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

Chapter 33 Nanshan Massacre, hundreds of people died

Students in the martial arts academy are all carefully selected to enter the school. After being taught by famous teachers, even if they have little actual combat experience, they are still unique talents.

Cao An's ability to mobilize them is indeed a great help.

But don't forget, including Wei Juan, six people have died.

Cao An definitely didn't believe that there were no evil people in this academy. If he suddenly led a search team, the other party would definitely receive the news, and only a fool would wait there.

So from the beginning, Cao An formulated a plan to alert the enemy.

The students from the martial arts academy were just a cover, the real main force was Jin Qi who came to recruit more people and the personal guards borrowed from the dean.

"Tell me, Cao An, how we want to act."

Although Jin Lin and Tinder had higher positions than him, it was obvious that neither of them liked to use their brains. Pan Daxi stood at attention, waiting for Cao An's arrangements.

Cao An also did his part, standing in front of the map and pointing to a large area south of the college.

"I have verified with many people that the south of the college is just a mountain forest. Occasionally, township workshops have settled here, and monsters and spirits appear from time to time. Our target is within this area."

Pan Daxi silently trimmed his beard and looked at the area planned by Cao An. He couldn't help but frown and asked, "It's difficult to find suspicious people in such a large forest. After all, there are only about sixty of us."

"That's enough. I don't need you to search for someone, but I need you to keep an eye on him."

Cao An's plan was very simple. He spread the news that he would set off in an hour, which gave the enemy enough time to retreat.

As for Pan Daxi and others who set off in advance, they only need to leave one person to follow them wherever they pass through a populated place and notify them if they notice any changes.

One person watching one place is definitely enough for sparsely populated mountains and forests.

"But even though the plan is like this, what if there is a flaw in some link? For example, the enemy's lair is relatively secretive? Can it be hidden?"

"Then just wait for the follow-up student team to advance. There are many of them. If they want to make contributions, they will work hard to find our enemies. What's more, we have a lot of help."

"Who?"

"Zouwu."

……

Those who signed up to participate in this action were still chanting slogans with righteous indignation. Many people even came to the Taoist Academy and the Legal Academy, wanting to join this action.

As everyone knows, Cao An, the initiator of the operation, had already quietly left through the back door with his people.

The dean's additional personal guards were all led by Pan Daxi. He was divided into several teams, and he was responsible for how to search and how to deliver the news.

As for Cao An and Ying Huorong, they are acting alone and they want to find Zuowu.

"Cao An, maybe the kitten just ran out to play naughtily? Is it really useful for us to find it?"

"In a regular search, there won't be many more than the two of us. And if we find Zuowu, even if it is really playful, we can let him carry us through the forest, making it easier to search for the enemy."

"good idea."

……

To the south of Nanshan is a vast mountain forest.

On weekdays, students will come here from time to time to practice. If you are lucky enough to encounter a little demon and kill one, you can brag about it in the academy for a long time and gain high popularity among your classmates.

But when it comes to popularity, Ying Huorong was the single leader in the martial arts academy back then.

Kill a pig demon? Cut a flower demon? That pales in comparison to Ying Huorong.

Ying Huorong's hunting in the mountains and forests is as simple as going home. It would be a small thing to go back without killing more than a dozen monsters.

Of course, almost all the monsters she killed were birds, and the trophies she brought back all had their wings chopped off.

Rumor has it that because Ying Huorong loved to eat roasted wings, during the years when she was studying, there was no bird life around the college, and no living thing dared to fly over the head of the college. It was very miserable.

Cao An originally didn't quite believe this kind of campus horror story, but when he actually saw Ying Huorong walking into the forest and letting the birds fly high in the sky, he became convinced.

I saw Ying Huorong taking a deep breath of air sweetly: "Huh, the air in the forest is still fresh! Look, I planted these trees. After two years of walking, they have grown a lot taller!"

"Are you familiar with this place?"

