On this day, Thousand-Hands Haoyun was reading a book at home.
"Peng Peng!"
"Who is it?" Hao Yun asked.
" Young Master Haoyun, it's me," the servant outside answered.
" Come in." Hao Yun looked at the attendant who entered the room and asked,""What's the matter?"
" Young Master Hao Yun, there are a few people outside the clan. They say they are your companions and have something to talk to you about," the attendant replied.
"Companion? Was it Yuan Qiu and the others? "Go out and tell them that I'll be out soon. Tell them to wait a moment," Hao Yun instructed the waiter.
" Yes, Young Master. Then I'll take my leave first." The attendant bowed respectfully and then slowly left to handle some matters.
After the waiter left, Hao Yun began to tidy up the study room. After tidying it up, he walked out.
"Why are you here? Was it a mission? Aren't we going to rest for a while?”Haoyun asked when he saw Satoshi Uchiha and the other two.
" It's like this." Satoshi Uchiha began to explain the sequence of events to Haoyun." There's a village in the Country of Fire near the Country of Thunder. A strange thing happened there recently. According to the person who issued the mission,'We've been living there since a hundred years ago. Our ancestors have been living well and nothing has happened. But recently, strange things have started to happen. First, the chickens, ducks, and other livestock at home are restless. The dog at home barks day and night. Then, there were strange sounds at night that made the villagers unable to sleep well. The animals in the nearby mountains gradually disappeared and a series of strange things happened. We were all very afraid, so we came to Muye to issue this mission."
" Wait," Hao Yun interrupted Zhi." According to what you said, there should be ferocious beasts nearby, right?"
" Yes, Lord Naruto also made the same judgment." Satoshi Uchiha didn't mind Haoyun interrupting him." Thus, this mission was temporarily designated as an A-rank mission."
"Why are we doing this mission? We should still be resting, right?”Hao Yun asked.
" Because Koba has been too busy recently, the village can't spare any manpower, so Lord Naruto thought of us who were on vacation and gave us this mission," Uchiha Satoshi explained the reason why the Great Cloud Class accepted the mission.
"So you're ready?”Hao Yun looked at Xiri Yuanqiu and the other two.
" Yes, we're ready to set off. We're just waiting for you," Evening Sun Autumn said from behind.
" Alright, you guys wait here for a while. I'll go pack my things. I'll be right out." Hao Yun quickly entered his room and started preparing.
" Alright, let's go." After checking a few times and making sure that nothing was missing, they set off together.
Tufang Village
The few of them who traveled day and night quickly arrived at Earthside Village. After entering the village, Hao Yun began to collect information and began to ask the villagers one by one.
In the end, he didn't get any useful information, but he got the latest situation of the nearby mountains from the hunters.
According to the hunter, there were no living creatures on the mountain now. The mountain was so quiet that it was terrifying. People did not dare to run up the mountain anymore.
Hao Yun and the others, who had received the information, began to climb the mountain to see if they could find any clues.
In the end, they saw exactly the same thing as the hunter when they went up the mountain. They didn't find anything at all.
"What's going on? As the saying goes,'wild geese leave a shadow when they pass by, and people leave a mark when they pass by.' Now, the animals on the mountain are all gone. They must have been preyed on by ferocious beasts, but why are there no traces at all?”The few of them returned to the village and started a discussion. Uchiha Haruko asked.
" No, it doesn't mean that it was definitely done by a ferocious beast. There are no traces left behind. This is very likely man-made," Haoyun refuted Haruko's words.
"Then what motive is there? Is this a prank?" Haruko asked Hao Yun.
"Tsk, who knows? Perhaps the village had offended someone in the past? Perhaps he was bored? The reason isn't important. We just need to settle the matter. Moreover, it might have been done by a beast with special abilities.”Hao Yun analyzed the information.
"Anything is possible. Didn't you say nothing? In other words, everything we did today was in vain?”，Haruko was a little angry. She had been busy all day without any gains.
" No, we still have some gains. The animals on the mountain are gone. If it's really a beast, it must have come down to the village. If it's not a beast, the criminal must have some ulterior motive. We'll stay in the village for a few days and investigate the matter clearly," Haoyun concluded from the information and then looked at Uchiha.
" Alright, we'll stay in the village for a few days." Satoshi Uchiha agreed with Haoyun's analysis and made a decision.
night
Hao Yun and the others stayed in the village chief's house. They rested well during the day and recovered their spirits. The few of them sat in the room and waited. The room was very quiet. There was no sound at all.
In the middle of the night, the village chief's dog suddenly seemed to have been stimulated and began to bark violently. After a while, a strange sound came from the village entrance. It was so dark that it made people feel fear from the bottom of their hearts.
" Are you here?" Hao Yun and the others 'eyes lit up. They quickly opened the door and rushed towards the source of the sound.
When everyone arrived at the village entrance, they realized that the village entrance was already filled with fog. They could not see a few meters away.
At this moment, a few families at the top of the village screamed. Hao Yun and the others immediately rushed to the place where the screams came from. In the end, they were too late. Only the corpses of the villagers were left at the scene. There was nothing else. The fog was slowly dissipating.
" What's that?" Seeing that the fog was about to dissipate, Uchiha Haruko looked at the entrance of the village and saw a little white.
Haruko's cry alarmed Hao Yun and the others, and they immediately looked in the direction Haruko was looking at.
" Fire Escape-Fire Dragon Flame Bullet!"
" Fire Escape-Fire Dragon Flame Bullet!"
The white Haoyun and Uchiha Satoshi quickly formed a seal and released a powerful fire escape in that direction. Then, they saw that the fire escape was swallowed by the fog and did not have any effect.
Hao Yun frowned, then turned around to examine the dead villager's body.
" No external injuries, but his Mentality is gone," Hao Yun concluded after checking." His Mentality shouldn't have disappeared so quickly. It must have been devoured by that thing," Hao Yun, who also had the Devouring Mentality Illusion, said with certainty.
" Let's set up a barrier. Otherwise, we won't be able to catch that thing," Hao Yun suggested.
" Alright, we'll set up a barrier in the village. If that thing comes again today, we'll trap it to death." Satoshi Uchiha nodded. He agreed to this plan.
