Chapter 278
"You are new here. You may not have heard from Xiaosan about what happened before... About ten people were arrested before and after this checkpoint to serve these two beasts."
"There were three people who escaped, and they were all devoured by this beast."
"Now at this checkpoint, there are only you and me, plus the mistress, there are three people in total."
The dark and thin young man counted and felt that the number was not right: "There are ten in total, three escaped, and now there are three...Aren't there four left? Uncle Zhang, you're not very good at counting."
"Oh... I can't count? Are you short-sighted? The other four people were all eaten by those two beasts because the immortal came late once before and there was no meat in the cellar." Sweat on foreheads of young people:
"They ran a mile or two away, and they didn't even escape the nose of this beast."
"Otherwise, how would I know that this beast can eat people when it's so hungry?"
"Then there's nothing we can do. You'll definitely die if you stay here." Xiao Chen, a thin and dark young man, frowned:
"Let's call the third brother and run in three directions to see who is lucky enough to survive...Where are the third brother and the others?"
"He just went to feed another flying tiger. I remember he was heading east---"
Having said this, the dark and thin young man suddenly made a "hush" gesture, and heard a rustling sound coming from behind the woods to the east, from far to near, which seemed to be the sound of footsteps.
"The third brother is back?" The thin, dark young man asked tentatively.
No one answered.
A moment later, a huge black shadow walked out from behind the bushes. It was the second flying tiger with wings on its back.
"I thought there was a thief..." The skinny middle-aged man wiped away his sweat, but before he could finish his words, he was patted on the shoulder by the skinny black young man next to him and pointed at the flying tiger.
Taking a closer look, I saw that there was still some blood on the mouth of this flying tiger, and there was even a small piece of rag left on its claws.
"It seems there are only two of us this time." The thin black young man said in a low voice.
"Let's run to both sides to see who is more lucky----"
Before he finished speaking, the two three- to four-meter-long flying tigers twitched their ears at the same time and looked towards the west.
The thin, dark young man looked intently and saw a small wild cat lying under the eaves of the checkpoint in the west.
Call it a wild cat, but this cat is a little different from ordinary wild cats. Its belly is almost stretched to the ground.
In today's world, where people don't have much to eat, where can they find such a fat wild cat?
What's even weirder is that the little wild cat was stared at by the two giant tigers. Instead of running away, it walked closer step by step with cat steps.
Roar!
The two giant tigers roared at the same time, and their wings suddenly spread out on their backs. The roar of the tigers shook the forest, and they opened their bloody mouths. The rolling sound waves made the surrounding weeds fall to the ground.
The wild cat was walking forward casually, but when the two giant tigers roared like this, it froze on the spot for a moment, then turned into a black shadow and suddenly pounced forward, with the cat's claws directly pressed on the nose of the giant tiger.
There was a bang.
The giant tiger seemed to have been hit hard by a huge blow. It hit the ground with its chin and made a shallow pit on the ground, with mud splashing everywhere.
The fat cat put a paw on the top of the giant tiger's head, and actually pressed the giant tiger's head into the mud bit by bit. It didn't stop until the giant tiger's roar suddenly stopped and its limbs twitched.
"What the hell kind of monster is this?"
The two thin black young men looked at each other and immediately prepared to take the opportunity to escape. However, before their legs could take two steps, they saw another flying tiger spreading its wings and taking off high into the sky, fluttering its wings and flying away into the distance.
This man-eating flying tiger can actually run faster than them? Still want to be decisive?
At this time, the wild cat that slapped the giant tiger's head opened its mouth and whimpered toward the sky, but what came out of its mouth was not a meow, but a strange sound:
"Jojojojo..."
"Is this how a cat meows? What kind of monster is this that is similar to a cat?" The thin, dark young man was confused.
The next moment, there was another loud noise, and the ground shook slightly, as if something heavy fell to the ground.
He turned around and looked.
But he saw a white-haired middle-aged man in his thirties holding the giant tiger's tail with one hand and dragging the giant tiger over.
The giant tiger was whimpering helplessly at this moment. Its limbs touched the ground, but it was completely unable to resist the huge force. It only dragged a long mark on the ground.
"Qiao Qiao is here." The wild cat turned around and shouted at the visitor.
