The simple tea shop sat alone in the wilderness with heavy goose feather snow. The snowflakes piled up on the thatch on the roof, and the pile became thicker and thicker. After looking at it, people always worried about whether the rotten pillars could hold up.
In the thatched house next to it, a small fire swayed with warm light. Sometimes the insects in some firewood would be burned to a crisp, which was in sharp contrast to the cold wind howling outside the house.
A big black dog as strong as a yak lay quietly beside the fire, enjoying the warmth brought by the fire, repeating the comfort of every winter for more than 20 years.
Everything seems to be business as usual.
The new customers and the boss in the tea shop also chatted happily. They even talked about the land reclamation in the southwest thirty years ago, and also talked about some happy things from all over the world.
It's fun.
"Woo..."
Suddenly, the big black dog from the thatched hut suddenly came out, facing the direction of the village, letting out a low and ferocious roar, and pacing in place with an uneasy look.
"Dahei, what's wrong with you?"
After raising him for twenty years, Mr. Liu could tell at a glance that something was not right about his big dog.
Father Liu remembered that other people’s dogs in the village would behave like this when they were scared, and this was the first time for Dahei in the past twenty years. What made Dahei uneasy?
Dahei seemed to have realized something, or had a premonition of something.
Its cold and ferocious eyes turned to the several new guests, and then looked at Father Liu. What if he returns to the village now and Father Liu encounters danger?
But if it doesn't go back, it always feels that something terrible happened in the village. What it thinks of is Father Liu's wife, children and grandchildren. Those humans also accompany it and bring it a lot of care and joy. It is the legacy it left behind. The reason why he was reluctant to leave the village.
"It's warning, indicating that danger is occurring in that direction. Uncle Liu, is your village located over there?"
Yun Tianfeng stood up suddenly. His spiritual perception was extremely sharp. Even though it could not extend as far as the village, he could barely sense Dahei's emotions and deduce an answer close to the truth.
"What? Is the village in danger?" Father Liu was stunned for a moment, a little hesitant, but it was fleeting. His worries about his family quickly made him give up rational thinking. They walked around behind the stove and took out the The saber, which had been repeatedly polished and became thin, was about to rush towards the village, but he turned back before taking two steps. He said sorry, quickly untied the reins of Yun Tianfeng's horse, got on his horse, and ran towards the village. go.
"Uncle Liu, don't be impulsive, we will go with you." Yun Tianfeng and others immediately got on their horses, and the young man and Murong Yu rode on the same horse.
But before he had even taken two steps, Dahei blocked his way, menacingly.
"Black Moon Wolf King, we don't mean any harm, we really want to help. If you are worried, why don't you go with us?" Yun Tianfeng said. By this time, Old Man Liu had gone away, so there was no need to hide. Tuck it in, be honest and fair.
Hearing this, the black wolf not only did not get out of the way, but the ferocious aura on his body became stronger and stronger, and he seemed to be ready to enter the battle immediately.
Yun Tianfeng said anxiously: "I am a disciple of Kunlun. I use Kunlun's name as my guarantee. Please trust me, Black Moon Wolf King."
"Are you really a disciple of Kunlun?" Dahei spoke in human language for the first time.
"If it's fake, there's no time to delay at this time. Let us go quickly, otherwise Old Man Liu will be in danger." Yun Tianfeng urged.
Dahei just hesitated for a moment and stepped aside. Yun Tianfeng and others immediately galloped out and followed Old Uncle Liu's horse hoof prints.
"Ouch..."
The next moment, Dahei looked up to the sky and let out a loud howl. Immediately afterwards, on the opposite side of the ancient road, the roars of densely packed monster beasts echoed from a distance. Not long after, the figures of monster beasts rushed out from the wild forest one after another, seemingly endless.
These monsters are very different from spiritual beasts and magical beasts.
Although they are both special extraordinary beasts, the demonic beasts are ferocious and seem to have only desire and no reason. They practice demonic energy and are synonymous with killing. The spiritual beasts are elegant and gentle in character. Although there are also types with extremely strong combat capabilities, generally speaking , and humans can coexist peacefully and even get what they need.
Only monsters are independent in this world.
They form their own system and are also called monsters. When they reach a certain level, they can also transform into human bodies. During practice, they transform their spiritual power into demonic power. Different groups of monsters also have very different special talents and abilities, and they are all kinds of strange. Sometimes they are very cruel and hunt humans as food. Sometimes they are very proud and do not take all living things except monsters into their eyes and stay away from the world.
In less than a moment, thousands of monster beasts with varying levels of aura crossed the boundary line of the ancient road and came to the Black Moon Wolf. They all crawled on the ground. In the world of monster beasts, social status is clearly hierarchical, and among them , the rank of the bloodline is the natural authority.
"Ouch..."
The Black Moon Wolf roared again, and the frequency of the roar fluctuated. Immediately among the monster beasts, there was a huge fierce bird with a wingspan of fifteen or six meters long, pushing past the other monster beasts and approaching. It also spread its wings and half Kneel down with your head on the ground.
