That subtle yet penetrating sinister laughter is so real.
When he closed his eyes and went back to sleep, Cao Su could still feel something strange.
He opened his eyes, pushed the door open, and walked to the lake.
When we arrived at the lake, the laughter in our ears became even stronger.
There was a wave of excitement and impulse in his heart, as if there was something particularly attractive beneath the water, calling him, seducing him.
"Cao!"
Cao Su cursed and suddenly woke up.
Purple light flashed in his eyes, and a stream of black smoke floated out from his face.
Only a faint scream was heard, and the thing in the black smoke disappeared in an instant.
Looking again, there was no sound everywhere in the dark night.
I could only hear the sound of the surging lake water, the water plants on the shore were floating, and the moonlight was reflected on the lake.
Cao Su was frightened and sweated, although there was a high probability that nothing would happen if he jumped into the lake.
But it's definitely quite embarrassing.
I came to the lake without knowing it. What kind of evil is this?
He was a little angry, and the soul-catching boy kept running to make sure that all the dirty things on his body were gone.
It was slightly cool by the lake, and after getting out of this stall, I was no longer in the mood to sleep.
He simply sat down by the lake, closed his eyes and adjusted his breathing.
It didn't take long for the sky to get bright.
There is a white fish belly in the distance, and the faint glow breaks through the blue night sky.
Cao Su sat quietly by the lake, breathing in the morning air mixed with the fragrance of earth and water vapor, and his whole spirit was shaken.
The internal energy in the body started a new round of operation.
Cultivation is gradual, but his practice can be based on a long-term and uninterrupted basis.
Lijing Jingyi can be called a great tonic pill, which made him practice much faster than ordinary people.
From the sixth grade to the fifth grade, it is the same progress.
After decades of ordinary people's hard work, he has achieved remarkable results in just a few months, and his internal energy has become very pure and profound.
From the fifth grade to the fourth grade, you still need to go through a period of practice.
Cao Su has not used up the large amount of essence gained from the last battle at Lushan.
When this wave is used up, you should be able to break through to the peak of the fifth level, or it may also be possible to directly rush into the fourth level.
If you want to further strengthen your breakthrough, you have to pick up holes or kill people.
"The Dark Wind Cave seems like a good place, but it's short of points right now."
"The Imperial College is quite comfortable, so you should be able to go and find something."
"The Forbidden Army is the most useless. It only retains part of my military power."
Cao Su thought about it carefully and found that he didn't have many places to practice, only a place to study and a place to fight.
Facing the rising sun and looking into the distance, my thoughts suddenly became much clearer.
Just as he was about to stand up, a voice suddenly came from behind.
"So you are sitting here, and I have been looking for you for a long time."
Cao Su turned around and took a look.
Qianhu Li Chengren was slightly shocked.
It was as if he saw a lone wolf staring at him with cold eyes.
He was slightly dazed, but he saw Cao Su standing up with a smile and saluting him: "Li Qianhu, you are polite."
Li Chengren threw away the messy thoughts in his mind and said to Cao Su: "Cao Baihu, there is a man in Shendu Mansion who needs you to do something."
Eucalyptus from Shendu Prefecture?
Cao Su was startled and subconsciously thought of the drowned corpse he saw yesterday.
He quickly asked: "Li Qianhu, what happened?"
Li Chengren shook his head and said: "I don't know what's going on, but I still have other things on hand that have not been completed, so I can only leave this to you."
"I just heard that several rich young men drowned in the Cao River yesterday."
"The Master of Shendu Mansion suspects that there is something unclean in the Cao River in Shendu, and he hopes we will go and investigate."
"This matter most likely involves demons. In addition to the two little flags under your command, I have also found another helper for you. She should be waiting for you in the Jingyao Division."
Li Chengren took Cao Su away from the lake, explaining as they walked.
In a few words, the overall situation was explained clearly.
Cao Su naturally refused, as this was one of his next tasks.
"After completing this task, you can come back to collect points. The governor in the department will give you points. If you can get an A-level evaluation, you can get extra points on top of the basic points for this task."
Cao Su heard Ding Yan talk about the bonus point rules yesterday.
He asked: "What is the basic score for this task?"
Li Chengren said: "It's 20 points in total. The four of you will share it together."
He only said this. As for the specific allocation, that is a matter for Cao Su's team.
In many teams, the captain gets the high score, and the rest are divided equally.
Cao Su nodded slightly. It was not too low. It should be considered a C-level mission, a little higher than the weakest D-level mission.
Li Chengren is here to release the task.
Then he left the lake, and Cao Su went to Jingyao Division alone.
Inside the company, I saw two Xiaoqi and an assistant.
The two Xiaoqi are Qiu Bai and He Shan, locals from Shendu and Lijing warriors.
