When the mangrove camps were established, logs were brought to build walls, stone embankments, and wooden planks, but the ground of each house was not paved with floors, but the ground of the tidal flats was compacted. It was easy to leave footprints on the ground in this way, and the ground that was now presented in front of the four people, although someone deliberately splashed water and stepped flat to cover it, still could not hide the dense wolf paw prints.

The wolves entered the camp from this room!

This room was locked from the inside before!

Thinking of this, Jacques immediately removed the steel shield from his back and drew his sword, Fabian also took out his bow and put on the arrow, and Emma and Alyssa also tightened their weapons, searching around for enemies that might appear at any time.

In the small room, next to the door was a row of shelves made of fine mahogany a foot wide, on which were scattered pots and pans and some wilted vegetables. There are two large wooden barrels next to the shelves, which are about the same as water.

Directly opposite the doorway is a half-metre-high brick stove, on which a forgotten iron cauldron still sits along. In the corner of the room were bundles of dry branches, which were used to make fires.

Alyssa lifted the lid to inspect the cauldron and stovetop, Fabian flipped through dry branches for clues that might be hiding behind, and Jacques tapped his sword against the wooden wall to find the secret door.

Emma lifted the lid of a wooden barrel and looked inside, and the small half bucket of water was crystal clear.

So I lifted another lid, and it was empty.

The four of them, who had found nothing, looked at each other, and the room was full of doubts and frustration.

Emma suddenly had an idea, walked over to the wooden barrel with half a bucket of water, and pushed it down, causing the water to spread through the room with a bang.

Fat Orange jumped on top of Jacques to prevent its paws from getting wet with water.

The group of four then noticed that the water was converging towards the place where the dry wood was stacked and gradually disappearing, eventually leaving a square fine line on the ground.

Jacques stepped forward and inserted his sword into the fine lines, swinging from side to side as the lines widened and the soil shook to reveal the edge of a small plank.

There's a secret door here.

Jacques continued to use his sword to lift the wooden door, and below it was a hole in the dirt, and a few rough steps led to the ground, and it was too dark to see clearly.

Fat Orange, who was standing on Jacques's shoulder, sniffed the air wafting from the mouth of the cave, and said to Jacques with his heart: "The wolves came out of here, although the giant clawed wolves are earth-based alien beasts, but they don't dig holes, this hole is like the earth-based transcendents dug by them." ”

Alyssa looked into the cave and said, "Shall we go down and have a look?"

Jacques replied, "No, the other side of the hole may have been blocked, the giant clawed wolf will not dig a hole, this hole and the cover of the ground are made by man." ”

"Did people do it?" the three of them exclaimed in unison.

Jacques explained Fat Tangerine's analysis to his friends, and said: "Seeing this hole, many questions have been explained before, there may be more than one transcendent person helping this group of wolves, I judge that there are three."

The first one is the one who digs the hole. The entrance to this hole should be in the verbena field we just crossed. Digging a hole in the soft tidal flats will make it difficult to save it until the next rainy season, and the diggers should have dug the hole not long before the camp was used, and the entrances and exits were covered.

After letting the wolves enter the camp, this earth-based transcendent locked the door of the house, covered up the wolf's footprints, and went back to the cave to evacuate, not forgetting to cover the hole again with dirt.

If it weren't for our clever Emma, we wouldn't have been able to find out if we were standing on top of the hole. ”

Emma's left index finger wrapped around the tip of the Mithril whip, and Jacques lowered her eyes in embarrassment at Jacques' praise.

Jacques continued: "The second transcendent is easy to guess, he is the one who controls this pack of wolves, if someone helps the wolves dig holes and guide the way, then there must be someone who controls the wolf pack, the type of family like the giant clawed wolf can give birth to offspring of alien beasts, as long as you control the head wolf, you can control the entire wolf pack. This would also explain why the wolves would take the initiative to attack the hordes of transcendents, because the owner told them to do it. ”

Alyssa asked, "How do you control the head wolf?"

Fabian replied: "The transcendents of the natural system can do it, this is the skill of the indigenous tribes in the north of the New World, you are from the southern Pappas, it is normal that you have not heard of it, if I were not from the natural department, I would not pay attention to these."

Alien beasts are ordinary beasts that have awakened, and the northern natives have some secret methods to actively evolve ordinary beasts into alien beasts. Therefore, as long as the cub of the giant clawed wolf cultivated with animal affinity is evolved into a strange beast by secret methods, after becoming a foreign beast, it will still obey the orders of its master, and will restrain and train its offspring to obey the orders of the master. ”

Jacques continued, "But this method of evolving an ordinary beast has a rare inheritance, and it is also rare in the New World, and it will take nearly ten years to raise a wolf pack of this size. Such a person who has been in contact with wolves for a long time must have the smell of wolves, and it cannot be a person from the camp, and I suspect that he was evacuated from the cave along with the earth-based transcendents who were digging the cave. ”

Emma asked, "Brother Jacques, why are they two people? Couldn't they be the same person?"

Alyssa rubbed Emma's head and said, "Little fool, if you master the earth system and the natural system alone, you will be a grandmaster, and you can easily kill everyone in the camp." Why do you have to control the wolves to attack. ”

Closing the wooden door that covered the hole in the ground, Jacques put his sword back into its sheath and said to his friends, "The third person is my guess. Suppose the first two people make a plan, dig the tunnel in advance, wait for the academy's experience team to come here, and they have a reason to attack the academy's students and mentors.

But it is impossible to explain why the first to be attacked was Lily, who was in the barracks more than thirty meters away.

So I guess there's also an internal response, or someone who has infiltrated the camp a long time ago, and has used some method to obscure the sight and senses of the people in the camp, but I can't think of any source energy skills that can. ”

"Bang Bang!"

Fabian applauded, followed by Alysia and Emma.

Fabian said, "Jacques, you can be a detective, Detective Jacques, haha." ”

Jacques stopped Fabian's quip and said, "It's getting late, let's go back, I want to tell Lily about the news, and she'll take care of the rest." ”

In fact, Fat Orange really wanted to continue the investigation, but unfortunately the thirteen-year-old Jacques was much calmer than Fat Orange, an old monster who didn't know how many years he had lived, and when he knew that the attack was man-made, he immediately decided to evacuate this place of right and wrong.

A sense of unease filled Jacques's heart, and despite the chatter of the fat orange field, Jacques led his friends to quickly evacuate the camp, returned to the carriage the same way, and returned to the town of Kalange at three o'clock in the afternoon.

Jacques rushes to the town office to inform Lily of what he has discovered, while Fabian takes the two girls on a tour of the town of Kalange.

Lily learns of the existence of the tunnel and Jacques' explanation of how to control the giantclawed wolf pack, narrows her beautiful blue eyes and falls into thought.

"Don't tell anyone about what you find out today, I'll find a way to investigate. Thank you for your hard work, but don't risk it next time, even if there is no left giant clawed wolf in the mangrove forest, there may be other strange beasts, and it is too dangerous for you to do so. Lily said with concern.

Jacques nodded yes hurriedly, "Mm-hmm, don't dare next time, Mentor Lily." By the way, yesterday I came to the Bureau of Investigation before Commissioner Henry came to me, and he asked me to tell your father what happened in the Bureau of Investigation at that time. ”

"What's the situation?"

......

When Jacques left, Lily, who was even more preoccupied, was lying on the bed, with a novel about the sectarian struggle of a thousand years ago, "The Battle of Fire and Ice," which she couldn't read at all.
