Seeing that Zhong Ling was extremely serious, I felt that she didn't deliberately make excuses not to go back, she seemed to really know the news of the drought.

I immediately looked at Xu Xinyi in embarrassment, "Why don't you let her go with me, and I will personally send her back to see her father in the future?" ”

Xu Xinyi obviously didn't expect Zhong Ling to come to such a hand, and she was stunned at the moment.

"Sister Xinyi, go back by yourself, you can talk to my father, I will definitely go back obediently after a while." Zhong Ling hurriedly sat down next to Xu Xinyi and lied to her.

Xu Xinyi hesitated for a long time, looked at me, then at Zhong Ling, shook her head and said with a wry smile: "Okay, you are with Lord Jin, maybe Lord Zhong can understand." ”

Zhong Ling nodded happily: "Sister Xinyi, you are so good!" ”

In the end, Xu Xinyi could only leave alone, and we also said goodbye to Zhang Yi and prepared to go to the Dragon and Tiger Sect immediately, and then go to find the Drought Fish.

However, Zhong Ling, this girl, still kept an eye on me, and refused to tell me the news of the drought now, and after I left the Dragon and Tiger Sect, she would take me personally.

The Dragon and Tiger Sect is not far from the emperor, and if you walk a few hundred kilometers further north, you can reach a place with mountains, rivers and grasslands, and if you find a Baitou Mountain that Wang Yicheng told me, you can find the Dragon and Tiger Sect.

However, these hundreds of kilometers are not easy to walk, listening to Wang Yicheng, there are mountains and rivers everywhere, and there are many places that cannot be crossed by land escape techniques.

"Don't you know how to escape from the sky, I can't use the place where I can use the earth to escape the technique, you can use the space escape technique to take us there."

Jin Lin immediately thought of Zhong Ling's means and said immediately.

"I... I have just learned the Void Escape Technique, so I can only perform it by myself, not with others. Zhong Ling smiled awkwardly.

I immediately said angrily: "No wonder your father didn't let you go out, it must be because you were usually lazy and refused to cultivate well to lock you up." ”

Zhong Ling rolled his eyes: "How hard it is to cultivate, hmph, no matter how lazy I am, I am better than you." ”

Jin Lin and I were speechless for a moment, this is the truth, we are not her opponents combined, alas, I really don't know who her parents are, so that she can have the physique of a human ghost at the same time.

In the end, we can only let Jin Lin use the Void Escape Technique to escape all the way to the place where the Void Escape Technique can't be used, and then Zhong Ling will take me to find Jin Lin with the Void Escape Technique.

In this way, we are only two mountains away from the Dragon and Tiger Sect.

The two mountains were covered with trees, and from time to time there were the sounds of birds and the faint roars of wild beasts.

Next, Jin Lin had no way to use the land escape technique, he could only climb the mountain, Zhong Ling and I were very relaxed, even if she didn't use the escape technique, I could float directly to the mountain, this is another benefit of being a ghost, it is not difficult to walk.

Jin Lin was more hard, but he had no choice but to grit his teeth and climb the mountain, fortunately his health was good, and he crossed a mountain in half a day.

"Hey, you see, there's a village at the foot of the mountain."

As soon as he crossed the mountain, Zhong Ling pointed down and shouted in surprise.

When I looked, there was a small village at the foot of these two mountains.

At this time, the village was cooking with smoke, and it was time to cook dinner.

I looked up at the sky, it was already evening at this time, I couldn't let Jin Lin climb another mountain in the dark, so I just stayed in the village tonight and left early tomorrow morning.

Jin Lin immediately agreed to my proposal, and Zhong Ling also clapped his hands and said, "Okay, there must be something interesting in the village." ”

This girl is just thinking about playing.

With that, we immediately set off for the mountain and rushed to the village below before it was dark.

However, as soon as he was halfway down the mountain, Jin Lin's brows furrowed: "Something is wrong." ”

I asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Jin Lin looked at Zhong Ling: "You can smell it too." ”

Zhong Ling's little face also became solemn, and he nodded and said, "Well, the smell of blood is getting stronger and stronger." ”

The smell of blood?

In the ghost state, I can only smell yang and yin, and I can't smell other smells, which is also a disadvantage of being a ghost, so I haven't noticed anything abnormal.

