Chapter 75 Night Attack

Chapter 75 Night Attack
Chu Qing's movements were faster than his voice. The moment he said "who is it", he rushed out.

But he didn't go far.

More than ten feet away, he stopped and came behind him gently.

"Do you smell anything?"

Chu Qing asked.

"It still only smells like a knife..."

Wenrou answered softly.

Chu Qing frowned slightly. There was no smell of a person, only the smell of a knife.

Did you see it wrong?

wrong!

Chu Qing is a killer, and is extremely sensitive to gazes and murderous intent.

Bai Qi once said that his talent in this area is far beyond that of normal people.

At that moment just now, he clearly felt a murderous intent quietly falling on him. When he turned around to look, he also vaguely saw a hazy figure.

But the figure came and went too quickly, and the moment he rushed out, it disappeared into the fog.

This layer of fog becomes the other party's natural protective color.

Chu Qing frowned slightly and looked back at Dong Xingzhi:
"What did Senior Dong see just now?"

Dong Xingzhi shook his head slightly:
"I didn't see anything..."

Dong Yubai snorted when he saw this:
"My second uncle didn't see anything, what can you see... wuwuwu..."

Before he could finish his words, Dong Xingzhi covered his mouth again.

Chu Qing glanced at Dong Yubai and ignored him, instead leading Wenrou to continue walking around the village.

The more he looked, the tighter Chu Qing's brows furrowed.

In every respect, the village is ordinary.

If I have to say something, it is that there is very little arable land in the village. Combined with the furnaces and forging tables in the middle of the village, it can be guessed that this village should make a living by casting weapons.

So the cultivated land is not as good as that of normal villages.

This is not surprising.

But why would someone set up a maze around a village like this?
Chu Qing and Wenrou first strolled around the roads in the village, and then randomly picked a house to check out.

The most eye-catching thing in this family is an altar.

There are two tablets enshrined on it.

But it does not belong to the ancestors of this family, but to the descendants.

It is a tragedy in the world for the elderly to see their loved ones die.

But in this era, it is not surprising... But when Chu Qing and Wen Rou stepped into the second house, they found that something was wrong.

This family also has four tablets, all of which are for the family’s descendants.

"This……"

Chu Qing and Wenrou looked at each other and stepped into the third door.

Same here!

The two of them walked through each door one by one. Some homes did not have tablets for descendants, but most of them did!

This doesn't make sense.

“Qingxi Village has never encountered any disasters from the underworld, and there are no signs of fighting or quarreling here.

"How come so many young and strong people died inexplicably?"

Chu Qing glanced at Wenrou.

Wenrou rubbed her nose and said:
"it's getting dark."

They had been wandering around the village all afternoon, and now the sun was setting.

Chu Qing and Wen Rou didn't find the answer to the question for the time being, so they returned to the center of the village.

Du Hanyan and the others had already returned. Chu Qing also saw the white horse named Bai Ge and the woman from Yanyu Tower standing on both sides clearly separated.

The girls were eyeing the horse covetously, while Brother Bai was digging the ground dejectedly.

In a hall not far away, there was flickering fire.

Chu Qing and Wenrou went straight into the main room and saw Du Hanyan, Cao Qiupu, and Dong Xingzhi, uncle and nephew, all there.

After seeing Chu Qing and Wen Rou, Du Hanyan smiled:

"You two are back? What did you gain?"

Wenrou glanced at Chu Qing again, and Chu Qing asked:
"Miss Du, do you have any plan to escape?"

Du Hanyan didn't care that he didn't answer but asked instead, she just nodded and said:
"This formation isn't too strange, give me some time and I can break it.

"But as the day progresses, if the mist in the mountains is added to the darkness, it will be pitch dark. It will be difficult to break the formation in this situation. We have to wait until tomorrow."

Chu Qing heaved a sigh of relief when he heard this:

"If that's the case, then we'll all rely on Miss Du."

"You are too polite, Third Young Master."

She didn't know Chu Qing's name. Wenrou said it was the Third Brother, but she didn't feel comfortable calling him the Third Brother.

Even though he didn't know Chu Qing's exact age, he could tell that he was a few years younger than himself, so he simply called him 'the Third Young Master'.

Dong Yubai was looking at Du Hanyan with an obsessed look on his face, but Du Hanyan didn't give him any respect.

