The clouds are soaked in red light, and the full sun leaps over the mountains.
"How are you recovering? The road ahead is not going to be easy." Lu Chen looked at the red sun and held the handle of the knife at his waist. "It's time to set off."
"Ahem, I've only recovered 40%." Liu Feng looked bitter and sighed: "It's all because the trickster was too cruel and beat me to death."
"I'm 60%." Xu Yan replied, stood up, his expression was extremely solemn in the morning light.
If Ding Yu hadn't brought in the reinforcements, they would have been dead. He was the deputy commander of the Zhigui Division and a great expert in the bloodline realm.
"Captain, should I say anything, I'm so scared right now..." Liu Feng frowned and sighed, "Normally I don't dare to look directly at him, but now I actually want to be his enemy."
"He is no longer your boss, he is a monster from the Celestial God Sect." Lu Chen walked out of the room and stood in the warm sunshine, "And our duty is to kill these bastards."
Along the quiet muddy road, the three of them headed towards the entrance of the village. Liu Feng suddenly shouted, "Captain, look quickly."
In the light mist, on the flat ground at the entrance of the village, the villagers were kneeling on the ground. Li Shui Niu looked over with tears of gratitude, "Master Lu has eliminated demons and defended the road. The villagers of Heishui Village are very grateful."
"Thank you, Mr. Lu, for saving your life."
"Thank you, Mr. Lu..."
The thanks came one after another, and their faces were filled with shame. One woman's eyes were red, and she quickly wiped away her tears secretly.
Under the pressure of the strange groom, they all live in fear. Even if the policemen in the city come to rescue them, they can't believe that they can solve the strange groom.
But everyone saw what happened last night. It was Lord Lu who saved the entire village of Heishui Village by killing the treacherous groom.
Li Shui Niu slapped himself a few times and said angrily: "I am so obsessed that I don't believe in these adults. Only now do I know that you are the master."
"The matter has been resolved, it's time for us to leave." Lu Chen looked at Li Shui Niu, "It's your responsibility, but I hope you remember it and try your best to cooperate with the actions of the Zhigui Division."
"We will definitely keep Mr. Lu's words in mind."
Li Shui Niu led the villagers to stand up and eagerly grabbed Lu Chen's hand, "Why don't you stay a few more days? We haven't repaid you properly yet."
"I have to go back and report the situation, thank you very much." Lu Chen cupped his hands and walked straight forward.
The crowd immediately separated, and with people's enthusiastic thanks, the three of them left Heishui Village and hurried towards Maotou Mountain.
After leaving Heishui Village, Lu Shen hurried on his way, "We can't put all our hopes on Ding Yu and take a detour to return."
He tapped the tree trunk with his toes, like a nimble tiger swooping down, quickly running through the lush mountain forest.
Liu Feng walked at the front and led the way, avoiding the road he came from and choosing a more remote mountain road to hide the traces of the team as much as possible.
In the dark mountain forest, the team fell into silence, and everyone was on their way with solemn expressions. This trip returned to Zhiguai Division, and it would be best if they could avoid Hu Yue.
After walking for about two hours through the rolling mountains, the scorching sun released its rays and scorched everything. The road sank and they stopped, and they came to a river valley.
Both Liu Feng and Xu Yan looked a little pale, sweating profusely and panting. They instinctively pressed the wound location, which seemed to consume a lot of energy.
"Stop and rest for a moment, Liu Feng, where are we now?" Lu Chen looked at the two people who were in extremely poor condition, and said in his heart that their fear of Hu Yue was deeply rooted in their bones.
Even though he was getting weaker due to the rush, he didn't dare to let him stop and rest. He seemed to just want to rush back to Zhigui Division as soon as possible.
Liu Feng collapsed on the ground, wiped the sweat from his brow, and said in a trembling voice: "It is thirty miles away from Maotou Mountain. If you continue along the river, you can reach Liangshan County."
Xu Yan took a sip of river water, washed his face, shook his head and said, "We can't let down our guard yet. It's only safe to rush back to Zhigui Division."
"No, I'm going to die from exhaustion." Liu Feng fell to the ground, "Captain, we have erased all traces along the way. We shouldn't be found."
Lu Chen looked at the winding river. The water was so clear that it only reached the ankles. "I don't rule out that he has tracking experts under his command. Let's set off after a good rest."
"I want a drink of water." Liu Feng lay down by the river and was about to drink water when he saw that the water seemed to be boiling, blood was pouring out, and a bloody hand pierced the surface of the river.
The strong smell of blood spread across the surface, Liu Feng's pupils quickly dilated, and he saw a blood claw suddenly shot out, grabbing his cheek hard.
The sharp nails were about to touch his eyeballs, and with a bang, Lu Chen crushed his bloody claws and looked upstream of the river, where several figures were quietly appearing.
"Hu, Commander Hu!" Xu Yan looked pale and subconsciously held the saber.
Lu Chen stood in front of the two of them and looked at the people approaching in front, his eyes becoming sharp.
There were three people on the river looking over jokingly. They were wearing colorful robes, and they all had strange features on their bodies.
The man on the left has blood-red palms, a tiger's mouth with white eyes, and the man in the middle is spitting out letters, and his body is covered with green snake scales.
