After the Fairy Disappeared

  Chapter 460 You chase me and run away

  Jiao Yu shook his head, and General Ling went over to sniff it, and even licked it: "It seems to be a mineral."

  He Lingchuan took a look at it, this product is really not afraid of being poisoned.

  General Ling seemed to see his doubts, and replied: "The toxicity of rock soil, metal, and medicinal herbs is not very effective for us."

  Good guy, the wind drill beast is very talented. He Lingchuan used the tip of his knife to dig out a lot of powder.

  Red... stone powder? The color is like pig liver red.

   I seem to have seen it somewhere?

  He called Zhao Dazui over and asked, "What is this?"

  Zhao Dazui also looked blank.

  Isn’t it normal for some miscellaneous ore to grow in this kind of nest hole?

  He Lingchuan then took out a small bottle from his bosom, poured out a mixture of mud and red powder, and said to Jiaoyu, "Take a sniff of this powder."

   Fortunately, Jiao Yu didn't know where these things came from, so he leaned over and sniffed them seriously, and nodded, "It's the same kind as the one you scraped off the stone. Where did you get it?"

   "As soon as we entered Chiyan State, Fu Shanyue and I killed a sheep thief. He had this powder on him."

  Jiao Yu understood: "Has he been around here?"

   "Very likely." He Lingchuan scraped more powder from the stone and collected it: "Go back and find out what it is."

  He was at ease.

   After so many days, I finally got some usable clues.

  At this moment, the cry of blue sheep 咴咴咴 came down the cracks in the ground.

  Having been with this spirit horse for a long time, He Lingchuan could also distinguish its emotions, and at this moment, he noticed that its cry was full of panic.

   "Not good, there is a situation above!"

  The soul-absorbing mirror automatically translated for him: "Come up quickly! There is something underneath, right behind you!"

  He Lingchuan suddenly felt the hairs on his back stand on end.

  The killer knew they were here?

  Of course Zhao Dazui couldn't hear what the soul-hunting mirror said, but he was also surprised: "I, let's go back soon!" He turned around and wanted to leave.

  Jiao Yu and General Ling were about to follow up, but He Lingchuan shook his head: "Why bother to look far away?"

  Sky light can shine down from above, and they are only separated from the ground by a ground seam.

   It's just that this ground crack is very narrow, and most of it was collapsed by huge rocks.

  He Lingchuan prepared a sledgehammer for today's trip, and took it out from the storage ring at this time, tried to hit it twice, and a pile of rocks fell from the top, almost making him ashamed.

  Zhao Dazui couldn't help but said: "My lord, you can't get out from here."

   It's not that he is gloating, this lord really has no common sense. Above are rocks of various sizes that have collapsed from high places. They were digging underneath, and they were easily crushed to death.

  These pampered masters are not as good-sighted as a digger!

  However, the space above has become a little bigger.

   While he was speaking, He Lingchuan threw a palm-sized doll towards the rock pile.

   There was a soft "bang", and the doll turned into a giant ten feet tall.

  Bronze man with golden armour.

  Of course, it can only bend over here, its posture is exactly the same as when He Lingchuan first entered the nest.

  Under the master's command, it started a desperate digging mode, regardless of the stones falling from above.

  If it is only slightly injured on the outside, it will heal itself quickly.

  In the middle, He Lingchuan also manipulated it to avoid the boulder riding on the face twice.

   There was a loud bang, and the fallen stones and dust almost stained it grayish white, but the skylight that shone into the nest hole suddenly brightened.

  Dig through!

   "Go up." He Lingchuan jumped up, with his toes on the shoulders of the golden-armored bronze man, he pierced through the big hole and went straight to the ground.

  The tiger and the wind-drilling beast follow the same pattern.

  Zhao Dazui was dumbfounded, so he had to climb up cautiously.

  He Lingchuan didn't stop after landing, and ran towards the blue sheep quickly.

  Seeing that the spirit beast found a crack in the ground, it pulled its hooves quickly, as if it wanted to dig a hole.

   But the slit was too small, and it couldn't get in, so it bleated anxiously.

"what's the situation?"

  Translation of the soul mirror: "There is something underneath, which is probably the source of the fishy smell."

   That's right, the blue sheep was attacked last time, and it is likely that they also smelled the murderer's scent.

  He Lingchuan took a closer look, and found that there was something wriggling inside, and there was even a little dark brown reflection.

   Well, it's actually here!

  He Lingchuan drew out the sledgehammer, pierced both arms with force, and smashed hard three times!

   Facing the storm-like attack, the rock shell broke in response.

  He threw down a bunch of fluorescent grass to explore the environment before jumping in.

   Something slipped into another nest hole.

  He Lingchuan rushed over with a stride.

   But the thing had sunk down into the stony ground, leaving only the tip of its tail sticking out.

   General Ling rushed past him like a gust of wind.

  It also saw the tip of the tail, and bowed its head without hesitation, one push, one pick!

  The power of the drill wind beast to shake its head is so great that even a giant rhino can easily pick it up and throw it away. The thing in the ground was indeed picked out by it for a long section, but the whole thing did not show up.

   "Slap", the long tail landed on the ground and twisted non-stop by itself, but it was not connected to the body.

  It actually has the ability of a gecko to cut off its tail to survive!

