"Damn! After saying so much, what's the difference between not saying anything?"
"We want to know where the last group of people went and why they all lost their traces?"
After listening to the old village chief's explanation, Zhang Yuanhua couldn't help but complained repeatedly.
"I also want to know where so many of them went?"
"Don't tell me! They entered the mountains?"
Zhou Fan looked at the old village chief with sharp eyes, and directly blocked his words to stop him.
"This this......"
The old village chief was speechless for a moment. When he felt Zhou Fan's eyes gradually become colder and a terrifying aura locked and enveloped him, he hesitated and finally sighed.
"That's all! It doesn't hurt to tell you!"
"The bottom of the small river outside our village is connected to a dangerous forbidden land. Those people accidentally discovered the forbidden land at the bottom of the river when they were searching the village."
"They all got in there later and it had nothing to do with us!"
The old village chief replied truthfully, with an expression that said we cannot be blamed for this.
Zhou Fan frowned slightly when he heard this, not quite believing what the old village chief said.
"He must be right!"
"When the Right Protector transmitted a message to me, the message was very vague and distorted. I listened carefully several times before I could roughly hear that he asked me to go back and bring in reinforcements, and then he seemed to mention the word forbidden area."
At this time Zhang Yuanhua came over and said!
"Where are our companions in the valley?"
Zhao Zhuang stepped forward at this time, lifted up the old village chief's collar and asked.
"They were kidnapped by a group of mysterious men in black and entered the forbidden area at the bottom of the river. Originally we just wanted to imprison them as hostages and had no intention of killing them."
Although the old village chief was held up by his collar, he still replied without arrogance and motioned to the villagers behind him not to be impulsive.
"You outsiders have made it impossible for us to return home! Now that we are all hiding in the mountains, are you going too far if you still refuse to let us go?"
"I can give you all the treasures outside the village. You should leave our village chief immediately!"
"Put down the old village chief and don't embarrass him..."
One villager shouted angrily, saying that if the old village chief hadn't raised his hand to stop them from messing around, they would have been desperate.
"We are just looking for people, and we don't mean to embarrass anyone."
"The black panther attacked us and almost killed us. I had a chance to kill it, but I let it go in the end."
Zhou Fan was a little excited when he saw the excitement among the villagers, so he calmed down the atmosphere and spoke.
Without waiting for anyone to answer, he continued: "That's the end of this matter. I hope you won't hide anything or stumbling behind your back, otherwise your entire village may not be necessary to exist."
After his calm words fell, Zhou Fan's cold gaze swept across the entire place, and the terrifying coercion disappeared in a flash, but it still made all the villagers look frightened.
"Let's go!"
After reminding Zhang Yuanhua and Zhao Zhuang, Zhou Fan took out the flying sword and enlarged it and jumped onto the sword body first.
"snort!"
Zhao Zhuang snorted coldly. He still didn't seem to believe the old village chief's explanation, but he still didn't cause trouble and let go of the other party's collar and flew with the flying sword.
Zhang Yuanhua, on the other hand, didn't say a word and jumped onto the flying sword with a tap of his toes.
"Three of you! The forbidden area is extremely dangerous, you must be careful!"
The old village chief hesitated to speak, and finally reminded Zhou Fan and the others.
"Thank you!"
After Zhou Fan left a word of thanks, he flew up the Wanzhang Canyon with his sword.
It was only after the three of them left that some villagers came to the old village chief.
"Village chief, are you okay?"
"Those outsiders have been led into the forbidden area by us. Once they enter, I'm afraid they will never come out again."
"Yes! As long as it takes a while, we can all go home..."
The villagers came forward and talked around the old village chief, but they didn't know that Zhou Fan, who was leaving, heard every word of their conversation.
Zhou Fan hid a small chip in the skin of the black panther, which allowed him to hear sounds within a few meters of the outside.
...
...
A few birds occasionally flew over in the sunny sky. On the bank of a small river not far from the deserted village, Zhou Fan and three others were standing on the bank of the river.
"I'm afraid this forbidden area is extremely dangerous! Are you sure you want to enter with us?"
Zhou Fan looked at Zhao Zhuang beside him and asked, with his cultivation in the spirit general realm, apart from being a cannon fodder, he could not bring much help to Zhou Fan and the others.
Rather than entering the forbidden area to die, it is better to stay outside.
"I'd better go in with you!"
"If you really encounter an insurmountable danger! Just run away and don't worry about me!"
Zhao Zhuang didn't want to stay outside alone, especially after learning that Zhendong City had fallen and he was homeless, so he wanted to take the risk and follow Zhou Fan, so that they could at least have each other's company.
"Let's go! Protector Right and the others may just be in trouble!"
Zhang Yuanhua didn't want to waste any more time, so he urged the two of them and then jumped into the river first.
Zhou Fan watched Zhang Yuanhua sink into the turbid bottom of the river and there was no trace left, so he couldn't help but jump into the river with Zhao Zhuang one after another.
The water in the creek gets colder and colder as you go down, and if you were an ordinary person, you probably wouldn't be able to stand it if you dived too deep to get out of the cold.
Zhou Fan and the others didn't feel much. They dived hundreds of meters deep before they saw a slowly rotating vortex of water at the bottom.
