Chapter 672: First clues
It can be said that such a large and bloated team and their ostentatious actions do not attract monsters, but it is a strange thing.
So Fang Yu was mentally prepared for this.
However, although the demon appears, it is difficult to say whether it is strong or weak.
So Fang Yu acted quickly.
The figure flashed and disappeared!
So fast? !
Song Zhenrong was shocked on the spot and looked stunned.
Compared to that time, Master Diao’s strength seems to have changed qualitatively?
Could it be that... Master Diao kept his hand at the inn?
As for Fang Yu's instructions, Song Zhenrong naturally complied with them.
With Fang Yu taking care of it, there was no need for him to follow.
……
Liu Bixin is on the run.
The demon appeared so suddenly.
Their family had just been forced from the middle circle of the team to the outer circle due to the team's decision-making adjustment.
The outer circle is the most dangerous position of the entire team.
But Liu Bixin had no choice. When they escaped from Thunder City, they were already in a panic.
The whole family had no money or food. In a few days, all the temporary food they brought out had been eaten. I didn’t even know how to survive today.
Fortunately, Captain Song was righteous. Although he asked them to adjust their positions, Quan also promised to solve their food problem.
As long as a person is alive, there is hope.
It is better to have food than to starve to death while holding your position.
Liu Bixin could understand the thoughts of Captain Song and even the decision-makers of the entire team, but his younger child was full of indignation.
"Why should we give up our position! If you hide in the team, you will be safer! I don't think Captain Song is a good person! Fortunately, I have often heard of him in the city before. Good reputation!"
"It's all your fault, dad, why did you compromise! What can they do to us if we insist on not leaving?"
"I know we have no food to eat, but we are just going to be hungry for a few days! Maybe in a few days, the team will pass through the town, and why should we pay attention to the team then?"
"Now we have reached the outside of the team, If we meet a demon, we will be the scapegoats, the scapegoats of those rich men!”
The child is sixteen years old, an upright and extreme age.
There are some things that he doesn’t understand.
He has never tasted some bitterness.
How many days have you been hungry?
Ever since she was a child, Liu Bixin never let her children go hungry!
Although Liu Bixin thought that he was not very capable, he still ensured the family's food and drink expenses.
And these were accumulated bit by bit by him through hard work and hard work.
The child has never suffered, but he has!
How many days have you been hungry?
No one who has ever been truly hungry can say such a thing.
That kind of pain can drive people crazy.
At first glance, with such a large team, it is not easy to take care of everyone's food and drink.
Liu Bixin didn't even expect Captain Song to help. After all, they were shameless and wanted to seek the protection of Captain Song and others, so they just followed them all the way.
But Captain Song still came forward to solve the problem, and even promised to provide the most basic food relief.
This kind of heart and this kindness can fully support Captain Song's reputation in Thunder City over the years.
The child was young and ignorant, so Liu Bixin didn't say much, just let him have a tantrum.
I didn’t expect it...
A pair of big black eyes suddenly appeared from the grass beside the official road!
What terrifying big eyes! Full of the beast's desire to kill and greedy sight.
On the spot, Liu Bixin yelled.
"Monster, demon!!!"
He shouted very loudly, causing panic in an instant.
My son, who was having trouble just now, immediately ran over here like crazy.
"Don't come over!" Liu Bixin shouted.
But the child was disobedient. He was both rebellious and filial, and did not understand the horror of monsters. He roared and ran towards this direction.
At the same time, the existence of those huge eyes also slowly appeared from the grass.
A low roar that shook the chest, huge tusks as long as an arm, a huge body that was three to five people tall, and hair that stood straight and upside down all over the body...
A huge pig that resembled a wild boar. The demon, with saliva flowing from his mouth, kept a certain distance from him and stared fixedly at this side.
The crowd that started to flee after hearing his shouting were like moving ants or moving rations, making the giant pig demon's eyes turn.
But the pig demon seems to be wary of something, just like a wild beast needs to weigh the strength of both parties and the price they need to pay before hunting its prey.
