Starting as an infant, with parents who are blond-haired delinquents?

Zhang Chaoqiang had many opportunities to demonstrate his abilities during this mission, and he was able to gain a sense of satisfaction from showcasing his value.

This would naturally increase the friction and ties between them, which would then connect them to the Bureau of Investigation, wouldn't it?

Zhang Chaoqiang nodded. He knew what Huang Feng meant. He sniffed the air and said to be honest, not being able to smell anything was indeed very uncomfortable.

This mountain wilderness should naturally contain the scent of soil, the smell of bird and animal droppings, the fresh scent of plants, and the clean scent of morning dew.

It's really annoying that you can't smell anything these days; the photinia flowers completely cover up all kinds of scents.

He used the diffusion technique on Huang Feng, experimenting and trying several times before finally managing to diffuse the perfume scent on the other person.

They peered into the noses of Bai Lu and the other survey team members and unanimously agreed: "The perfume scent is noticeably weaker. It turns out that when the scent of this whale musk flower isn't so sharp, it's actually quite pleasant."

"Come closer, Uncle Huang Feng."

They followed Zhang Chaoqiang's instructions, but as soon as they approached, the scent of Huang Feng's perfume became even more pronounced, so they quietly walked away and kept a certain distance from Huang Feng.

"Using this place as the starting point, within a radius of ten kilometers, dig three feet into the ground and see if you can find any trace of the Photinia Spirit Flower!"

While Huang Feng and Bai Lu were instructing their team members to carry out their tasks, they, along with Zhang Chaoqiang, used Zhang Chaoqiang's special abilities to investigate whether there was anything unusual about the smell in the air.

"Uncles, are there really no problems or side effects with this energy supplement?"

Zhang Chaoqiang was clearly suspicious of the small bottle, which resembled a nasal spray, that the two men were handing him.

Bai Lu patted Zhang Chaoqiang on the shoulder, telling him not to worry, and explained, "This kind of mental supplement is the latest supplement developed by the Central Government. It's effective for mental levels below level six..."

There will be no drawbacks or negative effects, let alone side effects.

"Given your mental level, Comrade Zhang Chaoqiang, one bottle of mental replenishment can fully restore your mental energy approximately two hundred times. Therefore, you can use [Diffusion] with confidence, and you can also use mental replenishments with confidence!"

He said it like this.

So the three of them investigated the area for a while but found nothing.

Similarly, the surrounding investigators also conducted a thorough excavation of the surrounding area, covering several kilometers.

From their offensive power, Zhang Chaoqiang saw what a truly overwhelming offensive was.

All I could see was them each using their own martial arts techniques.

Vast areas of ground, whether soil or rocks from the surrounding mountains, were reduced to ashes and dust in the next instant.

This kind of imagery is simple and direct.

There aren't many special effects; it's just the most basic bombardment of spiritual energy with an intensity of tens of thousands of ppm.

There was a powerful beauty to it; Zhang Chaoqiang felt it tangibly, with an overwhelming and magnificent aura.

A few minutes later, they returned empty-handed.

Most of them did not find any trace of the photinia flower in the surrounding area.

Furthermore, the surrounding animals and various ecological environments are very well preserved and do not appear to have been disturbed.

There was no trace of it in the soil or in any place where heather could grow.

After the ground was leveled again, eight or nine of them had searched for nearly ten kilometers, but still found nothing.

At least in the entire area covered by the Jushan Mountains, spanning several hundred kilometers, no valuable clues have been found at the foot of the mountains.

Just as they were preparing to proceed with further exploration, the voice of the fighter pilot suddenly came through the communication device.

Although the detection instruments and conditions under the cover of the photinia flower could not detect the scent or life energy fluctuations.

However, the most basic sound vibration phenomenon cannot be concealed by the Photinia flower.

"Beep beep, I've caught someone here who's about to go up the mountain. He claims he's here for sightseeing..."

"Stay where you are, I'm coming out!"

Huang Feng instructed Bai Lu and the others to protect Zhang Chaoqiang. Although there were only ordinary birds and beasts nearby, they posed no threat to Zhang Chaoqiang, a first-level martial artist.

But don’t be afraid of ten thousand, just be afraid of the unexpected.

After all, this is quite strange. If there isn't a single trace of Photinia Spirit Flower on the outskirts of Jushan, then it's hard to imagine that the entire Jushan area is enveloped in such a strong scent of Photinia Spirit Flower...

Then they must have gathered inside the Jushan mountain range or on the mountain itself.

From this vantage point, if there are enough flowers, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that they could cover the entire Jushan Mountain.

Within a short time, Huang Feng brought over the person who claimed to be a tourist.

This person was a fifth-level martial artist, and after seeing their large formation and so many people, he did not show any signs of anything amiss.

He was wearing mountaineering clothes, and the backpack on his back appeared to contain climbing equipment.

In this situation, this person is the most suspicious, and they were subsequently questioned.

"My name is Liu Feng, and I'm from Shangzhou. I've come here to explore the scenery of the Minjiang River again. I'm someone who loves challenges and conquering nature, and Jushan Mountain is very challenging. I still wanted more, so I came here alone to travel and take pictures around Jushan..."

