The two renowned constables exchanged a glance, then turned to Yang Feilong: "Not just one person!"
Their expressions held a hint of wariness.
This was their team's flower, a police beauty. This guy looked so handsome, was he trying to snatch their police beauty away?
Seeing their expressions, Yang Feilong knew that they had implicitly admitted that the Constable Lin they spoke of was indeed Lin Yunxi.
Yang Feilong smiled, and his figure moved, heading towards the ancient shadow village.
"What are you doing? There are phantoms there, appearing and disappearing at will. Even if you're strong, you could still fall in there," the slightly fatter constable urged, his voice filled with anxiety.
"If my strength is in danger, then my friend Lin Yunxi might be in mortal danger!" Yang Feilong's voice echoed, and the next moment, his figure vanished without a trace.
"This guy," the taller constable said with a complex expression, "At such a young age, to have reached the Spiritual Martial realm, such talent is truly enviable!"
"Even though we don't want him to snatch our police beauty, his going there is a good thing. Our colleague can also reduce some casualties!" the fatter constable sighed.
"That's true!" the taller constable nodded, having nothing more to say about it.
However, they hadn't contacted the constables in the ancient shadow village by phone. It wasn't that they didn't want to, but that they couldn't. There was no signal in the mountains, and even if there was occasional signal, a call might not go through. The ancient shadow village had no signal at all.
...
Ancient Shadow Village.
This was a very old village.
The people living in this village rarely communicated with outsiders, always living a life akin to that of a hidden paradise.
Even so, this village was not comparable to ordinary villages in the outside world, not in terms of material life. The ancient shadow village had always been self-sufficient. Instead, it was in terms of martial strength. Living in the mountains, they could grow vegetables, and for meat, they relied on hunting. Because traveling was not convenient, they often hunted, and their physical fitness was naturally much better than ordinary people!
There were even some ancient martial cultivators, though their numbers were few.
Because of the successive deaths in the village not long ago, the villagers began to feel that something was wrong. Although they observed and saw a phantom-like figure flash by when someone died, no one knew what this phantom figure was.
Due to the successive deaths of the villagers, and because they didn't know what the phantom figure was, the villagers worried that if this continued, everyone would die. Thus, they sent people out to seek help!
This led to many renowned constables coming here.
The number of renowned constables who arrived was not small, but the result was that even these constables didn't know what the phantom-like figure was. Not only that, but several constables had also died. As for Lin Yunxi, it was hard to say whether she was lucky or unlucky.
She saw it after the phantom committed a murder and decided to stop the phantom figure. However, she couldn't stop it and was severely injured herself!
To say she was lucky was because she was the first person to fight the phantom figure and not die!
She vaguely felt that the phantom figure was a living being, but she didn't know what kind of living being it was. She hadn't seen it clearly.
Yes, even after the confrontation, she still hadn't seen clearly what the phantom figure was. It didn't seem human, yet it had some human characteristics.
"Pfft!" Lin Yunxi coughed up blood and was sent flying backward.
She truly never expected that while others encountered a phantom figure with great difficulty, she had encountered it twice in a row. Yes, her injuries had not fully recovered, but she had returned again, searching for the phantom figure!
She hadn't expected to find it again!
Even more fortunately, this time she saw what the phantom figure actually was. It was a monster with a human body and a wolf's head!
"Wolf demon? This is a wolf demon!" As Lin Yunxi saw the phantom figure, her eyes were filled with disbelief. Wasn't this thing only in ancient texts? Wasn't it annihilated long ago? How could a wolf demon appear?
Unfortunately, this time, the wolf demon's aura and strength were even greater than when she encountered it yesterday!
"Its cultivation has broken through!" Lin Yunxi's face turned extremely grim.
Yesterday, she was no match for it. Today, encountering the wolf demon after its breakthrough, she knew she was in grave danger!
With just one blow, she had been severely wounded to the extreme!
Whoosh!
The next moment, the wolf demon attacked her again.
She had already called for help, but she knew it was useless. This village was not small, but this wolf demon was too fast. Although it had a wolf's head and a human body, it retained the wolf's characteristic of extreme speed, like lightning!
"No!" Seeing the pouncing wolf demon, Lin Yunxi's eyes were filled with despair and unwillingness.
She had finally broken through to the Profound Martial realm, and she had finally become a renowned constable. If she could complete this mission, she had a chance to be promoted to a two-star renowned constable!
But now, everything would be in vain!
She was going to die by the mouth of the wolf demon!
Unwilling!
Truly unwilling!
But already severely wounded to the extreme, she could only watch and wait for death. In fact, even if she resisted, she couldn't.
"Yunxi, I'm here!" Just then, a voice rang out.
The next moment, a figure arrived.
"Zhao Ling!" Seeing Zhao Ling's appearance, Lin Yunxi's eyes were filled with gratitude and excitement.
Zhao Ling, twenty-nine years old, was a few years older than her, but his cultivation was also much stronger than hers. With his early Spiritual Martial realm cultivation, he was one of the two strongest constables present.
The leader of this mission was two early Spiritual Martial realm cultivators!
One of them was Zhao Ling.
Why didn't he act with Lin Yunxi? Because Lin Yunxi didn't want him to.
And why did Zhao Ling appear so coincidentally? Because Zhao Ling had been secretly following Lin Yunxi, as he liked Lin Yunxi. But Lin Yunxi had never shown him favor, so he thought, if Lin Yunxi were in danger, and he appeared in time for a heroic rescue, wouldn't that change Lin Yunxi's attitude? And then he could successfully win her heart?
Of course, to prevent Lin Yunxi from discovering him, he followed from a distance, thinking that if Lin Yunxi encountered danger, as long as she could hold on for one move, he would be able to arrive in time.
And now, everything was unfolding as scripted.
Therefore, Zhao Ling was very excited.
However, in his excitement, he didn't observe the demon wolf carefully, and as a result, the demon wolf bit his arm and directly, directly severed it!
"Ah!" Zhao Ling screamed in pain, his cry so piercing that it sent chills down one's spine!
