Chapter 2 Night Watch
Lu Qi came to the guard camp square.

Two men in black suits saw Lu Qi, smiled and walked over.

These two people, Lu Qi, knew each other, they were his teammates, and they both came to visit him when he was recovering from injuries.

One of them was Li Dajiang, a monkey-like short man with no flesh on his face. He liked to joke more.

Another man with a square face and a calm face is called Lin Wen. His personality is as calm as his appearance, and his cultivation is at the fourth level of Body Tempering.

Li Dajiang had a smile on his thin face:

"Yo, Xiao Qizi, you came here quite early?"

Lu Qi greeted with a smile:

"Brother Jiang, Brother Wen, because I've been resting for too long, I want to come here early to get used to it."

Lin Wen nodded slightly, with a calm expression and said:

"You have just recovered, so pay attention to your own safety when the time comes, the night watch is more dangerous than the daytime, you know."

"I know, thank you Brother Wen for reminding me."

Lu Qi laughed.

"Hey, it's Xiao Qi who recovered? Be careful this time."

"Xiao Qi, it's up to you tonight."

"..."

In addition to Li Dajiang and Lin Wen, there were other village guards from the escort team who also greeted Lu Qi with a smile.

After all, although Xiaoxi Village is not too big, it is also not small. It is naturally impossible to protect it just by relying on Lihu's team of six monks in the quenching state.

In addition to their team, there are other squads that will be encountered every time they patrol.

They are all from the same village, and the relationship between the village guards is like comrades-in-arms, and it has always been good.

Seeing that Lu Qi recovered, the other village guards came over to greet Lu Qi one by one.

Lu Qi also responded with a smile.

During the chat, Li Hu and two other teammates also came over one after another.

One of his teammates looks a bit gentle, he likes to read some books on weekdays, he is relatively quiet, his name is Jiang Tairan, and he is also at the fourth level of Body Tempering.

The other one is a woman named Lin Xiaoqiao, although she looks ordinary, but because of her success in body tempering, her figure is very hot, she is in the third stage of body tempering.

Everyone chatted and laughed, and time passed quickly.

The crimson sun slowly set from the western mountains, and the sky gradually turned from deep blue to black.

The daytime patrol team came back, and after the captains of the several teams were handed over, the daytime patrol team members left to rest, leaving only the night watchmen.

There are two teams keeping watch tonight, one is the Lihu team where Lu Qi belongs, and the other is the team whose captain is Zhang Liang.

Zhang Liang is a man with gray hair and looks not young. In Lu Qi's memory, he has been guarding the village for more than 30 years, and has been diligently guarding Xiaoxi Village.

He looked at Li Hu and said with a smile:
"Xiao Li, how about we go north this time, and you go south?"

The two teams are generally bounded by the central guard battalion, and one team is in charge of one side.

On the east side of the village, one side is north and the other side is south.

Li Hu grinned, nodded and said, "Old Zhang, you have the final say."

"Okay, let's go, the situation is still the same as before."

After Zhang Liang finished speaking, he led his team members towards the village in the north.

And Li Hu also looked at Li Dajiang and the others, and paused slightly when he saw Lu Qi.

He said: "Let's go too. This patrol is still the same. Dajiang and I are on the outside, Wenzi, you take Xiaoqi, Tairan takes Xiaoqiao, and you patrol inside."

Several people looked serious and nodded.

In addition to guarding the village entrance, the patrol team also had to guard the farmland, lest the ferocious beasts ruin the farmland.

If there is no food, the life of Xiaoxi Village will be sad.

Therefore, generally stronger patrol members will patrol on the outside towards the wild grassland, while weaker patrol members will be closer to the village entrance.

This arrangement was the same as in Lu Qi's memory.

Li Hu is at the sixth level of body tempering and is powerful. Most of the beasts that come out of the forest are not his opponents. Li Dajiang also has the fifth level of body tempering, so he is naturally patrolling outside.

And Lin Wen and Jiang Tairan are both at the fourth level of body tempering, and each of them brings Lin Xiaoqiao and Lu Qi, who are at the third level of body tempering, to patrol the inside.

