The giant beast also seemed to know something was wrong, roared loudly, and spewed out a gust of icy cold wind from its mouth.

The arrows flying head-on were blown by the wind, not only staggered, but also instantly covered with a layer of crystal black ice, falling down one after another before touching the giant beast's body.

As for the heavier spears and the like, although they were pierced into the huge body of the giant beast, their lethality was greatly reduced by the gust of wind, and they barely caused some skin trauma, which stimulated the beast to become even more violent.

I saw that the four eyes of this beast suddenly flashed with blood under the rage, and there was a "bang", some bristles on the neck stood on end one by one, looking extremely terrifying.

When Han Li saw the scenery on the roof, he was taken aback for a moment. Before he understood the beast's intention, he saw the giant beast lowered its head, and its bristling hair instantly turned into countless black lights, shooting towards the stone wall.

The people on the wall seemed to have known this beast had this trick for a long time. Although everyone looked nervous, they still shouted and erected all kinds of large shields in their hands neatly.

The sound of "cracking, crackling, crackling" came from the shield like a shower.

Although the black light penetrated several inches deep into the shield, most of it was finally blocked. But there are also some people who neglected to protect themselves, they were directly passed by the black light, and immediately turned over and fell down the stone wall, not knowing whether they were alive or dead.

The others had no time to worry about the lives and deaths of these people, but under the loud order of one person, another batch of spears and arrows were shot out in large swaths, but most of them were also blown away by the wind of the giant beast. However, this beast seems to only have the hard hair on the neck, which can be shot out. Although the back is pierced and screaming, it is just struggling desperately to get up, and there is no way to fight back. But Ziwu's tentacles were firmly trapped on his feet, and he didn't relax for a moment.

After repeating five or six long-range attacks in this way, the evil wind in the mouth of the giant beast finally diminished rapidly, and it no longer had the original power.

At this time, the bows, arrows and spears on the stone wall suddenly became more frequent, piercing the giant beast's body densely, like a hedgehog.

In this situation, the beast didn't seem to be seriously injured, and it still kept roaring in high spirits. It kept waving the huge black stick in its hand, smashing the nearby ground into potholes.

Seeing this, Han Li couldn't help feeling a little startled by the beast's rough skin and thick flesh and strength.

The people in the village seemed to have their own way to deal with this beast. Immediately, a group of strong and burly men rushed up to the stone wall. They didn't carry any weapons except a few giant spears three to four feet long under their ribs.

As soon as these people reached the top of the wall, they raised their spears one after another, made a little gesture, aimed at the huge body of the giant beast, and threw them fiercely.

The sound of "whoosh" and "whoosh" pierced the air, and Han Li behind heard his expression change slightly.

These people are not weak in internal strength, throwing these huge spears like grass, they are extremely easy to throw, and their force is as fierce as a strong crossbow.

Immediately, bloody flowers the size of a bowl bloomed all over the giant beast's body, and every single giant spear was inserted into the beast's body, nailing it alive to the ground, and the original ferocious flame disappeared instantly. .

There was loud cheers on the stone wall, and everyone showed relief. The purple mist wrapped around the giant beast's feet finally dissipated at this time.

Some excitedly lowered the wooden door, those with swords in hand prepared to go out and kill the beast, while others began to help their injured companions.

But before the wooden door was completely lowered, the giant beast that had bowed its head suddenly raised its head to the sky and roared, and then swung its arm vigorously, and threw the huge stick more than ten meters in its hand violently.

The giant stick flew into the sky far away, and flew straight down to the center of the village, with an astonishing momentum.

Those below were women and children who rushed out happily when they saw the giant beast was about to die. Seeing that seven or eight villagers were about to be smashed into meat paste, the expressions of the others changed greatly and they exclaimed.

At this moment, a figure flashed and shot straight at the falling giant tree. After a low growl, the person waved his hands and hit the middle part of the giant stick hard.

There was a loud noise, and Heimu flew out obliquely and landed on an empty space with no one there.

The man landed lightly on the ground, his movements graceful and unrestrained. It was the somewhat sinister white-faced middle-aged man.

The rescued male and female villagers breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately surrounded this person with grateful faces, expressing their thanks repeatedly. But the man just waved his hand indifferently and returned to his original position.

