Twilight fell, on another official road in the Demon Beast Forest.

A team of light armor searched for something in the woods on both sides of the road.

The team leader looked extremely embarrassed, and a few whip marks could be clearly seen on his face.

"Spread out and look for it!Did you hear the words of the young mansion master clearly, if you can't find Miss Wan, you guys will all die in the Demon Beast Forest!"

On the official road not far from here, in front of a box car engraved with a three-clawed frog, two light-armored guards, one on the left and one on the right, were holding a sturdy man about thirty years old.

"Do you know what happened to me?" A cold voice came from inside the cart, and then the two guards broke off the thumbs of the man's hands as if they had received some order.

A crunch "click" was followed by a hoarse wail.

"Ben Gongzi is asking once, are you sure you saw the girl in the painting and walked in this direction?"

"Ahh My hand... My hands..."

"Noise, let him remember it for a long time!" said the noble man in the car in a cold tone.

"Wait, I see, I see," the man wailed.

"Slow!" the voice in the car sounded again, and the two short knives that were about to be inserted into the man's ribs suddenly stopped in mid-air.

I heard the man plead, "Childe... Son... You let the villain go... I do... I did see a person who looked extremely god-like in the painting... Fairy's people, go over there, please let me go, I don't want to reward me, childe, please let me go..."

The curtain of the car was lifted by a folding fan, and the mysterious noble son looked at the old man riding a strange monster on one side, "Elder Xuan, you see?"

The old man frowned and said, "We have been searching in this direction for a long time, if what he said is true, at least some traces should be found, unless Miss Wan and the others are not on the official road." ”

As he spoke, he turned his gaze to the deeper depths of the Demon Beast Forest.

"It's... Xuan Lao, don't scare me, Qing'er, she only brought Luo Teng alone, if she rashly entered the Demon Beast Forest, once she encountered danger, I am afraid that the consequences would be unimaginable. Hearing this, the noble prince walked out of the car in a little panic, he looked at the man who kept wailing with disgust, waved his hand at the two guards, and then continued: "Why don't we go back to Longzhi City first, and let me come forward and let the city lord send us some more people?"

"No!" Xuan Lao vetoed without even thinking about it, "Childe's move is inappropriate." The old man is just a conjecture, and he didn't say that Miss Wan really entered the depths of the Demon Beast Forest, although you can be seconded to patrol the city guard, but the city lord of the Dragon Finger City will definitely take the opportunity to ask the reason, if the matter of Miss Wan's disappearance is spread to the ears of the Canglong royal family, I am afraid that it will affect the relationship between the Wan family and our mansion. ”

"But Qing'er, she..."The noble son was anxious when he heard this.

Xuan Lao soothed: "Young Mansion Master, don't panic, Miss Wan, she is also a third-order Saint Pattern Master, plus with Luo Teng accompanying her, even if she encounters danger, she can turn evil into good fortune if she wants to!"

He paused and continued: "Although there are many roads leading from Dragon Finger City to Dragon Breath City, there is only one official road, and with Miss Wan's identity, it is unlikely that she will be able to walk with those lowly mercenary teams, so our top priority now is to follow this road and keep searching!"

"That's it..."The noble prince nodded, and said to the two guards who had disposed of the corpses: "You two, also go and help search, it's enough to have Xuan Lao here." ”

"Yes. The two guards took the order and turned to leave.

As the light faded, the night grew darker.

The search team was also moving much slower due to the obstruction of their view.

About half a pillar of incense later.

"Childe, after the stone tablet in front, it is the boundary of Dragon's Breath City. ”

Hearing the sound of the report coming from outside the car, the noble prince thought of a possibility, and muttered: "Could it be that Qing'er has been picked up by the Golden City Lord in advance?"

He looked at the boundary monument engraved with the three big characters of "Dragon Breath City" in a complicated mood, and immediately shook his head again, "No, Qing'er and his father don't have a good relationship, and we have traveled five days ahead of schedule this time, so I think the Lord of Jincheng will not send someone here to greet him before the prophet arrives." ”

"Young Mansion Master, a corpse was found, it's a mercenary!"

He was still thinking, but in the dense forest, there was a voice from the team leader.

"It's just a dead man, what's all the fuss!" the noble prince looked displeased, obviously still haunted by the disadvantage of his care.

"Young Mansion Master, don't worry, what's wrong with the old man asking you about your corpse?" Xuan Lao is delicate, and he doesn't have too many emotions, but he won't treat these guards carefully trained by the mansion master as straw bales.

"Lord Huixuan. I found the insignia of the Iron Blooded Mercenary Regiment on that corpse, the same people we met at the Inn in Dragonfinger City. ”

"Huh?" Xuan Lao was startled, and hurriedly said: "Have you found other corpses, forget where the corpses are, I'll go and see them." ”

"Master Xuan comes with me. The squad leader hurried to lead the way.

"Lead the way!" Hearing this, the noble prince also jumped out of the carriage, and several people walked towards the forest.

After a few steps, a few people looked at the dark pit, where several guards were rummaging through the ice pile.

And on the outer edge of the deep pit, the corpse of a mercenary of the Iron and Blood Mercenary Regiment, whose head had been cut off, was lying there quietly.

"It's... What's going on here?" Gui Gongzi's face was ugly, because there was still half a day's way to go from Dragon Finger City, not everyone knew about this hail in the realm of Dragon Breath City.

Xuan Lao's sleeve robe waved and brought a wave of qi, blowing away the pile of bushes that had been broken into pieces, revealing something underneath.

"This is the feathers of a fifth-order demon beast, the Lingfeng Giant Bird. It seems that these mercenaries have accidentally provoked that kind of demon beast..."Xuan Lao muttered, and his gaze turned to the top of the tallest giant tree here.

A huge bird's nest there was in ruins, and the Lingfeng Demon Beast that was supposed to make its home there was also gone.

"Qing'er, she won't meet that kind of demon beast!" said with a cloudy face: "No, no... Judging by the degree of melting of the ice on the ground, it should have been hailing here not long ago, Xiaoqing may not have gone in this direction, by the way, it must have been the pariah before, in order to cheat the payment, he didn't see Xiaoqing at all! Damn, I wouldn't have killed him so early if I had known. ”

Just as he was wandering, the voice of the guard came from the bottom of the pit again, "Childe, another corpse has been found..."
