Chapter 90: Qin Tian's Speculation
None of the inner disciples guarding the Elixir Peak knew Qin Tian, and one of them asked solemnly, "This is the important place of the Sun Moon Sect, you can't trespass, who is coming?"
"Two senior brothers, I am Qin Tian, an outer disciple of the Sun Moon Sect," Qin Tian directly said what he meant: "I took over the task of investigating the theft of the Elixir Garden in the mission hall, this is my identity nameplate, you can check it." ”
Qin Tian took down his identity nameplate and threw it to the inner disciple who asked him, acting very naturally, not afraid of these two inner disciples embarrassing him at all.
The inner disciple who asked the question was named Lei Hong, he carefully checked Qin Tian's identity nameplate, and after making sure that there was no problem, he returned the identity nameplate to Qin Tian, glanced at Qin Tian, and found that Qin Tian was very young but couldn't see through Qin Tian's cultivation.
Lei Hong exchanged glances with another inner disciple, Guo Jin, and then kindly reminded Qin Tian: "Senior Brother Qin Tian, we didn't expect you to take on the extremely difficult task, it's not that we underestimate you, but we're worried that you won't be able to complete the task, are you sure you want to continue this task?"
"Thank you for your kindness. Qin Tian felt that the two of them were kind, so he spoke politely: "Don't worry, if I don't have a little certainty, then I don't dare to take on such a task, I don't know if one of the two senior brothers can lead me to the Elixir Garden?"
"Since you insist on continuing the mission, then you can come with me. Lei Hong turned around and climbed along the mountain road, because the elixir garden was halfway up the mountain, where the sun was abundant, and the key was to have a spiritual spring, which could be used as a cultivation resource and could also be used to water the elixir.
Qin Tian hugged his fist at Guo Jin, and then followed Lei Hong up the mountain, and it took about half an hour to reach the open space outside the gate of the Elixir Garden halfway up the mountain.
咻 ~ 咻 ~ 咻 ~ 咻 ~
Four vigorous figures burst out from nearby, and judging from their appearance, they should be the inner disciples of the elixir garden who are close guarding.
Among them, the eldest cultivator was the best inner disciple, his eyes swept over Qin Tian and Lei Hong vigilantly, they naturally recognized Lei Hong but didn't know Qin Tian, so they pointed at Qin Tian and asked Lei Hong, "Senior Brother Lei Hong, who is this person? What are you doing here?"
"Back to Senior Brother Zhang Zheng, this junior brother's name is Qin Tian, he is an outer disciple, this time he came here to take over the extremely difficult task of investigating the theft of the elixir, and I would like to ask Senior Brother Zhang Zheng to make it convenient?"
"Oh?" Zhang Zheng was slightly surprised, his eyes carefully glanced at Qin Tian, and said with some suspicion: "Senior Brother Qin Tian, are you sure?"
"Senior Brother Zhang Zheng, I haven't surveyed the Elixir Garden yet, so I can't talk too much, what do you say?" Qin Tian skillfully replied to Zhang Zheng's words.
"That's right. Zhang Zheng's face straightened, and he said with some seriousness: "Senior Brother Qin Tian, since you have taken over the task, then we will let you enter the elixir garden, provided that you can't mess with the elixir, let alone damage the elixir, otherwise we can only take you down and wait for the sect to fall, do you understand?"
"Can't damage the elixir?" Qin Tian frowned slightly, and raised his concerns: "Senior brothers, if I have a fight with a thief, then it is difficult to avoid damaging an elixir, what do you say?"
"This ......" Zhang Zheng and the others glanced at each other, all thinking about the question raised by Qin Tian, and finally Zhang Zheng replied:
"Senior Brother Qin Tian, if you can really find the thief and break out into battle, then I hope you try to transfer the battlefield out of the elixir garden as much as possible, if there is an unexpected loss of the elixir, we can truthfully report it to the sect, and you should not be held responsible, after all, you are here to take the task, are you satisfied with this answer?"
