Douluo's Long Night

Chapter 229 Murderous Soul Beast Case
One hand, broke through the ground!

The deep black soil layer exploded, and the soul force pushed the soil outwards, and a strange figure crawled out of the burial pit bathed in the moonlight.

The strange black shadow has blood red eyes and disheveled hair, resembling a ghoul.

In fact, not too much.

The corpse that crawled out of the ground was none other than Carlos.

A living corpse, a vampire.

"Ah... a powerhouse of this level has actually appeared, and my lord's vigilance is really justified."

Carlos shook off all the dirt on his body and said to himself.

"Hmph, that brat..."

Carlos covered up the traces he had climbed out, then found firewood and set a fire.

Concealed.

The raging flames flooded the entire burial site. Others might guess that the corpse was stolen, but they would never guess that the corpse crawled away on its own initiative.

Carlos took poison and died in front of Tang Hao, pretending to be real.

He himself was a corpse, and the poison had little effect on the vampires, so he gave up detoxification and let the toxins circulate in his body.

The dead can no longer die.

The law enforcement officers in Notting City really didn't have the professional level to do a detailed autopsy. After concluding that Carlos died of poisoning, they had no clue and buried Carlos in the burial pit that was always used to bury dead bodies a few days later. .

For the sake of caution, he only recovered from suspended animation after a week.

Carlos blended perfectly into the night, with the gradually rising flame behind him.

He wants to stay away from this city.

Sneaking into Notting City to assassinate Tang San was a task assigned to him by Xu Junfang.

The previous few times pretending to be a human trafficker and street fights involving Tang San Xiaowu were all temptations, and no strong person showed up those few times.

Just when Carlos thought the task was about to be completed, a guy at least at the soul saint level unexpectedly killed him.

The Scarface gang was already the best assassination team he could hire in the small city of Notting City.

The adults said that if a strong man appeared, he would flee thousands of miles away immediately.

He is very obedient.

...........................

At this time, Xu Junfang, who was respected by Carlos as an "adult", had just arrived in front of a village.

The wooden fence surrounding the village looks weather-beaten, and the sharp wooden thorns are neatly connected in a row, but the door has been reinforced with thicker and newer wooden piles.

"Xingluo Village is here..." Xu Junfang carefully compared the portrait in his hand with the real scene in front of him.

Except for a few more rows of wooden stakes at the door, little has changed.

After hunting the soul ring, Xu Junfang separated from the two teachers, and returned to the Star Luo Empire alone to start the task.

The first mission received in Wuhunzidian was the appalling mass murder of spirit beasts in the vicinity of Xingluo Village, and the murderer went all the way south.

Xingluo Village is the place where the hurting soul beast last appeared.

Xu Junfang walked in.

"who?"

Two guards at the gate of the village stopped Xu Junfang.

Xu Junfang tapped the Wuhundian Medal on his chest, and said:
"Wuhundian sent special personnel to solve the recent spirit beast incident."

The two guards stood in awe:

"Master Soul Master! Please allow us to report to the village chief."

Not long after, the old village chief greeted Xu Junfang on crutches.

"Master Soul Master, you are finally here. This soul beast has killed a large number of villagers. It is too dangerous. I am worried every day. I hope you can help us kill the beast."

That's what he said, but the old village head was a little dissatisfied.

The soul master sent by Wuhundian looks too young, it feels like he is not even 20 years old, can such a child really solve the problem?
You know, Xingluo Village also had a great soul master before, and it was a strong attack system.

Already died at the mouth of a soul beast...

"Don't worry, the village chief. Although I am young, killing soul beasts is just a trivial matter."

Xu Junfang didn't want to talk nonsense, so he released the soul ring directly.

Five circles of the soul ring circled, and the pressure of the soul king was released and then retracted.

"Master Soul Master..."

The village head and the accompanying guards all worshiped the ground. He must be a big shot at such a young age to be a five-ring soul master.

Xu Junfang nodded: "Okay, show me the place where the soul beast hurt people and the corpses of the villagers."

Usually this kind of big case is handled by a soul master detachment, and only the students from the elite plan have the privilege of handling it alone.

...........................

"Master Soul Master, this is the place."

The old village chief took Xu Junfang to a wooden house. There were many wooden beds in the wooden house, and some corpses were covered with white cloth, which was already smelly.

Xu Junfang frowned, stepped forward, and lifted the white cloth of one of the corpses:

"Which corpse belongs to the soul master? Also, where is the scene of the first crime?"

"My lord, it's this one."

The village chief lifted the white cloth from one of the corpses.