  He Lingchuan subconsciously glanced at General Ling.

  The old sheep rushed over at an unreasonably fast speed, like a javelin being thrown at the target, and it seemed to be flashing. Coupled with the pair of sharp horns, it was really a great sneak attack weapon on the battlefield.

  In fact, this is the talent of the Drilling Beast, called "Clash". Once it locks on to a target within eight feet, it can reach it almost instantly—of course, the premise is that there are no obstacles in the way.

  If it was the first time to fight, He Lingchuan thought to himself that he might not be able to avoid it.

  Ghosts are not like human beings, they don't need too complicated skills, they just need to practice their talents to perfection. General Ling's "Clash" talent has been trained to the third level, that is, he can charge three times in a row, and each time his speed and strength are better than the previous one.

   At the third collision, it is really difficult to distinguish with the naked eye.

  …

  When the tiger Jiao Yu arrived, He Lingchuan and General Ling were observing the long tail.

   Brown coffee color, hairless, full of flesh, still writhing on the ground.

  Jiao Yu stretched out his claws to scratch, then quickly retracted: "There is mucus!"

   "I just cut this off from that thing." He Lingchuan said, "It should be the tip of the tail."

   There are two holes on the tip of the tail, which were pierced by General Ling's horns.

   "Why is there no blood?"

   "Yes, it's just mixed in the slime." He Lingchuan thought thoughtfully, "It's like you cut an earthworm into several pieces."

   "Is this an earthworm?"

  He Lingchuan shook his head: "I can see the reflection from the cracks in the ground, the surface should be hard and smooth."

  Jiao Yu looked back and looked at the road: "There is mucus all the way on the ground."

   "It goes all the way and stays all the way."

   "There is mucus when walking, hard skin, hairless soft body..." Jiao Yu thought for a while, and came to the conclusion without much effort, "Could it be that a snail became a demon?"

   "It's pretty similar." He Lingchuan put away the spoils, "But what does it have to do with the dead sheep thief?"

  No one has an answer to this question.

  He Lingchuan traced back along the slime traces on the ground, and found that the direction of the monster's travel was towards the boar demon's lair, that is, where they were before.

   "This thing is coming towards us." He said coldly, "It wants to ambush us."

   As a result, the blue sheep called him out, and the other party saw that the opportunity had been lost and slipped away.

  Jiao Yu hesitated: "Is it possible that we just met by chance?"

"From Wang Mazi's description, the attack method of this thing is to ambush on rainy nights, waiting for the prey to come. The night my mount was attacked, it also rained heavily." He Lingchuan pondered, "Today is a sunny day , and the ground is quite dry, which does not conform to its usual routine. Therefore, it is very likely that it came here specially to find us."

  General Ling sneered: "Let it come! I taught it to come and go!"

  Jiao Yu said seriously: "No, it must have confidence to come here."

   One man and one tiger rushed back to the ground, the blue sheep came up to meet them, lowered their heads and gently pushed He Lingchuan.

   "Thank you very much." He Lingchuan stroked its big curved horn, and thanked it sincerely, "I'm afraid this monster has already ambushed in the ground, and it will be smashed by you when we return the same way."

  Although Jiao Yu had the strength in his body, He Lingchuan didn't trust him enough to think that his side would never be hit. This monster has been successful in committing crimes everywhere, so there must be something special about it. Not to mention, how easy are these hundreds of boar demons to deal with?

  If He Lingchuan was facing a hundred angry boar demons by himself, if he didn't use tricks and didn't have an advantage in numbers, he would only have to scramble.

   Hunt down the murderer by himself, but the murderer instead lays an ambush on the only way, waiting for them to fall into the trap in the best way. It's scary to think about it.

   It's a risk, they almost fell into the opponent's scheme. The risk came without warning.

  The blue sheep rubbed against his hand, meaning you're welcome.

  Drilling wind beasts looked down on it at first, thinking that the blue sheep is too weak and can only be used as a mount for humans, but at this time they also came up and bowed to it to show their gratitude.

  At this time Zhao Dazui finally climbed up, panting and rushed over: "What happened?"

   "The murderer intends to ambush us."

"ah?!"

  He Lingchuan ignored him and went to take back the golden armored bronze figure: "Lead the way. Let's go back to Youtian Town."

  …

  The return trip went smoothly without any twists and turns.

  On the way, He Lingchuan exchanged views with Jiao Yu and General Ling.

  The other party actually appeared in the pig's nest, either there is its habitat, or it came here specially to ambush the special envoy of the prince.

  Considering that the millet pig's nest is relatively dry, and that kind of creature should prefer a damp and rotten habitat, everyone, a tiger and a goat think the latter is more likely.

   Then the next question comes.

  How did the other party know that they would go to the pig's nest today?

   If they were not following them all the way, someone would leak the whereabouts of the special envoy of the prince.

   Knowing He Lingchuan's itinerary for today is nothing more than the few people at the banquet last night.

  Check one by one, there will always be something to gain.

  The investigation finally made progress, Jiao Yu was a little eager to try, and the whip-like tiger tail slapped the carriage.

  Case investigation is actually a dull job. The clues are either missing or interrupted. Especially finding the reason for the disappearance of a bird is like looking for a needle in a haystack.
