Lord of the Earth

Chapter 26 Surprised change, is there a ghost catching people?
Xia Tian collected a bunch of booty from "Black and White Flood Dragon Pheasant" into the lord's space.

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

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

After all, there was this kind of "hegemony-level" creature that had begun to metamorphose. Without knowing that it was dead, ordinary creatures would probably not dare to approach it.

"Hey, what's going on? Why are all the people gathered together!"

When the four returned to the protective cover, they discovered an abnormal situation, that is, the people in the territory were all surrounded by the "lumberjack workshop".

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

"It's all my fault, I really... I knew there were monsters outside, so I should keep an eye on the two of them all the time, and not let them run out of my sight... It's all my fault, really!"

What did Mrs. Xianglin speak?

After Xia Tian heard this, he felt a little ominous in his heart.

"My lord and Wu are back."

After seeing Xia Tian and Wu Song, the leader was suddenly excited.

"What happened?"

Xia Tian asked seriously.

"My lord, I didn't take good care of it. Niu Niu and Er Ya were captured by a ghost."

The old carpenter surnamed Lu who he arranged to be in charge of the logging workshop said with a face of self-blame.

"Ghost catcher?"

Xia Tian was taken aback upon hearing this.

It turned out that although most of the first group of refugees were adults, there were also two children, one was four years old and the other was five years old!
In modern society, such children must be cared for in every possible way, and they are afraid of falling in the house, but children at the bottom of the ancient times cannot be pampered.

Coupled with the tense population of the territory, Xia Tian set the rule that everyone must work in exchange for rations. Not only the adults, but even the two children also helped with some tasks such as picking branches in the "lumber workshop".

It's just that, after all, they are children of a certain age, and they are not very safety-conscious. They stepped out of the protective cover while playing with each other without paying attention.

"That ghost came out of nowhere. It has a thick black body, blue-faced fangs, blood oozing from its eyes, and claws as big as a millstone. It grabbed the two children at once. Then it ran towards the forest, and No shadow!"

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

Although the old carpenter's words were a bit confusing, Xia Tian even wondered if his description style was influenced by some romance storytelling?
However, he had already figured out what happened, so he couldn't help but frown.

Although they are two children, to him, they are also people under his protection.What's more, the number of people needed to upgrade the territory, he was already four short, but now there are two less. Isn't this worse?

Also, Daniu and Shen Lian, who were assigned to stay behind, chased them out. I don't know what the result was?
Say Daniel, and Daniel will appear.

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

"It's Erya."

A woman surprises and picks up the child.

"Huh... my lord, you are back!"

And Daniu saluted Xia Tian with a little panting.

"What's going on, tell me?"

It turned out that the "ghost" was so fast that Daniel could not catch up, but Shen Lian did catch up, and used the Xiuchun knife to cut off one of the monster's arms, and at the same time saved a child , but the other child was still taken away by that monster!
So Shen Lian asked Daniel to bring the man back, while he continued to pursue him.

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

Xia Tian watched the arm "eye of insight" open to obtain some information.

【broken arm】

【Level】every level

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

[Remarks] Mandrills are social creatures that eat human children and are extremely powerful. Among them, the strong ones can even tear apart tigers and leopards with bare hands!
"It seems that it is not a real ghost!"

After seeing the attributes, Xia Tian breathed a sigh of relief.

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

"Drill, children who like to eat humans, tearing up tigers and leopards raw, why does it sound familiar?"

Afterwards, Xia Tian frowned slightly.

But he didn't investigate it carefully, but was worried about Shen Lian who was chasing him out.

Shen Lian's strength is of course not bad, his level has reached the seventh rank, and as a senior Jin Yiwei, he is even more proficient in combat skills. He was able to chop off the arm of this monster named "Drill" in pursuit, which shows that one-on-one will definitely have an advantage .

It's just that this kind of "Drill" turns out to be a herd creature, so it might be dangerous for him to chase after it.

"You guys go to the workshop and bring the god arm crossbow and crossbow bolts that were newly made today."

"All trained people follow me, and the rest stay in the territory, don't go out for now!"

After Xia Tian thought about it.

Take Wu Song and Daniu and other trained soldiers to pursue in the direction where "Drill" left.

Not only to support Shen Lian, but also because he felt it was 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. At that time, such powerful creatures will most likely attack the territory. !

Since they will collide sooner or later, it is better to take this opportunity to find out the reality of the enemy first.

And the reason to bring all fighters and weapons is because if there is an opportunity, Xia Tian doesn't mind solving the trouble directly.

Xia Tian himself hadn't noticed that after both his own strength and the territory's strength had improved, especially after the battle with the black and white flood dragon just now, he seemed to have broken some kind of "inner demon", and he no longer had the same attitude towards this jungle as he did at the beginning. Fear, but already want to conquer!
"My lord, there is a mark here!"

It has to be said that Shen Lian is worthy of being a Jinyiwei. While tracking, he did not forget to use the traces cut by the Xiuchun knife to guide the direction.

Everyone followed the mark he left and walked about ten miles in the jungle.

Whoa!

Suddenly there was a sound from the bushes in front of him, and several soldiers immediately picked up the crossbow, only to find that it was Shen Lian.

It turned out that Shen Lian, as a Jinyi guard, had a meticulous mind. After he discovered that the "ghost" actually responded during the pursuit, he did not continue to chase and kill him, but hid his body and followed behind secretly.

"My lord, Shen Lian is not doing well, please punish him."

After seeing Xia Tian in the center of the crowd, Shen Lian's face was very embarrassed, and he immediately stepped forward to plead guilty, after all, staying in the territory was the first task Xia Tian gave him, but he messed it up!

"Let's talk about this later, have you found the lairs of those 'ghosts'?"

Xia Tian said.

"Those? My lord already knows that this 'ghost' is not one!"

Shen Lian froze for a moment, glanced at Xia Tian in surprise, and then nodded.

"Yes, the ghost's lair is just ahead. Please be careful, my lord. These 'ghosts' have very keen senses, and I was almost spotted by them."

"It's okay, take me there!"

Xia Tian took out "Mist Hidden Bead" from the lord's space.

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

A humanoid creature with a height of about two meters, blue-faced fangs, eyes as red as blood, and black hair all over its body, is hugging pieces of stones that have just been excavated, and pieces of wood that have just been felled. A house was built on a cleared lot.

Well, these "drills" can actually build houses.

Although they are simply built with some stone and wood, this is enough to prove that they have a certain amount of wisdom.

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