When Shi Cheng walked out of the small teahouse, a crooked moon had already hung in the night outside the house.

"I didn't expect to find the clue so quickly after arriving in the Southern Wilderness, and I hope this trip to Redwood City will be rewarding. Master, rest assured, your last wish will be fulfilled. Shi Cheng whispered to himself: "Tomorrow, I will go to the Baiji Cloth Village for a walk." Tonight...... Instead, you can go to the mass grave in the mouth of the vendor, which, according to the vendor, is eight miles away from the west gate of the city. ”

Shi Cheng sighed lightly, exerted light skills, and ran towards a small piece of jujube forest in the southwest direction. At this time, the city gate is closed, and if you want to avoid being detected when you go out over the wall, having a forest as cover can somewhat reduce the probability of being discovered.

Under the cover of night, Shi Cheng cautiously navigated through the shadows of the square. Curfew is approaching, and there are fewer and fewer pedestrians on the streets, and city guards have begun to patrol the streets. However, no one noticed that in the shadows on the side of the street, a thin figure was passing quickly.

Shi Cheng's body technique is very fast, and the kung fu of a cup of tea has already come outside the jujube forest. He cowered patiently in the corner of a hut, waited for a group of patrolmen to pass by, and then leaped out and sank into the woods as fast as arrows from a string.

The forest was not large, and soon Shi Cheng was at the other end, only separated by a small clearing, Shi Cheng could already clearly see the mottled and dilapidated city wall. Although Redwood City is one of the few decent cities in the northwest of the Western Desert Country, its defenses are dilapidated, and it is completely different from most cities in the western part of the Western Desert. Shi Cheng could tell from a distance that the city wall had not been repaired for a long time, and there were several places on the city wall that could no longer be passed.

This paragraph in front of Shi Cheng is like this. Even the patrolling soldiers on the city walls were scattered. However, there are many deserts in the northwest of this Western Desert country, with a poor mountain and bad water, and there are few people, even robbers are unwilling to fall here. In addition, Redwood City is close to the sea, does not border with any country, and is not in the border area of the confrontation between the Western Desert Kingdom and the Dongdan Kingdom to the west, so even if the city defense is lax, the city will be safe.

Shi Cheng cautiously glanced around, and after making sure that there was no one around, he quietly touched under the city wall, and with a leap of energy, he had already jumped halfway. Shi Cheng stepped on a protrusion, took another leap with the help of strength, and gently and skillfully crossed the city wall. Shi Chengzhen's qi was released, and he volleyed in the air, and after a while, he landed steadily outside the city wall. If there is a martial arts master next to him who sees this scene, he will definitely exclaim in surprise, sighing that there are young people who have such attainments in light skills.

After falling to the ground, Shi Cheng galloped out without stopping.

After a short run, Shi Cheng had already come to the mass grave.

It was pitch black all around, and the sound of the wind that came to my ears from time to time was like the whispering of the dead, and only the faint moonlight fell on the ground. Fortunately, the terrain is flat, and standing on a small mound next to the mass grave can take in the whole scene of the mass grave.

Shi Cheng walked softly through the tomb, his soap-colored cloth clothes blending in with the night. He turned around and counted more than ten graves that had been destroyed. Every grave that was dug up was empty, and occasionally a few tombs contained a shabby burial object or two, but the bodies were missing.

Shi Cheng's face sank like water, but there was a hint of excitement in his eyes, and after seeing the scene in front of him, he was more and more sure that the grave excavation case that occurred in Redwood City was most likely inextricably linked to the terrorist force he was trying to investigate.

Shi Cheng circled around the entire mass grave again, carefully inspecting the situation around the stolen grave. The only thing that was found was that the graves did not seem to have been excavated in a short period of time, but were excavated over a long period of time.

He shook his head a little lost, but at this moment, a strange sound floated from a distance. Shi Cheng was shocked, and immediately jumped into a dug grave next to him, bowed his body and listened quietly to the movement outside.

The sound was getting closer and closer, and Shi Cheng, who was squatting in the grave at this time, could already tell that it was the sound of people walking, and there were two people walking towards the cemetery outside. He remained motionless and continued to listen to the sounds outside.

The sound got closer and closer, and it stopped about ten zhang away from Shi Cheng, and then the sound of the two men talking outside the tomb sounded.

"The master told us last time that we must be cautious and careful in our affairs recently, and the group of fools who took the shift a few days ago actually alarmed the officials, and the bad grandfather ate sand outside the city for several days before he dared to enter the city."

