Chapter 1. What is Dad thinking?
As the sun sets, Pan Long was walking anxiously on the city tower of Dingfeng Town, looking far away from the north from time to time.
For the first time he traveled to this world for sixteen years, he was so nervous and anxious.
"Dad, Dad, you must come back safely!"
Seeing that he was anxious like an ant on a hot pan, the North Gate Captain Han Ting advised: "Along, don't worry. Brother Zhuangwu is the number one master in our Dingfeng Town. He can produce tigers and leopards and break rocks with palms. He has led a team to hunt monsters for many years, and he has succeeded smoothly every time, and it must be the same this time."
Han Junwei's son, his little boy, also nodded repeatedly: "Yes, Along, you are simply scaring yourself. Where are there any powerful monsters around our Dingfeng Town? Uncle Han will definitely not be a problem!"
Pan Long forced a smile, but did not answer, but was still anxious.
He knew my father's skills. As Han Junwei said, ordinary monsters will definitely not threaten the number one master of Dingfeng Town "Iron Palm Pan Zhuangwu". But that means that my father is healthy, but... I was injured before going out this time!
Half a month ago, my father suddenly said that he had something urgent to go out. A few days ago, he came back in a hurry and hid in the quiet room to heal his wounds. In the past few days, he almost drank the soup for caring his internal organs as porridge. The injury was so serious that it was worrying.
In this case, he insisted on leading the team to hunt monsters, which naturally made Pan Long very worried.
Judging from common sense in martial arts, people who suffer from severe internal injuries often need to rest for a long time. Not to mention fighting monsters, they have to stop practicing martial arts every day. Only after the internal injuries recover to 60% or 70% can they start to resume exercise. As for fighting in battle, unless they are absolutely necessary to have a life or death attack, they must try their best to avoid it no matter what.
My father must understand these principles better than him. But why didn’t he listen to his advice and insist on hunting monsters?
Could this be the stubbornness of the old man?
"Oh! Why are people in their early forties so stubborn that they are like an old man!"
He sighed in his heart, but could not say these words - his father told him that the matter of his injury must be kept confidential and no one could tell him.
After being a human being for two lives, his experience is naturally much better than that of an ordinary boy. His father said so seriously that he could guess the reason.
As the number one master in Dingfeng Town, Pan Lei and Pan Zhuangwu are inevitably in need of showing his martial arts skills. His internal injuries are not light, and it is unlikely that he will keep it hidden. On the contrary, this time the monster hunting can take the opportunity to get injured. After he comes back, he can recover from the name of this injury to avoid revealing what he had been injured before.
To put it bluntly, my father Pan Lei wanted to act in such a scene to hide his injuries.
There is nothing wrong with this plan, but the question is, why did my father hide the previous injury?
Since the demon hunting team set out, Pan Long has been considering this issue.
Dingfeng Town is not big, with only more than 1,000 households and a population of more than 1,000. My father is the number one master in Dingfeng Town, and he has an official position. There are many officials and martial arts masters in the family, and he can be called local tyrants. Not to mention the chief magistrate appointed by Bei'an Bo, even the imperial court's patrol envoys would respect him a little, and he was a well-known figure in the entire Bei'an County. With their identity, as long as he does not cause trouble, there will basically be no trouble.
As long as families like them are not stubborn and go with the flow, they can always be healthy and healthy. Unless they encounter those chaotic times that are once every hundreds of years, neither officials nor bandits will come to their troubles.
But why did my father be so nervous and even take risks to hide his injuries?
Whose investigation he wants to avoid?
Obviously, these questions can only be answered from Dad after he comes back.
But... can Dad come back safely?
This is what he is most worried about now.
Dingfeng Town is located in the northern part of Yongzhou. Although it has not crossed the Jincheng defense line and has not really penetrated into the Great Wilderness, it is already a real border of Jiuzhou. The legendary giant monsters that are as terrifying as mountains have never appeared, but they can easily kill a group of hunters and even dangerous monsters that fight against the army have appeared more than once.
Among those monsters, those with great strength can tear the strong armor, and those with fast speed can kill several people in the blink of an eye. But they are not the most terrifying. What is really terrifying are some particularly strange monsters. They obviously don’t look very eye-catching, but they have strange abilities, which make people fall into trouble without realizing it and die in a daze.
