The footsteps in the courtyard disappeared abruptly, as if they had never been seen before.

Jiang Qing listened carefully for a long time, but she didn't hear any movement. She couldn't help but wonder, could it be that she had heard it wrong?

She was just about to get up when a voice suddenly sounded in the courtyard.

Jiang Qing didn't dare to move, and continued to listen.

"You Hanhan, how can there be any hut in Meiling, aren't you lying?" was Erya's voice.

Liu Datou's voice sounded, "I said you should be quiet, if you have anything to say, you can't go back to the house to say, what if you will be heard later?"

"No, Liu Datou, can you earn this money with a clear conscience?" Erya was dissatisfied and said angrily.

"My second girl, Miss Jiang has to find a cabin, what can I do? Even if I don't take her there, someone else, such as the iron egg dog and Li Da Hammer, they will definitely take her there!" Liu Datou lowered his voice and explained.

"Then I don't care, what others do, that's someone else's business. When Miss Jiang gets up, you can make it clear, otherwise this matter will not be over!" Er Ya was determined to let Liu Datou tell the truth.

"Well, why can't I explain it to you? You go back to the house with me, and we'll go in. Liu Datou said hurriedly.

"Don't pull and pull, I can walk ...... by myself" Erya's words later, Jiang Qing didn't listen carefully.

All I could hear was a soft closing of the door.

Being so troubled by the two of them, Jiang Qing was completely sleepy. Jiang Qing understood the conversation between Erya and Liu Datou just now. There is no cabin in this Meiling that she is looking for, could it be that the "Meiling" she saw when she sensed the fragments of the magic stone was not this Meiling?

If it's really wrong, then Jiang Qing ran away in vain this time.

But she took out her mobile phone and checked it on the Internet and found that there was no second place called Meiling, and if there was a duplicate name, Jiu Tian would definitely tell her.

Jiang Qing thinks that you still have to go deep into the forest to know if you are mistaken, maybe there is a log cabin in the forest, but Er Ya and Liu Datou don't know?

This statement is not convincing, but Liu Datou is also a woodcutter in the mountains, as a person who stays in the mountains and forests all the year round, will he not know if there is a wooden house in the forest?

Jiang Qing was a little uncertain, she came here, and she just left, she was really unwilling. In any case, she had to go on this trip today.

At about half past seven in the morning, Erya called Jiang Qing to eat. During this period, Erya wanted to speak several times and stopped, but Jiang Qing did not break it. Liu Datou is right about one thing, even if he doesn't take Jiang Qing in, Jiang Qing will find someone else to lead the way, and the result is the same.

And this little money, Jiang Qing doesn't care. If you can find a cabin, it doesn't matter if you spend a little more.

Liu Datou gave Jiang Qing a woodcutter, Jiang Qing held it in his hand and felt a little heavy.

"It's not safe in the mountains, take a firewood knife to defend yourself. As he spoke, Liu Datou also gave Jiang Qing a pair of gloves and a pot of water.

Jiang Qing carried these things on his back and carefully sailed the ship of ten thousand years. Regardless of the outcome of this trip, she must first ensure her personal safety.

If even she has an accident and wants to find Ji Chen, it will be even more hopeless.

Today, there were several other woodcutters who were traveling with them, and several of them were talking and laughing along the way. Because they communicated in dialects, Jiang Qing didn't understand what they said.

At a fork in the road, several people parted ways. Because chopping firewood is not the same road into the mountain, usually when chopping wood, the woodcutters do not go deep into the forest, so Jiang Qing is not suspicious.

She and Liu Datou hadn't walked a few steps when they suddenly heard a sharp scream.

The voice came from the other side, the direction in which the woodcutters had left. Liu Datou's face changed for a while, and he said, "Miss Jiang, there seems to be an accident over there, I want to go over and take a look." ”

Jiang Qing was a little hesitant, after all, human life was at stake, and she agreed with Liu Datou's decision.

By the time they arrived, there was only a pool of blood on the ground and a strange row of footprints.

What's strange about this footprint is its depth, and what's going on with that row of handprints?

Who walks on two hands and two feet?

This is too weird, Liu Datou has never encountered this situation, and looking at this pool of blood, it is obvious that the woodcutters who separated from him just now have all been killed.

But there was no body nearby, which made Liu Datou panic.

Jiang Qing's heart became very heavy, and the appearance of such a strange thing showed one thing - Ji Chen was very likely to be in this forest.

But she can't say this kind of thing, because now that someone is dead, if she talks too much, it will be difficult to explain afterwards. Again, according to Liu Datou and Erya's temperament, they will inevitably call the police, and when the police intervene, this matter will become more complicated.

Therefore, Jiang Qing decided that she must find Ji Chen today!

Jiang Qing didn't plan to let Liu Datou continue to lead her forward, taking advantage of the fact that the life and death of these people were unknown, she used this as a reason to branch Liu Datou and let him go back to the village to call people, she said that she would wait for him here.

Liu Datou didn't agree with Jiang Qing at first, because it was too dangerous to do so, but at Jiang Qing's insistence, Liu Datou still agreed.

