No villager could be found in the dead deserted village, and it was as if all the people here had suddenly disappeared.
Almost every household here has a Buddhist niche at home, and the wooden tablets enshrined in the Buddhist niche have long since disappeared.
The village at night was like a ghost village. Zhou Fan relied on his skill and boldness to almost go around the whole village.
He did not discover the whereabouts of the Right Protector or the ASEAN Master and others, and the group of spiritual masters who came with them did not see the bodies either.
There were only a few corpses that he had burned outside the temple before. He did not see the corpses of the missing tourist group or the police officers who came to investigate.
Zhou Fan returned to the temple again and smelled the harsh smell of blood coming from the temple.
He immediately flew into the palace and saw Zhang Yuanhua who was on alert as if facing a powerful enemy.
At this moment, Zhang Yuanhua's face was pale and he looked like he had consumed a lot.
His body was covered in blood, and his shoulders and arms had claw marks that were deep enough to show the bones. Zhao Zhuang didn't seem to be in any better condition. He almost lost his life due to the combination of new injuries and old injuries.
I saw that at the feet of the two people, there were many corpses of wild beasts and civet cats lying.
"You are finally back!"
After Zhang Yuanhua saw Zhou Fan coming back, he couldn't help but secretly breathed a sigh of relief and said.
He fell to the ground, immediately took out the medicinal powder to stop the bleeding, closed his eyes and adjusted his breathing.
Zhao Zhuang also secretly breathed a sigh of relief, nodded and said hello to Zhou Fan, and immediately crossed his knees to heal his injuries.
"Ouch!"
Before Zhou Fan could ask, a hoarse beast roar came from the hall.
When Zhou Fan heard about the reputation, he discovered that it was actually a black panther. It had some injuries on its body and had obviously fought with Zhang Yuanhua and the others before.
Zhang Yuanhua is a strong man in the Spirit King Realm, and ordinary beasts and monsters are no match for him.
He was still wondering before. The beasts that died beside them didn't seem to be strong. Even if Zhang Yuanhua and his two men had not recovered from their injuries, they shouldn't have been beaten so badly.
Now we finally know the culprit, it turns out to be the black panther with a strong aura in front of us.
"Ouch!"
The black panther roared and instantly turned into an afterimage and bit Zhou Fan.
It also seemed to sense the threatening aura from Zhou Fan, so it attacked almost with all its strength.
"boom!"
There was a loud bang, and a deep claw mark appeared where Zhou Fan had been standing.
"Boohoo!"
At this time, countless vines suddenly appeared and instantly entangled the black panther who was unable to escape.
"Ouch!"
The black panther's sharp teeth bit through the vines in the blink of an eye, and its sharp claws tore the vines apart before breaking free.
Its speed was extremely fast, and it was already close to Zhou Fan in the blink of an eye as it galloped, jumped and dodged.
Zhou Fan did not transform into a tree-man state, so he easily avoided the black panther's attack by ducking back.
"Clang!"
"Qiang Qiang Qiang!"
"Ouch..."
Zhou Fan, who avoided several attacks from the black panther, finally used his white sword.
Relying on the sharpness of the white sword, his speed was not slower than that of the black panther, and was even a bit faster, so he quickly suppressed the black panther.
After the roaring black panther realized that it was no match, it wanted to take the opportunity to escape.
But Zhou Fan was not willing to let it go. He almost chased it and stopped it to prevent it from escaping.
As the battle continued, Black Panther's physical strength gradually failed to keep up.
Its speed is not as good as Zhou Fan's, and its defense cannot be compared with it.
In fact, it is not difficult for Zhou Fan to kill it. The reason why he deliberately exhausted the black panther's physical strength was because he could still use the black panther.
"boom!"
After fighting for another cup of tea, the black panther finally couldn't hold on and passed out under the fragrance of redbud orchid.
After Zhou Fan saw that the black panther was completely unconscious, he took out medicinal powder to stop the bleeding from its wound, not wanting it to bleed to death.
He began to hide things on the black panther. After working for a while, he walked towards Zhang Yuanhua and Zhao Zhuang in the distance.
