Chapter 672: First Glimpse of Clues
It can be said that it would be strange if such a large and bloated team did not attract demons with its ostentatious actions.
Therefore, Fang Yu was mentally prepared for this.
However, although the demon appeared, it was hard to say how strong it was.
So Fang Yu acted quickly.
The figure flashed and disappeared!
So fast? !
Song Zhenrong was shocked on the spot, and his expression was stunned.
Compared with that time, Lord Diao's strength seemed to have changed qualitatively?
Could it be... that Lord Diao held back at the inn?
As for Fang Yu's instructions, Song Zhenrong naturally obeyed them well.
With Fang Yu to deal with it, he naturally didn't need to follow.
...
Liu Bixin was running away.
The appearance of the demon was so sudden.
Their family was just forced to move from the middle circle of the team to the outer circle because of the team's decision adjustment.
The outer circle is the most dangerous position of the entire team.
But Liu Bixin had no choice. When they fled from Thunder City, they were already in a panic.
The whole family had no money and no food. In a few days, the food they brought with them had been eaten up. They didn't even know how to get through the day.
Fortunately, Captain Song was righteous. Although he asked them to change their positions, he also promised to solve their food problem.
As long as people are alive, there is hope.
It is better to have food than to starve to death in a position.
Liu Bixin could understand the thoughts of Captain Song and even the decision-makers of the entire team, but his younger child was full of indignation.
"Why should we give up our position! The longer we hide in the team, the safer we will be! I don't think Captain Song is a good person! I used to hear about his good reputation in the city!"
"It's all your fault, Dad, for being weak. Why did you compromise? If we insist on not leaving, what can they do to us?"
"I know we have no food to eat, but we will just starve for a few days! Maybe in a few days, the team will pass through the town. Then why would we care about the team?"
"Now we are outside the team. If we encounter monsters, we will be scapegoats, scapegoats for those rich masters!"
The child is sixteen years old, an upright and radical age.
There are some things he doesn't understand.
There are some hardships he has never experienced.
Hungry for a few days?
From childhood to adulthood, Liu Bixin has never let his children go hungry!
Although Liu Bixin thinks he is not very capable, he still guarantees the food and drink expenses of the whole family.
And these are accumulated bit by bit by his own hard work.
The child has never suffered, but he has!
Just starving for a few days?
People who have really been hungry can't say such words.
That kind of pain will drive people crazy.
At a glance, it is not easy to take care of everyone's food and drink for such a large team?
Liu Bixin didn't expect Captain Song to help. After all, they were shameless and wanted to seek protection from Captain Song and others, just following all the way.
But Captain Song still came forward to solve the problem, and even promised to provide the most basic food relief.
This mind and this kindness can fully support Captain Song's reputation in Thunder City over the years.
The child is young and ignorant, so Liu Bixin didn't say much, and let him throw a tantrum.
But I didn't expect...
A pair of big black eyes suddenly emerged from the grass beside the official road!
What a soul-stirring and terrifying big eyes! Full of the killing desire and greedy eyes of a beast.
On the spot, Liu Bixin screamed.
"Demon, demon!!!"
He shouted loudly, causing panic in an instant.
The son who was just making a fuss immediately ran over here.
"Don't come over!" Liu Bixin shouted.
But the child was disobedient, rebellious and filial, and didn't understand the horror of demons. He ran over here with a roar.
At the same time, the existence of the huge eyes slowly emerged from the bushes.
The low roar that shook the chest, the huge fangs that were as long as the arm, the huge body that was three or five people tall, and the hair that stood upright all over the body...
A huge pig demon similar to a wild boar, with saliva flowing from its mouth, kept a certain distance from him, and stared at this side with its eyes fixed.
The crowd that began to flee after hearing his shouting, like moving ants, or flowing rations, made the huge pig demon's eyes turn.
But the pig demon seemed to be on guard against something, just like a beast hunting prey, it needs to measure the strength of both sides and the price to be paid first.
