Chapter 1584

Lin Zhou put away the jade pendant: "It is only with everyone's concerted efforts that we can defeat him."

Huo Jilin said: "It is not advisable to stay here for long, let's leave quickly."

Everyone nodded, took the agate and green crystal, and left the mysterious bamboo forest.

Along the way, everyone was silent, recalling the thrilling scene just now.

Wang Kaixuan broke the silence: "This time it was really a life-and-death experience, but the gains were not small."

Hu Bayi smiled: "Yes, but you have to be careful in the future and can't take risks casually."

Lin Zhou also said: "This experience made me understand that in the face of danger, unity and courage are the most important."

Huo Jilin looked at everyone: "We can be regarded as sharing hardships. If there is anything in the future, we will face it together."

Everyone smiled at each other and continued to move forward, and their figures gradually disappeared in the distance.

When the night slowly fell like black silk, shrouding the earth in darkness.

Huo Jilin, Hu Bayi, Wang Kaixuan and Lin Zhou finally came to a place called Gu'an City.

The ancient city walls looked solemn and majestic under the dim moonlight, and the city gates were closed, as if guarding the secrets of the city.

The tired figures of the four people looked particularly small in front of the city gate. Wang Kaixuan weakly raised his hand and knocked on the city gate.

"Who is it?" A vigilant voice came from the city gate.

"We are travelers passing by and want to go into the city to rest for a night." Hu Bayi shouted.

After a while, the city gate slowly opened, and a guard poked his head out, looked them up and down, and then waved them in.

As soon as they entered the city, they felt the unique atmosphere of the city. The houses on both sides of the street were staggered and the lights were dim.

At this time, the city lord came upon hearing the news. He was a middle-aged man with a kind face, wearing a gorgeous robe, and his eyes were full of enthusiasm and expectation.

"Dear guests from afar, you have worked hard all the way." The city lord said with a smile.

Huo Jilin and others hurriedly clasped their fists and saluted.

The city lord continued, "I have heard the guard's report and have come to greet you. Please rest in my house tonight. I will treat you well."

Everyone followed the city lord to the mansion, which was brightly lit and the servants were busy preparing a sumptuous dinner.

At the dinner table, the city lord picked up some dishes for them and said, "To be honest, our Gu'an City has encountered a troublesome thing recently."

Everyone looked at the city lord curiously.

The city lord frowned and continued, "The chickens and ducks in this city are always bitten to death by a mysterious animal, and the loss is heavy.

I sent people to investigate for a long time, but there is no result. I heard that you are extraordinary, I wonder if you can help us?"

Hu Bayi put down his bowl and chopsticks and said, "Don't worry, city lord, if we can help, we will do our best."

Wang Kaixuan stuffed food in his mouth and said vaguely, "City lord, please tell us about this mysterious animal first."

The city lord sighed, "This animal always appears at night, moves quickly, and no one can see its appearance clearly.

Every time, only the chickens and ducks that were bitten to death are left, and there are not many clues at the scene."

Lin Zhou said thoughtfully, "This is a bit strange."

Huo Jilin asked, "When did this situation start?"

The city lord recalled, "About half a month ago. At first it only happened occasionally, but recently it has become more frequent."

After dinner, everyone sat in the living room to discuss the matter.

Hu Bayi touched his chin and thought, "This mysterious animal can commit crimes frequently without being discovered. It must be very cunning."

Wang Kaixuan said with some concern, "Is it a powerful monster?"

Lin Zhou comforted, "Don't scare yourself. Let's go to the scene first."

Huo Jilin nodded, "Well, let's investigate tomorrow morning."

It was late at night, and everyone was resting in the room arranged by the city lord.

Wang Kaixuan lay on the bed, tossing and turning, unable to sleep, thinking about the mysterious animal.

"Oh, what should we do? If we really meet a powerful guy, can we handle it?" Wang Kaixuan muttered in a low voice.

In the room on the other side, Hu Bayi and Lin Zhou were also talking in a low voice.

Hu Bayi said, "This matter may not be simple. We have to deal with it carefully."

Lin Zhou responded, "Yes, but we should be fine together."

Huo Jilin was meditating in the room, adjusting his state, preparing for tomorrow's challenge.

The next morning, the sun shone on Gu'an City, adding a bit of warmth and vitality to the small city.

Huo Jilin, Hu Bayi, Wang Kaixuan and Lin Zhou got up early and went to the scene where the chickens and ducks were bitten to death under the leadership of the city lord.

The scene was in a mess, with chicken feathers and duck blood all over the ground, emitting a pungent smell.Hu Bayi squatted down and carefully observed the traces on the ground, frowning.

"From these footprints, the animal should be quite large." Hu Bayi said.

Wang Kaixuan covered his nose and muttered: "I can't see anything here, Lao Hu, can you be sure what did it?"

Hu Bayi rolled his eyes at him: "Don't interrupt, let me think about it."

Lin Zhou was checking the surrounding grass on the side, and suddenly he found some hair.

"Look, could this be left by the mysterious animal?" Lin Zhou raised the hair in his hand and said.

Huo Jilin took the hair and looked at it carefully: "This hair is hard, not like an ordinary animal."

Just then, a villager came over.

"Dear heroes, I seemed to see a black shadow flashing by here last night, at a very fast speed." The villager said.

Wang Kaixuan asked quickly: "Then did you see clearly what it was?"

The villagers shook their heads: "It was too fast, I didn't see it clearly, I just felt that it was very fierce."

Everyone fell into deep thought, and the city lord said anxiously: "What should we do? If we can't find the murderer, our city will suffer even greater losses."

Huo Jilin comforted: "Don't worry, city lord, let's check around again."

They followed the traces all the way and came to a forest outside the city.

The forest was gloomy and silent, with occasional bird calls, which made people feel a little scared.

"Everyone be careful, this place doesn't feel right." Hu Bayi reminded.

Wang Kaixuan swallowed his saliva: "Why don't we go back? I always feel that there is something dangerous in this forest."

Lin Zhou said: "We have come this far, how can we give up halfway? Maybe the mysterious animal is hiding in this forest."

As he was talking, a sudden gust of wind blew, and the leaves rustled.

"What is that?" Wang Kaixuan hid behind Hu Bayi in fear.

A huge figure rushed out from the depths of the woods and rushed towards them.

Huo Jilin reacted quickly, swung the peach wood sword in his hand, and a beam of light shot towards the figure.

"Ah!" The figure roared and stopped.

Everyone saw clearly that it was a huge black panther, its eyes flashing green and its fangs sharp.

"It turned out to be a black panther." Hu Bayi said.

The black panther seemed to be enraged and rushed over again.

Wang Kaixuan screamed in fear: "Help!"

Lin Zhou stepped forward and fought with the black panther.
