The night is already deep.

On the Dawangzhuang threshing ground, only the red embers remained from the blazing bonfire, and the few people who were on duty next to them also leaned back and forth and dozed off.

They are swordsmen invited by the Wang family, and they have more than ten years of experience in traveling all over the world. The reason why they are so slack in defense is because the Wang family also brought a few thin-waisted mountain dogs with them when they set off. These hunting dogs are very vigilant. , They will feel the slightest disturbance, and more importantly, they are definitely not like domestic dogs that will even bark when they hear mice crawling. Once they make a sound, they must be targeted.

But these thin-waisted mountain dogs have already fallen into a pool of blood at this time!Their death conditions were extremely miserable, and they were very similar. Their heads were all cut off alive by extremely sharp tools, and there was only a layer of skin half connected, so they didn't even howl.

Immediately afterwards, in the darkness above the threshing floor, there seemed to be something surging, but if one looked closely, there was nothing but stars.

All of a sudden, the breaths of the people who stayed behind in the convoy became cloudy, and their whole bodies began to twitch. They soon woke up from their sleep, but the whites of their eyes were completely turned out, and there was a rumbling sound in their throats. They all wrestled with each other, biting fiercely, completely losing their minds like mad dogs! !

Of course, this abnormality immediately attracted the attention of those who fell asleep. Soon, a series of shouts sounded, and then they swarmed out like someone poking a hornet's nest, and a large number of lights were lit. up.Those miserable corpses immediately aroused the crowd's uproar, like a stone stirring up a thousand waves, inducing fear, panic, and suspicion...

The noise outside naturally woke Lin Fengjin up. He opened his eyes at once, but still lay motionless on the bed.After a while, he called out in a low voice:

"Linde?"

A muffled alert voice came immediately from outside the house.

"Master, I'm here, please don't come out rashly."

Lin Fengjin nodded, closed his eyes and continued to rest his mind. At this time, he had arranged a total of eight people in the front, back, left, and right sides of the room. These eight people obeyed Lin De's command. They slept in the carriage during the day and came here specially at night. Stay overnight to ensure Lin Fengjin's safety.

The riot at this time was very strange, so Lin Fengjin would not show up. There was no lack of such a trap: first trigger the riot to attract the attention of the person in charge, and then take advantage of the appearance to kill him with one blow.Although Lin Fengjin felt that the possibility of targeting himself was very low, of course he would not take such a risk, so he said lightly:

"Don't call me before Wang Sanlang and Fu Yidao come out."

Not long after, another servant came over and said respectfully:

"Shaodong's family, the matter has basically been clarified. The four thin-waisted hounds released by the Wang family were all beheaded and died. The few people on duty at the threshing ground are all experienced swordsmen, but only One survived, and they seemed to have gone mad, and the weirdest thing is that they died as if they killed each other."

Lin Fengjin nodded slightly and said:

"Are all of us okay?"

That family member said:

"It's okay, we are not on duty today, the only ones who suffer are those who are on watch."

"I see." Lin Fengjin said: "There are a lot of people now. After the situation calms down a little, Uncle Li and Lin De will bring people to go with me to have a look. I'll rest up first."

After about a cup of tea, Li Hu rushed over and said:

"Master, it's almost time now. The leader, Chen Dabiao, just invited me to a meeting, but I turned him down. If it takes a while, it may be too late to find any clues."

Lin Fengjin got up from the bed, casually changed into a servant's clothes and went out, then mixed in the crowd and walked out inconspicuously.Li Hu led Lin Fengjin to the threshing ground first. At this time, there was a waning moon in the sky. It was four or five o'clock in the morning. Under the light of the torch, Lin Fengjin looked at the large groups of blood on the ground. There is also a slightly shocking feeling.

He closed his eyes, and activated the mental method of the pregnant five gods. After taking a deep breath, with the blessing of the power of the waning moon in the sky, the awakened lungs and spirits worked with all their strength, and once again displayed the mysterious and vast world of scents in the forest. In front of Feng Jin!

Probably because the rice has just been harvested, the whole village is shrouded in a faint smell of rice, and the smell of cooking smoke is still lingering. The next thing Lin Fengjin can feel most clearly is the group of servants around him The smell of sweat, and then the fresh and strong smell of blood.

