Heavenly Official Sends Evil

Chapter 844 Morning in the Mountains

puff……

The bear-man's head was thrown out of the old house and rolled on the ground.

Hei Gu walked out slowly, with some minor injuries on her legs and neck, but she didn't seem to be in any serious condition.

At this point, the last beastman in the old village had also died.

The only enemy they faced was the six-colored deer.

The six-colored deer remained silent for a long time, then slowly said, "I didn't expect you to have some skills. Considering you put on such a good show, I'll let you go."

Wu Xian picked up the already loaded four-tube rocket launcher from the ground and aimed it at the well.

"I told you, I'll only leave after I kill you."

The six-colored deer said with some annoyance, "In that case, you can stay here."

Wu Xian waved his hand impatiently: "Alright, stop pretending. You and I both know that you're already at your last gasp."

The six-colored deer was speechless.

Wu Xian continued:
"Since you knew how to stall for time when you were down the mountain, you must have known that delay could lead to unforeseen consequences. I was communicating with you just now to buy time, so what was your purpose in cooperating with my communication?"

"The answer remains: delay."

"The City God's Office has investigated the old village, so your beastman must be hiding in the mountains."

"If you are capable of killing us yourselves, there is no need to wait for the beastmen in the mountains to arrive before starting the war."

After Wu Xian finished speaking, he hoisted the rocket launcher onto his shoulder.

The six-colored deer hurriedly said, "Wait a minute, you can't destroy my physical body. My physical body is the core of the barrier protecting the villages near Wild Apple Mountain. Once you destroy my physical body, the wild beasts on Wild Apple Mountain will attack humans at night."

boom!
Wu Xian pulled the trigger, and the rocket hit the wellhead, causing a violent explosion that also emitted an indescribable odor.

The six-colored deer screamed in agony amidst the smoke and dust of the explosion and fell into the well.

The bullets were too small to be filled with contaminants, but the rockets from the City God Temple had ample space to be filled with filth, so the explosion itself could cause some damage to evil spirits.

Wu Xian then walked to the wellhead and fired the remaining three rockets into the well, resulting in another violent explosion.

After the explosion ended, Wu Xian said to the well opening:
“In this day and age, wild beasts are easy to deal with. Also, you once said that the strange changes in the villagers down the mountain were because you adjusted the barrier. So as long as the barrier is destroyed, they should return to normal.”

"Now, let's end it all."

After saying that, Wu Xian crossed his two fingers.

In an instant, a dense bolt of lightning shot down from the sky, forming a pillar of lightning at the mouth of the well. The dazzling lightning mercilessly and precisely tore the six-colored deer in the well apart.

With a piercing scream, a beam of white light shot out from the well and then slowly disappeared into the air.

The six-colored deer fell silent.

Wu Xian remained motionless at the wellhead for a long time.

The three companions and animals watched from behind Wu Xian, and even the most talkative raven, Sangbiao, dared not utter a word.

At this moment, Cui Yundi awoke amidst the thunder and found himself in unfamiliar surroundings. He cautiously asked:

"What's going on here?"

Upon hearing the voice, Wu Xian turned around and forced a smile.

"We won, it's all over."

The atmosphere immediately relaxed, and the people present cheered continuously.

He Qiao pulled the white fox Dada into his arms tightly.

Wang Chunyan and her monkey struck a victory pose together.

Yang Xingxing collapsed to the ground, while Raven Sangbiao bounced on his chest, repeatedly shouting, "Useless, useless!"

Wu Xian looked up at the moon in the night sky, lost in thought.

Ring ring… The cheerful atmosphere lasted for a short while before Wu Xian's phone suddenly rang. He opened the phone, saw the caller's name, and then answered on speakerphone:

"Hello, Mr. Wu, this is Ge Feng."

“I was a little worried, so I came to the village to take a look. I found that more than a dozen houses in the new village had been burned down, and the villagers were lying on the ground unconscious, their clothes disheveled.”

"Do you know what this is?"

Before Wu Xian could answer, Wang Chunyan ran over and asked, "Uncle Ge, are you sure the villagers are just unconscious?"

Ge Feng said, "Of course, they're all lying here at the guesthouse. I checked their breathing one by one. No one is dead, but some are injured..."

Wang Chunyan replied excitedly, "That's great! The barrier has indeed been broken, and the villagers can return to normal."

"What's so good about this?" Ge Feng was dumbfounded.

Yang Xingxing also walked to the phone:
"Please listen to me slowly. A lot happened tonight, so exciting it was like being in a paradise..."

He Qiao and the other two family members chatted excitedly with Ge Feng over the phone, recounting everything that had happened that night.

Wu Xian walked to a rock, lowered his head, and sat down.

Hei Gu walked over and placed her paws on his leg to soothe Wu Xian's emotions.

Cui Yundi walked over timidly: "The danger is over now, right? Can I ask what exactly happened?"

Wu Xian suddenly looked up and stared at Cui Yundi with his one eye for a long time, until he almost made the girl cry, before he looked away.

"You don't need to know, you'll forget about it anyway..."

……

The mountains were awake before the sun had even risen.

Birds chirped and insects hummed, leaves were covered in dew, all things were reviving, and the village at the foot of the mountain was immersed in a fog mixed with thick smoke.

Fortunately, the fire did not spread, and only the first few houses that caught fire were affected.

The City God's convoy stopped at the village entrance, and fully armed soldiers surrounded the entire village, carrying out post-disaster cleanup.

Wu Xian and the others stood at the door, having changed into clean clothes.

Upon hearing this, Ge Feng couldn't help but sigh at the complexity of what had happened that night, regretting that he hadn't come to help sooner.

"An evil event that has shrouded the entire village! I never thought such a major event could happen in the area I manage. Fortunately, this is a mountain village, where information is not easily disseminated, so the news did not spread quickly."

"For the next period of time, the new village will be under the supervision of the City God's Office."

"That's why I'm even more determined to promote pet tourism. Firstly, it can help the village's economy recover quickly, and secondly, if any villagers still have health problems, having their pets here can help them deal with them in a timely manner."

After discussing the aftermath for a while, Ge Feng pulled Wu Xian aside and whispered:

"You saw many beastmen on the mountain. Could you tell me if my son was among them...?"

After hearing this, Wu Xian shook his head: "The beastmen I've seen are all old people."

Upon hearing this, Ge Feng sighed deeply, his body seemingly hunching over a bit.

Wu Xian patted him on the shoulder:

"Please accept my condolences. I came here for sightseeing, but I didn't expect things to turn out like this on the first day. Let Xiao Wang and the other two accompany me to the county town for a day."

Ge Feng hesitated slightly after hearing this: "We don't have many people in our small town. They can help with the cleanup if they stay. What do you think, should we...?"

Wu Xian's attitude, however, was very firm:

"No, they have to come with me. They were also involved in this incident, and we need to report it to our superiors together when we get back to the county."

“We’re only going for one day. I’ll let them come back tomorrow and help you with the cleanup.”

Hearing this, Ge Feng had no reason to stop him.

So Wu Xian and his four relatives, along with their five pets, boarded the car to return to the county town.
