Chapter 203 Exploration and Anomalies in the Mountains

Chapter 203 Exploration and Anomalies in the Mountains

Dining room.

Everyone gossiped.

Most of the time, it was Chen’s mother who asked the questions.

From Chen Bi's food, clothing, housing and transportation, to his daily practice, and whether he gets along harmoniously with his brothers.

No matter how big or small, there are no mistakes or omissions.

Fortunately, Chen Bi had prepared his words in advance.

At this moment.

It's quite a response.

Halfway through the meal.

Chen Danggui devoured it and scraped the bottom of the bowl clean.

Immediately afterwards,

She couldn't wait to run to the room, ready to see what gift Chen Bi had prepared for herself.

And on the dining table.

Mother Chen's questioning finally ended.

Father Chen rarely speaks in his daily life.

Chen Bi was the first to start the conversation.

"Are there any strange faces in the village today?"

Since last night, people from the Holy Cult have begun searching all over China.

The range of the induction bead is nearly two kilometers.

This distance is not long.

But it’s by no means short.

From last night to now, even the scope of the Holy Cult personnel's explorations cannot possibly overlap.

But here in Kyoto, the city should have been explored and started to spread towards the outer areas of Kyoto.

Therefore.

Only Chen Bi would ask this question.

"Stranger Today"

Listen to the questions.

The parents stopped what they were doing at the same time, with thoughtful looks in their eyes.

a long time.

Father Chen slowly shook his head.

"I didn't see any new faces today."

Mother Chen took over the conversation.

"You also know that many young people in our Ota Village have gone to work in Kyoto."

"Some of them don't come back for several years. When they come back, they look different and are unrecognizable."

"You can see people like this every three days, and we usually don't pay much attention to them."

Hear the words.

Chen Bi nodded and said nothing.

His parents' answer did not exceed his expectations.

Although Datian Village is located in a remote area.

But it's not a real backcountry. There aren't many strangers, but they aren't particularly conspicuous.

It's really hard to notice without paying special attention.

"What's wrong, son? What's the matter?"

Chen Bi didn't say anything.

Mother Chen asked with concern.

"It's okay. Recently, those in Kyoto, including our sect, are all about staying close to nature."

"Therefore, many disciples of sects go to remote areas to practice. I just want to ask if anyone comes to our village."

Chen Bi knew it very well.

If I talk casually, my parents may not be able to rest assured.

therefore,

When the words came out of his mouth, he had already weaved a reason in his mind.

This is also the ability that Chen Bi developed during the time he joined the Holy Cult.

Lies come out of your mouth.

"That's it."

as expected.

After hearing these words, the two of them nodded suddenly and had no doubts.

Chen Bi also lowered his head and prepared to continue eating.

But that's it.

"Hey, when you say that, it reminds me of the strange things in the mountains recently."

"Son, didn't you say that those who practice martial arts very well have the abilities of gods?"

Immediately afterwards.

Chen's father told Chen Bi about the strange situation he and Chen Angelica encountered when they went up the mountain to collect herbs a few days ago.

"And yesterday, I saw the weather forecast said it was sunny."

"As a result, I kept hearing the sound of thunder at night. Do you think it could--"

Father Chen rubbed his chin and said it seriously.

But before she could finish her words, Mother Chen slapped her on the back of the head.

"What are you talking about?"

"You think the weather forecast is the Jade Emperor's decree. It's not allowed. That's a common thing."

"Besides, the wild beasts in the mountains come out not just once or twice, but you should stop being alarmist."

Facing Mother Chen’s scolding.

Father Chen was not annoyed at all, he just rubbed his head and laughed.

"Isn't this what my son asked about? I'll just say it casually."

"Eat your food and stop talking about such nonsense."

"You can practice martial arts so well that you can make thunder and lightning. It's a shame you can imagine that."

Mother Chen rolled her eyes.

As the de facto head of the family.

Her words carry great weight in this family.

As soon as the words left his mouth.

Even Chen Bi started eating rice honestly and stopped talking.

only,

There was a thoughtful look in his eyes.

What Father Chen said is not surprising at all.

