After hearing Meng Zhixue's words, the students all quickly rushed around the bandit camp and ran towards the deep mountains.

As the mountain becomes deeper, the road becomes more and more rugged. On the side of the road, you can occasionally see some farmlands cultivated on the deep hillsides and plant some crops. Everyone can ride horses at this time, and on this rugged mountain road, they will walk more slowly. However, only Meng Zhixue's snow deer and square white horse, one is agile and the other is strong, and can barely maintain the previous speed.

Originally, under the plan of everyone, they arrived at Heishan Ridge in the afternoon and could go back after inspection. However, when they arrived at Heishan Ridge, they saw that the sun in the west was already hanging on the top of the mountain, and at some point they were about to fall to the bottom of the mountain.

The night is coming in the mountains, and at this time there is already a faint dusk.

"Yuqian Town is here..."

At this moment, Yu Qingli looked at the map and whispered to everyone.

Everyone rode down a hillside and looked forward, and saw a small town hidden in the night, with stone mills of thatched huts, stone mills, small bridges and bamboo forests, dark, no lights were seen, nor did they hear the roars and dogs barking. The night wind passed through the middle of the town, swept the branches and leaves, and passed through the dilapidated window, and made a whimpering sound, giving people a depressing and gloomy feeling.

"This Yuqian Town was built by those refugees who flocked to the mountains to reclaim wasteland. There are many such villages in the deep mountains. Yuqian Town is already considered to be a large one, with hundreds of families and hundreds of villagers, but seven days ago, they all disappeared in one day!"

Meng Zhixue whispered, saying, "Before I came, I received instructions from my master. He guessed that there are many monsters in the mountains, and those monsters never talk about the limit. He likes to kidnap people and seize the innate weather the most. Therefore, this strange thing is mostly done by monsters. We don't have to worry too much. We just need to investigate it for a long time and just see if there are any traces left by the monsters in this village!"

Everyone nodded and said, "No need to go down!"

Everyone came to the village and dispersed left and right, checking the traces in the village.

Anyone who walks by will leave traces. This is Emperor Rossell... No, this is common sense in his previous life!

The Qi Refining Students in this world may not know this sentence, but they obviously know this truth.

After dispersing, they went from the east to the west to the west to each other to inspect the houses.

Someone rummaged through the cabinets and came back in a moment, saying, "The copper plate in the cabinet is still there, so these people must not leave voluntarily!"

Someone took out the compass and walked around the village. He turned around in a moment and said, "There is no problem with the terrain and Feng Shui, it will not be the transformation of the earth veins into demons!"

Someone picked up a cage, walked around the village, and then looked at the little red-mouthed bird with its neck shrank inside, saying, "The white-haired bird who is most afraid of ghosts was not scared to death, which means there is no residual ghost energy in the village, and it is not done by ghosts!"

Someone next to him added: "There is no residual ghost energy, which even means that those people did not die in the village!"

"There are no signs of fighting in the village, and it shouldn't be those bandits..."

He Zhenzhang frowned and said, "If the bandits attacked and abducted this village, no matter what, they would leave traces of fighting and fighting. These villages in the mountains are not easy to meet. Things are difficult in the world. If the bandits come, they dare to resist!"

Everyone came back from exploring, pondering for a moment, frowned slightly.

The village is very strange. It is obvious that the people in the whole village, both young and old, have disappeared. However, when I observe it now, I find that there is no trace of fighting and struggle, and there is not even a trace of blood. Some people still cook corn porridge in the stove, but it has been cooked dry. Some people have half-eat pickles on the table, and some people have freshly cut fish fat on their bedside...

At first glance, it seemed as if suddenly, the whole village left together.

"The evil cultivator has some methods that may use the method of soul-catching to quietly lead the people in the village away without leaving any trace..."

After pondering for a while, someone began to guess.

He Zhenzhang heard this and said, "If there are really evil cultivators coming to cast spells, then the other party must have extremely skilled magical powers. He may have practiced the Golden Pill Divine Realm. In this way, he can capture the people of the whole village and leave the village obediently. Otherwise, at least four or five evil cultivators in the foundation building realm would have to cast spells together to achieve this step. However, if there are divine Qi Refiners, why should they come to our small place like Liuhu to do this sneaky activity? If four or five evil cultivators in the treasure realm come to our Liuhu City at the same time, the several masters and the city guards in the academy would have noticed it. Therefore, the possibility of transiting evil cultivators is not high..."

As everyone pondered, Yu Qingli, who was the most careful, walked over.

He whispered: "I found a few bloody fox skins in a house west of the village!"

When everyone heard this, they were all shocked and came to a thatched hut in the west of the village. They saw bows, arrows, swords and guns hanging on the wall, as well as some hunting clips. They knew in their hearts that this should be where hunters in the village lived. Looking at the wall, the fox skins hanging on the wall had been nearly half dried. I thought it had been seven or eight days, so I looked at each other and had a faint answer in my heart.

