() There were five people who came out of the village chief's house. The leader was a man with a sallow face. His face was full of gloom at this time. The remaining ones were a little less focused, and their faces were full of anxiety and worry.

.

"We have such a powerful guy coming to Taoyuan Village."

"Yes, even the young master was crippled by one person. There are still such powerful people in this world."

"I hope there's nothing wrong there. Let's go. Let's go quickly."

The five people were talking while walking, and their voices could be heard clearly even by Han Li, who was dozens of meters away.

Seeing the expressions and conversations of these people, Han Li's heart moved slightly.

It seems that there is something wrong.

Their voices were loud, as if they were deliberately speaking to someone in the dark, and their destination was heading deep into the mountain.

"These five people must have done it on purpose. Their purpose was to distract me. They were really cautious." Han Li sneered.

The village chief Dugu Shi is not a simple person. He will definitely consider that he is hiding in the dark and wants to check the secrets, but he cannot let Han Li discover it. With the strength shown by Han Li, I am afraid that even they themselves

I don't believe that I can find Han Li. If I rush to check the secret at this time, I might be discovered by Han Li. However, I can't suppress my worries about gains and losses, so the best way is to lure Han Li away from the darkness.

This group of people was used to lure Han Li away.

After understanding all this, Han Li was not in a hurry and hid in the dark, quietly waiting for the big fish to appear.

About a quarter of an hour later, a person walked out of the village chief's house, and quickly caught Han Li's attention. This person was the village chief Dugu Shi himself. Unexpectedly, he was seriously injured and recovered so quickly.

Already.

Dugu Shi also entered the mountains, but instead of taking the mountain road, he chose a path overgrown with weeds and walked quickly.

Han Li's expression moved and he followed him.

Dugu Shi was very careful and would stop from time to time to observe the surrounding situation. However, Han Li was even more careful and could not be discovered at all.

As if he was finally relieved, Dugu Shi clicked on a hidden place on the mountain road, and then he jumped off the cliff.

Han Li frowned. If he jumped down, he would be seriously injured even if he didn't die.

Dugu Shi would never commit suicide. Han Li appeared on the edge of the cliff and searched the bottom of the cliff carefully. Soon, he discovered the secret. There was a thick iron rope attached to the mountain wall, which matched the color of the rock.

It blends into one, and if you don't look carefully, you will really be ignored.

Even if ordinary people have this iron rope, they are unlikely to go down the cliff, but for people like Dugu Shi, it is not a big problem.

"Is the secret under the cliff?" Han Li rubbed his forehead, a little surprised.

He thought about hiding deep in the mountains, and also thought about hiding in a closed house somewhere, but he didn't expect that it was actually under a cliff. But no matter what, he was definitely going to do this.

With a leap, Han Li also jumped out of the cliff, reached out and grabbed the iron rope, and fell downwards with his hands alternately, much faster than Dugu Shi.

After a while, Let Go appeared at the bottom of the cliff, but Dugu Shi was not seen, and there was not even a trace of his arrival. It was as if he had disappeared out of thin air.

"No, he must have left somewhere along the way instead of coming to the bottom of the cliff." Han Li immediately understood. As soon as he grabbed the iron rope, Han Li quickly climbed up while his eyes searched the surroundings carefully. Soon, he found

There is a trace of a trap door, which is also very close to the color of the rocks, so it is easy to ignore.

I really don’t know how much price and effort Dugus put in to create such a place. This also shows that the other party attaches great importance to it.

As soon as he pushed the trap door, it opened immediately, revealing a dark passage. Like a beast that preys on people, Han Li was not afraid at all, and entered the passage in a flash.

The passage is not completely dark. It seems to be embedded with stones that emit light fluorescence, showing the way forward. With Han Li's eyesight, he will naturally not be afraid of getting lost, let alone allowing Dugu Shi to escape.

At this time, Han Li no longer needed to hide. He unleashed his speed and quickly caught up.

It didn't take long for Fang Shen to see Dugu Shi.

"It's you, you really came here." Dugu Shi also saw Han Li, and his face suddenly turned pale. There was no doubt that the other party came in behind him. He couldn't figure it out. He was already careful enough.

, why am I still being followed and not even aware of it.

Han Li smiled coldly, without any intention of answering. He stepped forward and rushed out like an arrow. Dugu Shi wanted to resist, but facing Han Li, he only resisted for a while before he was shot by Han Li.

Jishou cut him on the back of the head and passed out.

After kicking Dugu Shi into the corner, Han Li took a deep breath and walked deeper into the passage.

"The sacred tree, the sacred tree is really here." The passage was very long, and I didn't know where it led. However, Han Li's expression gradually changed, and he felt the familiar air flow.

Han Li's eyes were filled with heat, and his pace accelerated a lot.

"Outsider, who are you?"

After advancing a few hundred meters, Han Li suddenly heard a loud shout. The sound was so loud that the walls of the cave trembled. Some gravel rolled down, and even Han Li's ears were buzzing.

Back to normal.

If an ordinary person suddenly heard this loud roar, he might be shocked to the point of unconsciousness, but it would not be inferior to the so-called lion's roar.

Han Li narrowed his eyes, and a cold light flashed across his eyes.

This is a powerful enemy, and an unprecedentedly powerful enemy.

"Come out." The other party shouted loudly again. Han Li hesitated and walked out of the hiding place.

What suddenly opened up in front was a huge underground cave that was about twenty meters high. There was a hole in the top of the cave, and light fell from the top of the cave, allowing things to be clearly seen inside.

A tall old man with mixed black and white hair stood under the entrance of the cave. The sunlight fell on him, making him look like a god descending to earth, majestic.

The two loud shouts before were probably made by the tall old man. When he saw Han Li coming in, his sharp eyes were immediately cast towards him. If he were a timid person, he would have been frightened and fainted by the old man's hawk-like gaze.

However, Han Li turned a blind eye and did not look at the old man. Instead, he looked behind him with ardent eyes. It was a big tree ten meters high, with branches stretching to both sides. The whole body was green, verdant and full of life.

The breath emanates from it.

When ordinary people breathe in these breaths of life, they will feel full of energy and their body will get better and better, full of vigorous vitality.

This big tree should be the sacred tree of Taoyuan Village.

Han Li's original intention of coming to Taoyuan Village was for it. He should have been happy at this time, but Han Li's expression changed.

"Who are you? There is no one like you in Taoyuan Village?" Han Li looked straight at the sacred tree, seemingly stunned. The tall old man frowned and asked in a deep voice.

"Who are you?" Han Li asked back.

"Hahaha..." Upon hearing Han Li's question, the tall old man burst out laughing, causing the cave wall to tremble and small stones to roll down.

"Even I don't know that you are not from our Taoyuan Village." The tall old man's laughter subsided and his voice was extremely cold. "No matter how you got in, since you are not from Taoyuan Village, then you must die."

When he said the last word, the tall old man's voice was stern and filled with inexplicable pride.

"I, Dugushan, debuted at the age of eighteen. I came to Taoyuan Village fifty years ago and discovered this sacred tree. In three years, I did everything I could to lay this foundation. In Taoyuan Village, no matter who it is,

You should all be wary of me. The number of people who die at my hands is at least a hundred. Kid, you are not the first, and you will not be the last."

When he said this, Han Li immediately woke up.

This tall old man Dugushan is the real pillar of the village chief's family.

Originally, Han Li was still wondering. Judging from the strength displayed by the village chief and his family, they might not be able to dominate the entire Taoyuan Village for decades.

It turns out that the key lies in Dugu Mountain.
