The rain was getting heavier and heavier, threatening to get out of control. Seeing this, Su Chen did not intend to stay in the mountains.
Such rain can easily cause natural disasters, and since this is in the mountains, the chances of it happening are infinitely higher.
"Um?"
Walking out of the mountain road, Su Chen saw a village in front of him, about a hundred feet away.
There are spirits in the mountains causing evil and wreaking havoc, but there is a village no more than a hundred feet away.
But as I got closer, I realized that this village had been abandoned for a long time, and some of the simple houses had collapsed.
He walked to a house that seemed to be relatively intact. The missing windows revealed firelight from inside.
His expression moved slightly, and he stepped forward and opened the door.
With a prolonged creaking sound, the wooden door swung open, looking as if it might collapse at any moment.
The moment he opened it, a wave of heat and fire hit his face, and then Su Chen saw four men and three women sitting around the fire, all raising their heads and staring at him.
Two young men were already reaching for the sabers on the side.
However, the only old man among them saw how extraordinary Su Chen was and said with a smile, "My little friend, are you here to take shelter from the rain?"
"It's very humid outside, come and warm yourself up."
The old man smiled kindly and took the initiative to extend the invitation.
Su Chen glanced at him in surprise, nodded slightly, and walked into the room, "Thank you."
Then, he sat directly next to the old man. The young man beside him raised his eyebrows, but you didn't take offense at all.
"Mr. Huang, if you just ask him to sit down like this, are you not afraid of any accidents?"
The young man on the other side of the old man looked at Su Chen with vigilant eyes, then lowered his voice and whispered into the old man's ear.
Upon hearing this, the old man known as Mr. Huang glanced sideways at him, showed a meaningful look, and smiled without saying a word.
But the young man obviously didn't understand what he meant. Seeing no response, he added: "I heard that there are evil spirits here. The people in this village are extinct because of this."
"Mr. Huang, I'm afraid..."
The young man didn't finish what he said, but anyone could understand what he meant.
The old man smiled slightly, but remained silent.
Such an indifferent attitude made the young man very angry. He couldn't help but tighten his hand holding the saber. When facing a person he met for the first time, he had a kind attitude towards him, but he had a completely different attitude towards him.
This contrast made him feel extremely unbalanced. He also felt some resentment towards the old man and turned his head away, out of sight and out of mind.
Although the young man's voice was small, Su Chen heard it, but he didn't care.
Opposite him, the three girls kept scanning Su Chen with curious eyes. They felt that this young man who seemed to be about the same age as them had a strange power that could attract their attention.
But due to the reserve of young girls, they are reluctant to take the initiative. They just blink and look at people covertly.
But they didn't know that even though it was done in an extremely subtle way, Su Chen clearly felt it and just turned a blind eye.
"Brother, you are alone. Aren't you afraid of being in danger when you come to this place?"
The young man who was pushed out of the way by Su Chen asked pretending to be curious.
You can tell there is something wrong here at first glance, but the way you look calm and composed makes it look like there is something wrong with you.
I didn’t know, I thought you were going home.
What's more, it's raining heavily and it's late at night, so we have to be vigilant and take precautions!
Su Chen naturally knew what he was talking about and shook his head disapprovingly, "Even if there is danger, I can suppress it with all my strength."
"Brother, what are you talking about? Suppress it with all your strength. Do you know what dangers there are here?"
The young man who reminded the old man earlier curled his lips and said with a touch of sarcasm: "Even we have to deal with it seriously."
Young man, don’t boast too much, or you won’t be able to take it back.
Su Chen could naturally hear the crowding in their words, but he didn't bother to argue with them. He stood up and walked aside to sit down, closing his eyes and saying nothing.
"Hey, you are quite self-aware."
Seeing this, the young man next to the old man raised his lips, and the corners of his mouth became more sarcastic. He let go of his guard against Su Chen and relaxed a lot. He could bear this, but his strength must not be great.
The three girls had been paying attention to Su Chen, but when they saw him being provoked, they didn't react, and they couldn't help but feel a sense of disappointment in their hearts.
It felt like Su Chen was no longer so attractive in an instant.
The old man glanced at the young man, turned to Su Chen and said with a smile: "Little friend, please don't take it to heart. They are the guards I invited, old man, out of consideration for our safety."
Su Chen opened his eyes slightly, glanced at him, nodded, and then closed his eyes again.
"you!"
When the young man saw Su Chen acting like this, he suddenly felt even more unbalanced. In the past, Mr. Huang was the one who treated others without words. Today, the roles were reversed. It didn’t matter if it was someone else, but in the end, he was still a teenager!
Who can bear it?
I can't stand it!
"Um?"
But just when he was about to have an attack, the old man suddenly turned back and glanced at him with cold eyes.