...

...

"This place is not far from the demon cave of Qinghu Mountain!"

Yu Qingli said slowly: "These monsters are most flawed. They will come out from time to time to deceive and harm people. If the hunters in the village accidentally slander their kind, then there are also gathering a group of demons in the mountains to come out of the cave to harm people. Everyone must remember that fox monsters are born to be good at soul-catching skills. If they take action together, ordinary villagers may not be able to resist!"

Everyone nodded silently.

There is nothing new under the sun!

Before they came here, they suspected that the disappearance of the village was related to the monsters in the mountains.

Now that I discovered this fox skin, I have verified my own conjecture. Moreover, whether it is based on the traces in this village or the means of controlling the people, the only ones who can achieve this step are except for the evil cultivators passing by, there are only the monsters in the mountains!

Then at this moment, Meng Zhixue frowned slightly and said, "There is still some evidence missing!"

When everyone heard this, they remained silent.

Their mission to this trip was to find out the truth about the disappearance of the villagers in the village. The academy even asked them to come over to see if there were any monsters in the village. If they were asked to come over to verify whether this matter was really done by the monster cave, they had already investigated and could actually leave. However, seeing that Meng Zhixue was still hesitant, and the sky was dark, he could only find a place to discuss it temporarily.

"When we came, we saw a dilapidated temple on the mountain outside the village. You might as well rest there for a night!"

He Zhenzhang proposed, and everyone agreed.

The village can accommodate them, but they cannot tolerate such dilapidated huts and sour quilts. In addition, they went to the mountains to investigate the case in the middle of the night and would not be separated rashly, so as not to get stuck and rest in the dilapidated temple.

Anyway, they are all qi-refining men, and they breathe and breathe, and the night passes.

"The demon cave was located outside Liuhu City for hundreds of years, and there were troubles. If they were willing to be at peace with Liuhu City, they would have tolerated them here. Unfortunately, those demons never stopped calming down. Most of the disasters that happened in Liuhu City in recent decades are related to them. If the abductor in this town is really related to them, then they are really looking for death..."

"It should have been apart from this group of demons!"

"I just heard that demons harm people occasionally before, but now I dare to take away the people in a town. It's really damn!"

"We Qi Refiners should have taken it as their responsibility to kill demons and eliminate demons. How could we let demons run rampant?"

When they arrived at the temple, everyone was still discussing and chatting, they became more and more angry and murderous intent!

Fangcun raised a fire at this time and took a good rest. Hearing this, he said with some suspicion: "I don't think it must be done by those demons. If they really retaliate and kill these villagers directly, why must they kidnap them?"

After hearing this, the students from the academy around him felt that they were in a state of anger and felt like they were poured with cold water.

After a while, a student smiled faintly and said, "After all, Mr. Fang is still short in his practice, but he doesn't know that this demon acts very different from my Qi Refiners. For Qi Refiners, stealing people's innate energy is the most serious crime in the world, and no one dares to do it. However, monsters regard this as a matter of natural deeds and love stealing people's innate energy the most. As the source of practice, these demons have to take revenge, but killing people directly is wasted. They take people away and eat away their innate energy bit by bit. This is called vicious..."

The others laughed and said, "Yes, this is common sense!"

“…”

“…”

Listening to their jokes, Fangcun lowered his head and did not answer, thinking in his heart.

Demons love to steal people's innate energy the most, so Fangcun naturally knew that many of the demons he eliminated did this. But what surprised him was that the demons in the mountains were not unaware that the Qi Refiners were most afraid of this. Someone could not hold back and caused one person to two people. But it was okay to kidnap the people of a town all at once. This was a great fear.

How could these demons have such courage?

Seeing Fangcun lowering his head and silent, Meng Zhixue thought he was hit. She moved slightly, as if she wanted to comfort her, but she didn't know how to speak.

At this moment, everyone suddenly heard a slight sound of wolf howling and ghosts came from outside the temple, and there were some crying sounds.

All the students were stunned, jumped up and rushed out of the temple.

Standing on the high slope and looking northeast, I saw that in the distant night sky, smoke rose like a fire under the bright moon, but the smoke not only floated up, but circled like a living thing, circling like a demonic energy. When I looked closely, I could see that blood light emerged, which was revealed when someone was slaughtered...

Seeing this, all the students' faces changed drastically. Someone rushed to use his magic power to his eyes, and then he saw a divine light flashing in his eyes. He looked closely. The scene in the distance was getting closer and closer, and his expression suddenly became cold and harsh. He shouted: "There are demons slaughtering the village!"

When they came, they had seen from a distance that there was a small village in that direction!
