I was just solving crimes, how could I become an immortal?

Chapter 141 The natural enemies of winged creatures

Nanchu, this is the collective name for an area.

Unlike the Northern Yan Kingdom, the Southern Chu Kingdom had been experiencing constant disputes and separatist regimes due to its dangerous terrain and treacherous factions.

The most united time was ten years ago, when the Wild Wolf Army went south to conquer, and the Southern Chu countries united to fight against each other.

Afterwards, the Changtianmen War broke out. General Ying Changfeng of Wild Wolf removed his armor and released his military power for the sake of his daughter. This gave Southern Chu a chance to breathe. The remaining twelve kingdoms, large and small, were collectively referred to as the Southern Chu Kingdoms.

The Chi Guangguo we met this time was one of them.

It's just that although this country is called a country, its strength is pitifully weak.

Chiguang City, the most prosperous capital of Chiguang Kingdom, was turned upside down by dozens of strange birds at this moment.

The wings of the exotic bird are nearly three feet long, with sharp claws and scaly feathers that are hard to be damaged by swords. It swoops down ferociously to hunt, hitting every target accurately.

And in the city, the only force that can resist at this moment is a very simple three-bow bed crossbow. With this thing, even if my Tisi comes, you can't hit it, let alone the extremely fast exotic bird in the sky.

According to estimates of strength, these exotic birds are probably around seventh grade.

Although the attack method is relatively simple, their advantages are fast speed and stiff feathers. As soon as the sun sets, they come out to hunt the target.

Even if the whole city was lit with torches, it was still difficult to see clearly the dozens of black shadows circling under the night sky.

What's even more troublesome is that these exotic birds have very high IQs. They will judge who is a strong enemy, and then deliberately avoid their opponents and attack the weak ones.

For example, in the square right now, a man covered in bright gold armor and holding a giant ax roared and provoked, hoping that the alien birds would come down and fight him.

Unfortunately, the strange bird didn't pay attention at all, and rushed over his head, its sharp claws directly driving towards a farmer who had no time to avoid.

Just as he was about to succeed, a fiery red figure suddenly jumped out from the side.

The strange bird felt bad and wanted to flap its wings to escape, but it was faster, and the fiery red figure was faster. The flaming fist hit its head in one fell swoop, and it fell to the ground and rolled several feet away.

The strange bird shook its head and struggled to get up and escape, but as soon as she opened her eyes, she saw a woman with a sweet smile.

His slender hands grasped the sharp beak, and then said 'Ha! With a sound, he actually lifted the whole bird up and threw it brutally over the shoulder.

boom!
  At this moment, the strange bird was completely out of breath, and all the bystanders were stunned by this terrifying power.

"Very good, this is the first one." Ying Huorong clapped his hands with satisfaction.

"These are startled crows. They taste pretty good. Catch a few more for extra meals today."

Ying Huorong, who was full of energy, changed from the sluggish state in the quagmire just now. When he saw something to eat, his moves became more fierce.

The armored man on the side slowly put down the ax in his hand and murmured to himself: "Whose general is this, so brave!"

"From the Wild Wolf Army." Cao An's voice came from beside him, startling the armored man.

Especially the words "Desolate Wolf Army" almost stopped him from picking up the ax again.

The team leader, who had saved my life just now, quickly stepped forward to explain: "City Lord, they are the real wild wolf army. They just saved me and they didn't mean any harm."

After hearing the explanation, the armored city lord stopped attacking, looked at Cao An's calm expression, and then looked at Ying Huorong's violent posture.

"Sure enough, I knew that those courageous bandits were the fake Wild Wolf Army. That Ying Changfeng was so strong back then! He wouldn't be so sneaky."

Although they were once enemies, they still spoke highly of Ying Changfeng.

Cao An said calmly from the side: "You are the city lord here, right? Our Wild Wolf Army was disbanded 10 years ago. Now you can call us the Tsing Yi Department. Those you have encountered recently are all liars."

"Yes, this kind of combat power is what the Wild Wolf Army should have."

While speaking, Ying Huorong moved again.

Her eyes at this moment were filled with purple fire, and the bright red color between her eyebrows was looming. It should be that part of the red fox's power was used, but it was not the red fox's consciousness controlling the body.

Well, it must be that the red fox wants to be autistic and greedy again. She is really a twisted fox queen.

Tinder was squatting on the beam at the moment, as obedient as a little fox, but his eyes were darting around, staring at the big bird above his head, licking his lips, and planning the opportunity to hunt.

