Volume 1 Changshui County Handyman Chapter 40 Deep Mountains and Old Forests
What an eye-opener!
"Hey, brother Lu, we can still have sex for free tomorrow, how about we do it together?"
Wang Yunshan said enthusiastically.
"Forget it, let's leave the opportunity to Brother Wang, I won't get involved."
Lu Jiuzhang smiled and looked not far away. There was a man there who kept following the pace of everyone, taking his time.
He was dressed in brown clothes, had a long scar on his face, and was holding a long sword. He just walked on his way without saying a word.
This is the guard left by Chief Zhao. He is an eighth-level martial arts practitioner named Mo Mo. He is Lu Jiuzhang's current support.
With him here, Lu Jiuzhang doesn't have to worry about anything.
…
After running all the way and arriving a hundred kilometers away, it was almost two hours later.
At three o'clock in the morning, everyone was breathing heavily and wiping the sweat from their foreheads.
Compared with others, Lu Jiuzhang was much more relaxed, but his face was slightly red.
In front is an old forest. The forest is not big, but there are thickets crisscrossing it.
After passing through the old forest, you will reach a village. That village should be regarded as the most remote village in Changshui County and is often attacked by monsters.
It was too far away from Changshui County, and it took a lot of time to get the message across.
About three days ago, all the chickens, ducks, and pigs raised by farmers in the village died overnight.
And the way of death was very strange, as if he was drained of blood and died.
The villagers began to panic and immediately sent people out to contact the Demon Slayer Department of Changshui County.
Since there is a village, this is the territory of the human race, and the Demon Slayer Division will definitely take action. This is the responsibility of the Demon Slayer Division.
As for moving these people to live in Changshui County, it is somewhat unrealistic.
After entering Changshui County, what do they do to make a living?
Here, you can also grow crops and dig some medicinal materials. If you are lucky enough to find elixirs, you will be lucky.
"Through this forest, you will reach Stone Village."
Zhou Cheng, who was standing at the front, said to the crowd, "But I have a vague feeling that this forest seems a bit weird. Lu Jiuzhang, come and take a look."
Zhou Cheng called Lu Jiuzhang over.
Lu Jiuzhang had no choice but to walk over and stand next to Zhou Cheng.
Looking at the forest carefully, Lu Jiuzhang thought it was nothing.
"Master Zhou, could it be that you feel wrong?"
Lu Jiuzhang asked.
"No! Apart from feelings, have you noticed that the silence in this forest is a bit scary?" Zhou Cheng asked.
After being reminded by Zhou Cheng, Lu Jiuzhang really felt that something was wrong.
The light in the old forest is dim, the woods are shadowy, the weeds and shrubs are thick, and the sight is extremely limited.
But when the people in the village asked for help from the Demon Slayer Division in Changshui County, they passed through this old forest.
No one who came to deliver the letter was in danger, so they shouldn't encounter any danger when they go in, right?
"Master Zhou, Lu Jiuzhang is a Confucian and Taoist, and his sense of evil things is better than yours. Mr. Lu said it's no problem, but you are still suspicious here."
Among the handymen who came to perform the task, someone said something to Zhou Cheng.
That handyman was another person who killed the demon guard, and he was also a close confidant, so he was not afraid of Zhou Cheng.
Furthermore, Zhou Cheng was used to being disliked by others in the entire Demon Slaying Division.
Among all the demon-slaying guards, he has the fewest followers.
It can be said that confronting Zhou Cheng has become the correct path.
"Yes, Mr. Zhou, Brother Lu said there is no problem. I will definitely stand by Brother Lu."
Others cheered and joined in.
"What do you think?" Zhou Cheng looked at Lu Jiuzhang and asked.
"How long will the detour take?"
Lu Jiuzhang asked.
"It should take an hour. Don't look at the forest. It won't take long to take a detour."
Zhou Cheng replied.
"Then just go straight through the woods."
Lu Jiuzhang nodded.
If things here are settled as soon as possible, Lu Jiuzhang can rush back to practice as soon as possible.
After hearing what Lu Jiuzhang said, Zhou Cheng could only second his opinion.
"Everyone, step up your guard and form a warning formation after entering the old forest!"
Zhou Cheng scolded.
"Hey, you said there is no danger and you are still in alert formation. Isn't this idle?"
The person who just refuted Zhou Cheng continued to mutter.
As soon as he finished speaking, a stone hit his leg accurately.
With a "plop" sound, the man couldn't stand still and knelt on the ground.
The force of the stone was not light, and a sharp pain hit his leg, which made him suffer endlessly.
"Do you really think I'm easy to bully?"
Zhou Cheng said with a dark face, "After returning to the Demon Slayer Division, I will receive thirty big boards!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone fell silent, not daring to stand out anymore.
"Those who disobey orders will be killed first and then punished! I want to see if a handyman is more important to the Demon Slayer Division, or am I, a ninth-level martial artist, more important to the Demon Slayer Division? I don't believe how much the Demon Slayer Division can do to me if I kill you.
punish?"
Zhou Cheng had a cold face and showed no concern for the friendship between his colleagues.
In fact, there is no need to worry about these. In Zhou Cheng's mind, completing the task without losing his own life is the most important thing.
"Set off!"
Following Zhou Cheng's angry shout, everyone followed him into the old forest.
A few hundred meters away, Guard Mo, who had been following Lu Jiuzhang, stared at the forest carefully.
He also felt that there was something indescribably weird about this forest.
He is at the eighth level of martial arts and has already sensed the crisis.
The things in the woods should not threaten his life.
With this in mind, Mo Huwei followed the people from the Demon Slayer Division into the old forest.
…
Lu Jiuzhang and others took the road opened by farmers. This road was about one foot wide and was surrounded by dense jungle on both sides.
Quiet, extremely quiet.
Zhou Cheng opened the way in front, and Lu Jiuzhang stayed at the end because he had entered the Confucianism and Taoism.
"Tap tap tap..."
The sound of footsteps came to Lu Jiuzhang's ears.
Lu Jiuzhang felt slightly relieved when he heard the voice sounded like it was from Guard Mo.
"Lu Jiuzhang, come to the front!"
Suddenly, Zhou Cheng's voice came from directly in front.
Lu Jiuzhang took three steps and two steps at a time, passed through the crowd, and walked to Zhou Cheng's side at the front.
All I saw was the carcass of a huge animal lying on the ground.
The animal had been dead for some time and was beginning to rot and emit a foul odor.
People around him covered their noses and stayed away.
Even Lu Jiuzhang had to lift up a corner of his clothes and cover his nose to get closer.
But Zhou Cheng didn't seem to care. He didn't take any measures and used a branch to pull the body away.
"This corpse belongs to Xiong Xiazi, who can be regarded as the absolute overlord among the old forest."
Zhou Cheng said slowly.
"You mean, it's strange that it died here?"
Lu Jiuzhang asked rhetorically.
"In the deep mountains and old forests, hunters will take a detour when they see a blind bear. If you exclude the human factor, who else can kill a blind bear?" Zhou Cheng asked rhetorically.
"Is it possible that there is a monster behind it?" Lu Jiuzhang guessed, "Having become a monster, it is naturally not something Xiong Xiong can deal with."
"It makes sense, but there are big loopholes. If you understand monsters, you can understand their nature." Zhou Cheng said, "Monsters usually attack to eat, and after eating, they will return to their habitat.