After a period of healing, the two finally recovered.
Although the injuries did not heal so quickly, the two of them could already perform simple physical activities without being affected.
"What were you doing there just now?"
"You don't have any thoughts about Black Panther, do you?"
Zhang Yuanhua looked at Zhou Fan, whose hands were covered with blood, and wondered whether he had a special interest in wild beasts.
"You have time to talk nonsense, why don't you hurry up and regain your fighting strength."
Zhou Fan walked forward directly, pulled Zhang Yuanhua's clothes and wiped his hands.
Before the other party could get angry, he took out dozens of forbidden stones and handed them to the two of them.
Zhao Zhuang unceremoniously took away more than a dozen forbidden stones to absorb and restore the lost forbidden energy, but Zhang Yuanhua, whose cheeks twitched for a while, finally chose to be merciful.
In this way, the three of them practiced cross-legged in the hall for a long time.
The three of them left the temple when it was getting dark.
I don't know how long it took, but the black panther, covered in blood, woke up faintly.
It was still extremely weak, and its legs were shaking a little when it stood up.
The black panther woke up and immediately looked around. After discovering that there were no other creatures in the hall, it sniffed and came to the statue.
It was seen that it was looking around cautiously, and after discovering that no outsiders were present, it jumped directly onto the statue.
Its leopard tail slapped the half-closed fingers of the female statue. When the fingers of the statue were closed, the statue suddenly trembled violently.
"Click!"
"Kakaka!"
There was a sound of a mechanism sounding, and the statue started to rotate.
Soon, the statue turned sideways to reveal a hole, and the black panther had jumped off the statue and rushed into the hole and disappeared.
"Boom!"
"Rumble..."
Just as the statue slowly closed with a roar, three figures rushed into the cave in an instant.
"boom!"
With a trembling and muffled sound, the slowly moving statue returned to its original appearance again, and the exposed hole was blocked again.
In the dark cave, the black panther was sniffing the scent and moving forward. It didn't know that three silent black figures had been following it from a distance.
The damp and rancid smell in the cave was extremely strong, and the black panther did not like this smell, so it ran almost at an extremely fast speed without stopping.
"Why don't we follow quickly?"
"There might be a fork in this cave!"
Just after the Black Panther left for a while, Zhang Yuanhua's voice suddenly sounded.
"Don't worry! It can't run away!"
Zhou Fan said nonchalantly, as if he was not worried about Black Panther getting lost.
“It stinks so much in here!”
"We'd better leave quickly!"
Just when Zhou Fan finished speaking, Zhao Zhuang pinched his nose and urged.
"Let's go, let's go! I can't stand the smell either!"
Zhang Yuanhua also pinched his nose, looking like he was about to be suffocated.
When Zhou Fan saw this, he didn't say any more nonsense and immediately led the two of them into the cave.
He didn't want the panther to smell their scent, so he didn't get too close to the panther.
Fortunately, the Black Panther seemed to be in a hurry and kept going very fast, and did not notice the three Zhou Fans following behind.
At the end of the long and narrow cave are corridors, which extend in all directions like a maze. If you accidentally go wrong, you may get completely lost here and eventually starve to death in the corridors.
Those unpleasant smells came from the corpse stench emanating from the corridors.
Passing through the dense maze of corridors, the black panther relied on his sense of smell to identify the direction and ran for a long time before finally walking out of the corridor.
There is an exit outside the corridor, and there is another black panther guarding the exit.
"Ouch!"
The black panther guarding the exit smelled an unusual smell and roared to alert the villagers in the deep canyon.
However, when it saw that it was its partner coming back, it regained its momentum and lay down on the ground to continue taking a nap.
The returning Black Panther roared, and after waiting for a while, an old man wearing a straw hat came to the Black Panther with a group of villagers holding swords.
Before he could ask, a sword light suddenly flew out of the cave.
"boom!"
"Ouch!"
At the same time, there was a loud bang, and the small fragments in the blood-stained black panther's skin suddenly exploded.
It was blown away directly and hit another black panther.
"If you want to take action! I guarantee that none of you will survive today!"
