Tian Dazhuang dawdled around for a while, pretending to be unwell and resting for a while, watching the shadow under his feet eager to run, he didn't dare to delay any longer, and walked to Xia's house.

Before he reached the gate of Xia's house, he saw Young Master Xia and his friend walking out together from a distance, as if something was going on.

He hurriedly stepped forward to stop the two of them, Young Master Xia's friend ignored him, Young Master Xia had a very warm smile on his face, Tian Da Zhuang held his breath, he said that he was sick and wanted to ask for leave, his expression seemed to be cramp, His eyes kept squinting towards the soles of his feet, forcibly tangling his honest and simple face into a ball.

Young Master Xia, who was sober on weekdays, didn't seem to see his strange expression, and didn't even look at the shadow he was desperately hinting at. He still responded with a smile, telling him to just go to rest and not think about anything else.

Tian Dazhuang held his breath in his throat, but saw that the shadow had already rushed to Xia Chen's feet while the two were standing close to each other. Such a strange situation inevitably makes people think too much.

His face was covered with sweat and his pale face was really miserable. Xia Chen seemed to be unable to bear it, and said pitifully, "Your illness seems to be a little serious. I just have a panacea in this book. I will bring it to you. You can go back and take it." Just once."

Xia Chen's magic book has been seen by many people in the village, and Tian Dazhuang has also seen it. Everyone knows that he can conjure all kinds of magical plants from the book. Someone said in the place where he was working just now. I don't know that Master Xia How many gods are stored in the book, it must be the treasure book of the fairy family.

When he heard that Xia Chen wanted to use the book, Tian Dazhuang was both excited and terrified. Master Xia is really kind, but he is not really sick. Don't let that shadow snatch this precious thing.

And the shadow under his feet also swayed slightly, as if he was a little excited.

Before he could refuse, Xia Chen had already uttered a spell vaguely, and summoned the magic book extremely quickly.When the pages of the book were flipped, an exquisite card jumped out. Both the book and the card were shrouded in a layer of shimmer, which looked like a very precious treasure.

Tian Dazhuang was stunned for a moment. He had never been so close to read this precious book. He opened his mouth and watched the card turn into a beam of light and fall on the ground, instantly growing into a flower with a big head. , emitting a strong light.

He seemed to hear a sharp cry, like the scream of a person being scalded, subconsciously lowered his head to find it, but saw that the place where the shadow was illuminated by the light, like a lump of sugar heated in a pot, melted all of a sudden .

Tian Dazhuang was taken aback, and he didn't care to hide it. He stared at the twisted shadow that wanted to escape. He had already observed it on the way here. This shadow can only move through shadows. For example, when he stands with people, Only when the shadows of two people touch each other can the shadow reach the other person's feet.

At this time, the shadow was twisting and struggling under Xia Chen's feet under the heat of the flower's light, but Xia Chen took two steps back calmly, avoiding the shadows of Wen Shu and Tian Dazhuang, and the shadows had nowhere to run.

He stood still at the same place, the light of the sunflower falling on his feet covered the ground around him, Xia Chen's own shadow was only a small piece at his feet, and there was nowhere to hide the foreign shadow.

Hearing a scream, the shadow under Xia Chen's feet suddenly climbed up the air, forming a human figure. Before the figure could really take shape, Wen Shu, who had never moved or spoken beside him, drew his sleeve knife out of its sheath and slammed He stabbed at the dark figure.

Xia Chen only had time to say, "Keep alive!"

With a snap of his fingers, Wen Shu stabbed him several times, and the figure that had faded from his black and gray body screamed and fell to the ground with a few blood holes on his legs and arms, as if he looked so miserable that he couldn't even stand up.

Xia Chen yelled, and several members of the guards jumped out of the room next to him, and quickly tied up the person lying on the ground with a rope.

Tian Dazhuang's mouth has not been closed since he opened it, and he watched blankly as the shadow turned into a human being, and then was poked into a blood gourd by Wen Shu several times, and now he is reduced to a prisoner.

With his overworked brain, he vaguely sensed that Young Master Xia should have been prepared long ago. This shadow is a self-inflicted trap, but he can't figure out the reason. Could it be that Young Master Xia could have predicted it.

Xia Chen naturally wouldn't predict it, it's just that Niang Xuan went to report the letter first, this shadow should be a strange person with special abilities, just like the invisible man he met in Zhongning Mansion back then, it has extremely hidden abilities, used to It would be better to sneak in to spy on news or even assassinate.

It was his bad luck that he happened to run into Niang Xuan, whose supernatural powers never rely on eyes, but on seemingly empty spiritual power, specially designed to restrain them.

When Xuanniang met Tian Dazhuang, she clearly saw only one person, but in her perception, there were two people there.

The little girl also traveled thousands of miles with Xia Chen all the way back, she was extremely vigilant, and immediately realized that something was wrong, as soon as Tian Dazhuang left, she turned around and ran to find Xia Chen without saying a word.

Dahe Village is surrounded by mountains on three sides, and Xia Chen has built two layers of protection at the only entrance that can come in. The city wall and the creepers that have not been planted are the third layer, and it is impossible for anyone to sneak in.

