"Everyone, please see, that is where Du Heng disappeared."

Duke walked to the shade of a giant tree, stretched out his finger to the river in front of him, and pointed out to everyone the location of Du Heng's disappearance that day, he had led a team here to investigate the history of Du Heng's disappearance, so he had a deep memory of the location of Du Heng's disappearance.

Shi Cheng stopped and looked around, the fog in the valley was not small, if he didn't use his skills to diverge his five senses, for the monk he could only see four hundred steps away with his eyesight, and for ordinary people, the distance he could see was even shorter. The place where they were was a narrow bend in the valley, where the originally gentle stream was rushing up, and on either side of the bend were cliffs almost perpendicular to the ground.

There are many stones in front of and behind the bend, most of them scattered on both sides of the stream, and there are also a few lonely pestles in the water, some of which are only up to the knees of adult men, and some are more than a person's height.

"It's a great place to set up an ambush." Shi Cheng and Tie Mian thought in their hearts.

As he spoke, Duke walked over to a mossy boulder standing at the water's edge, then turned to the crowd and said, "At that time, Du Heng disappeared here, right, Du Yang." ”

"Elder Hui, that's exactly the case." Du Yang replied with a fist.

"You can talk to a few sons and Deacon Xu about the situation of the day." Duke commanded.

"Yes!" Du Yang should get down, walked in front of Shi Cheng and the others, and said, "That day, after Senior Brother Heng took us to the boulder beside the elder, a strong wind suddenly blew in the valley, and at the same time, the fog actually became thicker and thicker, as if those winds could never blow away the dense fog shrouded in the river valley. ”

"We were in a panic at the time, because the wind was so strong that the good players in the team were blown around, so our formation quickly messed up, but the gust of wind came and went quickly, and after about a cup of tea, it stopped."

"And then you found out that the man named Du Heng was missing?" Xu Fengshi asked curiously.

"Exactly." Du Yang nodded, "After the wind stopped, the clansmen who were blown away finally regrouped, and in such a short period of time, three of our ten-person team exploring the forbidden area were injured, and two were missing. ”

"Two people are missing?" Shi Cheng pricked up his ears, "Who else besides Du Heng?" Is it convenient for Du Yang Daoyou to reveal? ”

"It was another team leader who led the team at that time." Duke took over the conversation, "It's called Du Yuanqing, in fact, it can't be regarded as missing, after all, Yuanqing was quickly found back at that time." Duke pointed to the west, "Du Yang, they found the unconscious Du Yuanqing on a river beach about a thousand steps away from here in that direction. ”

"I haven't heard you talk about this before, where is that Du Yuanqing now, Shi doesn't seem to have seen him yet." Shi Cheng said with a slight frown.

"Yuan Qing he...... I was poisoned and never woke up. Duke's face showed sadness, "There is no good pharmacist in this Kenbin City, so we sent him home a few days ago." ”

Shi Cheng didn't have any expression on his face, sighed secretly in his heart, and said, "Presumably, the treasure that your Du family brought into the forbidden area was on Du Yuanqing's body at that time." When you find him, the treasure is gone. ”

"Exactly, what Shi Gongzi said is not wrong at all."

"I've heard from you before that when you searched the scene afterwards, you didn't find any traces of thieves, including footprints, fighting marks, drag marks, etc., right?"

Du Yang and Duke nodded in unison, Du Yang's face became particularly ugly, and there was even some fear in his eyes, "That's the case, those people are like flying from the sky, and after their feet don't touch the ground, they just flew away in the air like this." ”

Ma Guo, who was standing next to Xu Fengshi, interjected: "It's like what happened at the small waterfall?" If Du Heng was not mistaken, then the thieves he saw also disappeared without a trace in a short period of time. ”

Du Yang nodded, "That's right." ”

Du Yang's analogy was a little funny, but some of the cultivators present didn't laugh out loud, everyone knew very well what it meant, although the Du family was not a big family, but among the clansmen who were sent to participate in the forbidden area to capture the treasure this time, there were also many cultivators in the realm of cultivators, even if the fog in the Kenbin forbidden area could interfere with the five senses of the monks, and if they wanted to come and go without a trace in front of these people, without leaving a trace, even Shi Cheng and Tie Mian, the two half-step grandmasters, could not be very sure that they could do this.