It's not common in the mountains, but it's not unheard of.

These are special times.

Chen Bi felt a little uneasy in his heart.

He decided to wait until later and go to the mountains and forests to check.

Wild beasts in the mountains are a deadly threat to ordinary people.

But for him, a powerful warrior.

Don't make small talk.

It's average.

Ever since.

The time between meals was spent peacefully like this.

"Oh, you've just arrived home after riding all morning. Go and have a rest first."

"It's not like I can't do this little thing."

Chen Bi was about to help his mother clean up the mess at the dinner table, but was pushed away.

"It's that little girl Angelica."

Mother Chen took him aside and spoke in a low voice.

"I'm afraid that after a while, her scar will heal and forget the pain, and she will run to the mountains again."

"Not every time I have such good luck."

"She has admired you the most since she was a child and listens to you the most. Go and persuade her."

Mother Chen pursed her lips in the direction of Chen Danggui's room.

"Do you understand?"

Chen Bi also had this plan.

Since Chen's mother wouldn't let him help, he didn't insist anymore.

Come to the door of the room.

Chen Bi raised his hand and knocked on the door.

Boom boom.

"Angelica, can I come in?"

"Can!"

Chen Danggui's excited voice came from inside the house.

The little girl seemed to be in a good mood.

Chen Bi pushed the door open and entered.

I saw Chen Danggui sitting on the bed, watching TV with interest.

What was played on TV was the gift brought back by Chen Bi.

He recorded the boxing techniques he learned in the form of video.

"Do you like this gift?"

Chen Bi asked with a smile.

"I like it, thank you brother!"

Chen Danggui thanked her, her eyes never leaving the TV screen from beginning to end.

"I will discuss it with my mother and ask her to agree to you practicing martial arts in the future."

"Don't run to the mountains in the future, you know it's very dangerous."

Chen Bi stroked Chen Danggui's head, his eyes full of doting.

"ah?"

Upon hearing this.

Chen Danggui didn't even bother to watch the video, and immediately became anxious.

"But--"

She stood up directly from the bed and tried to argue.

But midway through the words, he seemed to think of something and swallowed them back.

Sitting back on the bed again.

"Well, if you don't want to go, I won't go."

she answered loudly.

His eyes were turned toward the door.

She knew that her mother must be eavesdropping outside the door.

Chen Bi's eyes were as bright as a torch.

A child's thoughts cannot be hidden from his eyes.

not to mention,

Chen Angelica is the sister he grew up with.

Click.

Turn around and close the door.

"Danggui, can you tell me what you wanted to say just now?"

What Father Chen said was about the vision on the mountain.

Why did Chen Angelica go into the mountains at night, knowing that wild animals had escaped from the mountains?

And just now he stopped talking.

All kinds of coincidences add up.

So far though.

Chen Bi hasn't thought about Xuanwu yet.

But he had a gut feeling.

Deep in the mountains, there is probably something wrong.

Whatever it is.

Chen Bi felt that he needed to confirm whether it would pose a threat to the Chen family.

"It's nothing."

"It's just that I'm in the mountains with a few friends."

"Brother, didn't you say before that you can become very powerful by learning something called breathing technique?"

"When I go up the mountain, I always learn breathing techniques from them."

"Dabai, Xiaobai, small mouth, big eyes."

Chen Angelica counted the names of her rabbit friends with her fingers.

As for the most important one.

And the one that must never be known to anyone else.

She didn't say.

"OK OK."

Chen Bi didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

"How can breathing techniques be so easy to learn? Your brother and I don't even know how to do it."

"but."

Although Chen Bi guessed that Chen Danggui was hiding something from him.

But he wasn't going to question his sister.

Said.

Chen Bi stretched out his little finger in front of Chen Angelica.

"If you promise brother, you won't go to the mountains to learn breathing techniques in the future."

"When my brother learns the breathing method, I will take you to practice martial arts, okay?"

Chen Bi originally thought.

My sister, who loves martial arts, will definitely jump up with excitement after hearing her promise.

But it was beyond his expectation.

Chen Angelica just looked thoughtful.

