Chapter 872
872 The graveyard
In the evening, Xia Pingan arrived at the red fox Mountain Cemetery on the west side of Koland. It was the largest Cemetery in Koland and, more than 40 kilometers away from the city. According to the information provided by Mr. Coin, this Cemetery had recently been the one with more stolen bodies. At the same time, it was far from the city, so it was usually not crowded and was the most prone to accidents.
The blood-red afterglow of the setting sun flew over the treetops and shone on the rows of pitch-black marble tombstones on the hillside of red fox Mountain. In addition to the occasional chirping of birds from the nearby forest, the atmosphere here was particularly eerie. Looking around, there was no one around the cemetery.
this won’t do. I really have to buy a carriage when I go back this time, ” Xia Pingan, who had walked a full seven to eight kilometers from the small road to the foot of the mountain, couldn’t help but Mutter when he saw the tombstones on the mountain.
When the city’s rental carriages heard that Xia Pingan was coming to Fox Mountain Cemetery, none of the drivers were willing to come, even if Xia Pingan paid three times the fare. This place was a taboo to many people in Corland city, because many strange things had happened here in the past. The most serious one was more than a decade ago when a Dark Magus summoned many skeletal Warriors and caused a huge commotion. It was said that many people had died. This was also the origin of many terrifying urban legends in Corland city. Therefore, when the Coachmen heard that Xia Pingan would come here when it was almost dark, they all chose to refuse.
In the end, Xia Pingan could only find a carriage and said that he had to go to the nearest town before the carriage was willing to come. After arriving in the town, Xia Pingan had to walk another seven or eight kilometers to get here.
I want to sit in the carriage too, Yingluo, I want to sit in the carriage too, Yingluo, I want to sit in the carriage too, Yingluo. just beside Xia Pingan, a green macaw was flying around, imitating the words of others.
It took Xia Pingan 45 divine power points to summon this green-clothed emissary. The price of summoning such a bird was actually more expensive than summoning a farmer.
This was also Xia Pingan’s choice after careful consideration. To be honest, this choice was more or less influenced by Fang ping, because Xia Pingan realized that a parrot that could fly, speak the human language, and had a considerable IQ would be very useful to a Summoner living in this city. This parrot could be the summoner’s eyes, follower, and Messenger. It was simply too useful.
Xia Pingan was not sure what realm Pearl Fang ping had used to summon the Tiger-skinned parrot because there was more than one story about parrots in history, and there was more than one realm Pearl that could summon parrots. However, he could clearly feel that the only parrot in history that had been awarded by the Emperor should be stronger than the parrot Fang ping had summoned-this parrot had a richer language and a high IQ.
“Shall we go and see if there are any people or unusual things on the mountain?” Xia Pingan ordered the green-robed Messenger.
“Okay, Zhenzhen.” The emissary in green didn’t say anything else. He flapped his wings and flew towards the graveyard.
Xia ping ‘an sensed that there was no aura of victory around the cemetery, and he couldn’t see anyone hiding here. However, he didn’t dare to be careless. Before approaching the cemetery, he had already paid attention to hiding himself and didn’t approach the cemetery rashly.
Who knew if there were any dangers around the cemetery?
Xia Pingan hid behind a thicket and watched the parrot fly away.
At this time, the intelligence and wisdom of the green-robed emissary were displayed. The green-robed emissary did not fly straight towards the cemetery. Instead, he flew in a small half-circle and flew into the forest in another direction. More than ten seconds later, a few Titmouse and wood-chasing birds in the forest were so frightened that they flew up. When the birds flew out of the forest and made some noise, the green-robed emissary flew out of the forest as well. He flew only as high as the treetops and hid his figure. They approached the cemetery from another direction.
Seeing this scene, Xia ping ‘an was also speechless. He realized that when the green-clothed emissary was carrying out a simple reconnaissance mission, he would actually play the trick of doing things in secret. To be honest, even a stupid person would not have thought of this. As expected of a bird that could help the government solve a case and seek justice for its master.
As a bird, the green-clothed emissary’s sharp vision appeared in Xia ping ‘an’s consciousness when he was flying, making Xia ping’ an feel as if he was flying and patrolling in the sky.