If Lin Fengjin's guess is correct, the remaining faint smell of turbid wine should be left by the drunk cat next to Chen Dabiao, and the biggest car in the large convoy next to him is full of the smell of kerosene. It seems that the person in charge behind the caravan is also prepared for the possible bad situation, and has set up a very vicious trap.

The breath left by Fu Yidao is very little, but it is strong and lingering for a long time, even like a thread that clearly marks his course of action... Next, Lin Fengjin did not find it. Any suspicious leads!

"It's a pity, only my lungs are awake..." Lin Fengjin sighed slightly in his heart, but his face was expressionless, he nodded slightly, and then said to Li Hu: "Is this the scene of the dead?" ? What did the remaining survivor say?"

Li Hu didn't look back, because he wanted to conceal Lin Fengjin's identity, he still said respectfully:

"That person's spirit seems to have collapsed. He was crying and laughing like a lunatic. All he can say is kill kill kill."

Lin Fengjin was silent for a while. Those on duty tonight are all selected veteran swordsmen. What have you never seen before traveling all over the world?What happened to them?How could they scare these people into such a state?He pondered:

"Didn't you say that a few dogs died? Take me to see it?"

Li Hu nodded and introduced:

"The thin-waisted dog brought by the Wang family is very famous. It is worth a group of people to guard the house. It is very loyal. It will never eat food from outsiders, and it will not bite and bark like a dog. If it is a purebred fine dog that comes from the Xirong side, it can be exchanged for ten strong servants for each head that runs to such a vital place as the throat."

Lin Fengjin has also read about this kind of fierce dog in the book. It is said that it is very cunning. It is a hybrid of wolf, dog and embarrassing blood. The ferocious creature is also a little surprised at the enemy's methods, which can kill such a fierce dog in an instant, so that it can't even make a sound!

At this time, a group of people had already passed by, and the body of the thin-waisted dog was still in place, but it was already 60 meters away from the grain drying field in Dawangzhuang. The rice had just been harvested here, and the wheat handles stood like people In the paddy field, there are trees nearby, and the surrounding mud has been trampled to pieces by the people who heard the news.

Lin Fengjin took another deep breath, and his lungs were immediately filled with the cold air in the early morning. The most pungent smell was still the smell of dog blood, and then there was the unique smell of muddy water in the rice fields, mixed with wheat straw slowly drying out The freshness of…….

But at this time, Lin Fengjin suddenly felt an indescribable strangeness. This kind of strangeness could not be clearly distinguished for the time being, but it seemed to be incompatible with the surrounding environment. Although there was only a trace of this smell, Lin Fengjin still held him Hold on firmly.

"This is... the strange smell of tung oil after being heated! Yes! Well, there is a little bit of rosin!"

"In the field, how can there be the smell of hot tung oil and rosin??"

Lin Fengjin closed his eyes, suddenly pointed to the right, and said in a deep voice:

"Be careful! There are weird things under the straw stack five paces to the west!"

As soon as he gave an order, three people stood in front of him to protect him. Even Lin De slowly took out the longbow behind him. Li Hu clenched the handle of the knife and slowly put the bow on the battlefield. The decades-old murder weapon was drawn out, and the horrifying sound of friction between the blade and the scabbard was particularly ear-piercing in the silence.

A servant was on guard, and from a distance he used his spear to pick apart the straw stack that Lin Fengjin was pointing at. At first, he couldn't see anything, but when he took a light from the lantern, he found a fist-sized mud hole with a hole in the hole. They were all blocked by wet soil. If Lin Fengjin hadn't pointed it out, no one would have thought that this rat-hole-like thing that can be seen everywhere would become a clue!

"Dig." Lin Fengjin only said one word, and naturally someone started to dig the hole two or three feet away, and a strange thing happened. You can see that there is a passage the size of a water tank inside. There are very clear traces of fresh scratching all over the passage.Judging from the marks, the claws are at least half a foot long. Digging mud and rocks is like picking tofu.

But at this time, the actions of the Lin family also attracted the rest of the people. I heard that they found clues, and naturally the people who were in charge rushed over. On that clue, no one noticed him either.
