Dual Cultivation: A Carefree Journey Through Another World, the Empress Falls into My Hands

Upon hearing this, Wang Panfeng stopped Wang Xueyi and said:

"Have you forgotten what this person is best at?"

As he spoke, Wang Panfeng ordered a guard to bring a hunting dog and enter the tunnel.

As a result, the guard and the hunting dog had only taken a few steps into the tunnel when they both collapsed to the ground, bleeding from all seven orifices.

Upon seeing this, Wang Xueyi exclaimed in surprise:

"There is a deadly poison inside the tunnel!"

Hearing Wang Xueyi's exclamation, Wang Panfeng calmly replied:

"Just as I expected, this murderer is vicious and despicable, and likes to use poison."

Upon hearing this, Wang Xueyi pressed for an answer:

"Captain, what do we do now? Should we continue the pursuit?"

Upon hearing this, Wang Panfeng glanced at Wang Xueyi and said coldly:

"Chase them? How can we chase them? Who knows how much poison has been put in these tunnels!"

"What can we do? We can't just stand by and watch him get away!"

Wang Xueyi had a resentful expression on his face.

However, Wang Panfeng did not answer his question, but instead turned to the other guards and gave them instructions:

"Bring over plenty of withered grass and fresh grass!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the guards immediately began to move.

In no time at all, a large amount of dry grass and fresh grass were transported over.

Subsequently, Wang Panfeng ordered his men to pile all the dry and fresh grass at the entrance of the tunnel and then set it on fire.

Because the dry grass was mixed with fresh grass, a large amount of thick smoke was quickly produced and then rushed into the tunnel.

Meanwhile, Wang Panfeng also ordered several guards to fan the air at the cave entrance to drive the thick smoke into the tunnel more quickly.

Then, Wang Panfeng gave the following orders to the other guards:

"You split up and search for any spot where thick smoke is coming out, then signal with a firework arrow!"

"Yes!"

As a unified "Yes!" rang out, the guards scattered and began their search.

At this moment, Wang Xueyi, who was standing to the side, finally understood the significance of what Wang Panfeng had just done.

Wang Panfeng did this in an attempt to use the thick smoke to drive Chu Yunfan out of the tunnel.

The place where thick smoke was billowing out nearby was the exit of the tunnel.

"Our captain is indeed exceptionally intelligent, far beyond our reach!"

Wang Xueyi flattered Wang Panfeng at the opportune moment.

Although Wang Panfeng didn't say anything, he couldn't suppress the smile on his lips.

However, to their astonishment, before the guards could return to report, they saw thick smoke rising from the ground in several nearby locations.

"this!"

Wang Xueyi's eyes were glazed over, and he sensed something was wrong.

Wang Panfeng's face was filled with anger. Wang Xueyi had just praised him for being smart, but he never expected to be proven wrong so quickly.

What enraged Wang Panfeng even more was that screams of agony suddenly came from all directions at the same time.

Upon hearing this sound, Wang Panfeng immediately instructed Wang Xueyi:

"Let's split up and search for the thieves!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Wang Panfeng disappeared from his spot and headed towards the location from which the screams of a guard had come.

However, when he arrived, he found that there was no body on the ground, only a pool of blood.

Next to the bloodstains was a hole about the size of a human head.

However, Wang Panfeng paid no attention to the cave entrance and left directly.

After all, the opening is so small that it's impossible for a person to get in or out.

However, when he arrived at the location of the second scream, he found that the same situation had occurred there.

This time, Wang Panfeng became suspicious of the cave entrance. With a swing of his broadsword, he cleaved a crack dozens of meters deep into the cave entrance.

However, to his disappointment, there was nothing underground.

Afterwards, Wang Panfeng continued on to the next location.

But the result was always the same.

There was only a pool of blood and a hole the size of a human head on the ground.

Sensing something was wrong, Wang Panfeng immediately sent a signal to summon all the guards back.

The Wang family guards, who were scattered searching for Chu Yunfan's whereabouts, saw the signal sent by Wang Panfeng and soon all rushed to Wang Panfeng's side.

Another Martial Venerable Realm expert, Wang Xueyi, also rushed back with a gloomy expression.

"Captain, we haven't found any trace of the thieves, and instead, we've lost quite a few brothers."

But where the brothers disappeared, all that remained was a pool of blood and a small hole.

We dug along the entrance, but found nothing!

This thief used some unknown method, killing and disposing of the body with lightning speed, leaving not a single trace!

Wang Xueyi looked distressed, clearly overwhelmed by the situation.

When Wang Panfeng heard Wang Xueyi say that he had also discovered a large number of small holes, he immediately focused his breakthrough on these holes.

Then, he and his guards inspected each of the holes one by one.

Finally, around one of the cave entrances, they found a clump of gray hair.

Wang Panfeng looked at the gray hair in his hand without saying anything, but led his men to continue checking the remaining holes.

As a result, not long afterward, Wang Panfeng and his team found the same gray hairs around several other cave entrances.

At this moment, Wang Panfeng finally stopped and said with a gloomy expression:

"It seems that our enemy is not only humans, but also some kind of small demonic beast!"

Wang Shouyi, who was standing to the side, heard Wang Panfeng's words and looked at the gray hair in Wang Panfeng's hand, and realized what was going on.

"The appearance of this gray hair near several cave entrances is no coincidence and is definitely related to the murderer!"

"A small-sized monster with this kind of fur and such a strong burrowing ability should only be a rodent-type monster!"

At this point, Wang Xueyi's face showed a look of doubt.

"However, among the dead guards were several Martial Grandmaster level experts."

What kind of rat is so powerful that it can devour a Martial Grandmaster in an instant, leaving nothing behind, and always manages to escape before we arrive?

Upon hearing this, Wang Panfeng spoke up:

"If one mouse can't do it, what about ten, or a hundred!"

Upon hearing this, Wang Xueyi immediately realized what was happening.

However, he still had one question.

"If it was a demonic beast that attacked us, could it be that the Beast Taming Sect is targeting us? Only the Beast Taming Sect can easily control demonic beasts to fight."

However, it is rumored that the Beast Taming Sect is a super sect in the Eastern Azure Domain.

The Eastern Azure Domain is countless miles away from our Northern Underworld Domain.

"Our Wang family has never offended anyone from the Beast Taming Sect, so why would they come after us?"

Upon hearing Wang Xueyi's words, Wang Panfeng's face darkened, and he remained silent, as he was also considering this issue at that moment.

If the one who made the move was indeed from the Beast Taming Sect, then the trouble would be immense.

Rumor has it that the Beast Taming Sect is a super power comparable to the Azure Cloud Sword Sect.

Moreover, the members of the Beast Taming Sect often deal with demonic beasts, which influences their personalities, making them fierce and bloodthirsty.

If the Beast Taming Sect targets them, the Wang family will truly face certain death.