He said this, and it seemed that Huang Feng had paid special attention to the other party's state, as there was no sign of guilt in his words.

But something's not quite right...

While everyone was paying attention to his emotional fluctuations and checking his entry and exit records in Minjiang City, Zhang Chaoqiang noticed the word "again" in his words.

He tugged at Bai Lu's sleeve, and then everyone understood and released all their spiritual power and aura in unison.

In an instant, Liu Feng was horrified, because all eighteen people simultaneously released their own spiritual energy, unable to withstand such terrifying pressure, and collapsed to the ground...

"How did this kid manage to reveal his own secrets in such a calm tone and with such emotion?"

Huang Feng patted his head.

Subsequently, the surrounding investigators gave Huang Feng the search records.

Liu Feng is indeed from Shangzhou, but recently, several theft cases have occurred in Shangzhou.

Furthermore, it is suspected in Guangxi that the thief used a potion made from photinia flowers to mask his scent and spiritual energy fluctuations.

A sixth-tier crystal core, a fifth-tier deep-sea shark's advanced armor, and ten other items have been stolen...

Bai Lu and Huang Feng took stock of the situation, glancing at the other party's disoriented state, which seemed to be just like the black-clad thief before, in a daze.

Then he punched him twice, trying to see if the other person could come to his senses, and grabbed the bulging backpack behind him.

Upon opening it, it turned out to be just ordinary mountaineering equipment.

Just as the group was about to investigate him further, Zhang Chaoqiang, under the pressure of their auras that rendered Liu Feng unable to move, took out Liu Feng's spatial ring and handed it to Huang Feng.

brush!

Huang Feng grabbed Liu Feng again and made him use his mental level to open the spatial ring.

Otherwise, he might have suffered a bit.

At first, Liu Feng's attitude gradually changed from calm to resistance, and he kept shaking his head.

"The spiritual level is mainly located in the brain, but the blood between your eyebrows and temples, as well as the blood in your heart, also contain genes related to the spiritual level."

"With just blood from these areas as a catalyst, we can have a unique method to open your spatial ring."

"Therefore, the blood in the center of the forehead, temples, and heart is called the essence blood of a martial artist. If it is arbitrarily removed, it will at least cause the martial artist's spirit to dissipate and his cultivation to decline."

Many suffer from the loss of their talent, mental breakdown, and complete madness…

After Huang Feng had subtly intimidated the other person and left a gap in the precise location, he pointed his finger at the person's heart...

Because this is where it hurts the most…

"I'll drive! I'll drive!"

Upon being discovered, Liu Feng acted swiftly, fearing that the other party might actually try to steal his vital essence.

The Deep Sea Shark Crystal Core serves as the energy source for the cutting-edge armor, along with numerous high-level monster crystal cores, including some with rare bloodline-level crystal cores.

All of these together are probably worth at least tens of millions, and are likely close to eight figures.

With this level of skill, Liu Feng can definitely be considered a seasoned thief.

Moreover, in less than half an hour, they gained quite a lot.

Previously, Huang Feng, Bai Lu, Zhang Chaoqiang, and their group discovered that these people entering Jushan were carrying rare items they had stolen from various places…

The behavior was like offering sacrifices.

"How to say?"

"You brought these stolen items back to Jushan. Is there some entity secretly instructing you?"

Huang Feng held the small, exquisite crystal core, tossed it around in the air as he played with it, and asked Liu Feng a question.

Liu Feng's eyes, however, held a hint of confusion...

His eyes were somewhat unfocused, and he finally murmured, "I don't know, what ordered me? What ordered me?"

The other party's condition seemed to be exactly the same as that of the black-clad thief who committed the crime at the Castle Hotel.

They were all vague in their answers, and when asked why they had the idea of ​​stealing, they could hardly give a proper explanation.

After another round of questioning, Liu Feng maintained his previous statement.

My original intention was to return here to enjoy the scenery again.

He had nothing to say about the theft, because it was what he did. But when asked why, he said it wasn't out of greed or a desire to increase his cultivation level.

Like the thief in black, he had inexplicably entertained the idea of ​​theft.

Even when asked what his destination on Jushan Mountain was, he couldn't answer. He only claimed to be sightseeing; why would he need a real destination?

The investigators were thinking that the actual situation was probably more serious than they had imagined.

"Comrade Zhang Chaoqiang, it's your turn to perform again!"

Chapter 180 Sneak Attack

Then the group began questioning Liu Feng, specifically regarding the fact that Liu Feng had already been exposed last time, and that the abnormal state he exhibited was exactly the same as everyone else's.

Therefore, he repeatedly emphasized that he had no idea why he suddenly had that thought of stealing, which led everyone to believe that he must have encountered something in the Jushan Mountains.

Therefore, by following the mountain path he took, we can gradually uncover the truth of the matter.

What person or thing, or even the possibility of theft, influenced Liu Feng and then, after he stole the valuables, led him back to Jushan...?

Presumably, those things are quietly waiting for Liu Feng on the road he came from.
