Chapter 5 Prey?

Let’s talk about the place where Shen Gongbao was in seclusion.

The moon sets and the sun rises, and the morning mist dissipates.

Yang Chan rubbed her eyes and sat up, only to find that Yang Jian, who was supposed to be sleeping next to her, had disappeared.

All I heard was a series of tinkling sounds.

She got up in a daze and saw a small wooden house standing by the lake.

At this moment, Yang Jian's upper body was naked. Under the morning light, a wisp of mist was steaming from his body, and fine beads of sweat were all over his strong muscles.

Surrounded by mist, it looks like a god, reflecting a dazzling halo under the sunlight.

Yang Chan was stunned for a moment.

Yang Jian did not rest last night and was working all the time.

He felt that the Eight-Nine Profound Art was indeed worthy of its reputation. The more he did it, the more energetic he became, and the more he enjoyed it.

While he was busy, wisps of spiritual energy between heaven and earth rushed into his body and were refined by him. Part of it sank into his lower dantian, and the other part rose into the vertical eye between his eyebrows.

This is the realm of refining essence into qi as recorded in the Eight-Nine Mysterious Art, which refines the qi of heaven and earth, the essence of the sun and the moon, and strengthens the essence.

In just one night, he felt like he was reborn.

"Yang Chan, come and see what this room is like."

Upon hearing this, Yang Chan excitedly went into the wooden house to take a look.

"Great, finally I have a place to sleep~"

"Ow~"

A tiger roar was heard.

Yang Jian suddenly smelled a strong fishy odor coming from behind him.

There is no need to guess that the black tiger is right behind him.

"elder brother!"

Yang Chan wanted to run over.

Yang Jian stretched out his hand to stop him: "Don't come over, Hei Ye won't eat me."

Suddenly, a piercing pain came.

The black line on his chest was pointed towards his heart.

It was the black tiger that triggered the Heart-Eating Curse.

He could only grit his teeth and resist the intense pain.

Turning around, he saw the black tiger gradually approaching, his eyes full of questions.

"Where is my blood food?"

A voice suddenly echoed in Yang Jian's mind.

It turns out that this black tiger can talk.

Yang Jian was stunned at first, and then he immediately laughed at himself that he had traveled through time for more than ten years but had not yet adapted to this world.

As a tiger demon, what's so strange about being able to speak?

At this moment, he truly felt that serving the king was like serving a tiger. Yesterday, this black tiger seemed very easy to get along with, but now he was in agony just because of a disagreement.

"I'm asking you a question, why are you standing there?"

Hei Hu urged more and more urgently.

Yang Jian did not dare to be negligent. He endured the heart-wrenching pain and took out the leftover barbecue from last night and handed it over.

"Bang~"

The black tiger's huge claws slapped the piece of meat away.

"This is a gift from me. Don't try to fool me with it."

"Humans! What I want is humans. Only by eating humans can I practice. Go and grab three people. If you don't come back before dark, I will eat the little girl behind you first."

Yang Jian looked back.

Yang Chan was lying in the newly built cabin, looking over here with concern.

"Master Hei, please wait a moment. Yang Jian will be back soon."

Yang Jian ran wildly through the mountains and forests, following the route he remembered, heading for the town where he had lived the previous two days.

However, he was still too slow. Even after practicing the Eight-Nine Profound Art for a day, he only became a little stronger.

The town is at least dozens of miles away from the mountain.

The tiger demon arrived in a flash, but he was just a mortal.

By the time he brought back the blood food that the tiger monster wanted, Yang Chan had already been killed by the tiger.

He released the restraint on the vertical eye between his eyebrows, and his eyebrows suddenly cracked, revealing a bright red devil eye.

"I don't have time to talk nonsense with you. I need to find someone to make blood food for the black tiger, otherwise Yang Chan will be eaten. Tell me where there is anyone nearby."

"See for yourself!"

The devil's eye glowed red and connected with Yang Jian's consciousness.

In an instant, Yang Jian felt that the picture in his eyes had an extra layer of filter, and all the mysteries in the world were revealed in the eyeball between his eyebrows.

