Chapter 382 Unexpected Discovery

"The road to Zhongnan Mountain should be the best mountain road to walk, right?"

Zhao Xun couldn't help expressing such emotions when he was patrolling in the mountains.

He has climbed many mountains, and his impression is that different mountains have different difficulties.

Some are towering and tall, while others are low and flat.

But whether it is tall or low and flat, it will always give people a sense of fear.

To put it bluntly, it will make people feel that it is difficult to get up.

But Zhong Nanshan didn't give him this feeling.

The height of Zhongnan Mountain is neither high nor low, the key is that it is not steep.

This point is really too critical.

Because the reason why many mountains seem difficult to climb is because the mountains are indeed steep.

Steep hills can be difficult whether going up or down.

But Zhongnanshan is different.

There are few steep mountain roads in Zhongnan Mountain, and they are basically very gentle.

In this way, it will basically not give people a huge sense of pressure.

Zhao Xun was very relaxed during the mountain tour.

Although the enemy is now present, most of these guys still dare not attack directly with the head of the mountain.

Even if I lend them the heart of a bear and the guts of a leopard, I dare not!

But the daily inspection work still needs to be done.

This is mainly to prevent some omissions.

In the beginning, Zhao Xun followed the Sixth Senior Brother Lu Guangdou to inspect mainly the academy, and followed the academy's context.

As a result, what they want to inspect now is the entire Zhongnan Mountain.

The workload is not insignificant, and the pressure is not insignificant.

But Zhao Xun is still very confident.

After all, Zhongnan Mountain can be regarded as their home field, and it can also be regarded as their territory.

On one's own territory, there is naturally nothing to be afraid of.

"Well, the next thing to do is to check for leaks and fill in gaps as much as possible. It is best if there are no gaps, and if there are gaps, just make up."

Zhao Xun said to himself.

Because the area of ​​Zhongnan Mountain is too large, everyone in the academy split up.

Each person is responsible for a small area, and neither belongs to nor interferes with each other.

Zhao Xun's attitude is to inspect the most areas in the least time.

He is the man who wants to become the efficiency king of the academy, so he must show his full strength in this respect.

"Well, what sound?"

Walking along the mountain path, Zhao Xun suddenly heard a strange noise, and instinctively approached the direction of the sound source.

It was not unusual for him to hear strange noises.

There are wild animals all over Zhongnan Mountain.

It is normal for these ferocious beasts to make noises, so for Zhao Xun, as long as he can confirm that the sound is made by the wild beasts in Zhongnan Mountain, there is nothing to worry about.

There is a lot of bushes in front of it, and only after getting close can we see clearly what happened in it.

"hiss"

When Zhao Xun took a closer look, he was really taken aback.

It turned out that there was a dead body hidden in the bushes!
Seeing that this corpse should have been killed not long ago, because it hasn't rotted yet!
In such weather, a corpse would decompose quickly if exposed to the wild.

Zhongnan Mountain has always been regarded as a peaceful place, and homicides rarely occur.

Zhao Xun instinctively felt that this matter was unusual, so he immediately marked the location, and then went back to discuss with his brothers and sisters.

Of course he could also carry this body back.

But Zhao Xun instinctively rejected it, because he felt that this move was a bit weird.

It's better to go back to the academy and call people, and it's more reliable to call all the brothers and sisters back.

But Zhao Xun rushed all the way back to the academy, already exhausted and out of breath.

The third brother Long Qingquan was drinking tea by himself, seeing the appearance of the junior brother Zhao Xun, he immediately asked with concern: "Hey little brother, what happened to you. People who don't know may think that something happened to you."

"Who says it's not, little junior brother, little junior brother, why are you in such a hurry. The sky will fall and there will be a mountain chief to hold it up, so don't worry."

"I, I water."

Zhao Xun thought to himself that he was going to die of thirst.But all the seniors are still here with their beaks and duck beaks, it's really speechless.

"I'm really dying of thirst, I'm dying of thirst"

"Quick, quickly bring a bowl of water to my junior brother."

Seeing this state, the third senior brother Long Qingquan quickly ordered someone to prepare a bowl of water for Zhao Xun.

