Cultivation begins with the Druid panel

Hearing Lu Lin agree, the woman breathed a sigh of relief. She then picked up the already grilled fish and began to wolf it down. In just a short while, she had finished all three fish on the fire.

Lu Lin watched from the side, his lips twitching slightly. Although she was petite and delicate, she was indeed a bodyguard, eating with such wildness.

"What's your name?" Lu Lin asked after watching the woman swallow the last piece of fish.

"Sang Ling." Sang Ling didn't hide anything and continued, "I am a镖人 (bodyguard/escort) from the Tongren镖局 (escort agency). Three days ago, I was ordered to escort a batch of spirit plant seeds to Guling City, but they were robbed on the way."

Kirito Escort Agency.

Heading to Ancient Spirit City?

Lu Lin's eyes flashed as he memorized this information and asked curiously, "Do you know the identities of those robbers?"

"I don't know, but the strongest of those robbers was a cultivator at the sixth level of the Qi Refining stage. He was very powerful. It was he who cut off the merchant guild and captured us." Sang Ling was clearly not very strong in this Kirito Escort Agency.

"So what's the background of the merchant guild you're escorting?" Lu Lin then asked.

"I don't know. Only the senior members of the escort agency know this. We are just escorts." Sang Ling, and even her sister, did not have a high status in the Kirito Escort Agency. To put it bluntly, they were just two ordinary escorts who relied on their labor to run missions.

Lu Lin felt it was a pity.

He felt that the group that robbed the merchant guild was very likely related to the gang behind the Human Blood Spirit Plant. If he could know the identities of those robbers, he could take precautions in advance.

"Our Kirito Escort Agency has a fixed supply point on the road to Ancient Spirit City. There are Lieyang carriages at the supply point. I'm a member of the Kirito Escort Agency and also a member of this escort team, so I can directly apply for a carriage and chase after them all the way to Ancient Spirit City," Sang Ling assured, patting her chest. But then, somewhat embarrassed, she looked at Lu Lin and asked:

"I just don't know if you have a map? If you don't have a map, those supply points are really hard to find."

Upon hearing this, Lu Lin took out a map from his Qiankun bag and gave it to Sang Ling.

Sang Ling, wrapped in a thin cloth, carefully browsed through the contents of the map, then looked around to confirm their location before closing the map again.

"The nearest supply point to Kirito Escort Agency isn't far from here, less than twenty li. If we're fast enough, we can get there in a quarter of an hour." Sang Ling handed the map back to Lu Lin and continued, "Your map is very detailed; it shouldn't be wrong."

Twenty li? Lu Lin estimated in his mind that the distance wasn't too far and was acceptable.

"Which direction?" Lu Lin asked.

Sang Ling pointed to the river and said, "Just follow this river eastward, and you should see it then."

Lu Lin looked in the direction Sang Ling was pointing, then looked at Sang Ling again, and reached out his hand.

Sang Ling understood Lu Lin's meaning, but just as she was about to transform, a cool breeze hit her, and she realized that she wasn't wearing any clothes. She said to Lu Lin, "Could I have some clothes?"

Lu Lin casually took out a piece of clothing from his Qiankun bag and threw it to her, then turned around and said, "You'd better put this on quickly, I don't want to look at it."

"Thank you." Sang Ling nodded, took the clothes in her hands, and began to put them on, using the thin cloth as a cover.

……

……

Half an hour later, the morning glow appeared. After Sang Ling finished dressing, she made a hand seal in front of her chest. A white light appeared, and the loose clothes on Sang Ling's body began to shrink. Her messy hair was also tied up high. She was almost completely transformed, and her temperament became very capable.

"Then let's set off." After Lu Lin finished speaking, he used the Wind Control Technique, and his whole body rose with the wind, heading east along the river. It had just rained in the forest, and the road was very muddy. As Lu Lin traveled, he deliberately scanned the area with his eyes.

I saw a lot of footprints on the road, some of them human, some of them horse-drawn carriages.

Many of the footprints pointed towards the post station where Lu Lin left last night, and it seemed that the footprints had only appeared recently, within the last two hours.

"It seems the mastermind behind this has realized something is wrong," Lu Lin murmured, quickening his pace.

Although Sang Ling was also at the third level of Qi Refining, she did not know the Wind Control Technique, making her much slower than Lu Lin. In addition, she was seriously injured, making it extremely difficult for her to travel.

But she still tried her best to keep up with Lu Lin, maintaining a distance of ten zhang between them.

"Could these footprints all belong to people from the Kirito Escort Agency?" Lu Lin thought it was unlikely.

A bad feeling rose in his heart. He jumped onto a tree branch, stopped walking, and waited for Sang Ling to catch up with him. Only after they stood together on the branch did Lu Lin ask:

"Were all these footprints left by your Kirito Escort Agency?"

The woman glanced down and said, "No, the guards from the Kirito Escort Agency all wear the same shoes, so the footprints aren't like this."

Lu Lin stood on a tree branch, looking up into the distance. The cold wind whipping his face cleared his head somewhat. He continued, "What is the strongest member of your Kirito Escort Agency at this supply point?"

"Usually it's the third level of the Qi Refining stage," Sang Ling replied.

Only the third level of Qi Refining? Lu Lin frowned slightly, but there was no better option at the moment, so he had to risk going to the supply point. He hoped that the owner of these footprints on the ground was not the mastermind behind it all, otherwise he would be walking into a trap.

The speed of the Wind Riding Technique was not slow, and half an hour later Lu Lin saw the so-called supply point that Sang Ling had mentioned.

But the scene here was completely different from what Lu Lin had imagined. There were several wooden stakes lying on the ground, connected by hemp ropes, forming a circle. Three fierce horses were grazing inside the circle. The houses inside the circle had collapsed. It was unclear whether it was due to the heavy rain or human destruction, but Lu Lin leaned towards the latter.

In addition, the ground at the supply point was covered with a large number of messy footprints, just like the ones we had seen on the road earlier.

In the center, two corpses lay, their necks still wet with blood, which had formed pools of blood on the ground.

Lu Lin immediately released his Druid's senses but detected no danger. The entire supply point covered about three acres, but apart from three scattered Sun Horses, there were no other survivors.

Once he was sure it was safe, Lu Lin jumped down from the tree branch.

pat!

He stepped onto the ground, splashing mud and water everywhere. Sang Ling finally caught up, but instead of lingering beside Lu Lin, she quickly stepped forward, knelt down in front of the two corpses on the ground, touched their necks, and immediately turned to Lu Lin, saying:

"The blood is still warm, so the time of death is no more than an hour."

It seems that the owner of those footprints was responsible for this.

Lu Lin also came in, looked around, and saw that the supply point had a total of three rooms and three carports.

The horse Lieyang was still there, and the carriage was left untouched in the shed, but the house had collapsed and people were dead, which was rather strange.

After all, in Lu Lin's opinion, the most valuable thing in this supply point was these three horses.

The fact that the horse wasn't lost indicates that the group's target wasn't the Lieyang Horse, but rather the Kirito Escort Agency itself.

Sang Ling paced back and forth around the supply point, finally exclaiming angrily, "The supplies at the supply point haven't decreased, but the escort route map is gone. Those bandits haven't given up on robbing the goods after all!"

But after she finished speaking, Sang Ling noticed that Lu Lin had already led the three fiery horses onto the carriage.

"This place is no place to linger; I need to get going. Do you want to leave too?"

Sang Ling asked, "Where are you going?"

"Ancient Spirit City".

"Then let's go together," Sang Ling said quickly. She must have been worried about her sister's safety, because she immediately got into the carriage.