The skinny middle-aged man turned around in horror. Only then did he realize belatedly that this wild cat was not a monster that resembled a cat and made a strange sound... It was a big monster that could speak human language, right?
"Alas. After teaching for so long, I still can't say anything right." The white-haired man dragged the giant tiger forward, and the fat cat then jumped on his shoulders.
"A big talking monster...and this big white-haired monster who transformed into a human, met two big monsters at the same time?" The two thin black young men looked at each other with despair.
Just leaving the tiger's den and entering the wolf's den again, my mentality has collapsed.
"Two locals? Just right." Qiao Mu saw the two people standing there and walked over to them.
The villa that Hai Wuya purchased is somewhere in the mountains of Southwest State.
Although Hai Siyuan also knew the general direction, saying it was in the north of Linhe Fucheng, it actually took a while to find it. It would save some time if there was a guide.
But just as he walked towards the two of them, he saw the thin, dark young man plopped down towards him and kneeled down decisively, saying:
"Your Majesty, please spare my life. I am too thin to eat and my teeth are bruised, but I am strong enough to shovel shit. I am willing to shovel shit for the King for generations... No, I am willing to patrol the mountains for the King."
Qiao Mu hissed.
The customs in Southwest Prefecture are really very different from those in Zhongzhou and Nanzhou...
....
"So you were captured to serve this giant tiger...beast slave? Everyone else was eaten, and you two are the only ones left?" Hai Siyuan asked with a frown.
When he came out of the Baili Desert, he already knew that the situation in Zhongzhou was in ruins.
Who would have thought that when I first arrived in Southwest China, the situation here might not be as good as that in Zhongzhou...
A leopard can be seen in a tube.
"Two adults, if you kill that giant tiger, I'm afraid you will get into trouble." The thin black young man also cleared up the misunderstanding at this time and reminded:
"This is a spiritual beast raised by the Immortal of the Yunxiao Sect. It died for no reason. The Immortals will probably feel it, and I'm afraid they will arrive soon."
"Yeah." Qiao Mu didn't take it seriously, but looked at the two people in front of him:
"Then, keeping you here is a dead end... Do you know where Linhe Fucheng or Peach Blossom Villa to the north of Linhe Fucheng is?"
The two thin, dark young men looked at each other and nodded excitedly.
Linhe Fucheng is not difficult to find. This is the largest Fucheng in Southwest Prefecture.
Although they have never heard of Peach Blossom Villa, it is not difficult to find it according to the map.
...
The southwest state is mountainous, so the so-called Peach Blossom Villa, as the refuge chosen by Hai Wuya, is naturally quite remote.
It is not around the more populous Fucheng, but in the mountains to the north outside Fucheng.
The so-called mountains and rivers are full of doubts and there is no way out, and there is another village with dark willows and bright flowers.
The mountains to the north of Fucheng seemed to be densely covered with vegetation and there was almost no way to go. After walking through the nine twists and turns of the mountain road, I suddenly came across a peach blossom forest in front of me.
A villa is vaguely visible in the peach blossom forest. The villa is surrounded by peach blossom trees. It can be regarded as a place with delicious grass and colorful fallen flowers. The scenery is quite pleasant.
At the gate of the villa, a burly black man could be vaguely seen waiting there. Seeing Qiao Mu, Hai Siyuan and others approaching, he came over with two long spears.
"Don't be nervous, Mr. Qiao." Haisi saw the person coming from a distance, and he was already convinced:
"My father Hai Wuya once told me that this villa is usually watched by his old friend's subordinates. If I want to come here, this dark and strong man will--"
Before he finished speaking, Qiao Mu blurted out:
"Is this Zhang Kui? Is the old friend of Hai Wuya you mentioned named Wang Songhe?"
This dark and muscular man, whom Qiao Mu had met in Nanzhou before, was one of the bandits who followed Wang Songhe. He was dark and strong and could use two guns. When Qiao Mu was 42 years old, he had a brief sparring session with him.
"Mr. Qiao also knows?"
Zhang Kui, the dark and muscular man, originally thought it was some kind of intruder. When he got closer and heard the conversation clearly, he naturally put down his guns and exchanged pleasantries.
"Are you Qiao Jin? The Qiao Jin who killed Emperor Yonghe?"
