I let you be a fugitive, not to set up a private army.

"That's too late!"

From behind and around, huge dark monsters with bloodthirsty eyes surrounded them.

Zhang Xun picked up the big sword with a serious expression: "These things are not easy to deal with. They are even more difficult than the foggy river water ghosts. Brother Xiao, I have fought these two before."

"Ah."

Chen Jiajun had already gotten out of the car and kicked the oncoming corpse-eating dog more than ten meters away.

The greatsword in his hand burned with flames, and his body left behind an afterimage—

In just a short moment, afterimages appeared everywhere, more than ten monster cores exploded on the ground, and the remaining corpse dogs fled into the cave.

"Brother Xiao, are you really at the 2000 weight class?" Zhang Xun looked exhausted. He had just faced two corpse-eating dogs, which he couldn't defeat at all, but was killed instantly by two swords from the man in front of him.

"It's 3000 now." Chen Jiajun replied casually.

"Breakthrough?"

"Yes."

Jumping into one of the caves, there were many passages inside, and the light of the white lanterns clearly illuminated several clues.

"Wait for me." Zhang Xun quickly jumped in, "Brother Xiao, your lantern looks very unusual."

"Ah."

After walking about ten meters, I came across one of the clues: bloodstained pieces of clothing were scattered on the ground, and a picture appeared on the white lantern: several ghouls were feeding on a homeless man with black lines on his face.

Going forward again, at the end of the second clue is a pool of blood.

The white lantern revealed an image: a Taoist priest wearing a Bagua robe, with eyebrows slanting upwards on both sides and a righteous face, killed a cadaver dog here...

"This man is Taoist Priest Chidi, stationed in Xianghe Town. I met him before when I came to Xinghuo City."

Zhang Xun paused, "I suspect the oil pipeline blockage incident is related to the Taoist priest's appearance."

After walking a few dozen meters, I saw another pool of blood and the image of a white lantern emerging.

After killing the corpse-eating dog, Taoist Chidi squatted down and examined a wound on the monster that was not caused by him. After examining it, he said:

"The aura of a rock monster? No, it's even more powerful than a rock monster. Could it be that something strange is about to appear in the north, so the ghoul hounds are running here? No, I have to go check it out."

"Brother Xiao, how long ago did this happen? Can the lantern illuminate it?" Zhang Xun asked.

"Half a month ago."

Chen Jiajun continued forward, following the lantern's guidance, and emerged from another cave. The lantern illuminated the Taoist priest's traces, heading north.

"Let's go to Xianghe Town first."

"Please bless the Taoist priest and hope nothing happens to him. With him, the Demon Hunting Team won't have to waste energy dealing with the Red Land issue." Zhang Xun said.

The two returned to the car, but since they couldn't drive any further, they picked up their things and started walking.

Zhang Xun diligently put on a backpack and carried another in his hand: "Leave the trivial matters like carrying things to me. Brother Xiao, save your energy for the fight."

We arrived at Xianghe Town at noon, but the town was almost empty.

Only one was seen——

An old woman with gray hair and a sad face was walking towards them, holding a baby.

Before Zhang Xun could speak, the other party spoke first: "Young man, I can't find my newborn baby. Can you help me find it?"

"In your hand?" Zhang Xun was halfway through his words when his face froze. He saw the other person holding...

"Look at my memory. I'm holding it in my arms. You said you couldn't find it. I'm so sorry, young man."

The old woman's face suddenly changed from sorrowful to kind. She looked at the baby in her arms and said, "You are so well behaved. You don't make any noise or fuss. Mother will take you home now..."

While talking, he continued walking forward.

After watching the other party walk a few dozen meters, Zhang Xun asked doubtfully, "If I'm not mistaken, the old woman just now was holding a baby made of straw."

"You read that right."

"Is she suffering from senility..."

While Zhang Xun was guessing, he suddenly heard a baby crying "wa". Cold sweat slid down his forehead and he slowly turned his head -

Watching the old woman gradually disappear around the corner.

Dang, Dangdang——

At this moment, the sound of gongs suddenly came from the front, followed by a shrill suona funeral song.