The only one who can easily do this is the master of the Grandmaster Realm.

Everyone's expressions became solemn, and Shi Cheng walked to the mossy boulder and slowly circled around the whole big stone.

He stared at the empty valley, except for the strange willow tree he had seen before, everything here was unremarkable, only the sound of clear flowing water for a long time, Shi Cheng could not see any possibility of any strange treasure being here, I am afraid that it is precisely because of this that this place does not seem to be frequented by explorers.

Shi Cheng actually didn't believe that behind Du Heng's disappearance, there would be a master of the Grandmaster Realm who would personally take action, because there was no need for a master of the Grandmaster Realm to hide his head and show his tail so much when facing such a group of cultivators, just kill people after grabbing the treasure and killing them, after all, people are not creatures who like to take detours.

"Hydroacoustic ......"

Suddenly, a bolt of lightning flashed through Shi Cheng's mind, and he turned sideways to look at the shimmering stream on his left.

"Waterfalls are good...... It's good here, there's a lot of water passing by......"

Thinking of this, Shi Cheng's heart suddenly recalled a detail that he had missed before.

"By the way, speaking of the waterfall, when I checked the waterhole before, it seemed that the traces on the edge of the waterhole seemed to ...... Can you see that the water level of the waterhole has dropped recently? ”

Thinking of this, Shi Cheng's eyes radiated a glimmer of light, and in the puzzled eyes of everyone, he first walked to a nearby big tree, broke off a branch from the tree, and then walked to the stream, sent the branch into the water, closed his eyes, and quietly felt the power of the water surging from the branch.

"Old Shi, what are you?" Wu Neng was confused, and just wanted to go up to Shi Cheng to ask for an explanation, but was stopped by Tie Mian reaching out.

"He's got to find something, don't bother him." Iron Mask said.

After a long time, Shi Cheng's hand holding the branch stopped, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"I see, in fact, the thieves' method of coming and going without a trace is very simple, but the disguise is very good, and you can't see it without careful and in-depth investigation......

Shi Cheng took a deep breath, took more than thirty steps back, and threw the branch in his hand with great force, and the branch thrown out by Shi Cheng was like a spear that could pierce everything, hitting a place on the river beach with precision.

With a loud bang, large chunks of river water and sediment were sent into the sky, and in the big explosion, it seemed as if something solid had been exploded, and there was a relatively crisp cracking sound.

The faces of the Du family and Ma Guo all turned pale, Xu Fengshi was so shocked that his jaw was about to fall, Duke and Ma Guo involuntarily glanced at each other, and both of them involuntarily secretly screamed ashamed in their hearts: "This Shi Cheng is not more than twenty-seven or eighteen years old, but this kind of cultivation and skill, even if I practice for another thirty years, I may not be able to achieve it." ”

Tie Mian stretched out the long sword in his hand, forming a wall of qi in front of everyone, so that not a single trace of mud and muddy water in the sky fell on everyone's bodies.

Shi Cheng also protected his body with his true qi, he walked to the big pit that was blown up by himself, and after seeing the scene in the pit, he said with a smile: "Sure enough, Elder Du, come and take a look, this is the real reason why the thieves who attacked you that day came and went without a trace." ”

Everyone hurriedly ran to Shi Cheng's side, Duke probed to look into the pit, and was surprised to find that inside the pit, there was actually a tunnel made of wood and stone, and the builder of the secret passage specially used bricks and stones to build an arched structure on the top of the secret passage, so that the secret passage would not collapse due to the wet and soft soil in the tidal flat.

"This is the secret of the thieves who come and go without a trace, they come from the underground." Shi Cheng's voice sounded in everyone's ears.
