Let's walk this night together! But if you are not a human, this knife in my hand will see the blood of monsters tonight!"

The last two sentences were almost said through gritted teeth.

In a daze, I felt a bit like the people in the village elders' stories about those people who not only were not afraid of evil spirits but dared to fight them after encountering evil spirits at night.

"..."

The man hesitated for a moment and finally stepped forward.

Now I finally saw clearly that he was a short middle-aged man with three beards, holding a rein in his hand and leading a mule behind him.

"My name is Yao San, and I live right in front."

"What are you..."

Lin Jue asked while looking at him warily.

"The inkstone produced at home was carried to the caravans today. They took it to Jiangnan, the capital, to sell it, but they were left to drink a few glasses of wine. Coupled with the rain, they were all on the road at night." The man regretted, "

If I had known that I would encounter a monster, I would rather go back the same way!"

"I see."

Lin Jue looked at the mule he was holding again.

"What about you? Where are you going?"

"I'm going to Qiyun Mountain."

"Where is Qiyun Mountain?"

"I haven't been there either, it's said to be in the north."

"Why are you walking alone at night?"

"Aren't you alone too?"

Lin Jue turned to look at him. This was what made him most suspicious of this person so far.

"Why am I walking alone? I have long heard that some people have encountered monsters on the road here. When I was still at the tea shed over there, I waited for a few local businessmen to walk together. Unexpectedly, halfway through, I didn't know why.

There was a dark wind, and when I looked again, I was alone, and then I met the monster. At first he pretended to be a human, chatting with me about the visitor, and even the price of the inkstone."

As Yao San spoke, he quietly looked at Lin Jue.

There was a hint of worry in his eyes.

"I see……"

Lin Jue nodded, probably accepting.

This man's words were correct, plus he knew about the tea shed and had brought a mule. At least among the stories about monsters told by village elders, it was rare to hear that monsters could transform into mules and horses. Generally,

They can only change within limited range and conditions.

If you have this ability, you are considered powerful.

"Then let's go."

In any case, staying on this deserted mountain road at this night is not a good choice. We have to leave after all.

So the two of them walked forward, one behind the other.

The sound of mules' hooves behind me was clear, and sometimes there was a snort.

"Oh, why do you also encounter monsters, and I also encounter monsters? How many monsters are there on this road?" Yao San sighed and complained.

"Are there many monsters encountered on this road?"

"It's not too much, it's not too much. I am a picker of stones and inkstones in the countryside. How can I know many people?" Yao San said with a trembling voice, "I only hear about this kind of thing occasionally."

"What about the monster?"

"I don't know either. It's hard to say. I just haven't heard of anyone being eaten by a monster on this road. The monster doesn't seem to eat people, it just scares people on the road, and it's all at night." Yao San said.

He was still a little scared when he said, "I don't know what kind of monster it is. When I first met it, I was a little suspicious, but it chatted with me. Not only did it know the situation of the surrounding villages very well, but it also knew everything about pen, ink, paper, and inkstone."

Everyone knew who was leading the caravan along the trade route, so I let down my guard."

"Don't eat people, just scare them?"

"Yes. But then again, this road is also an important commercial route nearby. If there is a monster that eats people, even if it is only at night, the government will have to find a way to deal with it."

"That makes sense."

"Excuse me...please help me lead the mule, little brother."

"Why?"

"I...I need to pee urgently."

Yao San had an expression and tone that was hard to say, as if he wanted to pee in his pants.

"..."

Lin Jue took the reins and pulled the mule.

Soon there was the sound of water being discharged around me.

There was also the sound of Yao San finally breathing a sigh of relief.

"Brother Xiaolin, did you just see what that monster looks like?"

"It was too dark, so I could only get a rough look."

"Do you have fangs?"

"some."

"Can it have claws?"

"It seems so."

"is that so?"

Yao San raised his legs and put his feet on the tree beside the road. He suddenly turned his head to face Lin Jue. Unexpectedly, his appearance had changed. He had a fierce face, a long mouth, intertwined fangs, and green eyes, making him look like a monster.

"hiss!"

Lin Jue couldn't help being shocked again.

When the monster saw this, he immediately grinned.

"hey-hey……"

Walking in the deserted mountains at night, there was actually snickering.

At the same time——

"Canopy..."

A cloud of smoke exploded in front of me.

Lin Jue was stunned for a moment, and instinctively wanted to step back, but as soon as he took half a step back, he took a step back.

"You piece of shit!!"

In order to be on guard against monsters, he had been deliberately suppressing the anger in his heart. It was hard to tell whether this anger was real or fake, but when it came to his head, it still directed at people.

"Come again!"

Lin Jue was so shocked that he became angry, staring and gritting his teeth.

"brush!"

One hand suddenly stretched out!

Through the demonic mist!

Before the monster could leave, he was grabbed by the collar.

His knuckles turned white from exertion.
