Chapter 284 A Giant Tiger Appears in the Mountains
Seeing the children suddenly appear, Brother Pan smiled awkwardly at Chu Chen.
Then he turned around and slapped the child standing closest across the face: "Can't you see there are guests here? Get back here, all of you!"
The child was slapped and burst into tears.
Seeing this, Chu Chen immediately stepped forward to stop him: "Brother Pan, what are you doing? Hitting a child is not a good thing."
The child cried and ran into his mother's arms.
The other children also timidly walked to the back, afraid that their father would suddenly attack them again.
"Brother Chu, please excuse my poor appearance. This farm boy is just greedy for meat; he's lacking discipline!"
"What farm kid doesn't have a sweet tooth? Let your sister-in-law bring the kids to eat with you!"
"Brother Chu, this is against the rules!" Brother Pan shook his head repeatedly upon hearing this!
Seeing this, Chu Chen was helpless. This kind of thinking was deeply rooted and could not be changed in a short time, nor would he try to change it!
So he picked up the bowl of meat and went into the kitchen!
After turning around, there were two bowls. He handed the larger one to the woman and said, "Sister-in-law, take the children and eat!"
"Brother Chu, this...this isn't right, you guys eat first!"
“Take it if you want it. With me here, Brother Pan won’t dare say anything!” After saying that, Chu Chen picked up the small bowl and returned to the table.
He casually pulled out a porcelain bottle of wine, and the two of them drank and chatted about the monsters in the mountains!
"Brother Pan, besides your village, are there any other villages where children have gone missing?"
During the meal, Chu Chen asked the man a question.
"I haven't heard of this anywhere else, but I've seen it with my own eyes here. I wouldn't lie about it. As soon as it gets dark, every household in the village with girls and children locks their doors tightly early in the morning."
After listening, Chu Chen immediately began to think. It seemed that if he wanted to cross this mountain and enter the neighboring country, he would inevitably encounter this monkey-like and bat-like creature sooner or later.
Since that's the case, why not stay here for a few days and see what this thing is all about?
After making up his mind, Chu Chen drank a few cups with the man before taking his leave.
Before leaving, Chu Chen gave each of the children one tael of silver, as a way of doing a good deed for Zhou Shixun.
"Brother Chu, perhaps we shouldn't go into this mountain!"
Upon hearing that Chu Chen insisted on going into the mountains, Brother Pan quickly tried to stop him.
"It's alright. I don't have the ability, nor would I dare to go in. Since I dare to go, I'm absolutely confident."
After listening, Brother Pan didn't say anything. Instead, he turned around, went into the house, picked up a wood-chopping knife, and came out.
“Young Master Chu, we have known each other for a while, so let me accompany you. I also want to see what kind of deity lives in those mountains.”
Seeing this, Chu Chen immediately stopped him, saying, "Brother Pan, this is absolutely not allowed. It's more convenient for me to be alone."
“I appreciate your kindness, but look at your wife and children behind you. You can’t take that risk.”
After Chu Chen finished speaking, he snatched the wood-chopping knife from his hand and turned to head into the mountains.
To convince the elder brother, Chu Chen used the speed expected of a seventh-rank expert, disappearing into the forest in just a few breaths.
Watching Chu Chen fly by so fast, Brother Pan and his family turned to the woman and said, "Honey, am I seeing things? Why do I feel like that Young Master Chu can fly?"
"What is the master saying? I saw it too. It can fly. We have met a benefactor."
After saying that, he led the children to kneel down in the direction where Chu Chen had disappeared.
Brother Pan looked at the silver the children handed over and muttered to himself.
"Yes, I've met a benefactor! Thank you, Brother Chu... no, thank you, benefactor!"
After entering the mountain, Chu Chen disappeared from the spot in a flash.
Inside the space, he was drinking water in large gulps. To protect himself from large wild animals in the mountains, Chu Chen also picked up a shotgun and held it in his hand.
Then he flashed out of the space, flew up to a big tree, and hid in the tree.
Judging from the description of that big brother, this thing was definitely man-made, but why only the child and the girl were arrested was something that Chu Chen couldn't figure out.
The monster is both human and bat-like. If a martial arts master wears a bat-like night outfit and moves at incredible speed in the dark, ordinary people will not be able to spot him at all.
The night in the mountains was a bit chilly. Chu Chen wrapped his down jacket tighter around himself and listened quietly to the sounds around him.
At midnight, the fog descended from the sky, and Chu Chen felt that everything was damp, making him feel quite uncomfortable.
Just as he felt that his efforts to guard the space were fruitless and was about to slip into the space,
Suddenly, the sound of footsteps stepping on dry branches came from under the tree.
Chu Chen immediately took out a pair of night vision goggles and put them on his head.
When he looked down at the tree, he suddenly saw a figure leading a huge tiger down the mountain.
Before long, they arrived at the big tree where Chu Chen was.
He then tied the giant tiger's rope to the trunk of the large tree where Chu Chen was.
Then he said to the giant tiger, "Brother, wait here for a moment, and I'll take you downstairs to get you some meat."
After saying that, he turned to the village ahead and said, "This awful weather is unbearable. If I weren't afraid of being discovered by those officials, I would have taken you into the village long ago and given you a good meal."
"Sigh, if you hadn't been injured, I wouldn't have gone through all that trouble to find meat for you. But you eat too much, kid. You've eaten all the wild animals around here. Otherwise, how would I have gone down there to play the ghosts and spirits!"
Chu Chen could see everything clearly from above. Just as he was thinking about how to deal with this person, he saw the person leap up and head down the mountain.
Only the giant tiger remained under the tree.
Judging from the aura and speed emanating from that person, Chu Chen believed that their strength was not much different from that of a sixth-rank expert.
Could it be that this person is capable of raising such a large beast?
But Chu Chen had no time to think. He leaped down from the tree and chased after the man at top speed.
Before long, the people in front noticed Chu Chen behind them.
He abruptly stopped in his tracks, then turned and shouted in Chu Chen's direction, "Who's there? Why are you chasing after me, Tiger?"
"Tiger, you really think of yourself as an animal. To raise that beast, you've harmed children and girls without cause. You must be the offspring of that tiger."
Chu Chen raised his hand and turned on the LED light above his head, shining it directly into the man's face as he spoke.
The person was instantly plunged into darkness by Chu Chen's blinding LED light.
Only then did Chu Chen get a clear look at the person in front of him. He saw that the person was wearing a black night suit, with the sleeves and waist connected. When he opened his arms, they looked like the wings of a bat.
Moreover, this person was small in stature, perfectly matching the image of the monster that Brother Pan had described.
