Chapter Seventy-Nine: The Robbery of the Mountain Village (Part 2)
Lijiazhai, beautiful mountains and rivers. In addition to some farmland that had been cultivated by Orion families, there were dense forests around it. The entire village of Lijiazhai is located on a small low slope in the middle of this valley. The village is surrounded by hard and towering wooden piles, which can not only resist the invasion of fierce beasts and poisonous snakes, but also build the paradise-like home in the hearts of many hunters in Lijiazhai in this small valley.
It's just that now this small village called Lijiazhai has turned into a ruin in a sea of fire.
The tall wooden stake wall, long broken and scattered around, revealed a dilapidated scene. The scattered houses in the original village were also engulfed by the raging fire.
The smoke from the burning house rose into the sky.
"No! no!" Far away in the air, seeing the skyrocketing fire and black smoke on the side of Li Jiazhai, Shen Chong's heart suddenly tightened.
Recklessly urging the remnants of the Yuan Spiritual Qi in his body, Shen Chong flew into Lijiazhai like crazy.
Everywhere you look, the corpses are all over the field, full of devastation.
"Cripple!?Aunt Wu!?" Fourth Uncle Li muttered, watching the familiar villagers lying in a pool of blood, each with a look of horror on their faces. "It's... This...... How so!?"
Originally, Shen Chong and the others could arrive more than half an hour earlier than Yingfu and the others, but because they encountered a colony of purple-tailed black bees, they were delayed for nearly an hour, and now they rushed back, and the murderer had already left after slaughtering the village and disappeared.
"Damn! bastard!!" Shen Chong gritted his teeth and slammed his fist into a ruined wall, which he knocked down.
If it weren't for the damn swarm of purple-tailed black bees, if I had arrived in the village a moment before the beasts!
The remorse in Shen Chong's heart was incomprehensible, and after seeing the tragedy of Lijiazhai with his own eyes, he took all the blame of many villagers who failed to escape the catastrophe on his head.
"Xianglian!?Xiaolong!Xiaofeng!" Fourth Uncle Li suddenly came back to his senses and ran towards his house not far away.
Most of the house had collapsed in the fire, and it was still emitting thick black smoke. There was a strong smell of burnt and bloody blood.
"Come out, Xiaolong, come out quickly!" Li Si cried as he rummaged through the rubble with his bare hands.
Shen Chong's nose was sour when he saw it on the side, and he almost burst into tears.
"Bang la la~~" In the sound of rubble turning, several figures suddenly came up from the ground.
"Dad, Dad, Brother Shen Chong!"
"Brother Shen Chong!
Several familiar voices sounded, and Xiang'er, Xiaolong, and Xiaofeng were covered with dust.
Li Si and Shen Chong hurriedly rushed over ecstatically, patted the dust off several people, and then hugged each other tightly.
"Good! Long'er, Feng'er, you're fine, Dad is so happy!" Li Si cried with joy, holding Xiaolong Xiaofeng and refusing to let go.
Shen Chong also gently hugged Xiang'er, who was a little weak, and comforted her softly: "Xiang'er, are you okay?" Okay, those cultivators are gone, and we're safe. ”
Embraced by Shen Chongjian's strong arms, Xiang'er's flustered heart gradually settled down.
Suddenly, Li Siyi grabbed Xiaofeng's shoulder and asked in a loud voice, "Feng'er, where is your mother, why can't you see your mother!?"
Xiaofeng was also at a loss, and after she couldn't find her mother, her eyes turned red and she cried: "Mother, mother, Xiaofeng doesn't know, when Sister Xiang'er asked us to hide, my mother happened to help at Aunt Fu's house." ”
Shen Chong and Li Si's hearts sank, and they were about to ask, but Xiang'er on the side said: "Fourth uncle, Brother Shen Chong, don't worry. Today, Aunt Lian was called by Aunt Fu to help, and I took care of Xiaolong Xiaofeng at home. For a moment, I suddenly felt a palpitation, so I used my spiritual sense to investigate, and found that there were many cultivators around, and there were several of them with very high cultivation, and I didn't dare to act rashly, so for the sake of safety, I broke through the ground, put a large vat into it, and hid Xiaolong Xiaofeng in it. When I wanted to inform Aunt Lian, it was too late, and countless cultivators, led by a few masters, rushed directly into the village, so I had to hide with Xiaolong and Xiaofeng, and use the hidden magic technique to cover up the aura on their bodies, plus my spiritual sense has been probing outside. Therefore, the consumption of true spirit and spiritual power is very strong, so it will be so weak......"
There is also a limit to the distance that a cultivator in the Yuan Infant Stage can probe in the early Yuan Infant stage, and with Xiang'er's level in the early Yuan Infant stage, the spiritual sense investigation can find a maximum of hundreds of meters to a kilometer away, and it is impossible for her to maintain the spiritual sense investigation at all times, otherwise the true spirit will be very tired. Therefore, when those cultivators were so close to the village, Xiang'er noticed that something was wrong, and she couldn't be blamed.
