Strange things have happened frequently in the Black Prison Sect recently.

Every day, handymen disappeared mysteriously. At that time, the disciples of the sect thought that the handymen had escaped. However, as the number of missing handymen continued to increase, they realized that things were not as simple as they thought.

In the past few days, the situation has become increasingly serious.

Not only the servants have disappeared, but also the disciples of the sect cannot escape this disaster.

In just a few days, five steward disciples and two entry disciples also disappeared in mysterious circumstances like the handymen. No one was found alive and no body was found dead.

Whether it is the servants or the disciples of the Black Prison Sect, everyone is panic-stricken.

Early that morning, all the servants gathered in front of the mountain gate.

Due to the frequent occurrence of mysterious disappearances recently, the stern-looking disciples of the sect took the lead in counting the number of handymen.

Sure enough, just as they guessed, there were five more people missing.

All this is too weird, more and more people are missing every day, and all of them disappear without a trace, as if they have disappeared from the world, which is really weird.

After dismissing the servants again, the sad-looking disciples of the Black Prison Sect gathered together and began to discuss how to deal with this strange situation.

During this period, each disciple put forward their own guesses.

Some people say that a spiritual beast enters the village at night and devours the handymen, and then leaves at dawn. Others speculate that bloodthirsty spirits were born from the resentment accumulated by the handymen in the village over the years, which is why such a bizarre incident occurred.

In short, the disciples of the sect have different opinions, but none of their guesses can stand up to scrutiny.

First of all, if a wild beast enters a village and bites people, it will definitely leave traces. This kind of disappearance is obviously not caused by wild beasts.

The theory of resentful spirits is even more exaggerated, because the newly born resentful spirits are unconscious. If they are really resentful spirits, they will not stop until they kill all the handymen, and all the creatures killed by the resentful spirits will not stop.

The death was so miserable that not even the body was left.

Many speculations were overturned one by one during the discussion, and in the end the sect disciples still had no clue.

At this time, the eldest disciple Xiao Lang spoke:

"In this case, I will ask the master to continue the investigation. Now, we will start searching secretly in the handyman village in groups of three every day to see if we can find any clues!"

Xiao Lang spoke, and the disciples naturally did not dare to disobey.

In fact, in their eyes, the handymen are no different from the livestock in captivity, and are even inferior to the livestock. Although they cannot investigate the cause of the disappearance, they have never cared about it, so they are naturally unwilling to patrol all night for the sake of the handymen.

But things were different now, because the disappearance had already involved the disciples of the sect, which made them feel a sense of crisis. In addition, the eldest disciple Xiao Lang spoke, so they had no choice but to comply. After all, this matter might also concern them.

…

Diling Mountains, next to the woods beside Neihu Lake.

Black Tiger sat cross-legged on the spot, constantly breathing in the thin spiritual energy in the mountains and forests.

These spiritual energy seeped into his body little by little, strengthening his physical quality. The dark skin on his body was covered with thin layers of water mist under the nourishment of the spiritual energy, shining with a black luster.

The black tiger at this time was no longer the same as before. Sitting there, it looked like a bloodthirsty tiger lying on the ground, as if it would explode and bite people at any time.

In more than a month, Black Tiger already had more than a hundred lives in his hands. Without exception, these people were refined into blood pills and became nutrients for his spiritual roots.

As the quality of his spiritual roots continues to improve, his cultivation progresses faster and faster, his strength becomes stronger, and he is one step closer to his goal.

Now the Black Tiger's hunting targets are no longer limited to handymen, those sect disciples are also the Black Tiger's hunting targets.

However, the Black Prison Sect has recently begun to pay attention to the bizarre incidents of disappearances. A large number of sect disciples patrol the village every night, and it has become very difficult for the Black Tiger to find the target to devour.

However, this did not trouble Black Tiger.

Since it is impossible to kill people in the village, the killing place should be chosen outside the Black Prison Village.

After all, many handymen go out to chop wood and carry water every day, so black tigers still have plenty of hunting opportunities.

It can be said that even though the Black Prison Sect strictly defended it, the growth of Black Tiger's strength has never slowed down, but has become faster and faster.

Moreover, Black Tiger was well hidden. He was still the dull-looking young man in the sect and was not suspected. Even the disciples of the Black Prison Sect never thought that the person who could hunt down the servants and sect disciples would be an ordinary person.

A handyman who can be beaten and scolded at will.

During this period of time, Heihu found that he was becoming more and more cold-blooded and ruthless.

Just a few days ago, he killed a handyman who had helped him and was one of the few friends he had in the Black Prison Village.

However, Black Tiger did not hesitate to strike. Even though he begged, Black Tiger still did not let him go.

At this moment, Hei Hu suddenly remembered what the disciple of the sect had said earlier.

"We are cultivators, so we are superior to you. You servants are just beasts, and you will not regret dying!"

These words sounded so insane to Black Tiger at the time. He could still be so righteous without treating people as human beings.