After making arrangements, several people walked towards the south side.

In the dark night, stars and moons shed silver light, covering Xiaoxi Village.

Li Hu and others each carried a lantern and stepped into the field ridge.

Soon Li Hu and Li Dajiang walked towards the outside, Jiang Tairan also led Lin Xiaoqiao away from Lu Qi and Lin Wen.

Only Lin Wen and Lu Qi were left to form a team.

Lin Wen didn't talk much on weekdays. He looked at the lantern in his left hand and the saber in his right hand, looked at Lu Qi and said:

"Your injury is just right, follow me."

Lu Qi nodded slightly and smiled: "Okay."

His gaze scanned the surroundings. There is no industrial pollution in this world, and the sky is full of stars. Even if there is no sun, he can still see the general situation around him.

Moreover, the eyesight of the body-hardened cultivator has already improved. Although it is a little worse than that of the daytime, it is not bad.

Coupled with the lantern in his hand, everything around him can be seen clearly, and the muddy soil under his feet can be clearly seen.

The sound of insects in the farmland is endless, and the roar of beasts is recalled from time to time in the distance.

The light of the lantern in the distance, the dark shadows of the forest and mountains in the distance, and the shadow of Xiaoxi Village behind him formed the whole world in Lu Qi's eyes.

Lin Wen and Lu Qi patrolled the farmland in silence, watching their surroundings vigilantly, checking for any abnormalities.

There was nothing unusual in the middle of the night.

Just when Lu Qi was a little relaxed, a black shadow suddenly flashed past and rushed towards Lu Qi.

In the dark night, Lu Qi could see a pair of blood red eyes.

Lu Qi's spirit tensed up instantly, he didn't even think about it, the long knife in his hand made a sharp and ear-piercing scream, and drew a trail, coming first and wiping the black shadow's neck in an instant.

"Meow!!"

An extremely shrill scream crossed the night sky, and then black shadows landed heavily.

Only then did Lu Qi see clearly what the black shadow looked like.

It was a big black cat about one meter long with sharp teeth and claws.

In the memory, there is a memory about this beast.

Night owls, which specialize in foraging in the dark, move very little. They are one of the beasts that the village guards hate the most, because they are hard to spot.

This night owl specifically avoids being stronger than it, and finds someone weaker than it to attack.

Looking at Ye Mao's size, his strength should be about the same as Lu Qi's, and he is only around the third level of Body Tempering, but he didn't expect to have his eyes on him.

Lu Qi himself was also a little surprised. According to the memory of his predecessor, if he encountered this sneak attack by a night cat before, he might have suffered a lottery. He didn't expect that this time he turned back and killed him instantly.

During this week, Lu Qi endured the severe pain caused by the side effects of Xueyan Powder, coupled with the consumption of a lot of mental power, he raised the Door Severing Knife to the level of proficiency.

The door-severing knife of the proficient level, the experience of swinging the knife is almost engraved in the bone marrow, and its power is stronger than he thought.

Only then did Lu Qi think of Lin Wen next to him, he turned his head to look at Lin Wen, and saw that the long knife in Lin Wen's hand was still raised, but at this moment he stared blankly at Lu Qi, with astonishment on his calm face.

"Brother Wen, what's the matter?"

Only then did Lin Wen come back to his senses. He glanced at the corpse on the ground, then withdrew the long knife in his hand, and looked at Lu Qi with a hint of surprise in his eyes:
"That knife just now, beautiful! I seem to see the shadow of the captain."

Lu Qi smiled a little embarrassedly: "Maybe it's because he just recovered, he's in good condition, and this beast suddenly appeared, which startled me, and his potential exploded all of a sudden."

Lin Wen smiled: "This is a good thing. If you can keep it up, you may be better than the captain in the future. You are still young after all."

Lu Qi smiled: "I hope so."

At this time, he suddenly discovered a problem. He killed the night cat by himself, but he didn't have any fear in his heart?
Is it because your own strength has improved?
Or was it because he practiced before, and the blood brought by the side effects every day made him a little numb?

No matter what the reason was, it was a good thing that Lu Qi found himself adapting so quickly.
