Chapter 44 Black Bear Blocks the Road
"You're lucky." Then he controlled the vines to let him go. Zhou Chen didn't want too many people to know his secret, so he tried to keep it secret as much as possible.

Soon Zhao Kuo and his men appeared in front of Zhou Chen. Zhou Chen kicked Li Long in the back. Li Long ran forward a few steps and fell in front of Zhao Kuo.

"Take him away." He then came to Zhou Chen and asked, "Brother Zhou, are you okay?"
"It's okay, we only caught this guy. I accidentally killed Li Ba just now."

After hearing Zhou Chen's words, Zhao Kuo did not blame him for being cruel. After all, it was dangerous for one person to fight against two masters. As long as the person was fine, Zhao Kuo would not blame Zhou Chen even if he killed both of them. Then the two of them returned to the county government office.

After Zhao Kuo's interrogation, Li Long confessed everything. The baby case in Qinghua County was thus settled.

That day, Zhou Chen took Leng Yiyao to have dinner in the inn. A man walked over and sat down.

Zhou Chen looked around and said, "Brother, there are many empty seats around here, please go to another seat."

"I guess you are brother Zhou Chen?"
"Oh, it seems you came here specifically to see me"?
"I am Wang Feng from the Wang family."

It turned out to be someone from the Wang family. "I don't know why Brother Wang is looking for me. I don't seem to be familiar with the Wang family."

"To be honest, the head of my Wang family really admires talents like you, Brother Zhou, so I would like to invite Brother Zhou to come to my house for a chat."

"Sorry, I have something else to do, so I'll take my leave now." After saying that, he put down the silver and left the inn with Leng Yiyao. Not only the Wang family, but also the Wuji Boxing Gym sent people to find him yesterday, all wanting to win over Zhou Chen, but Zhou Chen was not interested in either of them.

The next day after returning to the county government, he said goodbye and left and returned to the small mountain village.

The two hired a carriage and arrived at the village in about twenty minutes. As soon as they entered the village, the carriage stopped. The coachman turned to Zhou Chen and the other person in the carriage and asked, "Are you sure this is the place?"
Zhou Chen walked out puzzled. Before he opened his mouth, he knew why the driver said that. He saw that the village was in a mess and the villagers' houses were collapsed.

"What's going on?" He looked around and saw that although the surroundings were a bit dilapidated, it was undoubtedly their village.

Zhou Chen paid for the taxi and took Leng Yiyao to walk home. Leng Yiyao was shocked when she saw this scene.

After returning home, they found that their home was the most severely damaged. The courtyard wall and the house had basically collapsed. Zhou Chen said with cold eyes, "If I know who did it, I will not let him off."

Suddenly Zhou Chen heard a voice behind him. He flashed and came directly in front of the person behind him. The person was startled to see Zhou Chen suddenly appear in front of him.

"Brother Chenchen, you are finally back."

Zhou Chen knew this person, he was their neighbor Hu Zi. "What's going on with Hu Zi?"
"Brother Chen, a few days ago a talking black bear appeared in the village. It demolished any house it saw and killed any person it saw. Many people in the village suffered at its hands. Until it came to your house, the black bear searched around and found the entrance to your cellar."

"Then what"?
Then you heard the black bear crying in the cellar, saying something like you died tragically and that your father would definitely avenge you. Then the black bear came to your house every day.

Zhou Chen was shocked when he heard Hu Zi's words. The talking monsters were at least of the seventh rank. It seemed that the two ninth rank black bears he had killed before were his descendants.

“Were all the villagers killed?”
"No, only a few people were injured by the black bear, and most people fled to their relatives' homes for refuge."

Zhou Chen took out a few taels of silver from his pocket and handed them to Hu Zi, "Hu Zi, take the silver and go out and hide for a few days and try not to come back."

Hu Zi wanted to say something, but Zhou Chen took Leng Yiyao and walked out of the village. Are you kidding? That was a seventh-grade monster. Even though his current strength was enough to fight against a seventh-grade master, it was just a helpless move. If possible, he would not take the initiative to provoke them.

Now Zhou Chen has more than 1,000 taels of silver, enough to buy a house in Qinghua County. Although ordinary people may not be eligible to buy a house in the county even if they have money, it is not a problem for Zhou Chen to have a good relationship with the government. As for the matter of the black bear, Zhou Chen only plans to report it to the government. As for how the government will deal with it, it is not his business.

Although it didn't snow today, there was no sun and the weather was gloomy.

The carriage had already gone far away. Zhou Chen carried Leng Yiyao on his back and hurried towards Qinghua County. On the way, Zhou Chen felt that someone was following him, but when he turned around, there was nothing.

"Brother Chen, what's wrong with you? Why do you keep looking back?"
"It seems that we have been targeted. If Yiyao starts fighting, you should run away first."

"What, no I can't leave you alone."

"Why are you still being stubborn at this time? You are just a burden to me. I can only be free from distractions when you are not around. Don't worry, with my current strength, it won't be difficult for me to escape even if I am not his opponent."

Just as the two were talking, a blurry figure suddenly appeared in the distance. The figure looked a little fat, and at this time, the dark shadow was waving at Zhou Chen and the others.

"Brother Chen, there is someone waving at us in front."

"I saw it, but it's not a human but a monster."

Hearing this, Leng Yiyao couldn't help but tremble. Zhou Chen looked at the black bear with cold eyes. As if the black bear noticed Zhou Chen's abnormality, it stopped waving.

Then he walked towards the two of them, Zhou Chen put Leng Yiyao down and then Heiyuan left his body. Originally, he could have just ridden the wind away, but in the early morning, Zhou Chen took Leng Yiyao and rode the wind away, stepped onto the top of the clouds to watch the sunrise. The power of the demon pattern had been exhausted and has not yet recovered.

Watching the black bear approaching step by step, Zhou Chen felt the danger getting closer with every step he took. When he got closer, Zhou Chen saw that this guy's strength had reached 500. With a strength of 500, Zhou Chen was no match for him anyway.

When I got closer, I saw a bear face speaking in human language, "Hmph, kid, you can't run away today. Today I will avenge my children."

"Hmph, your children kill innocent people indiscriminately and even dare to dream of eating people. I will kill them to atone for their sins."

"Hmph, how arrogant!" As soon as the words fell, a violent aura emanated from the black bear's body. Zhou Chen and the other man were shocked and retreated five or six steps. A large piece of snow on the ground was blown away.

Zhou Chen said, "Very strong."

Zhou Chen slowly put away Heiyuan, and Black Bear asked curiously, "Why are you planning to give up resistance now?"

As soon as he finished speaking, countless vines emerged from the ground and rushed towards him, instantly submerging the black bear. Zhou Chen picked up Leng Yiyao, jumped over the black bear and ran towards Qinghua County.

There was a loud bang behind him, and all the trees beside the black bear were blown to pieces. "Huh, I didn't expect you to have this skill." After saying that, he quickly chased after Zhou Chen and the others. Zhou Chen, holding Leng Yiyao, could not outrun the black bear at all.

When he was about to be caught up, Mu Fa activated again and saw sharp thorns growing from where Zhou Chen's feet stepped and stabbed towards the black bear that was chasing him quickly.

Seeing this, the black bear snorted coldly and did not dodge or evade, allowing the thorns to pierce its body. Although the thorns formed by the vines were sharp, they could not pierce the black bear's body.

The black bear was like a tank, charging forward behind Zhou Chen, and nothing could stop him.
