Chapter 482: Future Direction

Wan Song said this in one breath, a bit tired, and rested before continuing: "We usually act in the suburbs to avoid attracting attention, that time was the first time entering a big city. Mr. Mai summoned the Snail Toad in a large mansion, hid these four people in the Snail Toad, and escaped underground."

"He specifically used the Snail Toad to take people away from Bai Sha Shoal?"

Wan Song nodded.

"What was the situation in the city at that time?"

"I don't know, I left after receiving the people, didn't stay, didn't pay attention. But when I was in the mansion, I heard many footsteps on the outer street."

He paused: "Later I drove the Snail Toad and put them seventy li west of Bai Sha Shoal, and then returned."

He Lingchuan asked him: "How do you summon the Snail Toad?"

The Snail Toad usually came and went without a trace underground, this group of people must have a fixed way to contact it.

Wan Song glanced at him: "After today's battle, it won't respond to my summons, don't you dream."

"That's my business." He Lingchuan said lightly. "You just tell me."

Wan Song took a breath: "Take a Snail Toad egg, and then smash it hard. As long as it is not far away, it will have a sense."

"Smash it? Really?"

"Really."

He Lingchuan doubted: "Why do I feel this is making an enemy, not summoning?"

He crossed his legs and said seriously to Wan Song: "Speaking only half, otherwise your child will only have half."

Wan Song's dull expression faded, revealing a bit of helplessness: "If it's me or Mr. Mai summoning, it will come to listen to orders; if it's someone who doesn't know, it's making an enemy, it will lurk around and wait for an opportunity to attack."

"How far is 'not far'?"

"Thirty or forty li."

He Lingchuan reached out to him: "Give me the eggs."

"In the pendant." Wan Song didn't even have the strength to lift his hand, so he could only let him take his necklace.

He Lingchuan did find a jar of damp mud here, with seven or eight white balls buried in it, each the size of a ping-pong ball, soft, smooth, and bouncy to the touch.

"After the Snail Toad escaped, where might it go?"

"Go find it, its master, we are not, only Mr. Mai..."

"Describe Mr. Mai."

"Mr. Mai is quite tall, his body shape is about the same as yours. He doesn't talk much, and doesn't look for us if there's nothing. He wears a blood jade thumb ring wherever he goes..."

Wan Song was already at the end of his rope, and after saying so much, his spirit was exhausted, and he couldn't hide it anymore, and then muttered a few words, no one could hear clearly.

He Lingchuan pursued: "Blood jade thumb ring?"

Is it the thumb ring hidden in the painting jar with the pulp beads? "Yes, yes..."

Then, Wan Song's breathing became weaker and weaker, until it stopped.

General Ling said hatefully: "A heinous criminal, actually let him die so peacefully!"

Wan Song's funeral arrangements were handled by the government runners, He Lingchuan stood up and walked out.

Out of the door, General Ling was still staring: "This kind of person shouldn't have descendants! If you hadn't taken an oath, I really want to, really want to..."

It dug the ground hard with its hooves.

He Lingchuan laughed: "He originally had no descendants, you can calm down."

"Eh?" General Ling's anger leaked out. "But wasn't it just now... wait, is that woman's pregnancy fake?"

Jiao Yu mocked the old sheep: "You just reacted?"

He Lingchuan walked to the back of the hall, Qing Gu was still sleeping here, and the knife cut on her clothes was still there.

He reached in and uncovered it, actually uncovering Qing Gu's belly! Even General Ling, who had killed countless people, was startled when he saw this scene.

But he quickly discovered that the uncovered skin changed color immediately, and dark patterns like scales appeared on the surface.

This piece of skin was actually very large, and it couldn't be Qing Gu's human skin from the area.

This thing was naturally the camouflage skin of Boshan Jun, which could blend in with the environment, tied to Qing Gu's upper body, naturally transforming into Qing Gu's body.

Boshan Jun was also a great monster with cultivation in his lifetime, how could an ordinary dagger pierce its skin? So Qing Gu was not injured at all.

As for the blood flowing down, it was He Lingchuan who first hid a small blood sac in Qing Gu's navel, and when he did it, he first pierced the blood sac, naturally having a vivid visual effect.

In fact, He Lingchuan pushed Qing Gu out after finishing the knife.

It was just that Wan Song was in pain and his brain was not as clear as usual, so he didn't find this flaw.

General Ling saw the blood sac, and after pondering, knew what was going on, and couldn't help but mutter: "What's the relationship with really stabbing a knife? Why go to such trouble."

He Lingchuan smiled and didn't explain, put a silver ingot beside Qing Gu, which was the cost of assisting in the investigation, and then said to the doctor: "Okay, wake her up and let her go."

General Ling was used to being a tyrant locally, how could he care about the life of a commoner? Everyone had different positions and backgrounds, so some topics didn't need to be discussed.

When leaving the medical hall, the sky was already bright.

He Lingchuan said to General Ling: "The murderer who killed the Drilling Wind Beast is dead, is General satisfied with this result?"

