Chapter 1: What is Daddy thinking?
As the sun set, on the tower of Dingfeng Town, Pan Long was walking around anxiously, looking far away from time to north.
Sixteen years after traveling into this world, he was so nervous and anxious for the first time.
"Daddy, Daddy, you must come back safely!"
Seeing that he was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, Han Ting, the captain of the North Gate, persuaded: "Ah Long, don't worry, Brother Zhuang Wu is the number one master in our Dingfeng Town, and he can crack tigers and leopards and crush rocks in his palms." It has not been once that he has led a team to hunt demons over the years, and every time it has been a success, and this time it will definitely be the same. ”
Han Men Lieutenant's son, his little Han Feng also nodded again and again: "Yes, Ah Long, you are simply scaring yourself." How can there be any powerful demon beasts around our Dingfeng Town? Uncle Han will definitely be fine!"
Pan Long smiled reluctantly and did not answer, but his heart was still anxious.
Daddy's skills, he knows. As Han Men Wei said, ordinary demon beasts definitely can't threaten the number one master of Dingfeng Town, "Iron Palm Pan Zhuangwu". But that refers to the fact that Daddy is in good health, but ...... Daddy suffered internal injuries before going out this time!
Half a month ago, my father suddenly said that he had something urgent to go out, and he came back in a hurry a few days ago, and as soon as he came back, he hid in a quiet room to heal. In the past few days, I have been drinking almost as porridge with decoction to maintain my internal organs, and the severity of my injuries is worrying.
In this case, he still had to lead the team to hunt demons, which naturally made Pan Long very worried.
In terms of martial arts common sense, people who have suffered serious internal injuries often need to recuperate for a long time. Not to mention fighting demon beasts, even if you practice martial arts every day, you have to stop. Wait until the internal injury has recovered to six or seven percent, and then start to do recovery exercises. As for fighting or something, unless it is a last resort, you must try your best to avoid it no matter what.
Dad must know more about these truths than him. But why didn't you listen to his advice and insist on going demon hunting?
Could it be that this is the stubbornness of the old man?
"Alas, how can a man in his early forties be as stubborn as an old man!"
He sighed in his heart, but he couldn't say these words—his father had told him that his injuries must be kept secret, and no one could tell them.
As a human being in two lives, his experience is naturally much stronger than that of ordinary teenagers, and his father said it so seriously, he can more or less guess the reason.
As the number one master in Dingfeng Town, Pan Lei and Pan Zhuangwu will inevitably have situations where they need to show their martial arts. His internal injuries are not light, and it is unlikely that he wants to hide it all the time. On the contrary, this demon hunt can take the opportunity to get injured. After returning, he can use this injury to recuperate and avoid revealing what he has been injured before.
To put it bluntly, Daddy Pan Lei is going to play such a scene to hide his injury.
There is nothing wrong with this plan, but the question is, why did Daddy hide his previous injury?
Ever since the demon hunter's team set off, Pan Long had been thinking about this issue.
Dingfeng Town is not large, with more than 1,000 households and a population of more than 10,000. As the first master of Dingfeng Town, Dad has an official position, and there are many officials and martial arts masters in the family, which can be called a local hero. Not to mention the Zhencheng Town Lieutenant appointed by Bei'anbo, even if the imperial court's Beidi Patrol Envoy has to respect him a little, he can be regarded as a figure with a head and face in the entire Bei'an County. With the identity of their family, as long as they don't cause trouble, they basically won't have any trouble.
A family like theirs, as long as they are not stubborn and go with the flow, they can always be safe and healthy. Unless they encounter those great troubles once in hundreds of years, no matter whether they are officials or bandits, they will not come to them for trouble.
But why is Daddy so nervous that he even takes the risk to hide his injury?
Is he going to hide from anyone?
Obviously, these questions can only be answered from Daddy when he returns.
But...... Will Daddy be able to come back safely?
That's what he's most worried about right now.
Dingfeng Town is located in the north of Yongzhou, although it has not crossed the Jincheng defense line and has not really gone deep into the Great Wilderness, but it is already a real border of Kyushu. Legend has it that a huge monster as terrifying as a mountain has never appeared, but a dangerous monster that can easily kill a group of hunters or even fight against an army has appeared more than once.
Among those demon beasts, the powerful ones can tear through the sturdy armor, and the fast ones can kill several people in the blink of an eye, and they are not the most terrifying, the really terrifying ones are some particularly weird demons. They don't look very remarkable, but they have strange abilities, which make people get hit and die a blur before they know it.
About twenty years ago, Dingrao Town, two hundred miles to the west, encountered such a strange monster. In just one month, more than 800 people died in Dingrao Town, and hundreds of people died in the night with the most deaths!
The huge town of Dingrao was so disturbed by it that everyone was in danger, and the entire town almost completely collapsed. In the end, an expert who had been in a hundred battles and even entered the Great Wilderness to hunt demons many times was transferred from the Jincheng defense line to kill him.
