Chapter 10 Demons cannot compare to the evil in people’s hearts

Xu Hei's consciousness suddenly woke up. He took a breath of spiritual energy to regain some consciousness, and then his spiritual consciousness came out.

Just outside the surface, two hounds were sniffing in front, while the sound of human footsteps could be heard from behind.

"This is a trained hound that can smell snakes!" Xu Hei was secretly shocked.

Xu Hei has a deep understanding of this kind of hunting dog. He can smell wherever a snake passes by and can easily find the place where snakes hibernate!

However, he was hiding twenty meters underground and used bear dung to cover up the smell, so the other party would never be able to smell it.

Sure enough, the two hounds just sniffed for a moment, then looked panicked, backed away, and ducked to the other side.

The team behind them quickly moved out of the way, changed directions, and continued searching.

Xu Hei breathed a sigh of relief. In fact, even if he was discovered, there was nothing he could do from such a deep distance.

However, having such a large group of people hanging around above gave Xu Hei a headache.

"It's really troublesome. I can't hibernate peacefully."

Xu Hei complained in his heart.

Not long after, the hounds came calling, and the hunters gathered around, dug up the big stone, and found a hibernating snake from under the stone.

The snake is two meters long and is a forest rattlesnake. Its meat is edible and its venom can be used to make medicine.

The hibernating snake is cold, stiff as iron, and has no ability to move. Its head is cut off by humans, the gallbladder is dug out, the skin is skinned, and it is put into a bag.

Xu Hei witnessed the whole process and felt no emotion in his heart. He just hoped that they would leave quickly.

However, the opposite happened.

"It's getting late, let's light a fire and eat, then go down the mountain after eating." The leader shouted.

"Okay!"

Such a large group of people, instead of leaving, gathered around and piled firewood in the open space.

Xu Hei was so angry that he almost yelled, "There is no good place to eat, but here is the choice."

But at this time, he also noticed the two leaders, one was a handsome young man and the other was a fat middle-aged man.

Both of them were wearing blue and black python robes, with good temperaments and faint spiritual energy fluctuations in their bodies.

This python robe is exactly what a snake catcher wears.

"Snake catcher!"

Xu Hei's eyes flashed. There was no doubt that this was a hunting team led by a snake catcher. Every winter, they would go into the mountains to catch snakes on a large scale.

Only this time, there were too many people, there were more than thirty people.

Not only did the hunters come, but there were also some young adults and farmers who had never been to the mountains. Even Wang Daniu was also there, which was a little weird.

Everyone built a bonfire and set up iron pots.

In the iron pot, there are many pieces of snake meat cut into sections. They are all freshly caught and the meat is fresh. Mountain spring water is poured into it and steamed over high heat.

After a while, the aroma filled the air, and everyone was drinking snake soup and eating snake meat, feeling very happy.

"Humans have raised so many domestic animals and are not satisfied, so why do they still eat snakes?"

Xu Hei was resentful when he saw his kind being eaten, but he couldn't help but swallow.

He suddenly felt a little hungry.

"Brother Wang, how do you feel?"

Old Orion Li San, sitting next to Wang Daniu, asked with a smile.

Wang Daniu took a sip of the snake soup and said bitterly: "The mountains are still not suitable for me. After this trip, I'd better go home. It happens to be the New Year soon."

"Haha, go home. Your calf will definitely be outstanding in the future." Li San said with a hearty smile.

Wang Daniu hesitated for a moment and said: "Actually, I always feel that the immortals come to the mountains so frequently and summon so many people not just to catch snakes, but also to find..."

"Shh!"

Halfway through his words, he was stopped by Li San.

Li San had a solemn look on his face and said in a low voice: "Everyone knows this matter well. We can't ask more questions, and don't think blindly. Just do your duty. Anyway, you will get the money."

Wang Daniu nodded.

…………

At this moment, two snake catchers were standing at the outermost edge of the crowd. The two of them gathered together and were discussing something with a solemn face.

"Senior brother, now that the place has been found, it is useless for these people to stay, and the news may leak, so why not..."

The handsome young man's eyes flashed and he took out a purple pill.

The fat middle-aged man stopped him immediately and said in a cold voice: "Idiot, do you think you're the Si Tianjian's bastard? How could they not notice the poison?"

As a monk, the snake catcher attacks mortals arbitrarily, and Si Tianjian will not sit idly by.

"What does senior brother mean..." The handsome young man took back the elixir and asked for advice.

The fat middle-aged man snorted coldly and said proudly: "There is a blind bear here, hibernating."

The handsome young man's eyes suddenly brightened, and he clasped his fists and said, "Senior brother is smart, no wonder he chose this place, it turned out that he had already planned it."

The fat middle-aged man assumed an incomprehensible posture, holding his head high and saying nothing.

The conversation between these two people was not missed word for word, and Xu Hei heard everything.

Xu Hei's consciousness had been wary of these two people, and at this moment, he felt his scalp numb.

"If you want to kill people, can you change the place?"

He doesn't care whether humans live or die. The question is, can he hibernate peacefully?

If twenty or thirty people died, would Si Tianjian not be able to dig three feet into the ground to slay demons?

Xu Hei also knew the root cause of all this, because there was a bear demon nearby.

Before Xu Hei hibernated, he checked specifically and found that there were no traces of monsters nearby. But if he moved here after hibernating, there was nothing he could do. It was just a shame.

