Hidden Mountain Demon

Chapter 12 Mahu
"Gah! Monster catcher?"

"Correct."

"What attracts the demon pill, search the demon disk?"

"Ah."

"—ga—"

"..."

That day, Ban Cang hurried back and stayed in the tree hole with Chi Zui until late at night.

Guessing that the group of people should have gone out of the mountain, they just walked out of the tree hole, ran back to the Jishui pool in a hurry, and then plunged into the hole.

The news Ban Cang brought was a bit scary.

After one bird and one beast calmed down their panic in the cave.Big eyes staring at small eyes, looking at each other in blank dismay.

Chi Zui, who lived in the mountains and forests since he was a child, has never encountered such a situation. If Ban Cang was very interested in those hunter woodcutters who went into the mountains before, he followed him curiously to see them several times, otherwise he would not even see them. I don't know what it looks like.

As for Ban Cang, think about these creatures that may be called the same kind in the previous life, but now they are inexplicably targeting themselves.Outrageous all right.

"Gah, we don't have any grudges against them, don't we have any grudges?"

"……No"

"Beasts in the mountains can also be said to grab territory and meat. These... are far away, right?"

Blinking his eyes, his red-mouthed little head couldn't figure it out.

"Anyway, we have to make plans early." Ban Cang wanted to end this uncomfortable exchange as soon as possible.

"Why!"

"...", "Why? Because they are better than us, because they will kill us when they come."

Ban Cang let out an angry roar, staring blankly at the color pool outside the cave.

A strong sense of helplessness came over me,
Just the two of them, a leopard who can't spit out a demon pill and can't separate from its body, and a red-billed crow that hasn't even refined its bones, what do they have to fight with others.

They have teachers, they have companions, they have magic weapons, they can run away if they can't beat them, they have a base camp, what do they have, they don't even know why they come to kill them.

They can only wait on this mountain, and they have to stay next to each other if they can fight or not.

Have to be next to each other?

……

All night
The birds and beasts in the cave stared outside with scarlet eyes, not wanting to go out.

"Chizui, what do you think the outside of Da Cang Mountain is like?"

"Gah?... I heard from those birds that fly south every autumn that there is a very wide river in the southeast of Da Cang Mountain, and there is a big mountain range in the past of the river. They also said that Da Cang Mountain is just a piece of land compared with our Da Cang Mountain. Dui Dui,...the designation is a lie, how can there be such a big mountain. Our Da Cang Mountain, it takes me half a month to fly from the north to the south."

"Where is that mountain range?"

"I don't know—some say that the mountain is huge and boundless, and some say that after the mountain passes, there is a bigger sea. But only a few old birds have said it, and everyone doesn't believe it."

Seeing Ban Cang still staring outside in a daze.

Chi Zui paused and asked: "Do you know the sea? They say it is boundless water. No bird can fly over it."

Ban Cang was still in a daze, half-closed his eyes, and remained silent.

Chi Zui knew that Ban Cang was thinking about something, so he also closed his mouth and stopped talking.After several years of contact, Chi Zui knew that although his companion sometimes had some weird ideas, sometimes it was really interesting.

Quietness and depression returned to the cave.

However, this atmosphere did not last long.

"Tell me, is it possible for us?"

Ban Cang turned his head to look at Chi Zui, staring quietly at the other's red eyes, "I'm just saying, let's go to the south to see?"

"..."

Chi Zui avoided Ban Cang's sight, looked at the color pool outside, and remained silent.

As the breeze blows outside, a faint layer of ripples formed on the surface of the pool. It was peaceful and beautiful, as if hazy, and seemed a little unreal.

Last night, when Chizui planned to stay in the mountain and wait for those "people" to come and see the situation, Ban Cang searched for the memory in his mind, broke apart the broken pieces and gave Chizui the power and fear of human beings. described it.

Although Chi Zui didn't know how Ban Cang knew, he trusted his companion very much.

If those people entered Da Cang Mountain again, I'm afraid they would have no chance to escape.

However, looking at the familiar vegetation in the valley, Chi Zui felt an unspeakable depression in his heart.

"That's all, that's all"

Leopard said before that if you stop and stop, you will suffer chaos.I also said that if the green hills are kept, I am not afraid of lack of firewood.

So Chi Zui nodded heavily towards Ban Cang.

A conclusion was reached.

Birds and beasts began to pack up, and there were several exotic weed fruits in the mountains, but most of them were not yet ripe when they were discovered.

Now, regardless of Sanqi 21, let's eat it.

And going to the south is not so simple. Going down from the mountain, there is a land of ten or twenty miles before you can reach the big river. The ten or twenty miles are basically plains, and the most important thing is that there are human gathering places by the river.

So, in the following days, while the birds and beasts devoured the fruits of the exotic plants, they also kept asking the beasts in the mountains about the way to the river and the situation of human beings.

three days later.

After everything was ready, Ban Cang and Chi Zui were going to hunt a wild animal in the mountains, and after having a delicious meal, they were going to leave the mountains and forests where they had lived for many years.

One bird and one beast got into the mountain forest, flew up to the sky with their red beaks and circled to investigate, and soon found a stray roe deer.

