After Zhou Chu entered the wolf demon's lair, Xie Ning and Hu Xiaoxian waited outside.

Several hours had passed and Zhou Chu still hadn't come out, so Xie Ning couldn't help but worry.

So she asked Hu Xiaoxian to go to Baishi Village to inform Fan Li.

Upon hearing this, Fan Li did not hesitate at all. He took Xu Yuan and two other powerful martial artists and headed straight for the wolf demon's lair.

This is why Zhou Chu saw this scene when he walked out of the wolf demon's lair.

Fan Li arranged for Zhou Chu and Xu Yuan to lead the villagers down the mountain, while he himself led two martial artists into the wolf demon's lair to clean up the battlefield.

Zhou Chu understood that Fan Li, that old fellow, still needed his help.

There was no need to worry that he would take credit for his work, so he followed orders.

On the way down the mountain, Xie Ning asked Zhou Chu to tell him what happened after he entered the wolf den.

In high spirits, Zhou Chu recounted in detail how dangerous and terrifying the wolf den was, and how powerful and ferocious the female wolf was.

Zhou Chu was eloquent and spoke fluently and fluently.

Xie Ning stood to the side, gazing at him with an expression of adoration, seemingly absorbing little of what he was saying.

Xu Yuan, on the other hand, listened with great interest, occasionally letting out a gasp of amazement.

As Xu Yuan listened, he began to find it absurd.

"Wait! You mean you only glanced at the array diagram and figured out three arrays?" Xu Yuan felt his intelligence had been insulted.

He turned to Xie Ning and said, "Miss Xie, do you believe this? I certainly don't. This kid has such thick eyebrows and big eyes, I never thought he could exaggerate even more than me."

The female wolf spent over three hundred years figuring out those three formations, and you figured them out in just one glance?

He talks like he's a genius. If that were true, I, Xu Yuan, would eat shit upside down.

"Yes, I believe you." Xie Ning said with an expression that seemed perfectly natural, her gaze never leaving Zhou Chu.

"Tsk tsk, it's good to be handsome, people will believe this kind of nonsense." Xu Yuan muttered with a sneer.

As they spoke, the group arrived at a village called Lujia'ao.

More than 20 people in the group were villagers from Lujia'ao.

As dawn broke, the villagers had already begun their day's work. Seeing a large number of people arriving from outside the village, someone immediately rang the village bell.

In a short while, all the villagers arrived at the village entrance.

The villagers who were rescued from the wolf den by Zhou Chu found their relatives and embraced each other, weeping.

The sounds of crying and wailing rose and fell, filling the once deathly quiet village entrance with a cacophony.

Lu Meng was also from Lujia'ao. When Hu Xiaoxian went to inform Fan Li, she took him back to the village.

His home was deepest in the village, and as soon as he heard the village bell ring, he would immediately run out.

When we arrived at the village entrance, it was already crowded with people.

Lu Meng was small and thin, and he had to use all his strength to squeeze out from the back of the crowd.

He ran up to Zhou Chu, bowed respectfully, and said:

"Master!"

"Have you seen my sister?" Lu Meng asked, looking at the crowd behind Zhou Chu, searching for his sister's figure.

Zhou Chu shook his head. When he rescued the villagers from the wolf den, the situation was too chaotic, and he didn't have time to look for Lu Meng's sister in the crowd.

A woman holding a child saw Lu Meng and walked over, saying:

"Amon."

"Third Aunt, have you seen my sister?"

Lu Meng remembered that day when his sister and his third aunt were captured by the wolf demon.

After hesitating for a moment, the woman said:

"Your sister...she..."

The woman stammered, unsure how to say it.

Lu Meng already knew the outcome in his heart, and his expression instantly darkened.

But he still didn't give up his last hope, grabbing the woman's arm and asking repeatedly:

"What happened to my sister? Didn't she come back with you? Are there other people behind her...?"

The woman, still holding a child in her arms, couldn't bear Lu Meng's shaking any longer and had no choice but to tell the truth:

"Amon, on the very first day your sister was taken away..."

