Chapter 24 Moon Night Chasing the Murderer
Under the moonlight, two figures ran wildly in the forest.

One of them was a girl in white soft armor with a very beautiful appearance, and her brows were filled with a heroic aura that would not give way to a man. The demeanor exuded intentionally or unintentionally was enough to make most men feel ashamed.

The boy who walked side by side with the girl was not that outstanding in appearance, but he also gave off a sunny and unrestrained feeling, making it difficult to feel disgusted.

This pair of men and women who were galloping looked like they were only fifteen or sixteen years old, and they were full of youthful vitality.

They were exactly Li Chao and Wu Bingyun who had just come out of Wuyu Mountain Villa and were chasing after the murderer on a moonlit night.

"Student Bingyun, judging from the behavior after our meeting today, you seem to know me very well. Could it be that you have investigated me before?" Doubts in my heart.

"I do know something about you. As for the reason..." Wu Bingyun said without looking back, "Guess?"

I do not guess you guess guess?

Well, Li Chou is really not in the mood to play tongue twisters with this beautiful girl right now.Turning her eyes, she immediately smiled and said, "A girl secretly investigated a boy. The reason is of course out of curiosity, and a girl's curiosity about a boy often means that she likes it. If I were to guess, the truth is only One, you have a crush on me!"

"Bah!" Hearing Li Chouchou's shameless reasoning, Wu Bingyun immediately spat, and then explained: "Don't be so stinky, who is secretly in love with you?"

After thinking about it for a while, I may feel that this misunderstanding needs to be clarified, so I continued: "The dean told me about your matter. He has a very high evaluation of you, and even thinks that you will not be able to break through body training even if you live a lifetime." The seventh level, your future achievements will definitely not lose to any innate powerhouse."

Sure enough, to make a girl tell the truth, it is more effective to use this aggressive method, because she has to clarify this misunderstanding.

With a triumphant smile on the corner of his mouth, Li Chou continued to ask: "Dean Gu?"

"That's right." Now that he has said it, Wu Bingyun simply said bluntly: "It is the principal of our Qingfeng Academy, one of the five innate powerhouses in Qingfeng City, and the so-called shadowless Dean Gu Yunfeigu."

Sure enough, it's no wonder.

Although Li Chou's grades in martial arts are mediocre every year because of his health, his grades in liberal arts have remained No. 1 in the school for three consecutive years.

This kind of achievement is not valued very much in Tianyuan Continent, which values ​​martial arts and despise literature, and others have not paid more attention to him because of this, but there is one exception, and that is Qingfeng College's dean. Chang Gu Yunfei.

Gu Yunfei became interested in this young man with mediocre martial arts achievements from Li Chou's three consecutive liberal arts achievements. After observing him secretly for a period of time, he finally discovered that Li Chou was not only as simple as a good book reader, but His reasoning and analysis ability, vision and insights, and even the strong mental power that Li Chou inadvertently displayed were captured by this innate strong man with a heart.

Later, by chance, Gu Yunfei got in touch with Li Chou, and took the opportunity to ask Li Chou's opinion on a few major events in the world. Li Chou's answer surprised the dean. Then he gave the 28-character comment.

A pair of insightful eyes to see the world, full of thoughts no one knows, Qingfeng has won three consecutive awards, the only person in the history of Zongheng Academy!
It's just that this matter is extremely secretive. Although it's not a secret, not too many people know about it.

Wu Bingyun was able to learn about this matter from Dean Gu, which shows that this high-achieving student who is usually low-key in front of him is definitely not as simple as others imagined.

"Speaking of it." Wu Bingyun spoke again at this time, and took the initiative to say: "After the dean told me these things, he specifically asked me not to spread these words. I have never understood this. Could it be that your deeds Propagating it well will not only give you better opportunities for development, but also set an example for the academy, so why not do it?"

"The reason..." Li Chou replied casually, "I'm afraid I'll mislead my son."

Wu Bingyun couldn't help frowning when he heard the words, and asked in puzzlement, "What do you mean?"

"Because my talent is hard to copy." Li Chou patiently explained: "Maybe even if it is difficult for me to succeed in martial arts in the future, I will still have a way to be better than many innate powerhouses, but others can't."

"At Qingfeng Academy, as long as students who can break through to the seventh level of physical training before the age of 16, they can be selected by a higher-level key academy to continue their studies, and then they can sign up to join the four major armies and get a higher status and good income."

"Students like this, in Qingfeng College alone, there are no less than a hundred of them every year. But, can you imagine the students who rank 1 in liberal arts, what will they rely on to make ends meet in the future?"

Hearing Li Chou's explanation, Wu Bingyun couldn't help nodding, feeling suddenly enlightened.Immediately afterwards, there was another frown, and he stopped suddenly, and called Li Chou to stop him: "Don't go any further."

