Ring of Power

After further communicating with Mo Yicheng, Dilongying planned to help Mo Yicheng with the task.

Mo Yicheng wanted to touch the white ball unwillingly, but Bai Qiu didn't want to, which made Mo Yicheng so aggrieved that he didn't sleep, but he kept watch in the first half of the night and couldn't sleep even if he wanted to.

Hongshi Village is haunted by undead. This is a relatively wealthy village. There are plains in front and mountains behind. Convenient transportation, it can be said that it is a good place

The village is very big, almost as big as a small town. Hundreds of families live in a very ordinary way, nothing special. It's just that their village is not peaceful recently because of the appearance of undead.The village head went to the county to find the county magistrate in charge of this place, but the county magistrate asked how much money he would need to send someone. What is the county magistrate doing?

What?

So there was Mo Yicheng coming to Hongshi Village to do a mission.

The two went to Hongshi Village the next day, Mo Yicheng looked at Bai Qiu frequently on the way, and tried to lure Bai Qiu with fresh meat in the morning, but was ruthlessly rejected by Bai Qiu, and Mo Yicheng, who wanted to touch the cutie, cried and fainted in the wild .

The village chief who was standing at the entrance of the village waiting to pick up Mo Yicheng and several strong men in the village saw Mo Yicheng coming, they all went up to meet him, their expressions a little excited.

The village head looked to be in his sixties, with gray hair but a lot of energy, and his body looked tough. When he saw Mo Yicheng, he came over and grabbed Mo Yicheng's hand as if he had seen a savior, "You are here to help Our lord?"

"If this is Hongshi Village, then it is." Mo Yicheng smiled.

"The village is saved now. Is this young master a companion of your lord?"

"Yes, we came together. Don't call me my lord, it sounds awkward. You can call me Xiaocheng, sir. He is Qianyu, and he is here to help me."

"Young Master Xiaocheng, Young Master Qian, let's stop standing here, go to my house first, and let me tell you about the situation." The village head led the two of them into the village, and Di Longying followed the people in front, sizing up Looking around, I want to see if there are any clues.

Along the way, the village was very quiet. There was no dog barking or cock crowing, only the sound of their walking and talking. The village seemed to be a dead village, lifeless.

The situation was weird, so Dilongying secretly raised his guard.

It wasn't until the three of them sat down at the village head's house that the village head explained the situation.

The undead began to appear a month ago. At the beginning, the livestock in the village died. Not many died. It seemed that they died suddenly and did not attract attention. But after a few days, a large number of livestock died inexplicably, as if they had a plague. Well, the veterinarian couldn't find anything, so the people in the village started to panic.

It was only when people started to die that everyone in the village became terrified. For several days, one person died every day. The first one died was a scorpion in the village, who was lazy and idle all day long, and then a poor widow in the village. She was the only one at home. one person.

The villagers suspected that it was an evil thing, and this evil thing was very smart and knew how to find people who were alone.Fearing that someone would die again, the village chief asked everyone to gather near his house at night. Everyone set up tents and gathered together, and some people patrolled.

It's just that the situation quickly became worse. That night, more than a dozen people died, and the morning was full of roars and cries. It was a scene of hell on earth. The village chief had no choice but to let everyone go to the city to avoid it for a while. Avoid, come back when things here are resolved.

Now the only people staying in the village are the village chief and these men whose family members were killed by the undead. They stayed and waited for Moyi City, wanting to see what killed their relatives in the village and avenge their relatives .

Knowing the situation, Di Longying asked the village head: "What did those people look like when they died?" Those who can kill are not necessarily undead, maybe they are monsters or even man-made.

"Whether it's livestock or people, they died peacefully, as if they were asleep, but when you touched them, their bodies were cold, and they couldn't wake up anyway." The village chief sighed, and several men around him held Fist, some people still have tears in their eyes.

A man does not flick his tears easily, which can make these men want to cry. It is conceivable how hard the sudden death of their relatives hit them.

"Are those corpses buried?" Mo Yicheng asked.

"Yes, the dead are the greatest, we have to let the dead rest in peace."

"Take us to the cemetery, we need to make sure it's undead." Mo Yicheng said.

"Okay, if it's not undead, what else can it be? There are no monsters here, and there are some wild beasts on the mountain."

The cemetery of the villagers is in the back mountain, not far from the village. People in the village are buried here when they die, so there is a large cemetery here. Check the situation with Moyi City.they don't need to dig

In the tomb, Emperor Dragon Eagle only needs to sense it to know if it was done by the undead.

The dark resentment on the undead is very similar to the breath of death, but it is still somewhat different, so although there are many dead people here, there is a breath of death, but if there is the breath of the undead, Emperor Dragon Eagle and Mo Yicheng can find it.

