Chapter 237 The Massacred Village
Hearing this straight question, Jiang Shuo could not help but twitch the corner of his mouth.
“Am I this kind of person in the eyes of senior sister?”
Mu Xue didn’t look at him and snorted softly, “On the surface, he looks serious, but who knows...”
>
Jiang Shuo was trembling with anger, and the next moment, he was close to the snow girl’s crystal earlobe.
"Would you like me to demonstrate it to you?"
"That way you will know what kind of person I am."
Under the intrusion of the hot breath, the jade-white delicate ears could not help but be stained with a slight tint. red.
Jiang Shuo's deliberate mischief came to fruition. He felt happy and was about to say something more to seduce the fair girl.
Mu Xue, however, tried hard to keep her figure stable and spoke softly with a steady voice: "You should know that the Ice and Snow Girl clan has an almost strict code of sanctity and solemnity."
"I have made a choice that goes against my heart, can't you let me retain the last sense of ritual?"
The voice was steady and trembling, making Jiang Shuo stiffen.
The young man fell into silence, and then withdrew his teasing fingers.
“I am frivolous.”
“Before I give you a name, I will never give you such a hint again.”
The snow girl sat cross-legged in front of the cloud beast and said nothing, just humming softly.
Jiang Shuo took a breath, lifted up his hem and stepped back slightly, sitting cross-legged.
In less than two hours, a stretch of mountains began to come into view.
Different from the Taixu 800-mile Mountain Range in the east, although the entire western part of Qingzhou Province also has towering mountains, they are disorganized and have no natural order, and are more similar to mountains.
There are also spirit beasts entrenched in the mountains. In addition, the mountain roads are rugged and the clouds block the sun. According to legend, strange things often happen there.
Also due to the barrenness of the western part of the Tianhun Empire, the main official and commercial roads were blocked here. The Qingzhou government was unwilling to spend a lot of money and adopted a turn a blind eye.
When it was finally discovered that something was wrong, it had become a trend.
The government sent three groups of people, including a Soul Saint and a Soul Douluo, but in the end they all lost contact.
So he had to report to Taixu Sect and request to send strong men.
After leaving the state border, ride on the cloud beast and go straight into the towering mountains.
Although the field of view is slightly blocked, it is still better than measuring with your legs when you are on the ground.
Jiang Shuo suddenly remembered that the Qingzhou Mansion had handed over a map along with the memorial, which could be regarded as the suspected evil soul master's stronghold.
I patted my waist and took it out quickly.
The map is not very precise. After all, none of the people sent by Qingzhou Prefecture came back, so we can only rely on guesswork.
After thinking about it, Jiang Shuo spread the map further forward.
"Senior sister's mental strength is stronger than mine, how about you guiding me?"
After all, he was the second in the list of ferocious beasts, Mu Xue nodded lightly, "I'll do it."
Speaking, after looking at the map, he pulled the reins of the cloud beast.
The flying soul beast was guided by the spiritual power and immediately flew away in the direction pointed by the snow girl.
The further in, the darker the sky becomes.
There was a hint of cold wind blowing around the two of them.
Perhaps it was due to the lack of sunlight inside. The tip of Jiang Shuo's nose was slightly raised, and he smelled a very faint smell of decay, which was like a plant or an animal.
In about half an hour, with the help of the speed of the flying soul beast, the two of them successfully entered the depths of the mountain.
The mountains here are so strong that the mountainside is very gentle. Some simple wooden houses built on the mountainside began to come into view.
It should be a type of hunter who enters the mountains.
Soon, a group of buildings stretching into a strip, some of which resembled cottages, began to come into view.
Jiang Shuo is a little curious. There is little sunshine here all year round. Can ordinary people survive here?
Looking down at the map, he said: "Let's go ahead and have a look. The map given by the Qingzhou government said that this village is a rare village in the mountains."
"Ask them if they have any There is no news about the evil soul master."
Mu Xue nodded in response and pulled the reins to change the direction of the cloud beast again.
As the air flow raised the dust on the ground, the two of them landed outside the gate of the cottage.
Glancing around, Jiang Shuo couldn't help but feel strange. Although the sun was rarely seen deep in the mountains, people still had to eat grains. There were also many terraced fields around the mountainside. But at this time, he did not see a farmer.
This village with a hundred or so households is surprisingly quiet, with not even a trace of smoke from the cooking pots.
Mu Xue withdrew her gaze from the remote viewing village and said in a deep voice: "Something is not right."
"I swept most of the houses and didn't see a single person."
Jiang Shuo frowned in confusion, and the next moment his heart skipped a beat, "Let's go!"
"Go in!"
After saying that, the young man strode out and entered the village gate.
Mu Xue did not hesitate and followed suit.
The village is quite large, and almost every household can own a large wooden house or bamboo house.
There is actually a small school ground for martial arts training, although it is paved with dirt.
However, with Jiang Shuo's speed, he could pass through the entire village in less than half a cup of tea.
Suddenly, a strong bloody smell hit his face.
Corpse, mutilated corpses, shattered all over the ground, scattered on the small school ground in the north of the village.
The small pieces of internal organs wrapped in bright red soil attracted vultures hovering in the mountains, and there was a constant sound of "pecking" beaks hitting the ground.
When the vulture saw the stranger coming, it only glanced at Jiang Shuo and Mu Xue, and then continued to pick out the eyeballs of a baby corpse.
The eyeball was pulled out, bringing up a long string of bloody ribbons.
However, when the blood dripped on the ground, it was not dazzling because the feet were already stained with red.
Everyone in the village seemed to have been killed.
...
Jiang Shuo’s eyes suddenly condensed, and his aura couldn’t help but be disturbed.
"Beasts."
As soon as he finished speaking, several bolts of soul power suddenly shot out, hitting the dozens of good ones behind the village.
In an instant, the dozen or so unlucky vultures that came smelling the smell of blood exploded with bang bang.
Something strange flashed across Mu Xue's eyes, and she raised her chin to look at the young man who never showed his anger.
“It was no more than a day after the murder. The bloody smell is the thickest in the northeast, and there are signs of struggle... There are all men and children here, and all the women must have been taken away.”
Jiang Shuo stepped back with his left foot, and his figure shot out instantly, causing ripples in the air.
Mu Xue was slightly stunned, but quickly followed without asking a word.
To the northeast of the village is a gently sloping forest.
The weeds were unorganized, and the trailing blood stains suddenly stood out.
After half an hour of scurrying around half the mountainside, a hole that had been drilled through came into Jiang Shuo’s sight.
There are white bones piled up in a conspicuous place at the entrance of the cave, with no intention of hiding them.
Seeing the young man pause, Mu Xue caught up with him, "It should be inside, but something is not right..."
Jiang Shuo sneered, "It's not quite right. Yes.”
"It's so stupid that it's pitiful."
"Since these jumping insects are looking for death, let's send them back to the west!"
As soon as the words were finished, there was a clang in the air, and a clock was engraved. The silver-white spear with dragon patterns has fallen into the hands of the young man.
Dark purple thunder erupted from Jiang Shuo's body, shooting into the cave.
Mu Xue’s eyebrows skipped a beat, she gritted her teeth, and followed him regardless of the bad premonition rising in her heart.
The cave was very dark, but quite spacious. After passing through a section, light suddenly appeared, and the evil soul master seemed to have dug through the entire mountain.
At the entrance of the cave on the other side of the mountain, two people stood with their soul power unrestrained and unrestrained.
The next moment, there was a slight whistle in the air, and in the flash of cold light, two blood flowers shot out.
The two soul king-level evil soul masters guarding the entrance of the cave had their pupils bulging and fell limply to the ground.
