All the people in the village gathered together, holding spears and looking nervously, staring ahead with all their concentration.
In front of them was a small wolf that was more than three feet long. It looked like an ordinary wild dog, but it exuded a ferocious aura that made people shudder.
Especially those eyes, full of bloodthirsty coldness, made these hunters who had been fighting against monsters all year round extremely nervous, as if this little guy was more terrifying than ordinary monsters.
Originally, everyone was resting, but suddenly the dolls in the yard let out a scream of terror, which attracted everyone's attention.
When they saw the little wolf, they were all frightened. Their fence was covered with poisonous thorns. The monsters were naturally afraid of such things and would not force their way in.
But this monster actually broke in, which immediately aroused everyone's alert. They all picked up their weapons and rushed towards the monster.
"stop"
A voice came, and a figure was like a whirlwind, holding the extremely fierce monster in its arms.
That person was none other than Long Chen. He couldn't believe his eyes. That monster turned out to be Xiaoxue.
At this time, Xiaoxue had grown up a lot, but the white fluff that was originally covered in snow was covered with mud and there were a lot of blood stains.
There were no fewer than dozens of wounds all over his body, and blood was still dripping from several places. In some places, bones could even be seen, which was very scary.
"Woooo..."
When Xiaoxue saw Long Chen, the fierceness in her eyes immediately disappeared without a trace, replaced by warmth and attachment, and her head rubbed against Long Chen's face.
When everyone saw Long Chen suddenly hugging an extremely dangerous monster, their faces turned pale with fear.
That was a magical beast. It was violent in nature. Even a young magical beast had more powerful attack power than ordinary beasts.
But the performance of that magical beast made everyone stunned. What kind of magical beast was this? It was clearly a puppy that had met its owner.
"Xiaoxue, you have suffered"
Long Chen looked at the scars on Xiaoxue's body and couldn't help but choke up.
When Long Chen lured Yinghou away, he didn't know whether Aman had forgotten Xiaoxue or Xiaoxue had sneaked out and found him all the way with the help of the wolf tribe's unique sense of smell.
However, this journey is thousands of miles long, with countless wild animals and dangers everywhere. It is obvious that Xiaoxue has experienced countless dangers along the way.
It was originally only over a foot long, but now it has grown to over three feet long. Apparently, along the way, it had to hunt wild beasts on its own and work hard to grow.
"Woooo..."
Xiaoxue pushed her head against Long Chen and actually comforted Long Chen. Although it couldn't speak, Long Chen's soul had a slight connection with it and could understand its meaning.
This made Long Chen feel even more guilty. He picked up Xiaoxue and said hello to everyone, telling them that this was his pet. Only then did everyone feel relieved.
Long Chen carried Xiaoxue into the room and carefully inspected Xiaoxue's wounds. Some of them were teeth marks, which were bites from other beasts.
Moreover, one of its legs was abnormally swollen and smelled of rotting flesh and blood. When Long Chen took a look, he saw two small blood holes there.
It was probably left by the teeth of some kind of venomous snake. Thanks to Xiaoxue's strong physique, she could withstand the poison. If it had been any other beast, she would have died a long time ago.
Long Chen asked Xiao Hua to get a basin of water. Long Chen placed a pill in the water. After the pill melted, he began to clean Xiao Xue's wound.
Now there are too many wounds on Xiaoxue's body, many places have become inflamed, and part of the flesh on her feet has rotted and must be cut off.
Watching Long Chen clean Xiaoxue's wounds, Xiaohua couldn't help but feel her scalp numb, especially when she saw Long Chen lowering his head and using a knife to cut off the flesh on its feet.
Xiaoxue's head was just against Long Chen's neck. As long as it opened its mouth, Long Chen's neck would be bitten off immediately.
However, whether it was cleaning the wound or cutting off the rotten flesh, Xiaoxue remained silent even though her body was trembling with pain.
Until half an hour later, Long Chen covered Xiaoxue's body with ointment and bandaged all the wounds. Xiaohua looked on the sidelines and almost lost her strength.
Looking at the relieved Xiao Hua beside him, Long Chen smiled slightly, put Xiao Xue on the bed, gently stroked Xiao Xue's head and said:
"It's my partner, you don't have to worry"
Xiaohua looked at Xiaoxue sleeping peacefully in Long Chen's arms, shook her head and said, "I was really scared to death just now. Humans can actually be partners with monsters."
Long Chen smiled slightly and said: "Sometimes people are more terrifying than monsters, otherwise your ancestors would not have brought you here.
When monsters are about to attack people, there will be some signs for you to take precautions. But when people are about to attack you, you have no way of guarding against them. By the time you feel in danger, you are already dead.
So your ancestors were very wise people and knew that the apparent dangers were actually not that dangerous. The invisible dangers were the most dangerous."