General Ling nodded: "Thank you!"

"Does General plan to set off east? The deadline is coming."

General Ling was slightly stunned, looked at him, and thought for a while before saying: "You kid, if you have something to say, just say it directly, don't you want to investigate anymore?"

His address to He Lingchuan had changed, two days ago he still respectfully called him Special Envoy.

This was not disrespect, but the distance was getting closer.

"Have you both heard of immortality medicine?" He Lingchuan also observed Jiao Yu and General Ling, these two monsters' facial expressions were not as flexible as humans, but when Wan Song said the three words "immortality medicine", the tiger's tail tip curled up, and the old sheep shook its head twice.

Both monsters were silent for a moment before nodding: "Know."

General Ling even said: "There are people in Chi Yan Kingdom who take it."

"The case is not simple here." He Lingchuan asked General Ling, "Do you still want to investigate down... no, it's investigate up?"

General Ling rarely hesitated, and then said: "I should go east, but the mastermind who killed my clansmen hasn't been caught yet. Bai Sha Shoal is within the borders of Chi Yan, at least I have to catch Mr. Mai and his superior!"

He Lingchuan looked at Jiao Yu, the fierce tiger licked its claws: "Within the borders of Chi Yan, we have the right to arrest."

This meant to continue the investigation, which was also in line with the temperament of the future master of Chi Yan. He Lingchuan sighed, Fu Shanyue's reward was really hard to take.

General Ling looked up to the sky and sighed: "It's a pity that the Snail Toad escaped! Otherwise, finding it would be finding Mr. Mai."

At this time, the government runner Xu Dayou ran toward them, smiling: "Special Envoy, Wan Xian-neng and Lai Wen have been taken to the township jail, the County Magistrate wants to ask, do you have any instructions?"

He Lingchuan waved his hand: "Nothing. Both suspects are important witnesses, please send someone to escort them to the capital."

Xu Dayou responded and left.

He Lingchuan comforted the old sheep: "Maybe Mr. Mai is also in Bai Sha Shoal."

His desire to see Mr. Mai was no less than General Ling's.

General Ling regretted: "It's a pity that I have to leave, and can't accompany you to chase the murderer."

He Lingchuan laughed: "General, wait for the good news."

General Ling turned around, took out a bell from nowhere and gave it to him: "This is a Drilling Wind Bell, give it to your rock sheep. I see it is very fast, but its attack is too weak. This bell can make it transform into a Drilling Wind Beast within twelve breaths, possessing the power and triple strike of my clan. Of course, the bell needs to be replenished with wind energy for a day to take effect, and it can only be used by sheep monsters."

He Lingchuan didn't expect this unexpected joy, and accepted it generously, and tied it to the rock sheep as soon as he turned around.

"I can't go to Bai Sha Shoal, but I have an old friend there for many years. He has been an official in Chi Yan Kingdom and Spirit Void City, retired last winter, and is venerable and respected in Bai Sha Shoal, and has a wide network of contacts, or can be your help." General Ling paused and said, "This guy is a bit greasy on the outside, pfft, it's slippery, but actually has two points of backbone, can be trusted in big things, otherwise how would I have been friends with him for so long?"

It took out another pink gemstone the size of a palm and handed it to He Lingchuan: "This guy loves strange stones, I promised to give him a pink stone. Take this as my token and meeting gift."

He Lingchuan accepted it and remembered it.

"See you later, find you to drink again." General Ling said goodbye, and led his attendants toward the east.

The past day was unusually long, even the fierce tiger let out a breath and asked He Lingchuan: "Where to now?"

He Lingchuan looked at General Ling's back and was lost in thought, didn't answer, until the fierce tiger asked again, then withdrew his gaze.

The question he asked General Ling was actually asking himself.

The messenger disappearance case was not simple from the beginning, and investigating until now, he could vaguely feel that the resistance in front was getting bigger and bigger.

Strange Snail Toad, Mr. Mai who was elusive, the mastermind who dared to hunt monsters in the monster kingdom, and the Chi Yan Kingdom ruler who was unusually determined and demanded to investigate to the end...

Was this matter just revealing the tip of the iceberg? He Lingchuan could still stop now, catching a Wan Song was enough to explain to Fu Shanyue.

Even the old sheep ran away.

But if he quit halfway now, he wouldn't be able to see the scene under the water.

Didn't he say he would hit the water in the middle of the stream? If he only took this small step and shrank back, would he be able to withstand the baptism of the storm when the Beijia Monster Kingdom discovered the secret of the Great Fanghu one day?

The sword technique he practiced was Wave Slash.

It was a sword technique, and also a heart technique.

If there was no courage to go deep behind enemy lines and chase waves, how could he be strong when meeting the strong and rise above the clouds in the future?

The blade technique he practiced was Wave Slash.

It was a blade technique, but also a mental cultivation method.

If one lacks the courage to venture deep behind enemy lines and ride the waves, how can one later meet strength with strength and soar above the clouds?
