Chapter 29 Dryad
It turned out that after killing Leng Feng, the few people fled the village that day for fear of being caught. Their parents had died early and they had no relatives or friends, so they just left.

"So where are they now?"
"If nothing unexpected happens, they should be hiding in the bandits' lair in Qinghua Mountain."

After saying that, the old man left with the food and silver. Leng Yiyao urged, "Brother Chen, report to the police and arrest them."

"There's no need for me to go there myself. If they really did it, I would personally arrest them and take them to the county government office. The most urgent task now is to confirm whether they are really in Tsinghua Mountain." After giving a few brief instructions, Zhou Chen rushed towards Tsinghua Mountain.

An hour and a half later, Zhou Chen finally arrived at Zhengyi Village on Qinghua Mountain. All the bandits in Zhengyi Village had been captured, and now only an empty shell remained here.

Although the gate of the village was closed, Zhou Chen easily climbed over the wall. There was nothing special about the village. There were only dozens of scattered rooms.

It is not easy to find a few people in such a big place. If they are hiding in that corner, Zhou Chen may not be able to find them.

At this time, several people in the Justice Hall were sitting beside a big table and eating meat with big mouthfuls. "Such a big Justice Village is so cheap for us brothers."

Just as they were chatting, a black shadow appeared above their heads, "Stop eating, someone broke in, go and capture him. As long as I absorb his blood, I will be able to break the seal, and then you will be rich and powerful."

"Didn't you say that we need another hundred blood foods, Master?"
"This guy is different, he is a warrior at the peak of the ninth rank, and his blood intake is lower than that of a hundred ordinary people. Go ahead", and then six black airs were seen entering their bodies.

The six people suddenly felt an inexhaustible power coming from their bodies.

Zhou Chen was looking around outside when suddenly there were sounds of breaking through the air. Heiyuan immediately came out of his body and swung his sword quickly, all the arrows shot at him were blocked.

"Hmph, you react pretty quickly."

Zhou Chen looked and found that the strength of the six people had reached 100, "They are actually six ninth-grade warriors."

The six people rushed towards Zhou Chen with a sinister grin. Zhou Chen sneered and said, "Hmph, so what if you are ninth rank?"

Zhou Chen was seen wielding the Black Abyss Knife and slashing out with such force that even two ninth-grade warriors could not resist it. The two men were cut in half along with the knife.

The other four were not afraid but happy to see this and rushed towards him even more excitedly, "These guys seem abnormal." They thought so in their minds but were ruthless with their hands. After killing three people in seconds again, they were chopped on the back by one of them.

However, he had the iron shirt to protect him, so even if he was hit by a sword from a ninth-grade warrior, it would not matter. Zhou Chen suddenly turned around and hit the opponent's face with the back of the sword.

Then he kicked out, and the man spit out blood. At the same time, Zhou Chen saw a black gas flying out of his mouth. The moment the black gas flew out, Zhou Chen discovered that his strength had dropped directly to 6 points.

"How is this going".

Zhou Chen quickly stepped forward, grabbed the man's neck and lifted him up. The man's face turned ashen and he kept stabbing himself with needles.

"Who are you and why do you want to kill me?"
"Please spare our lives, sir. We are just ordinary villagers. I don't know why we attacked you."

After hearing this, Zhou Chen sneered, "Humph, you're pretending to be stupid even when you're about to die."

Then he increased the strength in his hands, thought for a moment and asked, "Do you know Leng Feng?"
"I know him, he's from our village."

"Oh, so it was you six who killed him."

"What? He's dead. No, it's impossible that we didn't kill him. We just robbed his food and then what."

Zhou Chen was curious, "What happened next?"
"I do not remember".

At this moment, his face quickly turned black, and he died in just two seconds. Zhou Chen threw him to the ground. At this moment, a burst of cold laughter came from all directions. Zhou Chen looked around and found that bursts of black air were floating around, and then gathered together to form a black shadow.

"Hmph, a bunch of useless things, six against one and they can't even gain any advantage."

"Who are you".

"Haha, it doesn't matter who I am. What matters is that you are about to become my nourishment."

Zhou Chen frowned slightly and said, "Hmph, playing tricks." Then Hei Yuan swung out, and a wind blade directly dispersed the black shadow.

"Haha, I didn't expect you to have some skills, but this is far from enough."

Zhou Chen looked around and could only hear sounds but couldn't see anything. He immediately felt like giving up.

At the same time, his body slowly retreated towards the entrance of the village.

"Haha, now that the young man is here, I can't leave." As soon as Zhou Chen finished speaking, he felt a slight vibration from the ground beneath his feet. Zhou Chen quickly exerted force with his feet and jumped back.

The moment his feet left the ground, several vines broke out of the ground and wrapped around Zhou Chen's legs. The speed was so fast that Zhou Chen had no chance to react. Zhou Chen, who was still in mid-air, was directly entangled by the vines on his feet. Then several more vines broke out of the ground and wrapped around his body.

Zhou Chen was shocked when he saw this and swung the Black Abyss to chop at the vines. The seemingly ordinary vines did not even have any scratches after being hit by the Black Abyss.

Although the attack of the vines could be blocked, there was no way to continue like this. Zhou Chen shouted lightly and wind blades condensed above the black abyss.

Then the vines that were as hard as steel just now were instantly chopped into several pieces, and even the vines on the feet were cut off with one knife.

Just as he was about to take a breath after landing, suddenly hundreds of bamboo vines sprang out from the ground. "Hmph, let me see how many you can cut." Then the vines swept towards Zhou Chen like a vast expanse.

Although Heiyuan's power has been greatly increased by his magical powers, he is still unable to withstand the vines that cover the sky and the earth. What's more, after they are cut off, they will grow again in an endless stream.

Soon Zhou Chen was also submerged in the sea of ​​wood. Feeling the huge force coming from his body, Zhou Chen roared and activated his magical power to control the wind. A strong wind blew around his body, and all the vines within three meters in front of him were crushed to pieces.

Zhou Chen didn't waste any time and immediately flew towards the outside of the village.

"Huh, you want to run away without even asking me if I agree or not? I saw the trees around the village growing rapidly, and the branches and roots were intertwined. In just a few breaths, an airtight net was formed in the air, wrapping everything in the village."

At this time, Zhou Chen, who was standing in mid-air, shot out a wind blade. This time, the wind blade, which was always effective, didn't leave any trace when it hit it.

At this time, the strange laughter sounded again, and this time the sound came from the direction below. Looking down, I saw a big tree under my feet growing at a speed visible to the naked eye. In just a few breaths, the tree had grown to thirty meters high.

The tree was extremely strange. It was completely black and had lush branches, but there was not a single leaf. At this time, a crack appeared on the tree trunk, like a human mouth, and it opened and spoke, "Boy, I see you have good talent. How about this, as long as you become my slave, I can spare your life."

Staying in the air for a long time took a heavy toll on Zhou Chen, and he slowly floated down from the air and landed on the ground.

"It's okay to be a slave, but I have a request."

"Just tell me what you want and I'll do my best to satisfy you."

"After all, this is not a trivial matter. Please let me go home and discuss it with my family."