After hesitating for a second or two, he nodded slowly.

"Oh well."

"I promise my brother that I will not go to the mountains in the future."

Don't go to the mountains.

But I'm going to the mountains!

This way it's not a lie.

The little girl thought so in her heart.

There was also a proud expression on his face unconsciously.

Such a reaction.

This further deepened Chen Bi's speculation in his heart.

There must be strange things in the mountains.

"Then you have a good rest. My brother is going out first."

"Um!"

He touched Chen Angelica's head.

Chen Bi didn't say anything more, just turned and walked out of the door.

Mother Chen was standing outside the door, stretching her head.

"Don't worry, Mom."

"Angelica has already told me."

"If you want to practice martial arts in the future, I can just teach her. You don't have to go to the mountains."

"That's good. That's good."

Mother Chen was relieved.

Previously, she had always been reluctant to let Chen Danggui behave like a tomboy, dancing with his fists and humming haha.

But after what happened a few days ago.

She has completely looked away.

Compared to practicing martial arts.

If something really happened to Chen Angelica.

She probably wouldn't survive either.

"Um."

Chen Bi nodded.

He looked at the stove beside him.

The remaining bowls and chopsticks from the previous meal were temporarily placed on top.

Apparently.

Mother Chen was busy waiting for the results, but she didn't have time to clean up.

"Mom, let me help."

Time passed quietly as Chen Bi got along with his family.

Haven't been home for a long time.

Chen Bi helped Chen's mother cook, and Chen's father took care of the farmland.

In her spare time, she would also demonstrate martial arts to Chen Danggui, which made the little girl clap and cheer.

The sun sets over the western mountains.

It's getting late.

In the blink of an eye, it was already night.

After the family had dinner, they gathered in front of the TV to chat and joke.

Until late at night.

Chen's father and Chen's mother went back to their room to sleep.

Chen Angelica also yawned repeatedly and went back to her room to sleep early.

"I remember this little girl used to be very energetic until midnight."

"Why is your schedule so good now?"

Extinguish the lights.

Chen Bi glanced at Chen Danggui's room strangely.

He didn't think much about it.

Next, there is still business to do.

Chen Bi sat quietly on the chair, listening to the movement in the room.

After the sound of deep sleep snoring sounded.

He stood up immediately.

He walked quietly outside the house.

Chen Bi's face returned to expressionless again.

His eyes scanned the surroundings.

Rural areas are not like cities.

The villagers here all go to bed early.

There were only three or two houses with lights on.

The village was completely silent.

There was not a single soul on the village road.

Chen Bi did not hesitate.

Uh-huh!

The geese pass without leaving a trace.

Walking by silently.

As a powerful warrior.

Chen Bi has unparalleled control over his body.

Even if he moves very fast.

But no sound was made.

A few minutes later.

He successfully reached the foot of the mountain.

Chen Bi raised his head and looked towards the mountain road.

The deep woods looked like a monster with its bloody mouth open in the darkness, waiting for his arrival.

But Chen Bi was not timid at all.

No matter what was in the mountains, he had to find out.

He didn't want to put his family in unknown danger.

Think of this.

Chen Bi stepped down.

The figure rushed into the forest like an arrow.

Complex terrain and dark environment in the mountains.

To him, who is a powerful warrior, it is nothing.

As if walking on flat ground, Chen Bi quickly shuttled through the mountains and forests and continued to deepen.

Half an hour later.

Chen Bi had already explored the conditions of the mountains and forests around Datian Village, and successfully climbed over the first mountain and reached the deep mountain range.

Along the way,

He paid careful attention to the movements around him.

No abnormalities were found.

But Chen Bi had no intention of returning.

Already here.

He could not leave with peace of mind until the situation was determined.

Thinking of this,

Chen Bi was preparing to continue heading into the depths.

tread.

Heavy footsteps and the sound of breathing came from not far ahead.

Um? !

Chen Bi's eyes narrowed.

Posturing subconsciously.

Is it a beast?

still

He looked ahead of him.

The moonlight shines through the gaps between the branches and leaves.

