During the communication along the way, Shen Yuan also learned that the place where the hunters lived was called Hejiazhai, located at the foot of the Black Wind Mountain at his feet.

Heifeng Mountain is one of the mountains in Yunfu. Hejiazhai has been worshipping the Heifeng Mountain God for generations for thousands of years.

It was not until the spiritual energy tide arrived more than half a year ago that many wild beasts turned into monsters, and the Black Wind Mountain God also awakened from then to protect the people of Hejiazhai.

Black Wind Mountain was not very big. After walking for more than half an hour, Shen Yuan saw a village built in a valley.

This village is not small. It is built entirely of wooden structures. It seems to have a long history and there is no trace of modern architecture at all.

As more than a dozen hunters returned, many people in the village immediately took the initiative to come out to greet them.

"Uncle Li is back from hunting, and he brought back a black bear!"

"Why did you come back so soon this time?"

"Hurry and check if there are any injured people."

The crowd immediately started talking, and many people turned pale when they heard that they had encountered a monster. The relatives of the dead in the hunting team also collapsed to the ground and cried loudly.

And when everyone heard that Shen Yuan had killed the monster, they looked at Shen Yuan with fear and resentment, but not gratitude.

Seeing this, the hunter leader directly invited Shen Yuan into a large building in the village in order to avoid conflict.

Here Shen Yuan met the elder of Hejiazhai, an old man who looked like he was about to die.

However, what surprised Shen Yuan was that the old man actually exuded the aura of a cultivator.

However, since he had no practice method, the old man could only rely on his instinct to absorb and exhale spiritual energy to transport essence, so he still remained in the early stage of essence refining.

Even so, this skinny-looking old man has the ability to easily kill wild beasts.

After the hunter leader explained everything in detail, the elder of the Hejiazhai tribe smiled and said to Shen Yuan:

"Thank you Mr. Shen for your help."

Shen Yuan looked at the elder of the He family with some curiosity:

"Don't you resent me for killing the bear monster?"

The elder of the He family smiled calmly and said:

“Mr. Shen saved people out of kindness. It was those monsters that really caused all this. Mr. Shen did nothing wrong.

How can I not distinguish right from wrong and impose the fault of the monster on Mr. Shen just because I am afraid of monsters? "

Shen Yuan was slightly surprised.

There were only three people in the entire Hejia Village who did not show hostility towards him for killing the bear monster.

The first one was the hunter leader who was truly grateful, but although he was grateful, he might have blamed Shen Yuan in his heart.

The second one is Ah Man, who looks honest and simple, but is actually ignorant.

The third one is the elder of the He family in front of him, who truly sees through the nature of these monsters.

"So, the elder of the He clan knows the truth about the monster outside the Yunfu Mountains?"

The He family elder stroked his beard and smiled, "Although I am also born a mountain dweller, I also hold an official title in the Great Xia court, and I have been to the state capital and seen the world.

If it were just the monsters in the Yunfu Mountains, they would not be able to be compared with the Great Xia court. Even a big monster would find it difficult to resist a salvo of those hot weapons.

So I dare to assert that there is absolutely no danger outside the Yunfu Mountains as rumored, and those are just excuses to restrict us mountain people to the mountains. "

The words of the He family elder had already stunned the hunter leader who was standing beside him. He stammered and asked:

"But, but elder, why didn't you tell us?"

The He family elder reached out and tapped the cane in his hand, snorting coldly:

"Tell you? With your limited brains, if I tell you today, the mountain god will come to our door tomorrow.

Since the mountain god wants to use monsters to trap us mountain people here, he will definitely not let the news that the outside world is safe spread.

Otherwise, as long as there is this hope, there will be a steady stream of mountain people wanting to leave the Yunfu Mountains.

Even if the monster blockade is tight, there may be some fish that slip through the net, and this is definitely not what the mountain god wants to see."

The hunter leader scratched his head and was suddenly speechless.

"But, but after we kill the bear monster, what should we do?"

Upon hearing this, the elder of the He family narrowed his eyes and hit the hunter leader's head hard with his walking stick:

"You idiot, since the mountain god has trapped us in this deep mountain, there must be a purpose. How could he really give up on us?

As long as we act more pitiful when offering tributes, and place the bodies of the dead hunters in front of the mountain god, he will at most give us a symbolic punishment, and it won’t really harm the entire village.”

The words of the He family elder successfully refreshed Shen Yuan's cognition.

I guess it is probably because of the elder of the He family that the Hejia village has been able to safely survive the past six months.

"He clan elder, how much do you know about the Black Wind Mountain God?"

Hearing this, the elder of the He clan frowned slightly and said:

“My Hejiazhai has worshipped the mountain gods of the Yunfu Mountains for generations, and there are also some records about the Yunfu Mountains in myths and legends.

It is said that every mountain god has the powerful strength to control the force of the mountain. As long as the mountain god stomps his feet, the mountain will collapse and the earth will tremble.

