I, the sycamore tree demon, have met a phoenix!

However, the ground cockroach also has its own enemies to deal with, and the longer it stays in the opponent's territory, the more danger it will bring to the opponent.

Therefore, although the earthworm didn't take the initiative to ask for the one-year deadline, it also consciously bid farewell to the other party and left the desert.

But besides this desert, who can it go to next?

The gold and silver rocs in Wushan?The jade-backed turtle in the South China Sea?Or the big demon flower roe deer of Qiankun Lake?

These are the existences that had a little friendship with it in the past, but if these existences were willing to take it in, then it would not have run into this desert a year ago.

And if you choose those unowned lands...

Then it must use its still seriously injured body to deal with those criminals in person.

In this way, let alone recuperating, if the strength of the comer is strong enough, it will probably be injured more and more, and it will be difficult to recover. Therefore, no matter what, the place where it lives must be safe enough.

But where can such a perfect place be found in this piece of southern land?

There is no way, the current it can only fly forward aimlessly in the air, crossing mountains and rivers.

In the end, I decided to visit those old friends who had clearly rejected me again.

After all, it is already desperate at this moment, and if it doesn't do this, it has no other choice.

........................

........................

At the same time, in the Changhe mountain range on the other side.

After six years of changes, the current Hebian Village has become completely different from before.

A simple wooden wall made of rows of wooden piles surrounded the entire village, and sentry towers several meters high were built in various conspicuous places.

A young and strong man stood on each sentry tower, watching the scene around the village vigilantly.

Compared with the ordinary small mountain village in the past, the safety factor of the Hebian Village at this time can be said to have increased several times.

And there is only one reason for this change.

That is the war in the South.

A year ago, after Danniao was defeated by the red python, the human race in the southern country suddenly rose up, assembled an army, and attacked the settlements of the major monster races in an instant.

The Yaozu, who had been looking forward to the war for a long time, was not to be outdone, and responded with a heavy counterattack in the shortest time, fighting with the human race.

Thus, after more than three hundred years, the war between humans and demons broke out again, and the flames of war swept across the entire country again.

Including their riverside village as well.

It didn't take long before many refugees escaped from the city, happened to find their entire village in the mountains, and subconsciously wanted to snatch food and clean water from them.

Fortunately, most of these refugees were so hungry that their eyes panicked, and they were easily captured by only a few villagers in the village.

Then they learned about the war in the southern country from these people, so the village head, He Shi, asked the villagers to build such a wall around the village.

"Have so many refugees come these days..."

Sitting in the room, looking at the newly added list in his hand, He Shi couldn't help pinching his blushing brows.

The long hours of work in the past few days can be said to have made his already aging body weaker. Now that he saw this newly added list, he felt a dull pain in his head.

"If you're tired, take a break. If you fall down, no one will be able to do your work." Liu Hu, who was sitting opposite him, took a sip of tea lightly.

He Shi couldn't help shaking his head when he heard what he said, and threw the list on the table a little helplessly.

"It would be nice if you had time to rest."

There is no way, their riverside village is now one of the few safe places near the Changhe Mountains. Most of the nearby refugees will choose to come here for help after hearing the news.

Therefore, the population of Hebian Village has changed from a few hundred people at the beginning to two hundred, three hundred, four hundred...

Up to now, more than [-] people have gathered.

Fortunately, in the past few years in their village, because of Liu Ya, each family has stored a lot of food. Coupled with the daily hunting during the day, it can barely support the consumption of the 600 people.

And when the number of people is too large, management becomes a problem. Although everyone is a refugee who fled here after a disaster, it is inevitable that there will be some villains among them.

Fortunately, there is still Liu Ya in their village, otherwise they really wouldn't dare to let so many people into the village.

Chapter No.16: Golden Toad Poison

"correct."

Thinking of this, He Shi couldn't help but raised his head, and looked at the person in front of him, "How is the back mountain? More and more little demons have come here recently, so there won't be any trouble?"

"Hey, you can rest assured about this, what could go wrong with my girl guarding there?"

Liu Hu held the teacup, smiled lightly and shook his head indifferently, with a bit of pride involuntarily in his words.

Since four years ago, when a group of little monsters disguised as a caravan came to the village, Liu Ya's strength has become a fact known to the whole village.

At that time, with her bare hands, she wiped out all the dozen or so little monsters by herself.Not even a drop of sweat appeared on her brow at the end...

Such an obvious gap can be seen by anyone with normal eyesight.

And this kind of thing is naturally not something ordinary people like them can compare.

"Too."

Recalling Liu Ya's performance over the years, He Shi couldn't help but smile slightly, feeling at ease.

With Liu Ya guarding there, what kind of disturbance can those little monsters cause?

"Father! It's not good!"

At this time, He Bai hurried in from the door.

"What are you panicking about? You're already in your decades, and you're still so frizzy..."

Seeing his urgent expression, He Shi couldn't help but put down the teacup he just picked up, frowned and gave him a few words of habitual reprimand.

"Someone is making trouble again?"

"no!"

He Bai shook his head vigorously and replied

, "It was the group of refugees a few days ago. Before they entered the village, several of them fell ill. They thought they were just catching a cold. But today, when my third uncle took people to inspect, I found that they were all sick. !"

"what?"

Hearing this, the expressions of the two of them changed, they looked at each other, and then quickly stood up one after another.

