Chapter 116 Asking for help
The wooden man is different from the giant tiger. The wooden man can attack independently at the thought of Zhou Chen and does not need Zhou Chen's constant control. The moment the giant appeared, he bent down and grabbed the giant rat.

He didn't kill the giant rat but just held it. The giant rat was held by the wooden man with both hands. Without waiting for the monsters to react, Zhou Chen directly raised the Demon-Slaying Sword and killed them. The five-meter-long sword directly chopped at several rat monsters that were close to him. Looking at the huge blade in front of him.

The monsters were shocked and quickly gathered together. A huge demonic energy condensed in front of them, forming a huge shield. Zhou Chen's slash with a knife was blocked.

"Damn, he's actually a sixth-rank master. Luckily, we brothers can fight against a sixth-rank master together." Then the monsters roared and a huge amount of demonic energy burst out, directly knocking Zhou Chen flying backwards.

Before hitting the wall, Zhou Chen's figure stopped in mid-air. A sneer hung on the corner of Zhou Chen's mouth, and he pointed the Demon-Suppressing Sword in his hand at the monsters.

A huge magic circle appeared behind him, which was as big as three Zhouchen. Then the monsters sensed a breath of death.

“Not good, brothers, don’t hold back, kill it with all your strength.” At this time, the giant rat in the wooden man’s hand disappeared, and a huge black gas floated towards the monsters, and then a huge rat head condensed above the monsters’ heads.

The rat head roared and bit towards Zhou Chen. The huge rat head looked quite intimidating. The moment it came into contact with the long sword, it was pierced through by the long sword. The long sword continued to pierce towards the monsters with undiminished power. The monsters had no chance to react before the long sword had arrived.

Several rat demons in the middle died on the spot, and the remaining dozen or so rat demons were injured by the scattered sword energy, spitting blood and crawling on the ground.

"Run quickly, you strong one." Now the monsters were already seriously injured. Seeing that they were about to escape, Zhou Chen quickly picked up his knife and chased after them. At the same time, the extreme cold zone was activated. In an instant, a chill swept through the monsters. At the same time, snowflakes floated in the sky.

It's spring now and it shouldn't snow, but the monsters don't care about that and just want to escape from here as soon as possible.

Zhou Chen directly condensed the Fengyun Sword, and with one slash of the sword, several rat demons died on the spot. In just a few minutes, he killed ten rat demons.

Seeing that he could not escape, a rat demon flipped his hand and took out a bead. Then he spat out a mouthful of blood on it. In an instant, the surrounding mirrors changed, and the remaining rat demons suddenly disappeared from Zhou Chen's sight.

Only the bead was left floating quietly in the air, an "illusion".

Zhou Chen directly controlled the Fengyun Sword to chop towards the bead. The moment it hit the pillar, a rebound force hit him, and Zhou Chen took five or six steps back before he stopped.

Looking at the bead in front of him, Zhou Chen couldn't help but feel curious, "What is this thing? It's defense is so high."

Zhou Chen once again used his magical power, the Gale Sword, and in an instant a huge sword flew out from the magic circle behind Zhou Chen and pierced the monster plant.

The demon plant that was extremely hard just now was directly shattered by the Gale Sword. In an instant, the surrounding mirror images changed again. Zhou Chen then found that he was still in the original place. The houses of the surrounding people were not destroyed by him and were still the same as before.

"Did I enter the rat demon's environment from the very beginning?"
Confused, Zhou Chen returned to Mr. Li's house again. Miss Li had woken up at this time. Leng Ningshuang saw Zhou Chen coming back and asked quickly, "What happened?"
Zhou Chen then told Leng Ningshuang what had happened, then sighed that it was a pity that a few rat monsters had escaped.

"Don't blame yourself for dealing with so many rat demons by yourself. It's good enough that you can kill most of them." Then Zhou Chen remembered something, "Why is there no one in the Li Mansion?" Leng Ningshuang was also confused. Yes, the previous Mr. Li was a rat demon in disguise, so where is the real Mr. Li? Then Zhou Chen asked Leng Ningshuang to keep an eye on Miss Li, and he went out to check.

Zhou Chen searched all the rooms in Li's mansion and found that there was not a single living person. Returning to the room, Zhou Chen told Leng Ningshuang about this.

Leng Ningshuang naturally stopped paying attention and turned to look at Miss Li. Although Miss Li was awake at this time, she did not seem to have regained her consciousness and looked silly.

Zhou Chen stepped forward and asked, "Miss Li, does anyone know if there is a secret room or something like that in this mansion where people can be hidden?"
Miss Li looked at Zhou Chen with lifeless eyes. Seeing his look, Zhou Chen shook his head helplessly and said, "Let's hand him over to the county magistrate first. Ningshuang, you go back to the Demon Suppression Division tomorrow morning and report what happened here to the Demon Suppression Division."

Leng Ningshuang nodded in agreement, and the two of them stayed at the Li Mansion to guard Miss Li for one night. The next day, Zhou Chen took Miss Li to the Fenghua County Government Office, while Leng Ningshuang returned to the Demon Suppression Division.

The county magistrate was also shocked when he learned about what happened in the Li Mansion. He sent people to turn the mansion upside down that same day. The result was just as Zhou Chen said, there was really no one there, not even a dog. The entire Li Mansion seemed to have disappeared overnight, with only Miss Li left and an empty yard.

After Leng Ningshuang reported the matter to the Demon Suppression Division, the Division attached great importance to it and immediately sent three teams to check it out. However, what puzzled them was that when they arrived at Fenghua County according to the map, a shocking scene appeared, because the entire Fenghua County had disappeared.

The place that was supposed to be Fenghua County is now a forest. At first, everyone thought it was an illusion. When they walked into the forest, they realized that this was not an illusion at all, but a real forest, and they also searched around.

All the other counties on the map are there, even the small villages near Fenghua County exist, but Fenghua County is gone, as if it had evaporated from the face of the earth.

At this time, Zhou Chen in Fenghua County didn't know all this. He was now waiting for support from the Demon Suppression Division. Zhou Chen calculated the time and logically, the support from the Demon Suppression Division should have arrived by now, but three days have passed and the support from the Demon Suppression Division has not arrived yet.

Could it be that the Demon Suppression Division has too many things to do now and has no time to take care of things here? If it were in the past, he would definitely think so, but now he is a member of the Demon Suppression Division, and the people in the Demon Suppression Division are not that busy, so it is impossible that he does not have time.

County Magistrate Lord Xu came to Zhou Chen's room at this time. Zhou Chen asked him to sit down and asked, "How is Miss Li's condition now?"
Lord Xu shook his head and said, "Well, I have asked all the doctors in the city to see her, and they are all helpless against Miss Li's condition. But now there is something I want to discuss with you."

"Oh, please tell me what's the matter, sir."

"Just today I received a strange news. Recently, some people reported to the police that they encountered strange things."

Zhou Chen asked doubtfully, "What's so strange? Did you encounter some evil spirit?"
"In recent days, a large amount of fog suddenly appeared outside the city. This fog has lasted for several days. Some people went out of the city to do business, but the strange thing is that no matter which direction the people went, they would eventually return to the city."

Zhou Chen was shocked after hearing this, “What? How long has this been going on? When did the fog appear?”
Lord Xu thought for a while and said, "The fog should have appeared three days ago. It seems that we can't get out since the fog appeared. No matter which way we go, we will end up back in the city."
