First Lord of Earth

Chapter 26 Shocking change, someone is arresting someone?

Xia Tian put a bunch of trophies from the "Black and White Pheasant" into the lord's space.

Then he took Wu Song and two soldiers back to the territory, preparing to ask the masons and miners to return to the quarry to start work.

Speaking of which, since the location of this quarry was originally the nest of the "Black and White Pheasant", the safety is relatively high now.

After all, there was originally this kind of "overlord-level" creature that was beginning to transform. Without knowing that it was dead, ordinary creatures would probably not dare to approach it.

"Hey, what's going on? Why are everyone gathered together!"

When the four people returned to the protective shield, they discovered an abnormal situation, that is, everyone in the territory was gathered around the "Lumberjack Workshop".

Many people looked anxious and frowning, and two women among them were even crying softly.

"It's all my fault, really... I already knew there were monsters outside, and I should have kept an eye on them both. I couldn't let them escape my sight... It's all my fault, really!"

What did Mrs. Xianglin say?

After Xia Tian heard this, he had an ominous premonition in his heart.

"Master and Wu are back."

After seeing Xia Xia and Wu Song, the leaders suddenly became excited.

"What happened?"

Xia Tian asked seriously.

"Sir, I failed to take good care of them. Niuniu and Erya were captured by a ghost."

The old carpenter surnamed Lu, who was assigned by him to be in charge of the lumber workshop, said with a look of remorse.

"Ghosts arrest people?"

Xia Tian was stunned when he heard this.

It turned out that although most of the first batch of refugees were adults, there were also two children, one four and one five years old!

In modern society, such children would be cared for in every possible way, and would be afraid of falling if placed in the house, but children from the lower classes in ancient times could not be pampered and pampered.

In addition to the tight population in the territory, Xia Tian made a rule that everyone must work in exchange for food rations. Not only the adults, but also the two children helped in the "logging workshop" with tasks such as picking up branches.

It's just that, after all, they are children of a certain age and are not very safety-conscious. They accidentally stepped out of the protective shield while playing with each other.

"The ghost appeared out of nowhere. It had a thick black body, a green face, and fangs. Its eyes were bleeding, and its claws were as big as millstones. It grabbed the two children at once. Then it ran towards the forest, No more shadow!"

"Daniu and Zhuangshi Shen chased after him, but they disappeared!"

Although the old carpenter's words were a little confusing, Xia Tian even suspected that his description style was influenced by some novels and storytelling?

But he already figured out what happened and couldn't help but frown.

Although they are two children, to him, they are also his protected subjects. Moreover, he was already four short of the population needed to upgrade his territory, and now he suddenly lost two more. Doesn't this make matters worse?

Also, Daniu and Shen Lian, who were assigned to stay behind, chased them out. I wonder what the result was?

When you say big cow, big cow appears.

I saw a big cow walking out of the forest, holding a child in one hand, and holding a child covered with long black hair in the other hand, as thick as an ordinary person's thigh, with extremely sharp black-purple nails. Bloody broken arm!

"It's Erya."

A woman went to pick up the child in surprise.

"Huh... Sir, you are back!"

Daniel, on the other hand, saluted Xia Tian with some panting.

"What's going on? Tell me?"

It turned out that the "ghost" was very fast. Da Niu could not catch up, but Shen Lian caught up and used the Xiuchun knife to cut off one of the monster's arms, and at the same time saved a child. , but another child was still taken away by that monster!

So Shen Lian asked Daniel to take the man back while he continued the pursuit.

"So, this is the 'ghost' arm?"

Xia Tian watched the arm's "Eye of Insight" open to obtain some information.

【Broken arm】

【Level】Ordinary level

[Explanation] An arm cut off by a knife belongs to a 'drill'.

[Remarks] Mandrills are social creatures that like to eat human children. They are extremely powerful. The strong ones among them can even tear apart tigers and leopards with their bare hands!

"It seems that it's not a real ghost!"

Xia Tian breathed a sigh of relief after seeing the attributes.

There is no way, after all, modern people are still a little afraid of things like "ghosts".

"Mandrill, a child who likes to eat humans and tear tigers and leopards alive, why does it look familiar to him when he stands up?"

Then, Xia Tian frowned slightly again.

However, he didn't go into details, but was worried about Shen Lian chasing after him.

Shen Lian's strength is certainly good. He has reached the seventh level. As a senior Jinyiwei, his combat skills are even more proficient. He was able to cut off the arm of the monster named "Mandrill" with one knife during the pursuit, which shows that he can definitely have an advantage in one-on-one. .

But this kind of "mandrill" turned out to be a gregarious creature, so it might be dangerous for him to pursue it.

"You guys go to the workshop and bring the divine arm crossbow and crossbow arrows that were newly made today."

"All those who have been trained will follow me. The rest will stay in the territory and don't go out for the time being!"

After Xia Tian thought about it.

He led Wu Song, Daniu and other trained soldiers to pursue the "mandrill" in the direction in which it left.

Not only to support Shen Lian, but also because he felt it was necessary to understand the situation of these "drills".

Because according to the information obtained through the chat channel last night, once the territory is upgraded, it will be exposed to creatures within a certain range of the surrounding area. By then, this powerful, human-eating creature will most likely launch an attack on the territory. !

Since there will be a collision sooner or later, it is better to take this opportunity to find out the enemy's reality first.

The reason why he brought all the combatants and weapons was because if there was a chance, Xia Tian wouldn't mind solving the trouble directly.

Xia Tian himself has not noticed that after both his own and the territory's strength have improved, especially after the battle with the black and white pheasant just now, he seems to have broken some kind of "inner demon" and no longer treats this jungle as he did at the beginning. Not afraid, but already wanting to conquer!

"My lord, there is a mark here!"

It has to be said that Shen Lian was worthy of being a Jinyiwei. While tracking, he did not forget to use the traces cut by Xiuchun Dao to leave direction guidance.

Everyone followed the marks he left and walked almost ten miles in the jungle.

Wow!

There was a sudden sound from the bushes in front, and several soldiers immediately picked up the divine arm crossbows, only to find Shen Lian's figure.

It turned out that Shen Lian, as a royal guard, was very thoughtful. After discovering that the "ghost" was actually cooperating during the pursuit, he did not continue to chase and kill, but hid his figure and followed secretly.

"Sir, Shen Lian is not doing well, please punish him."

After seeing Xia Tian in the center of the crowd, Shen Lian looked very embarrassed and immediately stepped forward to apologize. After all, staying in the territory was the first task that Xia Tian gave him, but he messed it up!

"Let's talk about this later. Have you found the lair of those 'ghosts'?"

Xia Tian said.

"Those? Your Excellency already knows that this 'ghost' is not just one!"

Shen Lian was stunned for a moment, looked at Xia Tian in surprise, and then nodded.

"Yes, the ghost's lair is right ahead. Please be careful, sir. These 'ghosts' have very keen senses. I was almost discovered by them."

"It's okay, take me there!"

Xia Tian took out the "Mist Hidden Pearl" from the Lord's space.

Half a minute later, Xia Tian, ​​who was surrounded by a layer of fog, pushed aside the dense leaves in front of him and saw an open space that had just been cleared.

A humanoid creature about two meters tall, with a green face and fangs, eyes as red as blood, and covered with black hair, is holding up pieces of newly excavated rocks and pieces of wood that have just been cut down. Houses were built on the cleared land.

Well, these "mandrills" can actually build houses.

Although they are simply built with some stone and wood, this is enough to prove that they possess a certain degree of intelligence.

It also means that these "mandrills" are more dangerous than those reckless beasts that rely on instinct to do things!
