The seemingly normal inquiry could not be hidden from the attentive Tian Jihong, and he clearly felt the sourness in Wang Hong's tone. But now is not the time to get entangled with him. Tianjihong is still counting on Wang Hong to help find the whereabouts of the Dark Abyss Jiao.
"Uncle Wang thinks too highly of me. You know I only know a little bit about boxing and kicking. Those two guys underestimated the enemy so they were lucky to be defeated by me. In terms of strength, I am far inferior to you." Tianjihong replied. .
"Hmph, what's so impressive about you kid? You've been stuck in Yijin Realm for several years. Look at Xiaohong, who is the real cultivation genius. He's older than you and me. Both of them are young, and within a few days of practicing, they already have strength that far exceeds that of you and me. It would be a waste not to study with a teacher for such talents!" Lin Rong has always been uncomfortable with Wang Hong's smug look. Reveal the truth.
"Oh? Is this kid really that powerful? Could it be that I really misjudged him?" Wang Hong carefully looked at Tianjihong who was half a head shorter than him in front of him, and there was still a hint of doubt in his tone.
Seeing that something was wrong between the two of them, Tianjihong quickly interrupted: "Okay, okay, let's get down to business. Just now, Uncle Wang, you mentioned the two gangsters. It seems that they were captured by you and brought back to the village?"
"Well, we are locking these two guys in the abandoned barn in the north. When they wake up, Village Chief Huai and I will interrogate them personally. I heard from Shopkeeper Lin that you think they are from the Longsheng Caravan. , but is that true?" Wang Hong asked.
"That's right, the Longsheng caravan couldn't defraud our village of the high commission, so it got angry and secretly attacked the people we arranged to go to Dongsheng Town. Brother Rong and I just escaped from that Gan Biao by luck. of."
"Hmph, I really didn't expect these guys to be like this. After I heard what Shopkeeper Lin said, I was worried that they would come to retaliate, so I quickly put up defenses at the entrance of the village. I mentioned this matter to the head of Huai Village at the beginning Leave it to me, now my breakthrough is imminent, as long as you give me one or two more days to break through to the Yijin Realm, I won’t even look at the beast that caused trouble!" Wang Hong said angrily and unfairly.
"It seems that you, Uncle Wang, have a thorough understanding of that guy's background, right? The two of us have been analyzing the background of that big guy after hearing a series of things in the village. I heard that Uncle Wang has been assigned to track down this guy these days. The whereabouts of the sea beast. Dare I ask if that thing is really the Dark Abyss Jiao we guessed? And in which corner does that beast usually hide?" Tianjihong asked quickly.
"Well, these past few days have been really frustrating for me. Fortunately, just before I returned to the village after a busy night, I was lucky enough to see that beast. It was just because I didn't have enough manpower to scare the snake away, so I didn't directly Alert this big guy. I was still counting on Xiao Lin and you to invite reinforcements from Dongsheng Town and attack together with them, but now it seems there is no chance." Wang Hong glanced at Lin Rong who looked unconvinced. , with a bit of reproach in his eyes.
"As for the origin of that thing, your analysis is indeed good. Although you can't see its complete appearance at night, I am basically sure that it is a mutated Dark Abyss Jiao. However, its habits are indeed a bit strange to its kind. I don't know why. This dark abyss dragon dares to completely ignore the threat of humans and penetrates to the shore for more than ten miles, and in terms of size, it is far larger than any ordinary dragon."
"It doesn't mean that there is no one bigger than this guy among the Dark Abyss Jiao, but generally speaking, without considering the deliberate transformation, the size and cultivation level of the dragon-like spirit beast are closely related. Those who are taller than this guy have a mutation. The existence of this species is all about high-level cultivation, and the Dark Abyss Jiao of the same level as Yi Jin Realm is often no more than three or two people in size at best. I have never seen such an Dark Abyss Jiao that is as big as half a house. Yes, so we guess that they are mostly mutant species." Wang Hong continued.
"Although I still don't quite understand the reasons for its cruelty and abnormal habits, I can confirm this time that this beast usually hides in a lair only two miles away from Wangri Slope. . You also know that there is a very eye-catching reef area on the seashore in the southeast corner. It was there that I detected traces of the activity of the Dark Abyss Jiao, and then I followed the clues and found the beast's lair. Speaking of which, it is far away. Xiaohong, your home is not too far away, you and Xiaofei should be careful, maybe this big guy’s next target will be you two."