He identified the footprints on the ground and distinguished the signs of human activities.

"Click~"

There was a metallic clang. A trap suddenly closed.

If Yang Jian hadn't reacted extremely quickly, he would have been injured.

The animal traps indicate the presence of hunters.

And the hunter is his prey.

Yang Jian identified the footprints nearby and discovered several traces of human activities.

According to the information transmitted by the magic eye, these footprints were left not long ago.

A group of four people, carrying bows and arrows, holding spears, and each with a few bells tied around their waists, moved forward through the dense forest.

Judging from the appearance of these people, they are clearly the night watchmen who previously stopped Yang Jian from killing people.

"Xiao Li, how come we can't even catch a rabbit in Fuling Mountain now? It's really weird."

Xiao Li had just set up a trap. Hearing this, he looked at Wang Hu who had just spoken. He suddenly thought of a possibility and was immediately frightened: "Could the demon still be in this mountain and eat all the other animals?"

"Don't talk nonsense. You don't say anything nice every day, but you keep saying bad things. My wife is about to give birth. I came into the mountains this time just to find some money to nourish her body. Xiao Li, you don't even know how to say something nice."

The bearded man at the end of the team became unhappy when he heard this and started to scold Xiao Li.

"Puh, puh, puh~" Xiao Li spat three times in a hurry when he heard that. "Don't worry, Brother Afu. I have a few pieces of bacon at home. I'll bring them to you when I get back. Just let me be the child's godfather."

"Ha~ That's a must."

The bearded man agreed.

"Dingling bell~"

Suddenly, a bell on Xiao Li's waist rang, and everyone's eyes lit up.

In stock!
This is a special bell. As long as the trap is triggered, the corresponding bell will ring.

Several people hurriedly ran towards the corresponding direction.

Suddenly, another bell rang.

"It looks like a big one."

Xiao Li looked delighted: "Brother Fu, my sister-in-law can now take good care of her health."

Only large beasts can escape from the traps, and the traps they set are linked together so that the prey cannot escape.

"Dingling bell~"

"Dingling bell~"

Then, a dense array of bells rang out simultaneously.

The four people's expressions suddenly turned ugly.

There must be a demon in the abnormal situation.

These bells ring in sequence, which means something is following their trail, which is why the traps are triggered frequently.

The four of them leaned their backs together, drew their bows and arrows, their nerves tense, and looked around vigilantly.

"Click~"

The trap that had just been set made a sound of closing.

The four of them shot bows and arrows in the direction of the sound.

However, there was nothing there but the lingering sound of the trap.

"Come out now, you're playing tricks! We saw you."

Xiao Li looked around but saw nothing, only the rustling sound of fallen leaves in the wind.

swoosh~
There was a sound of something heavy falling behind me.

He turned around and saw Zhang Hu lying on the ground with a bloody stone beside him. He must have been knocked unconscious by the stone that attacked him from behind.

"Shuush~"

The voice came again from behind.

Another person fell to the ground, leaving only him and the bearded man.

"Brother Fu is probably dead this time. I'll stop the monster in the dark. You~you should run away quickly. Your sister-in-law is waiting for you at home."

Hearing this, the bearded man was troubled for a moment, then he hardened his heart: "Take care, brother. I will tell my uncle to lead a large army to search the mountain to find the monster and avenge you."

After saying that, he ran quickly into the distance.

"Whoosh~"

Another flying stone hit the bearded man hard on the back of his head, and he fell to the ground immediately, his life or death unknown.

Xiao Li was frightened and thought of the flying trajectory of the stone, and subconsciously looked behind him.

He looked back and was stunned for a moment, blurting out subconsciously: "Ghost!"

A young man suddenly appeared in front of me.

The young man was tall, with white smoke emanating from his body and an astonishing amount of heat.

The scarlet vertical eye between the eyebrows exudes a terrifying light.

This young man should have died at the mouth of the demon, why did he appear here?

Could it be that he had transformed into a fierce ghost and came to claim their lives in retaliation for them capturing him and tying him to a stake to be eaten by demons?