The corpse under Xu Junfang had a chopstick-thick hole in its forehead, as if it had been pierced suddenly by some long stick, and there was not a drop of brain left.

Xu Junfang put down the white cloth in his hand, and walked to the front of the soul master's corpse for a closer look.

Like ordinary villagers, a small hole was opened on the forehead, and the flesh and blood around the wound can be clearly seen to be corroded.

Xu Junfang already had guesses about the attacking soul beast.

Eighty percent of them are brain eaters.

This knowledge point is very remote, and it has not been taught in the main class. He learned it from Bibi Dong.

Not sure yet, Xu Junfang checked the wounds of several corpses and said to the village chief:
"Village chief, keep two corpses, just these two, and dispose of the other corpses, as it is easy to cause plague if left here."

The village head nodded yes.

Xu Junfang walked out of the door with his hands behind his back, his expression somber.

The surrounding villagers saw that he was thinking, so they didn't bother him, and gave way one after another.

Xu Junfang sorted out the general context of the incident based on the news he heard from the village head.

The spirit beast attack was first discovered in a village far away from Xingluo Village. There were more than 300 people in this village, and one-third of the villagers were killed overnight.

The victims were all brainless, and there were signs of corrosion on the wounds.

The village reported the case to Wuhundian. During this period, news of someone being killed came from two more villages.

Xingluo Village had received rumors a long time ago, and the village chief organized the villagers to take armed precautions.

Unexpectedly, the soul beast actually appeared in the village. Only once, the only soul master in the village died.

Everyone was in danger for a while.

After that, there were no cases of new students in Xingluo Village for the time being, and Xu Junfang came to Xingluo Village on the third day after the first casualty passed.

It's a bit troublesome... Xu Junfang is not sure whether the soul beast is still near Xingluo Village at this time.

It would be too uncomfortable if the soul beast was still wandering around Xingluo Village after following the trail of the soul beast heading south.

If guarding in Xingluo Village, the spirit beast has most likely left, and then a new village will be killed.

Xu Junfang thought for a moment and made up his mind.

We can only do this first, and tonight in Xingluo Village, we will use the soul-inducing powder specially made by Wuhun Temple to lure the soul beast to show up.

If you stay for two days and there is still no movement.

He left Xingluo Village and went south to pursue.

Xu Junfang told the village head about his ideas and methods, but the village head only hesitated a little, but finally agreed.

..........................................

into the night.

The earth has long been asleep, except for the evening wind blowing the weeds slightly, except for the occasional dog barking, the cold villages and towns are silent.

In the dark night, sporadic fires flicker like fireflies.

After the village chief agreed to Xu Junfang's plan, he vacated some houses in the south, and let the only young people in the village hold torches and weapons to wait in the empty houses.

Xu Junfang sprinkled a small amount of soul-inducing powder around.

Xu Junfang didn't dare to sprinkle more soul-inducing fans, because it might attract other soul beasts.

Xu Junfang and the village chief repeatedly confirmed that there were very few spirit beasts around the village, and finally made a decision.

Xu Junfang had been waiting since seven o'clock. He did not close his eyes and listened to all the movements in the village all the time.

Time passed quickly in the darkness, after 12 o'clock, except for some weak ten-year soul beasts being attracted, there was nothing to gain.

Xu Junfang wasn't in a hurry, he just kept his mind focused.

One o'clock passed, and it was close to two o'clock. When everyone was sleepy and thought that tonight was doomed to be fruitless, there was finally a movement.

Geek!

There was a sound from the fence in the south courtyard.

Xu Junfang's spiritual power instantly covered it, and a great net of divine sense spread out.

A huge soul beast used the high fence in the south courtyard as a resting place, accelerated a second time, and jumped into the village.

Xu Junfang didn't say much, and the martial spirit instantly possessed him.

zizi——

A flash of blue electricity flashed in the darkness.

Xu Junfang was already standing behind the soul beast.

The soul beast reacted extremely quickly, jumping back several meters in an instant when the blue lightning flashed, and the speed was not slow.

Xu Junfang led with one hand, and the ground was bombarded with thunder, blocking the retreat of the soul beast.

With the help of the thunder light, Xu Junfang saw the enemy clearly.

The soul beast is on all fours, its arms are extremely strong, its lower limbs are short, its whole body is covered with a layer of blue-gray scales, and its muscles are coiled.

Its head is triangular in shape, with protruding lips and sharp fangs.His face was also covered with scales, and his face was extremely ferocious, with a pair of dark green triangular eyes showing fierce coldness.

No, it's really a brain-eating beast!

It's so lucky, it hasn't left yet... Xu Junfang and those cruel eyes looked at each other.
