As for Livilia, she did not join in the fun. She just watched the girls chattering around her with a hint of an auntie's smile on her face. At the same time, she also paid a little attention to Lieyan.
This guy just showed off his skills a little bit, and he made all the girls happy. If you don't look carefully, he might be a more powerful trouble than Loki...
The joyful squirrel-stroking continued for a while. After walking on a road that appeared in the forest for a while, everyone vaguely discovered something strange ahead.
Looking at the smoke and sparks rising from the sky in the distance, Livilia and Lefiya's expressions suddenly changed. Having lived in the forest for a long time, they immediately thought of a not-so-nice word.
Forest fire!
"There is a fire ahead!!"
"Lady Livilia, I'm here to help you!"
Livilia said anxiously, raising her wand and preparing to cast a spell. Lefiya did the same.
"Hey, hey, wait! No, there's no fire ahead! That's the landmark of our Yanhuo Village."
Lieyan quickly stopped the two elves from casting magic and explained with a smile,
"Landmark? Using fire as a landmark in the forest?"
Lefiya opened her eyes wide and looked like, "Are you crazy?" A serious person would be afraid of even a spark in the forest. My goodness, your fire is even rising to the sky, and you tell me this is a landmark?
"It's really a landmark. If there's such a big fire, why can't you feel any heat? Go a little further and you'll reach Yanhuo Village. You'll understand when you get there."
"Really?"
"Realer than real gold."
"Then I'll trust you this time, Lady Livilia?" Lefiya looked to the side. Livilia also put down her staff, but still couldn't help frowning.
"Let's wait and see... I don't think the flames have any reason to deceive us, but I'm sorry, using flames as landmarks in the forest is something we really don't understand."
"It's okay, it's normal. I understand your feelings."
Lieyan hurriedly said, They are elves, I can understand that, I can understand that.
After this incident, everyone lost their interest in sightseeing. Ai Si reluctantly released the squirrel, and the group quickened their pace. Soon, a village surrounded by sharpened tree trunks appeared in front of them.
"This is Yanhuo Village."
Lieyan led everyone to the huge gatehouse at the entrance of Yanhuo Village, which looked like a city gate. Finn looked at the two huge bone stakes inserted on both sides of the gatehouse and asked thoughtfully,
"Lieyan, these two at the door..."
"Oh, that's the horn of a giant golden lion. The golden lion is a very territorial and aggressive beast-like monster. With its horn as a barrier, ordinary monsters dare not approach the village."
"Then this golden lion..."
"It was hunted by the senior hunters who founded Yanhuo Village a long, long time ago. In fact, Yanhuo Village itself is the lair of this giant golden lion and its mate. Oh, and its mate's horn is also there, hanging inside."
"Zundujidu, let me go take a look!" The innocent and restless Diona immediately took two steps and ran into the gatehouse. Then there was an exclamation, "Wow! It's real! There are two big horns inside too!"
“Liehyan, you…” Finn looked up at the giant horn that was three or four times taller than his own and couldn’t help shaking his head. “This is really a constant surprise.”
Although Finn didn't know what kind of vicious creature this golden lion was, the aura emanating from its horns and the fact that just two pairs of horns could scare away monsters and keep them from being invaded, judging from these two points alone, the strength of this monster would not be weaker than that of Udaeus, the master of the thirty-seventh floor. What's more, there were actually two of these monsters together.
If this is the case, how strong would the person who defeated these two monsters and hung their horns here be?
Loki was right, this world is truly full of hidden dragons and crouching tigers.
"Is this considered a surprise? The real surprise is yet to come."
Lieyan smiled slightly and led everyone into the door.
"Now I really welcome you, everyone. Welcome to my hometown."
"Flame Village."
Chapter 9: Miss, could you please spend some time with me under the moonlight?
Walking through the gate that looked like a city tower, we arrived at a bridge painted red, and the whole picture of Yanhuo Village came into everyone's sight.
Although Yanhuo Village looks like a part of the forest from a distance, in fact, Yanhuo Village is not adjacent to the forest, but is located on an independent island, connected to the forest only by the red bridge mentioned above. The location of the outer wall is the edge of the forest. On the edge of the inner island, like the outer wall, there are sharpened tree trunks.
As for the flames and thick smoke that Livilia and Lefiya were facing, they were spewed out from the towering chimneys decorated with dragon head carvings on the tops that were distributed in every corner of the village. They were actually far away from the forest. In addition, there was a river between Yanhuo Village and the forest, so everyone could only see the smoke and sparks but did not feel any heat.
"So that's it."
After seeing the true form of the flame, the two elves who had been tense slowly relaxed. If the terrain was like this, then using the flame as a landmark would not be a bad idea.
"In fact, the landmark is only part of the function of the flame. The reason why Yanhuo Village uses flame as its landmark and is named after flame is because we are famous for our forging technology."
Seeing that the crisis was over, Lieyan breathed a sigh of relief and then explained.
"Forging skills...really good." Finn smiled. "Our clan has good relations with the Gubernui clan and the Hephaestus clan. Now we have met you. We have a strong affinity with the forging faction."
Hearing this, Lieyan smiled slightly and said nothing. At this moment, a calling voice came to Lieyan's ears in front of the red bridge.
"Hey~ Little Flame~~"
"Sister Tiantian." Lieyan replied, then looked at the people around him: "Let's go."
