Jiao Yu shook his head, and General Ling went over to sniff it and lick it: "It seems to be a mineral."
He Lingchuan took one look at it and realized that this guy was really not afraid of being poisoned.
General Ling seemed to see his doubts and replied: "The toxicity of rock, soil, metals and herbs is not very effective against us."
Good guy, the wind drill beast is very talented. He Lingchuan used the tip of the knife to pick it up and picked out a lot of powder.
Red...stone powder? The color is like pig liver red.
Seem to have seen it somewhere?
He called Zhao Dazui over and asked, "What is this?"
Zhao Dazui also looked confused.
Isn't it normal for some miscellaneous minerals to grow in this kind of nest hole?
He Lingchuan then took out a small bottle from his arms, poured out a little mixture of mud and red powder, and said to Jiao Yu: "Smell this powder."
Fortunately, Jiao Yu didn't know where these things came from, so he came over to smell them carefully and nodded: "It's the same kind as the ones you scraped off the stone. Where did you get them?"
"As soon as we entered the Chiyan Kingdom, Fu Shanyue and I killed a sheep thief. He had this kind of powder on his body."
Jiao Yu understood: "Has he been around here?"
"It's very possible." He Lingchuan scraped more powder from the stone and collected it: "Let's find out first what this is when we go back."
He felt at ease.
After so many days, I finally got some useful clues.
At this moment, the cry of the blue sheep came down along the cracks in the ground.
Having been with this spirit knight for a long time, He Lingchuan could also distinguish its emotions, and now he noticed that its screams were full of panic.
"No, there's something going on above!"
The soul-capturing mirror automatically translated for him: "Come up quickly! There is something down there, right behind you!"
He Lingchuan suddenly felt the hairs on his back stand up.
The murderer actually knew they were here?
Of course Zhao Dazui couldn't hear what the soul-capturing mirror said, but he was also surprised: "I, let's go back quickly!" He turned around and left.
Jiao Yu and General Ling were about to follow, but He Lingchuan shook his head: "Why sacrifice the near for the far?"
Even the skylight can shine down from above, and there is only a gap between them and the ground.
It's just that this crack in the ground is very narrow, and most of it was crushed by huge rocks.
He Lingchuan prepared a sledgehammer for today's trip. He took it out from the storage ring and tried to hit it twice. A pile of rocks fell from the top, almost knocking him out.
Zhao Dazui couldn't help but said: "Sir, you can't get out from here."
It's not that he was gloating about his misfortune, this gentleman really had no common sense. Above were large and small rocks that collapsed from a high place. They were digging underneath and were easily crushed to death.
These pampered people are not as discerning as a digger!
However, the space above it has become larger.
While he was speaking, He Lingchuan threw a palm-sized doll towards the rock pile.
With a soft "bang" sound, the doll turned into a giant one foot tall.
The Bronze Man in Golden Armor appears.
Of course, it can only hunched over here, and its posture is exactly the same as when He Lingchuan first entered the nest.
Under the command of its owner, it started a desperate digging mode, regardless of the rocks falling from above.
If it is only slightly injured on the outside, it will heal itself quickly.
Midway, He Lingchuan also controlled it to avoid two boulders riding on the face.
There was a loud banging sound, and the falling stones and dust almost dyed it gray-white, but the skylight shining into the nest hole suddenly became brighter.
Digging through!
"Go up." He Lingchuan took off, put his toes on the shoulders of the bronze man in gold armor, then passed through a big hole and went straight to the ground.
The tiger and the wind beast follow the same pattern.
Zhao Dazui was dumbfounded and had to climb up carefully.
He Lingchuan didn't stop after landing and quickly ran towards the blue sheep.
However, I saw this spiritual beast finding a crack in the ground and pulling quickly with its hooves, as if trying to dig out a hole.
But the gap was too small and it couldn't get in, so it started to bleat anxiously.
"what's the situation?"
Translation of Soul Capturing Mirror: "There is something underneath, which is probably the source of the fishy smell."
Yes, when the blue sheep were attacked last time, they probably smelled the murderer.
He Lingchuan took a closer look at the crack in the ground and found that there was indeed something squirming inside, and there was even a little dark brown reflection.
Well, it's actually here!
He Lingchuan took out the sledgehammer and punched it hard into both arms, hitting it hard three times!
Faced with the storm-like attack, the rock shell burst in response.
He first threw a bunch of fluorescent grass down to explore the environment before jumping in.
Something slipped into another nest hole.
He Lingchuan rushed over in one stride.
However, the thing had sunk down into the stone ground, leaving only the tip of its tail still outside.
General Ling rushed past him, as fast as a gust of wind.
It also saw the tip of its tail, and without hesitation lowered its head, raised it, and picked it up!
The Wind-Drilling Beast swings its head with great force, even a giant rhinoceros can easily pick it up and throw it out. The thing from the ground was indeed picked up to a long length, but the whole thing did not appear.