Zhang Kui stared at Qiao Mu several times and sighed slightly:
"Actually, I'm acquainted with brother Qiao Sen. When we were in Nanzhou, I used to sparring with brother Qiao Sen. You actually look younger than Qiao Sen looked at you back then. "
Speaking of this, Zhang Kui's face showed a look of reminiscence:
"I think back then, when Brother Qiaosen and I stormed into Yancheng together, we worked together to kill hundreds of guards of the Guo family, and took the head of Guo Yan, the lord of Yancheng City, in the midst of thousands of troops, I still think about it as if it was yesterday. "
The number of non-existent memories increased... I remember that you were clearly a trap... Naturally, Qiao Mu didn't expose it on the spot.
"Back then, the Qiao family was only famous in Yancheng, but now the Qiao family has become famous all over the world. Brother Qiao Jin has become a peerless master as famous as the Martial Saint and Yanshenji." Zhang Kui said with emotion:
"The Qiao family is still doing exactly the same things as they did in Yancheng. Generations of the Qiao family have sacrificed their lives, but now the world has changed drastically."
It has only been a year or two since Yancheng.
Zhang Kui is still the same Zhang Kui, more capable than what Qiao Mu remembered, and he looks like his martial arts level has been improved, that's all.
In the same real time, Qiao Mu has changed from Qiao Sen to the peerless master Qiao Jin.
"Wang Songhe, I heard that he is active in Nanzhou, why are you in Southwest State?" Qiao Mu asked.
Although the two states are adjacent and not far apart, Qiao Mu remembers that Wang Songhe went to be the city lord in Yancheng.
Now that Zhang Kui appears here, does it mean that something happened on Wang Songhe's side?
I was delayed by something during the day. I will update it tomorrow.
I was renovating the floor upstairs and replacing the floor tiles. Water seeped down and dripped onto my floor.
The wooden floor in the room cannot be soaked in water. The floor may have to be replaced in the future... I spent all my time during the day on this nonsense.
I can't finish writing at night, and I have to write again until 1.2 o'clock. I refreshed the leave request form at the beginning of the month, so I will update it tomorrow.
Then yesterday's monthly ticket reward totaled 2381, divided by 300, rounded to 8 updates, the reward owed is 1.60,000 words.
I will make up for it after I take leave today.

Chapter 282 The Secret Book of the Spear Saint (4k
A checkpoint not far from the southwest state boundary marker.
As soon as a rainbow light appeared in the sky, a Yunxiao Sect disciple frowned and fell to the ground.
This checkpoint was now deserted, the beast slaves had disappeared, and even the two flying tigers he kept here had disappeared.
A disciple of the Yunxiao Sect is good at controlling beasts, so of course he felt the sudden death of the two flying tigers.
He looked carefully at the shallow pits on the ground, as well as the long indentations where heavy objects were dragged and bent the green grass...
"It seems that the perpetrator is a great demon with great brute force. Even my two flying tigers are unable to resist... Well, there are still human footprints? Could it be a great demon in disguise?"
This Yunxiao Sect disciple quickly took off again and prepared to return to the sect.
To mortals, the two flying tigers were very ferocious beasts, but to him, they were just guard dogs that were kept on the border of the southwest state and used for detection.
If the flying tigers were alive, they could use their keen sense of smell to find the mortals who broke into the Southwest State from the border. With the power of the two flying tigers, it would be more than enough to stop the mortal warriors.
If Feihu dies, the intruder's whereabouts can be determined by the traces of battle at the time of death.
After some judgment, the conclusion was already obvious:
"A great demon in disguise broke into Southwest State."
"You have to report it to the sect."
"I don't know whether the sect's guardian will take action this time, or whether King Yu will take action."
The so-called "big monster" in the world's population actually refers to the strong ones among the monster clan and monster beasts. They are powerful monsters that cannot be defeated by human power.
In the way of martial arts, the fourth level is already the soft upper limit of internal strength, so even for a first-level god-refining martial artist, the internal strength has limited advantages compared to a fourth-level martial artist.
This is not the case with the demon clan.
The demon clan in its heyday was a powerful ethnic group that could compete with the immortal cultivators.
Although the monster beast also became weaker with the decline of spiritual energy, a lean camel was bigger than a horse. The big monster is known for its physical strength, and its physical strength is far beyond comparison with ordinary people.