It barely reflected a huge body slowly walking out of the forest.

And white hair.

A set of fangs flashed with a cold light.

A pair of clear yellow vertical pupils stared at Chen Bi like a will-o'-the-wisp in the dark night.

! ! !

Chen Bi's heart skipped a beat.

tiger!

He had never seen such a big tiger.

Transformation warrior.

In front of ordinary people, it is a powerful and unstoppable existence.

But it still does not exceed the limits of the human body.

Facing ordinary ferocious beasts, you may have the strength to fight.

But facing the tiger who is the king of the forest.

What's more, it's an obviously unusual tiger.

Chen Bi was not sure whether he could beat it.

He didn't want to try either.

You must find a way to escape.

Ever since.

rustle.

Chen Bi's feet moved slowly.

Under Bai Hu's cold gaze, he slowly retreated towards the back.

finally.

Uh-huh!

Chen Bi kicked his foot.

His body retreated violently.

He ran towards the back without looking back.

five minutes later.

Running around.

Um?

Chen Bi noticed something was wrong.

He stopped and looked behind him.

That tiger seems to have no intention of catching up?

Do you just want to expel me and prevent me from getting close to the mountains?

A thought flashed through Chen Bi's mind.

His curiosity about what existed in the deep mountains became more and more intense.

but,

The white tiger was lying there.

He didn't dare to approach rashly.

Approaching from other directions?

Chen Bi was not sure whether this encounter with Bai Hu was a coincidence or some other reason.

But in case, the other party is indeed guarding the mountains.

If he meets the other party again, he may not be able to escape so easily.

Chen Bi was in a dilemma.

At this time.

His ears twitched slightly.

I seem to hear some noise.

The sound sounded like someone's footsteps, approaching quickly in the direction where he was.

Uh-huh!

Under vigilance.

Chen Bi easily jumped up to the treetops to hide.

He held his breath and stared at the direction of the sound.

Not long after, a figure appeared under the tree.

The moment he saw this figure, Chen Bi's pupils suddenly shrank.

Dressed in black.

Wearing a monkey face mask.

Astonishingly, he is a member of the Holy Religion just like him.

And in terms of rank, he was several levels higher than him.

A strong person of this level has usually practiced a breathing method to perfection.

Far beyond what he can compare with.

In front of him, it is simply infatuated to want to hide his figure——

Chen Bigang thought of this.

The monkey-faced man under the tree suddenly raised his head.

"who?!"

Behind the mask, fierce eyes instantly passed through the obstruction of dense branches and leaves and fell on Chen Bi.

Uh-huh!

The words have not yet finished.

The monkey-faced man turned into a black line and rushed towards Chen Bi instantly.

Danger!

In Chen Bi's mind, alarm bells were ringing crazily.

The sharp sound of breaking through the air rang in my ears.

Dark shadows instantly occupied his eyes.

A critical moment.

Chen Bi's pupils were locked and his adrenaline was soaring.

You cannot allow the opponent to attack you.

Such a strong man is no match for him!

Thinking of this,

Chen Bi made a prompt decision.

Uh-huh!

Put your hands in the air.

"Big brother is one of his own!"

As soon as the words left his mouth.

fist,

It stopped dangerously on the tip of Chen Bi's nose.

My heart felt like it was going to jump out of my body.

Chen Bi's breathing was very rapid.

"Kyoto, Dongcheng Branch, direct supervisor."

He was eloquent.

Before the monkey-faced man could ask questions, he told all his identity in the Holy Cult, trying to win the other party's trust.

Two or three seconds after he finished speaking.

The fist slowly retracted.

The monkey-faced man squatted in front of Chen Bi.

There was still suspicion in his eyes, but Chen Bi's one-sided words did not dispel his suspicion.

"what are you doing here?"

The monkey-faced man asked coldly.

His body was ready for action.

As long as Chen Bi answered incorrectly, he would blow his head off instantly.

"I was ordered by Master Xuanwu to search for the target person with the induction bead."

Saying,

I’m afraid that the other party won’t believe me.

After obtaining the consent of the monkey-faced man, Chen Bi put his hand into his pocket and handed out the sensor bead.

