Strange World: My Systematic Practice Life

Da Da Da...

The sound of hoofbeats resounded through the night sky.

On both sides of the official road, several wild wolves were gnawing on something hard.

Hearing the sound, he immediately pricked up his ears vigilantly.

The scarlet eyes stared at the official passage in the darkness, showing sharp teeth, and let out low-pitched roars.

whoosh-

There was a sharp breaking wind.

A flying stone was shot precisely on the head of a wild wolf in front.

puff--

A big wolf head exploded directly.

Red and white things splashed all over the ground.

This sudden change shocked the surrounding wild wolves. They looked at the official road in panic, and wailing twice before ignoring the food in their mouths, they disappeared into the surrounding weeds and disappeared again.

Not long after, three horses galloped past.

"Damn... these beasts actually eat people!"

Looking at the broken things on the ground, Dong Xiu couldn't help cursing.

What the wolves ate just now was a corpse with only half of its body left.

The old grandson also looked a little ugly.

Seeing the same kind being ruthlessly eaten by wild beasts, even if he is used to seeing dead people, such a scene is also quite uncomfortable.

In the cold winter, these beasts and beasts have no food, so they will naturally attack people.

They have seen such a scene more than once along the way.

Egret was also a little surprised by this.

Before he went out, he always walked on mountain roads or some inaccessible paths.

I didn't expect this to be the scene when I went to the official road.

"Fortunately, there is a white man here, otherwise, with me and Xiao Dong, I am afraid that this journey will not be easy."

Old Sun glanced at the headless wolf corpse on the ground, and was amazed.

There are no fewer than a dozen wild wolves and black bears encountered along the way.

What's more, seeing them passing by on horseback, they actually wanted to attack them in ambush.

But it was all solved by Bailu lightly.

If it were the two of them, it might be a question of whether they could get here.

"How long will it take to get to Hongye Village?"

The egret drove the horse under him somewhat unskillfully.

Although he has practiced equestrianism since he became a head catcher in Black Clothes.

But after all, the time is still short, and he is still quite unskilled.

Although he could barely keep up with Dong Xiu and the others along the way, it was also thanks to his control over the body that he managed to maintain his balance on the horse.

However, this also hurt the black steed under Bailu. After being ridden by Bailu all the way, his original handsome appearance became much weaker.

"Baitouer, after passing the short road in front, we should have arrived at the Red Leaf Village. It is estimated that it will take less than half an hour."

The old grandson took out the map from his arms and looked at it carefully, and then he said with certainty.

"Half an hour!"

Egret muttered softly, and patted the black horse under him.

"Keep at it, and it'll be there soon."

The black horse seemed to understand something, snorted loudly, raised its front hooves high, and went a little faster.

It didn't take long before Dong Xiu and the others were left behind.

Seeing Bailu speeding up, Dong Xiu and his grandson looked at each other with a bit of dumbfounding in their eyes.

"Baitou is good at everything, but his equestrian skills still need to be improved."

"Yeah, I see the appearance of the black horse, the ribs on both sides are almost broken by the white head, it's really difficult for it."

"But let me tell you, Old Sun, what do you think of this mission!?" Dong Xiu drove the horse, but he was not in a hurry to catch up.

"How else to look at it, no matter whether it is dangerous or not, we soldiers can only go up to it."

The old grandson put away the map and said in a dejected manner.

"I can only ask God to bless you, and don't run into those ghosts this time."

"Tch, old grandson, where is there any god, instead of begging for the unfounded god, you might as well be careful yourself." Dong Xiu smiled disdainfully.

"But having said that, are those ghosts really so evil!"

"Huh! Xiao Dong, those ghost things didn't come out in recent years. I often heard about these ghost things when I was young, but then I don't know what happened, these things basically disappeared. I haven't heard of it either."

"Even the weird things before are like stories now, but since the past few years, these ghost things have started to appear again."

The old grandson replied as if recalling.

"That's when our Tianshui City began to have the Night Watch Army stationed there."

"What happened those few years ago!" Dong Xiu wondered.

"The devil knows, the old sun and me, the leader, can know this?"

"However, Xiao Dong listened to my elder brother, when you enter the village, please pay attention to you. Those ghosts are not something ordinary people like us can deal with. When you really encounter something in the village, remember to hide behind the white head. Maybe there is still a way to survive." The old grandson sighed lightly, and did not forget to tell Dong Xiu.

"I understand, and you too." Dong Xiu nodded.

"Hurry up, both of you..."

At this time, the voice of an egret sounded in front of them, and the two stopped talking, and hurriedly chased after the horse under them.

After half an hour.

The three of them were already standing in front of a village.

Although it was already late at night, the village was brightly lit.

Not only are lights lit in every household, but piles of bonfires are lit on the small roads in the village.

You know, lamp oil in ancient times can be regarded as a rare commodity, and these poor villages would not waste lamp oil if there were no major events on weekdays.

At night, they usually go to bed early. In the current situation, even a fool would know that it is not normal.

The three of them got off their horses.

When the egret came down, the black horse under him immediately dropped a prong and fell directly to the ground.

The corner of Bailu's mouth twitched slightly when he saw this.

"Isn't it just that I used more strength when riding, as for this appearance!"

Shaking his head slightly, Bailu didn't pay much attention to the beast, and directly tied him to the entrance of the village.

"who!?"

At this time, the movement of the three people had already disturbed the villagers.

There were several peasants in the village holding farm tools, who were looking at the three of them warily, and shouted sternly.

"We are the officials of Tianshui Prefecture, and we have been ordered to investigate the disappearance case of Hongye Village."

Seeing this, the old grandson took a step forward, and said bluntly.

Obviously, this situation has long been expected.

Sure enough, when the village names heard the news, they immediately looked at each other, with a look of joy on their faces, and soon a white-haired old man walked out from behind the villagers.

Leaning on crutches, the old man took a few steps, and immediately fell to his knees with a plop.

"Wang Defa, the head of Caomin Hongye Village, pays his respects to several adults."

Seeing his village chief kneel down, the villagers behind him also threw away their agricultural tools and knelt down.

Seeing this scene, Egret was slightly startled.

He didn't expect that he, a black-clothed headhunter, would have such a deterrent power.

Looking aside, the old grandson Dong Xiu's expression was as it should be, as if it should be so.

Bailu sighed softly in his heart, and stepped forward to help the old village chief up.

"Get up, Village Chief Wang doesn't have to be so polite."

"Dayu's etiquette should not be ignored." The old man persisted and kowtowed twice before slowly getting up.

Looking at the three Bailus in front of them, they especially paused for a moment when Bailu was dressed in black, and then cupped their hands towards Bailu again.

"I've seen Lord Ziyi."

Although the words were quite respectful, Wang Defa's downcast eyes were full of disappointment.
