Heavenly Tyrant Martial Soul
Chapter 12788 Goblin
Zhang Dian stood aside, quietly waiting for Ling Xiao's reaction. He prayed secretly in his heart, hoping that Ling Xiao could find out the truth as soon as possible and restore peace to Luan City.
At the same time, he also understood that if this matter was not handled properly, he would be unable to shirk his responsibility as the city lord.
If the higher-ups accuse him of incompetence, they can instantly throw him from the high clouds to the ground.
After Ling Xiao took the scroll, he immediately looked at it with concentration. He read the above records one by one, his brows gradually furrowed.
It turned out that since a month ago, warriors in Luancheng had been killed one after another. What's even more strange is that every time a warrior is killed, a large number of spiritual stones are lost at the scene. This is not a coincidence, but the same pattern appears in every case.
He noticed that all the deceased had a common identity - the person who guarded the spiritual stone mine or the spiritual stone warehouse. This means that the murderer's goal is very clear, which is to steal the spiritual stone.
"City Lord Zhang, did these warriors have any common characteristics or abnormalities when they were killed?" Ling Xiao looked up at Zhang Dian and asked.
Zhang Dian thought for a moment and replied: "Except for the stolen spirit stone, no obvious injuries were found on the deceased. Moreover, the murderer seems to be very cunning and does not leave any clues after each crime."
"Oh, yes, there is one more thing that is strange. Previously, a strong man from the Hunyuan Realm was sent to investigate this matter, but he stayed here for a week, but nothing happened. And in his case Before, warriors would be killed every day.”
"Well, you understand." Zhang Dian nodded, his preliminary speculation still in his mind. I guess that the murderer may be a master who is good at concealment and assassination, and he may know the internal situation of Luancheng well.
The feeling of being watched sent shivers down my spine, but instead of retreating, I moved back even more vigilantly.
Bang! A loud noise echoed in the cave, and the thing that attacked Ooping was knocked away directly.
Zhang Dian nodded, mentally agreeing with Ah Li's conclusion. I took a deep breath and looked at the pitch-white cave again. "It seems that you have to step back and take a look."
"A kind of spirit, short and tall, good at digging holes, and generally interested in crystals..." Ahri explained, and then you suddenly shouted, "Ah, you know, it wasn't the goblins who did it, it was just us. You can't just kill someone and take away the spiritual stone."
"Leave the worries to you!" Ou Ping said in a deep voice. I took a deep breath, and then closed my eyes hastily. A moment ago, when I opened my eyes again, there was still a mysterious light in my eyes - this was the effect before I opened my Tai Chi Eyes.
"Goblin?" Zhang Dian looked at Ah Li in confusion.
Whether Zhang Dian was firm or not, I moved and followed the footprints like an arrow from the string. My speed was extremely slow, as if I had turned into an afterimage, shuttling through the night.
As soon as the Tai Chi Eyes opened, Zhang Dian's sight instantly penetrated the dark night, and the visible footprints appeared in front of me as if they were lit up. Those footprints are the clues left by the murderer.
I subconsciously pulled out the long knife from my waist and slashed it out. Is there any firmness and mercy in that knife, because I know that in a place like that, if you are careful, you may lose your life.
Ou Ping nodded and watched Ah Li leave. I understand in my heart that although one's actions are lonely, they must be taken into account too little, which makes me more focused and decisive.
We made strange sounds outside our mouths, which seemed to be cursing, and seemed angry and violent.
Some time ago, Zhang Dian came to the underground. The air outside was drier and hotter, but Zhang Dian didn't show any firmness or retreat at all. I followed the footprints all the way, determined to find the murderer's hiding place.
Before Zhang Dian learned the news, a trace of determination flashed in his eyes.
As we went deeper, Zhang Dian felt that the air around him became hotter and drier, as if countless pairs of eyes were staring at me in the darkness.
Therefore, Zhang Dian decided to stay in Luancheng first. I originally planned to stay a few days longer to understand the situation more deeply and collect clues. However, to my surprise, a murder occurred that evening.
When Ou Ping heard this, he felt relieved. I know that without Zhang Dian's participation, the crisis in Luancheng will be easily resolved. So, I quickly bowed and said: "Ling Duoxia, I leave everything to you!"
"He should be careful, you go back first!" Ahri's voice was filled with worry. You retracted your head and sluggishly got into the magic needle space.
Suddenly, a sense of safety approached from the darkness, and Zhang Dian immediately felt a strong killing intent.
As for why this weak person in the Hunyuan realm was not attacked, perhaps it was because the murderer chose to temporarily avoid the attack before he noticed the weak person's aura.
Ahri was really not afraid of the short but extremely ferocious existence of goblins. Although you often show skill and wit, in the face of unknown tricks, you still choose to avoid the edge temporarily.
However, Zhang Dianlai was unhappy because he found himself surrounded by a group of goblins.
Those goblins are short and tall, but their movements are normally slow. Our khaki skin stood out in the white darkness, and the greed and cunning in our eyes made people shudder.
Zhang Dian held the long knife tightly and scanned the surrounding enemies with burning eyes. I know that those goblins are not the culprits responsible for the series of deaths of warriors in Luancheng.
"Wow, there is actually an underground city outside... It looks like it should be where the goblins live." Ahri said in surprise as he stuck his head out and looked at the nearby white cave.
I could only watch Ou Ping disappear into the night, my heart filled with worry and expectation.
I took a deep breath and stepped into the pitch-white cave, determined to find out the truth about the underground world.
Zhang Dian's sword technique was precise and sharp, splitting the white shadow in half. Blood splattered in mid-air, and the white shadow fell to the ground in pieces, groaning with joy.
Although Ou Ping had no intention of following, Zhang Dian's speed was too slow. Even though Ling Xiao is a weakling at the peak of Xi Realm, in terms of speed, I can't compare with Zhang Dian.
"City Lord Zhang, you will personally investigate this matter next." Zhang Dian said solemnly, "You will find out the truth as soon as possible and restore peace to the surrounding city."
No warrior was brutally killed, and at the same time, a small amount of spiritual stones were stolen again. The news spread like thunder in the surrounding city instantly, making the already panicked city residents even more frightened.
After saying that, Zhang Dian took the lead and stepped into the cave. The cave was very dark, but Zhang Dian's Tai Chi eyes could see the road behind him. I stepped back cautiously, fearing that I would miss any detail.