When the prey found it, they didn't think too much, and just surrounded it. How could ordinary beasts withstand these two demonic beasts with demonic aura? Once the demonic aura was released, the deer's limbs softened and let it be slaughtered. The two had a full meal. After a meal, I was planning to pack up and go on the road.

Ban Cang's ears moved, and he heard the prey approaching, he simply greeted Chizui, restrained his breath, and hid his body, only waiting for the prey to come in and take it away for food storage.

After a while, the prey appeared, but Ban Cang frowned slightly after seeing it.

The prey was an old mixed-haired dog with thin, long hair.

But the old dog was looking around in a very humane way, with a dog nose sniffing around, as if searching for something, and his strange behavior was by no means like a wild beast in the mountain. Since that day, almost all the strange beasts in the mountain have been destroyed.

Looking at the strange old dog in front of him, Ban Cang, who was already frightened, was extra cautious.

After thinking about it for a while, looking at the shaggy-haired old dog, an idea popped up, maybe it was sent by the demon catcher.

Chi Zui made a paw gesture, and Chi Zui also saw that something was wrong, flew out quietly and circled around, but found nothing unusual.

Seeing that the old dog was about to go far away, Ban Cang thought to himself, let's try it first.

Changing his body to a normal size, he jumped up from his hiding place and rushed straight at the old dog. The old dog felt the wind behind him, flinched its neck and rolled on the ground, narrowly avoiding it.

Ban Cang was just trying it out, but the old dog's reaction was definitely not that of an ordinary beast, it immediately bared its fierce teeth, and rushed towards it, the old dog saw clearly that it was a leopard, instead of running away, it lowered its head and hummed inwardly, a faint mist floated from its body, but It's evil spirit.

Ban Cang was even more surprised. With a soft growl, the strong demonic aura escaped vigorously, dispelling the old dog's demonic aura. Before the old dog could react, a huge leopard claw had already slapped it, and immediately threw it two feet away. , two ribs were probably broken.

The old dog hurriedly struggled to get up, but his limbs trembled and he couldn't move. Seeing the big leopard approaching step by step, every time the beast's paw hit the ground, it felt like stepping on his own heart, and a strong breath of beast came out from his mouth and nose. , stimulating the mind.

"Ah..."

A leopard roar sounded, and the old dog closed his eyes and shouted
"My lord, please forgive me, I am a good demon, I am a good demon."

After the old dog finished yelling, he felt the breath stagnant around him, and opened his eyes slightly, only to find that the leopard's head was already close to him, and his mouth was only a stroke away from his own dog's head, and his heart couldn't help but miss two beats.

"What a monster? I know all the monsters in the mountains, but I haven't seen you before?"

"I'm such a monster, I——I just went up the mountain." The old dog said in a panic.

"Oh?"

Ban Cang became more and more curious when he came up the mountain at this time.Unknowingly, the momentum has increased a bit.

"What's your name, where did you come from? What are you doing up the mountain? Be honest, if you lie, you will be slapped to death."

The old dog couldn't help but clasped its front paws together and cupped its hands:

"Yes, yes, your majesty is taking away the thunder's wrath temporarily, let me tell you in detail, Mahu, I originally practiced in Cangcheng, forty miles below the mountain, but Cangcheng is not suitable for living recently. I heard that there are people with powerful magic power in the mountains nearby The demon king practiced cultivation, so he came here to seek refuge, King Wanwang took him in, and I would like to follow the king through thick and thin, no matter what."

A sour, Wen Zou Zou smell hit the face.

Ban Cang didn't care either.

"Oh? You said that Cangcheng is not easy to live in now. What's the reason?"

"Your Majesty is really wise, and you can see the key at a glance. Cangcheng is rich in products, and it is also a good place to practice. You can practice freely in the city. It's just that a few days ago, a group of demon hunters came from nowhere, and their methods were ruthless. Spicy and tight."

The old dog raised his head slightly to look at the vicious leopard, without any expression on his face, and continued:

"The group of demon hunters searched and killed most of the elves and monsters in the city in a few days. Looking down at the city, no matter how difficult it is to live in, and life is always in danger, so they had to leave their homes. Pity my two or three friends. folded in the city."

After speaking, the old dog squeezed out a few tears from the corners of his eyes and wiped them with a dog's paw.

Ban Cang was more concerned about his own safety. Hearing the news of the demon catcher, he hurriedly asked:
"How many monster catchers are there? How capable are you? What are you doing in the city?"

The old dog paused and thought about it:
"I heard that there are fifteen or sixteen people, but I don't know what they are capable of. It's just that there was a cat mandrill in the city before, who was very skilled in Taoism, and was found by the group of demon hunters, and he was killed in about an hour. , Thinking about it, it’s very tight. As for their coming to Cangcheng, it seems that they want to establish a sect.”

As he spoke, he secretly looked at the expression of the leopard in front of him, not knowing whether his answer was appropriate or not.

The leopard raised its head and roared toward the forest, and a giant bird the size of a millstone flew out of it.An old dog that had just struggled was frightened and fell to the ground again.

"Take it back? Discuss it again?"

The leopard ignored the old dog lying on the ground, and asked the giant bird.

"it is good"

The giant bird responded.

　Yuanzuo at the beginning of the year, auspicious day Weiliang, I wish everyone a prosperous new year and a bright future!