After flying around the cemetery, the green-clothed emissary flew to the top of red fox Mountain and looked down. He found some animals such as rabbits, wild boars, foxes, honey jars, and hedgehogs, but he didn’t find any people or dangerous things.
From the perspective of the green-shirted emissary, Xia Pingan could clearly see that there were a few graves in the cemetery that had been dug up. The new graves were surrounded by yellow police tape.
However, the police tape was hanging lifelessly around the graveyards. The police probably came to investigate the scene after receiving a report and found that they couldn’t do anything about it. They just put up a police tape and left.
Over 20 minutes later, the green-clothed emissary stopped on a big tree in the woods beside the cemetery and started to comb his feathers. He was waiting for the arrival of Xia Pingan. At this moment, the sun had already set in the West and a wisp of night covered the cemetery. Some green will-o’- the-wisps had already appeared around the cemetery, making the atmosphere gloomy.
At this moment, Xia Pingan was already standing in front of an excavated grave. He squatted on the ground and carefully examined the excavated grave.
There was no trace of magic in the excavated grave. On the broken coffins, there were traces of being pierced by something hard. Judging from all these signs, the person who excavated the grave should be an ordinary person. Even if he was a mage, he should not be very powerful, which was suitable for a ” rookie ” like him.
Stealing corpses had a bad influence and could easily cause panic, but from the looks of it, the person who stole the corpses and dug the graves here wasn’t strong. However, it couldn’t be ruled out that there was a master behind it, which was why Mr. Coin had thrown this matter to him.
to make this my first mission and complete it alone, this should be a test from Mr. Coin. Xia Pingan shook her head. No wonder Mr. Coin did not tell him where the black market in corand was. He only said that he would take him to see it when the conditions were right. This meant that he had not fully trusted her abilities.
If he could summon the Black Dragon, it would be very easy to find the direction of the corpses. However, summoning the Black Dragon required 210 points of divine power, which was too extravagant for Xia Pingan at the moment.
For Xia ping ‘an, there were other more economical and ” divine power “-saving methods to search for the body. This afternoon, he had strolled around the city to prepare the necessary tools to solve the case.
Don’t forget, when it came to playing with corpses, the divine tomb sect was a unique one. Xia Pingan basically knew all the secret techniques related to corpses in the divine tomb sect.
Xia Pingan surveyed the few tombs that had been excavated. Among the tombs, one of them seemed to have been dug for a long time. The coffin that had been destroyed and thrown beside the tomb had rotted, and there was a stench of corpses in the grave pit.
Xia Pingan put on a pair of white gloves and squatted in the soil beside the grave that had been dug open. A branch appeared in his hand. He used the branch to dig a few times in the soil and saw a living dark red undead worm. The undead worm looked a little like a maggot, but it was bigger than a maggot. It was something that appeared after the corpse rotted. After being thrown out of the soil, the undead worm burrowed back into the soil.
Upon discovering the corpse worm, a small glass bottle instantly appeared in Xia Pingan’s hand. He opened the bottle cap and used a pair of tweezers to pick up The Living Corpse worm from the soil and put it into the bottle.
Xia ping ‘an held the bottle and mumbled something. He pointed at the corpse worm with one finger and constantly drew strange lines in the air. After more than ten seconds, as two points of Xia ping’ an’s divine power were consumed, a few blood-red lights suddenly gathered in the air and flew to the corpse worm in the glass bottle.
The undead bug that was originally lying in the glass bottle suddenly froze. Its body stood up straight in the bottle, looking extremely strange. The undead bug’s head was turning in circles. After turning a few times, the undead bug’s head pointed in the direction of the city like a compass, and it stopped moving.
The corpse-searching secret technique was a success!
Among the secret techniques of the divine tomb sect, this technique of using corpse bugs to find corpses was only a small trick that was not worth mentioning.
Xia Pingan took the bottle and left the cemetery.
When Xia ping ‘an left the cemetery, no matter where she went, the corpse Worm’s Head in the bottle always pointed in a direction in the city of kolanthe.
The messenger in green flew over and landed directly on Xia Pingan’s shoulder. He was still mumbling, ” I’m so tired, Yingluo. I’m so tired, Yingluo. This Messenger also needs to rest for a while.
