Chapter 168 15．Suspicion rises from the ice lake guest
"Master, why don't you just kill these guys?" Zou Yi asked Shen Yunfei after entering the tavern.

"Why kill them? They are not demons. Just like you, they are also citizens of Shangjing County." Shen Yunfei turned his head and looked at Zou Yi.It seems that even with himself, using the method of devouring still has some side effects-the murderous aura of the two of them has become very heavy.

"That's different." Hong Lie shook his head and said: "These people are very murderous, and their souls are red, which means that they have killed many people, and their souls have demonic nature. If such people are not eliminated, it will be harmful to Shangjing. "

Shen Yunfei turned his head and glanced at Hong Lie again, he was not shaken by what he said, but nodded slightly - yes, he has already practiced to the point where he can see the soul energy.

If the most important thing in the Setting Sun Art is to cultivate the ability to control, then the most important thing in the Art of Shooting the Moon is to practice eyesight.It is indeed very good to be able to see the soul energy in such a short period of time.

"Is it because you know this that you said what you just said?" Shen Yunfei turned to look at Zou Yi again.

"That's right." Zou Yi nodded.

If it was just an ordinary commoner, or like those people in Hongyunzhai, Zou Yi would never say such a thing.But when he knew that the soul energy of the people in Binghu Town was actually red, he changed his mind.

For the soul energy to turn red, how many people do you need to kill?Naturally, people like this can't stay, but Shen Yunfei doesn't let them kill them.

"Everything can't be generalized." Shen Yunfei said: "Even if they are demons, it doesn't mean that they are evil people. Maybe there are other reasons? I said that I will not let go of the people of Shangjing County. Stay here for a few days and find out the truth of the matter before we talk about it.”

The truth of the matter?
Zou Yi and Hong Lie looked at each other, but could not refute.The soul energy is all red, such a person, could he be a good person?Those people are clearly full-fledged robbers!Executioner!
"Look more and you will know." Shen Yunfei waved his hand, without further explanation.

*********************************
Looking at the "snowmen" in the snow, the residents of Binghu Town showed a hint of helplessness.Even though they have long been used to seeing life and death, when the dead are people they are familiar with, even leaders, it is difficult for people not to feel heavy.

They don't know how these people died, but they know why they died.Everyone looked at the door of the tavern in unison, shook their heads, and then retreated.

What if you don't go back?Revenge?

Since the other party could kill Boss Yuan and the others so easily, what's the difference between going there and dying?Even not only to die, but even with the whole family, I am afraid it will be difficult to have any hope of surviving.

Everyone in Binghu Town understands a truth. When the opponent is too strong to compete, revenge will have no effect. It will only bring greater disasters to other people and their relatives.

"It's strange, those people didn't respond, but they all retreated." Zou Yi looked at the residents who dispersed outside the door, showing a puzzled look.

"It's a bit weird." Hong Lie was also looking outside and said something.

"What's weird?"

"Soul Qi." Hong Lie said: "If we say that those people we saw last night, their soul gas turned red because of too many killings, but just now, I saw a child under three years old in a woman's arms. Baby, the soul energy is also red."

"What?" Zou Yi was stunned.

It is absolutely impossible for a child under three years old to kill someone.Then how could his soul energy be red?

Could it be that there is really another reason for this?
Shen Yunfei was upstairs, of course he knew what his two subordinates were doing.However, he didn't ask, and didn't have any more orders.

Some things must be seen with their own eyes and heard with their own ears before they can be believed.Otherwise, there will be too many doubts, which is not always a good thing for cultivation.

*******************************************
Perhaps it was because of Shen Yunfei's order, or maybe it was because of the strange color of the soul energy that caused the two of them to have doubts. In any case, Zou Yi and Hong Lie did not provoke those residents again.And those residents naturally did not dare to come to this tavern again.

It's bright day.After a few days of heavy snow, it gradually cleared up.

Even if that happened, the residents of Binghu Town still had to live.As soon as the snow stopped, people began to come out of the door to clear the snow beside the door.The chimneys on the roof are also rising up with curling smoke.

"The eyes of these people are very strange." Zou Yi held a long sword in one hand, walked outside the door of the tavern, and said to Hong Lie who was leaning against the door.

"It's very strange." Hong Lie nodded: "When something like this happened, they acted as if nothing happened. What does that mean?"

"It means that things like this often happen here, and they are already numb." Zou Yi said: "Can you be so numb to the people around you, isn't that cold-blooded?"

"I'm afraid there are other reasons." Hong Lie shook his head.The blood-red soul energy on that child in the morning still makes it difficult for him to understand.That's obviously still an ignorant child, how could...

"Have you noticed that there is another very strange thing here." Hong Lie said suddenly.

"what?"

"In the entire town, there is no old man." Hong Lie said: "36 households, there are women and children, but no old man. The oldest one is all under 40 years old. What's the reason?"

"Uh..." Hearing this, Zou Yi frowned.Indeed, this town has been around for quite some time, and it stands to reason that it is impossible that there is not even an old man.But now...

The two of them were feeling puzzled when suddenly a sound came from a distance, as if from the direction of the frozen lake.

At this time, those people who were clearing the snow outside the door all showed nervous expressions, and they all glanced in the direction of the tavern in unison.

"What are they looking at?" Zou Yi asked.

