Chapter 26 Shocking change, someone is arresting someone?


Chapter 26: Shocking change, someone is arresting someone?

Xia Tian put a bunch of trophies from the "Black and White Pheasant" into the lord's space.

Then he took Wu Song and two soldiers back to the territory, preparing to ask the masons and miners to return to the quarry to start work.

Speaking of which, since the location of this quarry was originally the nest of the "Black and White Pheasant", the safety is relatively high now.

After all, there was originally this kind of "overlord-level" creature that was beginning to transform. Without knowing that it was dead, ordinary creatures probably would not dare to approach it.

"Hey, what's going on? Why are everyone gathered together!"

When the four people returned to the protective shield, they discovered an abnormal situation, that is, people in the territory were surrounding the "Lumberjack" "near the square".

Many people looked anxious and frowning, and two women among them were even crying softly.

"It's all my fault, I really am... I already knew there were monsters outside, so I should keep an eye on them both, and not let them escape my sight... It's all my fault, really!"< br>
What did Mrs. Xianglin say?

After Xia Tian heard this, he had an ominous premonition in his heart.

“The adults and Wu are back.”

When they saw Xia Tian and Wu Song, the people in the command suddenly became excited.

“What happened?”

Xia Tian asked seriously.

"Sir, I didn't take good care of them. Niuniu and Erya were kidnapped by a ghost."

The old carpenter surnamed Lu, who was assigned by him to be in charge of the lumber workshop, said with a look of self-blame.

“The ghost is arresting people?”

Xia Tian was stunned when he heard this.

It turns out that although most of the first batch of refugees were adults, there were also two children, one four and one five years old!

In modern society, such children must be cared for in every possible way, and they would be afraid of falling if placed in the house, but children from the lower classes in ancient times could not be pampered and pampered.

Coupled with the tight population in the territory, Xia Tian made a rule that everyone must work in exchange for food rations. Not only adults, but even two children also helped pick up branches in the "Lumberjack Workshop" Such work.

It’s just that, after all, they are children of a certain age and are not very safety-conscious. They accidentally stepped out of the protective shield while playing with each other.

"The ghost appeared out of nowhere. It had a thick black body, a green face and fangs, blood coming from its eyes, and its claws were as big as millstones. It grabbed the two children in one fell swoop. Then it headed towards As soon as he ran into the forest, he disappeared."

"Daniu and Shen Zhuangshi chased after him, but they also disappeared!"

Although the old carpenter's words were a little confusing, Xia Tian even suspected that his description style was influenced by some novels and storytelling?

However, I have already figured out what happened, and I can’t help but frown.

Although they are two children, to him, they are also the people who are protected by him. Moreover, he was already four short of the population needed to upgrade his territory, and now he suddenly lost two more. Doesn't this make matters worse?

Also, Daniel and Shen Lian, who were assigned to stay behind, chased them out. I wonder what the result was?

Speak of big bulls, and big bulls appear.

I saw a big cow walking out of the forest, holding a child in one hand, and holding a child covered with long black hair in the other hand, as thick as an ordinary person's thigh, with extremely sharp black-purple nails. Bloody broken arm!

“It’s Erya.”

A woman went to pick up the child in surprise.

"Huh... Sir, you are back!"

Daniu saluted Xia Tian with some panting.

"What's going on? Tell me?"

It turned out that the "ghost" was very fast and Daniel was unable to catch up, but Shen Lian caught up and used Xiuchun Dao to kill one of the monster's limbs. An arm was cut off, and a child was saved at the same time, but the other child was still taken away by the monster!

So Shen Lian asked Daniel to take the man back while he continued the pursuit.

"So, this is the 'ghost' arm?"

Xia Tian stared at the arm and opened the "Eye of Insight" to obtain some information.

[Broken arm]

[Level] Mortal level

[Explanation] An arm cut off by a knife belongs to a 'drill'.

