Chapter 44 Two people can't make up one brain

On Mount Daluo, Lu Yuan asked them to go back and pack their things and set off immediately.

Lu Yuan rode on a cloud and flew towards the foot of Daluo Mountain. Xiao Huang, who was beside him, carried Chen Nanxuan and Xiao Huo, and the two turned into golden light and followed closely behind Lu Yuan.

Chen Nanxuan and Xiao Huo are both at the Qi Refining level.

As their strength has not reached the foundation building stage, Teng Yun’s magic is temporarily difficult to cast. If Xiao Huang doesn’t take them flying, they can only ride horses.

Lu Yuan thought about it and decided to forget it. Last time he asked Chen Nanxuan to go to Liuhuo City on horseback by himself, this guy almost killed himself.

If we let the two Qi Refining Stage masters travel alone, who knows what kind of trouble will happen along the way. It is better for them to go together.

…

A stick of incense later, two streams of light descended from dozens of miles away from Daluo Mountain. Under the feet of Lu Yuan and Xiao Huang was a small village.

This village is called Jiming Village. There are more than a hundred households in the village. Lu Yuan fell into the village.

The village was completely silent, and fell into an eerie silence. It was lunchtime, and there was no smoke or the aroma of food coming from the chimneys of the entire village.

On the contrary, as we went deeper into the village, we smelled a strong smell of blood and stench.

The ground was covered with traces of blood plasma, which was now in a semi-solidified state and felt sticky when stepped on.

There were corpses on both sides of the road in the village. Each of them had been disemboweled and their internal organs were missing. Many crows were lingering on the corpses, whose blood had already coagulated, and were eating the rotten flesh.

When Lu Yuan and others passed by, a group of crows flapped their wings and flew up and down again, obviously reluctant to give up the meat in their mouths.

This was the first time Lu Yuan had seen such a bloody scene since he traveled through time, and he couldn't help but feel a little jealous.

Before he traveled through time, all the movies he watched on Earth were censored, and any overseas movies that were even slightly bloody would not pass the censorship.

It was really hard for him to bear seeing such a scene all of a sudden. The reason he didn't vomit on the spot was because he used his cultivation to regulate his body and suppressed the acid.

Xiao Huo's face was also pale, and it was obvious that he had never seen such a scene before.

Although he had followed Master Xuan Youli for a year and a half, he had never come across a village that had been massacred by the Demon Cult. He had never expected such a tragic scene before coming here.

In comparison, Chen Nanxuan was the only one among the group who didn't show much expression, so he was much calmer.

After all, he is a reborn person. It is hard to say what Chen Nanxuan's character and personality are like, but his psychological quality has been cultivated for five hundred years in his previous life and is definitely not comparable to that of ordinary people. This kind of scene has no effect on him.

Chen Nanxuan had fought with people from the Demon Cult before, and he had seen scenes of large-scale demon cults massacring villages, cities, and even ancient countries.

But to be honest, this time it's a bit heavy.

…

Lu Yuan's golden elixir consciousness swept the entire village, but did not find a single survivor.

It seems that if we want to find clues, we can only look at these corpses.

Lu Yuan himself could not bear such a bloody scene, and of course he had no intention of investigating it himself.

Lu Yuan: I am the clan leader, do I need to do this kind of rough work myself?

Then he asked his three disciples, Chen Nanxuan, Xiao Huo and Xiao Huang, to check the bodies to see if they could find any clues, while he himself waited outside the village.

There was no way. The corpses in the village had obviously been dead for more than a day, and the stench of the corpses under the scorching sun was really unpleasant. Lu Yuan himself had no need to stay here with his apprentice, and he would not do anything to suffer for nothing.

Ten minutes later, Xiao Huo, with a pale face, and Chen Nanxuan, Xiao Huang and their dog came out of the village.

The three of them spent a long time studying the corpse in the village and indeed found quite a few clues.

Xiao Huo spoke first: "Master, I counted all the bodies in this village and found that almost all the dead were elderly people over 50 years old. The young men, young women and children in the village are not here."

The average lifespan of mortals in the secular world is around sixty or seventy years old. In the fantasy secular world with no technological productivity and backward medical standards, a mortal's lifespan of over fifty or sixty years is considered longevity.

Therefore, anyone over 50 is considered an elderly person.

Xiao Huo discovered that the Demon Heart Cult had slaughtered only the elderly over fifty years old in the village. There were no bodies of young people in the village, and it seemed that they had all been taken away.

Chen Nanxuan also spoke up at this time: "Judging from the scars on the dissected stomachs of those corpses, it doesn't look like the work of the Demon Heart Cult's followers. It looks more like a demon tore open their flesh and ate their intestines."

Chen Nanxuan carefully studied the marks of disembowelment on the corpses in the village. He found that these injuries were not caused by the Demon Heart Cult members themselves, because even if they were demon cultivators, they were still human beings, and their means of killing were nothing more than fists, feet, or swords.

But the corpses in the village had their stomachs ripped open and their internal organs missing. The wounds on their stomachs looked like they had been bitten, and the methods used were brutal. It was impossible for a demon cultivator to be so cruel as to tear his own kind apart with his bare hands. This was very similar to a demon killing people.

Chen Nanxuan has seen a big monster slaughter a village. Many monsters like to eat the internal organs of living people, which is very similar to this.

Listening to what the two guys found out, Lu Yuan nodded: "Well, the analysis is good, but what's the point of you finding this out?"

Lu Yuan didn't know what to say for a moment.

The clues these two guys found are, if not completely useless, completely useless.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

So...you want to say that you two have been investigating for a long time and found out that the people from the Demon Heart Cult killed all the old people in this village and took away all the young people?

And the real murderer who massacred these villagers was actually a big demon raised by the Demon Heart Cult?

Lu Yuan: What a brilliant reasoning. I asked you to find some useful things in the village. Do you think what you found is useful?

Did I ask you two to investigate how these villagers died?

You two think you have solved the case and are looking for the real culprit?

Don’t I know who really killed them?

Lu Yuan: I want you two to see if there are any other clues in the village that can lead to the Devil Heart Cult's actions near Daluo Mountain and the purpose of the massacre, or to see if you can track down the Devil Heart Cult's whereabouts! You two are going to investigate the cause of death of the villagers. Are you bored? ! Neither of you has a brain!

Lu Yuan: Forget it, it’s better to rely on a dog than on these two.

Lu Yuan looked at Xiao Huang.

Xiao Huang looked up and told his discovery.

“Woof woof! Woof woof woof! Woof woof woof woof!”

Lu Yuan: “…”

I almost forgot that Xiao Huang can't speak.

Xiao Huang found that he had been shouting for a long time, but the master didn't understand a word he said.

Then it wrote a few words on the ground with its paws.

"Smell, tracking technique, found, Demon Heart Sect..."

Xiao Huang just sniffed around the village and collected a lot of scents from the Demon Heart followers. It said that based on the scents from the Demon Heart followers in this village, it could use the Thousand Mile Tracking Technique to lock onto the Demon Heart followers' current location.

Although the true purpose of the Demon Heart Cult has not been discovered yet, as long as we find the Demon Heart Cult's current base, wouldn't we know the answer by just capturing a member of the Cult and asking them?

Lu Yuan understood what Xiao Huang meant, and he glanced at Chen Nanxuan and Xiao Huo.

What did I say? Dogs have more brains than you two. Even Xiao Huang knows exactly what to check.

I would like to recommend a new book by a friend to you. It is a Dou Luo fanfiction. If you are interested, you can go and have a look! (End of this chapter)