The helper was a woman, also wearing a white python suit, but there was a green bamboo embroidered on the cuffs of her white python suit, which was a little different from Cao Su's.
Cao Su was slightly startled. This was indeed the first time he saw a female colleague in the Jingyao Division.
"Cao Baihu."
In the Jing Yao Division, everyone called Cao Su for his position as the Guard Division.
Qiu Bai knew that Cao Su was new and didn't know much about the situation, so he took the initiative to introduce Cao Su: "Cao Baihu, this is Taoist priest Zhou Wei from the Demon Slaying Hall of the Jing Yao Division."
Cao Su, the Demon Slayer Taoist Hall, knew that Ding Yan had mentioned it to him before.
In the Jingyao Division, in addition to many warriors, because they have been dealing with monsters for a long time, the Taoist Palace specially set up a demon-slaying Taoist Hall in the Jingyao Division for the training of its disciples.
Yawenba
The Taoist disciples of the Demon Slayer Taoist Hall are basically at the hundred-household level.
So the white python suit she wore and the bamboo embroidery were part of her personalized display.
Cao Su took a closer look and found that Zhou Wei looked quite good-looking.
He is tall and slender, with beautiful facial features and green hair draped over his body like a waterfall. He is holding an unsheathed long sword in his hand, and he looks very murderous.
Cao Su nodded to her, and the two of them greeted her.
Then they left Jingyao Division together and went straight to the departure location provided by Shendu Mansion.
"Cao Baihu, this matter is by no means an ordinary incident. Several wealthy young men fell into the river and drowned at the same time in the city of God. There must be something fishy."
Zhou Wei was cold-tempered and didn't speak a word along the way.
Xiao Qi Qiu Bai is an extrovert and has been introducing the situation to Cao Su.
Cao Su nodded "hmm" without too many personal opinions.
Another Xiaoqi Heshan didn't talk much, but he was quite tall and was no less generous than Cao Su.
A few people hurried on their way, and when the people on the street saw a few guardsmen wearing white python uniforms, no one dared to stop them, and they all moved out of the way.
Even if they don't get out of the way, the speed of several people is also very fast.
After walking a few steps, Cao Su tiptoed a little, flew up from the street, landed on the top of a house, and looked into the distance.
I saw millions of houses standing in the entire city of God, and it was impossible to see how far away they were from the discovery site.
"Many places in the city of God are prohibited from flying. They think this is against the rules. Some big families specially arrange for warriors from the power realm to keep an eye on them around the clock. Anyone who dares to fly over their houses will be attacked by the warriors."
"According to the laws of Shendu, anyone who innocently breaks into someone else's home can be killed on the spot."
Therefore, Cao Su saw very few people walking on the roofs of houses like he did in Pingcheng and Yincheng. Everyone was still very restrained and did not use Qinggong.
At most, it was like Cao Su, who spotted a house and went up to check the distance.
Then it floats down again. If it passes through some rivers, walls or other obstacles, Cao Su and others can directly use Qinggong to cross it.
Soon, the four of them came to a place beside the Cao River.
Marquis Wu has already cordoned off the scene here, and the guards of the Shendu Mansion are squatting next to the corpse, puzzled.
Cao Su took a look and saw that it was not the arresters he met yesterday, but several other arresters.
After they saw the white python robe, they all breathed a sigh of relief and found their backbone.
"I have met all the Lords of the Department of Archguards."
No matter how many divisions the Arch Guard Department is divided into, in the eyes of the outside world, they only have one division.
Jingyao Division is one of the Archguard Divisions, so there is nothing wrong with calling it that way.
Cao Su stood in the center and took the lead to the shore.
It was another shore, and it was still the same corpse as the one I saw yesterday. The corpse was lying on its back, drowned.
Cao Su knelt down and took a closer look.
The corpse actually shone a little under the early morning sunlight.
"Fish scales?"
Cao Su turned over the corpse's head and found several fish scales on the deceased's neck. The fish scales seemed to be inlaid with the skin of his neck.
Zhou Wei also came to his side, her face slightly solemn.
Suddenly, she shouted: "Be careful!"
Before Cao Su noticed anything, Zhou Wei had already exhaled a breath of white air.
This white air was as thin as a line and penetrated the air in front of Cao Su in the blink of an eye.
"ah!!"
A scream emerged from nowhere.
Cao Su was filled with inner energy, his energy and blood were circulating all over his body, and evil energy was pouring out like a tide. The people around him couldn't help but take a few steps back.
They couldn't help but look shocked.
Cao Baihu's evil spirit...
Zhou Wei was also very surprised. She resisted the pressure and reached out to stop Cao Su.
"Cao Baihu, calm down, the evil spirits have been destroyed by me using Taoism."
Cao Su frowned, is it so weird?
At this moment, several more noises came from the distance.
Several officers ran over in a hurry, exclaiming in low voices.
