Volume 1: The Hidden Dragon in the Abyss Chapter 18: The Viper Trail

The old man seemed to have remembered something, his expression was solemn, and he said in a deep voice: "This morning, the old man of the Federation Chu sent an order, saying that it was for us to go to the southwest of the country to find a mysterious item, and his old man instructed us to hurry up and find it at all costs. Inform him as soon as you have the news. ”

"Cheng Lao, what kind of mysterious item, don't you have a specific description, could it be that it is some kind of rare ore?" Bing Xin Liu frowned slightly, and his expression was very puzzled.

"I don't know what it is, but since Chu Lao has passed the word, it must be very important, let's try to find it. Everything that is strange is in the category of suspicion. ”

"It just so happened that Du Yi and they were also handling cases in Caiyun Province this time. Caiyun Province happens to be in the southwest corner, you clean up tomorrow, go do this, and urge Du Yi and them by the way. Cheng Lao instructed Bingxin.

After coming out of the old man's residence, Bingxin quickly took out his mobile phone, and after a while, he booked a ticket to Chuncheng City, Caiyun Province.

Bingxin, this girl, has always done things like this, she is vigorous and resolute, she can be one step earlier, never one step later. Obviously Cheng Lao asked her to go to the southwest tomorrow, but she couldn't wait, and wanted to rush over overnight.

In a guest house in Nanli City, Du Yi was holding the phone in cold sweat, and his expression gradually became more and more gloomy.

It's been two days since I came here, and I thought it would be a simple case of gang terrorism. When you get your hands on it, you can walk away when you find something.

Who knew that as this case deepened, Du Yi felt that what was revealed in it seemed to be getting more and more complicated.

In the case of the research institute, through unconventional means of surveillance, they immediately locked down the local Viper gang rudder. and immediately found the culprit of this case, that is, the trace of the high-ranking figure of the Vipers Gang, Golden Snake.

Who knows if it was a coincidence when they were about to close the net last night, or if the other party heard the wind in advance and ran away before they came. Let them run away in vain without saying anything, listening to the signal source, and there is no news at all.

This is not over, before Du Yi and the others can come to their senses, he received news from Xiong Tian that in an underground casino on the outskirts of Nanli City, another case of more than a dozen deaths occurred.

After the three of Du Yi hurried over, the terrifying bloody scene in the courtyard made the three of Du Yi's scalps tingle.

The power to break people in half with one punch is a small internal strength, which is equivalent to the strength of a Xuan-level martial artist, and is in the same martial arts realm as their captain Bingxin.

Xuan-level martial arts master, there is only one person Du Yi knows in Nanli City, and that is the Viper Gang master Golden Snake.

And this case that happened in the casino, after Du Yi speculated, he felt that it should not be the master of the Viper Gang, Golden Snake. They belong to a gang, and even if there are differences and frictions, it is impossible for such a fierce fight to occur. Therefore, the golden snake can be completely excluded.

When did this small Nanli City have another Xuan-level master. He Du Yi is only a yellow-level strength, and he is already under a lot of pressure in the face of a golden snake.

If he faced this Xuan-level master who suddenly appeared, Du Yi felt that if he was not careful, he might be glorious in this small city.

"Sikong, has the mobile phone signal of the high-level golden snake of the Viper Gang reappeared?" Du Yi sat back on the bed, rubbed his eyebrows and asked.

"Brother Du, I have been closely monitored, and I have not reappeared since the signal disappeared last night. Sikong Hao glanced at the laptop screen in front of him and replied.

"Brother Du, you said that why don't we bring back the young man named Gu Feng yesterday and the old man surnamed Zhao for interrogation. Sikong Hao pondered for a while and said.

"Alas!"

When Du Yi heard this, he sighed lightly and said, "It's not easy to do, these two people are obviously victims, if we don't have definite evidence, it's not easy to do anything." Besides, as it stands, there's no need for that. ”

"We now have to find the golden snake first, and then through the golden snake to know the whereabouts of the two missing people in the research institute that night, and finally we can find the ancient fossils and complete the task. ”

"Brother Du, I've always had a question, I don't know whether to say it or not. Sikong took out a cigarette and lit it, and took a puff of the quiet road.

"Oh!" When Du Yi heard this, he glanced at Sikong Hao in surprise and said, "What is there, you can say it." ”

Sikong Hao groaned, took a deep puff of smoke, and then exhaled a misty smoke, the smoke briefly condensed on Sikong Hao's face, which actually made him feel a sense of mystery.

After a long time, Sikong Hao said slowly: "When I saw the young man named Gu Feng for the first time yesterday, I smelled a very strange smell. ”

"Well, you said that, but don't you remember what it smells like? Du Yi asked thoughtfully.

"Yes, I was thinking about it for a long time, but I can't remember where I smelled it, but when you were on the phone with the captain just now, I suddenly remembered something. Sikong Hao stared at Du Yi and said.

"Well, you go on. Du Yi nodded and motioned for Sikong Hao to continue.