Shen Chong nodded slightly, and then asked, "What about Aunt Lian, has she been poisoned by those cultivators?"
Xiang'er shook her head and said, "No, she was knocked unconscious by a pre-transformation cultivator in silver armor, and then taken away." In the entire Li family village, only the three of us and Aunt Lian survived. ”
Shen Chong asked a little strangely: "The entire Li family village has been killed, Xiang'er, the three of you were spared because they hid underground and were not discovered, but why did they arrest Aunt Lian alone but not kill her?"
Xiang'er looked at the fourth uncle, then at Shen Chong, and then suddenly said with a slightly red face: "Should... It should be that silver-armored thief who is greedy for Aunt Lian's beauty, I heard him say that he should take it back and enjoy it well, and let his subordinates not leak secrets, otherwise they will be severely punished. ”
Under the investigation of spiritual sense, the words of those thieves, Xiang'er naturally listened to them word for word.
Shen Chong's face sank, knowing that what Xiang'er said was true. Although Aunt Lian is already the mother of two eight-year-old children, her appearance and figure are definitely among the top grades among mortal women.
"I'm fighting with them!" Fourth Uncle Li roared, his eyes were red, he grabbed the stone spear and wooden bow, and was about to chase out of the stockade to fight hard.
Shen Chong hurriedly stopped him. With Fourth Uncle Li's mortal body, if he went to find those cultivators of the Shura Kingdom, it would be tantamount to sending him to death.
Shen Chong frowned and thought for a while, and then said cautiously: "Fourth uncle, if you can trust me, then I will go." I am an immortal, and I also have some means to save my life. It's a lot more appropriate than you go. ”
Fourth Uncle Li's fists kept tightening and loosening, and he also knew that it would be useless for him to chase people, but he couldn't watch his wife being taken away and insulted, but he didn't save him. After hesitating repeatedly, he could only nod: "Ah Chong, you must be careful." Everything is about preserving your own life, and if you can't do it, you ......."
When he said the last sentence, even he choked up. If he wants to watch his wife fall into the devil's cave and his life and death are uncertain, how can this kind of pain be bearable by ordinary people? But Shen Chong is kind enough to help him after all, so he can't let him take his young life in order to save his wife.
"Don't worry, Fourth Uncle, I'm measured. Shen Chong squeezed Li Si's wide palm tightly, and then turned his head to Xiang'er and said, "Xiang'er, when I go to chase people, you take good care of the fourth uncle, Xiaolong, and Xiaofeng on my behalf, don't let them encounter any more accidents." ”
"Brother Shen Chong......! You have to be careful. Xiang'er will always be here, waiting for you to come back. Xiang'er's beautiful eyes were full of tears.
She has the spiritual sense of the master of the Yuan Infant Stage, and has witnessed the entire process of slaughtering the village with her own eyes, so she is naturally very aware of the strength of those thieves. Shen Chong's trip can be described as extremely dangerous, and if he is not careful, he may take his own life.
Because she knew very well what kind of danger Shen Chong was about to face, she was also very worried about Shen Chong's safety in Xiang'er's heart.
After a brief farewell, Shen Chong immediately left the village, and then quickly chased after him in the direction guided by Xiang'er.
Every time there is a moment's delay, the danger that Aunt Lian may bear is a little stronger.
The direction that Shen Chong pursued was the direction of the Red Tiger City where the Orion had gone last time. Red Tiger City is a border city owned by the Shura Kingdom, and returning to China from that place is also consistent with the identity of the Shura Kingdom of these thieves.
Along the way, some clues after the team passed by could be found intermittently, which showed that Shen Chong's tracking direction did not deviate. Finally, under the combination of running and flying from time to time, at night half a day later, Shen Chong finally caught up with Yingfu and their team in a small canyon overgrown with plants.
Shen Chong was able to catch up with the other party so quickly, on the one hand, because he was eager to save people, and he didn't dare to slack off in the slightest. On the other hand, because the number of people in their team is really large, after completing the task this time, they are not in a hurry.
In the deep night, in a dark corner that could not be illuminated by fluorescent plants, Shen Chong was lying quietly, with a pair of eyes as bright as stars, staring at the camp not far away without blinking.
Seeing those cultivators camping, it is estimated that they want to stay in this small canyon and rest for the night.
The noisy sound of the soldiers drinking and punching came out of the camp far away and into Shen Chong's ears.
Shen Chong waited quietly until his aura returned to its peak state, and then he started the 'Very Secret Technique', and then with a slight force under his feet, the whole person came out of the woods like a sharp arrow, and his body zigzags forward like a ghost, quietly, but sneaked into the camp very quickly.
Coming to the camp, Shen Chong became more and more cautious, flexibly avoiding several waves of patrolling guards, and then leaned over the tallest and most luxurious tent in the entire camp.
Feeling a familiar fluctuation of spiritual power, Shen Chong knew that the illusionist in the late stage of transformation, Shadow Fu, was in this main tent at this moment. He cautiously leaned over and lurked outside the tent with some borrowed artifacts.
