The Elders' Council was a little too lively today, and all the elders were present, sitting in the conference room solemnly.

Zhou Yan stood outside the door, looked at each of them through the glass door, and finally met Zhou Che who was in the middle.

Zhou Che looked away, lowered his head and took a sip of tea.

He didn't express any extra expressions, Zhou Yan understood what he meant - be polite.

Shit polite.

Zhou Xi lowered his eyes and knocked on the door twice.

The voices in the meeting room stopped abruptly, and Zhou Che smiled and said, "Please come in!"

Zhou Xi pushed the door open and entered, only to see Kui Niu sitting on the other side, leaning on the back of the chair, sleeping soundly with his baby face up.

The faces of several elders are very exciting.

After all, they were the ones who let Zhou Xie rest before, and now they have repeatedly invited people back to help.

No matter how thick-skinned you are, you should still feel a little uncomfortable.

Zhou Che smiled and motioned Zhou Yan to sit down opposite him, and served tea again. Seeing that Zhou Yan's face became ugly because of his impatience, he said, "Kui Niu said that he was hunted down in Lutai Mountain this morning. saved him?"

Zhou Yan took a look and saw that Kui Niu was still asleep and even snoring a little.

Sometimes I don't know whether he is timid or big-hearted.

Zhou Yan withdrew his gaze: "I'm not that capable, it's because of his fate."

"So, there was indeed a hunt," Elder Zheng who was next to Zhou Che answered, "Kui Niu also said that you think the one who chased him was the murderer of the bear demon? What evidence is there?"

Zhou Xi raised his eyebrows, as if he heard some funny question. When he raised his hand, the cloth covering his left arm fell off naturally, revealing a wound that still looked hideous although the bleeding had stopped: "Is it enough?"

The faces of the elders changed drastically.

Zhou Xi has the blood of the dragon clan flowing through his body, with strong self-healing ability and amazing combat power.When he started to fight, none of the elders present were his opponents, but the monster who didn't even show his face caused him to suffer such serious injuries.

Zhou Che's expression also became serious, he got up and came to Zhou Xi's side, raised his arm and looked at it: "Did you apply the spirit grass?"

Zhou Ling didn't answer, but withdrew his arm, and bandaged the wound haphazardly.

"Healing has slowed down, but the bleeding can stop, so it's not a big problem." Zhou Che patted him on the shoulder, "Be careful in the future, repeated injuries will make your mother worry."

Zhou Xi raised his head, met his eyes, turned his head and didn't answer.

"Mr. Long, that wound..." The eyes of the elders were all on Zhou Che's face.

Zhou Che sat back to his original position and sighed, "It's the same as the claw marks on the demon bear's body."

"...Such a big monster suddenly appeared to attack everywhere, and the methods were so brutal," the elders looked at each other. "If the news spreads, it will definitely cause panic."

Elder Jia said: "First came the Xiong Yao, followed by the Kui Niu. I can't see anything in common between the two. What is the pattern of that guy's target?"

"The last time the bear demon was killed was at Lutai Mountain, and today Kui Niu was killed at Lutai Mountain. Could it be that the murderer has been hiding in Lutai Mountain, and both the bear demon and Kui Niu ran into him because of bad luck?" Elder Yi guess.

Elder B retorted: "But the whole area of ​​Lutai Mountain was searched last time, if that guy didn't leave, we shouldn't be unaware!"

Zhou Xi was too lazy to listen to these stupid and meaningless arguments, so he got up and left.

"Little miserly," Zhou Che called to stop him, "What do you think?"

All eyes in the conference room turned. Zhou Xi stopped and pointed at Kui Niu impatiently: "You never thought of another possibility. The target was him from the very beginning, and the bear demon is just a scapegoat."

The elders were all taken aback, Zhou Che was silent for a moment, and unconsciously tapped the table with his fingertips: "On the day the bear demon was killed, Kui Niu was indeed in Lutai Mountain."

"If this possibility is true, then the murderer will most likely look for another opportunity to attack Kui Niu." Elder Zheng thought for a while, turned his head to look at Kui Niu, and lowered his voice, "It's better to use Kui Niu as bait and say indefinite……"

"Elder Zheng," Zhou Che shook his head, "Kui Niu came to ask for help, and everything is to ensure his safety."

"Then leave him in the Council of Elders," Elder A suggested, "No matter how cruel that monster is, it won't rush into the Council of Elders to attack."

"Although the Council of Elders is safe, it is also full of people. Once the news that Kui Niu is hiding here to avoid hunting and killing is spread, it will cause great panic among the demon clan." Elder Zheng retorted.

"Then where else can we send him?" Elder Jia said, "It's easy to find another place, who will be sent to guard it? The bear demon has spiritual power for hundreds of years, so he ended up like that in the end. Don't fail to protect Kui." Cow, I gave away a few lives for nothing."

