It was already late at night, and all the villagers had fallen asleep. In the dark night, the only sound was the sound of Mu Zhanbei and his party stepping on the snow.
Shiling Village looked particularly desolate in the heavy snow.
Avoiding the villagers' houses and taking a little more road, we finally arrived outside the village chief's courtyard.
The yard was dark. Mu Zhanbei turned to look at Han Xin. His eyes blurred, and Han Xin's figure disappeared in front of him. When he discovered it, Han Xin was groping towards the village chief's house.
After Han Xin completed his investigation outside the village chief's house, he immediately returned to Mu Zhanbei.
"Not in the house!" After returning, Han Xin said directly to Mu Zhanbei with a very firm tone.
"Come in!"
Without hesitation, Mu Zhanbei said directly to the twelve people, today we are here to solve the village chief's matter, there is no need to delay.
In the face of absolute strength, all plots are ineffective. Mu Zhanbei believes in Han Xin's strength.
Pushing open the door of the house directly, Han Xin entered first. Mu Zhanbei was guarded by the king's soldiers. It was not until Han Xin entered and gave a signal that Mu Zhanbei entered the house with eleven people.
Turning on the lights, the house was still the same as the last time I came here, without any change, but the figure of the village chief was not in the house.
At this time, Mu Zhanbei turned to look at Han Xin. Since Han Xin sensed that there was a space underneath, there must be a mechanism in the room.
Mu Zhanbei didn't find it. The village chief, who usually didn't like to go out, dug an underground secret room in his house.
After receiving instructions from Mu Zhanbei, Han Xin took action, while ten king soldiers guarded every corner of the house. He Wu stood behind Mu Zhanbei, protecting Mu Zhanbei.
Little by little, Han Xin checked carefully and eliminated them one by one. When he reached the edge of the stone bed, Han Xin stopped.
Touching the stone bed with his hand, Han Xin suddenly exerted force and saw that the stone bed was pushed away and a hole appeared.
"Lord, it should be here, the leaking spiritual energy fluctuations are correct." Looking at the dark entrance of the cave, not knowing where it leads, Han Xin said to Mu Zhanbei.
When something happened, Mu Zhanbei hurried forward and walked to the entrance of the cave. As soon as he started to use his spiritual energy to feel it, Mu Zhanbei was already a little sure that this was the right place.
Because the aura leaking out of the hole was so similar to the aura on He Wu's wound, could this be the demonic aura generated by the demon Han Xin said?
"Leave five people to guard here, and the rest will go in here." Pointing to the entrance of the cave, Mu Zhanbei gave the order directly.
After finishing speaking, he took the only oil lamp in the house and shined it into the cave.
It is more than two meters deep. After going down, there are steps. The entrance of the passage is not made into steps, probably to facilitate the stone bed to assist the entrance. After all, it is made into steps, and the stone bed cannot block the entrance of the cave at all.
Han Xin took the lead and jumped down, followed closely by Mu Zhanbei. He saw that the steps were all paved with stones. This was a big project. I don’t know when the village chief had it completed.
In his memory, Mu Zhanbei was not an original resident of Shiling Village. When he was nine years old, he fled with his family and came to Shiling Village. However, the village chief was there at that time and accepted them.
At that time, there were only a dozen households in Shiling Village, and the rest gradually joined Shiling Village.
However, there were many victims who fled to Shiling Village, but Shiling Village has always maintained more than 100 households. Those who came later either stayed for one night and then left, or disappeared without a trace. The predecessor was still young at the time, and he was blind to the village chief.
Admiration, no doubt at all. Now looking through the memories of his predecessor, Mu Zhanbei discovered a lot of suspicious things.
Everyone walked very lightly, and the steps were very long. Mu Zhanbei felt that he had walked seven or eight hundred meters, but it was still a step, and he didn't know how long it would be until the end.
As he continued to go deeper, the aura of He Wu's wound became more and more obvious, making Mu Zhanbei feel uncomfortable all over.
Just after Mu Zhanbei walked for an unknown amount of time, Han Xin at the front stopped and raised his hand to signal.
"We're almost there, lord." There were still steps in front of him, but Han Xin stopped, and he must have noticed something. The level of cultivation and perception of Silver Star 2 is not comparable to that of Bronze Level.
Slowing down, Mu Zhanbei walked down step by step with a humble and developmental mentality. After a while, a trace of light appeared in the passage in front, and Han Xin blew out the oil lamp in his hand.
Almost there!
Seeing the light in front of him, Mu Zhanbei felt excited. The doubts that had been lingering in his heart for so long were finally answered.
The large number of people can easily scare the enemy, so the five King soldiers who came down stopped. Mu Zhanbei walked forward with only Han Xin and He Wu.
When we walked to the bright light, the scene in front of us finally changed. It was no longer a staircase, but an underground space of four to five hundred square meters appeared in our eyes, and the scene inside made Mu Zhanbei feel incredible.
Dozens of people were tied to the ground and scattered around randomly, and in the middle, there was a pool of blood, with human bones all around the pool.
At this time, the man sitting cross-legged in the blood pool was officially the village chief.
Looking at the people who were tied up, Mu Zhanbei scanned them one by one. Most of them were villagers from Shiling Village, including villagers who had become Bronze One Star. Mu Zhanbei also found Uncle Liu San in a corner and asked him to
I felt excited in my heart.
However, Uncle Liu was in very bad condition at this time, his face was pale, and he felt even weaker than when he was injured at Shiwandashan.
Sure enough, there was something wrong. Looking at the human bones around the blood pool and the people who were tied up, Mu Zhanbei immediately understood what was going on. He didn't find that the village chief actually used the villagers' blood to practice martial arts.
Only demons would do this. The monster knew that Han Xin said that the village chief sensed the demonic energy, and what He Wu suffered, the aura could not stop.
Demonic energy and spiritual energy are inherently incompatible. The village chief's cultivation level is much higher than that of He Wu and Mu Zhanbei, and their thin bronze two-star spiritual energy is of no use at all.
The village chief must have reached a critical juncture in his cultivation. His body sitting cross-legged in blood was surrounded by black energy, and Mu Zhanbei and the others were not aware of it at all.
As for the tied people, except for the unconscious and conscious ones, regardless of their posture, they all looked at the village chief in the blood pool with hatred and fear in their eyes, but no one dared to get close to the blood pool.
After observing the situation, Mu Zhanbei patted Han Xin, then slowly retreated, returned to the five king soldiers, and took a long breath. The main smell made him very uncomfortable. Looking at He Wu, Mu Zhan
Bei was a little confused. The two of them had similar cultivation levels now, so why did He Wu not feel this way?
"If we launch a sneak attack, will it be successful?" After recovering, Mu Zhanbei whispered to Han Xin.
Although Han Xin's cultivation level is very high, this is the village chief's territory, so I don't know if there is any back-up plan.
"Lord, there should be a formation next to the blood pool, but it's not very powerful. If you don't pay attention, I'm 80% sure." After thinking about it, Han Xin said with certainty.
Eighty percent, in the case of a sneak attack, it was not 100% successful. Mu Zhanbei frowned.
"General Han, I'm sorry to trouble you. If there is any danger, please return quickly. With the help of a few of us, the danger may be less."
In the end, Mu Zhanbei decided to let Han Xin give it a try. The king's soldiers and his own cultivation level were too low. If he was not careful, he might be handed over to the village chief.
After receiving Mu Zhanbei's order, Han Xin held the spear in his hand and thought about returning to the village chief, while Mu Zhanbei and others stood there, waiting for news.
