Sky Surveying Demon Hunt

Chapter 566
The so-called Luofengpo is just a saying that has been handed down from unknown when, saying that there was a phoenix, a divine bird, that once landed here.

Therefore, the local people came up with such a name.

There are countless similar place names in Kyushu, even a young man like Zhong Lei, who is going out for the first time, knows it and doesn't pay attention to it.

After leaving the county town and walking south for more than ten miles, Zhong Lei saw that the road ahead had come to an end, and further away was an upward mountain forest.

"According to what the yamen clerk said, this is Luofengpo, it's really a rumor, it's just a small slope, nothing to praise."

Zhong Lei smiled lightly, without any hesitation, and strode into the forest.

"What kind of evil spirits can come out of this small place? Anyone with a little bit of ability will not choose to stay here. You can almost see most of the corners and corners at a glance, and it's still Luofengpo, heh."

"The so-called Chen Qi's arrest is really useless. Such a trivial matter will take a day and a night? I think it's either that I am a good-for-nothing who was dragged down by the evil spirits, or I went lazy in the name of running errands...haha, that's true." Quite the same as me, I always find excuses to be lazy at home."

During the time he spoke, Zhong Lei had already gone deep into the forest.

Although this mountain forest is not big, there should be some insects and birds singing, but at this moment, Zhong Lei's surroundings are completely silent.

But he didn't care, until he saw a corpse lying down on the way into the mountain ahead, and finally stopped in his tracks.

Perhaps it was because he had been courageous since he was a child, or because he was extremely confident in himself, Zhong Lei looked at the corpse in front of him with great interest, and even reached out to fiddle with it twice.

"It turned out to be a mummy, and it was still wearing the demon trapping costume of Jiantiansi. It seems that it was a demon trap from Luoxia County? It was only a day before and after being killed by the evil spirits. Could it be the demon clan who sucked people's yang energy? Or some ghosts with strange means?"

After thinking for a moment, Zhong Lei couldn't think of a reason, so he stopped caring and continued to go deep into the forest.

"Whether it's a monster or a ghost, they are not the opponents of my Zhong family's Lihuo Jue. Although I have a thin blood, my means are just enough to restrain these evil spirits. Uncle Zhong has to do it."

While going deep into the forest with increasing enthusiasm, Zhong Lei gradually felt a little cold.

"How can it be so cold in Victoria in July?"

He frowned, mobilized a little spiritual power, and warmed up his body again.

It's just that this mere warmth lasted for a while before being replaced by coldness.

"Forget it, I'm young, so this little bit of cold is nothing."

Zhong Lei shook his head and ignored it, continuing to go deeper.

Finally, the road ahead of him came to an end, and further away was a cliff.

On the edge of the cliff, there were several corpses lying here and there, just like the ones I saw on the way here, they were all mummies.

Huhu
The howling cold wind finally added a little noise to the completely silent surroundings.

Zhong Lei stepped forward to investigate, and finally found the man in the head-hunting costume on the edge of the cliff.

Walking closer, Zhong Lei was surprised to find that this person hadn't died yet, but he seemed to be on the verge of dying.

It seemed as if he was holding his last breath and waiting for someone to arrive.

"Under Zhong Lei, the new demon catcher in Luoxia County from Yucheng, you are the head catcher Chen Qi, right?" Zhong Lei asked.

Chen Butou tried his best to raise his head. After glancing at Zhong Lei, he tried his best to raise his finger and point to the direction he came from.

"Ghost escape."

The mere two words, almost exhausted all the strength of Chen Butou. After saying these two words, he tilted his head and fell to the ground, and there was no more movement.

"Sure enough, it was the work of ghosts!" Zhong Lei narrowed his eyes and said with a sneer, "Although you are a bit useless, but fortunately I am here, at least I can avenge you! It's just ghosts."

While speaking, Zhong Lei felt some itching on the back of his neck.

He raised his hand to scratch, but he didn't scratch the back of his neck, but touched something cold.

"Huh? What?"

He glanced back, but his pupils shrank.

"Baby heads?"

thump.

Zhong Lei's body fell to the ground with a muffled sound.

Beside the cliff, the cold wind still howled.

It's still cloudy.

Yucheng, in the government office.

"What did you say?!" Lin Ji stood up abruptly, staring at Gao Ling in front of him.

Gao Ling was overwhelmed by Lin Ji's power, subconsciously stepped back half a step, and stood still with restraint.

Fortunately, he knew that this power was not aimed at himself.

"A total of nine people were killed in the Luoxia county government's arrest of demons." Gao Ling lowered his head and repeated the news just now, "The corpses were collected by the county government servants. None of the nine corpses had external injuries, but they were all mummies. , only three or two days before and after."

Hearing this, Lin Ji took a deep breath and sat down again.

"You arranged for that boy Zhong Lei to go to Luoxia County, right?"

Gao Ling swallowed, and nodded with some difficulty.

"It's Chen Qi from Luoxia County who is my old subordinate. He treats his subordinates quite harshly. He is also a capable person, and Luoxia County is not too far from Yucheng."

Lin Ji waved his hands a little annoyed.

"I mean, what about Zhong Lei? Didn't the news say whether he was dead or alive?"

"Didn't say, but."

"but?"

"In Luoxia County, there are only eight demon hunters and head hunters in total."

Originally there were only eight people, but after Zhong Lei left, there were now nine people.

Lin Ji raised his forehead, speechless.

Seeing this, Gao Ling said: "My lord, do you want Zhang Ling to go? Chu Zhangling is still stabilizing his foundation in Yucheng recently, so he can just let him"

"I will go in person." Lin Ji shook his head, "After all, he is my fiancée's younger brother, who is sent out to practice, and the talent will be gone when he arrives. He must give an explanation."

Hearing this, Gao Ling nodded slightly.

If there is an adult in charge, no troubles are considered troubles.

Lin Ji was silent for a moment with an ugly expression on his face, then he stood up suddenly and said, "I'm leaving right away. Before I come back, you have to arrange two things."

"Sir, please speak."

"You have to hand in the candidate for the chief arrester in Victoria. Now that you are the Star Tour Officer, you can't continue to be the chief arrester. This is not good for your practice, and it also breaks the rules."

"This subordinate remembers it."

"Luoxia County's new head arrester and arrester candidates, you have to rearrange from all over Victoria, and you have to tear down the east wall to make up for the west wall. You can figure it out."

"As ordered."

"That's it, go down and get busy."

Lin Ji waved his hand, but then he walked out of the study first, and went directly to the backyard of the government office.

In the small courtyard, Zhong Xiaoyan and Lianyu were sitting side by side, talking in a low voice, while Ah Ling was lying beside them.

Seeing Zhong Xiaoyan, Lin Ji didn't talk nonsense.

"Your clan brother died, I have to deal with it first, will you go?"
