Not long after, Mianmu Qinghuo led Guan Heng and his party to the place where it said those black shadows disappeared.
"Huh?" At this moment, King Jiaxiu, who was walking in front, suddenly stopped and turned his head and said, "Master Guan, look here, the soil has traces of recent excavation."
"Let me take a look." As he said that, Guan Heng had already walked to King Jiaxiu.
After leaning over to check, he nodded: "Well, not only are there traces of turning over, but there are also hidden footprints. It seems that the other party acted very cautiously, and kept kicking up dust where he walked, thereby blocking the footprints. .”
"No wonder, I usually patrol these areas, but I haven't seen any footprints. It turns out that they are blocked by the soil." Seeing this scene, Mianmu Qinghuo was a little surprised, and then said: "What kind of guy would come nearby quietly? , and are you afraid of being discovered by me?"
"What we can think of is that the other party must have a conspiracy and not do good things." Guan Heng thought for a moment, and then said to the girls: "Everyone, how about we delay for a while and investigate this matter clearly?"
"Sure, it's up to you." Qianxin coaxed and coaxed the golden wren chick from Ruotao. She was playing with the little one with the Jiugongfinch, so she agreed without any hesitation. Qinghuang They also nodded and said, "I listen to you."
"Okay, Demon Mandrill and King Armor, you all spread out and look for it. There may be some dark caves, hidden caves, etc. on the edge of the woods."
Guan Heng said: "Because since the other party often comes in and out of this area, it will be very troublesome if there is no nest or passage." "I understand, Mr. Guan."
The mandrills and the others agreed and dispersed to get busy.
"And you..." At this moment, Guan Heng turned his head and glanced at the girls. Seeing that everyone was circling around the golden wren chicks, he could only sigh: "Okay, girls, take a break for now, it seems that you are teasing the little ones. It’s more important to you.”
"Guan Heng, I will accompany you everywhere."
"Master Guan, there are us." The Shui Xuan Spirit Beast flew down on Guan Heng's shoulders, and several spirit fire bodies also gathered around him. Guan Hengyi glanced at the Shui Xuan Spirit Beast, and then said with a smile: "Spirit Fire Let’s not mention it for now, Xiao Shuishui, if you are so attentive for nothing, you must have an agenda, right?”
"Huh? In your mind, is my character that low?" Hearing this, the Water Mysterious Spirit Beast was a little unhappy: "Is the Young Master so greedy for cheap?"
Guan Heng, the Spirit Fires, the Cloud Pattern Ancient Tiger, and the Spirit Leopard all said in unison: "Yes!"
"You guys are going too far. You don't give me any face." The water mysterious spirit beast was a little embarrassed at this time, with a dissatisfied look on its face as it muttered. Guan Heng said: "What benefits do you want to get from me? Tell me, maybe I will agree."
Hearing this, the Water Mysterious Spiritual Beast shouted happily: "Really? I want the Insect Controlling Golden Whistle!"
"No!" Guan Heng flatly refused without hesitation, and the Water Mysterious Spirit Beast said with a cry: "You're a scumbag, didn't you just say you would agree?" "I just said 'maybe' I would agree."
Guan Heng said, reaching out and pinching its cheek: "Don't say that there are only three whistles. It's not enough for the girls. Even if there are any left, I won't give them to you. If you take it, maybe from time to time If you blow the whistle, those bugs we raise will rebel."
"Stingy guy!" The Water Mysterious Spirit Beast used its claws to knock his hand away, and then said with a displeased look on his face: "Then why don't you lend it to me for a while?"
"No!" Guan Heng said with a smile: "This thing is too dangerous in your hands, so it's not possible, but..."
At this point, he paused deliberately. The water mysterious spirit beast blinked and asked, "But what? Just tell me."
Guan Hengdao: "How about I make a similar whistle for you to play with? Do you want it?"
"I want it." After hearing this, the water mysterious spirit beast happily stretched out its little paw in front of him: "Bring it here."
"Go, how can it be so fast? You have to be good and I will give it to you later." After saying that, Guan Heng patted its forehead.
"Okay then, I will believe you just once." The water mysterious spirit beast seemed to feel that it was too anxious and quickly retracted its claws.
Then, the Water Mysterious Spirit Beast said: "By the way, if it's an imitation whistle, you might as well make a few more, including the Tiger King, the Clouded Leopard, the Venomous Sand Spider King, and the Wind-controlling Fire Heilong. When the time comes, if you encounter any situation, you can blow the whistle to notify your companions."
"It makes sense." Guan Heng nodded. At this time, he had already led the Water Mysterious Spirit Beast and the Spirit Fires to the edge of the Baimianmu Forest more than a hundred feet away.
"Master Guan, after walking around for a while, I don't seem to have found anything. How about we go back first?" Canglan Guyan said, "Maybe the Mandrills and the others already have clues."
"Yeah, that's right." When Guan Henggang said this, the Water Mysterious Spirit Beast suddenly flew into the air, and then whispered: "Hey, hey, don't leave in a hurry. Look, there is a pit in front of you. There seems to be something in it. , there’s something strange.”
"Let's go over and have a look." After saying that, Guan Heng led everyone to rush away. There were several half-covered corpses of spiritual beasts in the pit. They were almost rotten, and all of them had white bones. .
"Huh?" Mianmu Qinghuo was startled when he saw these remains. It said, "I haven't seen any corpses of spiritual beasts here a while ago. It's strange. Why did it suddenly appear here?"
"Maybe it didn't appear suddenly at all. These corpses haven't been moved for a long time." Guan Heng took a look and then said: "Maybe the guy who killed the spirit beast used the method of hiding the footprints just now."
"I understand." Desert Minghuo said: "Master Guan, what you mean is that the other party covered the corpse with earth to cover it from the sun, so Qinghuo didn't notice it for a while, right?"
"Yes, that should be it." Guan Heng nodded, and the water mysterious spirit beast landed on the edge of the pit, and then said: "These spirit beasts all have obvious penetrating wounds or signs of torn flesh. , apparently he was killed by a very violent guy.”
"Damn it, you dare to commit murder on my territory. These beasts have really turned the world upside down!" After hearing everyone's analysis, Mianmu Qinghuo was so angry that he groaned: "God damn it, don't let me know who did it. Otherwise I will burn it to ashes!"
"It seems like there are no other clues about these corpses." Guan Heng said, "It would be outrageous to let them expose their corpses here. Qinghuo, let's cremate them."
"Yes, Mr. Guan is right." Mianmu Qinghuo agreed, and suddenly released a large burst of flames, burning the corpses in the pit.
But at this moment, the water mysterious spirit beast at the edge of the pit suddenly said: "Hey, there seems to be something else in the pit, let me take a look."
"Hey!" The next moment, it had jumped into the fire pit.
