He has already entered the Great Luo Realm and wants to help others conceal the secrets of heaven. He does not have the ability and does not think he can do this.
If his guess is true, then there is really a powerful person behind the tentacle monster who helps him hide the secret...
There is a great possibility that he is not the opponent of the unknown powerful one.
Generally speaking, a strong man at that level would not take action casually. Maybe the existence helped the tentacle monster cover up the secret because he had some calculations in this matter.
If Jiang You takes action against the tentacle monster, who knows, he might spoil the plan of the man behind the scenes and cause huge trouble for himself.
It’s okay not to think about many things in detail. The more you think about them and the deeper you think about them, the more troublesome they become.
This is exactly what Jiang You is now.
"Lord City Lord, my Armor Pushing Magic Technique can't figure out the origin of that tentacle monster at all. How should we deal with this situation now?"
Rubbing his head from time to time, Jiang You's frowning expression fell into Jiang Mei's eyes. He hesitated for a while, then tentatively opened his mouth and asked.
In this city lord's palace, his status is second only to Jiang You, and he can barely be regarded as the second most important figure.
Since the Armor Pushing Technique was useless, he naturally had no choice but to ask Jiang You for his opinion on how to handle the matter.
"As the Lord of Mangshan City, I do not allow any existence that is not under my control to appear on my territory. This is my responsibility!"
"In the past, when we dealt with similar incidents, we would only have these two options: expel them or directly kill them."
"Since that tentacle monster has appeared in Mangshan City and is devouring ghosts, we want to pretend not to know and do nothing about it, but it will definitely not work!"
"Considering that this monster may have a big background and origin, let's not act rashly for the time being. Let's find out his specific whereabouts first!"
"After I find out where he is hiding, maybe I will go there in person, explain the facts to him, and persuade him to leave Mangshan City on his own initiative!"
…
Jiang You had already stood up, his brows furrowed, and he paced back and forth in the area directly in front of the living room for a long time.
Finally, he stopped and made a decision in his heart. He turned around, looked at Jiang Mei who was waiting quietly, and gave instructions.
"That's fine. I'm going to tell the guys below not to mobilize troops and go to the West District secretly first!"
"When we get there, we mainly focus on investigation. If possible, try not to do anything."
"We have to find out the specific whereabouts of the tentacle monster and have them come back to the city lord's mansion as soon as possible and report to you, sir!"
Jiang Mei nodded, and after leaving a few words, his body escaped directly into the earth and disappeared.
…
In the West District, there is a mansion that has been renamed Chen's Manor.
With Zhang Jin leading the way, Chen Hai wandered around this area for several hours. At this moment, he had only returned to the wing for less than half an hour.
"I have basically visited all the top ten major trading houses in the West District, but this harvest..."
Taking out some yellowish animal skin maps, Chen Hai looked at them carefully several times. He was speechless and burned the maps to ashes.
….
More than 90% of the human races living in Mangshan City have lived in the city all their lives and have no idea what is going on outside the city.
Compared with ordinary people, those large trading houses were relatively well-informed, and the maps in their hands only mapped out the scenery of hundreds of miles around the city.
Wherever there are mountains, valleys, and rivers, monsters are easier to hunt...
Whether it was the map or the numerous information obtained from the managers of the trading houses, they might be of some use to the ordinary people living in the city, but in Chen Hai's eyes, they were of no value at all.
After all, he was looking for the map not to hunt monsters near the city, but to leave Mangshan City and find the general route back to the Ximan Mountains.
But now, those business managers who claim to be well-informed actually don't even know that the land where Mangshan City is located belongs to Zhanzhou in the south.
Faced with this situation, how could Chen Hai expect to get anything useful to him from them?
"The strategy pursued in Mangshan City is to fool the people. Whatever the official said is what it says. Ordinary people who want to know more are not qualified at all!"
"If we want to get a map from the city and figure out the rough route back to the border of the Western Man Mountains, we have to think long and hard about it."
"Compared to ordinary people, the City Lord's Mansion must know more things. Maybe, if I want to get the map, I have to fall on them!"
With a look of helplessness, Chen Hai sighed and said with emotion.
However, he thought so. Without knowing anything about the strength of the City Lord's Mansion, it would definitely not be appropriate for him to venture there rashly.
"Since Mangshan City belongs to Mingdi, the city lord's palace must also be a force under Mingdi!"
"Those ghosts who died in my hands last night, even if they do not belong to the City Lord's Mansion, there is definitely some relationship between them."
"Otherwise, these ghosts will kill everyone in Mangshan City every few years, and the city lord's palace will not ignore it and have no reaction!"
"So many ghosts have died in my hands. The limelight may be a bit tight these days. I'd better stay in my house and meditate in seclusion!"
"As for getting the map from the City Lord's Mansion, it's not too late to consider this after the storm has passed!"
As soon as the thought came to his mind, Chen Hai thought to himself.
On the big wooden bed in the wing room, he sat cross-legged. After leaving a few rays of mental alert around him, he began to slowly immerse himself in cultivation.
"What's going on? Why do I feel that there are some unknown existences that are constantly traveling under the ground?"
Immersed in the practice, it seemed that not long had passed before Chen Hai suddenly woke up again.
He lightly jumped off the wooden bed and walked to the window on the left side of the wing.
The moonlight outside was hazy, and I don’t know when, but the thick darkness of night had already enveloped the world.
Having already entered the realm of Golden Immortal, his five senses have been sharpened to the extreme.
In addition to feeling that there were creatures traveling under the nearby land from time to time, he even felt black shadows coming out of the ground and walking back and forth in the nearby area, as if they were searching for something!
The only thing that made Chen Hai feel lucky was that he didn't hear any screams reaching his ears.
It seems that under the cover of night, those black shadows that can travel underground, although they are scurrying back and forth, do not go on a killing spree to kill ordinary people.
Otherwise, Chen Hai was really worried that he would be unable to control himself and attack those black figures again.
"The reason why those dark shadows are scurrying around in the night is probably searching for traces of the tentacle monster that slaughtered the ghosts last night!"
"But this has nothing to do with me. After all, I, Chen Hai, am just an ordinary human being with pure blood!"
"As long as they don't disturb me, I'll continue to practice quietly!"
After standing near the window lattice and observing for a while, and confirming that the black shadows were not directed at him, Chen Hai returned to the big wooden bed and began to practice cross-legged again.
Like me, I rely on blind practice to practice Taoism
