"My lords, what I said is true. That person comes and goes like the wind. It took a lot of effort for my thin dog to track the person who appeared near here yesterday."
"That's it, the little one has already killed several good hounds."
In front of a village in the mountains, a lean man was talking to the people in front of him with a low eyebrow.
And these people looked at the two dead thin dogs on the ground and frowned.
This group of people was none other than Song Mu and others. A few days ago, Song Mu and Fan Zhengxiong agreed to capture this criminal as soon as possible, so they gathered a group of soldiers and set out to catch him, but they only found this broken clue in the countryside.
Yesterday, the villain appeared in the surrounding mountains and forests twenty miles away, but there was no trace of him again.
Song Mu glanced at the dog corpse below with a serious expression. At this moment, there was a hint of demonic energy surrounding the thin dog.
That kind of thing that is completely incompatible with literary energy, Song Mu can clearly feel it as long as he uses his literary power a little bit.
"Master Song, what should we do next?"
At this moment, one of the arresters looked at Song Mu with a worried look on his face.
The hunter just said that his two hounds died in the east and west woods, and were brutally murdered almost at the same time.
This is consistent with the news that everyone has received before, that the person can even appear in two places at the same time, and sometimes he can suddenly cross hundreds of miles and appear in another place in Jizhou Prefecture.
This can't help but make everyone feel that there is no conclusion to this case, and that everything they do next will be in vain.
But Song Mu didn't think so. If it were him, he could probably do this kind of method, but in this way, this guy's Jinshi strength is definitely not low.
Song Mu immediately looked at the people around him. At this moment, he was thinking more about the people in front of him and whether other changes would occur.
After a while, Song Mu looked up and looked around. Seeing that the sky was still bright, he said to the head catcher.
"Where are we roughly now?"
The other party immediately took out the map and compared it carefully. Song Mu saw several villages dozens of miles around. At this moment, everyone looked at Song Mu. Song Mu stretched out his hand and pointed to the distance to the east.
of a village.
"Sir, it's more than a hundred miles away from here, and there are so many villages in between. How could that guy..."
"Now we have already alerted the snake. If this guy doesn't want to be entangled by us right away, he must go far away. But he is reluctant to leave Jizhou Prefecture, and he wants to avoid our pursuit, so he mostly goes to the mountains and forests.
.”
"The terrain of these nearby villages is flat, so this person will definitely not choose it. We will directly bypass a few villages. If we come up empty by then, we will shrink back in."
Hearing Song Mu's words, everyone's expressions also perked up. Although this method is a bit unbelievable, it is not without possibility of use, and in this way, it can also solve the current dilemma of chasing all the way.
Song Mu made some arrangements with everyone. The two Jinshi officials led the people through the mountains and forests, while the soldiers went to the official road and rushed directly into the distance.
Song Mu took Li Dong and the head catcher and chased after him according to the remaining demonic energy.
So on the second day, everyone hurried to the village.
However, it was peaceful here. The scholar guarding the village said that nothing happened here. Song Mu could not feel any fluctuations of demonic energy here, and he couldn't help but frown.
It was getting late, so everyone had to rest in this village. Early the next morning, Song Mu arranged for everyone to set off again.
The goal this time is to search the surrounding villages.
Song Mu was still sure that the guy couldn't go far, and for this operation, Song Mu had mobilized many people around him. At this moment, there was no attack in Jizhou Prefecture, so Song Mu had to search for it no matter what.
So everyone went up the mountain again, this time the troops split up and headed towards several surrounding villages. If anything happened during the process, they would communicate through fireworks signals.
After Song Mu arranged these things, he followed him up the mountain. Now walking through the dense forest, Song Mu used his mind power to scan the surroundings. He didn't notice anything strange, but he said something to Li Dong next to him.
"Your Highness, I have told you the situation in the past few days. If you don't listen to the advice this time, Mr. Song will send you back to the palace immediately."
Song Mu suddenly threatened Li Dong next to him. After hearing this, Li Dong's expression changed slightly and he nodded coquettishly.
A few days ago at the Jizhou government office, Song Mu advocated that the other party stay in the city, and Magistrate Fan also strongly agreed, but Li Dong insisted on going his own way.
Even in order to persuade Song Mu to take him with him, Li Dong actually used the airs of King Qi and said how Song Mu didn't believe in his strength and did not back down at all, which caused Song Mu a headache.
Although Li Dong got what he wanted, the situation has changed a lot at this moment. Song Mu did not dare to ignore it, so he spoke out here.
After giving Li Dong a few more words, Song Mu then led everyone to continue exploring into the mountain.
But at the end of the morning, everyone found nothing.
This made everyone feel quite discouraged, and some even thought that the guy might have fled to other places, or even far outside Jizhou Prefecture.
It was noon and everyone was taking a rest in the mountains.
Song Mu sat next to Li Dong and ate, thinking about whether there was any problem with any of these things.
Suddenly Song Mu raised his head and looked to one side, and at this time someone next to him shouted.
"who!"
The sound of barking dogs and people suddenly sounded, and several policemen rushed into the dense forest, and soon pushed a middle-aged man out.
The man was thin and wearing linen clothes. He looked like a local villager.
Song Mu then motioned to the head catcher to come forward and ask questions.
"Where are you from?"
"The smaller one is from Qingshui Village in front of me."
"What are you doing here today?"
"My little one usually does some work selling charcoal, but this time he came to the mountains to chop firewood."
The man said tremblingly, and everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that the other man was carrying a hatchet and there were many black marks left by charcoal powder on his clothes.
"Then you can see something strange in this mountain today."
After hearing this, the man looked at everyone, then shook his head and said.
"Except for meeting all your lords, I haven't seen anything else."
The expressions of everyone who heard this did not change at all, but Song Mu still stepped forward and asked the catcher to test the other party.
When identifying the other party's identity, the woodcutter seemed to be very weak. He cut a cut with his finger for quite some time before finally squeezing out a drop of blood.
Song Mu was also surprised, but when he saw that there was no movement on the crystal, he could only give up.
After telling the woodcutter to go back early, everyone was preparing to continue discussing the next countermeasures.
But at this moment, a scream suddenly came from the sky.
The voice was so sharp that everyone looked up in shock.
And a firework suddenly burst out in the sky.
"Look there, that's our signal!"
"Something happened ahead?"
Everyone's expressions changed, but Song Mu asked everyone.
"Is that Qingshui Village ahead?"
The catcher hurriedly came forward to speak.
"Yes, this is the Qingshui Village we are going to. Sir, something must have happened?"
After hearing these words, everyone felt a sudden strong wind coming from around them, and the next moment they saw Song Mu's figure disappearing.
A long rainbow in the sky immediately headed in that direction.
Everyone exclaimed in surprise, but also shouted to follow.
Soon Song Mu had landed in the mountain village.
But at this moment, the village was in ruins, with corpses of people everywhere.
Such a terrifying scene makes people feel numb immediately.
Song Mu, however, immediately turned away his telekinesis and swept around, but found nothing.
The adult who arrived first had already stepped forward, but suddenly saw Song Mu's expression suddenly change, and then he exclaimed in surprise towards everyone.
"No, that woodcutter is evil!"
With that said, Song Mu's figure rushed out again like an arrow from a string.
