Chapter 21: The Murderer
"What's going on?" Cinnabar rubbed her eyes, wondering what the little sister was crazy about.
"Brother Cinnabar, you're still sleeping, something big is going to happen now. Gu Xiaozao's voice was full of crying: "Brother Feng Xiaoling was killed." ”
"What, Feng Xiaoling, he's dead?"
Cinnabar couldn't help but be surprised, although he was a person who had been through life and death for a long time, he was naturally no stranger to life and death, but it was also a little difficult for him to accept the sudden departure of the people around him who were usually close to him.
"Tell me, what's going on?" Cinnabar asked Gu Xiaozao anxiously as she rolled over and got up.
Gu Xiaozao's beautiful eyes flashed, and she said with a confused expression: "I don't know the specifics, and I can't say it for a while, Sister Li Xiang asked me to call you over quickly." ”
Cinnabar nodded, hurriedly stood up and cleaned up, and rushed to the accident site with Gu Xiaozao.
When they arrived, they found that everyone else was already standing there with solemn faces.
Feng Xiaoling has been a close partner for a long time, and was sent to the vigil yesterday, but now he is dead in an unknown manner, and everyone is naturally in an extremely gloomy mood.
At this time, everyone's faces were gloomy, standing or squatting, and they were all observing the appearance of Feng Xiaoling's death, and among them, the iron boy was almost frightened and didn't say a word.
Cinnabar came to the front of everyone and looked at the ground, it was no one else lying on the ground, and it was really a friend who had a good conversation yesterday: Feng Xiaoling.
Feng Xiaoling's body was found in a mountain col not far away, lying next to a pile of rubble, his face was not only a little serene, but also a little surprised, and the open and unclosed mouth seemed to be exclaiming something.
And at his neck, it was miserable, and at this moment it was a blur of flesh and blood, as if it had been torn by a wild beast, not only the skin and flesh were open, but also some bursts.
"It's all my fault, I ordered Xiaoling to keep vigil last night, and I slept so hard yesterday, and I didn't find anything abnormal. ”
Zhu Tianshou smashed his fist on the stone next to him, his eyes were full of tears, as the boss of the hunting group, he deeply blamed himself for his negligence.
Zheng Bai walked up to him, patted him lightly on the shoulder, and said with relief: "Forget it, boss, no one would have thought that such a thing would happen." ”
"Who the hell is it, who killed Feng Xiaoling. Zhao Shibao had a fiery temper and shouted angrily.
Among all the people in the hunting group, Feng Xiaoling had the best relationship with him, and now seeing such a close partner suddenly die in front of him, it was unacceptable for anyone to change him.
The people present were silent, in fact, not only Zhao Shibao had such a sad feeling, but everyone was the same.
Zhu Tianshou glanced around Feng Xiaoling's corpse, and not far from his feet, he found Feng Xiaoling's pouch.
He leaned over to pick it up and handed it to Zhao Shibao's hand, while contemplating: "The bag is still there, the other party is definitely not robbing the property, and looking at the condition of this wound, it doesn't seem to be done by the human race." ”
In the end, he was the head of the group, so he first calmed down and analyzed: "Since it is unlikely that the human race will make a move, then maybe it is a powerful spirit beast passing by." People can't be resurrected after death, and before we entered the Spirit Beast Mountain Range, we knew that there would be such a day, so we don't have to be too discouraged. ”
He suggested, "For the sake of today's plan, let's first find the culprit who killed Feng Xiaoling." ”
Li Xiang said: "Well, I wish the boss what he said is right, we are all people who lick blood from the knife edge, naturally we have long been prepared in this regard, no amount of tears can be exchanged for Feng Xiaoling's resurrection, only to find out the murderer of him is the most important." ”
Zhao Shihu said in a deep voice: "Since he is not a human race, what kind of spirit beast did he die in?"
Zhu Tianshou nodded and said: "No one would have thought that such an unfortunate thing would happen, since everyone is here, then work together, you might as well talk about your own opinions." ”
"Look at the wound on his neck," Zheng Bai on the side frowned, and slowly analyzed: "Such a brutal killing method is not something that a normal human race can perform.
"What do you mean?" Zhao Shihu was taken aback, he obviously thought of some possibility.
"Yes, I personally feel that it is not humanly possible, and it is even more obvious that it may be a vicious and abnormal spirit beast, and it can make Feng Xiaoling so easy, it is very likely that it is a fifth-order wisdom spirit beast that has never been encountered. ”
"A fifth-order spirit beast?" Li Xiang said in surprise: "You mean, during the vigil last night, Feng Xiaoling discovered that a spirit beast was coming, and then encountered a poisonous hand?"
She suddenly remembered something: "Since the spirit beast attacked him, why didn't he attack us?" And why didn't he wake everyone up, but faced it alone?"
"This high-level spirit beast may only have the possibility of passing by, so it didn't alarm us. ”
Zheng Bai said: "As for Feng Xiaoling facing it alone, maybe he thinks that he can completely solve the other party, and he doesn't find out how terrible the opponent he is facing!"
Zhao Shibao nodded and said: "Yes, with my understanding of Feng Xiaoling, he has a conceited personality and regards himself as a martial artist, so there is indeed such a possibility." ”
Li Xiang nodded and said, "Yes, Feng Xiaoling's cultivation is now close to the stage of major cultivators, and among the few of us, it is also among the top three." And what he is best at is that he is extremely fast, which is much stronger than those of us present, and it is possible to kill the opponent if he wants to be self-defeating. ”
Cinnabar secretly thought in his heart, the analysis of these people is also quite reasonable, Feng Xiaoling came into contact all the way, and he was indeed quite arrogant in his speech, especially for the attainment of speed, he felt good about himself.
Cinnabar had seen it with his own eyes in the altar back then, and the wind system cultivation technique of the Divine Wind Palace, that kind of perverted speed was really terrifying.
"Zheng Yun is right, it's similar to what I think in my heart, and I also tend to be doing it by passing by spirit beasts. ”
Zhu Tianshou said quietly: "In our group of people, everyone is a brother who has experienced life and death together, so it is naturally impossible to make a move, and although the two brothers and sisters of Cinnabar are young, they are also temperamental people after getting along these days, and it is impossible to kill Feng Xiaoling." ”
"If you think I'm not doing a good job, then there's another possibility we need to face......"
Zheng Yun said coldly: "That is, near us, there may be a fifth-order level spirit beast lurking, eyeing us." ”
Everyone looked shocked, and they couldn't help but feel a little cold in their hearts.
Listening to Zheng Bai's analysis before, I already felt that his words were very reasonable, and they all thought that it was unlikely that Feng Xiaoling would die at the hands of insiders.
But if Zheng Yun's current conclusion is correct, maybe there are high-level spirit beasts waiting for an opportunity to sneak attack in the shadows not far away, which is indeed not a happy thing.
Zhu Tianshou said in a deep voice: "Let me add one more point, before we don't know the opponent, I think we have to make more psychological preparations, the opponent may be a high-level spirit beast, or it may be another race." You must know that now that rare beasts are born, it may not only be the spirit beasts who come here, but even demons and demons are possible, and we still can't rule out that possibility......"
He licked his lips and said, "If you are a master of the spiritual cultivation period, you can also do this. ”
When Cinnabar heard this, he felt that his goosebumps were about to rise.