Bears are different from snakes. Bears are warm-blooded animals. Even if they are awakened from hibernation, they will violently kill.

"What a lousy place. Why am I so unlucky? Should I burn incense and worship a Bodhisattva?"

Xu Hei was thinking.

At this time, the young snake catcher took out a jar of fine wine and handed it to everyone.

"Fellow villagers, you have worked hard these days. This is our last time to go into the mountains. After this meal, you can go home!"

"I toast you a glass!"

Upon hearing this, the crowd cheered immediately. They couldn't wait to take the jar of wine and filled each glass.

This is the wine that immortals drink. Usually they don't even have the chance to smell it!

"Thank you, immortal, for the wine!"

"Let's drink it together!"

As the young man drank the wine, everyone drank it up.

This wine is not poisonous, it is just an ordinary spiritual wine, but it is a little stronger. After drinking it, monks will feel dizzy, let alone mortals.

"Good wine, good wine!"

"I have never drunk such good wine in my life!"

"Haha, everyone drink as much as you can, I still have it here!" The young snake catcher laughed.

Not long after, everyone was dizzy and many people fell to the ground drunk.

Just when everyone was almost drunk,

Suddenly, there were bursts of roars in the distance, and the gravel on the ground shook, as if the mountain was shaking.

Two drunkards were seen running wildly from a distance, with terrified expressions, and the trace of alcohol had long been scared away.

"Oh no, there is a monster coming, run away!"

As soon as the drunkard finished speaking, a black shadow fell from behind and beat the two men to pieces, with blood and flesh splattered everywhere.

Then, the terrifying roar of the bear monster resounded through the mountains and forests.

"Help! It's a bear monster!"

"Run away!"

The whole hunting team was completely in chaos, and everyone woke up and ran away desperately.

However, the alcohol was too strong, and everyone either hit the tree or fell to the ground, rolling and crawling. What's worse, they were still talking in their sleep and couldn't even run away.

The end is imaginable.

"Alas, someone is going to die again." Xu Heihei sighed.

Xu Hei had no good feelings towards humans. He just hoped that these people would die far away, not at the entrance of his cave, which would cause a lot of chaos.

He moved outside so that his consciousness could see farther.

At this time, the bear demon had already started killing people.

The bear demon was very fast. It rushed into the crowd and killed a large number of people with one slap. Wherever the palm wind passed, the crowd was slapped to death one by one, and blood and flesh flew everywhere. It was extremely tragic.

"Immortal, save me, save me!"

"Help! Don't abandon us!"

Screams were heard everywhere. The villagers had never seen such a monster before, and they were all scared to death.

However, the two snake catchers were well prepared and ran the fastest. Even if the handsome young man drank and was drunk, he still ran like a cheetah.

Only Li San was the most sober among the hunters.

"Immortal, you can't just watch and die!"

Li San rushed over and hugged the handsome young man's thigh, but was kicked away by the latter with disgust on his face.

"You bunch of lowly people, you caused such a big disaster, and you still have the nerve to ask for help. This is your own fault. Don't bother me!" Zhao Wenzhuo's neck was red, and he cursed angrily.

"Brother Zhao, hurry up."

The fat middle-aged man in front urged.

Zhao Wenzhuo pouted to the back, turned around and rushed ten feet, just landing near the entrance of Xu Heidong.

Li San gritted his teeth, picked up the crossbow behind him, aimed at the front, and shot an arrow.

Zhao Wenzhuo's body was on the side, and the arrow flew past him. Although it didn't hit, the storage bag on his waist was hit by the arrow and scattered, and the things inside flowed out and scattered all over the ground.

Pills, jade bottles, talismans, and two jars of spirit wine all fell down.

The spirit wine was even more clanged and smashed into pieces, and the wine flowed into the cave.

"Looking for death!"

Zhao Wenzhuo was furious. How dare a mortal attack an immortal? It was simply treasonous! But he had no time to deal with the mortal, so he could only bend down to pick up things.

He had not yet reached the middle stage of the Qi Refining Stage, and could not pick up things remotely.

"Brother, come and help me!" Zhao Wenzhuo shouted.

The fat middle-aged man was very impatient, but he still stopped and helped him pick up things. He grabbed a handful of pills and stuffed them into his storage bag.

He picked them up, but whether he would return them afterwards was another matter.

Xu Hei hid in the cave, and saw the wine flowing down the cave entrance, and some elixirs rolled into it, melting when they met water.

Xu Hei quickly dodged and stuck to the stone wall, letting the wine flow by his side.

"Who did I offend?"

Xu Hei cursed, and for a while, the whole cave was full of alcohol.

And at this moment.

Zhao Wenzhuo, who was picking up things, picked up a talisman on the ground, and suddenly pinched his palm, and spiritual energy poured into the talisman.

"What are you doing?!"

The fat middle-aged man's face changed, and he hurriedly reached for the storage bag on his waist, but he was still a step too late.

Zhao Wenzhuo held the talisman, made a gesture with his palm, and the talisman instantly burst into a burst of green light, and a fierce gust of wind erupted from it, blowing towards the fat middle-aged man.

"Ah!!"

With a scream, the fat middle-aged man was blown away, and flew straight towards the bear monster that was killing in the distance.

This sudden change made Xu He dumbfounded.