The young man's hair suddenly stood on end, and a cold feeling rose from the bottom of his heart. The words he wanted to say were stuck in his throat, and he did not dare to say another word.
Although Elder Huang is respected, he is also feared. Only those who know him well enough can know how terrifying this seemingly amiable old man is.
Unfortunately, young people are one of them.
Although he stopped talking, his expression was full of anger, allowing everyone to see that he had not changed his attitude towards Su Chen.
This may be jealousy, after all, when have I ever seen Mr. Huang, who is unpredictable and has a neither salty nor indifferent attitude towards everyone, actually having a gentle attitude towards a young man he has never met before?
The air was filled with silence, except for the crackling sound of firewood, which was eerie.
Time passed, and an hour passed quietly, and the rain outside showed no sign of stopping.
"Um?
Su Chen suddenly opened his eyes and looked in the direction of the mountain. Although there was a wall blocking his sight, his eyes were slightly bright, as if he had penetrated the distance and obstacles and saw what he wanted to see.
In fact, he felt the aura of spirits mixed with a faint evil spirit. There were not many of them, but one was particularly powerful.
Of course, this is based on other spirits.
The few remaining spirits smelled familiar, and they must have been the ones that escaped the night before.
Oh, it’s just that I don’t hold you accountable when I see you running away, and I’m not grateful, but I actually found someone stronger to take revenge.
"Since you insist on seeking death, you can't blame me."
Feeling the spirit's aura getting closer and closer, Su Chen thought coldly in his heart.
Thinking of this, he raised his eyes, glanced at the old man's back, and said, "No matter what happens in a while, remember not to go out."
Hearing this, the old man who was also resting with his eyes closed opened his eyes slightly, and then said with a faint smile: "Thank you for reminding me, little friend, I remember."
"snort."
The young man glanced at Su Chen with disdain in his eyes, pretending to be a ghost.
But after a while, everyone noticed something was wrong. The ground shook slightly, and as time passed, the shaking soon became larger.
"what happened?"
The three girls who were sleeping were also awakened by the shock. They opened their eyes and saw the three guards responsible for protecting them. At this time, they already had the sword in their hands, holding it on the handle with a solemn expression.
At this time, even a fool knows the seriousness of the situation
What's more, they are not ordinary women. They panicked for a moment and then calmed down again.
Then, he couldn't help but look for Su Chen, wanting to see what this young man who could only pretend to look like at this time.
Su Chen seemed to be asleep, sitting there cross-legged, ignoring the vibration, as if he had never felt it.
To say he was calm would be too much, right?
Therefore, they would rather think that this person was asleep.
This is a preconceived and biased cognition. If I identify you as ordinary, then no matter what you do, you are an ordinary person.
"Boom! Boom! Boom..."
The rumbling tremors were such that every time they trembled, the fragile roof would also tremble several times. The three young men were wary and worried that the roof would collapse.
Fortunately, the roof was fragile but held up.
However, everyone could clearly feel that the source that made the earth tremble stopped at the door of the house!
At this moment, the young man and the girl stared at the wooden door with trembling eyes and some fear. They were so nervous that they almost felt suffocated. The atmosphere in the house even seemed to be frozen.
"It has the aura of a human being, and there are more than one!"
Outside the house, a dull sound sounded.
The next moment, the fragile wooden door tilted downwards, as if it had been cut off by a sharp instrument.
"Clang!" With a sound, the wooden door fell to the ground.
The wind and rain rushed in immediately.
The young girl in the house suddenly felt that her body was filled with coldness, but it was not because of the rain, but because of the terrifying and ferocious figures contrasted by the firelight.
"Jie Jie Jie, I didn't expect there would be an unexpected harvest!"
The cat demon and rat demon immediately filed in, and the first thing they saw was a few people sitting around the fire.
The cat demon looked excited and greedy, then turned to look at Su Chen in the corner, his expression suddenly turned ferocious and vicious, "Human, you can make it easy for us to find him!"
Rainy nights will wash away traces and smells. They rely on this to find people.
Wandering around in the mountains like a headless fly.
Finally, after walking along the mountain road, the rat demon smelled his scent with its extremely keen sense of smell, and then pursued it all the way here.
Su Chen opened his eyes and glanced at them with cold eyes.
The latter few monsters were suddenly startled, and their whole bodies were filled with chills. What a familiar look. Their subordinates were stared at by such a look.
But then, they thought about our True Lord Montenegro and gained confidence again. They straightened their backs and looked back at each other with joy and fearlessness.
Watching them change from being afraid to not being afraid, Su Chen understood in his heart their confidence.
At this time, the young man who had always had contempt for Su Chen suddenly stood up, pointed at Su Chen, and said angrily: "So it was you who led them here!"
