Chapter 32 is tonight.
Chapter 32 is tonight.
Gazing at the cheerful fireworks in the distant village, he felt quite bored. He raised his hand to look at the bracelet:
It was simply slipped quietly onto my wrist, and at that moment, it looked no different from any ordinary bracelet.
"This can't go on..."
Xu Lun pondered that the reason he agreed to come to this universe was to figure out the function of the bracelet, but the second day was almost over and he still hadn't had a chance to use it.
Simply waiting won't do; I need to actively find opportunities to stimulate the bracelet to work, instead of keeping it in a dormant state.
To put it bluntly, it means taking the initiative to cause trouble.
It's unrealistic to think about unexpected opportunities or divine intervention.
Although this is a world of cultivation, I am neither a chosen one nor do I cultivate, so the script of a novel protagonist will never happen to me.
"People must rely on themselves..."
Xu Lun secretly resolved to find an opportunity to stir up trouble tonight.
That's right, tonight!
...
at the same time.
Inside Zulu Village.
At the chief's house.
Zhou Bo and his junior apprentice, one on each side, helped the already drunk chieftain to his bedside, swaying unsteadily.
"Brother Zhou...you have a good capacity for alcohol!"
The chief, looking quite drunk, grinned and gave a thumbs-up.
Zhou Bo cupped his hands in a respectful gesture and said solemnly, "Chief Lu, you flatter me!"
"Hahaha! You...!"
The chief burst into laughter upon hearing this, but before he could finish speaking, he lost his balance and, with a "bang!", fell headfirst onto the bed, causing his pufferfish fur blanket to stick up.
"Huff...huff..."
As soon as I lay down, I heard the chief snoring from the bed.
Zhou Bo had just bowed with his hands clasped and hadn't had a chance to help the chief up. Seeing that the chief had fallen asleep immediately, he had no choice but to give up and smiled helplessly.
"Ugh!"
Behind him, the old man surnamed Wu sighed and shook his head, saying:
"I'm sorry to have made you laugh, Young Master Zhou."
Upon hearing this, Zhou Bo quickly smiled and said:
"Not at all, Elder Wu. It's still your old wine that you've been treasuring for many years. It's so delicious. Even if Chief Lu came, my mentor would probably get drunk."
Old Wu was both angry and amused upon hearing this:
"Sigh, don't even mention it. That brat has been eyeing my old jar of wine for years, ever since he was a kid. Today he finally got to drink it, downing more than half of it! Humph! Even his dad barely got a few sips, what a lucky break for him!"
Zhou Bo smiled, stopped talking about it, and changed the subject, saying seriously:
"Old Wu, please go home and rest early, and tell everyone that no matter what happens tonight, do not go out!"
My junior brothers and sisters and I would patrol the area all night long. Once we discovered any trace of a monster, we would try to drive it away as far away from the village as possible before figuring out how to deal with it.
Of course, if any villagers discover anything unusual or disturbing anywhere, please notify us immediately. Do not attempt to investigate without authorization, as this could lead to danger and disaster!
The old man nodded:
"Young Master Zhou's consideration is very thoughtful. Don't worry, I'll make the arrangements right now."
However, to coordinate with Young Master Zhou's actions, I will still arrange for a few people to patrol the village tonight, so that I can report to you immediately if anything is discovered.
Zhou Bo nodded and cupped his hands in greeting:
"Alright, we'll leave this to Mr. Wu. We'll go out now and survey the surrounding terrain to plan a suitable patrol route."
The old man returned the greeting with clasped hands, saying as he stepped back:
"Please proceed, Young Master Zhou."
By the way, a villager will be assigned to keep watch at the thatched hut at the village entrance tonight. I'll go there myself later to give them a proper explanation.
"I hope that Young Master Zhou will keep a close eye on the situation there during his patrol. After all, the villagers who were killed last night were the ones who were on night watch. Tonight, the monsters might still appear in that area."
Upon hearing this, Zhou Bo frowned, feeling somewhat uneasy about the old man's arrangement.
Knowing that the monster might reappear, they still arranged for a villager to keep watch at the village entrance. Isn't that tantamount to offering food to the monster?
Unless... that was the old man's original intention...
Let's play along...
Lure...
Zhou Bo's eyes flickered slightly, as if he had thought of a certain possibility, but he did not say it aloud, as it was not appropriate for him to inquire about some of the old man's arrangements.
The next second, he came to his senses, smiled calmly at the old man, and then led his junior brothers and sisters away from the chief's house.
We went outside.
He glanced at his junior brothers and sisters, who understood immediately and nodded quickly.
Without saying a word, Zhou Bo's mind was immediately stirred!
Suddenly, a pair of white wings appeared behind him, as if they had been formed in an instant, blending seamlessly with his clothes without any sense of incongruity.
With a "whoosh!" sound, the junior brothers and sisters next to them also simultaneously condensed their own wings.
Three winged cultivators, amidst the villagers' shocked gazes and exclamations, flapped their wings and soared into the night sky with a "whoosh!"
"Wow!"
Everyone couldn't help but look up. At that moment, they finally understood why these cultivators were called "celestial beings".
They can soar freely in the vast sky, like a group of celestial spirits.
The old man also came out of the house at this moment, looked up at Zhou Bo and the others who had already flown far away, and a meaningful expression appeared on his face.
...
at the same time.
The three who had taken to the sky quickly reunited.
Zhou Bofei stood in the middle, with his junior brothers and sisters on his left and right, observing the surrounding area of the village from a bird's-eye view.
Zhou Bo's junior apprentice suddenly asked:
"Senior brother, what do you think of that old man surnamed Wu?"
Zhou Bo smiled slightly, observing the situation below as he spoke:
"You mean he doesn't look like a local, and might be hiding his identity and living in seclusion here?"
There was no need to guess. The old man did not deliberately hide his words and actions. His every word and deed indicated that he came from an extraordinary background and was definitely not an ordinary person who had lived in this place all his life.
Although there are indeed many mysteries surrounding Mr. Wu, these are none of our concern.
Don't forget, the purpose of this trip I took you two out is to improve your own strength, not to explore other people's secrets.
This is a major taboo in the martial arts world; please remember this when you're out and about.
The junior brothers and sisters nodded solemnly upon hearing this.
"Alright, let's not talk about that anymore. Our mission tonight is to conduct aerial patrols around the village, so we first need to figure out the surrounding terrain."
Zhou Bo then changed the subject and continued.