Even though Lu Meng had prepared himself mentally, he was still struck dumb by the woman's words.

In an instant, he seemed to have lost all his strength.

He released the woman's arm and walked blankly out of the village.

Looking at his thin back, Zhou Chu couldn't help but feel sorry for him.

In just a few days, Lu Meng lost all his loved ones. No one could bear such a blow, let alone an eleven or twelve-year-old boy.

Zhou Chu followed to see what the kid was up to.

Not far from the village, Lu Meng knelt down in front of a grave mound.

He didn't cry or say anything; he just pressed his forehead tightly against the yellow earth in front of the grave and remained motionless.

Xie Ning was deeply moved by what she witnessed.

But she soon noticed that Xu Yuan was even more dramatic, secretly wiping away tears.

"Why are you crying?" Xie Ning asked.

Xu Yuan deliberately rubbed his eyes hard and said:

"When did I cry? I just got sand in my eye."

Before long, Zhou Chu returned with Lu Meng.

Aside from his bloodshot eyes, Lu Meng showed no other emotion on his face.

The village chief of Lujia'ao led his grandson, who had been lost and found again, to Zhou Chu, knelt down with a thud, and kept thanking him.

Seeing this, the other villagers also knelt down and kowtowed in gratitude.

Not long ago, Zhou Chu was a shaman who followed the mountain god to bring disaster to the village, but now he has become the savior of the villagers. Life is always so strange.

Zhou Chu told all the villagers to stand up, pulled Lu Meng to his side, and said to the villagers:

"If you want to thank someone, thank Lu Meng. He's the one who led me to the wolf demon's lair."

The villagers agreed verbally, but they didn't really take it seriously.

Lu Meng was just a guide; the real credit goes to Zhou Chu.

Zhou Chu observed the villagers' behavior and understood their thoughts.

So he continued:

"Lu Meng is my apprentice, Zhou Chu. Today, I entrust him to all of you fellow villagers. Please take good care of him for me. Once this matter is settled, I will come back to fetch him."

Upon hearing this, Lu Meng felt a warmth in his heart and looked at Zhou Chu with gratitude.

The villagers patted their chests and promised to take good care of Lu Meng, even if they didn't eat themselves, they would make sure Lu Meng was well-fed and clothed.

Zhou Chu knew that he had said all he needed to say, and the villagers would take good care of Lu Meng no matter what. That was all he could do to help Lu Meng at the moment.

He patted Lu Meng's head and said softly:

"My good disciple, wait here for me. Once the demonic calamity here is quelled, I will come and teach you the cultivation technique."

Lu Meng nodded emphatically, tears welling up in his eyes again.

After bidding farewell to the villagers of Lujia'ao, Zhou Chu led his team to the next village.

He had Xu Yuan lead the way while he squeezed into the crowd to find Xu Kun's sister, Xu Yao.

Zhou Chu had a very deep impression of Xu Yao.

Xu Yao was sixteen or seventeen years old, very beautiful, and had a slender figure.

Not to mention Baishi Village or Guniu Mountain, even in Wuyang City she would be considered one of the top beauties, and she is very easy to recognize.

Among the crowd, there were many girls around sixteen or seventeen years old, all with disheveled hair and dirty faces, looking almost identical, making them difficult to distinguish.

Zhou Chu walked from one end to the other but couldn't find Xu Yao, and he couldn't help but feel uneasy.

Based on the time when Xu Yao met Xu Kun, she was captured and brought into the wolf demon's lair one or two hours before Zhou Chu entered it, so she was unlikely to be harmed.

He continued searching from the back of the line, calling out Xu Yao's name as he went, but no one responded.

Just as Zhou Chu was about to walk out of the crowd, a hand gently tugged at his sleeve.

Zhou Chu turned around and saw the girl glance at him timidly before lowering her head again.

Zhou Chu recognized those eyes.

When he first transmigrated to this time, he saw terror, sadness, and despair in these eyes...

"Xu Yao?!" Zhou Chu called out her name.

The girl kept her head down and gave a barely audible "hmm".
