Douluo Continent: Martial Soul - Mechanical Wolf, Creating an Unmanned Army

Chapter 100 The Evil Soul Master Who Devours Souls?

"I've already launched all the drones."

"Once we find any clues about my uncle, we should get feedback very quickly."

Jiang Cheng sent out all the drones he had to scout people.

Fortunately, he had previously recorded Jiang Ming's data, so once the person was located, the drone would automatically transmit the message back.

As for the mechanical wolves, they all stayed by his side to ensure his safety.

"Then you should rest well, you never know when you might need to take action."

Zhang Lexuan advised.

With her here, the two of them can use their Martial Soul Fusion Technique, making them stronger in combat.

She has no plans to return to the Sea God Pavilion for the time being.

Let's deal with Jiang Cheng's situation first.

"Um."

Jiang Cheng grabbed Zhang Lexuan around the waist and hoisted her onto his shoulder.

"What are you doing?"

Zhang Lexuan let out a gasp.

Everything was fine until suddenly they picked her up; it felt a bit strange.

"I'll take you to my room to wait for news."

Jiang Cheng did not go out to search on his own.

Compared to a swarm of hundreds of thousands of drones, his search efficiency is far too low.

It's better to stay home and wait for news, and conserve your energy.

"Put me down, I can walk by myself."

Zhang Lexuan felt helpless.

This was the first time she had ever been carried like this since she was a child. It wasn't like she couldn't be lifted up; why did they have to carry her like a pig?

"arrive."

Jiang Cheng put Zhang Lexuan down.

He climbed onto the bed on his own, hugged Zhang Lexuan in his arms, and obediently closed his eyes.

Zhang Lexuan leaned closer to him and quietly stayed by his side.

However, Zhang Lexuan did not rest.

She remained constantly alert to her surroundings, making sure no one would suddenly attack her.

This isn't the Sea God Pavilion, with so many top-tier experts here, so she needs to be on her guard.

Since the other party was able to destroy the city lord's mansion, they might still be watching from the shadows.

Two hours later.

Suddenly, the buzzing of a swarm of drones rang out above Jiang Cheng's house.

Just as Zhang Lexuan was about to wake Jiang Cheng, Jiang Cheng suddenly opened his eyes.

"Senior Sister, let's go."

Jiang Cheng grabbed Zhang Lexuan's hand, leaped, and jumped onto the drone.

The drone, carrying two people, quickly headed north.

Meanwhile, the drone also transmitted information to Jiang Cheng, revealing that there had indeed been new discoveries.

About fifteen minutes later.

The two arrived at a remote mountain village.

"Jiangjia Village?"

Jiang Cheng was slightly taken aback.

The village here is too quiet, which seems abnormal. Even at midnight, there should be animal sounds.

But there was only silence here.

Be careful.

Zhang Lexuan directly summoned her Martial Soul Moon.

Beneath her feet were eight spirit rings: two yellow, two purple, three black, and one red, which were particularly eye-catching.

Relying on the moonlight of their martial spirit, the pitch-black mountain village before them became very clear.

"These villagers are still alive, but they're kind of like the living dead."

Under the moonlight emanating from Zhang Lexuan's martial spirit, they could see some villagers standing or lying down.

These villagers still have a chance to live, although some have become emaciated and are on the verge of starvation.

"It was as if their souls had been devoured."

Jiang Cheng's expression was solemn.

Seeing these people from Jiangjia Village, he suspected that there were evil spirit masters appearing in Wanbei City.

The spirits of these people have clearly left their physical bodies.

In other words, at this time, the villagers of Jiangjia Village were just empty shells living on.

"It's the ability of an evil spirit master."

Zhang Lexuan even began to doubt whether her speculation was wrong.

If the City Lord's Mansion was also the work of evil spirit masters.

Those people were probably brutally murdered after they had lost their souls.

"Why Jiangjia Village?"

"I had the drone expand the area to continue the reconnaissance."

Jiang Cheng didn't believe it.

This is such a coincidence.

The only place where the souls of the evil spirit masters were devoured was Jiangjia Village.

Judging from its appearance, it must have happened before the massacre at the city lord's mansion.

The time interval between the two events was very short, within a single day.

"Since evil spirit masters are involved in this matter, I need to report it to the Sea God Pavilion and ask Shrek Academy to help investigate as well."

Zhang Lexuan took this matter to a new level.

Not a single mistake, not a single poem, not a single post, not a single piece of content, not a single look!

Originally, finding the culprit who destroyed the city lord's mansion was her and Jiang Cheng's business.

Now, when it comes to evil spirit masters, it's a matter for the entire continent, and for Shrek Academy.

"I'll keep looking."

Jiang Cheng began to walk around.

He vaguely remembered that within the Holy Spirit Cult, there seemed to be titled Douluo who could devour spiritual power and souls.

It seems he needs to have the mechanical wolf disguise itself as an evil spirit master and infiltrate the Holy Spirit Cult.

With his current strength, he is simply incapable of destroying the Holy Spirit Cult.

Moreover, he hadn't yet determined whether the City Lord's Mansion was destroyed by the Evil Soul Master.

"The Heavenly Soul Royal Family, the Body Sect, and the Holy Spirit Cult."

"You better pray that you didn't kidnap your uncle, and you didn't kill your aunt."

Jiang Cheng plans to explore all three routes simultaneously.

For him, manpower was not a problem at all; the mechanical wolves were perfectly capable of handling the task.

"Any other discoveries?"

Zhang Lexuan wandered around Jiangjia Village but found nothing.

Compared to her, Jiang Cheng possesses the eye of insight, which might allow him to discover things that she cannot.

"no."

"Only those who have lost their souls."

Jiang Cheng found nothing.

He had been in Wanbei City for so long, and had tens of thousands of drones conduct a carpet search, before he finally found this remote little mountain village.

Besides the name Jiangjia Village, there's also the timeline of these villagers' soul loss, which was not discovered until shortly before the incident at the City Lord's Mansion.

"Shall we go and investigate the evil spirit master first?"

Zhang Lexuan suggested.

Based on the current clues, the only thing that can be confirmed is that a cultist has been here.

"Hey, there's someone over there."

Jiang Cheng then made a new discovery.

The two exchanged a glance and hurried towards the mountains.

At the speed of the swarm drones, they were already some distance away from Jiangjia Village.

"The Fiery Red-Clad Ghost"

"Don't eat me. Don't eat me..."

When the two arrived, an old man dressed in tattered clothes was talking incoherently.

Are there any other villages nearby?

Judging from her attire, Zhang Lexuan believed she was a villager from some village, as her hands had calluses from farm work.

His clothes didn't look like they had accumulated stains over the years, so he didn't look like a beggar.

"The drones have not detected anything so far."

The surrounding area is practically deserted.

There aren't many households in the entire Jiangjia Village; the villagers living there are mostly elderly people who are unable to move out.

Jiang Cheng did not find any able-bodied men or children.

"Take him back to Jiangjia Village first."

Zhang Lexuan wasn't sure if this person had any connection to Jiangjia Village.

Therefore, let's take it back first and see if there are any special measures we can take.

"That's what I think too."

Jiang Cheng had two mechanical wolves carry the old man onto their backs and then slowly headed towards Jiangjia Village.

This is a desolate and wild place, and it is already quite unusual for an old man to come here alone.

Judging from the marks on his clothes, they must have been recently rubbed against the flowers and plants, and the colors were still quite fresh.

He may have escaped from Jiangjia Village.