Sensing that there is nothing underground, Dilongying and Mo Yicheng glanced at each other and saw the doubts on each other's faces. When the corpse rotted, the air of death was strong, but there was no breath below, which meant that there was no corpse below!

"Village chief, are you sure those people are buried here?" If the village chief didn't lie to them, where did the corpses go?If they escaped, then the tombs here should not be in good condition, unless they were not buried at all or were stolen after being buried, and the person who stole the corpse restored the tomb to the original state in order not to arouse suspicion.

"Yes, I saw them buried with my own eyes."

"That's weird, there's no dead body here at all." Mo Yicheng said surprisingly, the village chief and several men were all stunned. The ones buried here were their relatives who were put into the coffin and buried underground. .

"It's impossible!" a man exclaimed angrily.

"I nailed the coffin nails, the corpse can't escape by itself," said another human being.

"Village Chief, we won't lie to you. If you don't believe me, I'll show you." Dilongying directly used magic to lift a tomb, the clods were turned over, and the coffin lid flew aside. Look, it's really empty inside!

Several tombs were opened one after another. Without exception, there were no corpses in them, which means that the corpses were stolen!

"Wife! Why are you not allowed to live in peace after death! Who the hell is it?" A man saw that his wife's coffin was empty, and rushed over, weeping and wailing uncontrollably.

The others were all relatives who had been murdered. At this moment, their relatives' corpses were gone. Their faces were full of anger, their eyes were red, like beasts that had been cornered.

"Sin, sin, what the hell is this? Killing people is not counting but ruining corpses! This damn thing will be punished by God!" The village chief slapped his legs and cursed in anger and hatred.

"My condolences. This matter is a bit troublesome. We need to sort out the clues. Calm down, so that we can catch the murderer early and avenge those who died in vain." Di Longying saw that the emotions of these people had lost control, and couldn't help but Words of comfort.

"Village chief, the most urgent task is to find the murderer and let the dead rest in peace, so you must control your emotions." Mo Yicheng frowned, obviously very angry at these blasphemy of the dead.

Under the persuasion and comfort of the two, the village chief and the others gradually calmed down. There are not many clues left for them now. Dilongying and Mo Yicheng must know as much information as possible before they can find the murderer.

Killing people, stealing corpses, and knowing how to cover up traces are obviously things that intelligent beings would do, and with a certain purpose.

First of all, undead crimes are ruled out. There are many kinds of undead. The undead in Boneyard are the orthodox undead. They are born from the soul fragments in Boneyard. They are natural undead.

And some undead from the outside world, most of them should be said to be resentful spirits and ghosts. They usually stay because of too much resentment after death, or because of geography or other reasons, they do not dissipate, so they will cause harm to the world.

It's just that such existences are very weak, and it's okay to kill ordinary people, but a practitioner of the fourth level or higher can kill them.And they have a purpose, basically they rarely kill innocent people indiscriminately for revenge, and those who are killed by them are basically scared to death, how can they die so peacefully.

In addition to these reasons, low-level undead are unable to kill a dozen people at once and remove all their corpses without leaving any traces, while high-level undead will not do such trivial things.

Since it is not an undead, it is a human being.

Why not a monster?Low-level monsters have no brains, while high-level monsters don't bother killing people and stealing corpses.So it's only people who commit crimes.

The two told the village head about their conjecture, and the village head couldn't believe it. The people in their village were ordinary people, and there was no such thing as a serious feud. How could someone kill dozens of people in their village so viciously? people?Among them are children and babies who are not yet full moon!

"Who could this be? We don't have any enemies. It's normal to have small frictions and quarrels with people in and out of the village, but that's not enough to kill people. You two, you must help us! Otherwise, wouldn’t everyone in our village be killed in the future?” The village chief knelt down for Di Longying and Mo Yicheng, who hurriedly helped him up.

"Village Chief, you don't need to do this. Since we are here to do the task, we will definitely help you!" Mo Yicheng was also very angry at this time. He thought it was a simple task, but who knew that it suddenly became complicated and asked him to give up. He is not reconciled to the task, he can't just give up when he encounters some setbacks, besides, this murderer is really hateful, and he will not get rid of it.

"Village Chief, we want to know as much information as possible, from all sides, maybe we can find out who it is." Di Longying said, the clues are in countless information, as long as we can find key points and connect When you get up, you can always find the direction indicated by the clues.

If the murderer steals the corpse after killing someone, there is a high possibility that he is aiming at the corpse, and the corpse is of no use to ordinary people.

Only some special people need corpses.