Regarding Long Chen's words, Xiaohua was confused for a while, obviously not understanding what Long Chen meant, but hearing him praise her ancestors made her feel happy.
"I hope that the baby we give birth to in the future will be as smart and brave as you, and then I will become the person with the greatest contribution in our village," Xiaohua said excitedly.
Long Chen's face froze, but looking at Xiao Hua's innocent face, he smiled bitterly in his heart. He probably didn't know that giving birth to a baby was a very complicated and difficult act.
Xiao Hua is like an innocent child. Although Long Chen likes her, he cannot have the same kind of emotions between men and women.
He had to think about it and find a way to leave the village secretly. Although Xiaohua would be very sad if he did this, there was nothing he could do about it.
But before leaving, Long Chen had to do everything right. First, he had to pay off the former forest god's prey, and then tell Xiaohua how to use those gold coins.
Those gold coins amounted to millions, so she had to be told to use them carefully so as not to attract jealousy.
As long as they know how to use gold coins and have the space ring, they can purchase enough food items for a village for a year.
Xiaoxue's arrival made the people in the village a little nervous. After all, for the first time in hundreds of years, a monster lived in their village.
When Xiaoxue came out in high spirits the next morning, everyone was nervous again. However, Xiaoxue followed Long Chen honestly and didn't even look at anyone. She was very well-behaved.
Everyone felt relieved, and a few children sneaked closer to Xiaoxue out of curiosity, regardless of the adults' scoldings.
Xiaoxue ignored it at first, but when the group of little children came within a foot of it, she suddenly glanced at them.
Just this one look scared these children to the point of panic. They thought Xiaoxue was about to attack and ran away, shouting for help.
In desperation, a child stumbled and sat on the ground crying, his buttocks wet.
The adults kept watching, and they found that Long Chen had been smiling and making no moves. Out of trust in Long Chen, he had not spoken.
At this time, Xiaoxue just glared at them and frightened these naughty children to the point of crying, and couldn't help laughing.
This is the first time a monster has moved into the village. Not only the children, but also the adults are very curious.
"Long Chen, what kind of magical beast is this?" The people in the village looked at Xiaoxue, obviously not recognizing it.
"The Red Flame Snow Wolf will be a third-level monster when it grows up," Long Chen replied.
"Third...third level?"
When everyone heard this, their hearts trembled wildly, and their mouths opened so wide that they could almost swallow their own heads.
They had only heard of the second-level magic beast, and that was what the old people said. More than a hundred years ago, their ancestors once crossed a mountain stream to hunt, and encountered a second-level magic beast.
At that time, there were more than thirty hunters in the group, but only a dozen escaped and the rest all died, causing heavy losses to the village.
Since that time, they never dared to cross the mountain stream again, and they strictly ordered the people in the village never to cross the mountain stream.
Originally, when the God of the Forest promised a second-level monster, everyone immediately thought of the second-order monster that caused heavy losses to the village.
At that time, everyone looked ugly for a while, but Xiaohua insisted on saving Long Chen, saying that after Long Chen recovered from his injuries, he would be able to kill the second-level monster with everyone's cooperation.
It can be seen that the second-level monster has become a nightmare in everyone's heart, and the little wolf in front of them is actually a third-stage monster that is more terrifying than the second-order monster. How can everyone not be shocked.
After lunch, everyone gathered together. Long Chen said to the old man: "Village Chief, I would like to ask, where are the second-level monsters?"
The old man's face changed slightly: "You want..."
"Well, I want to hunt down the second-level monsters and repay the favor of the forest god as soon as possible. The feeling of being in debt makes people uncomfortable," Long Chen nodded.
The whole village was shocked when they heard this, but Long Chen noticed that many people's eyes were shining, as if they were eager to try.
"Child, there is indeed a known second-level monster, but it is very difficult to deal with," the old man said hesitantly.
"Don't worry, village chief, I've recovered now. Normally, there should be no problem with second-level monsters," Long Chen said with a smile.
Long Chen is actually being humble. Even if he has not broken through the blood coagulation realm, ordinary second-level monsters are not his opponent.
Now that he has been promoted to the blood coagulation realm, although he has just entered and has not yet entered the first level of coagulation, his blood has begun to purify automatically. With every breath he takes, his blood is strengthening and his strength is increasing.
Long Chen really wanted to find a second-level magic beast to test his current power. He also wanted to try out his many Li Feng styles.
Seeing that Long Chen was so sure, the old man gritted his teeth and said: "Okay, all the warriors in the village will gather together and bring the most elite equipment. We will kill that beast and avenge our ancestors."
"good"
All the hunters burst into cheers and returned to their houses, taking out their weapons and bringing everything they needed.
Long Chen looked at the enthusiastic crowd and suddenly understood something.
"Mr. Village Chief, I don't need to bother you all about this small matter. You just need to tell me the direction. I can do it by myself," Long Chen said softly.
