Chapter 4: The Lost Spiritual Root

"Can anyone explain to me what is going on?" Bai Feng pointed to the corpse on the ground and questioned the guards who were in charge of patrolling this place on the side, "It doesn't matter if it's in which alley, but now it's a person dying on the street, and you tell me that no one saw the murderer?"

A guard stepped forward with a wince, and said cautiously, "Report to the city lord, it's not that no one has seen it." It was the person who reported the crime that told us that this man did not die here, but that he was thrown from heaven after he died. ”

"Heavenly?" Bai Feng subconsciously looked up at the sky and frowned, "How is it possible?"

You must know that there are only two kinds of magic in the whole continent that can make people rise into the air, one is the flame burst of the fire attribute, and the other is the levitation technique of the rare attribute stroke attribute. If it is not too hard, the rapid growth of the wood attribute can also make people rise into the air. However, rapid growth is particularly prone to damage the terrain, and there are no signs of vegetation around it.

In the case of levitation, it will not leave any traces, but the flame burst will leave a area of flame-scorched at the casting site, which is also very conspicuous.

"Have you searched the surroundings?Did you find any traces?, such as traces of fire attribute magic?" Bai Feng asked the guard who spoke.

The guard thought about it for a moment and said, "When we arrived at the scene and saw the body, we immediately searched a five-mile radius. However, due to the short period of time, every corner has not been carefully searched, and nothing has been found for the time being. ”

After listening, Bai Feng began to think again. The Flame Burst requires an open place to cast spells, and there is no need to search those little corners. But in this case, there is only one possibility left.

"Where did the wind attribute mage come from?" Bai Feng had a headache, the appearance of every rare spirit root would become the focus of the public, and he would be watched by people wherever he went, and his whereabouts could be described as very obvious. However, I don't remember any wind attribute mages coming to the Five Cities area.

Besides, wind mages don't have many attack methods, and they don't have much power, and they generally serve as control units in the team. Except for fire mages who don't have any means of defense, wind mages can only kill mages of other attributes alone if they are level crushed.

"Where is the autopsy?" Bai Feng searched through the crowd.

"Your Excellency, do you want to perform an autopsy here?" the guard said with a puzzled expression, "There are people all around, and it will not affect the autopsy here." Otherwise, let the subordinates send the corpse to the autopsy, and when the results come out, the subordinates will report to the adults as soon as possible. ”

Bai Feng shook his head and said, "How many years have there been no homicides in Baicheng? Today, I will definitely solve this case as quickly as possible! I have already asked people to notify the autopsy when I go out, why hasn't he come yet?"

The guard replied, "Lord of the City, the place where the autopsy master works on weekdays is far away from here, and it may take a little later to arrive. ”

Speaking of Cao Cao, Cao Cao is here. A figure hurried over from a distance, carrying a satchel on his shoulder, the only autopsy in White City.

The autopsy master came to Bai Feng in a sweat, panting and said, "The villain has seen the city lord. ”

Bai Feng waved his hand and said, "No need to be polite, hurry up and do an autopsy, I want to know how this person died." Also, check what kind of attribute mage he is. ”

"Yes. The autopsy bowed his hand respectfully, then crouched down and began to examine the body. I saw him open his satchel, take out a large number of strange-shaped tools, and then skillfully dissect the corpse and examine the corpse with all kinds of strange tools.

It's just that if you want to know the fatal injury and the spirit root attribute, it won't take too long. After a stick of incense, the autopsy master put away his tools and stood up, came to Bai Feng and said, "City Lord, there are two kinds of scars on this person's body, one is caused by fire attribute magic, and the other is that the villain has never seen it. However, the villain is still learning from the teacher because he has seen the description of this kind of injury in the book, and the villain guesses that another injury comes from wind attribute magic. ”

"Sure enough, it's the wind. Bai Feng's eyes narrowed, "There is still fire? Are two people surrounding and killing one person? What kind of force is it that dares to kill people in my territory? If you are caught by me, even if you are a rare spirit root, I will kill you!"

The reason why rare attributes are called rare attributes is that they all appear singlely, except for rare. All the multi-attribute spiritual roots on the road are only combined with each other in the five element attributes, and I have never seen anyone whose multi-attribute spiritual roots are matched with five element attributes and rare attributes.

Therefore, Bai Feng guessed that the murderers were two people.