I quickly asked, "Is it the smell of human blood?" ”

They shook their heads: "No, it's an animal." ”

Animal?

I immediately said: "You people who don't eat the fireworks of the world are really rare and strange, there is another village at the foot of the mountain, the villagers must go up the mountain to hunt, a little bloody smell is not normal, no ghost can hide our senses." ”

Jin Lin was stunned for a moment, and suddenly said, "That's the case." ”

"Hmph, I don't eat meat, and I don't go hunting, that's what you know." Zhong Ling said a little unconvinced.

I waved my hand, all right, let's go, it's getting dark.

After walking some distance down the mountain, we saw blackened blood on the ground nearby, and at first glance we knew that some animal had been hunted.

We didn't pay attention to it and moved on.

"No, look over there!"

As a result, after walking a short distance, Jin Lin pointed to the position under a tree in front of him and shouted.

When I looked, there was a wild boar under the tree that had only half of its body left.

We hurried over and found that the boar had not rotted yet, and it should have died in the past two days.

When I took a closer look, it didn't seem that the wild boar had been hunted, because it had been bitten in its mutilated parts, and the other half of its body should have been eaten directly.

Naturally, humans do not eat raw wild boars, which must have been hunted by other animals.

I told them not to make a fuss and move on.

"The smell of blood is getting stronger."

After walking down the mountain for a while, Jin Lin said.

"Well, it smells so unpleasant." Zhong Ling also said.

Hearing them say this, my heart tightened, I guess there was really something, but we really didn't feel any ghost breath.

"Go to the village down the hill and ask the villagers."

After a pause, I said.

With that, we quickened our pace and hurried down the mountain.

"Look!"

Zhong Ling suddenly stopped, pointed to a clearing next to him and said in surprise.

I hurriedly looked and found that in that clearing, there were actually two half-cut animal carcasses.

It was a baby sika deer, and a roe deer.

I hurried over, and the two animals had also been torn off half of their flesh, and judging by the condition of their corpses, it should have been about the same time as the boar's death.

This time, I took a closer look at the condition of the corpse, and this time, I suddenly noticed that something was wrong.

They weren't hunted by other animals!

When carnivores hunt other prey, they either bite off the neck of the prey or bite open the chest, and they also leave a lot of scars on the prey.

These three animals, which are only half-cut in size, not only have good necks, but also have no other scars on their bodies!

Moreover, it is impossible for carnivores to leave their food behind!

However, they don't look like they were hunted by humans, and it is impossible for humans to eat these animals raw, let alone throw fresh meat here.

The three of us glanced at each other, "Let's go, hurry down the mountain!" ”

Don't think about it, something must have happened on the mountain.

Sure enough, the closer you got to the village down the hill, the more and more carcasses of the half-cut animals appeared.

We didn't stop any longer along the way, and went straight to the bottom of the mountain.

When we arrived at the entrance of the village, we found that the smoke we saw before was not cooking smoke at all, but the name of the village here was burned yellow paper in front of the door of our house! The biggest smoke came from the middle of the village, and I don't know what it was burning.

Seeing this, Jin Lin hurriedly stepped forward to ask a middle-aged woman who was burning yellow paper and asked her what was going on in the village.

The middle-aged woman stared at Jin Lin for a careful look, then looked at Zhong Ling on the side, and said with a somewhat frightened expression: "There are dead people in the village." ”

Dead?

It was evident from the look in the middle-aged woman's eyes that the dead person must not be normal, otherwise she would not have looked so frightened, and the village would not have been burning yellow paper everywhere.

None of us sensed the ghosts and yin qi, could it be that the ghosts of the dead have already passed away.

Jin Lin hurriedly asked again: "Who is the one who died, why did you die?" ”

The middle-aged woman's expression was tight, she refused to speak, and reached out in the direction of the middle of the village and pointed: "The village chief is leading people to prepare to burn them." ”

They? It sounds like more than one person is dead.

We looked at each other, and immediately rushed towards the middle of the village.

When they arrived in the middle of the village, they saw an old man in a shabby military coat directing people to add firewood to the fire in front of them to burn four corpses

It should have been burning for a short time, and I could still see the appearance of the four corpses.

The four corpses, a little girl, an old man, and a pair of middle-aged men and women, looked like they should be a family of four.