The murderer was hiding it for fear of being discovered by others, so his strength should not be too strong, otherwise he could have killed all the people in a village instead of singled out, and in the end he seemed to have killed more than a dozen violently.

Those who need corpses are generally dark alchemists and some crazy alchemists. Of course, this is generally the case. There are always some people who may need corpses for various reasons.Di Longying and the others first asked the village chief for a lot of information, including detailed information on the dead, whether there was any grudge between people in the village and outsiders recently, and whether anyone saw suspicious people coming to them.

After learning about the situation, Dilongying and Mo Yicheng decided to take a look around the village. The murderer who stole the body would definitely have to take it away, maybe there would be some traces left behind.

The two searched from the cemetery, looking at one grave after another, trying to find something belonging to the murderer.This area is at the foot of the mountain. The south and north sides are mountains. The murderer will not transport corpses from the mountain to increase his workload. The west side is a river, and the other side of the river is not far from the mountains. This side is not suitable for traffic. The only way out It is the road leading to the village in the east, with farmland on both sides of this road, and the murderer could only pass by this way if he transported the body.

It is impossible to tell which pair is the murderer's feet by footprints and the like, there are too many footprints here.There are always people in the village, so the murderer will not pass through the village, but will definitely go around the farmland and send the body to the destination.

"Bai Qiu, it's time to use you. Follow us, smell and see where there will be things falling from the corpse." Emperor Dragon Eagle squatted down and touched Bai Qiu's head. Beasts have a very sensitive sense of smell, and they must be able to smell them. There is no smell, and the smell of the things falling from the corpse must be very strong, and it can't be hidden from the nose of the monster.

"Woo..." Baiqiu was very happy because it could finally help.

"It's so smart, it can understand what you say. It's definitely not low. It's so cute, how can it be low?" Mo Yicheng's eyes were glued to his fluffy, soft and chubby body like white balls and pompoms, and he couldn't wait for it. Jump over and hug the white ball and run away.

Cuteness doesn't seem to have anything to do with rank, does it?Dilongying felt that there was something wrong with Mo Yicheng's logic and common sense.

"His rank is indeed not low, and he is also very smart. Whether we can find clues depends on him."

"I'm obviously a likable person, why doesn't your Baiqiu like me? Is the meat I gave not tasty?"

"He just doesn't like others touching him, it has nothing to do with your flesh and blood."

"Then what does it like to eat and what does it like?" Mo Yicheng tried his best to touch the white ball, it can be said that the deep cute control is hopeless.

"He likes fresh meat, and I like to tickle him and touch his head." Dilongying replied.

"..." My brother was heartbroken.

After searching around in the field, Bai Qiu found a clue. It brought the Emperor Dragon Eagle to the place where it found something. The ground there was dripping with corpse fluid. There was only one drop, but it was enough to prove that the murderer walked past after stealing the corpse. road.

"This is very close to the river. If the murderer wants to continue walking, he must cross the river. Let's go and have a look." Dilongying took a step ahead. In front of him was a small river, which was very shallow, almost knee-deep, and only a few meters wide. The water was so clear that the bottom could be seen, Dilongying and the others walked across the small river, and the water on the shoes and trousers was evaporated as soon as the Yuanli was running.

After crossing the river, Bai Qiu continued to sniff around, while Dilongying set his sights on the mountain not too far away from them after crossing the river.

This is a wasteland and there is no road. The murderer has to climb over the mountain to move the corpse. They can go to the mountain to see if there is anything.Bai Qiu ran ahead, and soon found another drop of corpse fluid, which was found at the foot of the mountain. The murderer really went up the mountain

There is no shortage of tall and low trees on the mountain. In front of Dilongying and the others is a bush, and an inconspicuous path has been stepped on in the middle of the bush. This "road" is empty because the bushes are slightly tilted to both sides. There is a small space, and it can be judged that someone has passed through this bush, more than once.

Entering the mountain forest, the branches broken by external force, the flowers and plants that were trampled and broken are all guiding Dilongying and Mo Yicheng. Experienced hunters rely on these details to hunt down their prey. Now the two are hunters, but they don’t Know if the prey will be too cunning

猾。

Tracking all the way, the two of them had already climbed over this mountain to another mountain. The sky was getting dark, and so much time had passed before they knew it.

"There's no need for us to go back. Let's just spend the night here. I'll go get some wild game for dinner. You can wait for me here, brother Qian." Mo Yicheng proposed to take a rest first and continue tomorrow.

"Okay, my husband is angry, you go and come back quickly." There are no monsters here, not all monsters will appear everywhere, so Dilongying is very relieved that Mo Yicheng will act alone.

