Li Gongfu, who left Song Xing's residence, although he had doubts in his heart, still believed Song Xing's words for the time being, and hurried towards the yamen.

When he arrived at the Yamen, he made clear the county order, saying that he was worried that the murderer would come out to harm people again, so he took the three classes of officials and went towards the Xuanwu Temple.

With such a toss, the sun has completely set, and the moon hangs high in the night sky.

The group held torches and hurried through the moonlight, and soon arrived outside the Xuanwu Temple.

At this moment, dark clouds covered the sky, and the black pressure seemed to collapse.

The trees and grass in the distance were all covered by black clouds, and the entire Xuanwu Temple was even more eerie and terrifying, as if there were ghosts crying.

Li Gongfu stood in front of the Xuanwu Temple and looked up, but only faintly saw the lights in the Xuanwu Temple, vaguely illuminating the vague outline of a statue.

A chill suddenly appeared in his heart, and goosebumps skyrocketed all over his body.

However, Li Gongfu still had the courage to walk into the Xuanwu Temple, and when he looked around, he was stunned.

In the originally dark and dim Xuanwu Temple, there was suddenly an additional corpse, lying on the ground, blood flowing all over the stone steps of the entire Xuanwu Temple.

Li Gongfu was startled when he saw this, hurriedly took a few steps back, and asked the official beside him: "What's going on?" ”

These officials were also shocked by the tragic scene in front of them, and shook their heads one after another: "Villain...... I don't know! ”

Under the firelight, everyone recognized that these were the two officials who had stayed at the Xuanwu Temple to guard the scene.

"What a bold man, he dares to commit crimes continuously!" An old official beside Li Gongfu shouted a little timidly.

"Everyone, get together and enter the temple!" Li Gongfu calmed down, reached out and picked up the torch in the hand of a servant behind him, and walked towards the Xuanwu Temple in the lead.

Although he was also terrified in his heart, he couldn't let a single corpse scare away until he saw a monster.

The duty of the head catcher also made him unable to do it, so he turned around and left.

What's more, according to what Song Xing said, if the murderer is really not a human being, then such a tragedy is bound to be repeated in Qiantang County in the coming days.

Seeing Li Gongfu enter the temple, several officials who had a good relationship with him glanced at each other and followed closely.

With someone taking the lead, the rest of the people also shouted, and walked towards the temple with courage.

As soon as they entered the temple gate, the bloody breath entered everyone's noses, making them can't help but sneeze a few times.

The Xuanwu Temple does not occupy a large area, only more than ten meters long and wide, and from the appearance, it seems that there is nothing abnormal.

There is a statue of the god enshrined in the temple, and in front of the statue, incense burners, candles and other worship items are placed.

"Everyone scatter to look for it, don't let the murderer escape while the chaos is in chaos!"

Li Gongfu waved his hand and motioned for everyone to look for clues, while he walked to the idol and examined it carefully.

The Xuanwu Temple was built in the last years of the previous dynasty, with a long history, the hall is magnificent, and the shrine is carved with various statues of gods, lifelike, like a living thing.

Li Gongfu observed left and right, and at this moment, a gust of wind suddenly blew.

He suddenly felt a chill above his head, and subconsciously glanced up.

At this look, he was dumbfounded, and his pupils contracted into pins.

By the light of the torches, a vague human body could be seen suspended in the air, and it was clear that the costume was another vanished official.

At this time, more and more torches lit up from behind Li Gongfu, illuminating the hall as bright as day, and Li Gongfu also saw clearly where the dead officials were suspended in the air, and they were clearly hung upside down on the beams of the house by two huge lifts.

And looking up along the two pitch-black claws, the first thing Li Gongfu saw was a pair of shiny huge pupils and a furry beast face.

The massive beast's face was covered with hideous fangs, and its scarlet tongue sticked out of the corners of its mouth, dripping with sticky saliva.

With elongated forelimbs and thin, hairless wing membranes between the fingers and between the forelimbs and hindlimbs, the huge beast's head looks like a rat's head that has been magnified hundreds of times.

It's a huge, exaggerated bat!

Li Gongfu's heart was pounding, his forehead was sweating, and his whole body was stiff.

Because he suddenly saw that what was chewing on this terrifying strange face was the corpse of the missing official just now.

Song Xing was right, it was really not humans who caused this horrific tragedy, but this bat monster that looked terrifying!

"Help! Help me! ”

Suddenly, I don't know who screamed, breaking the silence, Li Gongfu immediately heard a panicked footsteps, and many people began to run out of the hall.

"Shut up for me, don't scream!" Li Gongfu roared and immediately chased out, but saw that the other officials were also pale and panicked, and rushed out one by one.

A group of people hurriedly ran out, Li Gongfu thought about it, simply gritted his teeth and followed.

After leaving the Xuanwu Temple, Li Gongfu looked up to the sky and found that the moon was hanging in the night, revealing half of his face, and the moonlight was bright and sprinkled with silver light.

And those officials have long since disappeared.

Li Gongfu looked around and found that at some point, the terrifying bat beast had chased it out, obviously disturbed by their actions just now.

I saw the bat monster scream violently, its speed increased suddenly, and it came to Li Gongfu in an instant, opening its big mouth, its sharp fangs flashing with ghostly light, as if it was about to tear Li Gongfu apart in the next second.

"Brute, die!" Li Gongfu roared angrily, clenched the long knife with both hands, and smashed it into the bat beast's head.

Rumble!

With a muffled sound, the long knife slashed at the batmon's head, as if it were slashed on hard steel, and it was directly bounced.

Li Gongfu's body froze suddenly, and then the whole person flew out like a kite with a broken string, fell to the ground, and began to vomit blood in his mouth.

"Is this sorcery?" Li Gongfu's eyes widened, staring at the bat beast deadly.

For a moment, he hadn't even seen how the batamonster moved.

The bat beast looked down on Li Gongfu condescendingly, its mouth slightly cracked, revealing a row of cold and sharp fangs.

Li Gongfu stood up strongly, wiped the blood from his lips, and snorted coldly: "Do you think I will be afraid that you will not succeed?" ”

As soon as the words fell, Li Gongfu jumped up suddenly, rushed at the bat beast with a knife, and slashed out, and the power exploded to the extreme, like a landslide and tsunami.

Li Gongfu has practiced martial arts for many years, and his physical fitness can be called strong, and this blow is extremely powerful.

However, just when the long knife was about to slash at the bat beast, he saw the bat beast's wings flap slightly, and its body instantly flew into the air, avoiding Li Gongfu's killer sword.

Immediately afterward, the batbeast's wings stirred again, and the black smoke on its body billowed and surged, turning into a rich and sinister aura.

Li Gongfu didn't have time to dodge at all, and the whole person was shrouded in black mist.

"Oops!"

Li Gongfu's face changed greatly, and he only felt that his body was gradually paralyzed, as if he was frozen, and he was about to stop breathing.

Li Gongfu struggled, but his body became weaker and weaker, and finally collapsed to the ground on his stomach, his heart full of despair.

It turns out that in front of monsters, even if he has practiced martial arts for many years, he is like an ordinary person, and he has no power to resist?

Just when Li Gongfu closed his eyes and waited for death, he suddenly felt a heat in his arms, and then the stone cat that was originally hidden in his arms and given by Song Xing suddenly bloomed with ten thousand golden rays!