Everyone has their own way.
When we reached the middle of the Red Bridge, the person who had just called out to Lieyan was there. Diona, who had just run in, was also here, looking curiously at the paper umbrellas placed on the ground.
After seeing Lieyan, the umbrella merchant Tiantian unceremoniously pulled Lieyan over and whispered in his ear:
"Hey, kid, tell me the truth. Where did these people come from? Especially those girls. They look like they walked out of a painting. Could it be that you have also come to your senses? That's right. After all, you are already 27 years old."
"Uh uh, what does this have to do with anything?"
Lieyan didn't know whether to laugh or cry as he struggled to break free from the umbrella opener Tiantian's restraints: "They are from the same place as the one I brought yesterday."
"real or fake……"
"Of course it's true. I won't say any more. I'm going to take them to see the village chief."
Unable to withstand the married woman's explicit questioning, Lieyan hurriedly fled with everyone.
"Hey, wait for me!"
Diona was a little dumbfounded when she found herself left behind, and hurried to catch up with the others.
Just like that, several people ran all the way into Yanhuo Village.
"Is this Yanhuo Village..."
"It feels unexpectedly exquisite..."
"This village seems to be about the same size as our base."
"After all, Yanhuo Village is just a small village with a total population of only about a hundred people. If you insist, it is not as large as our clan."
After entering the Flame Village, Diona pulled her sister and looked around curiously, while the black cat girl stared at the compact houses in the Flame Village and was filled with emotion. Grace analyzed the size of the village from another perspective, and Lieyan responded to Grace like a tour guide, and greeted the people passing by.
At this moment, a gray shadow suddenly jumped out from the side and rushed straight towards the flames.
"enemy?!"
Bert, who had been very quiet since crossing over, suddenly had his tail blown up, and he took a fighting stance.
"Wait, Bert! This isn't an enemy!"
At the critical moment, Finn reached out to stop Burt. His lake-like blue eyes reflected the scene just now. If he saw it correctly, it should be...
"Wang Woo!"
The gray shadow pounced directly on Lieyan. Lieyan's body did not move at all, and he took the heavy blow as steady as a rock. Then, a giant dog with long limbs appeared in front of everyone.
“What a big dog!!”
Diona's eyes lit up, and Aisi and Lefiya beside her blinked at the same time. They couldn't help but follow Diona's footsteps and move forward. Only Bert was still alert. Although it was a little difficult to say, he could feel that the dog-like thing in front of him was definitely not a dog, but something more terrifying!
"It's so itchy, Onion, stop licking it. Don't worry, everyone. This is my friend, the Fanghound, Onion."
Lieyan pushed away the overly enthusiastic big dog who had not seen him for a night, and gently patted the big dog on the back. The big dog then sat down beside Lieyan obediently, looking at the people of Loki's family in front of him without blinking.
"This is really a majestic big dog..."
Looking at the Fanghound squatting beside Lieyan, who was only slightly shorter than Lieyan, Finn's eyebrows twitched slightly.
It must be said that this world is somewhat unfriendly to the dwarf race... A dog running out of the street would be taller than him...
"This isn't actually a dog. Although it's called a Fanghound, it's actually a small species of Fangbeast. It was only under the domestication of the seniors of Yanhuo Village that it gradually became our fighting partner. But it's actually okay to call it a dog."
"Onion, is it a monster?" Aisi opened her eyes wide, and then looked up and down at Onion's body, then shook her head, "I can't tell at all."
"It's normal that you can't see it. They have lived with us for generations and have become like our family. Besides the tooth hounds, there is another kind of existence that is the same. Don't you think so, Onion?" Lieyan touched Onion's dog head, and Onion gave a polite bark to show his agreement.
"Uh, Lieyan, I want to ask, the other existence you mentioned, could it be, this..." Lieyan was still interacting with the dog, but Finn, opposite him, showed a helpless expression.
"...?"
Following Finn's finger, Lieyan slowly turned his head, and then... he saw a cow cat standing up, almost as tall as Finn, holding a rose in its mouth, holding the hand of the black-haired cat girl Angie like a gentleman, with great affection,
"Miss, can you spend some time with me under the moonlight? I can cook for you, and I also have Polygonum multiflorum and dried fish~"
Lieyan: "..."
Chapter 10: But you are a female cat!
"You are in Gan Shenmo?!"
Seeing the cow cat's actions, Lieyan's breathing suddenly stagnated, and he quickly strode forward and grabbed the back of the neck of this rebellious child.
"Let me go meow, meow, I fell in love at first sight, meow wants to marry this beautiful lady meow!"
"You are a cat, and Miss Anqi is a human. Nothing good will come of you! Sorry, Miss Anqi, I didn't discipline my rebellious son well enough, and I made you look bad..."
"Uh, I'm fine, just a little surprised..."
"Don't bother meow, a virgin hunter who has been single for more than 20 years and still doesn't want to get married! How can someone like you understand how meow feels right now, meow!"
The cow cat struggled desperately, and in desperation, Lieyan had to use his winning magic weapon.
"But you are a she-cat!"

In the air, there was an inexplicable petrifying sound. Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and found that the cat, whose neck was pinched by the flames, was stiff and colorless, as if it had heard some shocking news. Then, a cloud of unknown mist floated out of its mouth, and it fainted...
"What exactly is going on here? Can you explain it a little bit?"