Liu Bixin could feel that the demon in front of him was thinking and hesitating.
But visible to the naked eye, the temptation in front of me is gradually overwhelming everything.
Liu Bixin turned around and ran, facing the direction in which his son was running, wanting to meet him.
But he started slowly and was at the edge of the team, so even if he was escaping, he was at the very end.
Beasts generally have a very basic attack logic, that is, the target closest to the attack.
This is why some people often say that when there are many people, you don’t need to run fast, just run faster than others.
Once the beast hunts the target, it will start eating on the spot.
There are some differences between demons and beasts, but in the eyes of most people, they are actually pretty much the same.
Liu Bixin could feel his heart pounding.
If the demon behind him stops watching and starts hunting, then he... is very likely to be the first one to be hunted!
“Dad!!”
The distance between him and his son was getting closer and closer, but Liu Bixin was still waving his arms desperately and shouting to run away.
But my son didn’t listen at all!
Until...
Tap!
The disobedient, rebellious son suddenly stopped suddenly.
The face of the son who was fearless and defied everything suddenly turned pale.
Liu Bixin realized something.
My brain was almost blank at this moment.
There is some huge shadow that blocks the fierce sunlight.
A sense of huge pressure is right behind me at this moment, very close, very close! !
“Escape!!!”
Liu Bixin let out what may be the last roar in his life.
It was also the first time that the son was willing to listen to his old father after his rebellion.
Escaped.
Running away.
Run!
Run! !
Looking at his son's back as he turned around and ran away, Liu Bi's heart burst into tears, but his body was as heavy as lead and he couldn't move forward no matter what.
Everyone reacts differently when faced with extreme fear.
Liu Bixin was extremely frightened at this moment.
With children around him, he can still force himself to be brave when the children are in danger.
But when the child left and the child began to escape danger, he lost this courage.
The courage to escape.
Stiff.
My whole body is so stiff that I can’t move!
And he also began to feel that his death was coming!
A huge sense of oppression, a huge sense of crisis, accompanied by the harsh whistling wind and crazy slaps from the left!
Just realizing this almost exhausted all of Liu Bixin's physical potential.
Then...
Dead silence.
Like the wind of death, it passed through his body. Liu Bixin felt as if his soul had been taken away.
But when he came back to his senses...
He found that he was still alive.
Slowly, confused, he turned around.
What he saw was a picture of a young man with a leisurely expression, his feet standing on the back of a giant pig demon.
Just stepping like this, the demon that was exuding an extremely terrifying aura just now is now trembling with its huge black eyes, and its body seems to be frozen, not daring to move at all!
Even the huge fangs that were sweeping towards Liu Bixin from the side suddenly stopped midway, not daring to make any unnecessary movements.
This scene is like being drawn into the depths of Liu Bixin's soul.
He didn't know that even for many years to come, he would never forget this scene.
The afternoon sun was shining brightly, but the boy felt a little disappointed.
One stroke of the hand.
A bone blade of more than ten meters spread out from his hand and easily sliced through the pig demon's neck.
Buzz! !
Like a sharp blade, cutting through the fallen hair.
The huge pig demon head is slightly misaligned with the huge body.
Then...
Boom! ! !
The pig demon's head fell heavily to the ground, stirring up sand and dust.
Then, blood spurted out crazily from the broken neck of the pig demon, and the upright demon body also tilted and fell.
One knife... kill? ?
Liu Bixin looked at the young man blankly.
The memory of a few days ago seems to have come back to me.
He seemed to know who this young man was.
“Diao, Master Diao!”
Liu Bixin quickly knelt down and worshiped on the ground.
The demon's blood sprayed on his body and dyed his clothes red, but he did not dare to move at all.
"You should be frightened. If you see a monster in the future, run away. I will take care of it."
After a pause, Fang Yu glanced at the boy who was standing there in shock in the distance.
“Is that your child?”
Liu Bi’s heart tightened: “Yes, yes!”
“Captain Song is forming a team and needs manpower. People like you who stay on the periphery of the team are exactly the people he needs. You can ask your son to sign up and say I let you go."
