Chapter 17 The Leopard Demon in Zhangjia Village
"Forget it, let's not talk about him. Let's talk about you first."
Mr. Zhang took the initiative to bring this topic to light, and then changed the subject and brought up "business" with Li Guhong.
"It doesn't matter if you are here. Just a few days ago, that beast went down the mountain again. This time it not only killed all the cattle and pigs of Zhang Daniu's family in the village,"
"It also seriously injured Zhang Daniu. If I and a few men from the village hadn't rushed over in time, Zhang Daniu's people might be gone now."
Mr. Zhang said with some fear that he had never experienced the situation at that time. He only saw Zhang Daniu being slapped away by the monster's claw from a distance. This leopard monster was more difficult to deal with than he imagined.
.
"It's a pity that it escaped in the end."
Speaking of this, Mr. Zhang also shook his head with regret.
A group of people in the village were not able to save a single beast. Obviously, he was very dissatisfied with the result and even felt a little embarrassed.
"It's okay, old man, don't worry, I will definitely be able to help you deal with this leopard monster this time."
Li Guhong patted his chest and assured Mr. Zhang that relying on his system mall as a trump card, Li Guhong could absolutely guarantee that he would eat this leopard monster to death. If he couldn't solve it, he might as well find a piece of tofu to kill himself.
Forget it.
"Let's talk about it, let's talk about it, you can tie the horse to the tree first."
Mr. Zhang waved his hand, and then pointed to Li Guhong the rather thick tree next to him.
Li Guhong also did as Master Zhang said and tied his horse to a tree nearby.
"First come and sit at home for a while. I will call a few other people in the village later and we will discuss it together."
Mr. Zhang led Li Guhong into the house, told his wife to greet Li Guhong, and then went out by himself, as if to summon people from the village to come over for a meeting or something.
When Li Guhong entered the village, he observed some of the buildings in Zhangjia Village. After entering the house, he looked around at the indoor environment. Not to mention, although it was in a small mountain village, the houses in Zhangjia Village were basically
They are all made of blue and red bricks.
It cannot be said that the cost is high, but at least it is not cheap. This village sounds like a small village, but in fact there are quite a lot of people and it looks very wealthy.
Mr. Zhang's small building has a total of three floors. The decoration pattern of the house is very good, the walls are neat, and the decorations are quite exquisite. The furniture is obviously made of relatively precious wood, and there are several jade ornaments placed on the coffee table.
This can barely be regarded as a different-world version of a country villa, but it is also true that the old man in this picture and his family are all warriors. Obviously, there is no shortage of ordinary money and the like.
Most of the houses in Zhangjia Village have similar shapes. I think the villagers in Zhangjia Village must have a lot of warriors. It can be said to be a typical warrior clan village.
While Li Guhong was chatting with Mr. Zhang's wife about family matters, he explained his home address and other information, but hid the matter about his father and the Tianjian Division. At the same time, he was waiting for Mr. Zhang's return at home.
.
After a while, Mr. Zhang led five people back home. Among the five people, one was a young man. He looked very rough and full of energy.
society.
There were also two middle-aged men, who looked very honest. Their farmer-like clothes matched their skin that had been tanned by the sun. There were even some wrinkles on their palms that were caused by frequent exertion.
If Li Guhong hadn't felt that they were full of energy and blood than the young man who was an average person in society, Li Guhong almost thought they were just two ordinary villagers.
The remaining two are old men who are similar to Mr. Zhang. Not only are the three of them similar in cultivation, but they are also very similar in appearance. It seems that they are all cousins of the same clan.
As soon as the group of people entered the door, Li Guhong stood up and walked towards them. Mr. Zhang pointed to Li Guhong in front of him and introduced to the people behind him,
"This is my boy's friend in the city. He specially invited him to help the village kill that beast."
Li Guhong nodded to everyone with a smile and said,
"Hello fellow villagers, my name is Li Guhong. I am a friend of Xiaoshun's that I have known for a long time. I was invited to come here to help him."
Li Guhong said it without blushing and his heart did not beat. He said the words "long time" and "invited" very spiritually.
Seeing Li Guhong finish speaking, Mr. Zhang continued,
"Except for me and Zhang Daniu, who was injured by the leopard demon, there are only a few warriors in the village now. The other warriors have gone out for some reasons."
Mr. Zhang briefly told Li Guhong that there was a shortage of manpower in the village, and then introduced everyone to Li Guhong.
"The young man in the middle is called Zhang Gou'er, the one on the left is called Zhang Fu, the one on the right is called Zhang Qing, and the two old men at the back can be called Mr. Zhang Er and Mr. Zhang San."
Li Guhong greeted each of them. Li Guhong noticed their respective cultivation levels as soon as they entered the door. Zhang Gou'er, Zhang Erye, and Zhang Sanye were all warriors in the early stages of body refining.
