Chapter 40: People from the county town, crisis
Mr. Hu couldn't bear to part with everything he had in this village.
Both he and Chu Liang understand this.
He has no big ambitions in this life, and he is old. He cherishes his life and does not dare to go out to fight. He just wants to be a wealthy man in a small mountain village.
And Chu Liang is still young and has a long road ahead.
There is no actual conflict of interest between the two of them.
"As long as you know it in your heart, I'm leaving."
Chu Liang said calmly and then stood up.
He didn't need to say much.
Mr. Hu is a smart man and he knows what to do.
"Chu Liang, that tiger demon... I may not be a match." Mr. Hu called Chu Liang and talked about the tiger demon.
Everyone in the village felt that he was better than the masters of other villages. Even if he couldn't kill the tiger monster, he could still fight it away.
But Mr. Hu knows how much he weighs.
Judging from the previous two attacks, the tiger monster's strength should be comparable to a human's blood, not weaker than him, and monsters are naturally good at fighting.
Master Hu knew in his heart that once the tiger demon attacked, he would probably have no choice but to follow the example of the masters from the previous two villages and abandon the village and run away.
Of course, he wouldn't escape in such an embarrassing situation.
"I will stay in the village for a while and will not go to the county seat for the time being."
Chu Liang left a word, then jumped directly out of the wall of Hu's backyard.
Mr. Hu immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
From the time Chu Liang appeared until now, his whole body has been tense and his spirit was extremely tense. Now he can finally relax for a while.
"With him here, I won't be afraid even if the tiger monster comes."
Mr. Hu wiped the sweat from his forehead.
As soon as he relaxed, he suddenly felt severe pain all over his body, as if his whole body was about to fall apart.
"hiss……"
…
Late at night, Chu Liang returned to his yard.
The feeling of defeating Mr. Hu was very dull, and he didn't even have much fluctuation in his heart.
"Next, we will continue to hone our Qi and blood. As for martial arts, let's not rush for the time being." Chu Liang silently planned in his heart, "There are many masters in the martial arts gym. Before going to the martial arts gym, I'd better condense the third and fourth strands of Qi and blood... Or just wait until the five qi and blood are gathered before learning martial arts..."
Chu Liang is seeking stability at the moment, and he is not in a hurry.
With the evolution treasure mirror here, it is only a matter of time before he can condense the five strands of Qi and blood.
In the county town, the four experts at the Skin Refining Realm would not take action easily, and usually let the warriors at the Blood Coagulation Realm handle matters.
"In the blood coagulation realm, the strongest one is the one who condenses five strands of qi and blood, such as the leader of the Tsing Yi Gang."
There are more than ten martial arts schools in the county.
Among them, the masters of the three most powerful martial arts schools also have the strength of the five qi and blood.
"If you gather the five qi and blood and then go to learn martial arts, will you be regarded as a kicker? It's a bit weird, but it's not impossible."
Chu Liang knew clearly that this was the safest course of action.
The days after this...
As before, he insisted on practicing martial arts, tempering his Qi and blood, and constantly condensing the third stream of Qi and blood.
He would occasionally take Chu Shan into the mountains to harvest prey and collect medicinal herbs.
If you don't have enough monster meat, go to the county town to buy it.
The days passed by.
A month flies by.
The tiger demon that the villagers were worried about did not appear, and it was quiet for a whole month.
"Isn't that tiger demon still making any move? Will it be killed by the warriors in the county?"
"No! I went to inquire today, but there is still no news..."
The oppressive feeling brought by the tiger demon was like a huge stone, pressing on the chests of all the villagers, making them anxious all day long.
What reassures them is that Mr. Hu has appeared several times recently and said that he will stay in the village and will not go anywhere else.
Another few days passed.
That evening, two teams of strangers suddenly appeared outside the village.
"This is Qingshi Village?"
"Well, you can't be wrong."
"There is only one warrior in the whole village, and he is the one named Hu."
"Let's go in and ask if he has found anything."
