"If the opponent's actions are so secretive and he can devour the spirit beast in front of everyone's eyes, it means that he is also paying attention to us. If we go to search in a big way, I'm afraid it will alert the snake. I think it is better to arrange it secretly."

Xu Jingyi suggested.

"That's the truth. We can hide in the spirit beast field in advance and wait for the other party to fall into the trap." Su Yue also agreed with this truth.

Chu Yang shook his head and said: "It's not that easy. The perception of spiritual beasts is also very keen, no less than that of ordinary monks. They can eat one of them silently without causing panic among the beasts. Obviously the other party's perception is also very sharp." It’s powerful. If we ambush there, there is a high chance that we will be discovered by the other party. I think it’s better to find another way.”

At this time, Chu Ling'er said: "Master, I remember that you have a photographic stone that can record images. We can put a spiritual beast within the observation range of the photographic stone. When the other party takes the initiative to devour the spiritual beast, we can know what the other party is. What’s the origin?”

"This is a good idea."

Chu Yang nodded happily and said: "Let's not be stingy. Let's bring a group of spirit beasts to the zoo, and then place more image stones around them. Placing only one will definitely alert the other party, so it's better to be generous."

"Where should the spiritual beast be better placed?"

Jiang Yuntao's expression was solemn. In the past two days, he didn't dare to let anyone graze the spiritual beast anymore. He kept it in the animal pen. This spiritual beast can wander around. If it ran outside the unknown shadow stone, wouldn't it be nothing? Can't take a photo?

Chu Yang also thought about this problem and said: "When I went to the spirit beast farm before, I saw that the grass had dried up in some places, and there was still some green grass in some places, so I put the beasts where there is green grass. Don’t worry about the spirit beast running too far away.”

"Then I'll give you the order."

Jiang Yuntao rushed out the door.

The image stone was not expensive, only two thousand spiritual stones were available for each piece. Chu Yang directly purchased hundreds of them and took his disciples to the pasture where there was still green grass.

After dividing the imaging stones, Chu Yang and others spread out and evenly distributed the imaging stones around the grassland.

After being activated by spiritual power, the photo stone can be photographed for twelve hours. There will be no spiritual power fluctuations during the shooting process, making it difficult for enemies to detect.

After the arrangement was completed, Jiang Yuntao and others rode horses and drove a group of yellow sheep to the pasture where the shadow stones were laid out, and then pretended to leave to take care of other herds.

There are more than thirty yellow sheep in this group, which is a relatively large number of spiritual beasts. It is harmless to eat one or two. If it were replaced by bison and other spiritual beasts, everyone would feel distressed for a long time. Buffalo, wild horse and donkey are all used For livestock, each head is very valuable, so yellow sheep can only be used as bait.

After doing all this, everyone else went to work on their own. They only waited for a count in the afternoon to see if the number of yellow sheep had decreased.

It was getting dark when Chu Yang, who was waiting in the village, suddenly heard the sound of rapid horse hooves in the distance. He hurriedly got up and left the yard where his parents lived to see what happened.

In less than a moment, a horse flew up and shouted from a distance: "Master Ciao, one of the yellow sheep has been lost!"

The person who came was a descendant of the Jiang family and could be regarded as Jiang Yuntao's right-hand man.

Everyone who came after hearing the news had a stern look on their faces. As expected, it seemed that something was secretly eating the spirit beasts. This phenomenon also made everyone a little nervous.

"Master, let's go quickly, maybe we can catch up!"

Seeing that Chu Yang didn't speak, Li Mengzhu couldn't help but urge.

"No hurries."

Chu Yang shook his head and said: "We can't go. Let Brother Tao drive the yellow sheep back. I will collect the shadow stone later and see if I find anything."

Waiting until the sky was dark, Chu Yang flew to the playground with the wind, intending to retrieve the shadow stone. Everyone was worried about his safety and wanted to go with them, but Chu Yang refused.

The other party has a keen sense, and there is a risk of being discovered if there are too many people there. He converges his spiritual consciousness and uses invisibility to better hide his whereabouts to avoid being discovered by the other party.

When he arrived at the grassland where the shadow stones were arranged, Chu Yang did not find any powerful enemies, so he quietly put away the shadow stones and returned to the village.

There are more than a hundred photographic stones, and it is very time-consuming to check them all.

Chu Yang said hello to Wei Zirui and asked him to invite the Wei family's foundation building masters to check out the video of the image stone.

Inside and outside the village meeting hall, dozens of people were standing or sitting, holding a photo stone and injecting spiritual power to play the video.

This thing was very new, and everyone thought it was fun. They kept tinkering with it while holding it in their hands. Some even studied the production method, but Wei Huai came out to scold them and asked them to pay attention to the video. These talents became a lot more honest.

The contents of the videos are all different. The pictures captured are either static grassland, gazelles suddenly passing through the camera, or a group of gazelles grazing lazily.

Fortunately, the recording stone can control the playback speed with spiritual consciousness. Everyone is fast forwarding all the way, and the content of the video is also played forward quickly.

After half of the inspection, nothing was found. Everyone couldn't help but become anxious, secretly thinking that the things might be well hidden, so they were not caught on video when they ate the spiritual beasts. In this case, the rest of the video would be meaningless.

Seeing that everyone was listless, Chu Yang reminded: "Cheer up, everyone. There will always be some clues found in these hundreds of image stones. Don't miss any detail!"

Everyone was very excited and opened their eyes and continued to check the video.

"Hey, I made a discovery!"

At this time, someone suddenly shouted.

Everyone turned around and looked at the person who made the noise. This person was a middle-aged man from the Wei family.

Chu Yang stood up, walked to the other party, and asked him to rewind the video for half a minute.

After continuing to play, Chu Yang stared at the video without blinking.

Several sheep in the picture were grazing with their heads down. From time to time they looked up and around, and continued eating after not noticing any movement.

However, more than ten seconds after the scene, when a yellow sheep lowered its head to eat grass, a white shadow was seen passing by, and the yellow sheep disappeared out of thin air. The other yellow sheep found that their companions were missing, and they were just stunned. After taking one look, he continued to lower his head and start eating grass.

"Rewind it, play it at 0.1 times, and see what this is!"

Chu Yang cheered up. As long as he caught the other party, it would mean that the yellow sheep did not disappear by themselves.

The playback speed slowed down and the picture became dull. When the white shadow appeared, Chu Yang opened his eyes wide to see it, but still couldn't see clearly what it was.

Su Yue and others watched and witnessed the entire video. Like Chu Yang, they did not recognize what it was.

"They must have used magic to hide their whereabouts, otherwise it would be impossible to see clearly."

After reducing the playback speed to the minimum and still not being able to see clearly, Chu Yang regretfully expressed his conclusion.

Su Yue comforted: "It's okay. It has been discovered now. As long as you find a way to catch it, you will naturally know what it is."
