"Oh, it stinks!"
Xiao Meng covered her nose and retreated. Light Dust also covered her nose with her sleeve.
Chen Qiang looked into the room and saw that the two plates of meat dishes on the table had already rotted. There were more than a dozen flies flying around on them. Four pairs of bowls and chopsticks were neatly placed, and the rice that was served had not been touched.
"Brother, it seems like this family was about to eat when something happened," Light Dust said softly as she followed Chen Qiang to the table.
"Okay." Chen Qiang nodded. His eyes fell on the ground in front of him and he touched it with his hand.
"What's wrong?" Light Dust asked in confusion.
"Nothing, Light Dust, let's go out and take a look." Chen Qiang turned and left the room.
In the corner of the courtyard, Chen Qiang walked to a shack and picked up a handful of dog fur.
There was no doubt that this shack was where the dog that went missing with the family lived.
"Huang Hua."
Chen Qiang waved his hand towards the outside of the courtyard. When Huang Hua came closer, he asked, "When the incident happened, did the neighbors nearby hear any sounds or screams?"
Huang Hua replied with a sad expression, "Taoist priest, if there were any sounds or screams, we wouldn't be so nervous. All the missing people and animals didn't make any noise when the incident happened."
Chen Qiang didn't say anything after hearing that. He touched the dog kennel for a while and finally stood up and sighed.
"Taoist priest, did you find anything?" Huang Hua asked.
Chen Qiang didn't answer but asked instead, "Huang Hua, point out the approximate location of the villagers that had the incident."
"Taoist priest, the families in our village that had the incident happened in all directions. They weren't connected together."
As he spoke, Huang Hua casually pointed at a few places.
"I understand." Chen Qiang sighed again and said to Light Dust and Xiao Meng, "If I'm wrong, the missing villagers should have been killed."
"Who did it?" Huang Hua and the other villagers hurriedly asked.
"It's not a man, it's a beast!" It was rare for Chen Qiang to be so serious. "Wait outside the yard. I will help you find the culprits who killed the villagers."
When Huang Hua and the other villagers heard this, they immediately left the courtyard nervously and hid dozens of meters away.
"Brother, did you discover something?" Light Dust asked again after the villagers had left.
"Yes, Light Dust. You should know that I have a skill called Digging Holes. Therefore, I am very familiar with the places dug by beasts that are good at digging holes.
When I was in the room just now, I already felt that the ground there was a bit soft, and the ground in the kennel just now was also soft.
So, I'm sure that the family and the dog were dragged underground by beasts that are good at digging!
Light Dust, you and Xiao Meng will use your Psychic Power to investigate the underground. If you find anything, find it as soon as possible! "
After Chen Qiang finished speaking, Light Dust and Xiao Meng nodded and activated their Psychic Power at the same time.
Although the level of their Psychic Power was not as high as Chen Qiang's, it was not a problem for them to cover the entire village and a few hundred meters underground.
Soon, Light Dust and Xiao Meng found something strange.
The two of them looked at each other. Xiao Meng gritted her teeth and said, "Sister Light Dust, I'll leave those skeletons to you. I'll go catch those monsters!"
Light Dust nodded and activated the power of the small world. A small tornado was formed and a pile of white bones was pulled out from the ground in front of them!
Chen Qiang took a look. From the bones, he could see that there were at least a few dozen human skeletons!
Some of the bones were even chewed into pieces!
When the villagers in the distance saw this, they were about to come over. However, they saw Xiao Meng suddenly dive into the ground as if she was diving!
It was only at this moment that the ordinary villagers realized that the little girl who looked harmless was actually a powerful cultivator!
In the blink of an eye, Xiao Meng rushed out of the ground and threw a monster that was about the same size as her into the courtyard.
It was a monster that looked like a crab. Its entire body was covered with a layer of black carapace. Its two claws were like pincers. Even though it was already dead, its pincers were still opening and closing.
When Chen Qiang saw this, he quickly went forward and picked up the monster with his hands.
However, soon, Chen Qiang's eyes flashed with shock. He hurriedly stopped Xiao Meng who was about to rush into the ground again. At the same time, he transmitted his voice to her, "Xiao Meng, keep all those monsters in your small world. But don't kill them!"
Xiao Meng asked in confusion, "Why, Half-Immortal Master? These hateful monsters are so cruel. Why are you still keeping them? "
Chen Qiang did not explain. Instead, he said solemnly, "Do as I say!"
Xiao Meng was helpless. She could only agree and sneak into the ground again.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Chen Qiang once again put his hand on those white bones.
[Ding! Successfully absorbed a primordial spirit!]
…
After absorbing all the bones, Chen Qiang finally figured out the tragedy that had happened in the village!
He did not know where these monsters came from. For more than a month, they had been constantly attacking the living creatures in the village.
At first, it was just some ordinary animals that were dragged underground to be eaten. Later on, even the villagers fell victim to their vicious attacks!
However, other than that, Chen Qiang did not find any other abnormalities.
Simply put, this was just an ordinary case of monsters attacking the village.
However, what made Chen Qiang feel inconceivable was that the primordial spirits of the people and animals killed by the monsters were successfully absorbed by Chen Qiang. However, the monsters that were killed by Xiao Meng were like leader Zhao. Their primordial spirits could not be found at all!
It was because of this reason that Chen Qiang asked Xiao Meng to capture the remaining monsters alive!
After another half an hour or so, Xiao Meng came out of the ground with a sullen face. She pouted and said with dissatisfaction, "Half-immortal master, according to your request, I have put all those damn monsters into the small world. Within a radius of five hundred miles, there are no more such monsters. "
Chen Qiang nodded and waved at Huang Hua and the others in the distance.
The villagers slowly walked into the courtyard and looked at the mountain of white bones in the courtyard in horror, as well as the body of the strange monster. Their faces were extremely pale, and some of them were so scared that their bodies trembled.
Chen Qiang changed his smiling expression and solemnly waved his hand. "It was this kind of monster that killed the villagers and animals. However, you can rest assured that the Poor Way has killed all the monsters that harmed you. This kind of thing will never happen again."
"Thank you for your help, Taoist priest. We misunderstood you before." Huang Hua thanked him sincerely.
The other villagers and the people who had doubts about Chen Qiang before looked at Chen Qiang and the other two with respect.
However, Chen Qiang had something on his mind, so he did not stay for long. He hurriedly left with Light Dust and Xiao Meng and returned to the temple.
