Chapter 931.
Zhang Shitou was an outsider, belonging to the minority of villagers with different surnames in Leaning Mountain Village.
According to the old village chief, he had lost both of his parents since he was young, and had always relied on hunting for a living, and because of his violent temperament, he usually had a lot of disagreements with the people in the village, and Zhang Xiaoqi wasn’t the only one who had fallen out.
This was the reason why the old village chief did not think of it in the first place.
Zhang shi head’s home is not in the village, but a long distance away in the mountains and forests, there are no other families around a few hundred paces, just a lonely wooden house.
Because he was ostracized by the village people, Zhang Shitou seldom interacted with other villagers, and the hides and bacon he hunted were handed over to the footmen to be exchanged for various kinds of living materials.
Although his household registration was in Guanshan Village, he actually lived a solitary life.
When Wang Duan and the old village chief found Zhang Shitou’s house, the door of this wooden house was closed tightly without any movement.
Wang Chuan broke the copper lock hanging on the door and directly broke in.
This Zhang Shitou’s home is not much different from most of the villagers, with some simple furniture inside, and some dried meat and other things hanging from the beams.
But the moment he stepped into the room, Wang Chen instantly felt that the Demon Discriminating Talisman in his arms was slightly warm.
He searched the room without moving.
There was nothing to be found.
At this moment, one of the village guards from Leaning Mountain Village said, “Zhang shi should have run off to Tiger Head Mountain to hunt, he often goes over there and has built a small house there, sometimes he lives there when it’s late!”
Wang Duan asked in a deep voice, “Where is Tiger Head Mountain?”
The village protector immediately went out to point out the way for Wang Duan, “It’s right there, visible, over ten miles past the mountain road.”
Wang Dust followed the direction of his finger and saw a mountain range shaped like a tiger’s head.
“My lord, it’s about to get dark.”
Seeing Wang Chuan’s intention to go over, the old village chief quickly said, “It’s dangerous in the mountains at night!”
He was afraid that Wang Chuan was young and impetuous, not knowing the dangers deep in the mountains, and rashly ran off to look for Zhang Shitou.
If something happened to Wang Chen, then he, the village chief, would not be able to get out of it!
“No harm done.”
Wang Dust said indifferently, “It’s not too late, I’ll go over and take a look now, and come back if I don’t find anyone.”
The old village chief hurriedly said, “Then let Tie Zhu take you there!”
As a result, just as his words fell, Wang Dust had already swept forward like an arrow out of the string and disappeared in the blink of an eye into the vast mountain forest.
Leaving behind the old village chief and a few villagers looking at each other in disbelief!
Wang Chuan’s realm had been upgraded to the fifth rank of Martial Sect, his strength had increased tenfold compared to the previous one, and once his stance was unfolded, his vital energy flowed unceasingly within his body, and the whole person swept through the mountains and forests as if he were flying.
Not long after, Wang Chen arrived at Tiger Head Mountain.
He immediately launched a search and soon found a hunter’s hut in the dense forest.
What surprised Wang Dust was that in front of this hut, a burly man with a sturdy figure was wielding an axe and chopping firewood!
“Zhang Shitou?”
Hearing Wang Duan’s voice, the burly man shook and turned around while holding his axe.
His appearance was rough, with a pair of tiger eyes gleaming and an extremely stern gaze, “Who are you?”
“Linjiang Guards, Little Flag Ling Zhiyuan.”
Thirty paces apart, Wang Dust said in a deep voice: “Zhang Shitou, your affair is over!”
At this time, the sky was darkening, and darkness was coming, while the Demon Discriminating Talisman in Wang Dust’s arms was hot to the touch.
This talisman had obviously sensed a strong demonic qi!
People had life qi, and demons had demonic qi, and this was exactly the principle that the Demon Discriminating Talisman could be used to identify demons.
However, under normal circumstances, a demon that occupies a human body will astringe its own aura, so the Demon Discriminating Talisman must be at close range to be effective.
However, the demonic aura emanating from this Zhang Shi’s body can actually make the Demon Discriminating Talisman react even at a distance of 30 paces!
Doesn’t it fit?
Clang!
Wang Chen pulled out the Goose Plume Sword he was wearing.
“Heh!”
Zhang shi Tou laughed, his laugh low and hoarse, and his eyes staring at Wang Chen quickly became bizarre, his pupils transmitting a crimson glow.
“Ling Zhiyuan, I’ve been waiting for you for a long time!”
Before Zhang shi’s words fell, two bizarre figures silently appeared in the direction of Wang Chen’s left and right sides.
It was just the right time to form an encirclement on Wang Dust!
Wang Chuan’s heart lit up, “Subterranean Dragon Society!”
Undoubtedly, this was a killing trap laid by the Subterranean Dragon Society against himself.
But how did the other party know that he was coming to Leaning Mountain Village to investigate the murder case? And how could they guarantee that they would definitely come here?
Wang Dust speculated that there was more than one of the same bureau, depending on where he landed!
Moreover, inside the Linjiang Guards, nine times out of ten, there were spies of the Subterranean Dragon Society hiding, or there were Blood Clothes Guards who tipped them off.
“You’re smart!”
A masked black-clothed man hissed, “It’s a pity that we took the deal to kill you, or else it wouldn’t be bad to recruit you into the Subterranean Dragon Society.”
Wang Dust laughed, “A person who hides his head and reveals himself as a chicken and dog thief is also worthy of recruiting me?”
“How dare you!”
The other black-clothed man became furious, instantly tearing off the face scarf on his face, and said in a fierce voice, “Ling Zhiyuan, don’t worry, I will slowly play with you to death!”
Wang Chen swept a glance at the other party, the latter’s appearance was unfamiliar, but the aura it revealed clearly reached the level of a Martial General!
It was estimated that his companion was also a Martial General, plus a Bloodsucking Fang of unknown strength, against the sixteen year old Wang Dust, he indeed had a crushing advantage!
However, this was only the judgment of the Subterranean Dragon Society’s side.
Wang Dust smiled and said, “How much silver did Ling Hongfeng offer, I’ll give double!”
Wang Dust’s words were obviously greatly unexpected by the two men, one of them froze before saying, “It’s useless for you to offer ten times as much, we must complete the task when we take it, but you can also pay for Ling Hongfeng’s life!”
This kind of job of eating the defendant and then the plaintiff, the Subterranean Dragon Society had never done less, and earned a lot of money.
“I’m curious ……”
Wang Dust was noncommittal, and his gaze went to Zhang Shi, “When did the Subterranean Dragon Society collude with the demons?”
Zhang Shi grinned, “There are many things you don’t know!”
As he spoke, two sharp canine teeth came out from the corners of his lips, the muscles of his entire body began to swell and twist, a single vein wriggled like a snake’s earth under the skin membrane, and his eyes, nose, and ears showed signs of alienation at the same time.
Poof!
The Demon Discriminating Talisman in Wang Chen’s arms unexpectedly went up in smoke in an instant!
At the same moment, Zhang Shitou leapt forward and landed on the ground, running towards Wang Dust with his hands and feet.
In an instant, the distance between the two sides shortened to within ten paces!
This was a very dangerous distance, and Wang Chuan could even smell the stench of blood spewing out of “Zhang Shi”‘s mouth.
“Die!”
Zhang shi jumped up and swung his huge palm towards Wang Chuan’s head, and a sharp hook and claw popped out from the tips of his five fingers at the same time.