"Bai Qiu, will you come with me? The wild game here is very delicious, and it's still hot." Mo Yicheng started to play with Bai Qiu again, and Bai Qiu threw himself into Emperor Longying's arms, begging for a hug, and ignored Mo Yicheng at all , this person is too annoying, always annoying it, really want to bite

he.

"Go quickly, Bai Qiu will come with me." Di Longying pinched Bai Qiu's soft claws, and Mo Yicheng's envious gaze almost turned into a real hook. He walked away step by step, making Di Longying Can't help but pity him.

"You made a great contribution today, what reward do you want? He can talk after he walks away." Dilongying rubbed Baiqiu's head, the soft hair felt particularly good.

"Rub my belly." Bai Qiu's pursuit was simple.

"Didn't I rub it for you every day? Change it to something that's a bit more difficult."

"Then you have to kiss me every day, touch my head, rub my belly, and hug me."

"Okay, as you wish. I really don't have any pursuit, and this is not a reward." Dilongying rubbed Bai Qiu's small nose, and Bai Qiu licked his face affectionately.

"This is my biggest pursuit. As long as I am with my father, I don't need anything else, because my father has given me everything I want."

"Good son, baby." Di Longying was oozing honey when he saw Bai Qiu's clear blue eyes. He hugged Bai Qiu's head, kissed him a few times, and then was licked by Bai Qiu.

The fire rose, Emperor Dragon Eagle waited for a while, and Mo Yicheng came back, holding a few chickens and rabbits in one hand, and pulling a vine with the other hand. It turned out that there was a wild boar that was killed How big, how small is a hundred catties.

"I'm back, why is no one welcoming me?" Mo Yicheng yelled, very dissatisfied with the indifference of Dilong Ying and Bai Qiu.

"Welcome back. The harvest is good. Are you tired? Would you like a glass of water?" Although the Emperor Dragon Eagle has no water attribute, it can still use relatively low-level water spells. It is not a problem to get two glasses of water.

"It's more or less the same. This wild boar is for Bai Qiu, Bai Qiu, how kind is your brother to you? You are so petty that you don't even let me touch it." Mo Yicheng deliberately sent the wild boar in front of Bai Qiu, and Bai Qiu lay down. On the ground, I didn't even bother to lift my eyelids.

It doesn't want to pay attention to this mentally handicapped human being, and talking to the mentally handicapped will lower the IQ.I suddenly thought of a knife, and no one used it to grind my teeth without the knife.

The forest was very quiet late at night, after dinner Mo Yicheng found a clean place and lay down to sleep.Dilongying didn't sleep, he leaned against the tree, smoothing the sleeping white ball's fur one after another, thinking about some messy things.

It took him a long time to wander the sky before he came back to his senses. Like Bai Qiu, he also wanted to use knives.I don't know where the knife is now, depending on the situation, the knife should arrive in Dazhen City a few days before him, and he doesn't know if he will jump when the knife can't wait.

At dawn, Dilongying called Mo Yicheng, who was drooling from sleep, and Bai Qiu was squatting obediently beside Dilongying. It was covered in snow white, and its blue eyes were like sapphires in the snow. Bright and beautiful, Mo Yicheng saw such an obedient and cute white ball as soon as he woke up, and almost fell asleep again without being stimulated.

"Please, let me touch it, I will die without regret!" Mo Yicheng threw himself in front of Bai Qiu, looking like an idiot.

"..." mentally handicapped human beings.

"Stop messing around, we should go, hurry up, the longer it takes, the harder it will be to find clues." Dilongying's face was horrible, so what?

That special "road" is still there. Dilongying and Mo Yicheng chased along the road to the foot of a very high mountain. Here is a place with a relatively wide view. There is a river and a waterfall on the mountain. Next, the two found a cave next to the waterfall, which was covered by a large number of vines. If Bai Qiu hadn't smelled a special smell here, they would not have found it.

"The murderer should be here, let's go in and have a look, be careful." Dilongying whispered, he first checked the entrance of the cave to see if there were any traps or defensive circles.

"Be careful too." Mo Yicheng followed Dilongying closely, and the two pushed aside the vines and entered the cave. The vines returned to their original shape and blocked the light. Damp and dark, with an ominous smell

The tunnel seemed very long, because the two walked for a while and did not see a fork or an end.The deeper you go, the stronger the weird smell becomes. Both of them have smelled it, and Bai Qiu has smelled it a long time ago. It smells like blood and rotten wood, mixed with other Indescribable smell, very bad smell.

This smell let Dilongying know that they guessed right, this must be the murderer's lair!

After walking a little further, when the smell was strong enough, both of them covered their mouths and noses, because they really didn't want to torture their noses anymore.