"Of course. The supply of roasted wings in the college is limited, so I can only run out and hunt game by myself." It can be felt that this person is really familiar with the forest. Even after two years, he still remembers the scenery in the forest. Every turn.

But why did you get lost in the ghost market for three days? Was it because the monster narrowed your eyes?

Cao An murmured to himself and asked, "Did you say before that you were sure of finding Zuowu?"

"Of course, just follow me." Ying Huorong replied confidently and began to lead Cao An the way forward.

The jungle is full of dangers. If you accidentally get lost, it will be quite dangerous.

But Ying Huorong insisted on treating this place as a back garden, and took Cao An to a small waterfall to wash his face, and then to the entrance of a huge spider cave to watch.

Finally, they went to a bird's nest and showed Cao An a unique skill of catching flying birds on the spot.

"I said, we are working on a case! Can you really find Zuowu?"

Cao An glanced at the sky and saw that it was already approaching noon. The longer the delay, the easier it would be for the target to escape, but there was no time to play.

"I'm also working on a case! Catching birdies is just a matter of convenience."

Ying Huorong tied up the birds he had just obtained and dragged them behind him, explaining: "The kitten and I have known each other since childhood and are very familiar with its smell, but it has a bad habit, that is, it likes to urinate everywhere."

With that said, Ying Huorong waved his hand to drive away the surrounding birds, and wrinkled his nose and sniffed a few times: "The kitten must have been here, go over there."

This guy is really good at it!
  Your ability to be able to distinguish the scent of Zou Wu from the dense bird droppings on the ground is quite terrifying.

"Approximately how far is it?"

"It smells quite fresh, it shouldn't be far away..."

"Roar!!!"

Suddenly, there was a roar like a lion's roar, which penetrated through the mountains and forests, scaring the forest birds and wild animals to run for their lives. The thick voice seemed to be full of anger.

"It's the kitten. He seems to be in trouble. Let's get there quickly." Ying Huorong was very worried about his friend's safety, and his body instantly turned into a blaze of fire and flew away into the sky.

Not to be outdone, Cao An activated the "Qing Yi Shen Xing Gong" at full speed. The two of them, one red and one green, quickly arrived at a hillside.

There were no worried monsters fighting. On the bare hillside, there was only a huge monster squatting alone on the ground.

It has a face like a tiger cat, with white and black fur, colorful stripes on its back, and a huge red tail that is six meters long. Even if it is just sitting, its terrifying and intimidating power scares Cao An.

But the kitten in Tinder's mouth is a kitten.

Sensing the stranger approaching, Zuowu turned his head and took a look. With just one glance, the ferocious face instantly turned into a cute one.

With a flat mouth and a flick of the tail, Zuowu's huge body crashed directly into Ying Huorong's arms.

His head kept rubbing against the beauty's cheek, and he moaned "Uh-huh~", as if he was wronged, and acted pitifully towards his master.

"Be good, little kitten! I'm back to see you. Did someone bully you when you barked so loudly just now? It doesn't matter, I'll help you beat him back." Ying Huorong clenched his little fist, ready to vent his anger on his pet.

But Cao An on the side gave Ying Huorong the answer with a slightly trembling voice.

"Perhaps Zuowu was not bullied, but angry, angry about what he saw."

"Angry? What did it see?" Ying Huorong walked over strangely, followed Cao An, stood on a slope, and looked down.

With just one glance, the fire all over Ying Huorong instantly rose.

"Son of a bitch!!!"

Angry roars echoed in a mass grave.

Right in front of their eyes, hundreds of human corpses were lying in the loess pit.

They saw the numerous bones, the mutilated corpses, and also the iconic t-shirt of Nanshan College.

"Attention, the nature of the case has changed dramatically."

"Triggering case: Nanshan Massacre."

"Case description: South of Nanshan, a cruel mass grave appeared. More than a hundred people died, and the corpses were mutilated. It is suspected that some kind of cruel ritual was performed. If you find this group of murderers, you will get a detective reward."
