One person: Longhushan security guard, stopped the Ten Elders until they cried!

[Ding! The host has successfully punished the Ten Elders' lackeys who infiltrated the territory using inhuman methods, and has received a critical hit reward!]

[Reward: Triple Rebirth - Beginner Level!]

Good guy!

Zhou Yan's lips curled up as he sensed the profound truth that had arisen out of nowhere in his mind, and he was momentarily stunned.

Not far away, two stray dogs were still entwined together, purring and whining.

However, the curly-haired teddy bear has clearly returned to normal.

It not only stopped resisting, but began to cooperate actively...

Coming to his senses, Zhou Yan pinched his chin and nodded secretly.

That's so true to me!

This double blow, both mental and physical, is guaranteed to be unforgettable for the other party!

But... what about the "Ten Old Men's Lackeys"?

Zhou Yan quickly went through the list of the Ten Elders in his mind.

Of the ten elders, which one would communicate with dogs and do such a despicable thing as spying on and touching them?

Soon, a burly man with a bald head and a thick beard, wearing a dark red mandarin jacket, appeared before my eyes...

That's so hard to guess!

With a simple trick, he obtained the nearly lost "Triple Rebirth" technique for free...

This is a huge profit!

Although it's just the 'beginner' level, with general skills as a foundation, it's only a matter of time before I reach the third level!

It seems that in the future, we'll need to be more innovative in how we handle the issue of "stopping people"...

Zhou Yan withdrew his gaze and turned to look behind him.

"Exquisite, exquisite?!"

"what!"

Lu Linglong seemed to wake from a dream, and shuddered violently: "Brother Zhou, I'm so sorry! I didn't mean to..."

Zhou Yan scratched his head, looking completely bewildered.

When did Fu Rong leave?

What's going on with Linglong?

I was busy playing with the dog just now, and I vaguely remember that the two of them seemed to be at each other's throats...

How come one of them disappeared in the blink of an eye, and the other seems to have done something wrong?

"What do you mean it wasn't intentional?" Zhou Yan asked, puzzled.

He turned to look at Wang Ye and Zhuge Qing.

The two turned their heads away, avoiding eye contact with each other...

On the other side, Lu Linglong waved her hands repeatedly, her face flushed red:

"N-nothing!"

Zhou Yan shook his head, too lazy to pay any more attention.

A woman's mind is like a needle at the bottom of the sea.

Let whoever wants to guess, guess!

"Hey, Brother Lin, Linglong, let's go, I'll show you around the village..."

Zhou Yan turned around and continued leading the way, casually saying, "By the way, although the environment here is not bad, the network is terrible, and there's not much to do."

"Are you planning to just wander around, or stay for a few days?"

Lu Linglong suddenly stopped in her tracks.

Brother Zhou... he really got angry!

Is this an attempt to get rid of me?

Zhou Yan didn't notice Lu Linglong's unusual behavior at all...

In his view, the other party only said they came to visit him, and never said they would stay there.

We can't be too wishful!

Moreover, both of them are young masters and ladies from the Lu family, accustomed to a life of luxury. It's quite normal that they might not be able to endure the harsh conditions in this village.

Halfway through the question, Zhou Yan turned around and suddenly realized...

Why did Lu Linglong's once vibrant ahoge (cowlick) on her head go limp?

........

Shh...shh...shh...

Go up the winding village road.

Two expressionless women, nicknamed "Ru Hua," were meticulously sweeping up trash and fallen leaves from the road.

Lu Linglong was still in a daze, looking listless.

Lu Lin, who was walking behind, was once again deeply shocked!

"This...this is...mechanical manipulation?!"

Lu Lin stepped closer and looked 'Ru Hua' up and down as she swept the floor.

His eyes were filled with disbelief!

"Not only is it exquisitely crafted... but it can also execute such precise commands on its own!"

He saw clearly.

There's absolutely no one around here controlling these two puppets!

Lu Lin's eyes lit up as she turned to look at Zhou Yan:

"Brother Zhou, whose work is this...?"

Zhou Yan scratched his nose and said casually:

"It's the village chief."

It's the village chief again!

Lu Lin took a deep breath.

Sure enough, the village chief of Mayan Village, who called this small village "Xinjie", was no ordinary person!

Lu Lin looked at Zhou Yan with a solemn expression: "Brother Zhou, would you have the honor of paying a visit to this village chief?"

"Of course." Zhou Yan shrugged.

Since we're already here, we'll have to meet sooner or later.

Regardless of whether the two will suddenly come to blows due to their differing ideologies...

Zhou Yan decided to try and save face for Village Chief Ma in advance:

"I should warn you first, Village Chief Ma is a bit unpredictable and doesn't know his own limitations when it comes to doing things..."

Zhou Yan pursed his lips: "But he's a nice person. Never mind, you'll see when you meet him."

-----------------

That night, the moon was bright and the stars were few.

Deep in the mountains of your province.

A middle-aged man wearing glasses and with his hair slicked back was walking briskly along the uneven dirt road in the mountains.

Half a body length behind him was a girl with long, wavy blonde hair, whose gender was indistinguishable at first glance...

"Brother Xiao..."

In view, an inconspicuous, dilapidated thatched house had come into view.

Two-tailed Zi spoke first, his voice a strong, resonant male voice:

"According to the clues provided by 'the Northeast,' Chen Duo has been gone for two days. Is there any point in us going there now?"

Beside him, Xiao Zizai, a middle-aged man with slicked-back hair, pushed up his reflective glasses and said in a deep voice:

"Let's look around, maybe we'll find some clues."

Xiao Zizai's gaze was almost tangible, coldly fixed on what lay ahead.

He pointed to the lonely little house not far away.

"Deep in the mountains and forests, there is no village in front and no shop behind."

Those who can live here are definitely not ordinary people... Be careful!

Before the words were even finished!

Whoosh!Whoosh!

Two extremely sharp energies rushed towards us without warning!

Its speed and the angles it used were so tricky that they revealed its experience and ruthlessness!

Even someone as powerful as Xiao Zizai could only barely sense the Qi before the attack was already upon his face!

[Soaring Finger!]

From the direction of the thatched house, a faint, aged, and withered snort could be heard.

boom!boom!

Two incredibly sharp finger strikes hovered an inch in front of the blonde, wavy-haired man!

A pale red light shield appeared out of thin air, firmly blocking the attack that was powerful enough to pierce through metal and stone, making it impossible for it to advance any further!

"Aww~!"

Big Waves put one hand on his hip and flicked the light shield in front of him with the other, his face full of emotion.

"This protective artifact is indeed worthy of the company's production... its quality is surprisingly good!"

He grinned at Xiao Zizai: "Brother Xiao, you were right! There was a surprise waiting for you!"

"Who! Who's there! You bastard, is that you?!"

From the shadows beside the thatched house, the old voice rang out again.

Faintly, one could hear the clanging sound of a wheelchair rolling over the grass.

The girl nicknamed "Mischief" tossed her full head of blond hair and smiled brightly.

He recognized the owner of the voice!

"Old Xia, it's been a long time!"