However, a strange look flashed across Han Li's face, because the man inadvertently gave him a cold look after saving someone. Although he didn't know what he meant, it was obvious that he was not pleasing to the eye.

Han Li frowned, and while he was still trying to figure out what was wrong, the wooden door had already been lowered, and dozens of young and strong men rushed out of the village, killing the giant beast that was already seriously injured.

But these people didn't give up yet. Someone split the giant beast's head with a long white knife, and after a while of bloody groping, suddenly raised one hand, and there was a green spar the size of a thumb in his hand. The person shouted in surprise, and after a commotion among the bystanders nearby, they also became elated.

Seeing this scene, Han Li blinked his eyes, and suddenly felt that the green spar seemed familiar, as if he had seen it there before. He lowered his head in doubt and thought for a while, and after a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, he suddenly remembered.

In the inner hall of Xutian Temple, among all the puppets he got, there seemed to be such a similar green spar. Could it be the same thing? Han Li muttered a little!

However, after Han Li looked at it for a while, he jumped out of the stone house without saying a word.

The fat old man and several other elders had already re-entered the hall. He still had a lot of questions and wanted to ask them clearly.

Seeing Han Li returning to the hall, Mei Ning walked in with her head down. After seeing the giant beast battle just now, she seemed to know the danger here, with a trace of sadness on her face.

When Han Li walked in, the old man and several other elders all sat back in their original seats.

Seeing Han Li walking in, the old man smiled, and when he was about to say something, a tall and strong man walked in quickly, holding the green spar in his hand.

"Great Elder! This is the Netherworld Beast Crystal in the cunning head. Please take a look at it." The strong man put the crystal stone on the stone table in front of the old man, and said respectfully.

"This time, you have worked hard again. Taking advantage of the eruption of the spirit, Xin Shi and the others brought back some fish and shrimp. After a while, everyone will get some more, which is considered a tribute." Seeing this spar, the old man was very happy Said.

"Thanks to the elders!" The strong man suddenly showed a look of surprise, and he left the hall with this order contentedly.

Han Li stayed aside, watching coldly.

"The monsters you two saw just now are the cunning yin beasts that are unique to this place. You must have been surprised! Although this yin and yin land is only a hundred miles in size, there are monsters, humans, and all kinds of monsters living in it. All kinds of ghost beasts." The old man carefully put the green spar into his arms, then turned his head and said to Han Li seriously.

"There are still monsters here?" Han Li was a little surprised.

"Of course, whenever the space here is torn, no matter what monks or monsters, they will treat them equally and will not let them go." The old man showed a wry smile, but continued to speak after a pause.

"Wicked beasts are here, and they can't use black magic either. But their body has been tempered and forged so powerful that we humans and ghost beasts can't provoke them. Fortunately, they usually only guard in a few fixed places. Beasts are food, they never go out easily, and they are not a big threat to us humans. But these Yin beasts are different. They were born on their own with the Yin spirit here, and they naturally like to devour human flesh and blood. Almost every once in a while, powerful yin beasts will come to human villages. Although most of them will be repelled by the people in the village, occasionally smaller villages will be destroyed and the entire village will be swallowed up. On the contrary, we killed such a cunning beast today, but not long after, the same one was reborn from the place where the yin qi condensed. These yin beasts are simply inexhaustible."

"According to what your Excellency said, there is not only one human village here, but are there other places?" Han Li was silent for a while, and asked slowly.

"Of course there are, although there are not too many, but there are also about seven or eight places, distributed throughout the land of darkness. Because the food here is very scarce, except for a few limited pieces of land that can be used to grow some edible coarse grains, the rest of the ground Because the yin energy is too heavy, no grass can grow at all. And most of the yin beasts here are highly poisonous in their bodies. Although the stomachs of those monsters don’t care about these things, we humans can stick to them and die! Except for a few special species In addition, even if the rest of the ghost beasts are killed, we cannot eat them. The combination of these harsh conditions determines that the number of human beings surviving is fixed. Everyone, if they want to survive here, they must do If you are a useful person, otherwise you will have to drive him out of the village and let him fend for himself!" When the old man said the following words, his tone became a little cold.