"That tiger monster is really cunning. I've been looking for it for so long, but I still haven't found any trace of it..."
Both teams came from the Martial Alliance in the county and were demon hunting teams composed of warriors.
The weakest person in the team has one qi and blood, and the leader has three qi and blood.
They entered the village one after another.
Upon learning that a team from the Martial Alliance was arriving, Mr. Hu's expression changed slightly and he hurriedly went out to greet them.
Although he was recognized by the Martial Alliance, he was only one of the lowest level warriors in the entire Martial Alliance.
"Are you Mr. Hu in this village?" one of them asked.
"Don't dare, don't dare. Just call me Xiao Hu."
Mr. Hu looked respectful and invited them into the Hu family's mansion.
Many people in the village opened their eyes in shock when they saw this scene.
They quickly understand...
Someone big is coming!
The two teams entered the Hu family's mansion one by one, came to the lobby dedicated to entertaining guests, and sat down on both sides.
"My name is Wu Neng, you should have seen me."
The captain of the team on the left spoke. He had a ferocious face and an extremely hideous scar on his face.
Mr. Hu immediately replied: "Yes, yes, on the day I was recognized by the Martial Alliance, you happened to bring your team back from the mountains. You gained a lot that time and captured a wolf demon alive."
"Well, your memory is pretty good." Wu Neng nodded slightly.
"Master Wu, are you here for the tiger demon?"
"Yes, what did you find?"
"No, that tiger demon has never appeared."
Mr. Hu answered truthfully, not daring to hide anything.
"Huh? Really?"
Wu Neng's voice suddenly turned cold, his ferocious eyes stared straight at Mr. Hu, and asked again: "If you think about it carefully, you really didn't find anything?"
"I……"
"Hmph! Don't hide it!"
Wu Neng snorted coldly, put his hand into the bag he carried with him, and then suddenly flicked out a bloody human head.
Gululu...
The man's head rolled several times on the ground and rolled in front of Mr. Hu.
Mr. Hu's face turned pale. He recognized the head - it was Mr. He from Blackstone Village next door!
"Do you recognize this person?" Wu Neng looked coldly, "I suspected that he was colluding with monsters, so I beheaded him!"
Hearing this, Mr. Hu's heart trembled.
Just doubt?
Mr. He has been friends with him for many years. He has the same temperament as him and is both greedy for life and afraid of death. How could he collude with the monster?
Mr. Hu was sweating and his whole body felt cold. He felt as if an invisible long knife had been pressed against his neck.
Why did Mr. He die?
Suddenly, he had an enlightenment and immediately said: "I thought about it, but I made a discovery. Please wait a moment!"
After that, he hurried to his bedroom.
Not long after, he ran back from the bedroom, holding a wooden box in his hand.
He opened the box, and inside was a piece of exquisite jade that was worth a lot of money.
Master Hu endured the pain and knelt down to offer the jade.
"I found this jade in the mountains before. I suspect it is related to monsters. Please accept it, Master Wu!"
"Yes, Not Bad!"
Wu Neng nodded lightly and picked up the jade.
Seeing this, Mr. Hu breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that he had guessed correctly.
Where did these bastards come to catch monsters?
It was obviously under the pretext of catching monsters that they went to various villages to search for them!
The unlucky Mr. He probably couldn't bring out anything valuable, so he was regarded by this group of people as the monkey who killed the chicken to scare other monkeys.
Wu Neng gently stroked the jade, a look of satisfaction flashed across his face.
He waved, picked up the head, and then said to the rest of his team: "Let's go and check out other villages. There may be clues."
"yes."
The other members laughed, their smiles a little cruel.
Wu Neng ignored Mr. Hu who was kneeling on the ground, put away the jade, and walked straight to the door of the lobby.
As soon as he reached the door, he suddenly paused and asked, "By the way, are there any other warriors in your village?"
"No, it's just me."
Mr. Hu hurriedly replied: "As you know, I am the only one in the whole village who has been recognized by the Wu League."