Tianjihong nodded. This time he successfully extracted important information from Wang Hong, and he became more and more confident. "Thank you for reminding me. I actually have such a plan. I will go home quickly now. Brother Lin, please go back to the inn first to see how Uncle Lin is doing. After I settle down Xiao Fei, I will go back to the hotel." I've come to find you. And Uncle Wang, you should also be more careful. Although I don't think Na Ganbiao would choose to retaliate against the village in broad daylight so quickly after his mistake; but now there are two people in his caravan. If it falls into my hands, there's no guarantee that it won't do anything secretly, so you should be careful."
After the three people said goodbye in a hurry, Tianjihong also quickly set foot on the way home. Although he didn't like Wang Hong too much, as a fellow villager, he knew that the other person's reminder was for his own sake, and the information about the Dark Abyss Jiao should not be false. Fortunately, when he said goodbye to his master in the morning, he had left Tianji Fei in the village. Without any worries, Tianjihong could rest assured and think about how to deal with the difficult beast next.
Judging from Tianjihong's increasingly cautious character, he did not intend to attack the beast directly this time. Whether it was the dark abyss dragon's abnormal habits or its own strength, Tianjihong always felt that this matter was not just an ordinary attack, and that he should be more careful in dealing with it. This time, he made an excuse to go home, not because he wanted to use his own strength to take down the beast in one fell swoop, but because he planned to do the same thing as Wang Hong and first investigate to find out its habits and specific location, and then make plans. Take down this big guy.
However, things did not go as smoothly as he expected. Less than a hundred meters away from the hut, Tianjihong's powerful soul perception immediately noticed something was wrong. Looking at the waist-high grass all around, he didn't see anything unusual in his field of vision. However, Tianjihong was particularly certain that his scattered soul consciousness clearly captured the soul within tens of meters of him. Fluctuations in force.
However, what made him feel particularly vigilant was that no matter whether the aura came from humans or spiritual beasts, the other party seemed to have no intention of showing up directly. He stood still for ten minutes with full concentration, but he never waited for any attack from his opponent. Then I thought about it, if it was as Wang Hong said before, the only person nearby who might pose a threat to him was the Dark Abyss Jiao, but the latter's size could not hide in this clear view. Among the plains, let alone the method of concealing the aura from Tianjihong's perception.
Therefore, according to Tianjihong, the opponent is most likely a monk, and judging from the fact that the opponent immediately suppresses his aura after being sensed by his soul, his strength is at least not weaker than his own, and he will definitely not be the best in the village. What people do. For such a stranger who hides in the dark, Tianjihong never believes that the other party is acting in good faith. In his mind, he quickly went through the bandits who were chased by his master and fled deep into the mountains, to Qian Biao who might be using his methods behind his back, and even to the enemies who had a grudge against his parents and might pursue him here.
But ten minutes have passed, and the grass beside him is still as calm as ever. The original fluctuating breath seems to have suddenly disappeared and can no longer be felt. The helpless Tian Jihong understood that in such an empty area, without a clear target and relying solely on the naked eye, it would be impossible to distinguish the opponent's movements among the tall grass. Therefore, he had no choice but to give up. While monitoring the plants and trees around him with extra vigilance, he cautiously walked toward the door of his familiar home.
The moment he stepped into the house, Tian Jihong breathed a sigh of relief and quickly walked into the house and locked the door. Although this simple house cannot be expected to defend against attacks from monks, at least the familiar environment gives him enough space to hide and escape, allowing him to have room to deal with potential enemies.
However, after Tian Jihong looked around the room, he keenly noticed something was wrong in the air. He knew every brick and tile in his home, and he soon saw from clues that his home seemed to have been set foot in by strangers. Although the other party seemed to have deliberately wiped away the traces of his arrival, for Tianjihong, who had lived here for two full years, this method obviously did not work.
Now Tianjihong felt more and more that the other party was not a good person, and the aura he sensed just now was probably the work of the same stranger who broke into the house. The other party must have been caught by him when he left. The one who got away. But what makes Tianjihong feel puzzled is that the opponent obviously cannot be inferior to him in strength, so why does he do such sneaky things? If it was as he feared most, and he was the enemy of his father and mother, then with his cultivation level, it would be just a matter of a few clicks to directly kill him.
Fortunately, after careful inspection, Tian Jihong was satisfied to see that he had hidden the treasures left by his parents for a rainy day, as well as important objects symbolizing their identities, in corners or cellars that were extremely difficult to find. , and there was no trace of being found by the other party. After some inspection, the house was quiet and it didn't seem like someone was ambushing him. Only the Rabbit and Rat King who was tightly tied up in the backyard was whimpering.
