Hearing his voice, Chen Ang nodded.

Seeing him nod, Wan Shitong became a bit anxious: "Boss, you still have to help the village chief clear the poison these two days, how can you not sleep! It's just dawn now, you hurry up and take a nap, I'll help you with whatever needs to be done."

Just as Wan Shitong was about to get his hands on it, Chen Ang stopped him vigilantly.

"Don't move, we'll know the answer soon."

Hearing his words, Wan Shitong didn't dare to move around and waited quietly on the side.

Disturbed by his noise just now, Huang Yu and the others also woke up. Knowing they shouldn't act rashly, none of them dared to speak and stayed quietly where they were.

After about an incense stick of time, a burst of black smoke suddenly rose in the alchemy furnace in front of Chen Ang.

Feeling the aura in the black smoke, Wan Shitong opened his eyes wide instantly, looking at Chen Ang in disbelief. But the moment the black smoke dissipated, a smile appeared on Chen Ang's face.

Looking at his expression, Wan Shitong rubbed his eyes.

"Boss, are you smiling?"

Touching his own face, Chen Ang asked with a smile: "What, is my smile very ugly? It makes you unable to distinguish?"

"No, no, I just didn't expect you to smile. If I didn't feel it wrong, that burst of black smoke just now should be the aura of the devil race, right?"

"Right, you didn't feel it wrong, it is indeed the devil race's."

"Boss, since it's the devil race's, why can you still smile?"

"Why can't I smile? It's just right that it's the devil race's. We've cleared another kind of poison from the devil race, isn't this a good thing?"

Thinking carefully, Wan Shitong felt that what he said made sense.

Although they hadn't been in contact with the devil race for a while, clearing a deadly poison of the devil race in Li Family Village was indeed a good thing.

Leaning to his side, Wan Shitong asked: "Boss, do you think this poison belongs to a devil race member above the Devil King level?"

"Definitely."

Hearing this affirmative answer, Wan Shitong's eyes lit up instantly.

"Great! Devil race members above the Devil King level are already hard to deal with. Now that we've cleared a kind of poison, it means we have more confidence when facing them in the future. Boss, you are too amazing!"

Hearing his flattery, Chen Ang was somewhat between laughter and tears.

It could be considered a coincidence that they encountered this poison, how could he be so excited?

At this time, Huang Yu said with a smile on the side: "Chen Ang, not bad. In this way, our trip to Li Family Village can be considered not in vain. At the very least, there is some gain."

"There is gain, but the devil race has been here, and I don't know if they have taken the things away."

"It wasn't the Devil Emperor who came, so they shouldn't have taken it, right?"

Thinking for a while, Chen Ang shook his head: "I don't know. We haven't entered the mountain yet, so no one can tell what the situation is. Let's wait until the village chief's poison is cleared. You help me tidy up the things here, I'll take a nap. Call me when the sky is bright, and we'll go to the village chief's place again."

Knowing that he was tired after staying up all night, Wan Shitong hurriedly patted his chest.

"Boss, go to sleep with peace of mind. Leave the things here to me, I guarantee to tidy it up cleanly for you."

"Okay, then I'll trouble you. Remember, you must call me when the sky is bright, don't delay the serious business."

Arriving at the village chief's house again, everyone's mood relaxed a bit.

As soon as they entered the door, Huang Yu consciously went to boil the medicine.

Taking out the row of silver needles, Chen Ang asked the village chief to lie on the bed.

Seeing his swallowing action, Chen Ang couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"Don't be nervous, my technique is very good, it won't be too painful when the needle is inserted."

Hearing his words, the village chief nodded nervously: "Okay, I trust you, come on."

Although he said so, his hands were tightly gripping the bed sheet, obviously still very nervous.

Seeing all this, Chen Ang just smiled and didn't speak, gently inserting the silver needles.

When a few silver needles were inserted, the village chief's expression finally relaxed.

"Chen Ang, your technique is really good. I thought it would be very painful, but I didn't expect it to be like a mosquito bite."

"I told you earlier that my technique is good, you were just scared by this needle."

After the two joked for a few sentences, Chen Ang returned to a serious expression.

After the entire row of silver needles was inserted, he began to look carefully at the color on the silver needles.

Seeing that a few silver needles had turned black again, he couldn't help but sigh softly.

