Chapter 5: The sound transmission bell rings and the news comes

Haixing Island, Haixing Town.

Almost all the mortals living on this small island have the blood of the Li family flowing in their bodies.

The immortals in this world do not shy away from showing off in front of people. Sometimes, you can even see immortals flying overhead when you look up. So everyone knows that immortals and demons coexist in this world, monsters are rampant, and the status of mortals in this world is very humble.

However, for the tribesmen on Haixing Island, they are lucky because they have the protection of the Li family of immortals behind them, which is much better than mortals who have no place to live, so they can live a stable and prosperous life.

In a quiet courtyard, Song Yuchan is preparing breakfast in the kitchen, and Li Hai is dancing with a sword in the yard. It is worth mentioning that there is a cradle hanging under the shade of a tree next to it, and a baby boy is lying quietly in it.

Judging from the age of the baby, it is estimated that he is only a few months old, and it is obvious that he was born not long ago.

Li Hai looked at his son in the cradle and his wife cooking in the kitchen, his eyes full of happiness. Suddenly, he thought of his eldest son far away in Qingyun Island, and a trace of sadness flashed in his eyes.

"Dong, Dong, Dong...!"

In the early morning of that day, the island suddenly rang a bell, and the bells rang one after another. The people in the whole town woke up, and Li Hai stopped dancing with a solemn look on his face.

A sound transmission bell was hung in the middle of the town. It was a magic weapon. Only when encountering an irresistible event would the tribesmen ring the bell to warn.

Song Yuchan also came out of the kitchen when she heard the sound. She was wearing a green skirt and an apron on her chest. Although there were servants and cooks at home, she cooked by herself.

Looking at Li Hai, Song Yuchan said with a little worry: "Husband, be careful!"

As the patriarch of the mortal world, Li Hai had to find out what happened when the sound transmission bell rang.

"Madam, if a monster enters the island, you take Yang'er and hide in the cellar."

Li Hai gave a warning and walked out of the courtyard.

In the early days of the establishment of the clan, the Li clan was not stable. Monsters often attacked mortals, so everyone dug tunnels underground. This was the experience summed up by the older generation.

Although the family was a backer, everyone did not put all their hopes on the family's cultivators. After all, accidents always happen.

At this time, a group of clansmen had gathered in the square of the town, holding various weapons in their hands.

In the center of the crowd lay a bloody corpse, covered with horrible claw marks, and one hand and one foot were bitten off. It was extremely horrible, and it was obvious that it was not caused by ordinary beasts.

A middle-aged woman lay beside the corpse and cried to the sky. Her voice was sad and weak. It could be said that those who heard it were sad and those who listened to it shed tears. Obviously, the deceased was her close relative.

At this time, a loud shout rang out in the crowd.

"All clansmen, please make way. The clan leader is here!"

Upon hearing this, everyone immediately made way for a passage, and saw Li Hai wearing armor and holding a sword, walking over surrounded by several clansmen.

Someone hurriedly comforted the crying woman and pulled her away. Li Hai squatted down to check carefully. Looking at the hideous wounds on the body, he had already guessed in his heart, and his heart sank.

Someone noticed Li Hai's expression and hurriedly asked: "Chief, is this caused by a monster?"

Everyone knew that Li Hai's father was a cultivator with a high level of cultivation. Even in the entire Li family, he was a big figure. His understanding of the world of cultivation was definitely better than everyone else.

Although other people also had descendants who went to Qingyun Island to practice, many people might not be able to leave the island several times in their lives. Even if they occasionally returned to Haixing Island to visit relatives, they could not talk too much about the world of cultivation due to the clan rules. After all, there is a difference between immortals and mortals, and knowing too much about the world of cultivation is of no benefit to mortals.

Li Hai saw that there was no need to hide it, and directly said his guess: "This level of injury is indeed 90% likely to be caused by monsters."

Although everyone present was a little surprised when they heard this, they were not too surprised. Everyone was not stupid. They obviously had guesses in their hearts, but just wanted Li Hai to confirm it.