While speaking, Wu Bingyun took out a map of the whistling mountains and forests from his bosom, and Li Chou also moved over to it, but saw that not only all the peaks and rivers were marked on it, but some places were even highlighted with red pens. Write the names of different beasts.

"The places marked with red circles are all the territory of fierce beasts in the mountains. Every fierce beast has the terrifying strength no less than that of Houtian warriors. In addition to the home court advantage in the mountains and forests, even ordinary Houtian warriors dare not It's easy to provoke, if the two of us break in by mistake, we will definitely die."

While introducing to Li Chou, Wu Bingyun's jade-like finger slowly slid across the map, starting from Wuyu Villa, following the direction the two of them were traveling, and finally pointing at the place marked by a red circle. place.

"Clouded Leopard!" Seeing the name of the beast recorded on the map, Li Chou couldn't help but gasp: "According to the records of the Hundred Beasts, the Clouded Leopard is an extremely difficult existence even among the beasts. "

"Not only does it possess stronger power than acquired warriors, but it also has an astonishingly fast speed. For ordinary warriors in the realm of body training, not to mention their bodies, I'm afraid even their eyes can hardly keep up with its moving speed. Often only an afterimage can be seen, and it has become its delicious meal."

Wu Bingyun nodded solemnly, and said in a deep voice: "You're right, the hill ahead is the territory of the clouded leopard, we can't continue chasing it forward."

"It's just that we followed the trace left by Zhuang Ziqin all the way to this point. Could it be that he has already broken through?"

"I don't think so." Li Chou looked around, and said calmly, "The clouded leopard is fierce and tyrannical, let alone Zhuang Ziqin, even ordinary acquired masters who want to break through its territory are close to death. It can be seen from the case of the murder of a classmate that the murderer is not only vicious, but also thoughtful."

"If Zhuang Ziqin is really the murderer, then if he is not sure, he will never put himself in such a dangerous situation easily."

Wu Bingyun was already convinced by Li Chou's reasoning ability at this moment, and asked hurriedly after hearing the words: "Then what do you mean?"

"One of my favorite ways of thinking is called empathy." While Li Chou was speaking, he walked slowly aside: "Night is the time when ferocious birds and beasts gather to forage. It is several times more dangerous, and if he does not return all night, it will inevitably arouse suspicion at this moment. So for Zhuang Ziqin, the degree of danger will be several times more dangerous."

"If it were me, I would never choose to drive at night. If you put yourself in the role of Zhuang Ziqin, you can easily imagine that the chances of being attacked by wild beasts increase geometrically when driving at night. If you expose your whereabouts, the chances of being caught by Senior Ram will also be greatly increased."

"Geometric numbers?" Wu Bingyun immediately asked after hearing the new words, "What do you mean?"

"Don't care about those details." Li Chou dismissed his slip of the tongue lightly, stopped and continued: "Wuthering Mountain Forest is vast, and it is absolutely impossible to go out in a day. If I were Zhuang Ziqin, I would definitely be there Before night falls, find a safe place to hide yourself. On the one hand, you can avoid unnecessary battles, on the other hand, you can avoid pursuers, and it will be much easier to continue running after dawn tomorrow."

While speaking, Li Chou stopped, pushed aside a pair of weeds in front of him and said with a smile, "Look at this."

"This is...human footprints." The soil under the weeds was moist and soft, and by the moonlight, one could clearly see a very clear shoe print on it.

Looking up in the direction of the footprints, I saw an unnamed hill in front of me.

Upon seeing this, Li Chou immediately said: "The best way to hide yourself in such an environment as the Wuthering Mountain Forest is to occupy a magpie's nest, kill a nest of low-strength beasts, hide the blood, and suffer in its cave. Last night is the safest and safest way. Let's search separately, and if we find something, we will immediately call the police."

"Okay." Wu Bingyun responded, and the two searched around the nameless hill from the left and right respectively.If there really is a beast lair here, opening a cave in the mountains is the greatest possibility.

However, before Li Chou had gone far, he suddenly heard the sound of weapons clashing behind him, followed by Wu Bingyun's exclamation: "Zhuang Ziqin!"

Sure enough, this guy was caught!

Li Chou's spirit was shaken, and he immediately turned back with his gun in hand. However, when he rushed to the battlefield, Li Chou was stunned by the scene he saw.

What did he see?
Wu Bingyun, who was ranked third in the same grade in the college, was far away from Zhuang Ziqin who didn't know how many blocks, and when Li Chou Xunsheng rushed over, in less than ten breaths, he was already crushed by the other party. Downwind, only the power to parry, no power to fight back, and even the moves at this moment have become a little messy.

The defeat is over!

Damn it, when did Zhuang Ziqin, who is so inconspicuous in the academy, become so powerful?