"Click", the long tail landed on the ground and twisted around on its own, but it was not connected to the body.
It actually has the ability to survive by cutting off its tail like a gecko!
He Lingchuan glanced at General Ling subconsciously.
The speed at which this old sheep just rushed over was ridiculously fast, like a javelin being thrown towards the target, and it seemed to dodge instantly. Coupled with the pair of sharp horns, it was really a sneak attack weapon on the battlefield.
In fact, this is the talent of the Wind-Drilling Beast, which is called "collision". Once it locks on a target within eight feet, it can reach it almost instantly - of course, provided there are no obstacles in the way.
If this was their first encounter, He Lingchuan thought that he might not be able to escape.
Monsters are not like humans. They don't need too complicated skills. They just need to practice their talents to perfection. General Ling's "collision" talent has been trained to the third level, that is, he can collide three times in a row. Each time, the speed and power are higher than the previous one.
Enter.
By the third impact, it was really hard to tell with the naked eye.
…
When Tiger Jiao Yu arrived, both He Lingchuan and General Ling were observing the long tail.
Brown and brown, hairless, all flesh, still wriggling on the ground.
Jiao Yu stretched out his paw to pull at it, then quickly retracted it: "There is mucus!"
"This is what I just cut off from that thing." He Lingchuan said, "It should be the tip of the tail."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! There are still two holes on the tip of the tail, which were pierced by General Antelope's horns.
"Why is there no blood?"
"Yes, it's just mixed in the mucus." He Lingchuan said thoughtfully, "It's like cutting an earthworm into several pieces."
"Is this an earthworm?"
He Lingchuan shook his head: "I saw reflections 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 monster?"
"It's quite similar." He Lingchuan put away the trophy, "But what does it have to do with the dead sheep thief?"
No one has an answer to this question.
He Lingchuan traced back the traces of mucus on the ground and found that the monster was traveling in the direction of the Pig Demon's den, which was the direction where they had been before.
"This thing is coming for us." He said coldly, "It wants to ambush us."
As a result, he was called out by the blue sheep. Seeing that the opportunity was lost, the other party ran away.
Jiao Yu hesitated: "Is it possible that we just met by chance?"
"Judging from Wang Mazi's description, this thing's attack method is to ambush on rainy nights and wait for prey to come. The night my mount was attacked, it also rained heavily." He Lingchuan pondered, "Today is a sunny day.
, the ground here is quite dry, which is not in line with its usual routine. Therefore, it is most likely that it came to us specifically."
General Ling sneered: "Let it come! I will teach it that there will be no return!"
Jiao Yu said seriously: "No, it must have something to back it up if it dares to come here."
One man and one tiger returned to the ground, and the blue sheep came up to meet him, lowering their heads and gently pushing against He Lingchuan.
"Thank you very much." He Lingchuan stroked its big curved horns and thanked him sincerely. "I'm afraid this monster has already laid an ambush underground and is just waiting for us to return the way we came, only to be hit by you."
Although Jiao Yu has Yuan power, He Lingchuan is not so confident that he will not be attacked. This monster has repeatedly committed crimes everywhere, so there must be something extraordinary. Don't mention anything else, these hundreds of pig monsters
Is it so easy to deal with?
It was He Lingchuan himself who faced a hundred angry pig demons. If he didn't use any tricks and had no numerical advantage, he would only be able to jump like a mouse with his head in his arms.
They chased the murderer by themselves, but in the end, the murderer set an ambush on the road they must pass and waited for them to fall into the trap in the best way. This is very scary when you think about it.
What a risk, they almost fell into each other's scheme. This risk really came without any warning.
The blue sheep rubbed his hand, meaning you're welcome.
The wind-drilling beasts originally looked down on it, thinking that the blue sheep was too weak and could only be used as a mount for humans, but now they came up and bumped their heads with it to show their gratitude.
At this time, Zhao Dazui finally climbed up and rushed over panting: "What happened?"
"The killer plans to ambush us."
"ah?!"
He Lingchuan ignored him and went to take back the bronze man in golden armor: "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 Hao Zhu's Nest. Either that was its habitat, or it came here specially to ambush the prince's envoy.
Considering that the pig's nest is relatively dry, and that creature should prefer a damp and humid living environment, one person, one tiger and one goat all believe that the latter is more likely.
Then the next question comes.
How did the other party know that they would go to Hao Zhu Nest today?
If they weren't following them all the way, someone would have leaked the whereabouts of the Crown Prince's envoy.
The only people who knew about He Lingchuan's schedule today were the few people at last night's banquet.
If you check them one by one, you will always find something.
The investigation finally made progress, Jiao Yu was a little eager to try, and the whip-like tiger tail made the carriage crackle.
Case investigation is actually a tedious job. The clues either don't match or are interrupted. Especially finding the reason for the disappearance of a bird is like looking for a needle in a haystack.
