Long Chen returned to the place he had marked. Suddenly his expression changed and he hurried forward. He saw a mess in front of him, hundreds of feet in radius were razed to the ground.
The earth is criss-crossed with ravines, some of which are several miles long, and there is still a terrible pressure everywhere.
"There was a war here," Tang Wan'er said in surprise as she looked at the ground.
Long Chen's face was gloomy: "It seems that someone attacked Xiaoxue."
He reached out and touched a spot on the ground. The area was bright red, obviously eroded by blood. Long Chen could smell Xiaoxue's breath from the blood stains.
"There are ravines here. Some places should have been cut by sword energy, not monsters. But who would take action against Xiaoxue?" Tang Wan'er said doubtfully.
It stands to reason that this is not the boundary of the other courtyard, and no strong person from the other courtyard will take action. If it is not a person from the other courtyard, then it should be someone from outside.
But around Xuantian Courtyard, there is no human habitation within a radius of more than 100,000 miles, so no strong person will come here at all.
As Xiaoxue is the king of the third-level monsters, even if it is only at the early stage of the third level, ordinary Yijin realm experts would not dare to attack it rashly. Those who dare to attack Xiaoxue must be those at the mid-level Yijin realm or above.
Long Chen had a gloomy face and took a few steps forward. He found a few more blood stains and a few footprints.
"The person who attacked Xiaoxue was not one person, but three people." Looking at the footprints on the ground, Long Chen gritted his teeth and said.
At this time, Long Chen was extremely anxious. Xiaoxue would never take the initiative to attack others. Xiaoxue might be in danger.
Suddenly, Long Chen ran forward for several miles and found a huge pit. In the pit, there were many marks of wolf claws.
"Xiaoxue is here, subdued. She should be restrained by something like a fishing net." Long Chen took a deep breath and tried to calm down, but he felt that he couldn't do it at all. His voice began to tremble, and at the same time he had murderous intent.
It spreads out unconsciously, making people shudder.
Tang Wan'er comforted her softly: "They captured Xiaoxue alive, which means that Xiaoxue's life will not be in danger in a short time. They probably took a fancy to Xiaoxue's talent and wanted to take Xiaoxue as a mount. We still have time."
Long Chen nodded and looked carefully at the marks on the ground: "The incident should have happened two days ago. Let's check the surroundings first to see if we can find any clues."
Tang Wan'er nodded, and the two began to search separately to see if they could find any clues.
After a stick of incense, the two of them searched dozens of miles around. Tang Wan'er shook her head and said they found nothing.
After those people subdued Xiaoxue, they didn't know what tools they used, but they took Xiaoxue away without leaving any traces.
"Long Chen, what did you gain?" Tang Wan'er asked.
Long Chen spread his big hands, and there was a piece of cloth in his palm. It was a rag: "It was done by people from other courtyards, the law enforcers."
Tang Wan'er was startled. She looked at the piece of cloth carefully and found that it was a rag from a cuff, with half of the law enforcer's mark on it.
"Let's go, I want to see who is so brave."
Long Chen's eyes were filled with murderous intent. This time, Long Chen was really angry. Someone actually had an idea for Xiaoxue. This made him even more angry than stabbing him.
After Long Chen returned to the other courtyard, he returned directly to his cave and gathered all the practicing disciples.
Let them all go out and find out how many people have left the other courtyard these days, or whether they have behaved strangely.
At the same time, Ye Zhiqiu, Song Mingyuan, Li Qi, and Luo Cang were notified, and their men were asked to do their best to investigate.
Because they also have disciples who go out and do tasks, and they may be able to see or hear something.
The most important thing is that some disciples will be responsible for patrolling the surrounding areas, and they may be able to know something.
Xiaoxue has been following him since he was as big as a palm, just like his own child. He can't bear this happening.
"Senior Brother Long Chen, there is someone outside looking for you." Suddenly a disciple ran in panting.
Long Chen was overjoyed, thinking there was news about Xiaoxue. Just as he was about to speak, a familiar voice suddenly came:
"Why are you so annoying? I want to see my Brother Long, don't stop me."
He didn't yell deliberately, but the sound was like a loud bell, making people's ear drums roar, and the voice was full of dissatisfaction.
Long Chen couldn't help but be overjoyed when he heard the voice, and hurried out of the cave, only to see a dozen disciples blocking one person.
The man was over ten feet tall, with a burly build, and his muscles were bulging high, like an iron tower, like a volcano, full of explosive power.
Carrying a huge mace on his back, the place where he holds it is as thick as a human thigh, and the head of the mace is no different than a water tank.
When a person stood there, it was like a fierce god descending from the earth, with overwhelming momentum. Although the dozen disciples surrounded him, their faces were a little pale, and they were obviously frightened by the momentum on that person.
Tang Wan'er was also shocked. It was the first time she saw that there was such a terrifying person in this world. He was much taller than Lei Qianshang. His arms were as thick as buckets and his blood was so frightening.
, like a wild beast.
"Aman"
Long Chen looked at the giant man in front of him with some disbelief. That man was Aman who had been separated for a long time.
When Long Chen shouted, Aman, who was still shouting with the dozen or so people, quickly turned around, saw Long Chen and couldn't help but roared, and rushed towards Long Chen.