Men on the island learn fishing and hunting skills after they become adults. Ordinary wild animals are no match for them. Only monsters can make them feel afraid.

"Who brought the body here? What happened?"

Li Hai looked around and asked hurriedly.

"Chief, the body was brought down from the mountain by Li Tie. He asked me to ring the sound transmission bell to inform everyone that he was also injured and had gone back to bandage."

The speaker was a middle-aged man in his forties with a thin face and a slightly fat body.

He saw with his own eyes that Li Tie carried the body here with scars all over his back. As for what happened, he didn't know.

Hearing this, Li Hai could only send someone to call Li Tie.

Not long after, a thin man with bandages wrapped around his body and bruises on his face limped over.

"Li Tie, what happened to you?"

Li Hai asked bluntly when he saw Li Tie coming.

"Chief, this morning, seven of us went hunting in the mountains as usual. Halfway through, a tiger monster suddenly jumped out. This beast had tough fur, was as fast as the wind, and could spit fireballs. We were no match for it, so we split up and ran for our lives."

"I accidentally fell off a cliff on the way, and I saved my life. When I returned to the mountain, I only saw Erniu's body. The tiger had disappeared, and the rest of the tribesmen didn't know where they had fled. I was injured and didn't dare to go deeper to look for it, so I had to take Erniu's body down the mountain first. I don't know what happened next."

After Li Tie finished speaking, his face was full of sorrow and anger. Things in the world have changed, and he never thought of such an ending. Now that his legs and feet are injured, he may still have hidden diseases even if he recovers in the future, but compared to the person who died, there is still life and death left. He was lucky enough to have five unknown people.

Everyone was shocked when they heard Li Tie's words. They thought there were only two people, Li Tie and Li Erniu, but they didn't expect that five people were still missing.

So someone immediately asked anxiously.

"Who are the other five people?"

Li Tie did not hide anything and named the remaining five people one by one.

After he finished speaking, some people couldn't help but secretly breathed a sigh of relief, while others looked worried and sad.

Although we are all members of the same clan, we are all composed of families. Naturally, there are differences in the hearts of those who are close and far away. This is also a weakness of human nature.

"Clan leader, please save the child's father!"

"Chief, please save your husband! We have only just gotten married, and we don't want to lose our father when our child is born."

"Haier, please send a letter to your superiors for help as soon as possible! Now there are monsters on the island. Even for the future safety of the tribe, they must be eradicated. Otherwise, if the tiger descends from the mountain, it will be a disaster for us!"

…

Everyone knew that only Li Hai could contact the Li clan. The people who spoke were old and young, either public or private, and they all asked him to ask for help from the clan. After all, the monsters were not something they could deal with.

Because Haixing Island has no spiritual veins and is only more than a hundred miles away from Qingyun Island, the family did not send anyone to garrison it.

Whenever something beyond the abilities of mortals is encountered, Li Hai is responsible for contacting the family's immortal cultivators to handle it.

"Don't worry, everyone! I will go back and contact the family immortal master to exterminate the demon. During this period, everyone is not allowed to go hunting in the mountains or go fishing in the sea. We will wait until the family immortal master eliminates the demon."

Li Hai agreed with everyone's opinions without any hesitation. As the patriarch, in addition to maintaining the stability of the tribe on the island, he was also the liaison with the family's immortal cultivators. This was his responsibility and obligation, and he could not refuse.

"I will distribute pensions to all clan members who died because of monsters. I believe that the family immortal master will avenge your relatives when he arrives. Everyone, please rest assured!"

When Li Hai saw that the family members of the missing tribesmen were still feeling sad, he immediately offered words of comfort and said that he was used to incidents of monsters hurting people. Although he was heartbroken, he had no other choice.

He often heard his father say that although immortal cultivators have a long lifespan, few people can live to the end of their lives. They may encounter powerful enemies or ferocious monsters and die instantly, let alone them. Mortal.

After hearing this, everyone accepted the result calmly and dispersed one after another. Li Hai also left the place after seeing this, preparing to go back and report the matter to him with the treasure Li Daozong gave him.