Suddenly, he saw a startled crow, unable to hold on any longer, swooping down, trying to catch humans for food. He made a prompt decision and Ying Tinder marked it as food.

The body turned into a streak of fire, flashing on the roof at extremely fast speeds.

The Jingyu Crow instinctively sensed the danger, flapped its wings, and turned its sharp claws to the position of the tinder, hoping to launch an attack.

Unfortunately, this is an experienced fox who specializes in hunting those winged enemies.

Opening his right hand and bending his five fingers, the energy of the flames condensed into a two-foot-long shadow behind him, like a giant fire fox's claws, burning with intense energy, he rushed forward.

puff!
  There was a sound of tearing of flesh and blood, and half of the Jingfeather Crow's body was torn to pieces on the spot. Demon blood spurted out in a steady stream, and his screams seemed to want to call for help from his companions.

But facing such a terrifying hunter, how could the rest of the Jingyu Crows dare to approach, they could only hover in the air.

Don't you want to come down? Then I'll go up.

Seeing the big bird in front of him with its wings flapping and struggling to its death, Ying Huorong decided to help it.

The figure leaped across and landed behind the seriously injured Jingfei Crow. Then he kicked hard, and the fire energy poured into the big bird's body, directly helping Jingfei Crow end its final pain.

As for Tinder himself, thanks to this relay, he has grown ten feet taller again. Now, it is the fox who has joined the flock of birds.

"Haha! I'm coming to find you~"

"唳~~"

Bang bang bang!
  In the sky, fire clouds exploded, followed by startling crows falling one after another.

The people below were amazed.

"I've never seen this girl before! Is she Ying Changfeng's new subordinate?"

"Oh, she is Ying Changfeng's daughter, Ying Huorong."

"The monster's daughter is indeed a monster." The armored man gave a comment that was both scolding and flattering.

Thinking about it, he simply took off his visor, revealing the appearance of a bearded man with a rough look.

Are you not going to join the war?

The city lord wiped the sweat from his face and said: "I'm not good at fighting. It's great that you can come to help. Help us drive away these birds. Tell us what reward you want."

Listening to this guy's tone, he sounds very powerful!
  Moreover, they seem to be very familiar with the Wild Wolf Army, and are not as frightened as other Nanchu people. It seems that they have a good background.

But now that Tinder has almost been killed, is it too late to talk about remuneration? Then simply change to a better impression.

Cao An smiled slightly: "There is no need for payment, but the wings of these Jingyu Crows that we just knocked off need to be given to us."

"Oh? You also know that their wing feathers are excellent forging materials? You are really insightful." "No, we just want to roast them and eat them."

……

In Shangjiang City, it can be said that the lights are brightly lit tonight.

In the morning, Uncle Guo confessed, a large amount of evidence began to be collected, the remaining relevant parties were rounded up, the change of power, and the desperate resistance made the city gradually calm down until sunset.

But before the officials returned home, another breaking news came. Ying Huorong and Cao An were plotted, and their whereabouts were unknown at the moment.

For a time, another wave broke out in the court.

That was the chief judge appointed by the emperor, the man who made the greatest contribution to solving the case!

Could it be that the case was solved in the morning and retaliated in the afternoon?
  The prince's party quickly came out to clarify that this was not their fault, it must have been the fifth prince.

The fifth prince is also unjust! Although he secretly hated Cao An for not understanding current affairs, after all, he had overthrown the uncle and weakened the princelings, so there was no need for him to take action!
  No matter what, the great hero who had been praised in the morning was assassinated in the afternoon. The emperor was also furious and ordered Pang Shi to find someone immediately. Tonight was another sleepless night in Shangjiang City.

As for the people in the Tsing Yi Department, they were naturally very anxious.

Before being sent out in the morning, Cao An also said that the place could not be a holy land, he was just going to have a look, and the round trip would not be too long.

Afterwards, when the sun went down, I realized that something was wrong, so I hurried to Jiaofangsi to find someone, only to find that the person was gone.

"Mubai Oiran, along with several flower ladies, are all missing. Jin Wuwei is looking for them."

"Fu Wenhai, who was promoted in the Ministry of Etiquette, is still here, but he is probably an abandoned son and was taken away by the Six Doors. I'm afraid he will have an easier time tonight."

"I don't know what happened to Cao An and the others. With their civil and military capabilities, it shouldn't be a big problem."

