Chapter 77: The Last Great Wu Is Dead

Su Jin stood at the courtyard gate, his face flushing red and pale in turns.

He wanted to say he had no such selfish motive, but he opened and closed his mouth, yet never spoke a word.

He knew his relationship with Su Hanlin was over; they could no longer be friends.

Su Hanlin had guessed his petty thoughts back then and lost an eye; just as he himself said, he would remember Su Jin's fault for the rest of his life.

He would probably hold a grudge against Su Jin for his entire life!

Su Jin turned with difficulty and walked away, step by step.

To say he felt no sadness would be a lie, but to say he felt regret was also untrue.

Not long after Su Jin left, a young cultivator wearing the official robe of the Patrol Bureau walked into Su Hanlin's courtyard.

Su Hanlin saw his face clearly and froze in shock.

"Da Hu Zi? Su Huchen?"

"I didn't expect you, Little Hanzi, to still remember me! Let me say sorry first; I knew there was a situation over there long ago. I wanted to fish, but I didn't catch a big fish, and I fished away one of your eyes." The young cultivator in the brocade robe apologized the moment he spoke.

Su Hanlin shook his head directly. "I know very well in my heart how I lost my eye.

Actually, seeing you, I also need to say sorry.

I actually went to the forest farm together with Su Jian and his sister. Because Su Jin went to save people, and their side was even more dangerous, I gave up on Su Jian, let him hold his sister and escape on his own, and instead went to help Su Jin save people.

I am the one who wronged him."

Hearing this, Su Huchen shook his head directly and said, "That kid Su Jian certainly won't be angry with you. In that situation, as long as he escaped quickly, don't look at the fact that he was carrying a child, but actually he wasn't in danger.

But Su Jin was not; if you hadn't gone, then the one who lost an eye today would have been him."

Su Hanlin: "..."

Your words make my heart ache.

"It is all because of you that he was able to successfully rescue that female cultivator named An Qian with almost no injuries; An Qian actually should be grateful to you." Su Huchen said.

Su Hanlin: I feel like you are being sarcastic to me?

"Losing an eye will greatly affect your combat power; do you have any thoughts about the future?" Su Huchen asked again.

"Da Hu Zi, if you have anything to say, just say it directly." Su Hanlin was just about to roll his eyes at him.

"Our Patrol Bureau needs a batch of intelligence analysts; I remember you were very good at doing this before." Su Huchen said. "The current batch of intelligence analysts are a bit like corpses occupying seats without doing their duties, not very effective, so I plan to replace part of them."

"But you must know, I once committed a great error and was driven out of the Intelligence Bureau." Su Hanlin said.

When he was young, he had joined the Intelligence Bureau under the Patrol Bureau. But back then, he was purged because he committed a great error.

"As for who actually committed the error, if others don't know, how could I not know? If they don't speak up, then I won't speak up either. If they dare to speak up, then we will settle the total account!" Su Huchen's eyes flashed with cold light.

Su Hanlin thought for a moment: "Are you sure? If I return to the Intelligence Bureau, you will definitely face criticism, saying you are hiring based on favoritism."

"Do you think I am someone who fears trouble? To tell you the truth, I think there is a problem with the Intelligence Bureau. But I don't know where the problem lies. That is why I plan to send you back to the Intelligence Bureau. Of course, the Intelligence Bureau has more than just you as my person.

You are the open chess piece I have placed in plain sight.

It just depends on whether you dare to do it."

"Do it!! The grudge of being wrongly accused back then, even if I have to die, I will avenge it."

"No need for you to die!! The intelligence analyst I lack is not a suicide squad captain!!" Su Huchen wordlessly curled the corner of his mouth. "You just need to help me catch those people's little braids."

"There is another matter, come and take a look." Saying this, Su Huchen moved a round table in front of Su Hanlin, then carefully opened a small package and picked out more than ten shriveled little black tails from inside.

"Do you know what these things are? And how did they die?"

"Go get me a full set of tools." Su Hanlin directly ordered Su Huchen to work.

Su Huchen wordlessly pulled out a brand new set of detection tools from his storage ring again. "It's for you."

Su Hanlin put on gloves, then put on special glasses. Then he began to operate the tools to conduct detection on the shriveled little tadpoles.

After a good while, he said, "These are mutated blood leeches! Moreover, these mutated blood leeches should have been absorbed and catalyzed by some evil object. You can also say they are a kind of mutated evil object!! And their mother body should be able to remotely control their reproduction and life and death within a certain distance."

"These things can drill into the human body, and also use eating human brains to control humans and mimic humans." Su Huchen added. "Moreover, these things have bodies that are already half-ethereal; ordinary armor and protective gear simply cannot stop them.

I personally witnessed them killing several of my partners.

Only powerful fire-element or metal-element spells or spiritual martial arts attacks can put them to death."

Su Huchen continued to provide information to Su Hanlin.

"Then how did these shriveled little bodies come to be?" Su Hanlin asked wordlessly.

"What do you think? Actually, I am also very curious; what exactly killed them? And killed so many of them at once?" Su Huchen asked.

"According to my detection, these little things died almost at the same time. The fluids inside their bodies seemed to be swallowed simultaneously by something. Only an empty flesh shell was left. This method of death is quite special. Only a few things can cause this death effect.

However, those few famous existences almost never walk around near our Xiancheng.

So the one most likely to cause this killing effect is only one."

"I thought you would say there was none." Su Huchen immediately became interested. "I took these little evil objects to the Intelligence Bureau to let them analyze them, but they actually told me that since those few things were not near Xiancheng, they didn't know what exactly killed those little evil objects."

"Those people are really perfunctory with you. There are so many Wuzhu tribes near our Xiancheng; they aren't even willing to think about this? Hehe." Su Hanlin smiled sarcastically.

"Then what exactly killed them?" Su Huchen asked hurriedly.

"It is Xue Chiluo." Su Hanlin said.

"What thing? What Xue Chiluo? What monster is Xue Chiluo?" Su Huchen asked hurriedly.

"Xue Chiluo is not a monster; it is a coexisting Wuling created by the Great Wus of the Wood Wuzhu clan themselves. And it is an ancient coexisting Wuling." Su Hanlin said.

"Didn't that go extinct long ago?" Su Huchen's mouth twitched.

Su Hanlin looked at him wordlessly.

"The Wuzhu clan still shouts every day that the last Great Wu in their tribe is already dead.

Do you dare to believe it? Just say, do you dare to believe it?"
