Chapter 53 Tongfu Inn
In front of Tongfu Inn.
As soon as Lin Dong and Mu Qing'er appeared, they were stopped.
"Two, you can't get in here for the time being." The person who spoke was a big man with a slut on his face. This big man looked like a monk, but his cultivation was not very high, and he looked like he was in the early stage of gathering spirits. The big man used a very wide sword. This kind of sword could almost be called a sword. The sword looked very heavy, which shows that the big man's arms were very strong.
"Why don't you let in?" Lin Dong asked.
"This..." The man didn't know how to answer. Of course, the man could see that Lin Dong and Mu Qing'er were both monks, and their cultivation was much higher than him, especially Mu Qing'er, which directly gave the man an indescribable sense of oppression.
At this time, an old man saw the situation here, coughed a few times from afar, and then said to the big man: "Dahu, go to the back door to watch first, leave it to me first."
The man named Dahu suddenly felt no pressure, and without delaying for a moment, he ran towards the back door.
Soon, the old man came to Lin Dong and Mu Qing'er.
"Did you two come for the matter of Tongfu Inn?" the old man asked.
Lin Dong and Mu Qing'er nodded.
"Okay, please follow me, two." The old man did not ask anything, but signaled Lin Dong and Mu Qing'er to follow.
Lin Dong and Mu Qing'er looked at each other, and then Lin Dong walked in the middle, while Mu Qing'er was cautiously watching the situation around.
In fact, when Lin Dong and Mu Qing'er approached Tongfu Inn, Mu Qing'er noticed a very strong demonic aura, which was only a high-level monster and a monster that had transformed into shape.
Lin Dong's cultivation level is still just the Spirit Gathering Realm. Although there are signs of breakthrough, it is still just the Spirit Gathering Realm before the formal breakthrough.
The cultivators in the Spirit Gathering Realm could not detect the existence of demonic energy. Even though Mu Qing'er told Lin Dong about this, Lin Dong still had no real experience.
"Be careful, I always feel that the monster may still be still in Tongfu Inn." Mu Qing'er reminded carefully.
Lin Dong nodded: "Don't worry, I know what to do, but you, your cultivation is too high and it's very eye-catching."
"I'm fine. It's because of my high cultivation level that the monster dares not attack me easily." Mu Qing'er said.
"Anyway, we are both more careful." Lin Dong smiled slightly.
Mu Qing'er also smiled slightly, and then the two no longer had any communication.
Under the leadership of the old man, Lin Dong and Mu Qing'er soon entered Tongfu Inn. The facilities inside Tongfu Inn were destroyed beyond recognition, and there were blood everywhere. These alone could remind you of how cruel the scene was at that time.
"We are basically sure that the demon fox was the one who committed the murder this time, but there is no way to determine which kind of demon fox it was." The old man said.
Mu Qing'er nodded. Indeed, based on these traces on the scene, it was impossible to infer what kind of fox was doing.
There are many kinds of demon foxes. In the Star Continent, especially in the Nine Mountains, there are more than 30 demon foxes in the Ninth Mountains. Among them, there are three more powerful demon foxes, namely the Red Fox, the White Fox, and the Three-tailed Fox. These three kinds of demon foxes are the most brutal, the three-tailed fox. An adult three-tailed fox is comparable to a cultivator in the late stage of gathering spirits. It is extremely difficult to hunt three-tailed foxes. At least five cultivators in the late stage of gathering spirits can be successfully hunted.
But these three kinds of demon foxes in the Jiuchong Mountains live at the intersection of the Jiuchong Mountains and the Yachong Mountains. There is no reason to appear in the outer area of the Jiuchong Mountains and sneak into the town, causing people to suffer lives.
The demon fox in the Eighth Mountain Range is much stronger. The lowest-grade monster fox, that is, the black fox, has the strength of the three-tailed fox. In the Eighth Mountain Range, there are more than a hundred species of demon foxes, the most powerful of which is the nine-tailed demon fox. However, the nine-tailed demon fox generally does not take the initiative to harm humans, especially in the current situation, it is almost impossible to sneak into the human world and cause such a major casualty event.
However, the nine-tailed demon fox can transform into shape. As humans know, among all the monsters in the Eighth Mountains and the Ninth Mountains, the only monsters that can transform into shape are the nine-tailed demon foxes.
Therefore, the nine-tailed demon fox is still the most suspicious.
This made Mu Qing'er feel very confused. The nine-tailed demon fox clan who is the least likely to take the initiative to hurt humans and is extremely vigilant against humans is actually the most suspicious one.
"You have also thought of the Nine-tailed Demon Fox. We have confirmed this. Recently, no Nine-tailed Demon Fox has left the Eighth Mountain Range, including the Nine-Level Mountain Range. There has been no Nine-tailed Demon Fox clan in the past six months." The old man said.
"According to the results you found, the suspicion of the Nine-tailed Demon Fox clan has been completely eliminated. Is that true?" Lin Dong asked.
"That's right, that's it." The old man sighed and replied.
"It shouldn't be. Since it is certain that all this was done by the demon fox clan, then only the transformed nine-tailed clan is the most likely one to enter this town. If it were other demon foxes, it would be impossible or left the Jiule Mountains." Mu Qing'er expressed her doubts.
There is an unwritten rule in the town that, whenever a hunting team wants to enter the town, it is not allowed to carry monsters alive, even the most ordinary monsters. The residents of the town are ordinary people, and the safety of the residents of the town must be guaranteed. No safety hazards are allowed.
It is precisely because of this that Mu Qing'er has this question.
"But this is the result of our investigation, so this case became a unsolved case." The old man sighed again.
"Then how do you plan to deal with the matter of Tongfu Inn?" Mu Qing'er asked.
The old man looked up at Mu Qing'er and felt the oppression of his cultivation from Mu Qing'er. The old man dared not hide it at all: "If you can't find the real murderer, there is no way to solve it. Tongfu Inn will be demolished and rebuilt."
"So what you mean is that all the people at Tongfu Inn have died in vain, right?" Lin Dong felt very incredible.
"This is also a way to deal with it..." The old man sighed helplessly.
The old man is the mayor of this town. The old man told Mu Qing'er and Lin Dong that the town would be blocked early tomorrow morning and that only leaving and not entering at that time. The old man also begged Mu Qing'er and Lin Dong to stay for help. For this reason, the old man also expressed his concerns.
"I think the demon fox that committed the murder must be still in the town, but we are all ordinary people, and staying to deal with monsters is extremely dangerous. We have invited more than a dozen monks to help, but these dozen monks have not had high cultivation, and the highest one is only the middle stage of spiritual gathering. If the demon fox really appears, it will probably be difficult to kill him." The old man seemed helpless.
