Chapter 234: Illusion, Phantom, Charm
After all, this is the border between two countries. If he roasts the meat of a fourth-grade monster so openly, who knows what kind of trouble it will cause. He is not afraid of it, but it will be bad if it brings any trouble to this small village.

Zhou Chen now has a big appetite, so he directly roasted half a venison. Half an hour later, the aroma of the meat drifted into the village with the wind. Then Zhou Chen saw a few children standing in the distance, secretly looking at him.

Among them was Hu Zi, who had bullied Xiao Qing before. Looking at their expressions, Zhou Chen knew that they were greedy, so he smiled and waved to them.

Unlike the villagers, these children were not very averse to him. Except for Hu Zi and a few others, the rest of the children all ran over when they saw Zhou Chen waving.

The venison was almost cooked by now. Zhou Chen took out a small knife and cut the cooked meat for them. Although there was no seasoning, it was simply delicious for these children who had rarely eaten meat.

After all the children got a piece of meat, Hu Zi and his friends in the distance were drooling. Zhou Chen looked up at them and said with a smile, "Why don't you want to eat?" Zhou Chen naturally wouldn't argue with these children. Seeing that they hadn't come over, he took the initiative to invite them.

After all, they were children. As soon as the greed in their stomachs was aroused, they immediately ran over with a smile. After they got the meat, Zhou Chen touched the heads of Hu Zi and the others with a smile and said, "Little friends, you can't eat your brother's meat for free."

Hearing what Zhou Chen said, all the children were stunned. Seeing their expressions, Zhou Chen smiled and said, "Eat, eat. I won't charge you any money. But I want you to promise your brother that you will never bully Xiaoqing again, okay?"
When Hu Zi heard that what Zhou Chen was talking about was this, he was the first to say, "Big brother, don't worry, I won't bully Xiao Qing anymore."

With Hu Zi taking the lead, other children also said one after another, "Don't worry, brother. If anyone dares to bully Xiao Qing again, I will be the first to say no." Zhou Chen smiled and rubbed their heads, then gave each of them a piece of meat again.

Seeing them eating happily, Zhou Chen casually asked, "By the way, kids, is there a person named Li Xiuhua in your village?"

After hearing what he said, the children were all stunned and asked, "Big brother, what do you want to do with him?"
"My brother has something to ask him."

Hu Zi said, "Brother, don't you know?"
"what do you know"?
"Xiaoqing's mother is Li Xiuhua."

"Yes, brother," the children said.

After eating and drinking, many children returned to the village. Zhou Chen smiled and said, "I've been looking for him for a long time. It turns out to be him. What a coincidence."

Seeing that it was getting late, Zhou Chen did not go to Xiaoqing's house immediately, but sat under a big tree outside the village to rest.

At night, the village became extremely quiet. The villagers turned off the lights and went to bed early. Only one house had a dim light on. They were sitting at the table eating a pot of venison.

"Eat it quickly, and then hide the remaining venison in the cellar."

"Okay, I get it. Is it okay for you to do this, wife?"
"Don't worry, it's no problem. He's a stranger and he doesn't have any acquaintances here. Whatever we say is what's going to happen. Even if he is right, he has nowhere to speak."

At the same time, Zhou Chen discovered that there was an eighth-grade monster not far outside the village, quietly approaching this side. Zhou Chen narrowed his eyes and considered whether he should take action, because he found that the village chief was also aware of his presence.

Ten minutes later, the village chief had gathered six ninth-grade warriors and came to the outside of the village. Zhou Chen was sitting on a tree at this time. With the cover of darkness, the village chief and his men could not detect Zhou Chen's existence at all.

Zhou Chen discovered that the village chief had a jade pendant on his waist. He had seen this jade pendant before. It was the one that the village chief took out and waved in front of him today.

At this time, the jade pendant was emitting a faint red light. "So that's how it is. This jade pendant can actually detect the evil spirit around it."

At this time, the seven people had already seen the monster in the distance. It was a tiger monster. Even at such a far distance, they could sense the powerful monster aura.

The village chief was surprised that it was an eighth-grade monster, and then he said to the people behind him, "Go, have all the villagers hide in the cellar, and have all the warriors close to the ninth grade come out." After giving the instructions, one person left the team and rushed towards the village, while the village chief and his men kept a close eye on the monster in the distance.

At this time, the tiger demon also discovered the village chief and six others in the distance. Realizing that he had been discovered, he was no longer timid. The demonic energy in his body immediately emanated from him and he rushed towards the six people.

"Be prepared for him to come, and don't let him break into the village." In an instant, six people drew their swords from their waists and, led by the village chief, faced the tiger monster.

When a warrior of the lower three ranks faces a monster of the same level, the monster generally has an absolute upper hand, because their physique is stronger than that of humans. Unless they reach a higher level, this gap will gradually weaken.

Several of them were ninth-rank warriors. Even though they had the advantage in numbers, they were no match for the tiger monster. After fighting for just three minutes, all six of them were injured. After smelling the blood, the tiger monster became even more excited.

"Lead him away and don't let him enter the village," then he stood up and walked away.

He was the strongest, and his meat was the most tempting to the tiger demon. Four villagers with ninth-grade strength came forward to help and help the village chief share the pressure, but one person did not come forward and ran towards the village instead.

Seeing this, Zhou Chen sneered, "Hmph, it seems that you guys are not very united." They were no match for the tiger monster at all. The tiger monster was also a little angry at this time and opened his mouth to roar.

An invisible air wave spread out, affecting the village chief and others. They covered their ears in pain. Zhou Chen's eyes turned cold and a sword energy shot out, piercing his chest directly.

The village chief and his companions were shocked when they saw this scene. They were about to look towards Zhou Chen when their magical power of phantom charm was activated. This move was an illusion magical power. The moment the magical power was released, an invisible force spread out.

The village chief and several others were shrouded in an invisible force. When they turned around and looked towards Zhou Chen, they saw nothing.

Zhou Chen changed their previous memories with a thought. Originally, they were the ones who killed the monster, but Zhou Chen changed their memory to say that it was the village chief who killed it.

Phantom Charm can create illusions. If it is used against an opponent whose strength is far inferior to its own, it can change the opponent's memory within ten minutes.

Several people were just slightly stunned, and then stepped forward to check the tiger monster's body. "Village chief, you are so powerful that you can kill an eighth-grade monster. It seems that you are about to break through to the eighth grade."

The village chief was also confused. As far as he could remember, he and his companions were about to be killed by the tiger monster. At the critical moment, he tried his best to stab the monster with his knife, but he did not expect that he pierced the monster's chest directly, and then the tiger monster died.

At this time, all the warriors in the village chased out, "Village chief, we are here, where is the monster?"
"Where is it?"

"What, an eighth-grade demon beast died just like that?"
"The village chief killed him."

"What, the village chief is so mighty."

Everyone carried the monster's corpse back to the village, saying, "This is a great tonic." The guy who had escaped before also ran back.

No one paid attention to him before because the situation was urgent, but now that the crisis has been resolved, the warriors following the village chief will naturally not let him go easily.