"Brother Jiu, don't complain, if we can do this errand well, we will be the celebrities in front of the master."

"That's what I said, I just don't know what the master wants the corpses of these lonely ghosts to do, these pigs are also a commotion when they die, every time they are lifted, they don't wash it well, grandpa can't even eat." As he spoke, the man known as Brother Nine spat on the ground.

"The reason for this is that the younger brother has heard some rumors, and it is said that the old man wants to give the corpse to his strange friend."

"What do you mean...... Is that person? Brother Jiu's voice trembled slightly, "That guy can't really go the wrong way, right?" I usually look at his outfit and I think he's not a decent person. ”

"Brother Jiu is cautious!" After speaking, the thinner figure subconsciously looked left and right, and then continued to say to Brother Jiu: "Let's just do our own things well, and the rest is not something we should talk about." ”

"The accents of these two people don't sound like the accents of the Redwood City area......" Shi Cheng frowned.

Shi Cheng squatted quietly in the grave, listening to the conversation between the two with bated breath, but the two did not speak next.

Brother Jiu and the thin man walked to the nearest grave, skillfully chopped down the wooden plaque of the grave, and dug up the loess above the head of the tomb owner with one shovel after another.

Seeing that the two of them were no longer speech, Shi Cheng quietly clenched the branch around his waist, and when he got down, he wanted to rush out of the grave and surprise the two of them.

At this moment, the thin man suddenly screamed "oops", he covered his stomach and said to Brother Jiu: "Brother Jiu, I'll go and relieve my hands, internal urgency, internal urgency." ”

"Straight lady thief, why don't I see you so much when I usually eat."

"Don't blame me, Brother Jiu, I think it's because the restaurant in this poor countryside is not particular and the food is not clean."

"Then why am I okay? Go and come back quickly, don't think about leaving everything to grandpa. ”

"Thank you, Brother Nine. Thank you Brother Jiu, the younger brother will be back immediately. ”

The thin man smiled flatteringly, but he kept cursing in his heart. "Why are you okay, you say? It's not because all the good dishes have been robbed by you. But the thin man would not dare to say this. He bent down and walked out a few feet away quickly before scolding in a low voice, "Damn, when this mission is over, I can be familiar with my face in front of the master, and I won't need to be called by you anymore." ”

The thin man whispered a few more words, and seemed to be somewhat relieved, so he walked to another dug grave nearest to him, intending to relieve his internal anxiety by the pit.

Coincidentally, that's where Shi Cheng is hiding.

"Just in time." Shi Cheng was secretly happy in his heart.

Shi Cheng in the pit heard the footsteps of the thin man getting closer and closer, and when the thin man came to the grave, he jumped out.

The thin man walked to the pit and was muttering to himself, when suddenly a black shadow swept out of the pit, and he was horrified in his heart, and the pores of his body shrank a little, and he shouted, "What ......?"

It's just that before he finished speaking, the lower abdomen qi sea point was directly hit with a heavy finger, penetrating the meridians, and the lower body was sour and numb, but the dantian had been completely sealed, and the waste that was originally going to be unraveled from the body was wantonly vented in the crotch.

The thin man's body was crumbling, and at the moment when he was about to fall, he opened his mouth to ask the ninth brother for help. But where would Shi Cheng give him this opportunity, took a step forward, took out another finger, and sealed the thin man's dumb hole, the thin man fell to the ground, his body trembled slightly, and a foul smell came from his lower body, but he couldn't say a word.

Although the thin man was knocked down by Shi Cheng, a loud shout before had already reminded the ninth brother who was resting in front of the half-dug grave. He jumped up as if he had been electrocuted, and turned his head to look at the place where the thin man had been relieved, only to see a dark figure rushing towards him with great speed.

Frightened, Brother Jiu shouted, "Are you a human or a ghost? ”

He shouted as he struggled with his arm and slammed his right palm towards Shi Cheng.

Shi Cheng jumped in front of Brother Jiu, and between the lightning and flint, the two had already slapped each other. Shi Cheng let out a slight "huh", but the whole body didn't move. The ninth brother spurted out a mouthful of blood, and the whole person flew out and crashed into a big tree behind him, with unspeakable pain in his arms and back. Shi Cheng's palm made him feel as if all his internal organs had turned upside down, and just as he wanted to look up and see where the black shadow was, a dead branch had already rested on his neck.

