"Quiet."
Village Chief's residence In the front hall, Wang Chen raised his hand and said in a deep voice.
His voice was not loud, but it sounded like thunder in everyone's ears. A group of villagers who came for help immediately closed their mouths, showing panic and uneasiness.
They seemed to suddenly realize that this young village chief was Master Purple Mansion!
The whole room was so silent that you could hear a pin drop.
Wang Chen saw everyone's expressions in his eyes. He waved his sleeves and popped out a pill with his finger.
The pill was held by an invisible force and suspended in front of a villager.
"Eat Healing Pill first, and then tell me in detail about the bandits."
There are priorities.
Compared with losing the cow, finding Burrowing Rat, the top priority was that the two villagers were kidnapped by the bandits.
Since traveling through the Jade Dragon Mountain Range to West Sea Spirit Domain and settling in Datian Village, Wang Chen has always felt that the environment here is very peaceful. People have no worries about food and clothing, live a stable life, and are even leisurely and wealthy.
There is no threat from Evil Spirits, and there is no demon cultivator Evil Cultivator. Although there are rivers and lakes wherever there are people, and intrigues are inevitable, overall, it is much stronger than Yunyang's hometown back then.
Especially Wancheng City, there are almost no beggars or homeless people.
But now Wang Chen realizes that there may be an undercurrent lurking under the calm surface. He has been here for too short a time, has contact with few people, has very little information, and what he has learned is naturally superficial.
"Thank you, Mr. Village Chief."
The villager's face was pale, his right hand was covering his chest, and he coughed from time to time.
It was when he and his companions encountered bandits while going up the mountain to cut firewood. Although they escaped by chance, they were slapped in the air, hurting their internal organs and suffering serious internal injuries.
After eating Healing Pill given by Wang Chen, the villager's injuries recovered at a speed visible to the naked eye.
A trace of color soon appeared on his face, and his voice became louder.
He told Wang Chen that what he and others encountered were a group of masked bandits in gray clothes. The thieves did not show their name and started robbing people very fiercely.
This villager had a chance to escape because he had practiced his body skills and ran the fastest when he noticed danger.
Wang Chen asked after listening, "Have you ever encountered bandits before?"
The villagers looked at each other, and no one dared to answer.
Wang Chen's eyes flashed, and he said with a serious face, "Are you afraid to say it or don't want to say it? Could it be that you are connected with the bandits?"
This is not a malicious frame-up by him. At least eight out of ten Rogue Cultivator cities in the Dongcang Continent Outer Region have some unexplained involvement with bandits.
Some small towns are even dens of bandits!
Although West Sea Spirit Domain is the place under the jurisdiction of the largest immortal gate West Sea Sect, as the saying goes, the sky is high and the emperor is far away. This place is more than ten thousand miles away from the West Sea Sect mountain gate, and it is a marginal area on the edge.
In a village like Datian Village, the actual ruler is a local tycoon like Mr. Huang.
The presence of bandits around is nothing outlandish.
When Wang Chen's big hat was pulled off, the villagers were immediately frightened. One of them replied tremblingly, "The adults are wise, but the villains must not dare!"
Bandits have been around since ancient times, and there are more than one group around Datian Village.
To the south of Datian Village is the Jade Dragon Mountain range. There are many mountainous forests nearby, making it the best hiding place for bandits.
Under normal circumstances, bandits in the mountains would not easily attack the villages below.
The premise is to pay a protection fee.
But sometimes, some bandits would do evil things and rob villagers in order to replenish their manpower.
These abducted villagers have never seen anyone dead or dead, and the possibility of returning safely is extremely slim.
In the past, when bandits were making trouble, Wancheng City also sent Battle Cultivator to encircle and suppress them, and even Master Purple Mansion was dispatched.
As for the outcome, no one knew, and it was settled later.
Datian Village I have encountered this kind of thing in the past. It has been uneventful in recent years, but I didn't expect it to happen again.
Is everything safe?
Wang Chen sneered secretly.
His ex has been missing for two years!
If there is nothing fishy here, the character "" in his surname Wang is written backwards!
"Take me to the place where the accident happened now."
Without any explanation from the other party, Wang Chen directly grabbed the villagers who came to report the news, "The others will go back and wait for the news."
He walked out of the front hall, activated his magic power and flew into the air.
The villagers who were caught in the hands of Wang Chen were so frightened that their minds went blank, and they confusedly pointed the way to Wang Chen.
In full view of everyone, Wang Chen flew all the way over the village and Spirit Field, and flew into the rolling mountains.
After flying for almost ten miles, he landed in a mountain forest.
This mountain forest is a place where villagers often come to cut firewood. There are tree stumps growing with mushrooms everywhere.
"I remember they came from that direction."
The villager who had just landed pointed to the northwest with a trembling finger. "I saw six or seven people."
"Okay."
Wang Chen nodded. "Go back by yourself, and I will chase you."
No matter what is strange about this matter, these bandits robbing the villagers of Datian Village are a blatant provocation to him.
Wang Chen If he sits idly by and ignores it, he will no longer have any reputation or prestige in the village!
Don't even think about passing West Sea Sect's entrance examination.
The villager swallowed and said, "Sir, be careful."
"Yeah."
Wang Chen glanced at the other party, and then suddenly disappeared.
The next moment, he appeared a hundred steps away.
In an instant, he disappeared into the dense woods.
Wang Chen did not just search in one direction, but walked around in a circle, looking for traces left by the robbers.
He soon made a discovery.
The passing geese leave a sound, and the passing people leave traces. Unless they are flying high and high in the sky, it is impossible for a group of people to shuttle back and forth in the mountains and forests without leaving traces.
Wang Chen found the footprints left by the bandits on the ground.
Although the footprints were very shallow, it would have been difficult to find them if he hadn't used Divine Sense to scan them.
Wang Chen did not follow these footprints because it was too inefficient and very slow.
He concentrated his magic power on his fingertips and drew a virtual tracking talisman.
The tracking talisman is a first-level intermediate talisman. Since few people buy this Talismans, the usage is also very small.
Therefore, Wang Chen has never been refined before.
But he has already mastered the basic Talismans, and Basic Talisman Crafting has reached the level of Great Perfection level.
Drawing the void with your fingers, condensing energy into a talisman, it's just a matter of leisure!
"Duh!"
Wang Chen suddenly waved his hand, and the tracking talisman that had just appeared suddenly exploded, and dots Spiritual Light instantly merged into his eyes.
Wang Chen's eyes Spiritual Light flashed, and the traces on the ground suddenly became clear and vivid.
And it extends deep into the dense forest.
Wang Chen followed these traces and looked forward, his eyes became sharp! ——
The first update is here, there will be more later.
