The villain is above: the villain master's handbook

The old woman's house is only a few steps away from the end of the village to Mu Lian and the others.

At the end of the village, there is a tile-roofed house being repaired, which seems to be in much better condition than the thatched cottages in front of the village.

The yard of the tile-roofed house was cleaned neatly, and the utensils were neatly arranged. It could be seen that someone was often taking care of them.

And for those who are old and have bad thighs and feet, it is more difficult to do these tasks, so Mu Lian guessed that this is the little girl's house that the old woman said.

This time it was Li Xiaohe who took the initiative to knock on the door, knocked for a while, but no one responded.

Mu Lian swept it away with her divine sense, and said calmly, "There is no one in the room."

Xue Ren proposed to break into the house, both Mu Lian and Lu Xiu thought it was impolite, so they sat down in the yard and waited for the owner of the house to come back.

It was getting dark, and the sun had already set on the mountain, blocking its light.

Mu Lian remembered what the old woman said, and stood up.

"Since this girl advised grandma not to go out in the dark, how could she not come back so late? Could something have happened?"

Ye Hanzhou took a look at the surrounding environment and suggested, "Maybe we can ask her neighbors."

Mu Lian thought it was feasible, and knocked on doors from door to door to ask.

The people who opened the door were all old men and women. Seeing that they didn't look like bad people and knowing their reason for coming, they answered their questions enthusiastically.

Finally, they learned that the little girl living in the tile house was named Lan Xin, and she was unwilling to leave Rimu Village because her fiancé disappeared.

In the half month since her fiancé disappeared, she went out every day at dawn, went to the mountains to look for his fiancé, and came back before dark, but there was nothing.

Early this morning, Lan Xin went out again. The old man next door originally wanted to call her over for breakfast, but Lan Xin didn't hear her, and quickly left.

Looking at the direction she left, it was the direction of the village entrance.

Mu Lian and the others walked along the main road to the entrance of the village, looking at the four small roads leading to all directions.

The path forks again, leading to all directions.

"It seems that we have to act separately." Mu Lian pondered, then looked at Lu Xiu and said, "Lu Xiu, can you walk alone?"

When someone asks if it's okay, and that person is still the one he likes, I'm afraid any man will be very firm in his answer to this kind of question.

"I can!"

Finally, I will deeply interpret the meaning of the other party's words.

"Daoist Qingfeng, you don't have to worry about me."

Ye Hanzhou: "..."

His old friend is becoming more and more an eyesore, superficial.

Mu Lian didn't know what the two of them were thinking, and only looked at the mountains in front of them.

"Then how about this, Lu Xiu, you go one way. Liu Ying, Xue Ren, you choose one each, and I will bring Han Zhou and Xiao He together."

Xue Ren had a different opinion, "Let Li Xiaohe follow me, what if you are negligent with two of you."

Mu Lian thought it was feasible, so Li Xiaohe could only reluctantly follow Xue Ren away.

Mu Lian and Ye Hanzhou were the last to set off, leaving only the trail on the far right.

At the end of the path, it divided into two forks.

"Go to the left first."

The two followed the fork on the left and walked into the mountains.

It was getting late at this time, the moon was very round, exuding a faint yellow halo, and the stars were scattered in the jungle.

Mu Lian was bathed in the moonlight, and suddenly asked for no reason.

"Is it July and a half today?"

Ye Hanzhou replied: "No, tomorrow will be."

Looking at the crimson full moon, Mu Lian looked away.

"Ah."

He responded, and there was no further follow-up, and he continued to walk deep into the jungle.

Ye Hanzhou was a little confused, but kept up with Mu Lian's pace.

The two walked deeper and deeper, and the jungle became denser. The towering trees blocked the moonlight, and there was no light in this mountain.

Mu Lian took out two Ye Mingzhu from the ring and gave Ye Hanzhou one.

Bright and white light emanates from the night pearl, illuminating the surrounding environment.

This place is a bit similar to a tropical rainforest. There must be many poisonous snakes and beasts. Even the flowers and plants may be poisonous.

Mu Lian was a little puzzled. Is it really possible for a girl like Lan Xin to enter such a deep place?

If it really came in, for a mortal, it would undoubtedly be full of dangers, and one would die if he was not careful.

Mu Lian's heart sank, she closed her eyes, and her spiritual consciousness spread out.

The wet fallen leaves, the rustling reptiles, the scarlet eyes hidden in the depths of the jungle, the beast's hissing from the throat from time to time.

And... the outline of the soles of boots sunk in the wet mud beneath fallen leaves.

The footprints were small and extended into deeper places.

Those are the footprints of a woman.

Mu Lian came to a conclusion, and pulled Ye Hanzhou quickly along the direction of the footprints.

When encountering wild animals on the way, all the wild animals avoided by themselves.

There were also those who didn't have long eyes, and they approached Mu Lian and yelled, and they were directly divided into corpses by Ye Hanzhou's sword.

Look at Ye Hanzhou's indifferent and indifferent appearance, as if he doesn't feel that it is a living life at all.

Mu Lian originally wanted to say that those were small animals with no power to resist, but then thought of the people from Rimu Village who might enter this forest.

For monks, these beasts are naturally docile and cowardly animals.

But for mortals, that is a fatal danger.

Compared with beasts, human life is of course more important. When the two conflict, the trade-off is very obvious.

Ye Hanzhou's actions can be regarded as eradicating some hidden dangers for Rimu Village.

The two followed their footprints to a cave, and were about to go in, when two monsters suddenly jumped out from the side.

Although they are all low-level monsters, it is still very puzzling to appear in this kind of non-aura mortal forest.

Ye Hanzhou didn't say a word, the Miehun sword was unsheathed neatly, and swung down, blood was sprinkled on the fallen leaves on the ground.

Mu Lian walked over, her whole body was still pure white and flawless, not stained with dust or blood.

The cave is very humid, and the traces should not have been dug out for a long time.

The two galloped all the way along the cave, and after walking for about a stick of incense, they finally saw an open land outside the entrance of the cave.

Mu Lian's speed slowed down, he drew closer, stood at the entrance of the cave and looked down, a look of astonishment suddenly appeared on his face.

Ye Hanzhou followed closely behind, his pupils dilated slightly when he saw this, and his palms hanging on both sides were clenched tightly.

This is a tiankeng, and there are some people who don't know whether they are dead or alive at the bottom of the pit.

The location they are in now is a cave on the rock wall in the middle of the Tiankeng, at least 1000 meters away from the bottom of the pit.

What's even more surprising is that Mu Lian felt a faintly active fire element at the bottom of the pit. This place should be a dormant extinct volcano.

Don't think about it, such a big deal, it must be the masterpiece of the ghost clan.

Mu Lian looked serious, looked into the pit, and found the blood pool, and two blood crystals floating on the blood pool!
