Longevity starts with inheriting a friend's legacy

Chapter 60 Tracking Technique, Found the Witch's Hiding Place
The next morning, when Fang Xu got up, he found that the two Golden Scale Guards were still standing in the yard like sculptures. It seemed that they had not moved at all throughout the night.

This made Fang Xu feel a little emotional. The elite of the dynasty are the elite, and their discipline is impeccable.

After getting up and washing up, he went to the kitchen to cook some food and sent it to Chu Mu. Fang Xu ate a little, then went straight to the two of them and said, "Thank you both, let's go see the prince."

The two of them didn't say anything and followed him straight to the government office.

"You two go down and have some rest." Li Xun said after looking at the two Golden Scale Guards.

The two bowed slightly and then left. Li Xun looked at Fang Xu and asked, "What else do you know about witches?"

Most of his thoughts were lost, and he didn't know where to start. He could only pin his hopes on Fang Xu to see if he could remember something.

Fang Xu also racked his brains to recall all of this.

He only needs to rely on Li Xun's power to protect himself for these three to five days. After the news from the Yun family comes, if Li Xun still stays in Fenglin Town, he will have to continue to be a slave and be ordered around by him.

It would be better for him to find out more about these witches as soon as possible and leave Fenglin Town as soon as possible.

"A few days ago, those witches attacked Fenglin Town at night, and many people in the town died."

"The soldiers of Huangzhou Prefecture should have experienced this matter before. You can ask them, my Lord."

After thinking for a long time, Fang Xu bowed and spoke.

Yun Wan and the palace soldier commander Lu Yuan once led people into the mountains to suppress bandits. They must have just come down from the mountain that night. Fang Xu also thought that the strange fog that attacked Fenglin Town at that time seemed to have drifted from the direction of Tilan Mountain.

Maybe those palace soldiers know more than I do.

Hearing this, Li Xun's eyes lit up, and he immediately called two Golden Scale Guards to bring the soldiers from Huangzhou Prefecture for questioning.

From the words of the palace soldiers, he indeed found some new clues.

"You mean, on the night when Fenglin Town was attacked, Yun Wan killed a witch on the mountain?" Li Xun asked with a slightly fixed gaze.

The palace soldier quickly bowed and said, "Yes, the young lady did kill a witch with one sword. Later, we found that the strange fog had enveloped Maple Forest Town, so we hurried back to the town."

"Where is the witch's body!?" Li Xun asked again.

The palace soldier said uncertainly: "It should still be there, but I don't know if it has been eaten by a ferocious beast."

"Take this prince over!" Li Xun stood up suddenly, then looked at the Golden Scale Guards on his left and right and said, "Go and invite Master Taibu here!"

Taibu Xu Liang is a Feng Shui master. He was seriously injured when he tried to break the "game" set by Li Xun last time. Later, with the treatment of elixirs and Yunjin, he has improved a little and has been recuperating in the room these days.

"Prince." Xu Liang arrived and glanced at Fang Xu beside him and frowned slightly.

"Sir." Li Xun's words sounded, and Xu Liang turned his gaze away from Fang Xu, bowed to Li Xun and said, "Sir, please speak."

Li Xun pondered for a moment and said, "Xun'er heard that you have a tracking technique that can use the essence and blood of others, or objects that they have worn for a long time, to track the breath they left behind."

Xu Liang nodded and said, "You have this technique. Who are you looking for, my lord?"

Li Xun smiled happily when he heard this, then he bowed and said, "Then please follow Xun'er."

"You, take me to the place where the witch died."

Led by the palace soldier, the group soon arrived at the place where Yun Wan killed the witch that day.

However, as luck would have it, the witch's body had been eaten clean by wild beasts, with scattered bones and clothes scattered all around.

Seeing this, Li Xun showed a hint of disappointment on his face.

They were all gnawed away until only broken bones were left, and all their blood and essence were definitely gone.

