The Crown Prince I’m Raising Has Turned Evil

Xie Linlang shook his head and didn't want to meddle in other matters. Their main purpose this time was to rescue people and then spy on the situation. It was better not to interfere with other things.

After all, the people of the Swamp Country are so united, they will definitely not welcome her if they know her true identity, so she should keep a low profile!

In order to keep a low profile, Xie Linlang gave up breaking in and decided to split her troops into two groups. Ye Bai and Xunfeng took Zhao Yan to explore the snake bone forest first. She took A Feng to learn more about the situation in Lilac City. By the way, in the evening Visiting a private house at night.

After the two groups separated, Xie Linlang took Afeng to find a random inn to stay in. She didn't take action until everyone was asleep.

The night is colder than the day, and there is a thin mist surrounding it, which looks very mysterious.

Xie Linlang brought Afeng to the door, and saw that the big lock was broken by her hand. Then she led people in, and a faint stench wafted over.

The house was in a mess, as if there had been a struggle, and there were traces of blood dragged out on the ground, extending to the backyard.

Xie Linlang followed the blood stains and found a family of five abandoned in the woodshed.

They were all hacked to death, and because the weather was still cold, the stench was not strong.

Afeng stood behind Xie Linlang, his eyes widened in fear. With the light of the torch, he glanced at one of them several times before saying.

"Brother Xie, he is, he is the one who takes the escort!"

Xie Linlang shook her head when she heard this. Although she couldn't do an autopsy, she could make inferences.

"You must not have come into the house last time, right?"

Afeng nodded, "This man paid us the money at the door."

Xie Linlang added, "I guess these people died when you came here last time. That person disguised himself as this person and traded with you. After the transaction, he should have stayed in this house for a while. I searched for something for two days and left only after I found it.”

The reason Xie Linlang guessed this was because the person who committed the murder did not have time to clean the tables and chairs, but dragged the corpses together. Apparently he wanted to keep them for a while and felt that the corpses were an eyesore.

It seems that at the beginning, even if the golden armored escort was here, the murderer changed his mind and asked Gu An and the others to be sent to the Snake Bone Forest. It may be because he wanted to silence him, or it may be for other reasons.

As for what the woman said during the day that the murderer took something heavy away from here, what was it?

Xie Linlang took Afeng around.

Afeng was obviously a little scared. It was a dark and windy night, and it was really a test of courage to search for evidence in a house where the whole family had been killed.

But when he saw that Xie Linlang looked unafraid, he suppressed his fear and calmed down a little, while looking at her back with a little envy.

Mr. Xie is only a few years older than him, but his mind is much stronger than his. As expected, people who can do great things are different from ordinary people.

Xie Linlang searched everywhere and finally found a small tunnel in the place where the mules were originally fed.

She asked A Feng to wait above, and then went down the tunnel, and then saw a small dungeon.

From the size of the shackles hanging on the wall, Xie Linlang deduced that a woman had been imprisoned here before. Just as she was holding a sparkle and getting closer to take a look, a black beetle that was slightly wider than a centipede came out from behind the shackles. , shocked her!

It's that kind of black shell insect!

Xie Linlang immediately recalled the feeling of being bitten by it, and quickly went up. After going up, she filled up the hole and left there with Afeng.

What can be inferred at the moment is that the box that was taken away may not contain goods, but living people. Someone rescued the woman below. That woman may be one of her tribesmen.

After coming out, they did not go back to the inn, but went directly to the Snake Bone Forest.

At this time, Xie Linlang had evidence to suspect that there was probably more than one clan member in the Swamp Country. If he found Gu An, he might be able to find them!

Following the mark left by Xunfeng, Xie Linlang quickly joined them. At this time, Xunfeng told her.

"Master, when I was on the outskirts of the forest, I met a lot of people looking for people. Two days ago, two girls who were collecting herbs disappeared. Their parents refused to give up and have been looking for them.

They also said that because there are so many snakes and beasts in the Snake Bone Forest, it is normal for a dozen or so people to disappear a year, but in recent years there have been many more, and they suspect they were eaten by large beasts. "

After hearing this, Xie Linlang became more and more curious about the Swamp Kingdom.

First, the emperor was unable to leave due to illness, then the prince defected, and then the population disappeared. These events seemed unrelated, but they gave Xie Linlang a feeling that a storm was about to come.

It seems that this swamp country is not peaceful either.

They walked all night and came to the edge of the Snake Bone Forest. Instead of rushing in, they decided to rest for a few hours before talking.

By the time they decided to set off, it was already broad daylight. Xie Linlang also met two groups of hunters, who nodded to them in a friendly manner.

For some experienced hunters, it is possible to go inside the forest, but not too deep.

The Snake Bone Forest is very large. The outer areas are very safe, but the inner areas are divided into three parts. The deeper you go, the more dangerous it becomes.

Xie Linlang noticed that the two groups she saw before were wearing small golden sachets around their necks. She was a little curious, so when she met the third group, she greeted them and asked them What are you carrying?

One of the young men with short hair and a bright look said.

"This is snake repellent powder. You guys must be from out of town, but they don't know about snake repellent powder."

As he spoke, he pointed to the east forest and said, "The Goddess Temple in the Snake Bone Forest will distribute free snake repellent powder to every believer. This snake repellent powder is very powerful. As long as you wear it, all poisonous insects will not dare to approach!"

Hearing this, Xie Linlang looked along his finger and saw a pointed top protruding from the forest not far away.

Because all the people in the Swamp Kingdom believe in the forest goddess, there are goddess temples everywhere. They encountered several of them when they came here, and each time they would do some kind deeds to attract local believers to worship.

The young man was very enthusiastic. Seeing that Xie Linlang and the others did not have snake repellent powder, he gave them a sachet.

Although Xie Linlang had insect repellent powder, he still accepted the other party's kindness, and then the group continued to move deeper into the forest.

This forest is so big that if someone built an underground palace here, it would be really difficult for them to find it.

At this time, Afeng suddenly stopped and pointed to a tall tree full of golden leaves.

"This is it. Last time we only found this place, we were attacked by a group of black bugs. Those bugs were not afraid of the repellent we brought. As a last resort, we retreated. There are still marks on this tree that I left at that time."

(Ahem, it seems that there is still one chapter to be written until twelve o'clock - everyone goes to bed early~ I say good night to you in advance, okay?)