Under the weak light, the light spots in the induction beads float quietly.

See this.

Only then did the vigilance in the monkey-faced man's eyes dissipate.

"Is this so?"

"It seems we have a common goal."

He nodded slowly.

"Yes."

"But since your Excellency has already searched this area, I will"

Chen Bi forced a smile and was about to leave.

Snapped!

But the monkey-faced man grabbed his shoulder.

He looked at Chen Bi playfully.

"It's all here."

"Why are you leaving in such a hurry?"

"You really don't want to take my credit."

"Or did you discover something?"

While talking.

The monkey-faced man's palms gradually tightened.

Chen Bi's shoulders hurt and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

"I originally planned to explore towards the mountains."

"But I encountered a tiger blocking the way. I was worried that I would not be my opponent, so I had to go down the mountain early."

He did not say anything about the tiger's unusual behavior.

Because once deep in the mountains, what if you really find something?

In order to ensure exclusive rewards, this monkey-faced man would probably silence him.

He must first find a way to escape before making other plans.

"Yeah?"

Unfortunately.

The monkey-faced man still didn't plan to let Chen Bi go.

He didn't even take a mere tiger seriously.

"You, come with me."

The words of the monkey-faced man were full of unquestionable meaning.

By now.

Chen Bi has no right to say no.

"yes."

He could only lower his head and respond.

The two set off together.

"Which direction did you meet the tiger just now?"

"there."

Under the guidance of Chen Bi.

The two soon came to the place where the white tiger appeared before.

Roar--

Their footsteps had just settled.

Not far in front of him, a low roar could be heard.

The monkey-faced man took a closer look.

as expected.

A white tiger with a body length of four meters looked at the two of them coldly not far away.

That tiger face still had an extremely human expression.

impatient.

Oh shit!

In Bai Hu's heart, he had already cursed.

When Chen Bi approached before, he was ordered by Chen Sheng to drive him away.

As a result, he didn't even have time to go far.

The other party actually turned back with someone.

If a real tiger doesn't show off its power, it will treat me as a bastard.

Think of this.

Bai Hu, who was becoming increasingly unhappy, let out a truly threatening growl and urged the two of them to leave.

Afraid that he was not scary enough, he still took cat steps and slowly approached the two of them.

He looked like he was going to eat people if he didn't leave.

If Chen Bi was the only one, he might not even dare to get close.

But now, there is still a monkey-faced man.

Faced with the threat of the white tiger, the monkey-faced man was not surprised but overjoyed.

Such a well-informed tiger, even if he did not find the mission target during this trip to the mountains.

If you capture this tiger and give it to a big shot in the Holy Religion, you might get a reward.

"Stand aside."

The monkey-faced man waved his hand gently, signaling Chen Bi to stay away.

"Don't even think about escaping."

"Run away and you'll die."

Upon hearing this.

Chen Bi's face became increasingly ugly.

But he didn't dare not listen, so he could only retreat to the side silently.

Faced with the white tiger who was approaching while growling.

Behind the mask.

The corners of the monkey-faced man's mouth were slightly raised.

"tiger?"

"You don't even rank among the creatures I kill."

The words just fell.

"suck--"

There was a strong inhalation sound.

Immediately afterwards.

In bursts of clicking sounds.

The figure of the monkey-faced man continues to grow taller, and his muscles continue to bulge.

In just the blink of an eye, he transformed into a little giant with a height of three meters and a slender and well-proportioned figure.

His eyes also turned into vertical pupils.

There are even patches of cyan nail flake texture on the surface of the skin.

tread.

Bai Hu's steps stopped.

A low growl continued to come from his throat.

Bai Hu's expression had changed from impatient to vigilant.

The body lay down slightly, preparing to pounce.

The monkey-faced man looks very bluffing.

Under the shadow brought by Chen Sheng.

White Tiger habitually thinks.

This upright ape.

It might be very strong!

"Come on, kitty."

"Let me see how good you are."

The monkey-faced man stuck out his forked tongue and licked the corner of his mouth.

His eyes were full of warlike light.
