My practice narration is weird.

Chapter 25 Demon Fox
It was already night.

Ye Wuyou was initially confused. If he had any sense of security when going to a so-called village to rest in the middle of the night, he would be treated as a bandit and driven out.

But he soon realized that his thoughts were a bit redundant.

Although it was late at night, the village at the foot of Yunwu Mountain still had lights on, and there were even people waiting at the village gate.

"Two taels of silver per person. You can choose any vacant house at the east entrance of the village."

Lin Qingqing was not surprised. After paying the money, she took the three of them to choose an empty room to rest for a while.

"It's very strange? This Yunwu Mountain Range is the only place near Tianlan City where demon beasts exist. In the past, practitioners would come here from time to time to train. As the only inhabited place nearby, over time, the village at the foot of the mountain has developed into this state."

"Not only do they provide accommodation, they also provide guidance into the mountains, find elixirs, and a series of other services. The people in this village are really smart."

Ye Wuyou was surprised and asked, "Then if this village is stationed here, aren't they afraid of attacks by monsters?"

"Afraid? Of course I wouldn't be afraid, but there is money to be made. The silver I can earn in a month is more than what I can earn in a year of farming and hiking. This is still the off-season in late winter, and most of the monsters in the mountains are in deep sleep. If it happens to be the day when some disciples of certain cultivation sects enter the world for training, I can earn twenty taels of silver per person."

"If the sons of the powerful and wealthy sects were kindhearted or jealous of their beloved, and gave gifts casually, it would be countless wealth."

"People die for money and birds die for food. If you are lucky, you can earn as much money as ordinary people earn in their lifetime in these few months. And don't you see that most of the people in this village are elderly? The young people have already left the mountains and entered the city. To them, what does life mean?" Lin Qingqing said with a smile.

Ye Wuyou was speechless, but gradually understood the meaning.

Four people were crammed into the cabin, with only an oil lamp emitting a dim light. It was dark outside the shabby window, and the mountain wind could be heard howling from time to time.

Lin Qingqing seemed to be in a playful mood. She raised the oil lamp and waved it in front of her face, then spoke slowly in a low voice.

"You know what? Actually, the most terrifying thing for this village is not the monsters, but the people."

"At least the monsters' attacks are regular, and there are often practitioners in the village. The monsters at the foot of the mountain are just small monsters, so they are not difficult to deal with."

"But there are always practitioners who fall into evil ways and slaughter people indiscriminately. What do you think will happen when facing this group of lonely old people left behind in the mountains?"

[While chatting and laughing, you keenly caught a hint of weirdness in the words. In the eyes of true practitioners, mortals are nothing but running dogs...]

woohoo hoo...

The wind in the mountains was very strong at night, and the old window seemed unable to withstand such strong wind, and a corner of it was broken.

The mountain wind blew in through the cracks, making the oil lamp flicker.

Xu Fang sneered, and the burly man turned his back and ignored him.

Bai Changzai still had his eyes closed and remained silent.

Ye Wuyou listened quietly, but he didn't hear any follow-up for a long time, so he couldn't help but ask.

"What's next?"

Lin Qingqing chuckled, then put down the oil lamp and waved her hand helplessly.

"I don't know either, but this village has been here for decades and nothing has happened. As time goes by, perhaps those practitioners with evil intentions will not dare to act rashly. Who knows what methods this seemingly harmless village has."

[This guy is really keeping us in suspense. You want to find out the truth about this village. Since you can't get the answer from her, why not do it yourself? Slaughter all the people in this village tonight and see what so-called means you have!]

That’s not a bad idea... Ugh!
Ye Wuyou looked at the woman in front of him who was laughing so hard that her body was shaking with laughter, and was speechless.

This is just a suspenseful statement. No wonder those two people are unwilling to listen.

The brief banter diluted the group's fatigue on the road. Lin Qingqing coughed lightly and said seriously, "Let's talk about the demon fox."

She took out the bell given by the prison, injected a trace of energy into it, and shook it gently.

Jingle Bell……

An illusory picture appeared between the four people, with a painting curtain and text description on it.

The three-tailed demon fox from Qingqiu crossed the Shiwan Mountains and arrived at Dayan thirty-six years ago.

Because of the fox demon's talent, even if he has not yet reached the fourth level, he is born with the ability to transform into a beautiful woman, traveling around Da Yan and killing people.

Twenty-four years ago, a Qingqiu fox demon transformed into a beautiful woman and sneaked into the Qianhuan Sect, a spiritual practice sect. She used her fox charm to seduce the sect's leader, stole the sect's treasure, and later caused the Qianhuan Sect to be destroyed.

Twenty-three years ago, when a certain lord of the Tianlao [A] class was out on an inspection trip to the "Chunfeng Tower", he accidentally discovered a fox demon who had transformed himself into a beautiful woman and was bewitching the people. After a fierce battle, he captured the demon and brought it to justice.

Note: 1. Because it is suspected that the fox demon is of Qingqiu royal bloodline and the whereabouts of Qianhuanmen’s treasure has not yet been found, no sentence has been imposed yet and the sentence has been changed to life detention.

2. The fox's magical power has little lethality, but its illusion skills are quite good. Our company has tried to capture the fox many times, but it escaped.

It was the first time that Ye Wuyou saw the effect of this treasure. At first, he only thought it was a magic weapon that could locate the fox demon.

only……

"Hahaha, a certain adult from Class [A] is inspecting the Chunfeng Tower? How could we not know what the Chunfeng Tower is like? I really want to know which adult is so leisurely and elegant!" Xu Fang laughed.

Lin Qingqing sneered, "Oh, then tell me, what is Chunfeng Tower? I'll tell you when the captain comes back from the mission."

The laughter stopped abruptly.

But Ye Wuyou stared at the message again and again, and always felt that... it looked familiar.

[Look familiar? Of course you look familiar. Who else but that old man could do such a beastly thing? You despise him deeply. Next time you see that old man, you must ask him why he didn't take you with him.]

Zhao Changhe?
His thoughts did not last long as the sound of a bell interrupted them.

The bell, which contained a trace of the fox's scent, rang without wind and made a clear sound.

Lin Qingqing narrowed her eyes slightly, and the next second, she had already stepped out of the room.

"Okay, okay, I was just wondering how I was going to find you in such a large forest, but I didn't expect this demon fox to dare to come here on its own initiative! This saves me the trouble."

“Hey… this is it.”

The four of them had now arrived outside the house. The surroundings were still the same as before, and there was no movement in the village.

Just following the village, one could see a red smoke slowly rising from the distant mountains.

"The red smoke signal is a signal from inside our prison... Is a colleague trapped?" Lin Qingqing was stunned, obviously not expecting this scene.

Looking at the bell in my hand again, there was no movement.

This change obviously made Lin Qingqing lose her mind for a moment. She looked at the red smoke on the mountain, and then looked at the surrounding villages where everything was normal.

"Go up the mountain to save people."
