Chapter 14 Sea Tiger King

The next morning, Liu Xia opened her eyes slightly.

The colorful halo around the body gradually disappeared, and Liu Xia exhaled everything in her body.

After practicing all night, I feel refreshed.

After stepping on the master, he experienced a fierce battle and let Liu Xia cultivate and move forward.

The powerful spiritual power in the body has been exerted to 50% at this moment.

It has raised Liu Xia's combat effectiveness to another level.

When I opened the door, I saw that Jiangling was busy in the palace.

This palace is a royal garden. It was built again in the early years. Every time the emperor went south, he would live here for a few days.

As a north-south transportation hub, Jiangzhou has been a must-have place for soldiers since ancient times.

And the sailor battalion of the imperial court is only 30 miles away from here.

Today, Liu Xia's goal is to find the Sea Tiger King.

Last night, Jiangzhou officials were warmly entertained. It is estimated that Dabao and others are still asleep at this moment.

Liu Xia changed into a casual dress and took Zhang Zong out of the palace gate.

Jiangling City is very prosperous.

On the street, the door is like a city, and the flow of pedestrians is endless.

The people here also live a very comfortable life. Although there has been smoke everywhere in southern Xinjiang, there is no sign of war here.

"Your Highness, Jiangling has a population of more than 800,000, but the exact location of the European Sea Tiger King?"

Zhang Zong asked in a low voice.

"After the Sea Tiger King was surrendered, he lived in seclusion outside Jiangling City. I received a message from a spy from the Metropolitan Inspectorate, saying that he was living in seclusion in Hongmengou outside the city. You will know when you go there."

After saying that, the two went out of the city gate and went straight to Hongmengou.

Hongmengou is located 15 miles outside Jiangling City, which is an inconspicuous small village.

When he arrived outside the ditch, Liu Xia saw dozens of families on the hillside.

It looks very hard, and the size of the village is not very large.

At this time, the rising sun rose in the east. As soon as Liu Xia stood on the periphery, she couldn't help frowning.

At this hour, the people in the village should have got up and started a busy day.

Although it is the middle of winter in the north, the Jiangling area has a warm climate, and the bankers here can grow about three seasons.

However, in the village in front of me, the door of every family is closed, and there is not even cooking smoke. I feel dead and there is no trace of vitality.

"Your Highness, be careful."

As a spiritual master, Zhang Zong also noticed the strange atmosphere here, so he whispered.

"Go in and have a look."

Liu Xia made a gesture, and the two of them went towards the village.

After a few steps, just outside the door of the first family, Zhang Zong sniffed his nose vigorously, scratched the ground twice with his feet, and pointed to it and said, "Blood stains."

Liu Xia lowered her head. Sure enough, there were pieces of blood on the ground, but it was covered by floating earth, covering people's eyes and ears.

At this moment, Zhang Zong pushed the door of the first family with a little effort.

Two people entered the gate, and the yard was empty, and there was no one.

In the animal circle raised on one side, a local spirit beast fell there. Zhang Zong touched it and turned around and said, "It's stiff. It shouldn't be a day since I died."

At this moment, Zhang Zong opened the door of the room. The room was empty and there was no one.

Then, the two looked at several more families, and the situation was the same.

There is no living person in this village, to be precise.

The empty one is a ghost village.

"Someone came before us."

Liu Xia frowned and said.

"Will there be an accident with the Sea Tiger King?"

Zhang Zong asked.

"Keep looking for it. The enemy is coming for the Sea Tiger King. There must be some clues."

At present, the two of them acted separately and searched door to door.

At this time, Liu Xia entered the ancestral temple in the village.

When the gate of the ancestral temple was opened, Liu Xia realized that the village was a descendant of the Sea Tiger King.

Among them should be his subordinates and his family.

"Your Highness, I found something."

At this time, Zhang Zong fell into the yard of the ancestral hall and shouted in a hurry.

"Go!"

Immediately, the two of them spread their Xuantian wings and headed north.

Less than 500 meters away from the village, there is a large pond.

A lot of lotus root is planted here, and it is also a place for villagers to raise fish every day.

As soon as Zhang Zong stretched out his hand, a spiritual force suddenly pierced into the water. The water in the pond squeezed out in an instant, and immediately the surface of the pond dropped more than one meter. At this time, Liu Xia saw a dense piece of corpses lying at the bottom of the pond.

These bodies were wrapped in fishing nets, covered with stones, and the bodies sank at the bottom of the pond.

The smell of rotten smell spreads outward at the moment the body is exposed, which is disgusting.

Most of those corpses are highly rotten, but you can still see the black runes pasted behind them, which is magic poison at a glance.

"What should I do now?"

Zhang Zong asked.

"The sea tiger king lives in seclusion here. Since the emperor knows, the demon clan must also know. It seems that they are one step ahead of us. Nine times out of ten, the sea tiger king was either killed by them or fell into their hands. Go back and inform our people."

Liu Xia frowned and said.

"No."

Immediately, Zhang Zong spread his Xuantian wings and went to Jiangling City.

Liu Xia stood on the side of the pond, waiting for the arrival of the brigade.