At that time, the demon hunting expert gathered more than a dozen masters to help, and the young Pan Lei was among them. Over the years, Pan Lei has told his son more than once about the scene at that time, and every time he seems to have palpitations.
Even if there were demon hunting experts leading the team, nearly half of the more than ten masters were killed or injured, and in the end, there were only three people who were able to have all their beards and tails without any serious injuries.
Pan Lei was lucky enough to be one of the three, but that terrible night still left a deep scar in his heart.
Pan Long has never experienced such a battle, but he comes from the world of science and technology with advanced information, and he can use the impressions he got from film and television animation works to specifically imagine the scene at that time against his father's description.
It creeped him, it made him worried, and he didn't feel safe in the world.
Ever since his father first told about the demon hunt back then, he has deeply felt the danger of this world. Since then, he has been practicing hard every day, trying to make himself stronger, and at the age of sixteen, he is already the undisputed number one master among the young generation of Dingfeng Town, and among those under the age of thirty, there is not even one who can win him.
But he felt that it was not enough, far from enough!
His strength is still far from his father's, and a "master" like him, his father can beat ten at a time. If you get it right, you might be able to play more.
But even if he is a father, he is not a real master in this world. In the face of those terrifying monsters, he relied more on luck to survive.
Whenever he thought of this, Pan Long's heart was full of uneasiness. And his father's willingness to take risks to hide his injuries made him more uneasy.
A few days ago, he could hold back and not let himself show his worry. But today, on the day when the demon hunting team was scheduled to return, he finally couldn't bear it anymore, and rushed to the city tower just after noon, frequently looking at the north, looking forward to seeing his father return safely.
"Dad, it doesn't matter if the show is successful or not, it doesn't matter if the demon hunt fails, you must come back safely!"
As the sun was almost below the horizon, a large black dot finally appeared in the distance to the north.
This made everyone who had been paying attention to that side shocked, and Pan Long couldn't help but shout: "They're back!
Everyone smiled, understanding his gaffe - he had been so nervous for so long. Not to mention a person, even if it is a bow, it is unbearable to break the string for so long.
Some people even praised in their hearts: "Pan Dashao is said to be a martial idiot, not close to his family, it seems that it is all rumors, he is clearly very filial!"
In fact, this is not a pure rumor, Pan Long was really worried when he first crossed, and he was not close enough to his family for several years. But his parents didn't dislike him because of his cold personality, on the contrary, they kept trying to find ways to make him happy. After his mother returned to his hometown to retreat and practice his own spiritual method, his father devoted all his thoughts to taking care of and teaching him, and never spared a single star in terms of time, energy or material wealth.
He was able to become the first master of the young generation in Dingfeng Town, although he had his own hard work, and his father's teaching and training were also indispensable.
Over the years, Pan Long has seen the care and care of his father and other relatives for him. He has already completely identified with the identity of this life, with this father, and with the relatives in this world.
Seeing that the demon hunting team was getting closer and closer, he saw his father's figure from a distance, and he couldn't wait for the city gate to open, so he jumped down from the city tower and headed towards the demon hunting team.
Moments later, he met his father, Pan Lei, in a large car.
The "Iron Palm Pan Zhuangwu", who was usually majestic, even if he sat still, made people feel as nervous as if there was a fierce beast in front of him, and now his face was pale, and he couldn't even ride a horse, so he could only sit in a car, and there were several pieces of animal skins under him, which looked like he was embarrassed.
But when he saw his son coming, he smiled happily from the bottom of his heart.
"Daddy, are you alright?"
"It's okay, I fought hard with an ironback bear. I'm afraid that the old thing is almost fine, and I have suffered a little loss to kill it. Pan Lei smiled and said lightly, "Oh, look at its teeth, how long!"
As he spoke, he lifted a piece of animal skin beside him, revealing the huge bear head underneath.
It was a very hideous giant bear, with a head alone that was about half the size of an ordinary person's body, and the fangs in its mouth were longer than the daggers of ordinary hunters. With a big guy like this, an ordinary hunter probably only needs to be rubbed by its claws, and even have no chance to rescue it. Only a master like Pan Lei has the ability to beat it to death and turn it into his own trophy.
Although Pan Lei was also seriously injured because of this, a master like him was not injured a little. Anyway, he has a few months to recuperate, and in the concept of the Northlanders, it is natural for the demon hunter to be injured, as long as he does not miss an arm or a broken leg, he can always recover completely.
Pan Long knew that if his father wasn't for acting, even if he had suffered internal injuries before, he might not be able to take down this ferocious demon beast unscathed.
The strength of the first master in Dingfeng Town is actually stronger than what people are familiar with!
So he wondered more and more, and he didn't understand why Daddy was doing this.
He knew that his father must have a reason, but what was the reason why he even had to hide his own son?