Sikong Hao paused and said, "I remember that in May of the previous year, there was a newly promoted prefecture-level master in our group. At that time, I was in charge of duty in the retreat room that day, and Cheng Lao asked me to take the prefecture-level master to the base to meet him. ”

"If I remember correctly, there seemed to be a strange smell on the newly promoted prefecture-level master at that time. It smelled strange, the first time I could smell it in my olfactory memory. ”

"In the end, when I listened to Cheng Lao's conversation with the prefecture-level master, I learned that the prefecture-level master had taken a mysterious life essence solution in the group to break through. ”

"And the so-called life essence, in the end, I heard the experts in the group say that it is actually a high-nutrient energy liquid extracted from some animals and plants, and the suspected ancient dinosaur egg fossils we are looking for this time may be such things. ”

"The smell of the young man named Gu Feng awakened my olfactory memory, and I am very sure that the smell is very similar to the smell emitted by the prefecture-level masters in the group. ”

Sikong Hao held a cigarette in his hand and tried to recall, but he didn't even notice that the ash had fallen on the carpet.

Regarding the authenticity of Sikong Hao's words, Du Yi never doubted that he was specialized in the art industry, and he still admired Sikong Hao very much in terms of smell.

Therefore, hearing Sikong Hao say this, Du Yi was taken aback, and immediately thought of something, and said: "You mean that Gu Feng, that young man, has come into contact with or taken this so-called life essence. ”

Sikong Hao looked at Du Yi with a solemn expression, nodded, and said solemnly: "If my olfactory memory didn't deceive me, it should be so." ”

"That means that the ancient fossil we are looking for this time, if there is a life essence, wouldn't it have been absorbed by Gu Feng?"

"Well, you can't be wrong, when I interrogated Gu Feng yesterday, he mentioned that his father Gu Guohua gave him a backpack, but in the end he said that the bag was lost. Sikong Hao extinguished the cigarette butt in his hand and said with great certainty.

"Yes, you can't be wrong, that backpack must contain ancient fossils, and he may also have absorbed the life essence in the ancient fossils, otherwise he can't have that special smell on his body. The more Sikong Hao spoke, the more excited he became, and he couldn't help but stand up happily.

"Stupid!" Xiong Dashan, who had been silent, looked at Sikong Hao with disdain and said.

"Eh...... Stupid big man, who are you talking about, you tell me clearly, or I won't be done with you. ”

Sikong Hao was stunned by Xiong Dashan's sudden popping out of two words, and suddenly jumped up like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, and angrily pointed at Xiong Dashan and shouted angrily.

Looking at Sikong Hao's excited and angry appearance, Xiong Dashan sat on the bed, looking lazy, unmoved.

"You are stupid and you are still not convinced, do you know how my horizontal refining power came from? When I was a child, I accidentally ingested a few drops of the blood of the White Bear King for hundreds of years, and finally my body began to mutate. After more than ten years of training, I have the ability to do it today. Xiong Dashan still looked at Sikong Hao with disdain and said slowly.

I remember that year, when my father found me in the black bear den, a white bear king happened to appear and wanted to eat me and my father. Then my father and the black bear fought the white bear king, the black bear died on the spot, and my father took the opportunity to severely damage the white bear king's heart, and a few drops of the white bear king's heart blood splashed in my mouth. ”

seems to recall the past, Xiong Dashan, who has always been a big grin and reckless man, has a delicate and soft look of reminiscence on his face.

"At that time, I was so hot that I almost died, and in the end, my father did not hesitate to expend his internal strength to dissolve the domineering energy of the White Bear King's heart. Otherwise, with my body that didn't have any martial arts foundation at the time, I would have exploded and died. ”

"Sikong, think about it again, does that young man look like he has a yellow-level martial arts and above, if he really absorbs the life essence of the ancient fossils, unless it was a ghost that we saw yesterday. "Xiong Dashan turned out to be a rare and methodical analysis.

After Xiong Dashan finished speaking, the room fell silent for a while, and Du Yi and Sikong Hao stopped talking.

As the old saying goes, the bear's heart and leopard's gall, in the eyes of ordinary people, describes a person's courage and courage. But for the warriors, these two are rare genius treasures, and they are the things that the warriors dream of increasing their skills to break through the realm, of course, they must be the bear king or the leopard king who have lived for hundreds of years.

Regarding Xiong Dashan's analysis, Du Yi and Sikong Hao thought about it for a while, and they understood that what he said was right. In the past few years in the dragon group, although there are not many breakthroughs that rely on life essence, there are still a few cases.

Generally, it is a martial artist with strength above the Xuan level who dares to absorb those things that contain high energy, otherwise, it will inevitably backfire. The light ones were all gone, and the heavy ones exploded and died on the spot.

Of course, if you use these things and some medicinal materials to refine the pill, low-level martial artists can also take it and get better results.

But this kind of alchemy method that is similar to cultivating immortals in legends, except for some ancient martial arts families and ancient martial arts sects that have been inherited, others will not alchemy this high-end and high-grade method at all.

As for the elixir, in today's end-of-life cultivation world, it is completely a rare treasure with no price.

For a while, Sikong Hao began to have a little self-doubt about his special sense of smell. He felt that his internal fire had been a bit big recently, and his sense of smell had begun to deviate.