And Zhang Fu and Zhang Qing are in the middle stage of body refining, but these people can't kill that leopard monster? Isn't that leopard monster in the late stage of body refining or even higher?
Li Guhong had doubts in his mind. Logically speaking, it is impossible. Even in the late stage of body refining, it should be enough to deal with the leopard demon. No, this leopard demon does not look simple. He thought while saying hello to everyone.
, this thing is a bit strange.
Seeing everyone greeting each other for a while, Mr. Zhang touched an old man next to him.
"Come on, Third Brother, you have seen that beast here with the most words. Please explain it to Gu Hongwazi."
Mr. Zhang pondered for a while, as if he was trying to organize his words. Li Guhong was not in a hurry, looking at him and waiting for him to speak. The more he knew about this leopard demon, the better it would be for him.
"That black leopard demon is not simple. It looks like it is in the late stage of body refining, but in fact it should be close to the threshold of the Qi Nourishing Realm. It is estimated that it is not far away from that step. We basically haven't interacted with him.
I've tried it before, but I can only make an estimate based on my feeling."
Mr. Zhang paused, looked at the people around him, and then continued,
"This beast seems to be young. It may be because of its cultivation and growth that its demand for flesh and blood has increased greatly. There must be no big animals in the nearby mountains that it can eat, otherwise it would definitely not take the risk.
He risked his life by going down the mountain to steal some food."
Li Guhong nodded. He was indeed a little surprised by the leopard demon's state, but after thinking about it, he was relieved. He was already in the late stage of body refining. It must be normal for him to enter the Qi nourishing stage. But saying that, this leopard demon seems to be quite powerful.
Yes? You are in the late stage of physical training at a young age.
As expected, Mr. Zhang continued to explain to him.
"If Shunwazi hadn't called this little brother over, I actually planned to go to the city to report it. Otherwise, with the current manpower in the village, I really wouldn't be able to do anything about it."
The demon pill is actually not as useful to them as the leopard's flesh, blood and bones. These are difficult to buy even with money, especially the leopard's heart. Unexpectedly, Li Guhong didn't even think about the demon pill.
Yes, only those worthless things.
Li Guhong waved his hands to everyone and said very grandly,
"I, Li Guhong, am here to help Zhang Xiaoshun. This is out of 'brotherhood'. I have never come across any natural treasures in my life, and I don't care about the flesh and blood of this leopard monster. My happiest time was back then.
The days of wandering outside with Xiao Shun."
"So after I heard Xiao Shun say that he had something going on at home, I promised him to help deal with this monster."
To be honest, except for the demon elixir, Li Guhong didn't know the value of anything else about this leopard demon. He just knew that it was somewhat valuable.
He himself does not have a clear concept of these. The things of ordinary body-refining monsters are of little use to him, and he has been lacking them since he was a child. Otherwise, he would not be able to talk so easily like Teacher Ma from the Celestial Dynasty.
.
The reason why Li Guhong dared to say so conclusively was because the demon elixir in the body refining period was not worth many yuan in the mall, let alone the value of the flesh and blood in the body refining period.
He thought that he might as well use this to make a favor and form a good relationship with Zhangjiacun, which would be convenient for investigating cases in the future. What he didn't know was that he would not truly realize what this leopard monster had given him until the incident was over.
Improvement. Far from comparable to those previous monsters.
Everyone in Zhangjia Village looked at each other. They had not expected the situation before them. Finally, Mr. Zhang solemnly said to Li Guhong,
"Then I would like to thank little brother Gu Hong on behalf of the villagers. We in Zhangjia Village will remember this favor."
Zhang Gou'er, who grew up next to him and looked quite social, also spoke up at this time.
"Brother Gu Hong, you are so awesome!"
Zhang Gouer gave Li Guhong a thumbs up. He admired Li Guhong's heroic (13) behavior very much.
Seeing this, Li Guhong also exchanged business boasts with him, complimenting each other. However, Zhang Gouer seemed to have remembered something and spoke to Li Guhong again,
"By the way, you have just come to us and are not familiar with our terrain yet. Do you want to take you around here to familiarize yourself with the environment?"
Li Guhong thought about it and realized that Zhang Gouer was telling the truth. He had just arrived and had never been around the village before, so he was not very familiar with the situation in the village.
"Okay, then Zhang Gouer, you are responsible for taking him there. We will come back later to discuss the specific plan to defend the village."
Mr. Zhang listened to Zhang Gou'er's suggestion and asked him to take Li Guhong out.
"Brother Gu Hong, our Uncle Zhang's family belongs to the head part of the village. The village is scattered all over the place, so it's not easy to finish it all at once. Let's start here now."
Standing at the door of Mr. Zhang's house, Zhang Gou'er began to tell Li Guhong about the general situation in the village.
Li Guhong also knew the general environment of this old man's house, so he didn't say anything more and raised his hand to Zhang Gou'er.
Chapter completed!
