Lin Xuan looked into the distance and suddenly had a bad feeling.
His lair was not far away. If he did not figure out what the situation was, he would not even know if there was danger ahead.
A large pool of fresh blood appeared on the ground, and at the same time, there were many footprints, some of demon beasts and some of humans. The footprints were messy, but it seemed that there were a lot of them.
Lin Xuan didn't dare to let his guard down when he heard footsteps approaching. He quickly hid in the grass.
A horse-shaped creature rushed over, and the silver horn on its head shone brightly under the sun. It was like a fine piece of art, and at the same time, it became a guiding light for some people.
It was a Tier 2 demonic beast, the Silver-horned Windstorm Horse. It was famous for its speed and the horn on its head.
"Swish!"
Before Lin Xuan could react, an arrow flew through the air and hit the back of the Silver-horned Windstorm Horse. Blood gushed out immediately. The Storm Horse let out a sad cry and gradually slowed down.
He frowned. It was actually a cold weapon. It seemed that it was indeed a human.
"I just saw this horse running this way. It's quite fast."
"Old Li, your accuracy isn't good. The Windstorm Horse didn't fall."
"Don't worry, it won't be able to run away."
The sounds of conversation from not too far away reached Lin Xuan's ears, followed by a sharp and hurried whistle.
"Woof! Woof! Woof!"
From the grass nearby, a few hounds that were half the height of a man jumped out. They were strong and bared their fangs. Their two sharp fangs were even protruding out, and they looked extremely difficult to deal with.
A few hounds outflanked the injured Windstorm horse and gradually caught up with it. Smelling the blood, the hounds 'eyes turned Scarlet and they looked even more brutal as they swarmed forward.
Although the Windstorm Horse was fast, it was injured and attacked from the front and back. It dodged the first one, but it didn't expect that it would jump out from the corner. Soon, it had several deep wounds on its body.
The hounds did not give it any time to catch its breath. They all attacked, tearing off a large piece of its skin and flesh, destroying its originally flawless fur.
Only the creepy sound of chewing could be heard.
The wrinkles between Lin Xuan's brows could squeeze a mosquito to death.
These hounds were obviously unusual, and even the shadow of demonic beasts could be seen on them. Who were those people who could actually raise such creatures?
All sorts of doubts lingered in Lin Xuan's mind.
"Old Li, why did you let them out? great, now their fur is all ruined. They're completely useless."
"We only need the horn of the Windstorm Horse anyway. So what if the fur is destroyed?"
"Although that's what you say, it can still be sold for quite a bit of money."
Three people walked over slowly. They were dressed in strange clothes, like hunters in the mountains. One of them carried a bow and arrow on his back, while the other two held cold weapons in their hands.
Lin Xuan couldn't help but recall the legend of the coastal forest, that there were savages in the mountains. Could it be that they were talking about these people?
It could be seen that they were also capable. Otherwise, not only could they enter and leave freely, but they could also hunt fierce beasts and even raise such fierce hounds.
However, Lin Xuan was a little suspicious. They seemed to be organized and premeditated. Now that the world was only in the early stages of beastification, there should not be many people who knew about the existence of demonic beasts, let alone killing them.
The few of them dragged the Silver-horned Windstorm Horse away. In order to understand the logic behind it, Lin Xuan followed behind carefully.
His body was small and unremarkable, and with the cover of the grass, no matter how sharp they were, they didn't notice the little tail behind them.
However, the hounds seemed to have noticed something and sniffed around, making Lin Xuan a little worried.
Another urgent whistle sounded, as if urging them to hurry up. In the end, the few hounds gave up on the search and quickly caught up with the front.
Soon, Lin Xuan followed them to a large open space and was stunned.
The scene in front of him was shocking. There was a large amount of blood, and the corpses of demonic beasts and animals.
All of them were large animals like Tigers, Wolves, Bears, or demonic beasts like the Silver-horned Windstorm horse. Although they were not very lethal, they were very pleasing to the eye.
What were these people trying to do?
The captain is going to celebrate that person's birthday, but they only need to move their lips. It's hard on us, running around everywhere to find these animals and demon beasts.
"You don't have to complain anymore. We're born to work hard. If we can't finish by tonight, we'll be in for a good time. Check if we've collected anything. Don't make any mistakes and blame us."
From their conversation, it seemed that there was an important person who was celebrating his birthday, so he hunted these precious animals and demon beasts.
Lin Xuan couldn't help but think.
These people's breathing was steady and strong, their steps were steady, and their temples were bulging. Even though they were carrying so many demon beasts and animals, they were not out of breath. Moreover, to be able to enter and exit the coastal forest, they must be quite capable.
He couldn't help but think of a post he had read in his previous life. It said that he had seen someone flying on roofs and vaulting over walls, and fighting wild beasts with his bare hands. There were various rumors on the internet previously, saying that there were capable people.
He had always thought that it was just a rumor, but now it seemed that it might really be true.
After all, even something like beastification had appeared. What else was impossible? Perhaps there were still many unknown secrets and domains in this world waiting to be discovered.
"Eh, there aren't enough turtles. We're still missing a few. The captain said that the city lord needs a large number of turtles. I'm afraid we can't fulfill our mission with this small number."
Hearing this, Lin Xuan's thoughts were pulled back to reality and his heart skipped a beat.
Only then did he notice that there were turtle-like creatures in the corner.