"I'm looking at these people." Hong Lie pointed to the "snowmen" at the door.Then, he pointed to the direction of the ice lake: "I think this should have something to do with those guys."

In the blink of an eye, there was no one to be seen on the streets of Binghu Town.Those who were still sweeping snow at the door just now also hid in the house.The town was terribly quiet, and the atmosphere became more and more strange, and the weird sound just now was getting closer and closer.

The sound was as if something was scratching across the ice, and it sounded very fast.After a while, four huge monsters covered with gray scales appeared outside the town, each with ropes and wooden frames tied to their backs, and behind them was dragging something that looked like a cart but not a cart, and a plow that was not a plow.And on that thing, each stood alone.

No, those are not human beings, each of them is at least one foot five in height, how could a person grow to such a size.

Those things were getting closer and closer, and the two of them finally saw the situation in front of them clearly.The huge monster pulling the "cart" in front is actually a gray-scaled snow dragon unique to the snow, while the one standing behind is clearly - a wild monster!
The "car" running at the front hung a flag made of animal skin and bone, with a blood-red eye painted on the flag.

"Snow Rock Clan!" Hong Lie was taken aback and stood up from the door.

"What is that?" Zou Yi asked.

"You are not from Shangjing, so of course you don't know." Hong Lie said: "Xueyan is a tribe of barbarians, and their symbol is a blood-red eye. I just heard about it, but I didn't expect to see it with my own eyes. These guys , what are you doing here?"

Just as he was talking, he saw that one of the barbarians had got off the strange car, walked into the town slowly, and knocked on the doors of the residents one by one.

Every time a door was knocked, a bag was handed out from inside.The bag is not big, but it looks heavy.The barbarian weighed the bag in his hand, but without looking at it, he threw it onto the strange car behind him.

"What is this doing?" Zou Yi asked.

"I don't know, it seems to be collecting something?" Hong Lie said.

Just as he was talking, the barbarian had already walked near the tavern.

Those "snowmen" were still standing outside the door, Man Yao sniffed and sniffed after approaching, showing a very strange expression, then looked at Hong Lie who were standing at the door, and staggered away Come here and hold out your palms to the two of them.

"What is this for?" Zou Yi asked.

"How would I know." Hong Lie shook his head, and continued to stare at the Man Yao who had come to him.

Not far away, all the residents quietly opened their windows or doors, as if they were peeping at the evening.

There seemed to be a trace of sympathy on their faces, and it seemed a little gloating.

But in the next second, every peeping person was stunned by what he saw.

Suddenly, a red light flashed, and the head of the wild monster suddenly tilted back.

Instead of looking up, his head just fell backwards, with a hint of anger on his face.On the neck, dark red blood surged like a fountain, and the whole body fell straight down.

Seeing this situation, several wild monsters in the distance let out strange screams and rushed straight towards the town.

"Stretch!" "Stretch!" "Stretch!"

There were three soft beeps in a row, and the three cold lights shot at the three wild monsters almost in no particular order.And in the blink of an eye, they all fell down one after another, each with a black wooden arrow stuck between their brows.

The four gray-scaled flood dragons seemed to be stupefied by fright, not knowing whether to move forward or retreat.Hong Lie and Zou Yi didn't intend to stop there, they raised their swords and bows, and they wanted to strike.

"Leave these ground dragons, maybe there is still some use." A lazy voice came from the tavern.

Since Shen Yunfei had already spoken, the two of them naturally had no reason to fight again.

The two stretched out their hands and pulled the reins tied to Dijiao's body, pulling the four strange cars over.These four gray-scaled flood dragons were originally fierce beasts, but for some reason, they became extremely obedient at this time.

Zou Yi casually opened the bag on the "car" and looked inside. There were bacon, bread and other things inside.Opening another bag, in addition to the bacon pastry, there was an extra wolf skin.It's the same for most of the others.

"I thought it was something good, but it turned out to be these." Zou Yi showed the bag in his hand to Hong Lie.

After Hong Lie looked at it, he couldn't help being taken aback for a moment, as if he suddenly remembered something, but he wasn't sure, but his eyes fell on a few "snowmen" standing at the door.

"Ask if you don't understand." Shen Yunfei's voice came from upstairs.

"Ask? What are you asking?" Zou Yi was confused.

"Ayi, do me a favor. Unlock the restraint on this person. I have something to ask him." Hong Lie pointed to one of the "snowmen" and said.

"What are you doing?" Zou Yi frowned, but walked up to the "snowman" as he said.

This... What is this going to do?Those peeping through the window had just woken up from the shock, but they were attracted by the situation in front of them in the blink of an eye.

In the astonished eyes of these people, a red light shrouded the "Snowman", the snow accumulated on his body began to melt slowly, and the face covered by ice and snow gradually revealed.It was that machete and fireskin cap——Hei San'er.

Hei San'er knelt on the ground, his whole body trembling uncontrollably, and his eyes were full of unconcealable fear.

"Didn't I die? How did I come back to life? Could it be that these people... are monsters?"

The eyes of the people in the town also widened, and they couldn't believe it was true.It's unbelievable that people who are already dead can still come back to life.

"Your name is Hei San'er, right?" Hong Lie looked at Hei San'er who was kneeling in front of him, and asked coldly.

"Yes... the younger one is called Hei San'er." Hei San'er replied tremblingly.

"Let me ask you, what is going on with these wild monsters? Why do you give them food?"
