Chapter 120: Meeting
It's not that Chen Cheng is guessing wildly, compared with the patients in the village and the members of the team who were trapped in the special department at the beginning, although the appearance and characteristics are similar, but there are still differences when you look closely, Chen Cheng deduces from the evidence collected from all sides, and the idea that it is the evil cultivator naturally pops up in his heart.
After pretending to take some supplies and leaving his satellite phone number to Bing Yan, Chen Cheng left alone, and he had no direction, because this was the second accident location, this side could be excluded, and the other three areas were the focus of the search.
Silkworm Cong Bird Road, it is difficult for ordinary people to travel, let alone complete a large-scale search task, although it is not as good as looking for a needle in a haystack, but the difficulty is also conceivable, but it is relatively simple for Chen Cheng.
Why is Chen Cheng so dragged? Because he can fly in a short period of time, if he has enough vitality and relies on his powerful divine sense, no matter how large the area is, he can also probe it like plowing the ground, but his current cultivation can't do it, but it doesn't affect his occasional use, reducing the difficulty of searching.
Coming out of the temporary camp, according to the map Chen Cheng went all the way to the south, when he stopped to check the map, it was only a few dozen kilometers away from the neighboring country of Wanta, he suddenly had an urge to contact Xiaolu, I don't know how Xiaolu is progressing during this time, if nothing else, it should be something to gain, and I can't prepare which deep mountain to hide in to establish a training base.
It's just a matter of thinking about it on the spur of the moment, even if it's close, it's not a matter of meeting in a day or two, and it's not sure which country Xiaolu is in, the thought flashed away, and Chen Cheng began to look for clues with peace of mind.
For three days, Chen Cheng only hid in the space at night to rest and cultivate, his search range extended to 100 kilometers, but there was no gain, just when he was depressed and about to return, he received a call from Bingyan, saying that the same epidemic had been reported 500 kilometers away, and the span was so large that everyone felt caught off guard.
The distance was too far, and Chen Cheng couldn't fly over, so he had to wait for the helicopter of the special department to come and pick him up, and the team members who went out on the mission were equipped with positioning trackers, and Chen Cheng was no exception, and it was not difficult to find his location.
Two hours later, Chen Cheng finally arrived at the latest incident location, with him also Bingyan and two other teammates, when approaching the destination, Chen Cheng asked the helicopter to lower the flight altitude, using his divine sense to sense whether there was an abnormality below, but the effect was not ideal, so as soon as he got off the plane, he no longer wasted time and continued to act alone.
The local reported epidemic is exactly the same as before, which further proves the possibility of man-made, any virus will not spread selectively, you don't have to think about it to know that this is the same group of people, but you don't know the specific number of people, of course, it may be a single person, that is more troublesome, one can cause so much harm, it can be seen that its skills are not bad.
Due to the short time since the incident, Chen Cheng finally gained something from careful observation, and less than two kilometers away from the incident site, Chen Cheng found some food scraps that had been discarded not long ago, which should be poultry bones to be exact.
The place where the food scraps are found is higher and has a wide view, and any movement around it can be seen at a glance, but the steep mountain wall is not something that ordinary people can climb up at will, but it is not a challenge for rock climbers, so who will run here to eat is still estimated in the morning.
Chen Cheng observed very carefully, but there were not many things on the ground, and there was a mountain wind blowing, and he couldn't find any valuable clues from these traces, so he once again urged his divine sense to focus on the surrounding range of dozens of meters, and combed through every inch of land.
"Huh, what is this?" Chen Cheng soon made a new discovery, and not far away he found a puppet statue that had been split in half, with skillful knife skills and lifelike facial expressions, but the expression was extremely hideous. After carving, it was chopped again, what is the situation?
Chen Cheng is not a professional police officer, and he can't find the right answer from it, so he feels that there is no suspicious place nearby, so he reported the situation here to Bingyan and asked her to arrange for people to further collect clues, but he directly chose a direction and went straight away.
Since he has been here, whether it is before or after, there may be other traces left in the surroundings, especially the direction chosen by Chen Cheng, the terrain is steep and easy to avoid tracking, if he chooses the escape route by himself, it is definitely this direction.
Traced all the way, until it was dark, Chen Cheng made no new discoveries, if it was simply to work for the special department, he would have lost interest a long time ago, and he was able to persist until now, completely because of this practice of relying on absorbing the vitality of ordinary people, which angered Chen Cheng's little sense of justice.
When I was in the Lieshan clan, I heard the old man talk about the legend of evil cultivation, this kind of person has been there for generations, they can do anything for themselves, the guy in front of him absorbs the vitality and basically chooses the young man to start, from the analysis of the exposed clues, it is because he has scruples to do this, which means that the strength is not strong enough, and early capture can also avoid more victims.
As long as you find someone, it is best to be an old nest, even if Chen Cheng can't resist, it is okay to obtain sufficient evidence, and the special department will ask the Zhuji monk to take action, so he doesn't have to worry about it at all.
A day was wasted, Chen Cheng also walked out at least 40 kilometers away from the accident location, running for several days, and the rest time was short, he was also a little unable to lift his spirits, and he found a cliff early before dark, and dodged into the space.
