As if grasping at a life-saving straw, Buck Lu talked about this Ye Ling for a long time.

There are facts in this, and there are pure complaints.

After he finished speaking, Ye Ling digested these words in his mind for a while.

So far, a total of thirteen deceased people have been found.

Seven of them can be identified.

There were men and women, they were thugs in gambling houses, vegetable farmers walking the streets, beggars in Longmen Bazaar, and little girls buying knitted toys...... Wait a minute.

Buck Lu spread his hands and complained to Ye Ling again, "You said that this murderer is simply looking for someone to commit the crime at random, and the time and place are not regular, how can we find it?"

"Not true. Ye Ling said lightly.

"What's wrong?"

"Lord Ba, apart from these deceased who know their identities, can't the identities of the other deceased be determined?"

Bucklu said with a sad face: "Brother Ye, you don't know, our Canglong City is not as good as you Yuyang, at the foot of the Son of Heaven, the population coming and going is recorded in detail. ”

"Canglong City is overpopulated, many homeless, declining nobles, and even fugitives, these people who cannot have an identity, are gathered here with us, and some corpses, when they are alive, they can't be identified at all, let alone after they die. ”

"Understand, understand. Ye Ling nodded heavily, as if he understood something.

In other words, they are all marginal people in the city, and even if they are dead or missing, they will not attract attention. ”

After Ye Ling's reminder, Buck Hook suddenly opened.

"yes! I didn't think of that!"

Ye Ling continued: "I have a suggestion, arrange for a few of your trusted subordinates to disguise themselves and enter the gathering place of those homeless, carefully monitor the number of homeless, and report once in the morning, noon and evening. ”

"Brother Ye, what does this mean is ...... again"

"The true number of victims, perhaps, is much greater than what we know. ”

"Yes, yes, just do what my brother says!"

Buck stood up suddenly, put the towel on his shoulder, "Thank you brother for solving my doubts, I will hold a banquet in the mansion tonight to catch the wind and wash the dust for my brother!"

Ye Ling immediately refused: "Now is not the time, Ba City Lord, as soon as I came, I said before that I was secretly operating this time." ”

"Second, we still have a lot of steps to do, and I'm going to complete my mission tonight. ”

"What mission?" Buck asked with a frown, "Do you need my help?"

"No, we're going our own way, I'm going to look for survivors tonight. ”

Dead people don't speak, and the most straightforward way to find out what's going on is to find survivors.

............

By the time I left the City Lord's Mansion, it was already getting late.

Bazier stood guard at the door and handed the elixir of the Rejuvenation Hall to Ye Ling.

While there was still some time, Ye Ling found an ordinary inn near the City Lord's Mansion to stay.

This is a place that even Baklu and Bazir don't know.

Living outside, Ye Ling had to be careful with everyone.

At this time, he has changed into a local dress, and he is more ordinary in the crowd.

"Alright, let's go to the millstone. ”

Breathed his dantian aura.

Ye Ling was surprised to find that he had unknowingly reached the seventh level of the Mountain Destroying Realm!

"When is this?" Ye Ling was speechless for a moment.

Could it be that while the "One Word Breaking Heaven Formula" strengthens its own strength, it also strengthens the user's own cultivation?

But the increase in this cultivation is also exaggerated!

Even if it is a giant fierce beast like a fishing scorpion, with Ye Ling's current needs, he needs to absorb at least ten or more in order to improve his realm!

In this way, compared to the exercises of "Ninety-Nine Na Soul Formula", which will cause damage to the aura of fierce beasts, this "One Word Heaven Breaking Technique" is obviously much more clever!

Even, it will give itself the aura of the beast itself exponentially!

The improvement of the realm of one level, that is, it is different from the previous self.

If he encounters a fishing scorpion with his current strength, it will be something that can be solved with a sword.

Thinking about it like this, the long sword in his hand seemed too ordinary to be worthy of this superb exercise.

"Zhaocai, what kind of sword did Ye Jiancheng use back then?" Ye Ling asked.

Zhaocai shook his head, pondered carefully, and said, "I remember what he called...... Anyway, that thing is shiny, and it's a good baby. ”

Star Soul Sword?!

Ye Ling instantly recalled the starlight he saw in the illusion during the day.

In this mortal world, it is estimated that such a divine weapon cannot be found.

"Forget it, don't want to, will you come with me?" or do you want to rest at the inn?" Ye Ling asked.

"Of course, let's go together, what if you find the treasure and swallow it alone?"

“......”

There were still two towns between Camel Town and Longmen Town, and Ye Ling did not choose to walk through the town, but walked in a straight line, going straight from the desert.

Regarding the grinding stone factory, Ye Ling inquired about a total of three people.

The information they brought to Ye Ling was about the same.

The grinding stone factory was originally the largest jade cutting factory in the town, and the jade processing business was an important industry for Cangyun City to survive, especially after Ye Ling vigorously developed commerce and inland shipping with the west.

Originally, relying on the Camel Town Mill Factory, Cangyun City could live a more prosperous life.

But in the past two years, a place called Xijiao Mountain, which is next to the millstone, has frequently seen sand scorpion fishing.

Somehow, these beasts migrated en masse from the far north of the West Prison Mountain, causing the mill to be destroyed by their raids many times in a short period of time.

The guards of Canglong City lost several masters from time to time because of this, and finally failed to drive this group of fierce beasts back to the mountain, so they had no choice but to abandon the grinding stone factory.

Regarding this story, Ye Ling inquired about a total of three people: the city lord Ba Keyu, the patrol captain Bazier, and the second junior of the inn where he had stayed.

Due to the different statuses of the three people, the way they tell the same thing, the content, and the degree of truth and falsehood are different.

The only thing they all have in common, and that is that this place is no longer suitable for Terrans to stay, and it is impossible for anyone alive to appear.

In the distance, under the sunken starry sky, an abandoned factory like the remains of a giant beast appeared at the end of Ye Ling's line of sight, exuding an eerie dead aura.

Now that he saw it with his own eyes, Ye Ling knew that those people's terrifying descriptions of the grinding stone factory were not exaggerated.

However, Ye Ling soon discovered something even more terrifying.

Just around the millstone, there were many faint green lights flashing, like the stars holding the moon, enveloping the millstone.

There are thirty or forty desert fishing scorpions!

This kind of terrifying beast that originally liked to live alone, but now it has appeared in groups, making anyone who sees it can't help but feel numb on their scalps, and they can't wait to nod and leave immediately.

"I've lived for thousands of years, and I've never seen this kind of formation......" Ye Ling sighed in a low voice, the dragon elephant knife clenched in his hand.