Although the person is missing, everyone still has some confidence in the cooperation between Cao An and Ying Huorong.

Zhu Xian sighed: "I'm just worried that Huorong won't be able to eat well. She's used to eating my roasted wings and wandering outside, I'm afraid she won't be able to eat well."

……

"Wow~ It's so fragrant. Your grilled wings are even more delicious than those cooked by my chef!"

In Chiguang City, the people raised bonfires tonight to celebrate this rare victory.

As the biggest contributor to the battle, Ying Huorong, a sweet-looking girl, naturally won the love of the people in the city.

One person tore apart seven Jingfeather Crows with her bare hands. If the remaining ones hadn't run so fast, she might have been able to kill them all by herself. This achievement was something she would never have dared to imagine before.

Hearing that she wanted to eat grilled wings, the people spontaneously came over to help.

The top chefs in the city use exotic spices to bake it, and the "squeak~" aroma from the oil leaves a lingering fragrance on your lips and teeth, and you should swallow it with a satisfying gulp.

As a chef, you are naturally happy when your delicious food is praised by guests.

Unfortunately, the chef could only force a smile on his face at this moment, and the helper beside him secretly wiped away his tears.

Ying Huorong was so powerful that he naturally noticed the strangeness of the chefs and asked kindly: "What's wrong with you? Is the house damaged? Are you feeling sad?"

During the fight, damage was inevitable. Many houses were crushed by Big Bird's body, and repairs were already underway.

But one of the chefs shook his head sadly: "It's not the house's problem, it's the twin children from my relative's house who were taken away by those bird monsters just now. I feel a little sad."

"Impossible." Ying Huorong raised his head from the grilled wings and said decisively: "Those strange birds just didn't catch anyone, I can see clearly."

Ying Huorong's eyes were like two flames at night, and she could clearly see even the startling crows flying high in the sky.

No children were taken away at all.

"It's true, that bird monster likes to eat twins. I didn't expect that I would lose two more children..."

"Again? That's even more impossible. Cao An, come here. They say the child is lost. Can you help look for it?"

Leave it to her to fight and leave it to Cao An to think about problems. The two have formed a tacit understanding.

Cao An originally wanted to ask the city lord about the way back to Shangjiang City, but when he heard the shouting, he came over.

"What's wrong? What happened?"

"They said that the child was lost, more than once. But the Jingyu Crow will not go out of its way to catch the child. This is not right."

Although Ying Huorong cannot solve crimes, her research on birds is top-notch in both the human and demon worlds.

Scared Crows are smart, but not picky eaters.

To deal with ordinary people, if it is to catch a child or an adult with one claw, it will definitely choose the adult because there is more meat.

Now they are directly targeting the twins, which is even more wrong.

"Twins? There might be something wrong with that. Take me to the scene to have a look." Cao An remembered that Qiansi Lao Dao once said that there might be some connection with someone catching children here in Nanchu.

The city lord was still busy with the rescue after the disaster. When he heard that there was hope that the two missing children could be found, he quickly led them the way.

Ying Huorong also left behind his favorite roasted wings and followed Cao An.

……

The startled crow is huge, has hard feathers, and is extremely destructive. Many houses have been damaged at this moment.

The worst thing is for this family. The husband was killed in the last attack, leaving a pair of children dependent on their mother.

Unexpectedly, she lost her child in this attack. The woman was sitting on the ground crying bitterly. The neighbors looked on and could only lament in silence.

Fortunately, Cao An and the others came today. The city lord was wearing a suit of bloated armor and ran over on short legs.

"Quick, get out of the way. Shui Xiu from the Tsing Yi Department is here to help with the investigation. Your child may still be found."

After hearing the words of the city lord, everyone quickly got out of the way, although they didn't understand what the water embroidery in Qingyi Department meant... Well, in fact, the city lord himself didn't understand either...

But at least Cao An reported his family status this way, so he should be very powerful.

Cao An naturally lived up to expectations. One second he looked at the crying woman, and the next second a notification sound sounded in his ears.

"The mystery is discovered, the detective system is activated!"

"Trigger case: missing child."

"Case description: A child is lost in Chiguang City. If you find the real culprit and recover the child, you will receive a detective reward."

"It's indeed man-made."

Cao An listened to the prompt and made a quick decision: "Seal the city gate and don't let anyone in or out. The child was lost not long ago, so there should be a chance to find it back."