Before the old man wearing a straw hat could order the villagers and the two black panthers to take action, Zhou Fan's cold voice sounded and several bombs had already been taken out.
Not only him, Zhao Zhuang and Zhang Yuanhua also had almost a dozen bombs and grenades.
If we throw them all away, it is estimated that at least half of the old man and the villagers behind him will die, and it is possible that their entire army will be completely destroyed.
"stop!"
The old man wearing a straw hat is not without any cultivation. He is the village chief of Jiang Village and his Qi cultivation is at the level of a senior spiritual master.
Although the other villagers have little cultivation, they all have good skills.
At least ordinary force is not as good as technology. The strongest in Jiangcun are the two black panther guardian beasts.
"Who are you?"
"What do you want to do?"
The old village chief asked in a deep voice!
Zhou Fan, who was standing in the air with his sword, saw that the old man was willing to talk, so he couldn't help but slowly fall from the air and put away his white sword.
"Ouch!"
"Ho ho ho!"
At this time, the male black panther stationed in the distance roared and was about to pounce on Zhou Fan and the others, but the old village chief raised his hand and shouted him back.
"I want to ask some questions and find some people! I don't want to conflict with you!"
Zhou Fan said bluntly that although he could see that there was something wrong with the old village chief and others hiding at the bottom of the deep mountain canyon, he did not want to explore other people's privacy.
"Who are you looking for?"
The old village chief looked at Zhou Fan and the other three, and saw that they didn't seem to be looking for trouble, so he asked warily.
"The tourist team disappeared after arriving in your deserted village, and there was no news from the police team that came behind."
"There were hundreds of spiritual masters in the last team. With your cultivation level, you will definitely be unable to do anything about them. I want to know where they went?"
Zhou Fan asked several questions in succession, which made the villagers behind the old village chief alert and showed hostility towards Zhou Fan and the others.
"My little brother has asked me so many questions. Do you have the patience to listen to the whole story?"
"As you wish!"
Since the old village chief wanted to explain it in detail, Zhou Fan would naturally not object.
Anyway, he is not in a hurry. With the strength of the old village chief and others, even if they swarm forward, they are no match for Right Protector and others.
So Zhou Fan wanted to hear what happened here.
"Our Jiangcun is isolated from the outside world. We don't want to have contact with the outside world and we don't welcome outsiders to come."
"Some time ago, a team of more than a dozen people claimed to have lost their way while traveling in the mountains."
"I originally wanted to drive them away, but some of the villagers objected and wanted to take those people in. Who had ever..."
The old village chief began to tell Zhou Fan and the others what had happened, telling them that Jiang Village was kind and kind in taking in those outsiders, but that the outsiders were not only ungrateful, but also missed the village's bronze utensils and various jade stones.
Even within the tourist team, a fairly good-looking woman began to actively seduce the villagers and incite conflicts among the villagers so that they could take advantage of the chaos and steal various items.
Later, the old village chief discovered the intentions of those outsiders and drove them all out of the village.
It's just that the people are so weak that they don't leave. Instead, they secretly attack the villagers and want to destroy the entire village so that they can get all the treasures without anyone noticing.
It's a pity that they missed two black panthers. The old village chief kept the two black panthers watching them secretly.
After discovering the intentions of those outsiders, the furious old village chief issued a killing order and left all those greedy people behind.
Later, a group of police officers arrived and began to search the village.
The old village chief didn't want to cause trouble, so he could only scare the police officers by manipulating wooden signs.
The police officers were eventually scared away, but a few days later they brought a large group of people.
When they searched Jiang Village, they also took a fancy to various items in the village and began to steal them secretly.
Finally, the old village chief couldn't bear it anymore and ordered the two black panthers to take advantage of the darkness to attack.
Later, they hid in the secret passage behind the statue.
Several waves of people arrived during this period, but basically the old village chief secretly controlled the wooden signs and cooperated with the two swift and fierce black panthers to kill them one by one.
The last group of people who came were too strong, even two black panthers were no match for them, so the old village chief did not dare to act rashly, and planned to hide in the secret tunnel canyon for a while, and then take the villagers out after the news had passed.
