The night is getting darker and darker, the moonlight is weak, and I can barely see the scene in front of me. The spiritual field at the north end of the village is silent.
Hu Laosan is still working hard. As the hoe rises and falls, sweat keeps dripping into the moist soil, and it soon becomes one with the soil.
The more he worked, the more energetic he became. He completely forgot about the passage of time and only thought about doing more work and saving more money for his son.
The night wind in the Lingtian gradually cooled down, making the surrounding weeds rustle. Occasionally, a night bird would startle from the branches and emit a shrill cry, making the originally quiet Lingtian even more eerie.
Behind the slope, Demon Suppression Guard's breathing became more rapid and his nerves became tense. He could clearly hear Hu Laosan's breathing and the soft sound of wind blowing through Linghe, but he never caught the demon's breath.
"Will this monster come? It's been so long, why is there no movement at all?"
He was secretly anxious in his heart, turning his head to look in the direction of Hu Family Village entrance from time to time, and then looking back to Hu Laosan, for fear that something unexpected would happen the next second.
At this moment, a subtle "rustling" sound suddenly came from the edge of the dense forest at the north end of the village. It was not the sound of the wind blowing the grass and leaves, but the sound of some kind of creature stepping on the fallen leaves, and the feedback of the fallen leaves was so light that it was almost imperceptible.
Demon Suppression Guard, who was lying in the grass, was shocked in his heart. He held his breath suddenly and his eyes were instantly locked in the direction of the dense forest.
I saw a tall black shadow quickly shuttled between the shadows of the trees, approaching the direction of the spiritual field like a ghost.
There was a faint cold fishy smell exuding from the black shadow. Even if Demon Suppression Guard was hundreds of meters away from the demon, you could still vaguely smell it. It was exactly the same as the demon's scent that had been tracked before.
"Coming."
This Demon Suppression Guard was shocked in his heart, and his fingertips instantly caught the lead of the fireworks for help.
He stared at the black shadow, watching it approach Ling Tian step by step, and finally stopped not far behind Hu Laosan, stopping in his tracks.
Hu Laosan was bending down to adjust the distance between Linghe, his face was full of concentration, and he was not aware of the movement behind him at all.
The black shadow slowly poked its head out from the grass, a pair of green eyes flashing with blood in the darkness. It lowered its head slightly and sniffed the air, as if sniffing for any danger around it.
Then the monster slowly raised its huge claws and pounced towards the unsuspecting Hu Laosan.
"No, this is..."
Behind the slope, Demon Suppression Guard's pupils shrank suddenly and he lit the distress firework in his hand without hesitation.
Phew! A dazzling red firework shot straight into the night sky.
It exploded in the dark night, and the brilliant red light instantly illuminated the sky.
At the same time, Hu Jing, who was hiding in the mountain forest to the south of the village, and Qiu Xu, who was hiding in the mountain forest to the north of the village, saw the fireworks rising into the sky almost at the same time.
"This is a firework signal, the devil has appeared."
The two of them each greeted the Demon Suppression Guards behind them.
"Send out everyone immediately to surround the demons."
The two of them led forty Demon Suppression Guard to their feet in response, rushing out of the mountain forest like arrows from a string, and galloping towards the spiritual field in the north of the village.
Demon Suppression Guard led by Qiu Xu rushed out of the forest in the north of the village and went straight to the location of the demon.
Demon Suppression Guard led by Hu Jing rushed out of the forest south of the village and cut off the demon's retreat.
Su Fei was the farthest away from the spiritual field in the north of the village, but he also got up from the slope, and the Crimson Flame Horse King under his crotch moved at the sound. He got on the horse, clamped the horse's belly with his legs, and took the two Demon Suppression Guard and ran quickly towards the spiritual field in the north of the village.
"We must not let this monster escape this time."
Su Fei's voice is loud and powerful.
Beside the spiritual field, Hu Laosan just noticed the strange movement behind him and turned around suddenly, just in time to see the demon's green eyes and the saliva dripping from its mouth.
Hu Laosan let out a cry of terror in his throat, the hoe in his hand fell to the ground with a clang, and he turned around and ran towards the village.
But how could his mortal body resist the speed of the demon?
As soon as Hu Laosan turned around, the demon's claws slapped Hu Laosan on the back.
Hu Laosan let out a muffled groan, and there was a feeling of whirlwind. The whole person flew away like a kite with a broken string, and fell heavily into the soil of the spiritual field, with a mouthful of blood spurting out of his mouth.
If this demon hadn't been merciful and liked to eat live blood, this Hu Laosan would have no life at all.
Seeing that the overall situation was decided, the demon licked its lips and slowly approached Hu Laosan on the ground without any haste, looking at the frightened look on Hu Laosan's face.
This monster made a "wow" sound from its mouth, and it seemed to enjoy the feeling of a cat catching a mouse.
Just when this demon was about to walk in front of Hu Laosan, ready to enjoy blood food.
A thunderous sound of horse hooves sounded, and Demon Suppression Guard led by Qiu Xu had arrived first. Forty Demon Suppression Guard spread out in a fan shape, surrounding the monster.
"Don't show off your evil intentions, demons."
"Since your whereabouts have been exposed, don't leave today."
Qiu Xu shouted loudly, unsheathed his long knife, and slashed at Jackal Demon's arm.
Jackal Demon let out a low roar, dodged the knife, and struck Qiu Xu with a claw.
Qiu Xu was on guard for a long time. He also ducked sideways and slashed at Jackal Demon with his knife.
At the same time, four or five knives were slashing at this head Jackal Demon.
Jackal Demon can defend against one knife, but cannot defend against several knives.
One of the knives struck the demon hard on the back.
A clang!
The sound of metal colliding resounded in the night sky. Jackal Demon's skin was as hard as iron. The long knife slashed on it, leaving only a white mark. The force of the shock made Demon Suppression Guard's arms numb.
Then Jackal Demon dodged and escaped from the siege of this group of Demon Suppression Guard.
Qiu Xu's face darkened when he saw this scene.
It seems that this Jackal Demon belongs to the kind of monster with strong physical defense and fast speed. Compared with monsters with poor defense, this kind of monster is not easy to kill.
Jackal Demon's dark green eyes swept across the eighty or ninety Demon Suppression Guard who gathered around him, and roared in a low voice.
"Jie, Jie, Jie, so what if you reveal your whereabouts."
"Originally I just wanted to pick up villagers to fill my stomach, but I didn't expect to attract so many warriors to come to my door. What an unexpected surprise."
"You must know that warriors have enough essence, but blood is the best food."
Jackal Demon looked up to the sky and roared, his thick limbs lightly pedaling in the soil, and his two-meter-tall body looked particularly tall in the moonlight.
The gray-black fur was as rough as iron, like steel needles, the sharp claws shone with cold light, and the whole body exuded an aura similar to that of a Nirvana Realm fifth- and sixth-level warrior.
This Jackal Demon raised its head and let out a chirp, its voice full of arrogance.
"You ant-like warriors really think that you can trap me with a large number of people. It's really ridiculous."
"When I defeat you, I will tear you into pieces and swallow you one by one. Wouldn't it be nice to have a full stomach?"
Before he finished speaking, a burst of rapid horse hoofbeats came from the other side. Hu Jing led forty Demon Suppression Guard to gallop over, instantly surrounding Jackal Demon on the other side.
They formed an encirclement with Qiu Xu's people, completely blocking all Jackal Demon's escape routes.
