Three years ago, a group of mysterious people annihilated the Ye family. He survived by luck but was thrown into prison, where by chance, he became the disciple of five masters...
Three years...
The other villagers present were also very grateful and looked at Ye Feng and Wen Lingyan with admiration.
In the eyes of these ordinary people, martial artists like Ye Feng and Wen Lingyan are probably no different from immortals.
Night Wind waved his hand and said, "Alright, everyone, disperse. The monster hasn't been dealt with yet, and no one knows when it will suddenly appear. So, you should continue to stay in your rooms as before. We'll call you out once we've dealt with the monster."
So the village chief and all the villagers scattered and went home.
Soon, only Ye Feng and Wen Lingyan remained.
“Let’s go check the traces at the scene; maybe we can find clues about that monster,” Wen Lingyan said.
Night Breeze nodded and followed immediately.
The two soon arrived at a destroyed house.
The brick house was completely destroyed, with broken bricks and tiles everywhere, and a lot of bloodstains.
The night wind even found a blood-soaked severed hand in the ruins of the house.
However, only the severed hand was found at the scene; no other parts of the body were present.
This means that when the house was destroyed, the villagers living in it were not killed by the collapsing house, but were swallowed alive by the monster.
However, the monster didn't finish eating, leaving behind a severed hand.
"How awful!"
Looking at the severed hand in Ye Feng's hand, Wen Lingyan was so angry that her teeth itched.
Night Wind shook his head without saying much, but a blazing white flame flew out from his hand, instantly turning the severed hand to ashes.
"Keep searching. That monster must have left clues. It's a monster, not a human. It couldn't possibly have erased all traces here," Ye Feng said.
Wen Lingyan nodded and headed to the next ruin with Ye Feng.
Before long, Ye Feng and Wen Lingyan made a discovery.
"What is this?" Wen Lingyan asked.
Night Wind picked up a glittering scale from the ground; there was no doubt that the scale had fallen from the body of a demonic beast.
"It should be scales from the body of a demonic beast," Ye Feng said.
"show me."
Wen Lingyan took the scale from Ye Feng and examined it carefully.
The scale was crystal clear and very beautiful, reflecting a dazzling light under the sun.
However, Wen Lingyan looked at it for a long time but still couldn't figure out which kind of monster the scale came from.
After a moment's thought, Ye Feng said, "Perhaps it's a scale from the White Crystal Crimson Feather Beast."
"White Crystal Crimson Feather Beast?" Wen Lingyan looked at Ye Feng curiously.
“I’ve seen this kind of monster in a book of beast illustrations in the library. The White Crystal Crimson Feather Beast has crystal clear scales all over its body, but it has a tuft of bright red feathers on its head that looks like flames,” Ye Feng explained.
After a pause, Ye Feng continued, "The White Crystal Crimson Feather Beast is a seventh-grade demon beast, corresponding to the True Essence Realm of human martial artists. If that demon beast really is the White Crystal Crimson Feather Beast, then it will be easy to deal with."
"Junior brother, I didn't expect you to specialize in studying demonic beasts," Wen Lingyan said with some surprise.
"Is it strange to study demonic beasts?" Ye Feng asked with a smile.
“Not surprising, not surprising,” Wen Lingyan shook her head repeatedly.
The exact nature of the monster that attacked the village has now been determined.
However, Ye Feng and Wen Lingyan do not know where the monster is, so they cannot capture it.
If Night Wind were at its peak, there would be several ways to track down the White Crystal Crimson Feather Beast using this scale in his hand.
However, his injuries had not fully healed, and his strength had not been restored, so he could not use many techniques.
So Ye Feng said, "Senior sister, since that monster has attacked here once, it will most likely attack a second time. In that case, we might as well wait here and wait for it to walk into our trap."
Hearing Ye Feng say that, Wen Lingyan frowned deeply.
"What if it doesn't come?" Wen Lingyan asked.
"We'll wait here for three days. If the White Crystal Crimson Feather Beast doesn't appear, then we'll return to our sect for help," Ye Feng said with a wry smile.
"It seems that's the only way." Wen Lingyan nodded with a wry smile.
Waiting for a rabbit to run into a tree stump is undoubtedly a very stupid method, but the problem is that there is no other way at the moment.
Since that's the case, we can only listen to the night wind and wait here for the White Crystal Crimson Feather Beast.
The day passed quickly.
Night had fallen.
The village was pitch black, without a single light, as if no one lived there.
But Ye Feng and Wen Lingyan both knew that this was simply because the villagers were all on edge, fearing another attack by the monster, so they dared not light candles in their houses.
At this moment, Ye Feng and Wen Lingyan were located on the outskirts of the village.
Wen Lingyan sat on the grass, with Ye Feng in front of her. A small campfire was burning quietly in front of them, occasionally crackling as the branches in the fire broke.
"Why hasn't the White Crystal Crimson Feather Beast arrived yet?" Wen Lingyan asked.
"Senior sister, be patient," Ye Feng said.
Wen Lingyan smiled wryly, "Junior brother, I don't have as much patience as you do. You don't seem to be in a hurry at all."
"Anyway, we'll finish the mission early and return to the sect; there's nothing important to do," Ye Feng said casually.
“That’s true.” Wen Lingyan nodded.
Suddenly feeling a bit hungry, Wen Lingyan said to Ye Feng, "Junior brother, go and get me something to eat."
Hearing Wen Lingyan's words, Ye Feng felt both annoyed and amused.
Does this woman really think they're here for a picnic?
Ye Feng remained silent, ignoring Wen Lingyan, but Wen Lingyan persisted in her nagging and pestering. Finally, Ye Feng, annoyed, could only nod and say, "Alright, Senior Sister, wait for me here. I'll be right back."
Night Wind rose and flew away into the distance.
About fifteen minutes later, the night breeze had already returned.
Ye Feng was carrying two rabbits, which he had already cleaned and gutted.
When they got closer, Ye Feng strung the two rabbits together with branches and roasted them by the campfire.
Before long, an enticing aroma wafted from the two roasted rabbits, making Wen Lingyan's mouth water.
"Senior sister, wipe it clean," Ye Feng reminded her.
Wen Lingyan then realized that her saliva was dripping out of her mouth, and she looked embarrassed.
After waiting a while longer, the rabbit meat was finally cooked. Wen Lingyan immediately picked up a roasted rabbit and ate it with gusto, while Ye Feng savored it slowly and deliberately.
Unexpectedly, at that moment, a look of surprise appeared on Ye Feng's face.
"What's wrong, Junior Brother?" Wen Lingyan asked.