"Okay, thank you for your understanding. Qin Tian nodded, his eyes swept over the elixir garden, and found that the elixir garden was not small, estimated to be five acres.
"Come with me. Zhang Zheng opened the iron door of the Elixir Garden and walked in first, but the other inner disciples did not enter.
Qin Tian hugged his fists at the inner disciples outside, and stepped in without hesitation, his divine sense was strong, and he was not afraid of whether there was danger inside, and he knew that the sect disciples here did not know his reputation in the sect, which made it more convenient for him to act.
Entering the Elixir Garden, Qin Tian's eyes swept and found that there were many types of elixirs planted in the Elixir Garden, and there were many types and grades of elixirs, which showed that the wealth of the Sun Moon Sect was very good.
Qin Tian didn't have any feelings about the elixir, so naturally he didn't have any idea about the elixir, he demanded at Lei Hong: "Senior Brother Lei Hong, please take me to the area where the elixir has been lost, and then I don't have to trouble you." ”
"Okay, follow me. Lei Hong nodded in agreement, led the way in front, and walked to the innermost area of the best elixir, then stopped and said:
"This elixir is the main area where the mysterious thieves visit, you can check it out here slowly, I have something to do when I go out, if you need anything, you can go to the wooden building next to the elixir garden to find me or other senior brothers." ”
"There's Senior Brother Lao. Qin Tian expressed his gratitude, because he didn't feel Lei Hong's hostility for the time being, so he treated him with sincerity.
Seeing Lei Hong leave, Qin Tian withdrew his gaze and set his sights on this elixir area, and at the same time released his powerful divine sense to cover this elixir area, and began to search for clues about the thief, hoping to be able to deduce whether the thief was a human or a beast?
"This small area is most obviously guarded by thieves. Qin Tian walked slowly while observing and perceiving, and when he came to an area where a small piece of elixir was missing, he stopped and crouched down to observe the details of the destruction up close.
"These elixirs that only leave the roots have obvious sharp teeth biting notches, and it seems that this thief is really a beast, and a cunning monster with a small size. Qin Tian quickly had a more prepared judgment and had a bottom in his heart.
"Huh?" Just as Qin Tian wanted to stand up, he found a slender and shiny beast hair like white silk lying on the edge of a weed, so he stretched out his right hand and pinched it and put it in the palm of his left hand to observe it carefully.
Qin Tian observed the beast hair for a while, then sniffed the smell of the beast hair with his nose, the corners of his mouth hooked a curvature, and whispered with a smile:
"If I'm not mistaken, then this thief should be a demon fox, and his strength is not bad, at least it should be a three-tailed demon fox, because only a three-tailed or more demon fox has the ability to hide its body. ”
"Not true. Qin Tian stood up, his head suddenly remembered some important information, his brows furrowed slightly, and he said to himself with some seriousness:
"Senior Sister Mengxue said, there are elders from the inner gate who have come here to squat but have not found the demon fox, and the strength of the spiritual consciousness of the demon fox exceeds the strength of the inner elder's divine consciousness, so the strength of the demon fox is very likely to reach the demon venerable realm, that is to say, the demon fox is a five-tailed demon fox with good strength. ”
The demon fox is a relatively special kind of demon beast, because the intelligence of this race is relatively much smarter than that of other demon beast races, and when they evolve in the realm of strength, there is a significant change in body size, which is mainly manifested in the number of tails.
The demon fox in the Demon Disciple Realm has only one tail, which is called the one-tailed demon fox, and the demon fox in the Demon Master Realm has two tails, called the two-tailed demon fox, and so on, the demon fox in the Demon Venerable Realm has five tails.
The strength of the Demon Venerable Realm Demon Fox is comparable to that of the martial artists of the Martial Venerable Realm, but they have a special ability - concealment, which is similar to the stealth technique of the Terran killer, and can easily evade the perception of enemies of equal or weak strength.
