Hu Lingshang returned to her original form, a huge nine-tailed white fox. I sat on her back and flew in the air. Her feet could soar into the sky as if there was wind under her feet. I had felt this once before when I rushed to Wudu Mountain to save Yunwen. But I was puzzled at that time, how did she do it? So now I asked: "Lingshang, I was puzzled last time. The earth's core has gravity. How did you ignore it and fly freely?"

She smiled, her voice as sweet as a silver bell, and said, "This is the unique feature of the Yinxi Pot."

"Yinshi Pot? Isn't it used for refining corpses? What does it have to do with flying in the clouds?" I asked.

"In addition to refining corpses, it has other uses. After being found by the fox clan, its main function is to absorb the essence of heaven and earth, condense it into crystals, and swallow it to maintain health and help with spiritual practice. The reason why it can fly with me is also due to this principle. It can transform yin and yang. Yin is below and yang rises. If it can transform yin into yang, if it absorbs the nearby yin energy and transforms it into rising yang energy to support it, then it can fly into the air, right?" Hu Lingshang said.

It turns out that the Yinxi Pot can be used in this way. The principle seems to be very similar to that of a hot air balloon. I didn't expect it could be used in this way.

After running in the air for a long time, they soon passed through the dangerous jungle, and then passed through the dense forest of monkeys. From this bird's-eye view, they could now see clearly that the monkeys were hiding in the trees, and there were quite a few of them. If they walked from below, they might encounter an ambush. Then they passed the Jade Emperor Temple and Taiqiong Cave and entered the canyon. After running for a while in the canyon, they finally arrived at the outskirts of Xiying City.

At this point, the nine-tailed white fox descended and landed on the ancient city wall of Xiying City. Then a cloud of mist rose up, and it became the ethereal beauty again. It said, "It appeared nearby yesterday. I felt its presence."

It was the first time for me to get from the post station to Xiying City in less than half an hour. It was my first time to experience this. It was too fast. I needed a moment to adapt. It also made me feel a bit like using some kind of plug-in in the game. This feeling is self-evident.

I slowed down, then nodded, and searched around the city tower. I felt a strand of hair on the wall, picked it up and smelled it. It had a strong smell of mutton. Next to the hair, there was a bloody scratch on the wall. The blood was also very fresh, undoubtedly left yesterday. I smelled it and it still had a bit of mutton smell. Then I continued forward in the direction of the blood and saw a large pool of blood on the ground, but when I went further, it suddenly disappeared.

Having roughly guessed it, Hu Lingshang walked towards me, gently covered her nose, and said, "This smell seems to be goat blood, and the hair also looks like goat hair."

"Where do herds of goats usually appear? Have they ever appeared near Xiying City?" I asked.

"The goats live far away from here. They can only be found in the mountains on the left side of the canyon, more than ten miles away. I spent a lot of time looking for them before, and I also took the children there to get milk for a long time, so I am quite familiar with it." Hu Lingshang said.

Since the road is more than ten miles long, a goat would not be able to run so far away, let alone come here with so much blood. Moreover, the wound must be very large, otherwise it would not have left such a pool of blood on the ground. It can be seen that something brought it here. From the location of the bloodstains and scratches and the lack of any continuation behind the pool of blood, it can be judged that the goat must have been dragged here. Therefore, the bloodstains are not connected, but scattered in the east and the west.

This is because these were accidentally dropped to the ground during the flight and then flew up again, which would cause the bloodstains to be disconnected and the blood to not continue after forming a pool. The same is true if an animal is injured and the bloodstains are continuous all the way to the ground. This shows that it has indeed been here and brought a goat with it.

However, from the two bloodstains and the lost wool on the goat, it can be seen that it was still struggling when it was caught. Otherwise, how could the curser land three times in a row in a place not far apart? This must be because the goat is still alive, and the three places are not far apart, which means that it is moving very fast. It must not be an old, weak or sick goat, but an adult and strong goat. To be able to easily capture such a goat, it must be very capable.

Since it has great abilities, it would be a piece of cake to kill the goat, but it didn't kill it, but brought it here. What's its purpose? Moreover, Hu Lingshang was still living near Xiying City yesterday, and only moved to the direction of our post station at night. Why is it so blatant?

My suspicion was aroused, so I went down the city wall and went to the West Camp to have a look. I saw that it was desolate and silent inside, with only the sound of the flowing spiritual river. I could sense some life, and those buildings, until I passed the bridge and arrived near the stone sculpture square. Then I continued forward and came to the sacrificial area, which was where we fought the Antelope Witch. There should have been a lot of wooden human remains here, which were the bodies grafted onto themselves by the people of the Dragon Camp in the past.

But now this place is empty, there is nothing here. When asked about Hu Lingshang, she said that everything had been dragged out of the city.

As we were walking, we suddenly heard a strange sound of water flow, and there were a few gurgling sounds. I turned around and saw something seemed to be coming out of the water. Hu Lingshang also stopped and looked in that direction, only to see three or four hyena corpses floating up from the water, and finally the antelope corpse. However, its eyes were red when it died, and its expression was not something a goat could have. If I had to say what it resembled, I think it looked very much like the expression of the antelope witch before it struggled to death, exactly the same.

"How could there be hyena people? It actually attacked hyena people?" I couldn't help but exclaim.

I thought I was surprised enough, but I didn't expect that Hu Lingshang, a nine-tailed white fox with thousands of years of experience, would open her mouth wider than mine, and the fear revealed in her eyes was even greater than mine, which made me feel cold down my spine. After all, I wouldn't be surprised if an ordinary girl was so surprised, but she, who had already seen life and death, was so frightened that it made me feel uneasy.

"What's wrong with you?" I asked.

"The sirens are on the rise, and evil spirits are in power. I'm afraid there will be a bloody storm on this sea." Hu Lingshang couldn't help swallowing his saliva as he spoke, and his fear was evident.

"Starting to gain momentum? Wasn't it just released not long ago? How come it is starting to gain momentum?" I asked.

Hu Lingshang's face, which should have been calm, turned pale with fear. She looked at me blankly, then hugged me tightly, squeezing me with her body. Maybe she had never been a human before, so she didn't know how to measure it right. She hugged me so tightly that her whole soft body was close to me. I could feel her softness and warmth, and even hear her rapid heartbeat.

Her almond-shaped lips parted slightly, and her breath was fragrant. All these behaviors made me blush and feel her chest rising and falling. At the same time, I could feel that she wanted to speak several times, but she held back. Finally, she mustered up the courage to say, "Zhou Lang, it's hard to explain at once, but if I say one thing, you may understand the terribleness of this."

I patted her back gently to comfort her, and couldn't help but touch a lot of sweat soaked in her. I had never thought that she was so scared, but at the moment I was thinking about other things and couldn't understand her fear, so I said, "The hyena man is also quite capable. Being killed like this does show that he is a bit scary, but not so scary. Relax."

She shook her head, let me go, stared into my eyes, and said seriously: "No, it would be great if it were that simple. Let's put it this way, killing the hyena man is only part of its plan. The origin of its cursed name comes from its blood. Its blood is cursed and can accept the blood of any living creature for its own use and use it for its own preparation. So, Zhou Lang, do you understand?"

My head suddenly buzzed!

Just like a bat can hold countless viruses in its body, this person's blood can hold the blood of all living things. Blood is usually an important transportation hub in the life system. In other words, it represents the key to a certain system of body operation.

The so-called bloodline, blood is the extension of a certain gene. What will happen if it has the genes of some special people?

Only then did I understand why the goat was brought here alive, and why these hyena people drowned in the Ling River...