As for the man on the far right, he is a short man with black horns on his head and a face like an ape.
The man with the bloody claws said with a smile: "Master Hu, this is a member of the Zhiguai Department. Logically, you have to pay more."
On the large stone on the other side of the river, stood a figure in a red cloak. He took off his hood and said jokingly: "Kill them, and the reward is not a problem."
Lu Chen looked at the figure. It was Hu Yue, the deputy commander of the Zhiguai Department!
After saying that, he looked at Lu Chen again and said, "You are really a good boy. Are you satisfied with the show specially arranged for you?"
Xu Yan's expression turned ugly when he saw the three blood shadows, "The three brothers of the Xiong family are the felons wanted by the Zhiguai Department. Each of them has the strength of the ninth level of blood!"
"They killed many brothers. They are cult monsters. They like to combine ordinary people with weird things." Liu Feng clenched his sword.
"Since I know our names, I'm too lazy to do anything. I'll just kill myself." The green-skinned man licked the snake letter, his eyes full of cruelty.
Lu Shen paid no attention to these three people, looked at Hu Yue and asked, "I don't know your secret at all, why bother to take action?"
"Do you think I will believe you?" Hu Yue's eyes were cold. "You are always a threat. I won't rest assured if you don't solve this disaster."
At this point, his eyes darkened and he sneered, "But I didn't expect that you would have such talent. Not only could you defeat Hu Chongshan, but you could even kill the trickster.
"It is because of you, a little beast, that I have to abandon my identity of running the business for several years."
"Ding Yu has already gone to inform the two commanders. You still have time to escape now." Liu Feng looked at Hu Yue and said with disdain: "You are actually connected with the three brothers of the Xiong family. Are you still a human being?!"
"As long as we can achieve our goal, it doesn't matter who we cooperate with." Hu Yue sneered, looking down at Liu Feng, "Don't wait, Ding Yu can no longer protect himself."
Lu Chen held the saber, his energy and blood quietly surging.
"My time is precious, Momojiji, are you going to kill this person or not?!" The green-skinned man raised his eyes and narrowed his eyes, spitting out a letter and looking at Hu Yue.
"Of course I have to kill him, but..." Hu Yue curled his lips and glanced sideways at the three Xiong brothers, "It's not you who kill him."
"What the hell do you mean?" The green-skinned man's face changed slightly, and he felt a hint of conspiracy.
At this time, the river surface trembled violently, and snow-white waves appeared. Under the feet of the three Xiong brothers, the ground suddenly cracked, scattering the water spray all over the sky.
"It's not a scam!" The green-skinned man sensed the extremely strong danger and quickly retreated, "If there is an ambush, retreat quickly."
The hot waves evaporated into white mist, and an extremely burly figure blocked the way of the green-skinned man. With a fierce look in his eyes, he pulled away and kicked the man in the head.
boom!
The green-scaled man's expression changed drastically. He struck with all his strength, but the opponent's figure was not even shaken. His whole body felt as if he had fallen into a swamp.
The man grabbed his ankle and exerted force with his palm. He heard the harsh sound of bone cracking. He jumped forward and an iron mountain hit the green-scaled man's chest.
Tsk... Scarlet blood was thrown away, the green-scaled man's chest was sunken, his back suddenly bulged, and the vitality in his wide-open eyes gradually disappeared.
It wasn't until this moment that he saw the person clearly.
His green skin was covered with mucous membranes, resembling a humanoid lizard. His long and thick tail curled up around his neck, and his two pairs of vertical eyes exuded a sense of madness.
There was just a click, and the green-skinned man's neck was broken, and he could not die anymore. It was only then that he saw the man's appearance clearly.
It was a huge humanoid lizard, as big as a hill, and it made a crazy low roar.
"Brother!"
"Damn beast!"
The remaining two brothers shouted in grief, and immediately attacked in a staggered manner, trying to surround and kill this damn lizard spirit.
Tsk...the sharp claws broke open the blood-clawed man's chest and tore him alive.
The short man wailed heartbreakingly, "Let go of my second brother."
He cut off his right arm, turned it into a streak of blood a foot long, and slashed the lizard man's neck. There was a sound, the lizard man shook his head, and there were shallow blood marks on his neck.
The short man's expression changed drastically. This was his life-saving blow, but it only left a light trace of blood?
His expression changed, and he pulled away to escape. The lizard man disappeared and pierced the man's chest with one blow, taking out his heart and eating it clean.
In just a moment, he killed the three Xiong brothers and swallowed their hearts, showing an intoxicated expression.
Then, the lizard man with blood on his face looked at Lu Chen and showed an extremely cruel smile, "Lu Chen, I finally found you!"
When he saw the lizard man's face clearly and heard the familiar voice, Lu Chen was a little surprised, "Are you Hu Chongshan?"
"If you weren't such a bastard, why should I fuse the heart of the ghost lizard? I'm going to kill you, kill you!" Hu Chongshan turned his body, his thick tail raising water splashes all over the sky. His expression was crazy and full of anger.
The terrifying power caused the river surface to shake, and water filled the sky like rain.
Hu Yue looked at his masterpiece with satisfaction and smiled at Lu Chen: "This is what I have prepared for you. He will kill you and eat your heart."
