Start as a Temple Spirit

As the sky darkened, the animals crossed the river, divided into groups in the fields, and began to look for food, and the killing stopped temporarily.

Snowflakes fell, and the animals huddled together, gnawing on the rice stalks.

It should be beautiful and picturesque, but it is full of restlessness and anxiety.

The rising smoke from cooking adds color to the snowy world and creates a pure land in the village.

The aroma of meat rises with the steam, spreads with the cold wind, and fills the village with the fragrance.

In Forgotten Village, we eat meat for dinner and eat to our heart's content.

"It's time to eat meat." The innocent cheers of children echoed in the village. It's good to be carefree.

The soldiers and civilians who were on duty couldn't help but relax after a day of tension when they heard the children's cheerful voices, and warm smiles appeared on their faces.

Facing danger head-on is just to make sure our loved ones live well and avoid harm.

In ancient times, poor mountains and bad waters gave birth to unruly people, but how many people know that these unruly people are the last stubborn ones to protect their rights.

As night falls, the tide of wild animals swarming in the fields finally quiets down.

Of course, this silence is not the sound of insects chirping as before, but the roars of beasts are no longer heard one after another.

Just when the militiamen, villagers and soldiers on duty on the village wall and the rock cliff thought they could relax, they suddenly heard a rustling sound coming from below.

The torches shone towards the village wall and the rock cliff. The pupils of the soldiers and civilians dilated and then shrank suddenly, with murderous intent rising up.

In the light of the fire, you can see long snakes of various colors swimming upwards, and there are quite a few of them.

This situation was expected, so the soldiers and civilians did not panic and just stabbed them with spears.

As the spear stabbed down, blood splattered and the thick spicy strips twisted, making a creepy hissing sound.

"Hold still, don't let them fall. Snake meat is very delicious." Yihuo's voice sounded on the village wall.

"Understood." The soldiers and civilians responded in unison, and they attacked more quickly, fiercely and accurately.

The scary thing about snakes is not that they attack head-on, but that they hide in the dark, waiting for the right moment to deliver a fatal blow.

Therefore, the long snake swimming upwards did not pose much of a threat to the villagers. Instead, it became a delivery of meat to their doorstep.

Yi Tu looked at the long snakes of various colors crawling under the village wall and frowned, saying, "Logically, the snakes should be hibernating at this time, and it is difficult for the bear and wolf tribes to drive them away."

"That makes sense." Yihuo nodded and asked, "What's the reason?"

“…” Yitu was speechless when he heard this. If he knew the reason, he would ask questions.

"There must be a powerful monster driving them away, waking them up from hibernation." Yishui guessed.

When this guess came out, everyone fell silent, because this guess was very reliable.

So the question is, how powerful a monster must be to drive the snakes hibernating in the cave to the Forgotten Land?

It really makes me feel headache and worry.

The night passed by eating spicy strips without any danger.

At dawn, there was a commotion and waves of wild beasts began to scramble for food.

Although the Forgotten Plain is more than ten miles in area, it is quite large, but it cannot withstand the foraging of tens of thousands of wild beasts.

Therefore, the fight for food naturally broke out.

With the fierce addition of the wild boars, the beast tide became chaotic.

Wild boars are omnivorous creatures. With their red eyes, they are scarier than tigers. Therefore, bloodshed is inevitable and the animals flee in panic.

"The sheep are coming, the sheep are coming!" On the wall of the village, the militiamen looked at the goats climbing the mountain and couldn't help but get excited, because they were all good meat.

"Kill the big ones and catch the small ones!" Yiliu shouted excitedly as he looked at the herd of goats climbing the mountain.

The beast tide is both a crisis and an opportunity. As long as you can hold on and operate properly, it will be a windfall.

"I will tie up the lamb, and you kill the big goat." Xiaocao, who came to check the situation after presiding over the incense-burning ceremony, couldn't help but say.

Upon hearing this, the six elders all had their eyes shining with excitement, and they gathered around Xiaocao to discuss the matter of catching the lamb.

"It's strange, why don't the beasts run towards us?" On the village wall, the orphan bear said as he looked at the beasts that avoided the village wall within a hundred meters.

"It must have been frightened by the blood." Yibao expressed his guess.

"It's possible, but we can't let our guard down because of this." said the remaining snake.

Upon hearing this, Yibao and others nodded, knowing that they must not let their guard down.

On the western wall, Liu Yu looked at the grizzly bear fishing on the other side of the river and said to Chen Jun, "We have brought a powerful enemy to Forgotten Township."

Chen Jun nodded silently after hearing this, and after thinking for a while, he said, "Master, I feel that Forgotten Township does not seem to be pessimistic about the incoming beast tide."

"Indeed." Liu Yu nodded and looked towards Yanfeng, then towards Xuanyuan, and then turned to Chen Jun and whispered, "Huang Ling is in charge of Forgotten Village, and..."

"What?" Chen Jun spoke uncalmly, interrupting Liu Yu.

Liu Yu was not surprised at all at Chen Jun's restlessness.

When he first learned from Liu Weizi that Huang Ling was in charge of Forgotten Township, he was shocked.

Huang Ling is a temple spirit that is difficult to support even in the capital city.

But the small town of Forgotten has such a thing, how can one not be surprised and shocked.

"Cough cough" Chen Jun coughed twice, trying to calm down, apologized to Liu Yu and asked if there was anything else.

"Xuanxu Sect." Liu Yu uttered these three words and explained, "If Forgotten Township encounters a disaster, Taoist Priest Liu will not sit idly by and will probably ask for help."

"Therefore, the leaders of Forgotten Township are worried about the incoming beast tide, but they are not pessimistic."

"Oh" Chen Jun suddenly realized what was going on and his worries disappeared.

Zhen Jun felt guilty for attracting the group of bear monsters, so when the beast tide appeared, he volunteered to lead the merchant guards and join the defense.

On the village wall, the militiamen looked at the flocks of goats that kept pouring up the mountain, their eyes shining. There were so many goats, and they were so fat, so densely packed, there were at least five or six thousand goats.

This was the first time they had seen a herd of goats of this size.

"Don't do anything, don't do anything." Yiliu looked at the leading sheep queuing outside the village wall and had an idea.

"What's wrong?" Yifeng looked at Yiliu and asked.

"Wait for me to communicate with the head sheep, maybe we can catch all the goats without bloodshed." After Yiliu finished speaking, he sat cross-legged on the wall of the village and used the unique ability of a beast trainer to communicate with several head sheep.

Upon seeing this, Yifeng ordered the militiamen and villagers to put down their bows and arrows and wait and see what would happen, feeling excited.

If Yiliu succeeds, the gains of Forgotten Township will be unimaginable.

Of course it is impossible to catch them all in one fell swoop. Bears and wolves eat goats, and humans also eat goats. Goats that can be the leader of the group are intelligent, so they will not allow themselves to be slaughtered by others.

Time passed as he waited. About a quarter of an hour later, Yiliu slowly opened his eyes with a strange expression.

"How's the communication going?" Yifeng looked at Yiliu and asked.

Yiliu stood up and said with a complicated expression: "The leaders want to make a deal with us."

"Transaction?" After being surprised, everyone looked at Yiliu with questioning eyes.