"I'll go take a look first!"
Zhang Yuanhua took the lead in swimming towards the whirlpool. After he threw some items into the whirlpool and found that all the items were sucked in, and there seemed to be no danger, he hesitantly approached the whirlpool.
"Fuck!"
When Zhang Yuanhua was approaching the whirlpool, a terrifying sharpness suddenly came out of the whirlpool, and he was sucked into the whirlpool in an instant.
Zhou Fan and Zhao Zhuang, who had stabilized their bodies not far away, looked at each other in disbelief. After waiting for a long time, they finally arrived at the whirlpool together.
The vortex seemed to be able to sense the approach of living beings. When Zhou Fan and Zhao Zhuang approached, it suddenly emitted a powerful suction force and swallowed them up.
Zhou Fan, whose body was covered with dragon scales, did not resist. He only felt as if he had entered a tornado vortex.
A burst of rapid movement and a spinning feeling came, making him feel dizzy.
When he came to his senses again, he had fallen into a bush.
The sky was gray and the sun, moon and stars could not be seen, but there was a gray light shining on it, which kept the ground from being completely dark.
He found himself as if he were in a primeval forest, where the weeds were several meters high and green.
The trees here are all towering trees, and their trunks are probably as thick as a dozen people surrounded by them.
He stood up from the weeds and after looking around, he found that Zhao Zhuang and Zhang Yuanhua were not near him.
This made Zhou Fan wonder, could it be that if you enter this forbidden area, you will be randomly transported to different places?
He flew up to the towering tree not far away, and couldn't help but frown slightly when he climbed to the top of the tree.
There was a vague pressure in the air. He tried to fly to a high altitude and found that the pressure became stronger, like a small mountain pressing down on him.
Zhou Fan, who was new here, also wanted to keep a low profile, so he didn't fight with that coercive hard steel.
He flew to the top of the big tree in the sky, looked around and found that he was now in a mountain range.
There seems to be an endless river at the end of the mountains, but it's so foggy that it's hard to see clearly.
While Zhou Fan was looking around curiously, his keen ears seemed to vaguely hear the sounds of fighting.
With a suspicious look on his face, he disappeared instantly.
Zhou Fan, who was moving quickly in the forest, found that his speed seemed to be restricted by some rules and seemed to be much slower.
Zhou Fan, who was jumping like a spiritual ape in the forest, soon hid in a big tree.
Not far away from his sight, there were more than a dozen people fighting with a big snake.
The dozen or so people looked a little embarrassed, and their clothes were all dirty and messy, but you could vaguely tell that they were all wearing the uniforms of spiritual masters.
After recognizing that he was one of his own, Zhou Fan wanted to rush out to help, but after remembering that the old village chief had said that a group of mysterious men in black had also entered the forbidden area, he quickly stopped himself.
It was still impossible to tell whether it was an enemy or a friend just from the clothes, so he planned to wait and see what happened.
"Clang!"
"Qiang Qiang Qiang!"
"Hiss..."
The fighting on the battlefield in the distance has entered a fever pitch, with more than a dozen spiritual masters using their trump cards almost without reservation.
It's just that the big snake's rough skin, thick flesh and scales were too defensive, making it difficult for everyone to cause effective damage to it.
The strongest of the dozen or so spiritual masters was only a senior spiritual master, and was somewhat unable to deal with a demonic snake that had transformed into a demon.
The ferocious snake seemed to treat a dozen people as snacks, and pounced on them crazily with its mouth full of laughter.
When more than a dozen people were in danger, Zhou Fan in the distance slowly drew out his white sword.
"call out!"
"ah!"
A sound broke through the air, and a man in black who appeared behind Zhou Fan at some unknown time was instantly beheaded.
The man in black screamed, and his body separated and fell to the ground with a muffled sound.
"Boohoo!"
At the same time, a series of piercing sounds suddenly sounded.
I saw countless arrows shooting towards Zhou Fan, completely engulfing him in an instant.
"Qiang Qiang Qiang!"
In a series of clashing sounds of gold and iron, all the arrows were blocked by Zhou Fan and rebounded towards the sound of a sneak attack in the dark.
"Boohoo!"
"careful!"
"ah......"
Amidst a series of exclamations, almost all the dozen men in black hiding in the dense forest fell into a pool of blood.
Zhou Fan withdrew the long sword dripping with blood, and his eyes fell on a man in black who was in the early stage of the Spiritual General Realm.
At this moment, the man in black was entangled with the bone whip and could not move. Zhou Fan only wanted to interrogate him by sparing him alive.
But who knew that the man in black was a weakling? Before he could use the alluring scent of the redbud orchid, he knelt down straight.
Zhou Fan frowned when he saw this, but still stepped forward and asked coldly: "What kind of force do you belong to?"
"What's the purpose of coming here?"
"Reporting to Lord Kazekage! This subordinate is a member of the Kazekage Legion, number 666!"
The man in black answered respectfully, making Zhou Fan stunned for a moment.
"Isn't this the right way to ask?"
Zhou Fan, who was full of suspicion, cast his eyes on the man in black and looked at him carefully. He still used the fragrance of the redbud orchid to confuse the man in black and then questioned him carefully.