But Xuanniang would not lie to him, Tian Dazhuang must be different, Xia Chen decided to take the initiative to attack, so he brought Wen Zhu with a super high personal force value, and went out together to find someone.

When he bumped into Tian Dazhuang, the man winked and hinted that Xia Chen would pay attention, and there was nothing he couldn't figure out.

Although the ability of shadows is rare, he doesn't understand whether it is controlled remotely by humans or transformed into shadows by aliens. To him, it is just a matter of a sunflower. Is there any shadow that the sun can't handle?

It's just that he didn't expect the evolved sun flower to be so powerful, and directly burned the shadow alien. He couldn't stand the burn, so he naturally changed back, and was caught by Wen Shu.

Xia Chen patted Tian Dazhuang's shoulder, and said with a smile, "I'll credit you this time, you go back first, and treat today's incident as if it didn't happen, and I'll give you credit for everything when the dust settles, do you understand?"

Shadow's lurking behavior is not like an individual's action. He is extremely targeted, and there is likely to be a group behind him.Now I don't know if they still have such a different person. The purpose of not letting Tian Dazhuang stand out is to protect him.

Tian Dazhuang's ability to detect the abnormality, and acted out a scene calmly, and bravely brought out the shadow, already showed that this seemingly simple and honest man is a person with a lot of brains, and immediately nodded hurriedly, promising that he would not say anything.

Xia Chen nodded and told him to go back first. Since he was sick, he had to get sicker and go home to rest. Then he privately asked the guards to go around Tian's house more.

As for the shadow, after being brought back, after seeing Sun Heihu and others' brutal kicking and intimidation methods, Xia Chen was so entangled that he prepared to torture himself.

Before he could do anything, Wen Shu, who knew the reason for his distress, chuckled twice and called Zhe Liu.With a handsome appearance like a young man, Zheliu, who always has a weak sense of presence, came out of the cell within two quarters of an hour. Xia Chen probed his head and took a look. Just had a terrible ordeal.

Zhe Liu told him the news about digging him out of the shadow one by one without pausing, and Xia Chen's expression became more dignified the more he listened.

According to what the shadow said, there was indeed a team behind him as Xia Chen guessed, and it was a very huge team, with 800 people, which was almost equal to the total population of Qinghe Village.

And among the 800 people, less than [-] of them were actually combat members, and the rest were their slaves.They were not official slaves who committed serious crimes or private slaves who sold themselves before the Da'an Dynasty, but plundered good people and even wealthy officials and rich families as slaves.

The leader of this group was originally a small colonel in the garrison of the state capital next door to them. The day when the corpse was unearthed, there was a great chaos in the army.

This school official surnamed Luo was rebellious, not only was he not worried about this situation, but he was overjoyed, saying that the current situation makes a hero, and this is his chance to stand out.

Colonel Luo is usually very good at pretending to be a good person. He has a group of brothers who have been recruited under his command. They take this opportunity to gather together to save their lives and gather other soldiers who are scattered and fleeing.

Gathering more than 100 people in this way is regarded as pulling up the team, and then in the local state capital, collecting food and recruiting subordinates.They originally had food in the resident, which was enough for a period of time, and then collected most of the food in Fucheng and stored it in the resident.

There were many of them and they were all trained soldiers, and ordinary people couldn't rob them. As a result, all the food in the city was looted, including the homes of the surviving people.

It is said that bandits are like combing soldiers like sifting, and the people in Fucheng have come to a dead end. Either there are strangers in the family, and they can drag their families to join them and be their subordinates, or there are children in the family who are beautiful and good-looking. To be able to exchange some food for a short respite.

In the peaceful and prosperous age, the garrison here guarded the peace of the people. When the end came, this group of people actually tore off the human skin and turned into a man-eating beast in an instant. shudder.

Of course, it's not that there are no Zhongliang in the defenders, but they either died in the turmoil, or Dao Bu was wiped out by Colonel Luo's assassination, rape, or threats and lures.

The remaining people in Fucheng either starved to death or were taken away as slaves. Beautiful women, men and even young children were reduced to playthings, and the entire Fucheng was reduced to hell.

This group of devils are at ease in the capital city of their state capital. They shouldn't have come to Xia Chen and the others, but their methods are too evil. A woman who was robbed and ruined by them suddenly awakened her supernatural powers and killed them. Unable to burn their food and grass.

They used to look down on women, so they took them lightly and didn't take them seriously. They didn't expect to suffer a big loss from women.

The food and grass were gone, and the woman who set the fire knew that she had no escape, and that if she fell into their hands, her life would be worse than death, so she simply killed herself with a knife, and the group of villains whipped her to death, and it was hard to get rid of their anger.

What's more, the food was gone, they had nothing to eat, they had looted the prefectural city, and sifted through the surrounding area, and slaughtered a dozen or so villages, so it would be useless to stay here again.

This group of villains simply moved to camp. Xia Chen and his prefecture were unlucky and were selected in the three neighboring state capitals, so this group of villains migrated here.
