After passing through the cannon fodder villain in the book, the heroine confessed to me

Chapter 32 Fire Crow
"Old man, we are all disciples of the Hanyue Immortal Sect. We came here to investigate the disappearance of the villagers by the order of the sect."

Jiang Miao didn't correct the old man's title of "immortal", because these people couldn't tell the level of practitioners at all.Rushing to deny it will only make them lack confidence, thinking that people like themselves can't get rid of the demon.

After getting Jiang Miao's affirmative answer, the old man immediately showed joy and bowed to several people.

"Neglecting the Immortal, neglecting the Immortal, this old man is surnamed Guo, and Tim is the head of this Ningyuan Village. In the past few days, we were really frightened by that thing. Fortunately, the Immortal finally arrived today."

This old man looked to be six to seventy years old at least, which was considered an advanced age among mortals who were unable to cultivate.Jiang Miao and others naturally refused to accept his great gift, so Xu Tao stepped forward and helped the old man up.

"Grandpa, don't stand at the entrance of the village and talk. Let the immortals enter the house first. If there is anything, let's sit down and talk."

"Hey, this old man is really in a hurry, Hei Wa, come on, lead the way, please go to my house for tea first."

The young man turned around and left, followed by Jiang Miao and the village chief. At this time, most of the villagers had already left their homes.Bai Yuanqing took a few glances and asked with some doubts.

"Dare to ask the village chief, I see that your village is prosperous, at least there are hundreds of households, why are they all old and weak, women and children, and there are no males?"

Hearing this, the village head let out a long sigh, pointed to Hei Wa who was leading the way and his child who was holding his hand, and said bitterly.

"Since three months ago, a total of 42 people have disappeared in our Ningyuan Village. These people are all young men. If things go on like this, who would dare to continue to live here? Right now, in our village, except for Youwa and Heiwa, all other young men have gone to the city to seek refuge."

While talking, several people had already arrived at the village chief's house. The room was not big, but there were also doors and houses. The layout of one light and two dark ones was in the middle to entertain guests, and the two sides were living places.

There is no luxurious decoration in the living room, but it is very clean. The village chief called Hei Wa to pour tea for everyone, but Jiang Miao stopped him.

"Village chief, let's skip these hypocrisy. Tell us what happened to those missing people. Also, just now you said 'that thing', has anyone seen its true face?"

The village head nodded and said, "That's right. Originally, we only knew that someone was missing, but no one knew the specific situation. It was as if the missing person disappeared out of thin air. But just three days ago, that thing suddenly appeared in our village, and everyone saw its true face."

"What is it?"

"It's a ball of fire. It flew into the sky of our village in broad daylight. Uncle Changgui and Brother Guo were sucked into the sky by it. When it fell again, there was only one head left."

Seeing that the village chief couldn't get to the point for a long time, You Wa couldn't help but speak directly.

The village chief was not surprised, but his eyes were red, and he added something choked up.

"It shouldn't be a ball of fire. At that time, I heard its cry. It was a bit like a crow, but I couldn't identify what it was with the naked eye."

Seeing the village chief crying, Hei Wa explained to Jiang Miao and the others in a low voice: "Forgive me, the gods, the brother Guo who was arrested...is the son of the village chief."

"I'm sorry, village chief, please express your condolences."

"Hey, we farmers are born with a life that is lower than grass. Lu Ming suffered a tragic accident, and it is also his fate. I dare not blame others. I only hope that you can get rid of this evil beast as soon as possible, so that others will not be cruelly murdered again."

As soon as the voice fell, there were already tears.Xu Tao couldn't bear it, got up and patted his chest to reassure.

"Village chief, please rest assured, killing demons and eliminating demons is our duty, and we will definitely give you an explanation."

With Xu Tao taking the lead, other people expressed their opinions one after another. Jiang Miao saw that everyone was excited, coughed lightly, suppressed everyone's voices, and then said.

"Village chief, please rest in peace, this monster will be handed over to us. However, there are still some details, I would like to ask other people in the village, I hope you can let everyone cooperate with us."

"It's natural, Hei Wa, you go with the immortal, let everyone listen to the immortal, say whatever you ask, and don't hide it."

Jiang Miao nodded in thanks, turned around and was about to leave, then suddenly turned around and said, "The village chief should be a scholar, right?"

The village head was taken aback when he heard the words, and then sighed: "When I was young, I knew a few words, and I was a teacher. I can't be regarded as a scholar. Why does the immortal ask this?"

"Oh, I just asked casually because I saw that the village chief's house is well-decorated. Then, I won't bother you for now."

After leaving the village head's house, Jiang Miao pondered for a moment, then said to Xu Tao and the others: "Brothers, it is difficult for ordinary people to recognize monsters. I'm afraid I won't gain much from asking the villagers, and I don't need so many people. I suggest that we leave one person in the village, and divide the others into groups of two to investigate outside the village to see if we can find the lair of this monster. How about it?"

Several people looked at each other, and it was Xu Tao who spoke first: "Senior Sister Jiang, you don't need to be humble. Among us, you are the strongest and your brain is flexible. Now that you have an idea, we should obey."

Therefore, except for Bai Yuanqing who was left behind among the seven, the others were divided into three groups, each of them conducted investigations along the east, west, and north directions of the village, contacted each other with jade slips, and agreed not to act without authorization in case of trouble.As for the south, it is a very deep cliff, unless there is no harvest in the other three directions, I will consider going there to have a look.

As for Qin Yunshuo and Tang Xiangling, they didn't say a word the whole time. After they decided on a plan, Qin Yunshuo simply turned around and left without telling anyone his whereabouts.

Naturally, it is impossible to say, after all, what he is going to do on this trip, there is no way to explain it to others.

Alone, he came to the southern cliff. After looking around, Qin Yunshuo turned his eyes to an open space. After visually measuring the distance, he took out a bunch of things from the storage bag and arranged them.

It wasn't until the sky started to get dark that Qin Yunshuo let out a breath of foul air and nodded in satisfaction.

[In this way, it is double insurance. 】

When they returned to the village, Jiang Miao and the others had all rushed back and were discussing something excitedly at the moment.

When Qin Yunshuo stepped in, he heard Xu Tao excitedly say: "It's not wrong. I checked carefully. That lair is quite high. It's made of stones inside and out. The closer you get, the hotter it gets. It must be the Fire Crow."

The fire crow, the evolution of the crow, is a fire-attribute monster.In its peak form, the three-legged Golden Crow can be called the incarnation of the Great Sun, a divine beast that can stand shoulder to shoulder with dragons and phoenixes.

Of course, the fire crow has not yet reached that level, at most it is only one level stronger than ordinary beasts.If it weren't for its ability to fly, it would be more than enough to fight it in the outer world.

"It should be true. Today, when I was investigating in the west, I found a feather of a fire crow. I can be sure that what the villagers saw that day should be a fire crow, but..."

While talking, Jiang Miao took out a big red tail feather about a foot long, which confirmed Xu Tao's conjecture from the side.But halfway through speaking, she hesitated.

"Just what?"

"Don't you think this matter is a bit strange?"