Seeing Chu Qing come back and chat with Du Hanyan, he suddenly felt annoyed and couldn't help but said:
"Miss Du has taken great pains to break the formation, but some people are just polite to her, but in reality, they are of no help at all.

"You just pretend to be mysterious... I wonder if you have found that so-called 'person' this afternoon?"

As soon as these words came out, Cao Qiupu suddenly raised his head and looked at Chu Qing:
"The Third Young Master saw someone?"

Chu Qing sat down and nodded slightly:
“I felt someone was spying on me, but when I chased after him, he had disappeared into the fog.

"I only caught a glimpse of his gaze and a vague shadow in the dim light."

Cao Qiupu was about to say something when Dong Yubai spoke again:

"It's already this late, and you're still playing tricks here!

"Apart from us, where else is there anyone else here?"

Chu Qing didn't take this seriously. Wen Rou couldn't bear to listen to it anymore and couldn't help but give him a sidelong glance.

Chu Qing picked up a branch from the ground, broke it off and put it into the fire:

"No, even if the person I saw during the day was not a human, there are other people here."

Dong Yubai was about to refute when he heard Cao Qiupu nod:
"Indeed, I have been looking for him for a long time today, but I have not found any trace of him."

"Are you talking about the person who left his palm print on the stone tablet?"

Du Hanyan asked at this time.

Chu Qing and Cao Qiupu looked at each other and nodded at the same time.

That man had extraordinary palm power. When Chu Qing met Cao Qiupu and Du Hanyan, he thought it was left by them.

But then I felt it was not right.

Cao Qiupu came here chasing the white horse, and he didn't even know there was a maze here, so how could he leave any traces on the stone tablet?
As for Du Hanyan, it was even more impossible... The man who left the palm print had a large palm, and Du Hanyan's delicate hands could not leave such a large palm print.

However, Dong Xingzhi and Dong Yubai, the uncle and nephew, do not have such skills yet.

What's more, if it was really Dong Xingzhi who did it, after Du Hanyan said this, Dong Yubai would definitely rush to say that it was his second uncle who did it.

Now the uncle and nephew both looked confused. It was obvious that someone else must have left the palm print.

The atmosphere was silent for a moment, and Du Hanyan frowned slightly:
"This person has extraordinary palm power, and he doesn't show up. I'm afraid he has other intentions...

"Third Master, do you think he is the person you saw during the day?"

Chu Qing hesitated for a moment and shook his head:

"Can not be sure."

"No matter what, it's better to be careful."

Du Hanyan said:
"The situation here is unclear, so it's best to get out as soon as possible. Everyone should be alert tonight. I will go and break the formation tomorrow morning."

Entering this place by mistake was an accident. Who would have thought that after passing through a layer of fog, they would inexplicably enter a village?

The weirdness of this village is already obvious. At this point, no one with a bit of common sense would want to create trouble.

Chu Qing agreed with Du Hanyan's words, so he found a place in the main room and sat down gently.

The atmosphere gradually quieted down.

Afterwards, everyone prepared food and drinks by the fire, and there was not much to say.

In the blink of an eye, the sky became completely dark.

Except for Brother Bai, everyone else has already come into the room.

I don’t know if it’s because of the fog outside that makes the night particularly dark. A faint cold wind blows in through the gaps in the windows, causing the fire to flicker.

Chu Qing, who was sitting cross-legged and practicing Qigong, suddenly opened his eyes.

After a while, Du Hanyan and Cao Qiupu also raised their heads:

"There's movement."

There was indeed movement, the sound of footsteps... but not normal footsteps.

The sound sounded like the sound made by a drunk walking on the road.

But the problem is, there are too many noises. It is impossible for so many people to be drunk and come here at the same time.

The most crucial point is that they have checked the entire village during the day and did not find any living people.

Who would suddenly come to my house? Where was he during the day?
As doubts arose in my mind, I heard a loud bang and the main door was knocked open from the outside.

It was autumn now and the weather was getting colder. The cold wind blew into the main room through the broken door, making Dong Yubai, who was sleeping with his clothes covered, shiver.

He opened his eyes, and before he could see clearly who was in front of him, he started to curse:
"Who opened the door in the middle of the night? Is he sick?"

As he spoke, his eyes were completely open.

Standing in front of him was a farmer in his fifties.