Hearing his sigh, the village chief's heart was in his throat again.

"Why did you sigh suddenly? Is this poison of mine hard to clear?"

"It's not very hard, it's just a bit time-consuming."

Thinking carefully, the village chief understood what he meant.

After pondering repeatedly, he said: "Chen Ang, my treatment every day doesn't take long. You go up the mountain after you help me with the treatment."

As soon as he said this, Wan Shitong's eyes lit up instantly.

"Village chief, are you serious? You agree to let us go up the mountain?"

"Yes, you go later. Otherwise, you only work for a while every day and wait in the ancestral hall the rest of the time, which is too wasteful. Now that I believe in your character, there's no need to stop you. Go if you should go. After you leave my door, walk east. After seeing a particularly thick tree, turn west. Just follow that road straight."

Hearing him take the initiative to give the location, Chen Ang thanked him softly.

"Don't be polite with me. If I want to thank you, I should thank you. If it weren't for your help, I'm afraid I wouldn't have lasted a few more years."

He had been poisoned for several years, and the poison had flared up very frequently in the past year. If he hadn't met Chen Ang, he really felt that his life would not be long, so he wanted to do his best to maintain this village, so as not to make life difficult for everyone after he died. But now that he had met Chen Ang, his hope of living was greater.

Thinking of this, the village chief looked at Chen Ang and said: "I really thank you very much. If you encounter any trouble here, just say it. If I can help, I will definitely not ignore it."

Hearing these words, Chen Ang showed a hint of gratitude in his eyes.

"Village chief, I appreciate your kindness, but let's do things according to the rules. Let's not change what we have already discussed, otherwise, it will cause you trouble."

Knowing that Chen Ang was thinking for him, the village chief said seriously: "Chen Ang, I'm not afraid of trouble. I only know that a drop of kindness should be repaid with a fountain. You have kindness to me, and it is only right for me to repay you. So you don't have to be polite with me. If you have anything, just speak up. You don't need to worry about anything else, I'm here."

Understanding what he meant, Chen Ang didn't argue anymore, just nodded gently, not knowing exactly what he was thinking in his heart.

After coming out of the village chief's house, Chen Ang and the others went up the mountain according to the road he indicated.

On this road, they met many people, but no one asked them where they were going, just greeted them with a smile.

Feeling everyone's kindness, Wan Shitong said on the side: "Boss, I thought everyone in Li Family Village was a bad person before. I didn't expect it to be my misunderstanding. They only have malice toward bad people and only kindness toward good people."

Hearing his words, Chen Ang laughed out loud.

"You're right, they just distinguish between people. If you are good, they are good; if you are bad, they are bad. It's human nature."

After speaking, Chen Ang raised his hand and pointed to a small path.

"We'll take this way. After entering the small path, everyone be vigilant. Not only should you feel the external aura, but you should also protect yourself well."

Looking at that small path, everyone nodded and immediately became cautious.

When stepping into the small path, the surrounding aura began to change.

When mobilizing his dantian Qi, Chen Ang took out a fiery red flower from his pouch.

Seeing that red flower, Huang Yu was a bit puzzled.

"Chen Ang, what are you using this flower for?"

"To deal with the devil race."

As soon as his voice fell, Wan Shitong pulled Huang Yu and explained the power of the fiery red flower to him endlessly.

The two of them chatted together, so Chen Ang didn't say anything more and just walked quietly in front all the way.

I don't know how long they walked, but he suddenly stopped in his tracks.

Looking up, he turned the fiery red flower again.

At this time, a flame rose from his hand, and the direction of the flame was facing the place he had just looked at.

Looking at the swaying flame, Chen Ang couldn't help but frown.

Sensing that something was wrong, Wan Shitong stepped forward cautiously.

"Boss, what's wrong? Is there anything strange about this place?"

Pursing his lips, he said softly: "There's nothing strange, it's just that the guidance of the flame makes me feel a bit strange."

"The guidance of the flame is strange? Is the aura wrong?"

"The aura is right, but there is no road here."

Hearing his words, everyone took a look in the direction guided by the flame.

Just as Chen Ang said, there was no road in the direction pointed by the flame, and there were many weeds there. Because they were growing wildly, the grass was almost as tall as a person, and even the shortest could reach a person's waist. If they went up from there, I'm afraid it wouldn't be easy to walk.