"There is one more thing, the villain is a little confused. The autopsy officer added, "This man is just an ordinary person, not a lawyer." Moreover, this person has never cultivated the physical body, nor is he a martial artist. ”

"What?" Bai Feng was stunned, "Are you sure?"

"Of course it's sure!" Speaking of his profession, the autopsy was still very confident, "This person doesn't have a spiritual root, just an ordinary person." ”

"Bastard!" Bai Feng was furious, and the magic element in his body suddenly burst out, forming a coercion that made people breathe miserable, "You actually dare to kill civilians on Lao Tzu's territory!

"Report!" one of Bai Feng's cronies ran over, "My lord, Bai Zong is here." ”

"Bai Zong?" Bai Feng said strangely, "What are the people of Bai Sect doing here?"

Bai Feng thought about it, could it be ......

Glancing at the corpse on the ground, Bai Feng rubbed his chin thoughtfully.

"My lord, the people of the Bai Sect have arrived at the mansion, and the lady is entertaining. Seeing Bai Feng's pensive look, his cronies couldn't help but remind.

"Got it. Bai Feng waved his hand, "Take this corpse, everyone go back with me." Oh yes, go to a guy and bring me the person who reported the crime. ”

In the City Lord's Mansion, Bai Feng walked in from outside the door, and at a glance saw a white-haired old man sitting on the main seat, and a middle-aged man who seemed to be about the same age as himself stood beside him.

Shangguan Han sat on the other side, constantly adding water to the teacup in the old man's hand.

Seeing Bai Feng coming back, the three of them looked at it together.

"Bai Feng, the city lord of Baicheng, has seen my lord. Bai Feng saluted the old man.

"No need to be polite. The old man put down the teacup and said lightly.

"I don't know if there is anything important for the adults to come here and come to the Humble House in person?" Bai Feng didn't say much else, and asked bluntly.

The middle-aged man beside the old man stepped forward and asked, "Lord Baicheng, do you know that among the people who have come and gone to Baicheng these days, is there a wind mage?"

Sure enough, this is the case! Bai Feng made up his mind in his heart.

"It turns out that that's your sect's mage!" Bai Feng said.

"Oh?" the middle-aged man's eyes lit up, "It seems that the White City Lord has seen it?" Great, bother the White City Lord to tell me which direction he went, or is it that someone else is still in the city?"

Bai Feng didn't answer immediately, but looked at the old man first, "I think this person is a key criminal of your sect?" ”

"Who told you that he was going to commit a crime?" the middle-aged man said with a strange expression, and then pointed to the old man and introduced to Bai Feng, "In Xia Qi Jiang, this is my master, Elder Shen Pingshen, the third elder of the Bai Sect. The wind mage I just talked about is my junior brother Wang Cangyou, and two days ago, my master received a distress signal from my junior brother, and the location was near Baicheng. ”

"Help?" Bai Feng was stunned, "Then why did he join forces with others to attack and kill civilians?"

"What are you talking about?" Qi Jiang raised his voice abruptly, "Murder with others? Impossible! Cang You has a gentle temperament, he is not an unreasonable person, no matter how he is, he will not kill civilians!"

"Really?" Bai Feng waved his hand, and several subordinates outside the door walked in carrying the corpse, "There was a murder in the west of the city this morning, and after the autopsy examiner's identification, it was found that the deceased had two kinds of injuries, fire attribute and wind attribute......

"Cangyou!" Before Bai Feng finished speaking, Qi Jiang over there suddenly let out a roar. In between, Qi Jiang rushed forward and snatched the corpse, holding the corpse and shouting to Shen Ping: "Master! This is Cangyou! Cangyou is dead!"

"What did you say?" When the corpse was just brought in, Shen Ping didn't even look at it, until he saw Qi Jiang's strange appearance, and then he looked over, "Cangyou!"

Shen Ping suddenly disappeared from his seat, and when he looked again, he was already standing behind Qi Jiang. With a lift of his hand, a magic array appeared in mid-air, casting a beam of light to cover the corpse.

After a long time, Shen Ping put away the magic array.

"How is the master, how did the junior brother die?" Qi Jiang hurriedly asked.

Shen Ping frowned tightly and said in a deep voice: "It's not much different from what the White City Lord said, there are traces left by the two elemental magic of fire and wind on Cangyou's body, which can be seen with the eyes. But the strange thing is that Cangyou's spiritual root is gone, no wonder the White City Lord would say that Cangyou is an ordinary person. ”

"The spiritual root is gone, what do you mean?" Qi Jiang was stunned.