For the sake of safety, Chen Cheng let the hairball manipulate the delicate jade card to hide in a narrow stone crevice, if this can also be discovered, then he can only hope that he will carry it a little.
In the space, Chen Cheng washed up, and after finding some food to eat, he was not in a hurry to cultivate, and if there was any movement outside, the hairball would notify him as soon as possible, so that he could sleep beautifully first, and then come to meditate and practice in the second half of the night, but it was a pity that there was no time to absorb star energy during this time, and he always felt uncomfortable after a long time.
Unconsciously, Chen Cheng fell asleep, as long as Lao Jin didn't make trouble in the space, it was definitely unusually quiet, if it weren't for Chen Cheng's good control ability, he might really sleep until dawn.
After Chen Cheng slept for nearly four hours, he was woken up by the hairball, it turned out that there was an uninvited guest outside, and he had to decide.
After being awakened, Chen Cheng quickly received the image sent by the hairball, a slender figure appeared in the image, not tall, wearing a black robe, shawl and long hair were messy, and even his face was covered for most of it, like a ghost, he couldn't distinguish between men and women at all, that is, Chen Cheng was brave enough not to be scared, and ordinary people would probably be scared half to death when they saw this person, which was much more real than what they saw in thriller movies.
The reason why Chen Cheng chose to enter the space from this place is that there is a mountain wall to block it, it is easy to hide, and the other party should have the same idea when he comes over, Chen Cheng speculated in his heart, and he is not sure whether this person is the target he is looking for, if so, it would be great, what a rare opportunity to wait for the rabbit.
But Chen Cheng was not so calm immediately, the person who came walked forward sniffed around with his nose like a dog, and the route he walked was actually overlapping when he came during the day, he suddenly became a clever, this guy's sense of smell and the dog have a fight, he dared to find his own breath to come, he must have something to rely on.
"Maoqiu, is this ghost a monk?" Chen Cheng is not outside, and he can't determine the identity of the other party, but Maoqiu's ability in this area is not bad, and he generally doesn't make mistakes, of course, there are special times, such as now, he hasn't given an answer after holding back for a long time, if there is no hair on his face, he must be red now.
"If you don't understand, just say it, look at you like you're constipated, it's not uncomfortable!" Chen Cheng spoke too harshly, and normal people would hurt their self-esteem after hearing it, but there was nothing polite to be with the hairball.
"She's a woman. ”
"I feel that my breath is unstable, I am definitely not an ordinary person, but I am different from a monk, I can't say it. ”
"Looks like you've found us!"
Chen Cheng also saw that something was wrong, and the woman in the picture was indeed coming towards the crack in the stone wall.
"Move up quickly, it's better to hide if you don't figure out the way you came from!" Chen Cheng urged anxiously.
Fortunately, the crack in the stone wall extended upwards and was not blocked, and the woman's speed was very slow, probably not wanting to attract attention, taking advantage of this precious time difference, the hairball controlled the delicate jade card to move slowly upward, and after moving five or six meters high, she didn't dare to move again, because the other party had already come to the stone crack.
"Could it be that the breath left by the jade plaque can also be smelled, how long is the nose of this ghost thing, it is also a little too strong!" Chen Cheng said in disbelief.
The hairball didn't squeak, she hid so secretly and was found by the other party, do you still need to doubt her strength? Isn't this an obvious thing, no matter what, this person is not something that Chen Cheng can offend now, if possible, it is better to leave as soon as possible.
If he can avoid tonight, Chen Cheng also plans to evacuate quickly after telling Yang Zhenhua about the matter, the woman outside Bacheng is the target of the search, this is no longer something he can get involved in, he can flash as far as he can, and the trouble is still left to Zhuji Da Neng to solve.
Although the wish was good, the reality did not give him a chance, and soon Chen Cheng noticed that it was not good, judging from the images in his brain, this evil cultivator had definitely discovered the location of the Linglong jade plaque and was trying to find a way to get it out.
According to normal people's thinking, no one would have thought that there was a huge space hidden in a jade plate, and whether the true face of the jade card could be seen from below was still two words, and it was possible to be regarded as other heavenly treasures.
I can't wait any longer, I have to leave, Chen Cheng has secretly decided in his heart, and revised his judgment, no matter what kind of exercises he cultivates, the other party's cultivation will not reach the level of foundation building, the master of the foundation building period already has divine sense, once he finds something wrong, he will definitely use his divine sense to investigate, but this person does not, it is completely unreasonable.
Another point, if the foundation has been laid, I am afraid that he will not hide in the deep mountains to harm the villagers, how can there be a few subordinates to serve him, how can he be so downtrodden, but Chen Cheng is still unwilling to try it head-on, if he can, try to escape.
There was an idea but Chen Cheng still endured it and didn't move, still holding a fluke mentality, but the woman below was not idle, after determining the location of the jade plate, she paced back and forth and seemed to hesitate, I don't know whether she suspected that someone had set a trap or out of other concerns, in short, she didn't make a decision.
It took five or six minutes before she stopped, drawing a pitch-black sword with a scabbard from her robes.
"Run! This sword is weird, it's terrifying!" Before the sword was unsheathed, the hairball had begun to tremble, and he couldn't help but say that he was about to flee when he controlled the jade plate.
