The entire village was in ruins, with bones scattered among the fire-burned ruins.
Meng Qi looked at the scene in front of her and couldn't help but sigh, "Xiao Qi, this mission is a bit difficult." After sighing, Meng Qi squatted next to a skeleton and looked at every detail.
Chen Xuan looked around. On Sen Bai's bones, new maggots were eating the remaining minced meat. The scene was disgusting.
"This mission to deal with the evil cultivator is different from what we imagined." Chen Xuan raised his eyes and looked at the sky. "I thought that as long as we came here, we could see the evil cultivator, kill him, and then the mission would be completed."
"What you said was to wipe out the bandits, but what we are doing now is to hunt down the evil cultivators. If the evil cultivators don't die, more villages will suffer."
"Then how are we going to hunt them down? All we have in front of us are broken houses, bones and maggots."
"As expected, this is my first time doing a mission, so I don't understand anything." Meng Qi stood up, "Of course we hunted down the evil cultivator based on the traces left by the evil cultivator. Look, the direction of the dead body's bones, the broken bones It can reveal some useful information and help us roughly understand the target we want to pursue."
"It takes a year for the corpse to turn into bones and rot, and during this year, the evil cultivator has long gone to who knows where."
"That makes sense, have you studied it before?"
"I heard that Wu Zuo, the author of the book, talked about it."
"There is no problem with this statement, but the reason why these corpses turned into bones was caused by animals eating them. In this case, the bones cannot be used to judge the time of his death. The other way to judge the time of death is that the corpses were not chewed clean. Maggots from minced meat.”
After speaking, Meng Qi pointed to the black pupa shell next to the white bones and continued, "It takes one to seven hours for a fly's eggs to hatch into maggots. In four to five days, the maggots can grow to be as wide as a finger and fall to the ground. The pupa can break out of its shell and turn into a fly after seven days, so if you see this black pupa shell next to a corpse, it means that the person has been dead for at least half a month."
"We can then draw more conclusions based on the degree of damage to each skeleton, excluding animal damage and summarizing man-made wounds."
"Some of the bones have traces of trampling by horse hooves, which means that the evil cultivator does not have the ability to fly with a sword, so his cultivation is within the realm of melting the sky."
Meng Qi closed her eyes and imagined the scene of the murderer committing the crime.
They set fire to the house and drove the villagers out. Then, evil cultivators on horses rushed towards the crowd...
"That's not right." Meng Qi opened her eyes and said solemnly, "There is more than one evil cultivator."
Chen Xuan stood aside quietly, looking at Meng Qi's serious look, and couldn't help but start thinking, but he couldn't think of anything.
After a while, Meng Qi said again, "What is certain is that there is a group of evil cultivators heading north to kill people. Let's go after them!"
Chen Xuan nodded and summoned the flaming sword eagle. With the roar of the flaming sword eagle, the two of them took off and flew towards the north.
The two of them searched all the way in the Blazing Sword Eagle, and finally found traces of the evil cultivator near dusk.
Right in front of the two of them, a long plume of thick smoke rose from the ground, clearly visible from miles away.
The village was in trouble, with burning thatched cottages everywhere. Thirty gangsters on horseback trampled back and forth in the village with grinning faces. The long knives in their hands were all stained with blood.
The few villagers who survived were writhing in a pool of blood, and screams could not be heard.
Seeing this tragic situation, Meng Qi immediately used several spiritual swords. Under the control of Meng Qi's spiritual power, the spiritual swords flew towards the bandits on horseback.
Chen Xuan on the side did not take action. He controlled the flaming sword eagle and his eyes were firmly locked in front of a small house at the end of the village.
There, there was a cultivator in gray clothes with blood on his hands and face. Around him, lay the corpses of three or four young men. Their whole bodies were as pale as paper and shriveled, with no trace of blood visible. .
"Is this an evil cultivator? It is indeed vicious!"
The evil cultivator suddenly raised his head and saw a ferocious face, with a pair of bloody eyes staring at him, as if he wanted to see a bloody hole in Chen Xuan who was riding a flaming sword eagle.
"Who is it?" Xie Xiu's mouth spattered with blood, and his voice was shrill and shrill, like a ghost from the Nine Netherworld.
"The one who sends you to hell!"
"What a joke! Two idiots also want to fight me!" Xie Xiu waved his hand, and the long swords in the hands of the gangsters immediately flew into the air and fought towards Meng Qi's long sword in the sky.
For a time, the village was filled with sword shadows and murderous intent was everywhere.
Map of the Star Sea, Chen Xuan looked at the evil cultivator and thought to himself.
"Man, the early stage of the life-threatening realm." The analysis of the star sea chart was concise and clear.
"This person is actually a master in the early stage of the life-threatening realm!" After Chen Xuan said this, he prepared to summon the Shattering Mountain Sky Ape.
However, Meng Qi on the side stopped Chen Xuan, "I'm going to kill this guy myself."
As Meng Qi stepped on the sword, the evil cultivator opened his mouth wide and shot a stream of blood arrows towards Meng Qi.
The bloody smell of the blood arrow was so strong that Meng Qi could feel the bloody smell coming from ten meters away.
When Meng Qi saw this, she immediately slapped the ground with one hand, and as spiritual power poured into the ground, "Earth flow wall!" After saying this, an earth wall rose up in front of Meng Qi.
The evil cultivator's blood arrow hit the earth wall and bloomed like water.
"Earth Spear Break!" Meng Qi launched the move again, still slapping her hands on the ground.
The bloodshot eyes of the evil cultivator who was fighting with him sank, and he made a decisive decision and jumped up high. The moment he jumped up, a thorn made of earth and stone shot up from the ground, piercing a distance of ten feet, and then Stop without moving.
"Earth flow wall, earth gun breaking, a technique that injects spiritual power into the earth and stirs up the earth and rocks. It is extremely concealed and cannot be detected by ordinary people." Chen Xuan, who was watching the battle, analyzed the situation on the field, "Senior sister's two moves The gap is so short, and he can avoid the earth gun attack with great difficulty, this evil cultivator's perception is extraordinary!"
The evil cultivator leaped high and spat out another blood arrow, aiming directly at Meng Qi behind the wall.
Meng Qi didn't dare to be careless about this, and threw a spiritual sword to match it!
When the two moves collided, the blood arrow exploded and turned into a rain of blood falling from the sky.
Every drop of blood rain contains the evil spirit of evil cultivators, and every drop is full of shocking murderous intent!
Meng Qi held out a round shield, and the blood rain hit it, making bursts of sounds of gold and iron!
The surrounding gangsters were caught off guard and were hit by the blood rain. The blood rain immediately penetrated the gangsters, leaving several bloody holes and taking away their lives.
"The power of the first blood arrow is not strong, in order to make the opponent have a mentality that the opponent is nothing more than this. The second blood arrow that follows contains more powerful power than the previous one. If the opponent is slightly stronger, If you are lazy, the power of this move is enough to determine the outcome." Chen Xuan looked at the changes on the field and couldn't help but sigh at the dangers of fighting, "This is the so-called tiger fighting the rabbit and trying your best."
The gangsters who were not affected withdrew from the battle circle. They were still desperate for their lives despite their many crimes. However, just a moment later, they were smashed to pieces by the Shattering Mountain Ape summoned by Chen Xuan.
