My path to immortality began with my posting to guard Dawancun.

Chapter 83 Ambush Location
"how is the situation?"

Within Dawan Village,

On the open space in front of the village hall,
Shen Changchuan looked up at the sky, his gaze deep, and asked in a low voice.

In front of him,

Led by his maternal grandfather Han Qinhu, two or three dozen young men stood on each side.

Among them were two newly minted cultivators, Duan Xiaolei and Wang Tieniu.

Everyone's expression was solemn.
Every now and then, someone in the group would look up at the sky, their face filled with fear and apprehension.

And in the open space among the crowd.

The two bodies, covered with white cloth, were carried to the scene on makeshift stretchers.

"These two villagers were attacked while they were out gathering firewood for warmth."

"The two of them didn't even have time to react before they lost their lives in that beast's attack."

"Fortunately, the village's guard team discovered it in time, preventing the beast from causing even greater consequences."

"But now that beast is lingering in the sky. Although it has not caused any more killings, we are powerless against it."

"Fortunately, as long as we stay at home, with the shelter of the house, we don't have to worry about that beast's attack."

Standing in front, Han Qinhu calmly spoke.

In fact, the situation is much worse than he described.

Because the Swift Falcon seemed to have become much smarter after learning its lesson from the last time.

It only cautiously targets lone individuals for attacks.

Instead of attacking groups that are clustered together,

Perhaps they were worried about falling into a trap.

But,

This undoubtedly put immense pressure on everyone in the village!
Nowadays, the villagers are too afraid to leave their homes.

They were afraid that if they went out, they would be attacked from above.

"The problem now is that the beast seems to have learned its lesson and is circling high in the sky without coming down. It will be difficult to set up a trap as before."

"If we can't deal with that beast, there will probably be a lot of trouble later."

Having said that,

A somewhat unpleasant expression also appeared on Han Qinhu's face.

Judging from the behavior of that Swift Falcon, it is clearly vengeful.

If this situation only lasts for a short period of time, it's not so bad.

Once the time is extended,
That would definitely cause a huge problem!

Putting aside other things,

The weather is getting colder and colder, and if there isn't enough firewood for heating, many people will freeze to death.

Between talking,

Han Qinhu looked up at the sky with apprehension.

at this time,

High up in the sky,
Above the nine heavens,

A black dot the size of a fly hovered high in the sky.

At a distance of hundreds of feet, many things were already too small to see clearly.

But Han Qinhu could still feel the other party's sharp gaze, which seemed to carry a hint of mockery and provocation.

The other side hovered silently in the sky.
It never landed.

They will no longer launch attacks.

But its existence casts a shadow over everyone's hearts.

"What if we can't solve this?"

Han Qinhu was worried.

There's a saying: "You can catch a thief for a thousand days, but you can't guard against him for a thousand days." Having spent most of his life wandering the mortal world, he understood this very well.

Even if enough people can be gathered while chopping firewood, their numbers will deter the enemy from launching an attack, thus solving the village's heating problem.

But what about after spring?

After the spring, cultivate the sacred fields.

Cultivating ordinary fields in the village,
Surely you should go out, right?

Of the thousands of people in the entire village, probably only Shen Changchuan himself is immune to attacks from the Gale Falcon when he goes out.

Thinking of this, Han Qinhu looked at Shen Changchuan ahead, hoping that he could come up with a solution.

As his gaze shifted,

All eyes around him turned to Shen Changchuan.

For this,

Shen Changchuan remained calm.
Not much has changed.

It has a sense of composure that remains unchanged even if Mount Tai collapses before you.

This gave Han Qinhu a momentary sense of realization.

I don't know when to start,
The boy in front of us, who is only fifteen or sixteen years old, has already become a pillar of support for everyone, giving people a rare sense of security.

It was as if as long as he was there, no difficulty was a problem.

He didn't pay much attention to the people around him.

Shen Changchuan withdrew his gaze from the Gale Falcon in the sky.

"Let's do this for now."

"Grandpa, take some men to appease the villagers. Don't worry, that beast won't be able to roam free for long. The problem will be solved in a few days."

Shen Changchuan waved his hand.
It seems they didn't take it too seriously.

"Is Changchuan going to set a trap like last time? But now that beast seems to have learned his lesson. If he sets a trap in the village again, the effect probably won't be very good."

Han Qinhu hesitated for a moment before finally asking.

However, he wasn't trying to refute it; he was simply curious and puzzled.

Han Qinhu knew very well that

Shen Changchuan was not the kind of person who liked to boast or talk big.

When someone is confident about something, there's a 90% chance they'll succeed.

"Of course, it wasn't a trap set in the village."

"Having suffered a major setback in the village, it's likely that it will not only think twice before launching an attack, but will also remain extremely vigilant and cautious even during the brief moments between attacks."

"In this way, even if we manage to trap it, the success rate of keeping it is probably not high."

"To completely catch it, you need to go to a place where it has no defenses at all."

A glint flashed in Shen Changchuan's eyes, revealing a confident sense of complete control.

Regarding the ambush location,
He already had the answer in his heart.

Even humans, with their intelligence, have something that is easy to overlook.

That's like the darkest place being under the lamp!

The location of the ambush on the Swift Falcon was then quite clear.

and,

It's time to go and investigate that cave ruin.

You might even get some benefits.

"To deal with this Gale Falcon, I will be away for a while over the next few days."

"I'll trouble my grandfather to help me manage all the affairs in the village."

"If there's any emergency, just send a message talisman."

Thinking of this,

Shen Changchuan didn't hesitate for long and spoke directly.

"Don't worry, you can leave all the village affairs to me."

Han Qinhu had no idea what Shen Changchuan was up to, so he could only agree to everything.

My grandson is so confident

Then it's highly likely that there's no major problem.

Although I had made up my mind

But Shen Changchuan did not leave immediately.

Instead, they patrolled the area around Dawan Village first to ensure a certain level of safety before deciding to set off the next day.

However, Shen Changchuan hasn't arrived yet.
Some unexpected visitors disrupted his schedule, forcing him to delay for an extra day or two.

There were envoys claiming to be from the Mutual Aid Alliance for Home Protection.
They came in a grand manner.

They invited Dawancun to join their group, forming an alliance to protect each other in order to deal with the impending chaos.

　It's a little better, but the author is still physically and mentally exhausted. After a rest, I should be able to update twice tomorrow. The day after tomorrow is July, and to maintain perfect attendance, I will definitely update more than twice a day. Long-time readers who know the author well know that an author with perfect attendance is in a completely different state from one without. You can start following along from now on.
