Therefore, Guan Heng subconsciously asked: "But when my companions and I first entered the village, we found that you seemed to be..."
"Oh, it turns out that this is what Brother Guan is asking about." Leng Peng said with a wry smile: "To say that our village is very tense now, and we are on guard everywhere. Children are not allowed to go near the village gate or into the forest. This is also to guard against enemies.
, However, they are not humans, but monsters!"
Seeing the doubt in Guan Heng's eyes, he explained: "The villagers of Lintao Water Village have lived here for hundreds of years, and they don't have many enemies. However, they have had many fierce battles with the monsters in the nearby waters and mountains and forests.
It’s all about survival.”
Then, Leng Tao told Guan Heng some things. It turned out that most of the villagers in Lintao Water Village made a living by fishing at first, and then gradually evolved into a "half fishing and half farming" type of livelihood. Everyone
Start learning to reclaim wasteland and farm, so that you can produce a lot of food and solve the problem of eating.
However, fishing in the river will lead to encounters with monster fish and water beasts, and logging and clearing land in the mountains also angered some monsters that originally lived here.
"In the past two years, there have always been some monsters that are dissatisfied with our land reclamation and have come to harass Lintao Water Village. Among them, the most violent ones are the 'three-toed horse-faced apes'."
When the name was mentioned, Leng Peng suddenly slapped his thigh and said, "Brother Guan, do you think it's possible that my Jin'er was killed by them..."
"It's not impossible." Guan Heng had already sent out all the Seven Ghosts and Elephant Snake Birds who were following him, and asked them to search carefully within a ten-mile radius to see if they could find any clues.
At this moment, the snake-like bird suddenly flew in from the northeast, carrying the wind, and wandered around Guanheng and Lengpeng, croaking non-stop.
"Something's happening." The two of them looked at each other and immediately followed the snake-like bird and ran quickly into the forest in the blink of an eye.
"Quack--" The snake-like bird suddenly flew down not far ahead, and then started fighting with a monster running around in the tree. "Gu-chi-chi-chi--" The monster roared and flashed its claws.
The arms and legs are extremely long, the waist is arched, and the face is two feet long. It is extremely ugly. It turns out to be a demon ape.
"Bang bang bang!" The sharp beak of the Elephant Snake Bird instantly turned into a swift shadow and pecked at the opponent's front door, but Yuan Yuan quickly dodged them. The opponent also shook its claws and scratched from time to time. The Elephant Snake Bird was a little slower to dodge twice, and it was immediately known.
A feather was pulled off, and the colorful strange birds quacked in anger.
"Brother Guan, look, that's the three-toed horse-faced ape." After Guan Heng ran nearby, Leng Peng suddenly pulled out the fish bone short fork from his waist, and then roared: "I will kill this guy now...
…”
Guan Heng's eyes were as bright as a torch, and he suddenly whispered: "Wait a minute, you see, there seems to be something hanging on the long tail of that demon ape."
"It's my son's other little shoe. Sure enough, these beasts kidnapped Jin'er."
Leng Peng saw the curled thing on the opponent's tail, and immediately covered his eyes with anger. He shook the fish bone fork in his hand and wanted to throw it at it, but Guan Heng said: "The child is not in this guy's hands. If you kill it now
, the clues are cut off, it’s up to me.”
It was too late to say it, but it was too soon. Guan Heng took off the snow-like bow like lightning and shouted: "Like a snake and bird, get out of the way -"
"Pah-chi!"
At the moment when the snake-like bird flapped its wings and flew away, a powerful arrow was driven by the wind and hit the three-toed horse-faced ape's lower abdomen. However, Guan Heng only used three-thirds of his strength and deliberately made the arrow fly crookedly. The demon ape
Seeing this, he immediately swung his long tail and caught the eagle-feather arrow with a snap, but the child's shoes fell down and were caught by Leng Peng.
"Gujijijiji——" As if mocking Guan Heng's poor archery skills, the demonic ape made a face at him, showed off its fiery red monkey butt and slapped Guan Heng several times, and then grabbed a tree
It swung away from the old vine, and also used its tail to sweep away Guan Heng's eagle-feather arrow.
"Okay, let's chase now!" Guan Heng deliberately let the demon ape take away his arrow at this moment, but he had let the ghost's ghost attached to it before. In this case, even if he lost the demon ape, the demon ape would still be there.
The demon will also find out the opponent's nest without anyone noticing.
Guan Heng had already told Leng Peng his plan while he and Leng Peng were continuing to track the demon ape. Leng Peng heard that Guan Heng could control invisible ghosts and was in the realm of red energy, so he admired him even more.
However, the two of them could never figure it out. If the three-toed horse-faced ape really abducted the child, what was their purpose? Everything can only be revealed when they find the monster ape's nest.
But after Guan Heng and the others tracked them for several miles in the forest, the cunning monster ape seemed to be aware of what was going on, so he actually started to lead the two of them in a circle.
At this moment, Leng Peng noticed that it was already after dusk and the moon was above the treetops. He gradually became anxious, because the longer the delay, the greater the possibility that Leng Jin would be in danger and encounter an accident.
Guan Heng saw the other party's eagerness and immediately said: "Okay, it's time for the demon ape to get rid of us, so that I can let the big demon continue to hide and track."
"Okay, just do what Brother Guan said." Seeing the wise and determined look in Guan Heng's eyes, Leng Peng began to calm down a little. You know, there is no rush now. Instead of making mistakes in the rush, it is better to follow the instructions.
The plan is going well.
At this time, the demonic ape that couldn't stop running away from the trees and vines suddenly played another trick. It fell to the ground with a cry and picked up two stones.
Seeing the demonic ape shaking the stone in his palm as if to throw it, Guan Heng and the others immediately ducked to avoid it, but the snake-like bird took advantage of the opportunity and jumped out from behind Guan Heng: "Quaqua——"
Seeing the ferociousness of the strange bird, the demonic ape jumped several feet away, and the snake-like bird immediately pounced in the air. This was also the instruction of Guan Heng, to make a show to scare the opponent, and not to kill him for real.
It was too late, but it was too late. The demon ape did not attack the enemy with stones, but instead threw them in front of him: "Huhu——"
"Bang, bang!" The stone hit something unknown, and in an instant, an angry beast roar sounded from there: "Ouch, ouch, ouch—"
Among the lightning and flint, several bramble-backed demon wolves with a crimson aura bursting out from their bodies rushed out of the grass nest in anger. They were disturbed by the stones and woke up. The manes on the backs of these demon wolves were slanted and tough, like spikes. Before Guan Heng,
They are often encountered in the wilderness, but the red energy realm is still rare.
The three-toed horse-faced ape had already jumped onto a big tree in threes and twos, then grabbed the thick vine and flew away.
"How can this dead monkey be so cunning?!"
Looking at the demonic wolves that were surrounded by drooling mouths and fierce eyes, Guan Heng was secretly amused in his heart, but when he saw Leng Peng was about to wave the fish bone short fork and come forward to fight, he immediately said: "Clan Chief Leng, you and Xiang
The snake bird will go after the demon ape first, and I will deal with these wolf cubs." (To be continued.)