His body was crooked and looked awkward no matter how you looked at it. He stood there with an axe in his right hand, looking at Dong Yubai quietly.

Dong Yubai was frightened by him, but when he came to his senses, he became furious:
"How dare you scare your uncle Dong? Are you looking for death?"

After saying that, he jumped up, swung his right hand and wanted to give the old man a slap in the face.

"stop!!"

Cao Qiupu's eyes widened, and he thought to himself, are all the young people hanging around in society nowadays so brave?
The situation in front of him was obviously not right, but he just went up and beat someone without even asking a single question?

Didn't his uncle stop him?
As soon as this thought came to mind, the old man suddenly looked up, with an unusually strange black glow in his eyes.

Then, the arm that seemed to be broken suddenly swung the hatchet in its hand at an incredible speed.

Dong Yubai came quickly and left quickly.

He was fine when he came, but when he left, there was a "one" cut on his chest.

He lay on the ground without realizing what was happening, but the intense pain eventually reminded him that it was time to scream.

The shrill cries made the night even more solemn.

Dong Xingzhi woke up as if from a dream. For a moment, he didn't know whether he should check on his nephew's injuries first, or deal with this old man whose origin was unknown.

But it didn't matter that he didn't know what to do, the old man was very purposeful.

He stepped forward, turned the hatchet in his hand again, and chopped directly at Dong Xingzhi's neck.

Dong Xingzhi was not as useless as Dong Yubai after all. He moved to avoid the knife and struck the old man on the back with his palm.

He hated him for being too ruthless and leaving Dong Yubai no chance to survive.

The palm strike was not held back and directly hit the old man's back so hard that it collapsed.

He staggered towards the fire.

Dong Xingzhi was certain that the old man was dead, so he quickly bent over to check Dong Yubai's injuries.

But he didn't expect that the old man suddenly turned around and chopped down at his head again.

This time, the attack turned into an elbow attack. Even Dong Xingzhi had no time to resist. He stepped back hastily, but he felt his hair loosen and all fell down.

The old man cut off the hairband on his head with this knife.

"you wanna die!!"

Dong Xingzhi was so angry that he flew forward and punched the old man seven times in a row.

He was hit so hard that all the bones in his chest were broken. He flew out like a rag bag and hit the wall on one side of the main room hard.

I didn't know what was broken this time, but I heard the sound of a mechanism clicking.

An entire wall suddenly rumbled down, revealing a dark tunnel.

This change was beyond everyone's expectations.

At the same time, the sound of footsteps came from outside the door.

The old man before was just the first one, and there were dozens or even hundreds of such people following him.

Judging from their clothes, they should be the missing villagers in this village.

It disappeared without a trace during the day, but suddenly jumped out at night...

Du Hanyan narrowed her eyes slightly. She had seen what the old man had done just now. If this group of people joined forces, it would be difficult to deal with them.

But when I looked back at the secret passage, I felt that this was definitely not the best solution.

The situation in the secret passage is difficult to guess. If you rush in at this time, you may end up in a dead end.

So she made a prompt decision:
"Let's break out!"

Before she could finish her words, she saw Chu Qing leading Wenrou and almost reaching the main door of the hall.

"This guy……"

Du Hanyan was speechless, but she did not dare to delay. She led her fellow sisters and rushed into the crowd to try to break out.

It's just that this group of people are really too weird. Their martial arts don't look like martial arts, and there is no method in their attacks. But when they brandish their weapons, they burst out with extremely sharp sword light.

And they are also very difficult to kill.

Even if his bones are broken, he can still stand there and chop you like nothing happened.

Du Hanyan had no good way to break the formation for a moment. At this moment, the sound of horses neighing was heard, and Brother Bai rushed forward, knocking down all the villagers who seemed to have lost their minds wherever he passed.

He trotted all the way to Cao Qiupu and snorted loudly with full of disdain, as if to tell Cao Qiupu: At the critical moment, you still have to look to me, right?
Cao Qiupu was overjoyed and immediately ordered Bai Ge to turn his horse around and break out.

After this battle, Du Hanyan immediately led his disciples and followed Cao Qiupu out of the hall.

The stars are dim tonight and thick fog covers the sky.

In the fog, human figures were looming, and the small square in the entire village seemed to have been completely surrounded.

Chu Qing and Wen Rou were also unable to leave. They stood not far ahead, watching the enemies coming from all directions.
