Chapter 179: The Mysterious Visitor
It seemed like a normal inquiry, but Tian Jihong, who couldn't hide his careful heart, clearly felt that Wang Hong's tone was a little sour. But now is not the time to be entangled with it, Tian Jihong is still counting on Wang Hong to help find the whereabouts of the Dark Abyss Jiao.
"Uncle Wang thinks too much of the boy me, you know that I just know a little bit of fists and feet, it was those two guys who were too light to be glad to be taken down by me, and I am far inferior to you in terms of strength." Tian Jihong replied.
"Hmph, I said that you kid has something to be angry about, seeing that you haven't been stuck in the Yijin realm for several years, and then look at the real cultivation genius of Xiaohong, who is younger than you and me, and has a strength far beyond you and me in just a few days of cultivation, it is really in vain not to apprentice to practice with such a talent!" Lin Rong has always been unaccustomed to Wang Hong's complacent appearance, so he directly debunked the Tao.
"Oh? Does this kid really have such strength? Could it be that I'm really looking away? Wang Hong carefully measured Tian Jihong, who was half a head short of him in front of him, and there was still a hint of doubt in his tone.
Seeing that the situation between the two was not right, Tianjihong hurriedly interrupted: "Okay, okay, it's important to get down to business." Uncle Wang, you mentioned the two bandits just now, it seems that you were arrested and returned to the village? ”
"Well, these two guys are now locked up in the abandoned barn in the north, and when they wake up, I and the village chief Huai will personally interrogate them, and I heard the shopkeeper Lin say that you think they are from the Longsheng caravan, but so?" Wang Hong asked.
"That's right, the Longsheng caravan can't deceive the high commission in our village, so they are angry and secretly attack the people we arranged to go to Dongsheng Town, and Brother Rong and I were lucky to escape from that Qianbiao's hands just now."
"Hmph, I really didn't expect this group of guys to be like this, just after listening to Shopkeeper Lin, a few of us were worried that they would come to retaliate, so they hurriedly set up precautions at the entrance of the village. At the beginning, I mentioned to the head of Huai Village that I would leave this matter to me, but now that I am about to break through, as long as I am given another day or two to break through the Yijin Realm, I will not pay attention to the beast that is a disaster at all! Wang Hong said angrily.
"It seems that Uncle Wang, you have a good understanding of that guy, right? The two of us have heard a series of things in the village and have been analyzing the origin of that big guy, and I heard that in the past few days, Uncle Wang, you have been arranged to track down the whereabouts of this sea beast. Dare to ask if that thing is really the abyss Jiao we guessed? And where does the beast hide in his daily life? Tian Jihong hurriedly asked.
"Well, it's been a few days since I tossed me around, but fortunately, just before I returned to the village after a busy night, I was really lucky enough to see the figure of the beast, but because the people were not enough to be afraid of startling the snake, this didn't directly alarm the big guy. Originally, I was still counting on Xiaolin to invite reinforcements from Dongsheng Town to join him when the time came, but now it seems that there is no play. Wang Hong swept his gaze to Lin Rong, who was unconvinced, with a bit of reproach in his eyes.
"As for the origin of that thing, your analysis is indeed good, although I can't see its full appearance at night, but I am basically sure that this is a mutated abyssal dragon, but its habits are indeed a little surprising with its kind, somehow this abyssal dragon dares to completely ignore the threat of human beings and go deep into this shore for more than ten miles, and in terms of size, it is far beyond the ordinary dragon."
"It's not that there is no one who surpasses this guy in the Abyss Jiao, but generally speaking, without considering the deliberate transformation, the size and cultivation of the dragon spirit beast are closely related. Those existences that exceed this mutant are all cultivated to be high, and the Yijin Realm Abyss Jiao of the same level is often only the size of three or two people at best, and I have never seen such an Abyss Jiao with a body size of half a house, so I guess that most of them are mutants. Wang Hong continued.
