One hour later.

Zhou Dayuan and his second disciple Zhou Xingwu and third disciple Zhou Jian stood together, and the three of them looked at the ground. On the ground, there were three bloody skunks lying. These three skunks had one common feature, that is, they were tied with a piece of clothing on their bodies.

Zhou Dayuan said with a gloomy face: "Zhou Jian, what's going on?"

Zhou Jian is a short man in his thirties, and he is best at tracing. He heard his master ask, and he smiled bitterly: "The murderer who killed the fourth junior brother is a very careful and cunning person who is very good at tracing. In order to prevent us from following, he first caught three skunks, and then applied the blood of the skunks to himself to cover up his own scent. Next, he tied his clothes to these three skunks and led us away."

Speaking of this, Zhou Jian said angrily: "We have been detained this time. I didn't expect the enemy to be so cruel and cunning."

Zhou Dayuan groaned for a moment and cursed angrily: "Food bucket!"

Zhou Xingwu and Zhou Jian both lowered their heads and did not dare to speak. Since the master learned that his only son had died, he had become extremely irritable and wanted to capture the murderer and cut him into pieces immediately. Now the murderer has not been found, and his mood is even worse. If he dares to speak at this time, he is afraid that Zhou Dayuan will kill them with one palm.

"Bang bang bang bang bang bang!" Zhou Dayuan blew out dozens of palms around him. The powerful palm force hit the trees within a radius of more than ten feet and broke the waist, and dust flew for a moment.

After venting, Zhou Dayuan said with a cold look: "Zhou Jian, in which direction do you think the murderer may be heading?"

Zhou Jian was shivering by the master's cold eyes and said quickly: "The intersections to Sanhe Town are guarded by our people, and the other two directions are not convenient to hide. So the disciples think that the most likely direction for this murderer is to go to is the direction of the Beast Mountains. Of course, there is another possibility, that is, the murderer doesn't go there, and just hides in this forest..."

"Hidden in the forest, don't you go there?" Zhou Dayuan frowned. He felt that this possibility was the greatest. If it was really hidden in the forest, it would be difficult to find it. You know, although this forest is only a few dozen miles in a radius, the number of people Zhou Dayuan brought out was only more than one hundred people, and only one hundred people. If you want to find someone in a forest with a radius of dozens of miles, it would be like finding a needle in a haystack...

After pondering for a while, Zhou Dayuan said coldly: "Let's do it. Xingwu, you lead a few teams to search for the outer edge of the Barbarian Beast Mountains. Zhou Jian, you follow me, I will personally use the technique of seeing the sky and hearing the earth and search for people in the forest!"

When Zhou Dayuan mentioned the "Take of Heaven and Earth to see the technique of hearing", Zhou Xingwu and Zhou Jian both showed shock on their faces. This Tire of Heaven and Earth to see the secret technique belongs to the Zhou family in Qingsang City. After being used, they can easily sense the sounds and movements of wind within ten miles. Even a small gopher cannot escape the tracking of this secret technique.

Although this technique of seeing the sky and hearing is extremely powerful, it is very difficult to use, and requires masters of the ninth level of martial arts to be able to use it. Zhou Dayuan's strength is only in the early stage of the eighth level of martial arts. If he wants to force this secret technique, he can only burn his own essence and blood and force his own potential. In this way, it will inevitably lead to a great loss of essence, greatly affecting his own cultivation, and thus affecting his status in the family.

Although Zhou Xingwu and Zhou Jian wanted to persuade their master to give up using their secret techniques, they knew that their master was in a very bad mood and neither of them had the courage to persuade them.

...

The woods are full of trees, the wild grass grows taller than people, and the vines are like big snakes, tangling around. In this dense environment of grass and trees, even the sunlight at noon cannot penetrate. Zhang Ye held a half-broken thick-backed knife in his hand, walking among the dead branches and leaves, and you can see one or two big snakes crawling lazily from time to time. Although these snakes are not poisonous snakes, their thick and colorful bodies make Zhang Ye feel creepy at first glance.

In addition to the big snake, what made Zhang Ye even more nervous were the poisonous insects and poisonous spiders hiding among the leaves and clovers. These little things are not big in appearance, but they are extremely poisonous. If you accidentally get bitten, you will die immediately.

After walking carefully for more than ten miles, Zhang Ye came to a relatively open place. When he was relieved, Zhang Ye suddenly heard a "squeaking" scream from the left.

Zhang Ye's heart was terrified and hurriedly hid behind a big tree. Looking closely, he saw a black wave suddenly surged from the trees on the left. The black wave was getting closer and closer, and Zhang Ye finally saw clearly that this black wave was actually composed of thousands of black-haired sharp-mouthed rats!

The black-haired pointed rat is a type of rat unique to the outer periphery of the wild beast mountain range. It likes to live in groups and is very agile in movement. They have a pair of horny pointed mouths, which are hard and sharp. Even if a stone can bite a piece, some huge beasts will only be able to escape when they encounter such dense group of rats.

"It's his sister! I encountered these things as soon as I entered here. My luck was a little bad!" Zhang Ye complained secretly. Before he was discovered by the rat group, he climbed up to a big tree beside him like a monkey.

"Squeak--" The black-haired sharp-mouthed rat quickly discovered Zhangye on the tree, and a group of black-haired sharp-mouthed rats immediately climbed up along the tree pole. These small black-haired sharp-mouthed rats had excellent ability to climb trees, and their bodies were moving forward rapidly on the smooth tree pole, like black shadows.

"Go to die!" Zhang Ye cursed inwardly, holding the thick-backed knife tightly in his hand, a faint sword light swung out, and a jumping black-haired sharp-mouthed rat was immediately dismembered by him.

Although the black-haired sharp-mouthed rat belongs to the rat, it likes blood food the most. When smelling the bloody smell of its companions, the black-haired sharp-mouthed rat becomes even more crazy and flutters with the "swoosh" sound of wind.

"Swish, swish, swish, swish, swish—" Zhang Ye made a knife repeatedly. With each knife, a black-haired sharp-mouthed rat was chopped in half. In a few breaths, he had issued more than forty swords and killed dozens of black-haired sharp-mouthed rats. The corpse of the black-haired sharp-mouthed rat was piled up around him, and the smell of blood and the unique smell of the black-haired sharp-mouthed rat filled the woods.

Although they were killed one after another, the black-haired sharp-mouthed rat was even more excited. When Zhang Ye slashed dozens of times, he heard the "rustling" sound from afar. Obviously, a large number of black-haired sharp-mouthed rats were coming quickly.

"His sister, listen to this sound, there are probably tens of thousands of black-haired sharp-mouthed rats coming quickly! Although this black-haired sharp-mouthed rat is relatively weak, being besieged by so many black-haired sharp-mouthed rats is definitely a dead end!" Thinking of this, Zhang Ye quickly changed his strategy, and the knife in his hand was still slashed out one by one, but his feet moved quickly and jumped to another big tree with a "huh".

"Swoosh swish swish swish--" Zhang Ye jumped out of more than a dozen big trees in succession, then grabbed a long hanging vine and swam from the air to another big tree dozens of meters away. Finally, he temporarily got rid of the siege of these black-haired sharp-mouthed rats.

Looking at the dense black-haired sharp-mouthed rats on the trees behind him, Zhang Ye couldn't help but feel scared and sweated. He quickly took out his desperate spirit and jumped towards the tree in the distance.

Zhang Ye jumped out of several miles in one breath, and was about to breathe a sigh of relief, suddenly a creepy feeling rose from the bottom of his heart. He felt that his whole body was seen by an invisible and qualitative enemy!