"Quick, show me!"

There are more than 50 refugees who came here a few days ago. The disease that can make more than 50 people fall ill is definitely not just as simple as wind and cold. If this speed of infection is not handled well, it is estimated that their entire village will be wiped out. .

……

"Cough, cough, cough!"

Under the simple earthen wall, there were coughing sounds one after another. Ragged, yellow and emaciated refugees fell in disorder in the courtyard, all of them looked weak.

And among this group of refugees, a disheveled young girl was gritting her teeth, suppressing the nausea in her body, holding her belly, and curled up in a corner of the courtyard.

"This damn golden toad poison..."

The girl's name is Li Han, and she is a collateral descendant of the Li family in the southern country. Because she has no talent for cultivation, she was sent by her parents to Baihe City, which is managed by the human race and is relatively safe, before the war started.

Unexpectedly, after only a few months, they encountered flying squirrels attacking the city.

The overwhelming flying squirrels, like black clouds all over the sky, flew directly over the city wall and into the city.

Anyone caught by them would be sucked dry within seconds. In just one night, they swept through most of the houses in the city and took countless lives.

She also used the magic weapon her mother left her to avoid demons when she left, so she escaped from the city and followed other fleeing refugees into the mountains and forests.

However, misfortunes never come singly, and within two days of entering the mountain forest, they happened to pass by a small stream, so the thirsty and hungry group couldn't care less, they just picked up the stream water and drank it.

Including Li Han, she didn't drink water for two days, and she felt that her throat was about to smoke, but it was a pity that after drinking it, the magic weapon on her body detected the abnormality in her body and gave her a warning.

It was only then that she realized that the water in this stream was poisonous, and it was also the poison of the most deadly golden toad.

It is estimated that the upstream part of the stream is connected to the habitat of the big demon toad, so the stream flowing down also contains a small amount of gold toad toxin.

As a result, more than 50 people in this line, including her, were all poisoned unknowingly, and the weak dose of poison made them last until last night before finally showing symptoms of poisoning.

It's a pity that when she escaped from Baihe City, she left in a hurry and failed to take a few detoxification pills, which led to the fact that even though she is a child of a big family, she also carries a magic weapon to avoid demons, and understands the truth about the diseases in everyone's body , also still has no effect.

Could it be that he was really going to die in this small village?

The girl couldn't help but have this thought.

But then, she gritted her teeth and shook her head vigorously.

Will not……

I only drank half a mouthful of stream water at that time, and I vomited it all up when I realized something was wrong. Logically speaking, even if there is still toxin in my body, it should not be fatal.

So, as long as I survive this period of time, it will be fine.As long as I can survive the current pain, my body may be able to excrete the poison on its own...

"Get out of the way! Get out of the way!"

At this time, there were bursts of shouts from outside the courtyard.

The girl subconsciously opened her eyes, turned her head and looked towards the gate of the courtyard.

Those who walked into the courtyard were two old men with gray hair and old age, followed by several militiamen with wooden spears and hunting bows on their backs.

Li Han knew them, having met them when he entered the village a few days ago.

The one with the cane was the head of the village, and although the other one didn't know what he did, he seemed to have a high status in the village.

Was it attracted by the phenomenon of being poisoned by these refugees?

Li Han immediately guessed the reason why they came here.

"This this……"

Walking into the Tuyuan, seeing the refugees inside one by one fell to the ground, life and death unknown, Liu Hu opened his mouth and stared, feeling a little at a loss for a while.

It was the first time he had seen such a sight.This scene of a large group of people, all falling ill to the ground.

He Shi, who is still able to become the village chief, naturally has a much higher vision than him.

After entering the courtyard, he immediately came to a refugee, squatted down, and began to check the situation.

After a while, Liu Hu asked him, "How is it?"

"The complexion is purple, and the black background is black. How could this be a cold... It's a bit like a symptom of poisoning."

He Shi frowned and stood up slowly.

"Poisoned?"

Liu Hu's eyebrows twitched. He knew that the other party had read the book, and he didn't doubt the authenticity of the other party's words.

"What do you mean? Could it be that there is a problem with the food in the village?"

"Wait, Uncle Tiger, you can't talk nonsense. The food we eat every day is cooked in one pot. If it is poisonous, the whole village can't escape. How can it be that only these refugees who just came in something happened."

He Bai who was following behind immediately panicked after hearing this.

You must know that he arranges the food for the militiamen and refugees every day. If something goes wrong here, his father will have to smash his head with a cane.

It was so stupid to write it during the day, and now I re-wrote it

Chapter No.17: Li Han's inner ups and downs

But Liu Hu didn't have time to talk to him, and his eyes were still on He Shi.

On the other hand, He Shi looked around at the refugees in the compound with a solemn expression, and said in a deep voice: "He's right, it can't be the food in the village, otherwise they wouldn't be the only ones involved in the accident."

It's not that he excused his son, but because of his personality, if he found out that everyone's food was really poisoned by his son for no reason, then he would probably take a kitchen knife and turn into Shura in the next second. He Bai chopped it into a meat paste.

But the poison these people were poisoned had nothing to do with the food in their village.

"Then why... wait, maybe they ate something poisonous before they came here?" Liu Hu suddenly widened his eyes and realized it.

"Oh, that should be it."

He Shi nodded with a long sigh.
