Chapter 238 Gifting a treasure
That night, Lei Changxing and his companion found a place to spend the night in the wilderness. Sitting by the fire, Lei Changxing cursed, "You useless thing, I should have slapped you to death at the beginning, so that you would not cause trouble for me everywhere, otherwise this would not have happened."

"Brother, how would I know this would happen? If I had known earlier, I would not have provoked him."

Just then a man came in the darkness, and the two of them also discovered his presence.

“Who’s where?”
"I'm from the neighboring village. I went out for something during the day and got lost when I came back at night. I'm so cold. Can you let me come over and warm myself by the fire?"
Seeing that it was a person, the two of them immediately let down their guard and said, "Okay, then let him come over and sit down."

After the man came over, the two of them felt that the air around them seemed to have dropped a few degrees, and they couldn't help but move closer to the fire.

The man seemed to be very cold. He was shivering while sitting by the fire, and white mist came out of his mouth when he breathed.

“Are you that cold bro?”
"There's nothing I can do. I was just hit by someone using the icy energy. Now that the cold energy has entered my body, it's really freezing."

Lei Changxing was surprised "What is Ice Qi?"
Instead of answering his question, the man said, "I'm a little hungry. Can you give me something to eat?"
Lei Changxing took out a piece of dry food from his arms and handed it to the man. The man looked at the dry food but did not take it with his hands. Instead, he looked at Lei Changxing and said, "I'm not a vegetarian. I don't know if there is any meat?"
"You still want to eat meat? Without us, there will be no meat."

At this time, the man looked at the two of them with a greedy expression on his face, "Of course, you are the best meat, haha." As he spoke, his body began to change. As his body grew larger, the clothes on his body were directly torn apart, and he turned into a giant wolf.

"When they saw this, the two screamed and immediately ran away."

The people hiding in the dark were also shocked when they saw this. They didn't care about the tasks assigned by the village chief and immediately ran back to Xinghua Village.

Lei Changxing's younger brother had no cultivation at all, and was the first to be swallowed by the wolf demon. The wolf demon licked his lips as if it was not satisfied, and turned around and pounced on Lei Changxing again.

The wolf demon's strength had reached the sixth rank, so it was easy for it to chase a ninth rank warrior. It caught up with him within three seconds, and swallowed him up in one bite without waiting for him to draw his sword. The wolf demon raised one of its front paws and touched its belly, "Just a little bit more."

Then he looked at the four people in the distance. Although they didn't look back, they could clearly feel a pair of eyes staring at them. The three of them immediately kicked their buttocks and their speed increased again. They only wished that their parents had given them two more legs.

Just as he was about to chase the four people, he suddenly had the same feeling. A powerful force was watching him. This force was chilling. "It's him, he's here again." Then the wolf demon turned around and ran, not caring about the meat.

Just as he was desperately trying to escape, a crack in the void suddenly appeared in front of him. Before he could react, he went straight into it, and then the crack closed immediately.

At this time, in mid-air, Zhou Chen stood on the void and looked at everything below with a smile on his face. He had captured that sixth-grade monster from five thousand miles away. The purpose of capturing him was naturally to cover up the lie he had told before.

Now the wolf demon has been trapped in a different space. Zhou Chen does not plan to kill him for the time being, but plans to kill him in front of Shen Lian in a few days.

After they returned, they went straight to the village chief's house. At this time, the village chief was practicing with his eyes closed. He opened his eyes immediately when he heard the sound of the door being pushed open. He was about to get angry, but when he saw that it was four people, he immediately put away the anger on his face, as if he had guessed something.

The village chief asked, "What happened?"
The four of them hurriedly recounted what had happened. Although it was a bit confusing, they still roughly understood what had happened: "There really was a powerful monster targeting the two of them."

At this moment, he was glad that he went to Zhou Chen to ask for help as soon as he learned about the situation, instead of protecting the two and becoming enemies with Zhou Chen. In fact, he was also gambling before. After all, a ninth-grade warrior was still relatively important to Xinghua Village, which was why he did not kill the two and throw them out of the village. Then he asked a few people to arrange for all the warriors in the village to be on guard and ready to respond to danger at any time. He went to the next room. Zhou Chen was now invited to his home.

Firstly, Zhou Chen had no place to live, and it was inconvenient for him to live in Li Xiuhua's house. Secondly, if any emergency occurred, he could ask her for help as soon as possible.

The village chief just knocked on the door gently, and Zhou Chen's voice came from inside, "I already know, village chief, don't worry, the monster didn't follow us." After hearing Zhou Chen's voice, the village chief felt relieved and did not disturb Zhou Chen any further.

However, after the village chief returned, he was unable to enter into meditation and practice. Finally, he walked out of the room and came to the roof. The village chief stood on the roof and looked out into the distance at the outside of the village. However, as Zhou Chen said, there was nothing unusual outside the village.

No one knew who leaked the news, but the next morning, the story of Lei Changxing and the other man spread throughout the village. The villagers were shocked after hearing it. The villagers who were originally a little suspicious of Zhou Chen now believed in him very much and believed that he was a god who had descended to earth.

Everyone who met Zhou Chen on the road bowed respectfully, and Zhou Chen nodded and smiled and left quickly. After arriving at Xiaoqing's house, Zhou Chen found that there were many more things in Xiaoqing's yard.

After Zhou Chen asked, he found out that these things were sent by the villagers early this morning, and they contained food, vegetables, furniture and other things.

Li Xiuhua was reluctant to accept it at first, but the villagers just put down their things and left, not giving her a chance to refuse.

Zhou Chen played with Xiao Qing for a while and then found Li Xiuhua to try to tell her about the space escape. When Li Xiuhua heard that Zhou Chen wanted his pendant, she hesitated for a while and then took it off and gave it to Zhou Chen.

"You're giving it to me now?"
Li Xiuhua nodded, and Zhou Chen asked doubtfully, "Isn't this a gift from your husband? Are you really willing to give it to you?"
Li Xiuhua said, "Since you came, the villagers' attitude towards us mother and daughter has become much better, and the children in the village no longer bully Xiaoqing. We have nothing to thank you for, except this thing. I believe my husband will agree to it."

This woman is too naive. The reason why the villagers acted like this is entirely because of her. In their hearts, they regarded her as a god and wanted to get Zhou Chen's protection. Li Xiuhua's family was close to Zhou Chen, so they tried to curry favor with them.

Zhou Chen could sense that there were villagers in the distance looking at him. After thinking about it, Zhou Chen stretched out his right hand, and a seven-story small tower appeared in his hand.

The small tower exuded a faint golden light, "I won't take your things for nothing, so I'll give you this small tower as a gift."

Even though Li Xiuhua was blind, she could still see that the tower was extraordinary. The villagers far away were even more shocked when they saw it, thinking, "Look, the immortals have bestowed treasures."

Of course, there was no way Li Xiuhua would accept this thing, but Zhou Chen gave a reason why he had to accept it.

"I will leave sooner or later, and when I leave, no one will be able to protect you. The place where you are is rampant with demons. How can you, a weak woman, protect Xiaoqing?"
Li Xiuhua said, "With the village chief here, he will protect the villagers."

Zhou Chen shook his head and said, "Your village chief is only a warrior at the peak of the ninth rank, and the ninth rank is the lowest among warriors."
