very little popularity and only contained a blind old man.
Why is it so unusual today?
The mandrill was very vigilant. He exhaled tentatively and saw a wandering spirit floating into the yard, making strange noises.
Sure enough, the courtyard was suddenly filled with golden light.
A piece of gold filament as big as a fish was covered from above, firmly suppressing the wandering soul.
The wandering soul was burned with gold and screamed hysterically.
It didn't take long for the wandering soul to fly away.
The mandrill was shocked. There was indeed a scam in this courtyard. There should be a magic spell master who was proficient in divine arts and had set up a large array. If he had just rushed in rashly, he would probably end up no better than the wandering soul.
If something goes wrong, run away.
The mandrill was about to run, but at this moment a silver-white dragon came whistling in the wind from behind.
He instinctively kicked his legs and leaned back. Even so, the dragon's claws still tore off a piece of flesh on his chest.
Time is dripping with blood.
The mandrill's blood was green, dripping down his body.
It endured the severe pain and tried to escape backwards.
Its wounds began to heal as it escaped, and it soon returned to its original state.
Mandrills can heal themselves from non-lethal wounds and will not die unless their heads are beheaded.
But it felt fear.
After living for five hundred years, this mandrill felt fear for the first time.
The dragon chased after the mandrill, and gradually the mandrill found that his route was blocked.
Standing in front of him at this moment was a handsome young man, holding a sword with white light in his hand.