The Black Moon Wolf leaped forward and landed on the back of this ferocious bird. The ferocious bird immediately spread its wings and flew high, and the other ferocious birds in the herd followed closely behind, flying quickly from the sky to the village. The remaining monsters on the ground Then he spread his legs and chased after him.
After all, the thin and old gate could not resist the vigorous young man. He was kicked lightly and died, turning into several pieces and falling on the snow.
The chickens, ducks and geese at home were all screaming uneasily, but they couldn't avoid the pairs of big hands that pinched their necks or lifted them away by their wings.
"boom!"
A member of the Shanhe Gang kicked open the door and searched several rooms. There was nothing valuable. The only thing worth taking away was some food. However, they found a man in his fifties in the room on the right side of the room. woman.
The woman looked uneasy, sitting on the ground with her knees bent, holding a hatchet in front of her with trembling hands, but there was a strong will in her eyes.
Obviously, the old woman wanted to fight to the death, but her body's instinct was fear, which ran counter to her determination, making her look so powerless at the moment.
The gang member who had just entered the house was stunned for a moment. He held a knife in his hand and looked at the old woman in front of him. However, his mind instantly flashed to his mother, whom he had not seen for several years. Her charm was so similar that even she had gained weight in her later years. The figure was so similar to the old cloth shoes that he was reluctant to throw away. He hesitated.
"puff……"
However, in just such a moment of hesitation, warm blood splashed all over his face.
They are fellow gang members.
"What are you doing standing there in a daze? Lord Flag Master has said that no one can be left alive." His companion glanced at him and knew that there was nothing worth taking away in this room. When he turned around and passed by him, he glared at him fiercely, as if Dissatisfaction and warning are implied.
In a short time, every yard in the village was visited, and fresh lives were passing away in every yard.
A small group of gang members gathered together the children under the age of five who were still alive and drove them out of the village in the wind and snow, ignoring the children's cries.
"Master Flag Bearer, please tell us to keep as many children as possible."
Zhang Qi nodded slightly and ordered: "Children of this age are still very immature. Stay here first and use them as sacrifices when you come back to offer sacrifices. The sacrifice on the altar we are responsible for will go more smoothly. It will be a great achievement by then. Now you take the people to clean up the largest room in the village, and we will have dinner here later."
"Yes, sir!" The gang immediately accepted the order.
The flag-bearer called another person and said: "Hide the carriages and horses so that at least no trace can be seen outside the village. Then tell everyone to go into the village and quiet down. We will wait here until dark."
"Yes, as ordered."
At this time, Yi Han turned his gaze to Zhang Qi with doubts.
His mission was to ensure the safety of the escort team along the way. The sooner it was over, the sooner he would be liberated. He didn't want to delay it too much.
Zhang Qi did not dare to neglect, and explained: "The special envoy does not know something. The people in these villages get up early and stay up late. Especially the closer they are to the mountains and wild places, the more hunters there are in the villagers. These hunters often go into the mountains before dawn. If they When we come back and find that there are no living people in the village, we will definitely report it to the officials. This is not what we want, so we hide in the village and wait for the hunt, and kill the hunters one by one when they return, trying to ensure that what happened here will not be spread out."
While the two were talking, suddenly a member of the gang who was in charge of alert rode his horse until he was beside Zhang Qi and said: "Master Zhang Qi, there seems to be a fast horse in the southwest. It is expected to arrive at the village in less than half an hour. .”
The village is halfway up a high mountain. You can see very far from a high place. Moreover, in the winter, when you are exposed to the snow, horses can't even run fast on the ground, let alone climb the mountain. It takes half an hour to go faster. of.
"Are they villagers?" Zhang Qi asked patiently.
The gang replied: "It should be so. Although it looks like the guy is holding a weapon from a distance, simple clothing is the style of this village."
Zhang Qi narrowed his eyes slightly: "Call a few brothers..."
"Forget it, I'll go take a look." Before the flag-bearer could send someone to attack and kill him, the bored masked envoy Yi Han said casually, and the horse slowly changed its direction and swung down the mountain toward the southwest.
Zhang Qi looked at Yi Han's retreating back and snorted softly, "What a bullshit special envoy, you are still putting on airs, what the hell."
The cold wind is getting stronger and stronger, the snowflakes are getting bigger and bigger, and the weather is getting colder and colder.
Dressed in white and wearing a cold silver mask, Yi Han poured into his mouth two mouthfuls of rice wine collected from the village. The taste was rough, but very spicy and interesting. It flowed into his stomach, and the energy was like a drink from his throat. The fire burned all the way to the chest, and then exploded in the body, and the body no longer felt cold.
"Um?"
Suddenly, Yi Han, who was waiting for Father Liu to come to his door on his own initiative, narrowed his eyes and raised the corners of his mouth slightly: "It's true that we meet each other everywhere in life. I don't need to go looking for revenge after completing my mission, so I will deliver it to my door. It's interesting." !”