Liu Bixin could feel that the demon in front of him was thinking and hesitating.
But the temptation in front of him was gradually overwhelming.
Liu Bixin turned around and ran in the direction his son was running, to meet him.
But he started slowly and was at the edge of the team, so even if he was running, he was running at the end.
Beasts generally have a very basic attack logic, which is to attack the target closest to them.
This is why some people often say that when there are many people, you don’t need to run fast, just run faster than others.
Once a beast hunts a target, it will start eating on the spot.
Demons and beasts are a little different, but in the eyes of most people, they are actually the same.
Liu Bixin could feel his heart pounding.
If the demon behind him stopped watching and started hunting, then he... would most likely be the first to be hunted!
"Dad!!"
The distance between him and his son was getting closer, but Liu Bixin was still waving his arms desperately, shouting to run away.
But my son didn’t listen at all!
until……
tread!
The disobedient, rebellious son suddenly stopped.
The son who was not afraid of anything, and who was defying everything, suddenly turned pale.
Liu Bixin realized something.
At this moment, the brain was almost blank.
There is a huge shadow, blocking the fierce sunlight.
A sense of huge pressure was right behind him, very close, very close! !
"escape!!!"
Liu Bixin roared loudly for what might be the last time in his life.
It was also the first time that the son was willing to listen to his old father after his rebellion.
Escaped.
Running away.
Run!
Run! !
Looking at his son's back as he turned and ran away, Liu Bi's heart burst into tears, but his body was as heavy as lead and he couldn't move forward no matter what.
Everyone reacts differently when faced with extreme fear.
Liu Bixin was extremely frightened at this moment.
With children around him, he can still force himself to be brave when the children are in danger.
But when the child left and the child began to escape danger, he lost this courage.
The courage to escape.
stiff.
My whole body was so stiff that I couldn't move!
And he also began to feel that his death was approaching!
A huge sense of oppression and a huge sense of crisis came from the left, accompanied by the harsh whistling wind and the crazy beating!
Just realizing this almost exhausted all of Liu Bixin's physical potential.
And then...
Dead silence.
Like the wind of death, it passed through his body.
Liu Bixin felt as if his soul had been taken away.
But when I come back to my senses...
He discovered that he was still alive.
Slowly, confused, he turned around.
What he saw was a young man with a leisurely look, his feet on the back of a giant pig demon.
Just stepping like this, the demon that was exuding an extremely terrifying aura just now is now trembling with its huge black eyes, and its body seems to be frozen, not daring to move at all!
Even the huge fangs that were sweeping toward Liu Bixin from the side suddenly stopped midway, not daring to make any unnecessary movements.
This scene is like being drawn into the depths of Liu Bi's heart and soul.
He didn't know that even many years later, he would never forget this scene.
The afternoon sun was shining brightly, but the young man felt a little disappointed.
One stroke of hand.
A bone blade of more than ten meters spread out from his hand and easily sliced through the pig demon's neck.
Buzz! !
Like a sharp blade cutting through fallen hair.
The huge pig demon head was slightly misaligned with the huge body.
then……
Boom! ! !
The pig demon's head fell heavily to the ground, stirring up sand and dust.
Then, blood spurted out crazily from the broken neck of the pig demon, and the upright demon body also tilted and fell.
One knife... to kill? ?
Liu Bixin looked at the young man blankly.
The memory of a few days ago seems to have come back to me.
He seemed to know who this young man was.
"Diao, Master Diao!"
Liu Bixin quickly knelt down and worshiped on the ground.
The demon's blood sprayed on his body and dyed his clothes red, but he did not dare to move at all.
"Be frightened. If you see a monster in the future, run away. I will take care of it."
After a pause, Fang Yu glanced at the boy who was standing there in shock in the distance.
"Is that your child?"
Liu Bi's heart tightened: "Yes, yes!"
"Captain Song is forming a team and needs manpower. People like you who stay on the periphery of the team are exactly the people he needs. You can ask your son to sign up and say that I let you go."
