Muscle is Strength - Chapter24

As Xu Yan approached the village, the village's scenery began to change.

The dilapidated village seemed to have been turned back in time. The lush weeds gradually disappeared and the collapsed houses were rebuilt. In the blink of an eye, the dilapidated village became a complete village.

It was as if everything that happened just now was Xu Yan's illusion.

Xu Yan sneered and continued to walk forward.

The moment he stepped into the village, Xu Yan suddenly froze as if he had forgotten something.

Oh right, what am I doing here?

Xu Yan felt as if he was missing something. He subconsciously activated the Spiritium in his body. Under the protection of the Spiritium, Xu Yan regained his memory.

Xu Yan's eyes flashed with golden light. This was a phenomenon that appeared when the Spiritium covered his eyes.

Under the golden eyes, the village turned back to the dilapidated village. The amiable villagers on the road also turned into terrifying monsters!

It seemed that the Spiritium had many uses. Not only was it stronger than internal energy, it also had other auxiliary uses.

Xu Yan continued to walk forward calmly. He decided to find Zhao Gongming first.

The village wasn't big. It didn't take long for Xu Yan to see the statue in the center of the village.

In the eyes of ordinary people, this was just an ordinary statue. However, in Xu Yan's eyes that were filled with Spiritium, this was a powerful monster!

The freak watched as Xu Yan slowly walked over with a mocking look in his eyes.

When he reached the edge of the square, Xu Yan stopped and didn't walk into the square.

Turning his head to look around, Xu Yan saw Zhao Gongming with a smile on his face.

Zhao Gongming was talking to two monsters of unknown species. He was laughing as he talked, as if he was talking about something interesting.

Xu Yan walked toward Zhao Gongming. When he got closer, Xu Yan heard what Zhao Gongming was talking about.

It turned out that Zhao Gongming treated these two monsters as his parents and was telling them about his experiences over the past few years!

Xu Yan was speechless. You treated them as your parents, but they didn't treat you as their son!

The two of them are drooling all over the floor when they see you!

However, Zhao Gongming could not be blamed. After all, he was just an ordinary esper. He was not even an Earth-rank esper. How could he withstand an illusion that could confuse even a Heaven-rank esper?

If Xu Yan did not have the Spiritual Vigor to protect himself, Xu Yan would probably be in the same state as Zhao Gongming.

Walking behind Zhao Gongming, Xu Yan ignored the two monsters that were drooling and patted Zhao Gongming's shoulder.

Zhao Gongming was stunned. He turned around and found it was Xu Yan. He immediately stood up and said happily, "Xu Yan!

Why are you here? "

"Weren't you the one who called me over the phone just now?" Xu Yan pretended to be puzzled.

Zhao Gongming slapped his forehead and said, "Look at my memory, I forgot. I must have been too excited to see my parents just now!"

"Forget it, let's not talk about this."

Zhao Gongming pulled Xu Yan to his side and pointed at the two monsters in front of him. "Let me introduce you. These two are my parents!"

Then, he pointed at Xu Yan and introduced him to the two monsters. "Dad, mom!

This is the Xu Yan that I mentioned to you before!

Although he is young, his strength has already reached Heaven-rank. He has a bright future ahead of him! "

"Hello, uncle and auntie!" Xu Yan said politely.

The two monsters did not react to Xu Yan's words. They only stared at Xu Yan and Zhao Gongming while drooling.

"Brother Gongming, come with me. I have something to tell you," Xu Yan said as he pulled Zhao Gongming out.

Zhao Gongming was puzzled. "What is it? You can say it here. My parents are not outsiders."

"It's work-related. Are you sure you want to talk about it here?" Xu Yan turned his head and asked.

"Something about work?

Alright then. "

Zhao Gongming followed Xu Yan forward and turned his head to the two monsters behind him. "Dad, Mom, please wait for a while. After we are done talking about work-related matters, I will come and accompany you!"

After walking out of the courtyard and finding a quiet place, Xu Yan asked, "Brother Gongming, do you still remember why we came to this village?"

"Of course, it's to eliminate the monsters that are endangering the village!" Zhao Gongming replied strangely. "Didn't you ask me this question once?"

"When we came, didn't you say that the whole village was harmed by the monsters?

Why are they all here now? "Xu Yan continued to ask.

"I guessed that they were all killed. I didn't expect them to escape from such a powerful monster!"

"Since they could escape, why didn't they contact you for so long?

Why did you meet them as soon as you arrived? "

"That's because they thought I was killed by the monsters. That's why they didn't contact me!"

Looking at Zhao Gongming's flawless explanation, Xu Yan felt a chill run down his spine!

This monster's illusion was too powerful. It could actually fool a person to such an extent!

He didn't react to such a strange thing at all. Instead, he felt that it was natural!

If Xu Yan didn't have the spiritual vigor to protect his body and not be affected by the illusion, he would probably be in the same situation as Zhao Gongming!

Since he couldn't explain it here, he could only take Zhao Gongming out first. Otherwise, he might not be able to protect him when he fought with the monsters later.

"Brother Gongming, do you still remember your bag?" Xu Yan asked.

"Bag?

By the way, my bag is still next to your pavilion. Did you bring it over for me? "With Xu Yan's reminder, Zhao Gongming remembered the bag.

"I forgot about it too. Let's go get it together. We can walk around the village and see what changes have happened in the village after so many years." With that, Xu Yan and Zhao Gongming walked out of the village together.

"That's true. I haven't been back to this village for a long time. I can see what changes have happened in the village in the past few years," Zhao Gongming said with a smile as he looked around.

After taking a few steps with Xu Yan, Zhao Gongming suddenly stared at a yellow windmill on the wall next to him. His whole body was trembling. "Why do I feel that this village is exactly the same as in my memory?"

"That windmill was specially placed on the wall on the day I went out to herd the cows to prevent it from being bitten by the puppy at home. Why is it still on the wall after so many years? Even the color is exactly the same!"

Zhao Gongming suddenly turned around and took a few steps back. He looked at the kennel in front of his house. A black puppy that was a few months old was inside.

Looking at the black puppy, Zhao Gongming seemed to be struck by lightning.

"How is that possible?

How is that possible?

This puppy is exactly the same as in my memory!

How is that possible?

How can a puppy not grow up? "

"My head!

My head hurts! "Zhao Gongming hugged his head and rolled on the ground.
