1188 Night Ancient City
Mayor Hu's face became increasingly ugly, "Next, disappearances became a nightmare in Songshan Town. People are missing every day, and people are disappearing every day. I have been investigating, but I can't find out who the missing persons are. The reason. The police in the town also disappeared, and no one listened to my orders. Later, I could only organize the remaining townspeople to guard this place. Although I don’t know whether it is true or not, there is an old rumor in the town, It is said that there is a monster living in the Stone Dragon Cave at the back. This monster will come out to eat people every thousand years, and will not return to the cave until it has eaten 999 people."
"There is still such a statement? Do you believe it?"
Li Fan looked at Mayor Hu in front of him. As people in the organization, they should all be atheists. And looking at his current appearance, it is really difficult for Li Fan to associate him with a mayor. I guess he is also the number one mayor who lives such a fearful and frustrated life.
"No matter what, let's just believe it for now..."
Mayor Hu showed a helpless expression, "I heard that the monster has amblyopia and will be invisible as long as he wears black clothes. In the past, when Songshan Town was still being developed for tourism, the Stone Dragon Grottoes was also a tourist attraction. The tour guide showed When tourists enter, they are also asked to put on black clothes. The townspeople repeatedly suggested to me, so we all put on these black robes. The remaining more than a hundred townspeople also sealed off the town. I hope to turn this only place into a fortress to prevent monsters from entering."
"Why don't you leave Songshan Town?"
Li Fan asked, "As long as we leave here, won't the problem be solved?"
“For many people here, Songshan is home.”
Mayor Hu explained, "Especially me, how should I explain to the organization? There are monsters here, so do we have to move the townspeople with us? Comrade agents, I am suffering too! This mayor is too difficult to be!"
"Didn't we send a squad of scouts here before? How are they doing?"
"These scout soldiers came here once. Then they didn't listen to our advice and went directly to the Stone Dragon Cave. After that, they never came back."
"They were all probably eaten by monsters."
Dragon Girl muttered, "You always have to eat when you wake up."
"This, what does this person mean..."
Mayor Hu was so frightened that he asked questions quickly.
"It's okay, just ignore her."
Li Fan gently patted Long Nu, indicating that she would not be allowed to speak nonsense.
"Are you sure that the monster is hiding in the Stone Dragon Cave?"
"It should be... Some townspeople have seen monsters nearby before... I heard that it is a two-headed monster, very scary..."
"The monsters at both ends... do you have any impression?"
Li Fan asked Long Nu.
"Oh? Do you know to ask me now?"
The dragon girl turned her head proudly, "I don't want to tell you."
"Six boxes of potato chips."
"In our time, there was a two-headed wolf demon that was ferocious in nature."
"so."
Li Fan continued to look at Mayor Hu, "Let's go to the Stone Dragon Cave and have a look. When the investigation is over, I will tell you the results."
"Oh my god, you two, don't go to Stone Dragon Cave, it's too dangerous there!"
Mayor Hu hurriedly stopped him, "You two are just here to conduct an investigation. Are there other troops coming later? If you want to go to Stone Dragon Cave, you must at least have tanks and artillery!"
"The terrain of Songshan Town is such that tanks and artillery can't get in."
Li Fan reminded Mayor Hu, "Don't be afraid. We are both professionals. Let us handle the problems here."
"It seems you are determined to go."
Mayor Hu sighed, "Well, let's do it. It's getting late today, so you can leave tomorrow. Rest here for the night. There's still some food in the town. Among other things, the Beggar Chicken in Songshan Town It’s a must-have, try it tonight.”
"Then let's leave tomorrow!"
When the dragon girl said this, her mouth started to water. Li Fan thought to himself, this girl is so disappointing! Just by begging for a chicken, you can bribe her!
Mayor Hu took a closer look at Long Nu and found that Li Fan seemed to want to listen to this little girl's opinion.
Could this humble little girl be some important person
"Well, let me arrange a place for you two comrades to take a rest first."
Mayor Hu arranged for people to pack up a small house and arrange it for Li Fan and Long Nu.
The house was a bit dark, and no one had lived in it for an unknown period of time. There was no life in the house at all. This house must be lived in. No matter how old a house is, as long as someone lives in it, it is popular. And once no one lives there all year round, you will feel a chill as soon as you enter.
This house is like this, it has an eerie feeling that makes people very uncomfortable.
"I like this ancient town, but I don't like this house."
The dragon girl sighed, "It's too humid."
"Is it just damp?"
"Yes, we dragons like to enjoy it!"
Dragon Girl emphasized, "It's best to sleep on a bed made of gold. It's the most comfortable that way."
"It's so comfortable, gold is soft! Those are all gold-plated, okay?"
"Oh, it's just comfortable anyway."
The dragon girl stretched her body and said, "No more talking. I'm going to bed first. Call me when you eat chicken in the evening."
After saying that, the dragon girl lay down in the clean hanging basket next to her, curled up into a ball, and fell asleep.
Li Fan shrugged his shoulders. He also sat on the mat on the side and began to meditate and adjust his breath. The vitality gathered at the Dantian in his body and slowly rotated. Li Fan's strength still needs more training. His strength is just beginning and is not stable. The mat was slightly damp, but Li Fan used his vitality to dry it and it felt much better.
While adjusting his breath, Li Fan seemed to be able to feel everything around him. The range of his vitality perception has also increased a lot. As long as he concentrates, the movement of every plant and tree around him cannot escape Li Fan's perception.
It was getting late and the surroundings were quiet except for the chirping of cicadas and the chirping of birds. This primitive feeling of returning to nature made Li Fan feel relaxed, and his energy grew much faster.
There are no shortcuts to practicing martial arts. Reaching the sky in one step is just a dream. Practicing step by step is the best way to practice martial arts.
The vitality in Li Fan's body increased steadily, and the chirping of cicadas around him gradually stopped, replaced by the concerto of frogs croaking. It was originally a pleasant natural sound, but it had a discordant note.
Li Fan opened his eyes and glanced in the direction of the balcony. He slowly stood up and stood in front of the window, looking at the ancient city under the moon.
The remaining residents seem to go to bed early at night, or rather don't like lighting up. It was only after six o'clock, and the ancient city was already dark, exuding a certain depressing feeling under the moonlight.
