Niu Wazi felt Mo Jiecheng and Ji Wanrong staring at him motionless with their big eyes open.
The faint aura around them made him feel a chill in his back. He swallowed, and naturally he didn't dare to lie, so he had to speak quickly.
"Although the village chief kept telling us not to worry about other things, we brothers were a little curious and a little scared when we saw the unidentified corpse, so we took advantage of the village chief's absence to go take a look. "
"We walked along the river for a long time, until all the corpses disappeared, and there were no traces of pieces of meat, but we didn't see any suspicious houses or signs of habitation."
"These corpses seem to appear out of thin air, and the source cannot be found at all..."
When Niu Wazi said this, he paused slightly. He knew that what he said was suspicious, as if he was deliberately hiding some important news from the two nobles in front of him.
But only he knows that everything he said is true! No lies!
When Ji Wanrong heard what Niu Wazi said, he didn't say anything. He just silently observed Niu Wazi's face. It didn't look fake.
But the corpse seemed to appear out of thin air? Isn't this too strange?
So Ji Wanrong asked again: "Then you have walked so far and haven't found any strange places? You haven't met anyone? You haven't seen any traces of people walking or moving along the way?"
Niu Wazi used to be a famous hunter in Zaozhuang, so he must be particularly sensitive to the traces left by creatures on the road.
But when he heard Ji Wanrong's words, he shook his head: "Noble! I really didn't lie to you! The mountain road is very difficult to walk, and the old people in our village have not allowed us to go there since we were young! We didn't find any human activities either. Mark of!"
The clue was broken again. Ji Wanrong looked at Mojie City, and then sighed again.
They could only wait until they got back and contacted Shi Heng, and then they went up the mountain along the river to have a look.
But this situation will take some days, and I don't know what happened over there, and whether I can wait.
Ji Wanrong looked at the dissected corpses and body parts in front of him and sighed secretly in his heart.
Whether these body parts are used as evidence or she needs a second dissection, she cannot let them lie alone in the wilderness. In the end, these dead souls must be buried in peace.
So Ji Wanrong raised his head and gave Mo Jiecheng a look.
Mo Jiecheng understood this and took the lead to take Niu Wazi outside.
When Niu Wazi walked away, Ji Wanrong took all the corpses in front of him back into the space, and then quickly followed the two of them.
The mountain road was difficult and dangerous. The soil growing on the river bank was always soaked in water, making the road slippery.
Although Niu Wazi is a local hunter, he is already familiar with this kind of road.
But when he walked next to Mo Jiecheng, feeling his dark face and the evil spirit lingering all over his body, he began to feel frightened and even walked with a crutch.
Mo Jiecheng was not careful, and Niu Wazi slipped, landed on his butt, and slid down the hillside.
Ji Wanrong only heard an exclamation, followed by a thud as Niu Wazi landed on his butt.
Mo Jiecheng and Ji Wanrong both twitched the corners of their mouths. Mo Jiecheng originally planned to use Qinggong and go to his side to help him up, but he didn't expect that Niu Wazi suddenly burst into laughter.
"I thought of it! I thought of it!"
Mo Jiecheng was stunned for a moment, and became defensive all over, even putting his hand on the sword he carried.
But I heard Niu Wazi continue: "Noble man! I just thought of it when I fell down like that!"
"The last time I went up the mountain, I also fell like this. I don't know how long I rolled and where I went, but when I opened my eyes, what I saw was a ruined temple!"
"If you ask me where I can see traces of human activity as I walk up the river, then the only one is the ruined temple!"
Niu Wazi slapped his thigh, and with the help of Mo Jiecheng's strength, he stood up from the dirt.
Mo Jiecheng heard what he said about the ruined temple, and thought for a moment, and then said: "Do you know the specific location of this ruined temple? Are there any traces of anyone's activities inside?"
Niu Wazi pointed to the river just now: "I just walked up the river for half an hour, and then I rolled down until I was halfway up the mountain, and I arrived."
"But although the ruined temple has traces of human activities in the past, it must have nothing to do with these corpses, right? After all, it is a place dedicated to gods. It is still so small. When you walk in, it is full of sand and dust. It seems that no one has survived now. place."
Ji Wanrong and Mo Jiecheng did not agree with Niu Wazi's words, but they did not refute it. The ruined temple Niu Wazi mentioned was indeed an entry point.
They will definitely check it out.
But now, I still go back to Hezaozhuang first.
Counting the time, the heavy boat sent by Mojie City should have arrived at Hezaozhuang by now. It would meet them first and then discuss the next strategy.
When Ji Wanrong heard that Chongzhou was coming, she was a little surprised. She turned her head and looked at Mo Jie City.
"When did Chongzhou come? Did he come from the capital?"
"I haven't seen him for a long time. What mission did you give him when you called him here from the capital?"
Mo Jiecheng watched Ji Wanrong stretch out his neck curiously, and after asking diligent questions about Zhongzhou's situation, his face turned darker, and he snorted coldly, obviously unwilling to say anything.
Ji Wanrong looked at his little expression and rolled her eyes secretly.
When they returned to Hezaozhuang, they found that Chongzhou had arrived. He didn't see Mo Jiecheng or Ji Wanrong, only Shi Heng, and he followed Shi Heng to ask a few questions about the trip.
Ji Wanrong looked at Zhong Zhou's handsome little face with a trace of vicissitudes of life, and knew that he might not be having a good life recently.
Chongzhou was chatting when he turned around and saw Ji Wanrong, his eyes lit up.
When Mo Jiecheng and Ji Wanrong approached, the faces of everyone in the room suddenly turned from joy to seriousness, and then from seriousness to fear, as if they suddenly sensed some terrible aura.
Chongzhou stood up from the chair in disbelief, his sensitive nose trembling like a hunting dog, and then followed the scent to find Mo Jiecheng and Ji Wanrong.
He smelled the stench emanating from Ji Wanrong and Mo Jiecheng, his eyes suddenly shrank, and his face almost turned green in an instant.
"Master? What does this smell like on you?"
"Master?! Did you two crawl out of the cesspool just now?"
Chongzhou's words made everyone present tremble. Even Shi Heng, who was sitting on the chair where the old god was present, hurriedly stood up and distanced himself from Mo Jiecheng.