"Prince, what is that?" Fang Xu noticed with his sharp eyes that there was a strange bronze object next to the broken boulder.

It looks like a bronze basket and is very finely crafted.

A Golden Scale Guard quickly walked over and picked up the bronze basket.

Xu Liang glanced at the basket and said with joy, "Is this the Mist-Raising Bowl from Muyun Country?"

Li Xun asked in confusion, "Sir, what is the Mist-Raising Bowl?" Xu Liang held the bronze basket in his hand as if it were a treasure, wiped the dust off it and said, "The Mist-Raising Bowl is a witch's magical tool. Your Highness can understand it as a special weapon."

"Take the pearl of the mirage beast from the sea and place it in the Mist Bowl. It can generate a large amount of fog and disrupt the enemy's vision. When my army of Dayu attacked the Muyun Kingdom, it suffered a lot from this Mist Bowl."

Upon hearing this, Li Xun looked at the Mist Bowl curiously, and then asked, "Sir, can you use this Mist Bowl to find the activities of these witches?"

A somewhat useless magic weapon was of little interest to him. What he cared about most now was how to find those witches.

Following my father here from Zhongzhou, everyone in the court was staring at me, especially those on the eldest prince's side.

If he couldn't even handle this small incident, the eldest prince's family might take the opportunity to publicize that he was a brave but foolish person, which would be detrimental to his father's next plan.

"Let me give it a try, old minister."

Xu Liang fumbled with the Mist-Gathering Bowl in his hand, and an extremely mysterious force slowly emerged from his body and enveloped the Bowl. Then, under the wrapping of this mysterious force, a black mist as thin as a hair slowly dissipated from the Bowl!

After the black fog appeared, it began to wander in the air and slowly drifted towards the depths of Tilan Mountain.

"Follow!"

Upon seeing this, Li Xun hurriedly led a group of Golden Scale Guards, Fang Xu and others to chase the black fog towards the depths of Tilan Mountain.

The black fog floats very slowly, and the slightest breeze will change its direction. It seems that it can only reposition itself and continue to float forward after circling in place for several circles.

"Prince, we are about to enter the depths of Tilan Mountain." Looking at the increasingly dense forest, Fang Xu could not help but remind him.

The outskirts of Tilan Mountain are relatively safe. A martial artist with the strength above the third realm can almost walk around freely here, unless he is extremely unlucky and encounters a high-level ferocious beast running out from the depths.

But it’s different in the depths. There live many high-level ferocious beasts in the depths of Tilan Mountain, some of which are capable of killing martial artists at the martial arts master level.

It is said that in deeper layers, there are some monsters living. They are all ferocious beasts that have cultivated well and have the power to easily kill martial artists.

"Don't worry about it, just keep chasing!"

Li Xun didn't care about these at all. He was a top martial artist among their group. Although Xu Liang had just recovered from a serious injury, he was still a martial artist at the third level of Martial Honor, which should be enough to deal with these.

Seeing this, Fang Xu had no choice but to follow, but his body involuntarily leaned closer to Xu Liang.

Everyone walked carefully through the jungle for about an hour, and the black fog in front of them suddenly slowed down.

Seeing this, Li Xun immediately stretched out his hand to signal everyone to slow down.

"Everyone, be careful. This is most likely where those witches are hiding."

Upon hearing this, all the Golden Scale Guards drew their swords and looked around vigilantly.

"Roar!"

At this moment, a low beast roar suddenly sounded in the jungle not far away!

Immediately afterwards——

Phew!

Phew!

……

Heavy gasps could be heard from all directions!

It was obvious that they were now surrounded by ferocious beasts.

As the ferocious beasts continued to approach, Fang Xu finally saw the faces of these beasts.

A giant wolf as big and strong as a calf, a wild boar with fangs like steel knives and a body like a tank, a majestic white-browed tiger with bone spurs on its back...

After a quick look, there are at least seven or eight different kinds of ferocious beasts, with more than a hundred of them!
