Jiang Yao's whole person became nervous, he stared at the legs beside the bed, and he didn't dare to make a sound.

He knew very well that if a few of them swarmed up, it would not be a problem to subdue the old man, but the noise would be too great, and if the other villagers were lured over, they would face a siege by the whole village, and it would be difficult to fly even if they had wings in their wings.

But then again, Jiang Yao had left traces when he searched in the main room before, especially the board bed above his head, if the old man noticed, then it can be said that their situation was already precarious.

The old man Huang beside the bed still didn't move, and Jiang Yao saw that the legs in front of him stood for a while, then suddenly turned around and walked to the table at the door again.

Didn't you find out?

Jiang Yao saw this situation before he had time to breathe a sigh of relief, and found that the old man turned back to the bedside, as if he was still holding something in his hand, just when Jiang Yao was a little surprised, he suddenly heard a faint "creaking" sound from the board bed above, and the dust fell down along the gap in the bed board, falling on Jiang Yao's head, and in an instant, a bad premonition came out of Jiang Yao's heart!

"Whoa——!

Hearing the sound of the bed board shattering, a black sword with a blade emitting cold light pierced through the thin bed board in an instant, and stabbed straight towards the top of Jiang Yao's head! Jiang Yao immediately turned his head and dodged to the side, and the blade grazed his scalp and stabbed into the air, and Mu Jianyun, who witnessed a series of mutations behind Jiang Yao, was also suddenly shocked into a cold sweat.

Exposed!

Jiang Yao reacted instantly, looked up, and found that the old man surnamed Huang had leaned down at this time, looked at Jiang Yao at the bottom of the bed, and sneered hideously.

"Hehe, I originally planned to send you below tomorrow, but I didn't expect you to come over first. The old man's face was full of distorted expressions, and before Jiang Yao could speak, he saw that the old man suddenly got up and pulled out the black sword, and stabbed it under the bed again!

"Pounds!"

Seeing this, Jiang Yao hurriedly retreated, and once again dodged the sharp sword piercing from above, but the entrance and exit of the basement were very narrow, allowing only one person to barely enter and exit, if he was attacked and blocked by the bayonet sword from above, as time went by, everyone's situation would become more critical.

It can't go on like this......

Jiang Yao's heart froze, the ocean of power in his body automatically began to rush again under the stimulation of the crisis, and quickly jumped along the veins to his hands, just when the black sword stabbed into the bed for the third time and had no time to pull it out, Jiang Yao saw the opportunity to shoot instantly, the index finger and middle finger clamped to the sword body, only to see a flash of purple light between his fingers, the sharp black sword was broken, and this situation was obviously beyond the old man's expectations, the old man stumbled under the unstable shape, and fell to the ground on his back.

Got it!!

Jiang Yao was overjoyed, and hurriedly set off to climb out of the ground, and the old man ran away when he saw that this was not good, Jiang Yao saw that he seemed to go out to call someone, and his heart couldn't help but be anxious, his head hit the edge of the bed board, and his eyes suddenly hurt so much that when he came back to his senses and looked at the old man again, he saw that the other party had run out of the house, and he ran away in an instant.

"Oops, he's going to call someone...... We've got to get out of here quickly!"

Jiang Yao, who climbed out of the basement, hurriedly turned around and pulled the others out one by one, and everyone who realized that the current situation was not good stopped rubbing, and hurriedly rushed out of the old man's earthen house, only to find that many villagers had begun to gather outside the courtyard.

"Go this way!"

This time it was Mu Jianyun who gave the instructions, and I saw him go straight to the corner of the courtyard, peel off the shrubs that covered him, and saw a hole appear on the wall behind the shrubs.

"I've investigated before, and this hole leads to an abandoned house at the back of the village, and after running through the abandoned house, you can hide in the woods after a while. Mu Jianyun said.

"Let's go!" Seeing that the villagers outside were gathering more and more, Jiang Yao and the others couldn't care so much, so they hurriedly rushed into a small path outside the courtyard along the hole in the wall one by one.

The surrounding voices became more and more noisy, and it was obvious that the old man had gathered the whole village, and he looked like he would not stop holding them, and everyone was also hiding from the villagers who were searching, and they groped towards the abandoned house behind the village by the moonlight.

I have to say that Mu Jianyun and Qing Yu's skills and judgment are really good, under the leadership of the two, everyone was able to shuttle between the crowd unconsciously in front of everyone's eyes, and they just stood out in the encirclement of the villagers and marched in the direction of the back of the village.

"I see, you and Tao Tao were separated when they were looking for clues about Zhou Wenhai's accident, and they were brought here ......" Mu Jianyun listened to Jiang Yao's retelling, nodded thoughtfully, and along the way, Jiang Yao also gave a general introduction to his previous experience, and now that the four of them are already people on the same boat, there is no reason to continue to hide it.

"Didn't Lu Jingyi tell you about our operation?" Jiang Yao asked.