Water is not a very delicious drink, but at the moment, in Zhao Xun's view, it is simply life-saving nectar and jade dew.

After pouring a bowl of water, Zhao Xun felt comfortable.

If one bowl is not enough, then another bowl, if two bowls are not enough, then a third bowl.

After three bowls, Zhao Xun was full.

He wiped the corners of his mouth in satisfaction and said in a deep voice: "Just now I found a corpse in a bush during my mountain patrol. Judging from the extent of the corpse, it should have died not long ago. I think this matter is very important. Seeing something strange, I hurried back to the academy, and I hope that all senior brothers and sisters can go with me to find out what happened."

"Junior Brother, what do you mean, there is a dead body near here?"

"Um"

Zhao Xun nodded and said: "To be specific, I think it is very likely that the Corruptors have something to do with it. Although there is no conclusive evidence to prove that they did it. But people who are so serious about killing around here, except I really can't think of anyone else."

"Uh"

Long Qingquan fell into deep thought for a while.

What Junior Brother Zhao Xun said is very reasonable. Since the Corruptor Alliance suffered a setback last time, it should have been a long time since there was a big commotion.

But that's not to say they don't want to make a fuss.

Because for them, time is the most precious thing.

If they could open the academy's prohibition earlier to invade, they would be able to break through the academy's defense system earlier.

If it continues to drag on, not only will their morale collapse, Satan will definitely not accept it.

So there's really no point in dragging it down.

The best way is to make a quick decision.

But they certainly can't attack as soon as they come up.After all, he only suffered a loss not long ago, and testing is undoubtedly the best choice right now.

If you can't break the game after the trial, that's another matter.

But it's still worth a try.

"Junior brother, where is the body, take us to see it quickly."

Lu Guangdou, the sixth senior brother, realized the seriousness of this problem.

For everyone in the academy, the immediate priority is to quickly follow Zhao Xun to find the body and identify it to see how this person was killed.

The killing method of the Corruptor Alliance is still relatively fixed, and the traces are also obvious.

If this person was really killed by them, everyone in the academy should be able to easily identify it from the traces of the corpse.

"Okay, I have marked the vicinity of the corpse before, and I should be able to guide you to find it easily. If you have no objections, please follow me."

Zhao Xun's tracking skills are still quite good, especially on the premise that the marks have been made in advance.

Zhao Xun walked all the way along the mountain road, and the speed was not uncomfortably fast.

Of course, Zhao Xun has always been vigilant.

If something suddenly appeared from the jungle in the mountains at this time, Zhao Xun still has the power to fight.

Anyway, he is also a third-rank cultivator now. Although this level of cultivation is not very high in the academy, it is not a big problem to use it for self-protection.

Zhao Xun is very clear that as a practitioner, having strong executive power is very important.

If he can maintain his state, then it is not impossible to be promoted to the second rank.

What I am afraid of is that I have vented my anger.

If this is the case, then it is really hard to save the gods.

"It's here. Brothers and sisters, come and have a look."

Zhao Xun moved closer and pointed at the corpse.

The third senior brother Long Qingquan rushed over at the head of the horse, which was also in line with his character.

"Hiss, this man died so badly. There are obvious scars on his neck, and it is obvious that the fatal wound he suffered was on his neck."

Long Qingquan nodded earnestly around his neck, indicating that this is the fatal wound he suffered.

"Well, I also found out. He suffered a fatal wound on the neck, which is enough to show that the one who attacked him was either a beast, a corruptor, or a monster. There is no fourth possibility other than this."

Lu Guangdou, the sixth senior brother, rested his chin and gave a very professional evaluation.

"If it is a monster, the possibility is really not very high. Because this generation has not found traces of monsters for a long time. The kingdom of monsters is in the East China Sea, where there are more monsters. As for Chang'an City near Chang'an City It is very difficult to see traces of monsters. Beasts are possible. There are still many beasts in the deep mountains of Zhongnan Mountain. But it seems that the possibility of beasts appearing in this location is not very high. So it seems that the Corruptor invaded and killed people The possibility is very high. This person should be a hunter, and there should be no threat to him. But he should have exposed his identity, so he can only choose to kill him. If he doesn't do this, it is very likely that he will not be able to hide it Live in identity."