But in the eyes of Black Tiger at this moment, this sentence is so correct. It is human nature to eat the weak and the strong. The so-called kindness can only exist in a peaceful world. However, this is the Black Prison Sect, a demonic sect that eats people without spitting out their bones.

Based on the territory, the more ferocious and cunning you are, the better you can survive.

Unknowingly, Heihu discovered that his current thoughts were no different from those of the Black Prison Sect disciples, and he had become what he hated most at the beginning.

However, Heihu has no regrets because he just wants to live without fear.

All his changes are thanks to the Black Prison Sect, so he wants to become stronger, stronger than the disciples of the Black Prison Sect, and go up a level in the food chain, and then eat them all up, and repay them in the craziest way.

, thank them for letting me understand the principle of law of the jungle.

At this time, Heihu had completely turned dark, and his actions he knew were extremely cruel, but he did not feel that he had done anything wrong.

As the sky gradually darkened, Black Tiger stopped practicing.

After standing up, the ferocious aura on his body dissipated, and his face returned to a dull and slightly frightened expression. He picked up the wooden bucket filled with water and started running towards the village.

On the way back, Black Tiger met several waves of sect disciples who were patrolling, but they did not notice the difference between Black Tiger and passed him by without even looking at him.

They never imagined that this handyman they passed by was the killer they were searching for and terrified.

Several days passed, and the black tiger's devouring growth continued. Even if the elder personally came out to investigate, no clues were found.

And the black tiger is also constantly accumulating strength under their noses, waiting for the moment to transform into a beast.

On this day, Black Tiger finished other chores as usual and was ready to go out of the village to fetch water.

Along the way, he began to observe the sect disciples around him, looking for targets to hunt.

When approaching Neihu, Black Tiger suddenly noticed a lone sect disciple.

However, Black Tiger did not take action, but ran straight towards the inner lake, while constantly observing the surroundings to prevent any ambush.

Now that you have decided to become a hunter, vigilance is a must.

The Black Prison Sect is a demonic sect. After three years of contact, he clearly understands how cunning these disciples are, and he can fall for them if he is not careful.

Moreover, the disciples of the sect now travel in groups of three or five, and it is very suspicious to go out alone, so Black Tiger did not dare to take action rashly.

The Black Prison Sect disciple seemed to have noticed Hei Hu. After staring at him for a moment, he stopped paying attention and continued walking forward.

After arriving at the lake, Black Tiger began to fetch water, but continued to look around and check the situation.

Originally, he was planning to practice here, but now is obviously not a good time. There is a disciple of the sect outside the inner lake. His inking here for too long may arouse suspicion.

So after fetching water, Black Tiger got up and carried the bucket to prepare to turn back.

Seeing the sect disciple again, Hei Hu shrank his head with a look of fear, and continued to trot forward in a sluggish manner. At the same time, his eyes continued to scan the surroundings to determine whether there was an ambush around him.

"Hey, stop!" At this time, the sect disciple suddenly spoke.

Black Tiger stood on the spot without any hesitation, then lowered his head and turned to the sect disciple, with a look of humbleness.

"How many years have you been in the Black Prison Sect?" The sect disciple approached step by step and stopped a meter away and asked.

"Three...three years, maybe." Black Tiger said with some uncertainty.

Heihu's tone of voice was exactly the same as that of other handymen. It seemed that his numb life had already made him forget about time. It could be said that there was no flaw exposed.

The disciple nodded, then waved his hand impatiently: "Go away."

Heihu heard this and quickly turned around and left.

When the sect disciple saw this, he immediately turned around and continued to cast his gaze towards the inner lake.

However, at this moment, Black Tiger, who was about to leave, suddenly turned around, with a fierce look in his eyes, and punched the disciple on the back. After the sect disciple fell to the ground, he held down the back of his neck and punched him.

Another punch hit him on the back of the head, leaving his head bloody and bloody.

After killing this sect disciple, Black Tiger did not hesitate at all, dragging the sect disciple's body towards the inner lake, and then along the inner lake to the place where he often hides and practices.

After the black tiger left, the figure of an old man wearing an elder's black robe appeared.

He looked at the direction where the black tiger was leaving with a smile in his eyes:

"As expected, he was really cunning. He actually scouted for so long before taking action!"

Since the disappearances occurred frequently, the Black Prison Sect has stipulated that disciples of the sect travel in groups of three to five, and no one is allowed to travel alone unless necessary.

However, the secret murderer was very cunning and never appeared, which gave the elder "Xuehan" who investigated the matter a headache.

After several days of investigation with no results, Xuehan thought of a way, which was to lure the murderer to appear on his own.

For this reason, he specially used the disciple who had just died as a bait. In a few days, he changed several locations frequented by the handymen, saying that he would let him investigate the handymen alone. In fact, Xuehan had already regarded him as a bait and abandoned him.

, used to lure the secret murderer.