“…… No, we were on another mission and had not yet had time to return to headquarters. Mu Jianyun paused and said. "However, judging from Zhou Wenhai's situation, it is indeed worth coming here to investigate...... And the monster that attacked you before should be the one that Qing Yu and I planned to search for but didn't have time to find. ”

"That monster is very ferocious, and now the situation of the gluttony and the white pheasant is unknown, and I am a little worried...... Gotta find them as soon as possible. Jiang Yao said, his face became more and more solemn, and as everyone continued to march, the noise in his ears gradually disappeared, and in the silent night, a vague shadow came into everyone's eyes.

"This is the abandoned house I mentioned earlier, the area is so big...... Jiang Yao followed, looking up, only to see the tall and low ruins looming in the misty moonlight, at first glance it looks like a dead tomb, and although the style of those stone houses is similar to other houses in the village, the sense of age seems to be more old, and the turquoise moss swallows the broken walls, making people feel bleak and dilapidated.

"I checked a little when I entered the village before, do you know what the name of this village is?" Mu Jianyun led the way and said. According to the villagers, this place is called 'Chiquan Village'. ”

"Chiquan Village?!" Jiang Yao couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this. "I remember that this Chiquan village was not ...... in the landslide accident a few years ago"

"It's all buried, and the lives of an entire village are gone. Mu Jianyun said. "However, the reality is that everyone in this village claims to be the buried villager of 'Chiquan Village', and ......"

Mu Jianyun was silent for a moment, as if he was a little confused. "And don't you think the aura on those people is strange?"

"Did you notice it too?I thought it was just an illusion on my own......" Jiang Yao looked at Mu Jianyun in surprise. "What the hell is going on with them?"

"What's the situation...... To put it simply, none of them have the "popularity" that humans should have. Mu Jianyun said. "Ordinary living people are born with a unique human aura, and so are demons, which is also an important benchmark for distinguishing others from demons, but this aura does not exist in those villagers, it is like ...... Dead in general. ”

"Do you suspect that they are...... Are those former 'Chiquan Village' villagers who have been buried alive and died?" Jiang Yao's eyes widened, and such speculation made him feel a chill down his spine.

"No, those people are alive, I'm sure of that. Mu Jianyun glanced at Jiang Yao and said decisively. "It's just that the lack of 'popularity' is too weird, so I'm not sure what's going on. ”

"If it's not human, what else can it be? if it's a demon, there's no reason why we can't feel any demon ...... in them."

Jiang Yao was halfway through his words, and suddenly caught a glimpse of Zhou Wentao, who was looking at him from the side, and swallowed the word "qi" behind him, and stopped speaking as if he had any scruples.

"......" Zhou Wentao was silent, obviously aware of something, his face seemed to become a little tangled, after hesitating for a moment, he deliberately slowed down his pace, and kept glancing at Jiang Yao, and Jiang Yao saw him like this and understood that the other party had something to say, so he also cooperated and walked behind, and opened a slight distance from Mu Jianyun and Qing Yu in front.

"What's wrong? Jiang Yao said softly.

I said...... Xiaoyao, are you ...... Hiding a lot from me?" Zhou Wentao pondered the sentence, and finally raised his head and opened his mouth hesitantly. "A lot of what you say feels like another world, and it seems to be hiding a lot of secrets, and every time you get to those secrets, you deliberately tear away from the topic, as if I know it......"

"Ah, are you, are you thinking too much?" Jiang Yao's face had an innocent look on his face again.

"But I don't think I'm thinking too much, I feel like you've changed a little bit since you last lost contact. This time, Zhou Wentao was not fooled by Jiang Yao's "innocent" face, and stared at Jiang Yao seriously.

"Don't mention anything else, let's talk about the relationship between you and the two masters of Jiuya and Gluttony, although I didn't say it directly before, but I always feel that you seem to be very familiar with them, not at all like what you said is just a new acquaintance;

"......" Jiang Yao was silent, he understood that he was afraid that he would not be able to hide it this time, although Zhou Wentao looked like he had no heart from childhood to adulthood, but he was also a delicate and persistent person when he was serious, but if he really wanted him to explain all this to Zhou Wentao, he didn't know how to speak, and he could only remain silent for the time being, but this silence seemed to strengthen Zhou Wentao's guess, and his tone became a little anxious.

"No matter how you think about my brother's accident this time, do you also know some hidden secrets about these?" Zhou Wentao stopped and grabbed Jiang Yao's clothes. "Tell me, what the hell is going on?"

"I've already told you everything I can about your brother, and as for the rest...... I can't go into details for some reason, but I assure you that I did all this to save your brother and for your own good. Jiang Yao stood still, looked back at Zhou Wentao's gaze and said. "If you have to know, I'll tell you exactly when the time is right, but at least not now. ”

"......" Zhou Wentao glared at Jiang Yao, his lips opened slightly, as if he was going to say something, but in the end he didn't spit out half a word, and at this time, Qing Yu's voice suddenly came from the front:

"Hey, what are you two messing with? Come here, there's a ...... situation."

“…… I'm going to let you go, but I'm not going to just give up. Zhou Wentao gritted his teeth, and finally let go, and the two of them walked forward without saying a word with their heads down, just as they saw Mu Jianyun and Qing Yu squatting in the bushes in front of them, looking at something from the ruins in front of them.

Jiang Yao walked to the two of them, followed their line of sight and looked carefully, only to see that under the cold moonlight, a figure sneakily appeared in the ruins of the abandoned house not far away.
