I took the saint

Chapter 360
The last place where the missing boy appeared was in the wasteland behind the God Emperor's Academy.According to the location given in the information, Su Ze came to the location that Nanran pointed out to him today.

This place is also a wasteland.

There is only grass everywhere, no trees.

"It stands to reason that there shouldn't be children playing in this kind of place." Su Ze muttered to himself.

Children should like lively places. Children should not appear in such a dangerous and remote wasteland.

Suo Suo~
There was a strange noise from all around. Hearing the sound, Su Ze drew out his long sword and rose into the air.

Standing on a high place overlooking the bottom, this time, he unexpectedly found an acquaintance.

"This ghostly place is really hard to walk! The dead grass is almost taller than me, making it hard for me to walk!"

Mu Xiaoxiao's voice came from below. At this time, Mu Xiaoxiao was bending over to look for the materials for the mission.

As she walked, she felt tired, so she stood up straight, twisted her waist and moved around a bit.

"Xiao Xiao, why are you here?" Su Ze, who was flying in the air, asked curiously.

Hearing the sound, Mu Xiaoxiao noticed Su Ze in the air.

Looking up at Su Ze, she said in surprise, "Boss, why are you here?!"

"I'm asking you! What are you doing here?" Su Ze asked.

He stared curiously at the bottom, there was a piece of withered grass underneath, withered and yellow, and there was nothing good to see at all.

Mu Xiaoxiaohan replied with a smile: "Of course it is to collect the fifty mushrooms on the task!"

"Mushroom?" Hearing this, Su Ze couldn't help but feel curious.

Could it be that the task of collecting mushrooms is what the shopkeeper said, the ingredients of the academy?
"That's right, it's a mushroom. This task is relatively simple, but he can still get a point!" Mu Xiaoxiao smiled with satisfaction, simple and bright.

Su Ze was a little surprised by her attitude.

If I remember correctly, when I set the price with Sun Qi, he even offered 50 taels!

The price of 50 taels must be the price set for ingredients such as mushrooms!

"Well, then you work hard, I also want to complete my task." Su Ze nodded with a smile.

Standing on the sword, he began to observe the wasteland in a large area.

Soon, he discovered that the color of withered grass would become darker after being pressed.When I walked in, I realized that a lot of withered grass had been broken off.

"Boss, what is your mission? Is it a rare mission?" Mu Xiaoxiao approached him curiously and asked.

Hearing this, Su Ze shook his head and explained: "It's not a particularly difficult task, it's just helping people find the missing child."

"Looking for children? Then why did you come here? Logically speaking, shouldn't children be running around in the market?" Mu Xiaoxiao continued to ask.

At this time, she had already forgotten her mission and was only focusing on Su Ze.

Su Ze stared at the withered grass seriously, nodded intently, and said in a deep voice, "Yes, but it is recorded in the data that this is the place where the child disappeared last."

"It sounds like the child's family knows his whereabouts and deliberately let him play here. When he disappeared, did he know that the child was missing?" Mu Xiaoxiao also analyzed.

Speaking of this, Su Ze seemed to think of something.

Looking down at Mu Xiaoxiao beside him, he asked, "A five- or six-year-old child should be very short. Xiaoxiao, how tall are you when you squat on the ground?"

"Me? I squatted on the ground and walked. Naturally, it was about the same height as a five or six-year-old child." Mu Xiaoxiao responded seriously.

She is petite, squatting, and she is indeed about the height of a child.But walking is not as easy as a child.

Hearing this, Su Ze nodded, and said seriously: "Okay, let's start again from the entrance! You walk squatting, and try to find the path stepped on by children."

This time the withered grass grew densely, the top was crowded, but the bottom was sparse. If she was asked to walk at the child's pace, she should be able to find the child's trace at that time.

Mu Xiaoxiao nodded, put away the basket, and prepared to help.

"Give me the basket, and I'll help you carry it. Be careful yourself. If you encounter trouble, just call me loudly. I will watch you from the sky." Su Ze explained seriously.

Mu Xiaoxiao handed him the basket, looked at the mushrooms in the basket, and said hastily, "Then, when I find the child for you, can you pick mushrooms with me?"

Hearing this, Su Ze was slightly taken aback, seeing her sincere eyes, Su Ze nodded with a smile, and agreed: "Okay."

"Thank you, big boss!" With Su Ze's words, Mu Xiaoxiao was full of joy.

The two came to the original entrance of the wasteland. From the starting point, Mu Xiaoxiao squatted down and walked through the roots of the withered grass.

As she walked, she soon discovered a smaller "passage".

Along the "passage", she walked forward without looking back.

After walking for a long time, she didn't come out until there was no dry grass in front of her.

"Boss, I'm here!" After coming out, Mu Xiaoxiao hurriedly called Su Ze.

Hearing the sound, Su Ze flew over in a hurry.

He came to her side and took the initiative to help her remove the grass leaves from her head.

"How? Is there really a road inside?" Su Ze asked.

Mu Xiaoxiao nodded, and said seriously: "That's right, there is indeed a road, but that road is a bit detoured, and I have been wandering in it for a long time. Follow that road, I just came out from here!"

Pointing to the "passage" that just came out, Mu Xiaoxiao looked serious.

Su Ze stepped forward to check. The passage was not big, but it was just enough for a child to walk.

Squat down and observe the broken grass in the passage.

"The bottom is broken in a small area, and there are traces of breaking in the middle. The space inside should be opened by hand. It seems that the child should have come out from here." Su Ze analyzed carefully.

Now that man has come out of it, where does he go next?

Turn around to face the scenery behind you, carefully observe the scenery here, almost all the trees behind you.These trees were not destroyed, the child should have bypassed these trees.

"The terrain here is too low, we need to stand higher." Su Ze said seriously, facing Mu Xiaoxiao, he said in a deep voice: "Give me your hand, let's stand higher."

Hearing this, Mu Xiaoxiao was taken aback, stretched out her hand with some hesitation, and stood beside Su Ze nervously, her little face getting redder and redder.

Su Ze grabbed her hand, stepped on the long sword, and took her flying with the sword.

Standing on the long sword, the two looked down from the air to observe the mountains below.

"There are two roads from here. One leads to the farther wasteland, which happens to be Nanran's territory. The other leads to the mountain behind." Su Ze said seriously.

If it was going down the mountain, then the child should have gone home.But the other party has never come to Ruoxi Building to cancel the release of resources, which means that the child has not returned home.

Taking Mu Xiaoxiao along, Su Ze walked along the road leading to Nanran's territory.

The road here is full of trees and flowers, and the scenery is much better than that of the land just now.