"Don't move!" Shi Cheng's hand holding the withered branch added some strength, but the seemingly dilapidated withered branch was as hard as iron, and a bloody mark was drawn on the neck of the ninth brother with a slight stroke. Only then did the ninth brother see Shi Cheng's face clearly, and the black shadow that seriously injured him with just one move turned out to be a young man who was not good-looking.

"Heroes spare their lives! What a man spares his life! Brother Jiu wailed loudly.

"Be quiet! I'll ask you a few questions, and to be honest, I'll let you go. Shi Cheng said lightly.

"Even if the young man asks, my Emperor Fu Ah Jiu must know everything."

"What are you doing here tonight, and by whom are you directed?"

"This ......" Huangfu Ah Jiu hesitated for a moment and asked, "You, are you an official?" Is it the people of the Western Continent who grew up in our Western Desert? ”

"It doesn't matter who I am, my patience is limited in answering my words." As soon as the words fell, Shi Cheng added some strength to his hand.

Huangfu Ah Jiu took a painful breath and shouted: "I said that a merchant named Huang Yuan sent me, and he spent a lot of money to hire me to find some ownerless corpses for him on a regular basis, and I don't know what he is used for. ”

"Huangyuan ......." Shi Cheng muttered the name in a low voice, thinking about the information related to the Southern Wilderness that he had collected since he came out of the mountain, but he didn't notice that the hand that Huangfu Ah Jiu was originally half-raised had quietly hung to the ground, holding a few sharp stones.

In a moment, Shi Cheng had already remembered all kinds of information about Huang Yuan, he sneered, and said: "It seems that you still don't want to tell the truth, I have heard of Huang Yuan, he is indeed a quite famous businessman, but he seems to be just an upstart who has just made a fortune." You are really good, you are actually a cultivator who has just entered the realm of cultivators, you can be said to be a good hand in this Southern Wilderness, I don't think that just with the net worth of an upstart like Huang Yuan, you can invite a martial artist of your level. Say! Who is behind you? ”

"Want to know?" A touch of fierceness suddenly flashed on Huangfu Ah Jiu's face, "Go down and ask the Hades King!" ”

As soon as he finished speaking, his leg kicked the ground. Huangfu Ah Jiu flew out upside down at the same time, and threw the stone in his hand with all his strength. In the blink of an eye, several stones flew in front of Shi Cheng's eyes with the sound of breaking through the air.

Shi Cheng's face was as usual, he didn't think about it, he waved his big hand, and the extremely powerful palm wind waved out. A few stones flew back incomparably quickly, hitting the back of the heart of the Emperor Fu Ah Jiu, who turned and fled. Huangfu Ah Jiu turned his head, his eyes were full of horror, this was his most proud family heirloom secret weapon technique, but it was broken by this young man's move. With an unwilling roar, Huangfu Ah Jiu fell to the ground, already dead of anger.

Shi Cheng secretly sighed a pity, in fact, the sneak attack of Huangfu Ah Jiu just now was also quite thrilling for him, "I didn't expect to see such a subtle secret weapon technique in the Southern Wilderness, it seems that the world is so big, it is indeed Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon everywhere, and it cannot be taken lightly at any time." Although I didn't exert all my strength in the first palm, this person was able to resist hard, coupled with this secret weapon...... This Huangfu Ah Jiu is really skilled. The person who can hire such a person, and who can also instruct him to personally participate in the tomb robbery, looking at the entire Southern Wilderness, I am afraid it is not a simple role. ”

Shi Cheng turned around and wanted to see the thin man who had been restrained by him before, but he helplessly found that the thin man had also lost his breath, and there was a bloody hole in the Baihui acupoint. It turned out that Shi Cheng's thinking for a moment just now had already made the old Jianghu of Huangfu Ah Jiu figure out the surrounding situation. The stones thrown by Huangfu Ah Jiu when he fled did not all hit Shi Cheng, and one of them flew towards the thin man. Obviously, he was worried that after he escaped, Shi Cheng would force important information from the thin man's mouth, so he killed people.

Shi Cheng was slightly disappointed in his heart, he really hadn't touched anyone in Xilu since he left the mountain, and his vigilance had dropped a lot. The green flame in his hand swung out, turning the bodies of the thin man and the emperor Fu Ah Jiu into ashes one after another.

"It's not without harvest today, and tomorrow I will go to Baiji Buzhuang as originally planned. After the investigation in this area of Redwood City is over, I will leave for the royal city of the Western Desert Kingdom to visit that Huangyuan, maybe this Emperor Fu Ah Jiu is not climbing indiscriminately. Looking at the flames dancing in the ashes, Shi Cheng muttered.
