He Song originally didn't want to target the hunter, but Chongtou Village was not a big place, so he really didn't know where to start.
Thinking that the hunter was determined to stop them today, he naturally set this man as his first tracking target, trying to get some clues from the hunter.
Although the hunter looked like an ordinary man, his pace was not slow. He reached the foot of the mountain in less than half an hour.
He Song used a talisman of concealment and followed the hunter carefully. He watched the other party turn east and west and finally came to a cave.
The hunter obviously didn't want others to know the secret here. When he was about to go in, he looked around a few times, as if he was afraid that someone would rush out and discover the cave.
He Songben thought that the hunter couldn't see him, so it would be okay if he went in and took a look first.
But unexpectedly, there was a secret door in the cave. He Song understood the principle that you can't eat hot tofu in a hurry.
After a long while, the hunter finally came in. After groping on the mountain wall for a few times, the stone door in front of him finally opened.
He Song only felt a flash of white light before his eyes, and then he heard the hunter's laughter.
He fell to the ground uncontrollably, and out of the corner of his eye he saw the monster he had been looking for: a fox trapped in chains, a red four-tailed fox, which even bared its fangs at him.
The moment before He Song lost consciousness, he finally regretted that he shouldn't have been so arrogant and acted alone.
"Squeak, squeak, squeak."
The locked fox looked at the strange man in front of it, and its cries gradually became sharper and sharper. It even struggled, as if warning the hunter.
But the hunter just turned a blind eye to the fox's abnormal behavior. He looked coldly at He Song, who was lying on the ground, his life or death unknown. He kicked him angrily and spat at him:
"What the hell? I told you not to come in, but you still followed me here. Do you really think I'm stupid?"
Hunter, that is, Xu Shan.
From the moment he stepped out of the courtyard, he noticed someone was following him.
He had been hunting for a living since he was a child, and his sight to animals was particularly keen. Moreover, the man on the ground was following him openly and watching his every move, so it was hard for him not to notice.
But this man was also cunning. Every time he turned around, he disappeared, so he thought it was a coincidence at first.
It was not until he had taken several detours and the gaze still fell squarely on him that he was sure that someone was following him.
Xu Shan is not a fool. How could he allow the other party to follow him and destroy the peaceful life between him and Qing Niang?
He immediately thought of the group of people he met at the village entrance today, the group who said they wanted to catch a monster.
Doesn’t he want to catch monsters?
He will be a good person for once and help him.
Xu Shan looked at He Song, who had no ability to fight back and was already unconscious. He dropped the wooden stick in his hand, bent down slightly, dragged He Song by the back of his collar and walked towards the fox.
This formation was left behind by a previous master. It is said that it can suppress any evil magic. Anyone who enters here, even a great immortal, will have to keep his tail between his legs and listen to him obediently.
"Mountain God?" Xu Shan looked at the chained fox and sneered, "Calling you Mountain God shows respect for you. If I still can only hunt dead rabbits tomorrow, don't blame me for turning hostile."
He was hoping to hunt more to buy new clothes for Qingniang, so how could he let this fox ruin his plans?
As he spoke, he pulled the chain beside him and tied He Song up, muttering, "If you want to catch the monster so much, then stay with this monster."
"I want to see how capable you kind people are."
The four-tailed fox didn't expect Xu Shan in front of him to say such words. A trace of shock flashed in the fox's eyes. It struggled with its front legs and grabbed Xu Shan's calf, trying to drag him down and tell him the truth, but what came out of its mouth was the fox's cry that was not human language.
Xu Shan turned around and looked at the fox that kept calling out and the fox that was pulling his claws. He reached out and grabbed the fox's neck in annoyance and threw it away.
The fox's body fell on the cold stone and it screamed again, but the sharp and piercing sound made Xu Shan even more unhappy. He didn't care that he still needed the fox's help, so he walked forward and kicked it.
The chain bound the fox's body tightly, controlling it within a certain range. It wanted to hide but also wanted to gamble. It was caught off guard and was kicked directly in the abdomen. It curled itself into a small ball and fell to the side whimpering.
There were tears in its eyes and its nose was twitching, as if it had suffered a great injustice, and the pain in its body forced it to be obedient.
Wait a little longer, Xu Shan will find out. How could he not find out since he loves Qingniang so much? Wait a little longer...
Xu Shan, who saw this scene, did not feel the slightest bit of pity. If the fox was not useful, he would have skinned it and sold it for a good price.
Thinking of this, Xu Shan's gaze fell on He Song again.
I don't know if that Yanzong guy is crazy. He sent dozens of people over to deal with just this one guy. Are they all as useless as him?
If that's the case, it's understandable, Xu Shan thought, and smiled again.
However, Xu Shanke did not have the patience to wait for He Song to wake up. Witnessing his panic-stricken look, he tied him up and tried to pull him again. After making sure that everything was correct, he walked out.
He still had to go and accompany Qingniang. If Qingniang woke up halfway and saw that he was not there, she would be worried.
As Xu Shan thought about it, his steps became faster and faster.
Xu Shan walked very fast and did not take a detour, so he returned to the yard not long after. He first patted his clothes to shake off the dust on his body, and then walked into the inner room.
Looking at Qingniang lying on the bed and seeing nothing unusual, Xu Shan breathed a sigh of relief. After taking off his clothes, he slowly climbed onto the bed and held her in his arms.
He had to find a way to deal with the man in the cave, otherwise it would be a trouble if those people found him.
And as for that fox, if he couldn't hunt anything good in the next few days, he would just skin it and sell it for money.
It has four tails, so I think it can be exchanged for a lot of things.
Xu Shan was thinking, and before he knew it, he fell asleep.
What he didn't know was that the moment he fell asleep, Qingniang in his arms opened her eyes, her eyes cold and with a hint of mockery.
That wasn't a look Qingniang would have. More bluntly, it wasn't a look a human could have. It was like a monster's, filled with nothing but malice. (Note: The scenes in parentheses are before midnight.)