The sixth senior brother Lu Guangdou's analysis was very professional, and Zhao Xun nodded frequently after listening to it.

"Well, I also think that the Corruptor is very likely to be the murderer. But how did they get through the protective cover to do something wrong? Does this protective cover really have so many gaps?"

Although Zhao Xun followed the sixth senior brother Lu Guangdou and other senior brothers to investigate, but did not find any clues.

From the current point of view, if the Corruptor can penetrate the protective cover, it can only show that the protective cover has a big loophole.

This is not good news.

After all, the disciples of the academy spent a long time just repairing the loopholes in the protective shield around the academy.

If it is necessary to restore the entire Zhongnan Mountain, it will be impossible in less than ten days and half a month.

This is still a conservative estimate.

If the estimate is more pessimistic, a month's time is not impossible.

But what the academy lacks most now is undoubtedly time.

The lack of time prevented them from carrying out a large-scale carpet-like search and repair regardless of the consequences.

If there is enough time, they will have no problem repairing it.

But time doesn't allow it.

Zhao Xun thought it was too difficult for them.

"Actually, if it is a Corruptor, the intrusion shield can be accessed from the ground."

Soon the sixth senior brother Lu Guangdou gave an analysis that shocked everyone.

"Underground? Brother Six, do you mean that the Corruptor can escape from the earth?"

Zhao Xun was shocked when he heard it, and asked repeatedly.

"Well, it is indeed very possible. If the Corruptor uses the technique of earth escape, then it is indeed very possible to successfully avoid all our restrictions and all the protective shields, and thus easily invade Zhongnan Mountain. "

I'm a good boy, Mamma Mia.

Zhao Xun was shocked.

Why is there such an obvious loophole?

Could it be that the head of the mountain didn't consider this when he created the protective shield?
Although it feels a little unbelievable, but if you think about it carefully, it is indeed possible.

After all, for the head of the mountain, this can be said to be the most impossible thing to happen.

It is very likely that the old man Shan Chang didn't think in this direction at all.so.
So this loophole can be well understood.

"So these should just be spies, if I'm not mistaken."

The sixth senior brother Lu Guangdou further analyzed: "If they just came to inquire about the news, then all this can be explained. They invaded Zhongnan Mountain and bypassed the blockade of heavy restrictions. But when they appeared At that time, I happened to meet a local hunter in Zhongnan Mountain. For the spies of the Corruptor, this is absolutely unacceptable. Once their identities are revealed, they will definitely meet a dead end. So they killed the hunter without hesitation. A hunter, and dragged the corpse into this bush. If you hadn’t discovered it when you were patrolling the mountain, junior brother, I’m afraid this corpse would rot soon and become a dry bone.”

Zhao Xun nodded.

Brother Six's analysis is very reasonable.

"So this spy should have successfully escaped from Mount Zhongnan by now, right?"

"Not bad. But since he has tasted the sweetness, he will definitely come again after the first visit. If we want to sit back and wait, it's not impossible."

"Well, Brother Six means that we set up a trap here, waiting for the Corruptor's spies to take the bait, right?"

"That's right. You mustn't be too careless, but there's nothing wrong with setting up traps. We'll just stay on guard."

"Uh-huh."

After determining the plan and obtaining a consensus, everyone in the academy decided to make traps.

Since you want to capture the Corruptor, you can't rely on ordinary traps.

Although Zhao Xun didn't know the strength of this Corruptor Sentinel, he must not be an idler.

Those who can serve as sentries should all have a certain ability to protect themselves.

In this way, they will be able to respond well when faced with emergencies.

So Zhao Xun suggested that the sixth brother draw a talisman.

Although the Sixth Senior Brother's Talisman Talismanship is not as advanced as Taoist Qinglian, it is considered top-notch among all the disciples in the academy.

As long as a talisman is drawn, it is enough to deter the Corruptor.

Zhao Xun has also learned the art of Talisman for a period of time from Daoist Qinglian, so he can help Lu Guangdou, the sixth senior brother, from the sidelines.

Brothers are united, and their profits break gold.

With the cooperation of the two, it doesn't take too long to draw symbols.
