Chapter 464 Investigating the Murder in the Beast Forest

Yu Hao emerged from the Dragon Tomb covered in dust and dirt.

Sniffing the lingering fox scent in the air, she said, "Hmph! Qing Linghuan, get out here!"

After waiting for a while, Qing Linghuan still hadn't come out. Yu Hao said, "Come out now, and I'll give you something good!"

There was still no movement. Yu Hao sniffed the air again, "Qing Linghuan—"

Seeing that the fox still wouldn't come out, Yu Hao scoffed disdainfully, "A cowardly fox with the heart of a thief but not the guts!"

……

Qing Linghuan sneezed. "That old bird must be cursing me! I'll kill him when I get back!"

Su Yan looked at the gray sky, and Xiao Mei reminded her that there was serious toxic gas pollution in the air.

Hearing Qing Linghuan's words, he was speechless: "You and Yu Hao are still fighting?"

Qing Linghuan rubbed her nose and replied, "Actually, we used to fight when we were kids. But as we grew older, we each went our own way."

Su Yan chuckled and asked, "Oh? So how does it feel to share a partner now?"

Qing Linghuan replied decisively, "That's impossible. I'll kill him sooner or later."

"..." Su Yan was practically sick of hearing this. The more someone shouts about it, the less likely they are to actually end up like that. Like Zulu, who was never spoken ill of by anyone, yet suddenly met with misfortune.

"Xiao Mei means that the insect poison system has become rampant here. Not only her, but several other pest control systems are also carrying out pest eradication tasks here. But the Queen Beetle has not been found yet. Once we find the Queen Beetle and eliminate it, we will have completed our mission."

"Alright, let's begin." Qing Linghuan rubbed her hands together, eager to get started.

Su Yan transformed into a small mouse. "I'm counting on you! Let's go!"

……

Tianyuan Beast Forest —

"Son, slow down."

Pei Xuan transformed into a giant golden-eyed black panther beast and followed behind Xiao Hao, looking relaxed and at ease.

Suddenly, Xiao Hao stopped, then determined the direction and quickened his pace.

Pei Xuan continued to follow him at a leisurely pace.

Suddenly, he heard Xiao Hao call out, "Uncle Wen—"

Pei Xuan immediately teleported there.

Not far away, Wen Jin was searching for something.

He hadn't noticed Wen Jin even before Xiao Hao; it was clear that his cultivation level was still inferior to his son's.

"Wen Jin, you've come for a walk in the Beast Forest too?"

Pei Xuan transformed into human form, dressed in a black fitted robe, and approached the Asura King, whose true appearance was unbelievably beautiful no matter when one saw it.

Wen Jin breathed a sigh of relief. "It's perfect timing to come and help. I've been wandering around here for ages with no clue what to do."

"What are you looking for?" Pei Xuan asked.

"Yan Yan went to do a mission, you know that, right?"

"Her cultivation involves completing tasks and upgrading the childbirth system, which is perfectly normal."

"Yes. Before she left, she sent me a telepathic message saying that Zulu was dead and that I should find out who killed him. The location should be here. Fortunately, it hasn't rained in the last two days, otherwise everything would have been washed away."

"Wait a minute, who did you say died?" Pei Xuan's expression immediately turned serious.

Xiao Hao, who was standing to the side, also listened intently with his big ears perked up!

The tail that was wagging happily has stopped wagging.

"You don't know?" Wen Jin was taken aback, then looked at Xiao Hao.

Pei Xuan replied, "We just returned from our travels in the Beast Forest to the north and haven't had time to return to the Beast King's Capital yet."

"I came here directly from the Asura Realm. The fourth God War is about to begin, and I've been dealing with matters related to the God War in the Asura Realm these past few days."

"When did this happen?" Pei Xuan asked.

“Two days ago,” Wen Jin replied, then twirled a wisp of blue-gray rabbit fur between her fingers. “Is this Zulu’s? I found it on the treetop over there.”

“It’s him.” Pei Xuan immediately called out to Xiao Hao, “You have a good nose, smell if there’s anything unusual about it.”

Xiao Hao immediately started sniffing the ground.

Finally, they stopped at the spot where the giant python had died. "The smell of blood here is so strong."

Pei Xuan walked over and examined it. "It looks like a black python. I used to cultivate in the Beast Forest and severely injured it once."

"Could it be that the black python killed Uncle Zulu?" Xiao Hao sniffed again, "But there's no smell of Uncle Zulu."

"It must have been your Uncle Zulu who killed it. With such a strong smell, it's most likely dead." Pei Xuan looked at Wen Jin, "Did Yan Yan give any clues?"

"No." Wen Jin squatted on the ground and raised her hand to summon a magical beast.

Xiao Hao was immediately alarmed, but seeing that the monster was kneeling on the ground obediently, waiting for Wen Jin's orders, he did not immediately attack.

"Check if there are any other traces left by magical beasts nearby," Wen Jin commanded the magical beasts.

The demons are more sensitive to the traces left by other demons.

The monster quickly ran away, searching around for something... Suddenly it stopped, picked up half of a wild fruit that the monster had eaten, and handed it to Wen Jin.

Wen Jin sent the magical beast back to the Dark Continent, and then used the half of the wild fruit to start summoning the magical beast again.

A moment later, a Xuan-rank magical beast with the head of a goat and the body of a horse appeared, carrying half of a beastman's arm in its mouth!

Xiao Hao was about to pounce on the monster and kill it.

Pei Xuan stopped him just in time, saying, "It's not too late to kill him after your Uncle Wen has finished his investigation."

Xiao Hao then managed to hold back.

Wen Jin asked the ram-headed monster, "Something happened here two days ago, do you know about it?"

The ram-headed demon beast eyed Xiao Hao and Pei Xuan warily, and was instinctively afraid of them, even the tiny cub. "Demon King, if I tell you, can you spare my life?"

“Okay, I promise to forgive you,” Wen Jin readily agreed.

The ram-headed beast then replied, "Two days ago, a spirit beast, a black python, was killed by a rabbit-clan beastman. The rabbit-clan beastman said that his wife was pregnant and needed to eat fresh meat, so he killed the black python so that it could be reincarnated sooner. Originally, I planned to take the opportunity to eat him, but seeing that he had such a conscience, I let him go."

"We can't eat him, he's a Spirit Rank cultivator."

"No no."

"What happened next?" Wen Jin continued to ask.

"I don't know either, but I heard from an echidna that a female beastman was crying here later, and she was screaming terribly."

Wen Jin and Pei Xuan both fell silent.

Xiao Hao was crouching, poised to attack!

Wen Jin lowered her gaze slightly, her expression calm and revealing no emotion. "Is there anything else?"

The ram-headed monster thought for a moment, "No. After that female orc left, she took the black python's corpse with her. The echidna originally wanted to pick up some of the remaining heads, but in the end, she left nothing behind."

Xiao Hao finally couldn't resist his hunting instincts. He pounced forward and bit the ram-headed monster. Waves of purple-gold lightning quickly reduced the ram-headed monster to ashes... A crystal fell to the ground.

“Xiao Hao! Your Uncle Wen promised to forgive him.” Pei Xuan sighed.

Wen Jin waved her hand and laughed, "I agreed, it wasn't Xiao Hao who agreed. Let him kill as he pleases. And I've already asked him everything."

Xiao Hao picked up the crystal and handed it to Wen Jin, saying, "I'm sorry, Uncle Wen, I couldn't control myself. Here, take this."

"Uncle Wen, no, you can have it and play with it." Wen Jin patted Xiao Hao's round head.

Pei Xuan said, "That female beastman should be Yan Yan."