Although Liu Bixin was kneeling on the ground, his eyes widened on the spot and he stared blankly at the ground, his brain a little slow.
Because, this is the overwhelming wealth! This is good fortune from heaven! It was a development he had never thought of.
Wait until you come to your senses.
"Thank you for taking care of me, Master Diao!"
After that, he kowtowed a few times and ignored the skin on his forehead.
Fang Yu naturally saw it and didn't stop him.
When many people have nothing, they can only express their gratitude with a sufficient attitude.
"Although this demon is dead, the smell of blood has also spread out. It is not suitable to stay here for a long time. Please prepare, the team should set off soon."
How to process the demon meat , Fang Yu didn't say, but naturally they had to be collected, but it wasn't his turn to worry about it. Song Zhenrong could handle it later.
This is the benefit of being a hands-off shopkeeper.
But after all, Fang Yu is just one person, and if there are several demons appearing in one direction, Fang Yu can still handle them. If several monsters attack from all directions at the same time, it is inevitable that the team will suffer casualties.
Although Fang Yu never said that he would be responsible for everyone in the team, he did not want any casualties in the team as long as he could take care of them.
The people on the periphery of the team, like a personal flesh detector, will always be the first to be attacked by monsters.
Even if the guard system is established and patrols begin, the safety of these peripheral personnel is still not guaranteed.
It is better to recruit them and find a way for them to deliver the message quickly.
As long as you get the information and rush over to support, it won't take long.
At this time, Liu Bixin’s son had returned to Liu Bixin.
The way he looked at Fang Yu was complicated.
The look on his face was full of guilt, admiration, regret, and the instinctive fear of the rest of his life.
Fang Yu didn't say anything more and went back directly.
As for the system prompts, Fang Yu ignored them.
A monster with less than ten thousand health and only a few thousand health can't even provide experience points. It can only be killed with a single blow.
In the action just now...
Fang Yu stretched out his hand and looked at his palm.
"Fargo... seems to have changed a bit."
As soon as he became conscious, there seemed to be some particles crawling under the surface of his skin. In the layers of undulations, there were rows of densely packed sharp protruding structures on his palms, like dense barbs or burrs.
Fang Yu thought for a while, and the change quickly subsided, and his palm returned to its original state.
“Wait for next time, look for an opportunity, and give it a try.”
If Fargo changes, then taking root in the ground may also have new effects.
Unlike other skills, it is improved step by step. Each improvement can be directly fed back to oneself, and any changes can be fully understood.
These two skills are from a low-level stage and suddenly soar to a peak level.
It is equivalent to when you go home to visit relatives. The neighbor's child who was a child one day suddenly becomes the child more than ten years later the next day.
Such a drastic change naturally brings some strangeness.
That is to say, the system is so powerful. It would be impossible for any indigenous warrior to raise his skills from a low level to such a high level in such a short period of time.
……
After Fang Yu left, Liu Bixin looked at his children.
Joining Captain Song's team was an opportunity he naturally hoped his children would seize.
So on the spot, Liu Bixin asked about her child's intentions.
But the child still stared blankly at the direction Fang Yu left and murmured.
"Dad, he...that guy...is about the same age as me, right?"
rare.
Few people noticed Fang Yu's age.
Because many people who have reached Fang Yu's height and strength have disguised their appearance, or have taken pills for beauty and body shaping.
When Fang Yu knew nothing about it, his preconceptions were that... Fang Yu was an old monster.
Only an innocent, or layman, like Liu Bixin's child would feel that Fang Yu's age is consistent with his appearance.
"I don't know etiquette! I want to call you Master Diao! As for age... Master Diao, I'm afraid he is at least a hundred years old, older than your father!"
Liu Bixin said seriously.
Seeing too much may not always be correct.
But the child quickly nodded seriously, and his solemn and somewhat desperate and jealous look immediately relaxed and melted away.
Yes, only that kind of old monster has such terrifying power.
How could that kind of guy be just like me... just a young man!