[Remarks] Mandrills are social creatures that like to eat human children and are extremely powerful. The strong ones among them can even tear apart tigers and leopards with their bare hands!

“It seems that it’s not a real ghost!” Xia Tian breathed a sigh of relief after seeing the attributes.

No way, after all, modern people are still a little afraid of things like "ghosts".

"Mandrill, a child who likes to eat humans, tearing apart tigers and leopards alive, why does it sound familiar?"

Then Xia Tian frowned slightly again.

However, he did not go into details, but was worried about Shen Lian chasing after him.

Shen Lian's strength is certainly good. He has reached the seventh level. As a senior Jinyiwei, his combat skills are even more proficient. He was able to cut off the arm of the monster named "Mandrill" with one knife during the pursuit, which shows that he can definitely have an advantage in one-on-one. .

It’s just that this kind of “mandrill” is a social creature, so it may be dangerous for him to pursue it.

"You guys go to the workshop and get the newly made divine arm crossbows and crossbow arrows today."

"All the trained people will follow me, and the rest will Stay in the territory and don’t go out for the time being!”

Xia Tian thought about it.

He led Wu Song, Daniu and other trained soldiers to pursue the "mandrill" in the direction in which it left.

Not only to accommodate Shen Lian, but also because he felt it was very necessary to understand the situation of these "drills".

Because according to the information obtained through the chat channel last night, once the territory is upgraded, it will be exposed to creatures within a certain range around it. By then, such powerful creatures that feed on humans will be extremely powerful. There may be an attack on the territory!

Since there will be a collision sooner or later, it is better to take this opportunity to find out the reality of the enemy first.

The reason why he brought all the combatants and weapons was because if there was a chance, Xia Tian wouldn't mind solving the trouble directly.

Xia Tian himself has not noticed that after both his own and the territory's strength have improved, especially after the battle with the black and white pheasant just now, he seems to have broken some kind of "inner demon" and no longer treats this jungle as he did at the beginning. Not afraid, but already wanting to conquer!

"Sir, there is a mark here!"

It must be said that Shen Lian is indeed a member of the Jinyiwei family. While tracking, he did not forget to use the traces cut by Xiuchun Dao to leave the direction. guidance.

The crowd followed the marks he left and walked almost ten miles in the jungle.

Wow!

There was a sudden sound from the bushes in front, and several soldiers immediately picked up the divine arm crossbows, only to find Shen Lian's figure.

It turned out that Shen Lian, as a Jin Yiwei, was very thoughtful. After discovering that the "ghost" was actually cooperating during the pursuit, he did not continue to chase and kill, but hid his body and followed secretly.

"Sir, Shen Lian did something bad, please punish me."

After seeing Xia Tian in the center of the crowd, Shen Lian looked very embarrassed and immediately stepped forward to apologize. After all, he stayed behind Territory was the first task that Xia Tian gave him, but he messed it up!

“Let’s talk about this later. Have you found the lair of those ‘ghosts’?”

Xia Tian said.

"Those? Your Excellency already knows that this 'ghost' is not just one!"

Shen Lian's face was stunned, and he glanced at Xia Tian in surprise, and then nodded.

"Yes, the ghost's lair is right ahead. Please be careful, sir. These 'ghosts' have very keen senses. I was almost discovered by them."

"It's okay. Take me there!”

Xia Tian took out the "Mist Hidden Pearl" from the Lord's space.

Half a minute later, after Xia Tian, ​​who was surrounded by a layer of fog, pushed aside the dense leaves in front of him, he saw an open space that had just been cleared.

A humanoid creature about two meters tall, with a green face and fangs, eyes as red as blood, and its whole body covered with black hair, is holding up pieces of newly excavated stones, and stones that have just been chopped down. The wood was used to build houses on the cleared land.

Well, these "mandrills" can actually build houses.

Although they are simply built with some stones and wood, this is enough to prove that they possess a certain degree of wisdom.

It also means that these "mandrills" are more dangerous than those reckless beasts that rely on instinct to do things!