Although Liu Bixin was kneeling on the ground, his eyes widened on the spot and he stared blankly at the ground, his brain a little slow.
Because, this is the wealth that pours into the sky! This is good fortune from heaven! It was a development he had never thought of.
Wait until you come to your senses.
"Thank you, Master Diao, for taking care of me!"
After that, he kowtowed several times and ignored the bruises on his forehead.
Fang Yu naturally saw it and didn't stop him.
When many people have nothing, they can only express their gratitude with a sufficient attitude.
"Although this monster is dead, the smell of blood has also spread out. It is not suitable to stay here for a long time. If you are prepared, the team should set off soon."
Fang Yu didn't say how to deal with the demon meat, but it naturally had to be collected. However, it was not his turn to worry about it. Song Zhenrong could handle it later.
This is the benefit of being a hands-off shopkeeper.
But after all, Fang Yu is just one person, and if there are several monsters appearing in one direction, Fang Yu can still handle them. If several monsters attack from all directions at the same time, it is inevitable that the team will suffer casualties.
Although Fang Yu never said that he would be responsible for everyone in the team, he did not want any casualties in the team as long as he could take care of them.
Those on the periphery of the team, like a personal flesh detector, will always be the first to be attacked by monsters.
Even if the guard system is established and patrols begin, these peripheral personnel still cannot be considered safe.
It's better to recruit them and find a way for them to deliver the message quickly.
As long as you get the information and rush over to support, it won't take long.
At this time, Liu Bixin's son had returned to Liu Bixin.
The look he looked at Fang Yu was complicated.
His expression was full of guilt, admiration, regret, and the instinctive fear of the rest of his life.
Fang Yu didn't say anything more and went back directly.
As for the system prompts, Fang Yu ignored them.
A monster with less than ten thousand health and only a few thousand health can't even provide experience points. It can only be killed with a single blow.
But in the action just now...
Fang Yu stretched out his hand and looked at his palm.
"Fargo... seems to have changed a bit."
As soon as he became conscious, there seemed to be some particles squirming beneath the surface of his skin. In the layers of ups and downs, there were rows of densely packed sharp protruding structures on his palms, like dense barbs or burrs.
Fang Yu thought for a while, and the change quickly subsided, and his palm returned to its original state.
"Next time, find a chance and give it a try."
If Fargo changes, it may also have new effects if it takes root.
Unlike other skills, it is improved step by step. Each improvement can be directly fed back to itself, and any changes can be fully understood.
These two skills are from a low-level stage and suddenly soar to a peak level.
It is equivalent to going home to visit relatives. The neighbor's child who was a child one day suddenly becomes what he or she is more than ten years later the next day.
Such drastic changes naturally bring about some strangeness.
That is to say, the system is so powerful. It would be impossible for any indigenous warrior to raise his skills from a low level to such a high level in such a short period of time.
…
After Fang Yu left, Liu Bixin looked at his children.
Joining Captain Song's team was an opportunity that he naturally hoped his children would seize.
So on the spot, Liu Bixin asked about her child's intentions.
But the child still stared blankly at the direction Fang Yu left and murmured.
"Dad, he...that guy...is about the same age as me, right?"
rare.
Few people noticed Fang Yu's age.
Because many people who have reached Fang Yu's height and strength have disguised their appearance, or have taken pills that nourish and shape their appearance.
Without knowing anything about Fang Yu, the first preconception was that... Fang Yu was an old monster.
Only an innocent or layman like Liu Bixin's child would think that Fang Yu's age is consistent with his appearance.
"I don't know etiquette! I want to call you Master Diao! As for age... Master Diao, I'm afraid he is at least a hundred years old, older than your father!"
Liu Bixin said seriously.
Seeing too much may not always be correct.
But the child quickly nodded seriously, and his solemn, desperate and jealous look immediately relaxed and melted away.
Yes, only that kind of old monster has such terrifying power.
How could that kind of guy be just like me... just a young man!
…