Zhou Che was silent for a while, and suggested: "I have several private houses in Yunzhou, I can let Kui Niu choose a place to settle down, and I will work with you to set up some barriers. As for the guards...Xiao Xi?"

At some point, Zhou Yan stood next to Kui Niu, put one hand on the back of the chair, lowered his eyes and stared at the sleeping Kui Niu, not knowing what to think.

The elders immediately understood what Zhou Che meant.

The entire Council of Elders, even if you count the branches in various places, there are not many people who can match the combat power of last week.

If he was the guard, it would be better to pick someone from the Council of Elders.

Zhou Xi raised his head, caught a circle of eyes in his eyes, and slapped Kui Niu heavily with his hand back.

"No matter," he withdrew his hand and patted it lightly, "I have other things to do."

After saying that, he left without looking back.

Kui Niu was awakened by that slap, and looked around in a panic: "What's wrong! What's wrong!"

"It's nothing, go back to sleep." Zhou Che smiled at him, and looked back at the elders who were not very good-looking but couldn't get angry because of his presence, "Xiao Xie has such a temper, everyone forgive me."

"That Kui Niu..."

Zhou Che lowered his eyes, and after thinking for a while, he nodded to the fox demon assistant in the corner: "Find a place to settle down first... I'll talk to Xiao Xie again."

-

Zhou Xi went directly to Mount Lutai.

It is rare that there is no heavy rain, and there is no need to fight. The wind is sunny, the trees are shady, and the scenery is pleasant.

In a trance, there is a little resemblance to the forbidden area. If you can never go back in the future, stay here...

Just as this thought arose, it was suppressed again.

Walking through the luxuriant woods until he reached the place where Kui Niu was looking for Tangli in the morning, Zhou Ying stopped and squatted down to touch the soil on the ground.It also rained on Lutai Mountain the night before, because the rain was so intense and heavy that the ground has not dried out yet. Walking over it will leave deep and shallow footprints.

But after the fierce fight in the morning, all that could be found on the ground were traces of Zhou Xi.

At that time, you have to devote your monster power and energy to such details. I don't know whether the monster is too afraid of being exposed or has other concerns——

For example, he is actually not an unknown monster, it can even be said that everyone knows it, so he is so careful that he is afraid of revealing his identity due to the slightest detail.

Previously, Zhou Yan had been thinking whether the monster had been staying in Lutai Mountain all along, and Kui Niu came looking for Tangli and just ran into him, or he had been tracking Kui Niu all along.But although Kui Niu looks stupid, he cherishes his life. Even though he has [-]% of his spiritual power sealed away, he can escape from Zhou Xi's hands again and again. After recovering his spiritual power, he is tracked without noticing it?

Until just now, he smelled something from Kui Niu that he had never smelled before.

The smell is very faint, and it is easy to think it is the evil spirit of Kui Niu if you don't carefully identify it. Ordinary people can't detect it at all. The monster who wanted to kill him found a trace.

After Kui Niu came out of the forbidden area, he didn't come into contact with many monsters, and he could quietly use this tracking technique on him...

"Sorry, I didn't know anyone was here!"

Zhou Xi straightened up and turned around to see a thin old man with a crooked figure, messy hair and dirty body standing under a big tree not far away.

Zhou Yan's cold face was really frightening. The old man didn't dare to take a step forward, and stood there carefully looking at Zhou Yan.

Zhou Yan narrowed his eyes and took a step forward: "You..."

"No! We don't know each other! You got it wrong!"

After the old man finished speaking, he turned around and ran with an agility that didn't fit the image at the moment. After a few steps, his left foot tripped and his right foot hit the ground firmly.

"I haven't said who you are yet," Zhou Xi approached, grabbed the man by his collar and picked him up from the ground, gritted his teeth and called his name, "Zhou! Qi!"

He threw the man back to the ground without hesitation. The moment he landed, the crooked old man turned into a young man—still with messy hair and mud on his face. He was not angry when he was thrown to the ground with a smile Got up, scratched his face: "It's my brother after all, I can still recognize it even after I've changed."

He raised his gaze slightly, not only was not afraid of last week's almost cannibalistic gaze, but also raised his hand and gestured twice above his head, his face full of joy: "I didn't realize before that the little miser's figure is so much taller than me."

After speaking, he opened his arms, wanting to step forward and hug Zhou Yan.

"It's almost done," Zhou Yan pushed him away, "I don't know you that well."

Zhou Qi fell back to the ground again, and simply sat there looking up at Zhou Xi: "I always thought that your bad temper was due to being locked up in that crappy place in the forbidden area for a long time, why are you still like this when you come out?"

He tilted his head and glanced at the place where Tangli had stayed before, and raised his eyebrows knowingly: "I said how Tangli left the barrier I set up. It turned out to be a trap. Father, he just let you be so relieved." Catch me yourself?"

The author has something to say: Long Gui: Oh brother, long time no see!

Zhou Ling: Get lost.
