Gu Immortal, Gu Gu Gu Gu Gu Gu

Last time, the Yuanquan and the cave night wasps in the cave were gone. Ye Tianyu originally thought that there was a mistake in the travel notes. However, he found traces of white wormwood picked around the cold pond, and the smell of white wormwood had not yet dissipated in the cave.

He even found what looked like a hornet's nest, but the nest was gone.

All the circumstances indicate that there is nothing wrong with the travel notes of the Ye family's ancestor, but this opportunity was taken away by someone.

He had always been puzzled as to who it was, but this time when he heard about the situation of a small team of the advance team, he had a vague guess that the cave night wasp in the cave could have been obtained by Li Changsheng?

Moreover, this thought became stronger and stronger. Ye Tianyu went to inquire about it in detail. He even went to take a look at the lightning wolf skins purchased by others and found some places that seemed to have been stung by wasps. Apart from the entire lightning wolf skin, there were no other scars.

Ye Tianyu kept this matter in his heart. He planned to confirm it when he had the chance if the Yuanquan and the wasp were obtained by Li Changsheng.

As the young master of Huoyun Valley, he couldn't stand this kind of silence.

It’s strange to say, ever since Li Changsheng and his team repelled the Lightning Wolf Gu that night, there has been no trace of the Lightning Wolf Gu around the camp.

They will also take the camp as the center, look around and try to keep a distance from other teams.

However, while other teams were frequently attacked by wolves, only their team, even though they were at the front, did not notice any problems.

This made Li Changsheng feel a little amused and helpless. Could it be that this Lightning Wolf Gu also bullies the weak and fears the strong?

So they planned to find a village ahead, stay there for a few days, eliminate the ferocious beasts nearby, wait for other teams, and then go to the wilderness.

Anyway, according to past practices, usually at the end of the year when the mountains are blocked by heavy snow, the ferocious beasts will become extremely hungry and thirsty and will come down the mountain in large numbers, resulting in a beast tide.

It's not late autumn yet, so there's plenty of time.

One day, Li Changsheng and his companions saw a village on the roadside. On one side was a somewhat deserted official road, and on the other side was this village.

There are three ginkgo trees at the entrance of the village. At this time of year, the ginkgo trees are covered with golden leaves, which are extremely spectacular.

These ginkgo trees are very thick, and it takes two or three people holding hands to hug them. The treetops are towering into the sky, and the three trees are in the shape of a Chinese character "品". Because of their lush branches and leaves, they are very lush and look like a large golden forest from a distance.

When Li Changsheng and his companions approached the three trees, they saw a large reddish-brown stone at the entrance of the village with the words "Three Trees Village" written on it.

Three trees?

Li Changsheng felt that the place looked familiar, as if he had heard the name somewhere before, but he suddenly couldn't remember it. When they entered the village, they found that the houses in the village were mainly made of stone and built in an orderly manner. There was a stone road in the middle, and on both sides were houses with two or three stone rooms and small courtyards.

Although the houses don't look very tall, the stones are extremely solid, and it can be seen that these houses are quite old.

Chang Xiao went straight to find the village guard here. Soon, a second-level Gu Master came hurriedly to greet them. He was a man in his thirties or forties who called himself Wang Jinqu.

This Sankeshu Village is different from Xiaohe Village. In Xiaohe Village, there is only one village guard who is a Gu Master, but this village actually has four or five first-level Gu Masters and one second-level Gu Master. There are about three to four hundred people living in the village. Although it is not a particularly large number, it is the largest village that Li Changsheng and his companions have seen along the way.

Li Changsheng and his companions were taken to the highest place in the village. Wang Jinqu said it was the village's ancestral hall, and also the most central place in the village. There was also a ginkgo tree there. It looked like the tree had a history of thousands of years and was bigger than the three trees at the entrance of the village.

"We have been in this village for many years. I was born and raised here. I used to travel outside, but later on, because my parents were old and had no one to take care of them, I had to come back. I found that the situation here was not good. There have been fewer people traveling on the official road in recent years. This is because there are always many ferocious beasts running out of the wild beast tide every year. The number of ferocious beasts that escape the net is increasing, so that some of the surrounding villages can no longer be lived in!"

Wang Jinqu is from Sankeshu Village. When he was talking to Li Changsheng and the others, he kept sighing.

It turns out that this Three Trees Village has been around for many years. It is said that the ginkgo tree in the center of the village was a ginkgo branch planted by a 9th level Gu Immortal who passed by here thousands of years ago.

Later, someone dug a well under the ginkgo tree, and this place gradually became populated.

Finally, someone planted three ginkgo trees at the entrance of the village. Gradually, people on the road used the three ginkgo trees as a landmark, and this place was called the Three Trees Village.

There used to be many villages near this village, but in recent years many villages have been attacked by ferocious beasts from time to time, and most of the village defenders are not very strong.

Occasionally, if we encounter some first-level ferocious beasts, we can still think of ways to deal with them, but in recent years, more and more second-level ferocious beasts have escaped from the wilderness, especially the Lightning Wolf Gu and the Long-Armed Stone Monkey Gu.

These ferocious beasts would attack the villagers at any time, so that the people here could not survive. Finally, some small villages had to relocate and gather together. Now the Three Trees Village is four or five small villages nearby. The Gu Masters here gathered together and could barely make those ferocious beasts afraid and they dared not enter the village at will.

The people gathered in this village did not dare to go far away. They only dared to grow some grains, fruits and vegetables in the village to barely make ends meet, but life was very difficult.

"Your village is close to the official road, but life is so hard?"

In Li Changsheng's memory, villages close to official roads are generally relatively prosperous, because villagers can do some business along the roadside, and provide some supplies to travelers and caravans in exchange for money or other things, so life should still be easy.

But I didn’t expect that life in Sankeshu Village was so difficult?

"There are no people on this official road now. There used to be some caravans, but in the past two years, caravans have been in trouble frequently. Businessmen always lose money, so naturally they don't come anymore. Without people coming and going, our villagers don't even dare to go up the mountain to dig for herbs. Tell me, how can this village not be miserable?"

Wang Jinqu smiled bitterly, feeling helpless.

This made Li Changsheng feel uncomfortable. He used to be in the capital, where he saw everything going on and on. He never imagined that the common people in this wild land would live such a hard life.

"By the way, there are five Gu Masters in the village including me. I will tell you where the ferocious beasts are around the village. If you need us to lead the way, just let me know..."

Wang Jinqu was very welcoming to Li Changsheng and others.

After all, they were here to exterminate the ferocious beasts, which was a great joyous event for the Three Trees Village. However, Li Changsheng could immediately tell that there was something wrong with the few Gu Masters he called in.