About twenty years ago, Dingrao Town, two hundred miles away to the west, encountered such a strange monster. In just one month, more than 800 people died in Dingrao Town, and hundreds of people died in the night with the largest number of people!
The huge Dingrao Town was terrified by it, and everyone was in danger. The entire town almost completely collapsed. In the end, an expert who had experienced many battles and even entered the Great Wilderness to hunt demons many times was transferred from the Jincheng defense line to kill him.
At that time, the demon hunting expert summoned more than ten masters to help, and the young Pan Lei was among them. Over the years, Pan Lei told his son about the scene at that time more than once, and every time he seemed lingering fear.
Even with the team led by the demon hunting expert, more than half of the dozen masters were killed or injured. In the end, there were only three people who could be killed and not seriously injured.
Pan Lei was lucky enough to be one of these three people, but that terrifying night still left deep scars in his heart.
Pan Long has never experienced such a battle, but from the world of technological development with developed information, he can use the impression he got from film, television and animation works to compare his father's description to imagine the scene at that time.
It made him creepy, filled him with worry, and could not feel any sense of security in the world.
Since his father first told the monster hunting that year, he deeply felt the danger of this world. From then on, he practiced hard every day and tried hard to make himself stronger. At the age of sixteen, he was already the undisputed number one master in the young generation of Dingfeng Town. Among those under the age of thirty, no one could win him.
But he felt it wasn't enough, far from enough!
His strength is far inferior to his father. A "master" like him can beat ten at a time. If he is serious, he may be able to beat more.
But even his father is not a real master in this world. Faced with those terrifying monsters, he can survive more by luck.
Whenever he thought of this, Pan Long felt uneasy. His father would rather take risks than hide the injured things, which greatly increased his anxiety.
A few days ago, he could still hold back and not let himself show his worry. But today, the day when the demon hunting team was scheduled to return, he finally couldn't help it anymore. He rushed to the city tower just after noon, looking at the north frequently, looking forward to seeing his father return safely.
"Dad! It doesn't matter if the performance is successful or not, and it doesn't matter if the demon hunting fails. You must come back safely!"
When the sun was almost setting on the horizon, a large area of black dots finally appeared far away in the north.
This made everyone who had been following the others excited, and Pan Long couldn't help but shout: "They are back! The demon hunting has succeeded!"
Everyone smiled and understood his loss of composure - he was so nervous today. Not to mention a person, even a bow that had been shattered for so long, it would be unbearable.
Some people even exclaimed in their hearts: "Mr. Pan is said to be a martial arts fanatic and is not close to his family. It seems that they are all rumors. He is obviously very filial!"
In fact, this is not just a rumor. When Pan Long first traveled through time, he was indeed worried about it. He was not close to his family for several years. But his parents did not like him because of his cold personality. On the contrary, they kept trying to make him happy. After his mother returned to her hometown to practice her unique mental method, her father spent all her thoughts on taking care of and teaching him. He never stingy with him, regardless of time, energy, material wealth.
Although his hard work is due to his own hard work, his father's teaching and training are also indispensable.
Over the years, Pan Long has seen his care and care for him by his father and other relatives. Who can be ruthless without plants? He has long fully recognized his identity in this life, his father, and his relatives in this world.
As the demon hunting team got closer and closer, he saw his father from afar. He couldn't wait for the city gate to open, so he jumped down from the city tower and headed towards the demon hunting team.
A moment later, he met his father Pan Lei in a big cart.
Their usual majestic appearance, even if they sit still, they make people feel as nervous as if there was a beast in front of them, "Iron Palm Pan Zhuangwu" now has a pale face and can't even ride a horse. He can only sit in a car with several animal skins underneath, which looks like a mess.
But when he saw his son coming, he showed a happy smile from the bottom of his heart.
"Dad, are you okay?"
"It's okay, I fought a head-on battle with an iron-backed bear. That old thing is probably almost becoming a sperm. I suffered a little loss to kill it." Pan Lei said with a smile and relaxedly, "Here, look at its teeth, how long!"
As he said that, he lifted up a piece of animal skin beside him, revealing the huge bear head below.
It was an extremely ferocious giant bear. Just a head was almost as big as an ordinary person’s body, and the fangs in his mouth were longer than the daggers used by ordinary hunters. For such a big guy, an ordinary hunter would probably have no chance of rescue if he was rubbed against his claws. Only a master like Pan Lei had the ability to beat it to death and turn it into his own spoils.
