Chapter 951: No Return
After seeing Nan Mingzhu participate in this operation, she sowhat understood that the reason Gu Dongxing was nad for this action was probably due to so trickery by Nan Mingzhu.
However, she was a bit interested in that Dragon Ancestor’s operation leader this ti, Feng Dongcheng.
Although she suspected that the initial orders to harm her fiancé ca from the Dragon Team, it was obvious that Feng Dongcheng was unaware.
He just heard that Gu Dongxing’s Ancient Martial Arts technique was taught by Cheng Jiuhe, and imdiately agreed to have Cheng Jiuhe replace Gu Dongxing, without considering how Nan Mingzhu would feel.
However, one thing could be confird: today’s mission didn’t seem to be designed to target Gu Dongxing.
But since Gu Dongxing and Nan ngyu were already here, they didn’t plan to return; instead, they wanted to follow and see what would happen. After all, there were still ten days until their engagent ceremony.
The group finally arrived at a certain mountain village in the southwest.
Seeing the action team ahead enter the village, Nan ngyu was about to quietly follow on the cloud when Gu Dongxing stopped her: "Let’s not go down yet; we’ll watch from the air."
So Nan ngyu didn’t descend. Instead, she and Gu Dongxing stood on the Five Elents Fan, hovering in midair, extending their Divine Sense to explore the village.
This village was situated at the foot of a large mountain, with mountains behind, a vast paddy field in front, and another mountain in the distance, with a small river nearby, making it a picturesque small village.
The village had about sixty households, classifying it as a dium-sized village. Most of the houses here had walls made of blue bricks in the front and mud bricks in the back, with the occasional thatched house, usually toilets. It was clear that the village wasn’t poor.
But wasn’t it said that almost everyone in the village had fled? Why were there still so many people in the village?
It was dinner ti, and every household had cooking smoke rising from the rooftops. From ti to ti, the voices of n and won returning ho, the coughing of the elderly, and the cries or laughter of children could be heard from the village.
When strangers entered the village, soone quickly ca out to inquire, and after reporting inside, a man in his forties ca out to greet them.
"Hello, I am the village chief of Shanbei Village, my surna is Wei. May I ask who you are—"
"Hello, Village Chief Wei, we are comrades sent from above to investigate that strange case in your village."
"Oh, I see, welco. Please co to the village headquarters."
Village Chief Wei welcod the group to the headquarters, pouring tea for each of them: "You haven’t eaten yet, have you?"
Nan Mingzhu imdiately said, "Isn’t it obvious? We’ve been climbing the mountain road for over five hours—"
Captain Feng interrupted her: "We had dry food on the way, no need to trouble yourself."
Nan Mingzhu muttered, "So stubborn, causing trouble for oneself."
Village Chief Wei showed a kind smile on his face: "How can dry food suffice? I’ll have soone cook right away. I caught two wild chickens today; I’ll ask my wife to kill and cook them for everyone."
Captain Feng quickly replied, "There’s no need to trouble yourself. Let’s discuss the strange case in your village first."
Seeing Captain Feng insist on not eating, even leaving the tea poured untouched on the Table of Eight Immortals, Village Chief Wei paused and said, "Alright!"
And so, Village Chief Wei began to explain.
Just as Gu Dongxing had told Nan ngyu on the way, the village first discovered bloodless dead ducks, no matter how well they were secured, they would die of blood loss at night. Within just three days, hundreds of chickens and ducks in the village were all dead.
After the chickens and ducks died out, it was the turn of the cows, sheep, and pigs. Just like the chickens and ducks, they seed fine during the night checks, but by the next morning, the pigs and cows were dead, and likewise, not a drop of blood!