In less than half an hour, Dabao and others hurried with Liu Xia's guard.

"Immediate to salvage the body and make sure whether the Sea Tiger King is in it."

Liu Xia ordered.

Suddenly, everyone began to collect the bodies in the pond, less than half a column of incense. The bodies were lined up and placed on the side of the pond.

There are more than 40 corpses in the pond. From the elderly to children, none of them have been let go.

Most of the people were poisoned to death. Several people, the bodies were incomplete, and the traces seemed to have been bitten by a fierce beast.

It's just that these bodies are completely unrecognizable at this moment, several times swollen, and their appearance is unrecognizable.

"Your Highness, we found a child in the distance."

At this time, Duan Lingxiao hurried over and said.

"Let's go and have a look."

Immediately, Liu Xia followed Duan Lingxiao.

After a while, they entered a bamboo forest. In the cellar on the side of the bamboo forest, several soldiers carried out a child who had fainted from there, looking like a child who was twelve or three years old.

One of his arms was bitten into two by something. Fortunately, someone simply bandaged it and was covered with blood.

Liu Xia hurriedly checked his injury and immediately sacrificed the world to heal the child.

After a moment, the child opened his eyes quietly and saw the people around him. He couldn't help trembling with fear.

"Little brother, don't be afraid. We are from the government."

Zhang Zong said with a pleasant smile.

"Save my grandpa."

When the child saw that they were all wearing armor, he relaxed and cried out with a wow.

Zhang Zong and others hurriedly comforted him, and then gave him a soothing elixir. It took a long time for the child's mood to stabilize.

"What the hell is going on here?"

Liu Xia asked curiously.

"Just a few days ago, a group of monsters suddenly broke into the village in the middle of the night. Kill people when you see them. Many people in the village are poisoned. Grandpa hugged me and hid in the cellar. My father and mother were killed by monsters. In order to save me, Grandpa led the monster away. Then I didn't know where I went. I kept waiting in the cellar, and then I didn't know anything.

The child cried and said.

"Who is your grandfather?"

"He, he is the patriarch of the village. Everyone will listen to him if anything happens.

The child explained.

Liu Xia and Zhang Zong suddenly looked at each other. I don't think the child's grandfather is the sea tiger king living in seclusion here.

"Go around and don't let go of any clues."

Liu Xia said.

Immediately, everyone rushed into the bamboo forest and began to search on the carpet.

After a while, Liu Liansheng hurried back and said, "Your Majesty, I found it."

Liu Xia and others followed Liu Liansheng to the depths of the bamboo forest and saw a broken arm on the ground that they didn't know what it was.

Liu Xia picked up the broken arm. The whole broken arm was extremely dark, but very hard, just like the armor outside the insect.

"This is..."

Zhang Zong frowned and asked.

"It's a demon puppet."

Liu Xia threw her broken arm to the ground and said.

"Demon puppet?"

The people around were at a loss.

"I have read the magic book in Yunzong. The demons are sparsely populated, and even in their heyday, there are no more than one million. They have extremely low fertility and grow very slowly. During the Honghuang period, in order to fight against us and the demon clan, they used demon puppets. This kind of puppet has no thinking, it is a killing machine. It is refined from human corpses. When the demon clan was the most powerful, the puppet army was their main force. With the invincible bloodthirsty worm, it once called the Dragon Soul Continent. After the death of the demon clan, this kind of puppet disappeared. Nowadays, bloodthirsty insects and demon puppets have appeared one after another, which shows that the demon clan is really going to recover.

Liu Xia said with a wry smile.

Everyone suddenly realized at this moment.

Even if you have never seen the demon army, think about what kind of scene it is like in the sky. You can imagine what kind of scene it is.

Wherever it has passed, there is no grass, making this dragon soul continent become a purgatory on earth.

Immediately, everyone shuddered.

At this time, Zhang Zong took the child in front of Liu Xia and said, "Just now, the child said that the monsters had been forcing him to ask about the whereabouts of his grandfather's treasure after seeing his grandfather. He hid in the cellar and heard something.

"What?"

Everyone was stunned.

"Say what's going on?"

Liu Xia asked.

"I, I don't remember very well. At that time, my grandfather hid me in the cellar and went out. I heard in the cellar that a man asked my grandfather that his treasures were hidden there. Then they fought.

The child said.

"Treasure?"

Liu Xia suddenly realized.

The sea tiger king has crossed the South China Sea for decades and must have accumulated rich treasures. Now that the demons are trying to make a comeback, they naturally need a lot of expenses.

I'm afraid this is the real purpose of their search for the Sea Tiger King.

"Did you hear anything else?"

Liu Xia hurriedly asked.

The child shook his head blankly. Suddenly, the child said, "My grandfather gave me this before he went out."

At this moment, the child took out a small black box, only the size of a finger.

Liu Xia took the box and took a look. Although the box was very small, it was a very delicate treasure box at first glance.

He handed the box to Zhang Zong, and Zhang Zong began to open the mechanism. A moment later, the box opened with a click, and there was only a human skin map in it.

Liu Xia took a look at the map and hurriedly said, "Notify us and go to the southeast Feitianling immediately."