As soon as Liu Datou left, Jiang Qing followed the bloodstains and footprints along the way, and quickly chased after him.

Jiang Qing didn't know how long she had been chasing, and the footprints on the ground were suddenly gone. As for where she went, Jiang Qing didn't find it.

"Is it up to the tree?" Jiang Qing looked up at the tall tree, and did not rule out the possibility that the murderer was on the tree.

She put on the gloves given to her by Liu Datou and followed her up the tree.

Sure enough, she found blood on the tree.

Jiang Qing chased after him along the way and found the bodies of the woodcutters. The corpses of these people have a characteristic, that is, their hearts have been dug up.

The death was miserable, his eyes were empty, and he was clearly very frightened before he died, and his face was a little distorted.

Jiang Qing couldn't bear to look at it directly, seeing this scene, she had a crazy thought in her head.

Could this be done by Ji Chen?

Being able to walk on your hands and feet is no longer human. Jiang Qing guessed that if Ji Chen was eaten by Kui Long, it was very likely that he would become a thoughtless killing machine.

But this doesn't seem to make sense, because Kui Long is a monster with only one leg, and if it really controls Ji Chen, the footprints on the ground will not be hands and feet.

Therefore, the more this matter is investigated, the more bottomless Jiang Qing's heart becomes.

On the one hand, she hoped that the person she found would be Ji Chen, but on the other hand, she hoped that it was not.

Even if Ji Chen is still in a coma now, Jiang Qing can accept it, because it is like Ji Chen becoming a murderous beast, right?

Jiang Qing grabbed the vines and shuttled through the forest.

These vines were far stronger than she had imagined, and Jiang Qing was just dangling in the forest.

When Liu Datou arrived with someone, he found that Jiang Qing was not waiting for him at the place where the two had agreed, and he was immediately dumbfounded.

He hurriedly shouted Jiang Qing several times, and the only thing that responded to him was the crow's cry, which made Liu Datou very uneasy.

Erya stretched out her hand and pinched Liu Datou's waist, and said, "You elm head, what are you doing here with Miss Jiang, won't you call her to go back together?"

"How did I know something was going to happen to her. "Liu Datou is also very angry.

As soon as he said this, everyone tacitly acquiesced that Jiang Qing was killed.

I've already taken several lives, and now I've lost another one. These people were afraid that something would happen again, so after asking the village chief to call the police, they went back together.

When they came, everyone either held a hoe or a firewood knife in their hands, and when they went back, the big guys didn't stop. Something so big happened, they were also afraid of what monsters would be killed on the way, and so many people had died, and ordinary beasts had no such threat at all.

It was noon, the hottest time of the day in the woods. Yesterday there was obviously rain, but today it was suddenly sunny, this cold and hot, Jiang Qing's body was a little uncomfortable.

Suddenly, she saw the street sign she had seen when she sensed the shards of the Philosopher's Stone.

Meiling.

These two words were exactly the same as the ones she had seen before.

It's just that there's a small line of print underneath.

Written:

Wild beasts in the deep mountains are infested, and outsiders are not allowed to enter.

This street sign, Jiang Qing confirmed, is undoubtedly the side that he saw when he detected the fragments of the Philosopher's Stone. It seems that she is looking for the right place, and the cabin in the forest should not be far from here.

Jiang Qing seemed to have been greatly encouraged, and her confidence doubled, she was still a little lazy before, but now she felt that she had inexhaustible strength.

She couldn't see the monster's footprints, and she didn't continue to wander around the trees. She came to find Ji Chen on this trip, not to solve any beasts, and she really met, with her current ability, it is not certain who will clean up whom.

After rushing for a while, Jiang Qing finally saw the cabin in the distance.

A relieved smile appeared on her face.

Got it!

It's been found!

Jiang Qing was just about to take a step, when suddenly, a figure fell from the tree, startling Jiang Qing a lot.

The man was scorched, without a single strand on his body, and his eyes were covered with a white cloth.

His fingernails were long, as if they hadn't been trimmed in years.

Jiang Qing felt that the strange man in front of him who looked like charcoal was a little familiar, as if it was ......

Long Xiao'an?!

But she wasn't sure, because when Black Rose sacrificed and refined Long Xiao'an, she refined Long Xiao'an into an existence comparable to Purple Zombie.

Purple stiff is covered with purple hair, will it be like this scorched appearance?

And Jiang Qing clearly remembered that Hei Mei had said that the Purple Devil had been destroyed, could it be that Hei Mei had been deceiving her since then?

The situation is critical, and Jiang Qing can't afford to think about it. The charred man, prostrate on the ground, fierce as a beast at her.

Jiang Qing couldn't see his eyes, but the other party's expression, as well as the strange sound in his throat, were exactly the same as the warning issued by the beast before it attacked.

She clenched the firewood knife in her hand and waited for it.

Saying anything, you can't stop here, no matter whether this strange person is the murderer of those woodcutters before, you can't stop Jiang Qing's way!