"Although I still don't know what caused its brutality and abnormal habits, I can confirm that this beast is hiding in a den only two miles from the slope of the sun. As you know, there is a large rocky area on the horizon in the southeast corner, and it is there that I found traces of the activity of this abyssal jiao, and then I found the nest of this beast. Speaking of which, it's not too far from Xiaohong's house, you and Xiaofei should be careful, maybe the next target of this big guy will be the two of you. ”
Tian Jihong nodded, and this time he successfully got important information out of Wang Hong's mouth, and he became more and more sure. "Thanks for reminding me, I'm actually planning to do just that, so I'm going to go home now. Brother Lin, you should also go back to the inn first to see how Uncle Lin is doing, and after I settle Xiaofei down in a while, I will come to you again. And Uncle Wang, you also have to be more careful, although I don't think that Qianbiao would choose to retaliate against the village in broad daylight so quickly after this mistake; But now that two of his caravan have fallen into my hands, there is no guarantee that he will not do anything more in secret, so you should be careful. ”
After the three of them hurriedly said goodbye, Tian Jihong also hurriedly embarked on the way home. Although he is not very interested in this Wang Hong, as a fellow villager, he knows in his heart that the other party's reminder is also for his own sake, and the information about the dark abyss Jiao should not be false in what the other party said. Fortunately, when he and his master parted in the morning, he had left Tianjihong in the village, and Tianjihong, who had no worries, could also rest assured to think about how to deal with the difficult beast next.
With Tian Jihong's more and more cautious personality now, he didn't plan to attack that beast directly this time. Whether it was the abnormal habits of this Abyss Jiao or its own strength, Tian Jihong always felt that this matter was not just an ordinary attack, and he should be more careful to deal with it. This time, his excuse was to go home, not to take down the beast in one fell swoop, but to plan to be like that Wang Hong, first explore and find out its habits and specific habitat, and then plan how to take down this big guy.
It's just that things didn't go as smoothly as he expected, and less than a hundred meters after traveling to the edge of the thatched hut, Tianjihong's powerful divine soul sensed that something was wrong. Looking at the waist-high barren grass around him, he didn't see anything unusual in his field of vision, but what Tian Jihong was particularly sure of was that his scattered soul consciousness clearly captured the fluctuation of spiritual power within dozens of meters away from him.
However, what made him feel extra vigilant was that whether this aura came from a human or a spirit animal, the other party didn't seem to have the intention of showing up directly. He stopped in place for a full ten minutes under his full concentration, but he did not wait for any attack from his opponent. And after thinking about it, if it is really as Wang Hong said before, the only one who may pose a threat to himself in the vicinity is the Dark Abyssal Jiao, but the size of the latter cannot be hidden between this unobstructed plain, let alone the means of concealing such a hidden aura that can be hidden from Tianjihong.
Therefore, according to Tian Jihong's opinion, the other party is very likely to be a monk, and judging from the situation that the other party immediately suppressed his breath when he was sensed by his soul sense, his strength would not be weaker than his own at least, and it would never be done by the people in the village. And for such a stranger hidden in the dark, Tianjihong will never believe that the other party is doing it with good intentions. In his mind, from the mountain bandit who was chased by his master and fled to the deep mountains, to the Qianbiao who might use his means behind his back, and even to the enemy who had a grudge against his father and mother and might chase him here, he quickly passed through it.
But ten minutes passed, and the grass beside him was still as calm as ever, and the original fluctuating aura seemed to suddenly disappear into invisibility, and it was no longer perceptible. The helpless Tianjihong understood that in such an empty realm, if there was no clear goal, it would be impossible to distinguish the other party's movements among the high grass with the naked eye. Therefore, he had no choice but to give up, and while watching the grass and trees around him with extra alertness, he cautiously paced towards the familiar door.
At the moment of stepping into the house, Tian Jihong was also slightly relieved, and hurriedly walked into the house to lock the door. Although this humble room could not be expected to defend itself against attacks from the monks, at least the familiar environment gave it enough space to hide and dodge, allowing it to maneuver with potential enemies.
However, after looking around the house that day, Jihong keenly sensed that something was wrong in the air. He knew every brick and tile in his home, and he soon saw from the clues that his home seemed to have been set foot by strangers early. Although the other party seems to have deliberately wiped away the traces of his arrival, for this Tianjihong, who has lived here for two years, this method is obviously useless.
Now Tian Jihong felt more and more that the other party was not good, and most of the breath he sensed just now was the same person as the stranger who trespassed into the house, and the other party must have been caught by himself when he left, so he fled. But what made Tian Jihong feel puzzled was that the other party knew that his strength would not be under him, so why did he do such a thing of stealing chickens and dogs? If it is really as he fears the most, it is the enemy of his father and mother, then it is just a matter of moving his fingers to directly wipe himself out with the other party's cultivation.
Fortunately, after some careful inspection, Tian Jihong was satisfied to see that he had taken precautions to leave the treasures left by his father and mother, as well as the important objects that symbolized the identities of the two, were hidden in corners or cellars that were extremely difficult to find, and there was no trace of being found by the other party. And after some inspection, the quiet appearance of the house did not seem to be ambushed by others, only the king rabbit who was firmly tied in the backyard made a whimpering sound.