But the mountain god we worship in Hejia Village today seems to be different from the one in the legend."

Before Shen Yuan could think about the meaning of the He family elder's words, there was a sudden howling of wind outside, and large tracts of black fog continued to gather, and the strong wind seemed to turn into a black hurricane.

"The mountain god is here!"

"The mountain god will unleash his wrath on the sinners who killed the demon race."

The He family elder was shocked. He had never expected that the Black Wind Mountain God would come so quickly. He could only tell the hunter leader:

"Hurry up and follow me to welcome the Black Wind Mountain God." Then the He family elder looked at Shen Yuan with an apologetic look and said respectfully:

"Mr. Shen, please do not show up rashly before the Black Wind Mountain God leaves, to avoid unnecessary trouble caused by the presence of outsiders."

"I see."

After saying this, the elder of the He family hurried to the center of the village.

At this moment, in the dark hurricane, a huge black body nearly ten meters tall slowly appeared.

The huge black body was almost completely covered by the black wind, retaining a roughly human outline, and its demeanor was as majestic as that of a god.

"Greetings to the Black Wind Mountain God!"

A large number of Hejiazhai mountain people knelt on the ground and loudly praised the name of the Black Wind Mountain God.

However, the Black Wind Mountain God completely ignored the villagers of Hejiazhai. His pair of eyes flashing red were fixed on the huge corpse of the bear monster brought back by the hunter team.

“Bang!”

A big hand slapped down heavily, crushing several hunters into minced meat, and the brutal tone slowly sounded.

"Tell me who killed him!"

All the mountain people were stunned for a moment, even the hunter leader and the elder of the He family who had just arrived had frozen expressions.

The Black Wind Mountain God's expression of shock and anger was completely different from what had been expected.

"No?"

"Then die!"

A black gale howled in an instant, and there seemed to be a blade hidden in the violent sound of the wind, which easily blew away the bodies of several hunters who tried to escape. The flesh and blood bloomed in the wind, revealing the pale skeletons underneath.

"Lord Mountain God, I am your devout believer!"

"This is none of our business. It's all caused by that outsider, that outsider!"

However, the Black Wind Mountain God no longer cared about anything at this time, and all the mountain people became his targets of attack.

The He family elder was already furious at this time, he roared loudly:

"Lord Mountain God, do you really want to kill us all?"

"Are you going to ignore the agreement of the Yunfu Mountain Gods?"

These words finally stopped the Black Wind Mountain God who was caught up in the killing, but before anyone could show joy, a huge hand slapped the He family elder heavily.

Under the powerful pressure, the elder of the He family, who was only in the early stage of refining essence, had no power to resist at all and could only watch the huge palm falling.

He has lived to this age and is not afraid of his own life or death, but he can see the future of Hejiazhai’s destruction from the scene before him, and this is what really scares him.

At this moment, a white sword light rose from the void and slashed towards the Black Wind Mountain God with unstoppable sharp sword force.

The sword light was so sharp that both the black hurricane and the huge palm were shattered under the sword light. A clear crack spread from the direction of the Black Wind Mountain God's arm to his entire body.

"boom!"

The huge body that was ten meters tall exploded instantly, revealing the surging and boiling demonic power underneath.

Under the disguise of the ten-meter-tall humanoid body, there was actually a gigantic black bear monster.

The elder of the He family looked in astonishment at the Black Wind Mountain God who had revealed his true form and the bear monster on the ground, and instantly understood why the Black Wind Mountain God was so furious.

The bear monster that was killed was most likely the offspring of the Black Wind Mountain God.

"Damn human practitioners, do you want to arouse the anger of the mountains?"

A furious voice came out from the black bear's mouth. The boiling demonic power had surprisingly reached the peak level of refining essence. Its huge body was so heavy that it looked like a mountain rock.

"The so-called mountain god turned out to be a black bear spirit."

Shen Yuan walked out of the hall, his casual voice carrying a hint of surprise.

Gently stroking the Huiming sword at his waist with his right hand, Shen Yuan looked at the Black Wind Mountain God with a scrutinizing look in his eyes.

The Black Wind Mountain God was furious and subconsciously wanted to take action, but he could not see through the current state of the young man in white in front of him.

The amazing sword power that Shen Yuan had just displayed, which broke his divine body, really made him undecided.

Such a powerful human being should not appear outside the Yunfu Mountain.

"Black Bear Demon, I killed your offspring, don't you want revenge?" Shen Yuan asked with interest.

The Black Wind Mountain God showed a struggling expression on his face, and then suppressed his anger: "I don't want to!"

Shen Yuan showed a look of disappointment, then corrected himself:

"No, you should want to avenge your offspring, and I can only fight back to protect myself."

The Black Wind Mountain God was furious: "You are clearly just looking for a reason to attack me. You are really going too far!"

However, just as he finished speaking, a sword light was already approaching him, and then the plain voice sounded again.

"Only if you take this sword will you be qualified to survive."
