After a few days of trekking, Bai Xiaoqiu finally walked out of the forest. However, the village in front of him was not his destination, but a village called Qingtian Village. This is the closest village to Changqing Village. With Bai Xiaoqiu's foot strength, you can reach the destination in about five or six days. Bai Xiaoqiu stayed here to rest and add props, and the other was to inquire about the information of Changqing Village. After all, the two villages are so close that there will be some wind.

Bai Xiaoqiu and Rocky entered the village easily with the patrol team that happened to pass by.

Villages like this without a Hunter Guild branch usually have a pub and a village chief who plays the role of a hunter guild. So after purchasing some possible props, Bai Xiaoqiu and Rocky walked into the pub. First, they ordered a large table of wine and food, and then asked the waiter and the guests at the next table about the situation of Changqing Village.

In order to inquire about information, Bai Xiaoqiu and his friends ate this meal for two hours, but all they came up with were useless news.

Because Changqing Village has fertile land and basically maintains a self-sufficient state and has no specialties, it hardly trades with the outside world. In addition, it is remote and rarely hunters go there to do tasks. Therefore, although Changqing Village has not contacted the outside world for a while, these people don’t care much, and only some messages that don’t know the truth or the fake are spread.

"Why do you two go to the village chief to ask?" The waiter suggested at the checkout, "The village chief knows all the big and small things nearby. After all, Changqing Village is a neighboring village. If something really happens, the village chief should know a little about it."

So after he determined the address of the village chief's house from him, Bai Xiaoqiu ran over without stopping.

When he arrived at the village chief’s house, an old man with dark skin opened the door. He looked at Bai Xiaoqiu with some confusion and asked, “You two look at him, don’t know what’s the point of doing?”

Bai Xiaoqiu showed off the smile that his elders liked the most: "My name is Bai Xiaoqiu, I am a hunter. The cat man next to me is my companion Rocky. Don't you know you are the village chief of this village? I have some things I want to ask you."

The old man nodded: "Come in first, come in and talk to the house."

The village chief's home is not as exaggerated as Li Ergouzi's home, with monster heads hanging all over the walls. However, there are several weapons hanging on the walls. Although they look a little broken, there are still a little cold light on the blade.

"What to drink?" asked the old man, "They happened to give me two bottles of good wine a while ago. Should you try it?"

Bai Xiaoqiu waved his hands repeatedly: "No, no, let's just drink some water."

However, Rocky quietly raised the sign behind Bai Xiaoqiu: "Give me a cup!"

"Don't be polite, come and try it!" The old man was amused, took out a bottle of wine from the cabinet, filled it with Bai Xiaoqiu and Luo Qi, and raised his glass and asked, "I am the village chief of this village. I wonder what you two want to ask me?"

Bai Xiaoqiu said: "We are hunters from Pangshui Town. We received a task in the guild to investigate the reason for the loss of Changqing Village. When we got here, we wanted to take a break. We also asked if you know what happened in Changqing Village."

The old man asked in confusion: "Is he a hunter from Bangshui Town again? And he is also here to investigate the situation in Changqing Village? I just sent away a wave of people yesterday, and their words are the same as you."

"There are other people here?" Bai Xiaoqiu was also stunned, "I really don't know this..." Anyway, whether there are other hunters who have no effect on Bai Xiaoqiu, he didn't care too much, and then asked: "What happened in Changqing Village? Why haven't you contacted the outside world for so long? Have you sent someone to check it out?"

The village elder's expression suddenly became very ugly, and it seemed that he remembered some bad memories: "That village is haunted!!"

“Haunted?!”

The ghosts in this world generally refer to supernatural monsters, which are not very difficult to deal with. Even because they are severely restrained by the Soul-Suppressing Incense, those low-level ghosts are weaker than ordinary monsters. However, high-level ghosts are completely different, even if the superior hunter deals with them, they will have a headache.

"Well..." the old village chief nodded, "We are neighboring villages with Changqing Village. Although we don't have much contact on weekdays, we still exchange some information with each other every few months. I was a little worried that they had no news for so long, so I sent a team of hunters to Changqing Village to take a look..." The old man sighed, "There were six people when he went there, but when he came back, he was only Sun Kangle. He was covered in blood and was rescued by the patrol team at the entrance of the village. After seeing me, he fainted after saying two words "ghost". The doctor in the village said that he had injured his internal organs and could not continue to be a hunter even if he was rescued..."

There will not be too many permanent hunters in this kind of small village, so every hunter is extremely precious. This time, six hunters were lost, which is an extremely heavy blow to the village.

The old man continued, "Actually, even if you don't come, I will be going to the Hunter Guild in person in two days. Our village and Changqing Village are covered with water, and there is such a strange change there. I can't sit still and see..." He sighed again, "It's no longer a small village like us that can retain the power of six hunters."

Bai Xiaoqiu silently filled the old man with wine and then asked: "Is there any abnormality before Changqing Village lost contact?"

The village chief shook his head: "No."

After asking for a while, no useful information was found. Bai Xiaoqiu had to turn around and ask: "How is the senior Sun Kangle recovering from his injuries now? If it is convenient, we want to ask him about his condition at that time."

"I'm still recuperating at home," said the old man, "but the doctor said that his injury has recovered almost, so it's okay to answer some questions. The group of hunters from the Bangshui Town before just went to his house to ask yesterday, maybe you will meet again..."

Bai Xiaoqiu nodded, asked Sun Kangle's address again, and set out to the next location again.

———————————————————

After entering Sun Kangle's house, Bai Xiaoqiu immediately smelled a strong smell of medicine. The smell made his scalp numb and he couldn't help scratching his head.

Sun Kangle was lying on the bed alone, and did not see another group of hunters in the village chief's mouth. He was wrapped in a thick bandage. When he saw Bai Xiaoqiu walking into the house, he barely moved his body and sat up, and asked, "You are here to ask about the situation in Changqing Village, right?"