This shocked everyone, thinking that he was going to do something bad to Long Chen, but Long Chen rushed towards Ah Man with joy.
The two hugged each other tightly, and Aman even shed tears: "Brother Long, Aman finally sees you."
"Good brother, don't cry. Didn't we agree that no matter how much blood is shed, we won't cry?" Even though he said this, Long Chen couldn't help but choke up.
Ah Man is just like his biological brother. In this other courtyard with no emotional world, the sudden reunion is even more touching.
Aman quickly wiped his tears and said with a simple and honest face: "Yeah, Aman listens to you."
After seeing each other for several months, Aman was still as honest and honest as ever. Long Chen patted Aman's thick arm and couldn't help but feel shocked.
Today's Aman is a whole circle bigger than before, his muscles are almost bursting, and his energy and blood are more terrifying than that of a third-level monster.
"Brothers, don't be nervous. Ah Man is my brother. Let's all disperse." After Long Chen finished speaking, he took Ah Man into his cave.
I introduced Aman to Tang Waner and Qingyu, and they were extremely uncomfortable with it at first. Aman looked too scary, like a giant, and put too much pressure on people.
It felt like he could turn people into meat pies with just a wave of his hand, but later I saw that Aman was always very honest and honest, so I gradually got used to it.
"Aman, how have you been lately?" Long Chen asked.
When they arrived at the other courtyard, Long Chen asked Tu Fang about A Man. At that time, Tu Fang only said that A Man had gone out with someone, but he never said where he went.
"I'm fine. I go out with the old man and eat well every day." Ah Man scratched his head and said very satisfied.
"Who is the old man?" Long Chen couldn't help but ask.
"Oh, he seemed to have told me what his name was, but I can't remember it. He told me to call him Master," Ah Man shook his head.
"Are you becoming a disciple?" Long Chen was delighted. If he became a disciple of a powerful elder, Ah Man would be very lucky.
There was a powerful elder who gave him a small treatment. No wonder his body turned out to be so strong. It seems that this is the legendary saying that fools are blessed with fools.
Tang Wan'er and Qing Yu were also shocked. They must know that other courtyards have strict sect rules, and ordinary-level elders are not allowed to directly accept disciples, which breaks the fairness of competition among disciples.
If an elder wants to accept a disciple, he must get the nod from the head of the family, and those who can be accepted as a disciple are not allowed to participate in the competition, and are funded by the elder alone.
However, it was really weird that he could even forget his master's name. Tang Wan'er and Qing Yu couldn't help but have strange expressions on their faces.
"Well, the old man said that if I worship him as my teacher, I will never go hungry! He is indeed good to me. I eat well every day." Ah Man nodded.
At this time, Tang Wan'er finally couldn't help but interjected: "Is your wish that simple? As long as you can eat enough?"
"Yes, I was scared of hunger when I was a child. If Brother Long hadn't taken me in, I would have starved to death. As long as I can eat enough, I will be satisfied," Ah Man said with a simple smile.
Long Chen smiled slightly. The reason Tang Wan'er was surprised was because she didn't know how terrible Ah Man's appetite was.
"Let me check your body"
Long Chen put his big hand on Ah Man's shoulder, and used his soul power to detect it. He was surprised to find that the cells in Ah Man's body were now activated by nearly 30%.
Moreover, some strange things began to appear in Ah Man's blood, like small tadpoles, but each tadpole was different, as if they were a kind of rune.
But those runes were actually alive, swimming around in his blood.
On those tadpole-shaped runes, Long Chen felt a terrifying pressure, as if every rune carried the energy of destroying the world.
Although it is still in its embryonic form, it already possesses terrifying coercion. It is like a lion cub, only the size of a puppy in appearance, but it will grow into a terrifying lion king in the future.
The runes in Aman's body made Long Chen feel very scared. In the future, he would definitely grow up to be not only a lion king, but also a wild beast.
For some reason, Long Chen's mind suddenly flashed back to the beast he had fought against in his dream with a strong man who also used the Nine-Star Hegemony Technique.
Long Chen couldn't help but be surprised, could Aman grow to be as powerful as that beast in the future?
Long Chen will never forget the battle scene in that dream. A punch shattered the void, and stars fell with a roar. It was simply a world-destroying power.
If that's true, what is Aman's background to be so terrifying?
Long Chen asked Aman about his recent living situation, and Aman said that he followed the old man to hunt and eat meat every day.
If he can beat him, he will beat him. If he can't beat him, the old man will help him. He will ensure that he has enough meat every day.
"Aman, how much meat do you eat a day?" Tang Wan'er finally felt something was wrong and asked the keyword.
"For third-level monsters, the bigger ones, eat three of them a day. For fourth-level monsters, one is enough," Ah Man said honestly.
Tang Wan'er and Sapphire's hands lightly covered their cherry lips, and their beautiful eyes were full of horror. They ate three third-level monsters in one day, and they had to be bigger. They could actually eat fourth-order monsters, which were on the same level as the elders.
existence.
"Senior Brother Long Chen, we have heard about Xiaoxue."
Suddenly a disciple ran in and said breathlessly to Long Chen. Long Chen immediately stood up, murderous intent emerging from his eyes.
