Hey!Long Jun, please wait a moment

"What?" Ao Yi gasped, stunned on the spot, and asked incredulously, "The three priests brought here are all dead?"

"Where are the guards around? Are they all right?" Rong Ge asked anxiously. His body was covered with stinky mud, but he had no time to take care of it, and his mind was full of thoughts of "something went wrong".

Xiao You shook his head, with a livid face: "The brothers above clearly stated that the three priests died. Let's go, let's go back and have a look."

"That's unreasonable! The three priests are all old people, and they have no power to resist. Why don't they come to me if they have the ability?!" Rong Ge was furious and gritted his teeth viciously.

"Wait!" Ao Yi forced himself to calm down quickly, and said, "I need to rest after a busy morning. It is not suitable to stay here for a long time. Let's let everyone return to Taniguchi according to the original plan, and pick a few experienced veterans to minimize the impact of the accident. Press it down as much as possible, lest the brothers panic and get confused." After a pause, he added:

"Also, call my Brother Wang and Brother Kang, and let's go to see the scene together. Priest Hong belongs to the Dragon Clan of the East China Sea."

Xiao You stopped, then smiled wryly: "Fortunately, you are sober." He calmed down from his anger, and began to order and make arrangements in an orderly manner, and then they led a small group of elite confidants to the highland wooden house to investigate the poor priest cause of death.

The other party is so ruthless and shrewd!

Before this, Ao Yi racked his brains to consider many aspects, and then based on the most possible speculation, he strictly protected this one and secretly protected that one—but did not specially protect the priests!It's chilling to think about it now:

No matter how brave the orcs are, they cannot be completely fearless. After all, no one wants to die, and everyone has relatives and friends.Bringing three priests along this time is of great significance to the orcs performing the mission. Even if they are not injured, it is not necessary, just thinking about it is a great comfort.

——Now that all three priests are dead, once it spreads, it can seriously affect every orc.

Looking at his partner who couldn't hide his impatience and self-blame and frustration, Ao Xuan comforted him:

"We have a large number of people. The ground and the sky are everywhere in the Crocodile Valley. The opponent can skillfully avoid all the guard posts and air patrols to assassinate the priest. It should not be an outsider, so it is hard to guard against."

Not an outsider? !

Ao Yi stopped immediately, poked in place, even his eyeballs were fixed, thinking quickly.

"It's okay, it's right for everyone to evacuate from the Crocodile Valley first. The situation is unknown now, and we just stay here to wait. Why don't we go outside, where there is no poisonous mire gas or crocodile beasts?" Ao Xuan could already read his partner's eyes, He hurriedly said a few more words of comfort, forgot to avoid suspicion for a moment, reached out and gently held the other person's shoulder and brought him forward.

"He's right." Rong Ge actually affirmed Ao Xuan in public, and said angrily and helplessly: "If you stay here, if there is a conflict with the other party, you may drown a few of them if you fall into the quagmire!"

Xiao You doesn't care about a certain dragon "touching" his prince. He is the patriarch, and priests in the orc world are respected and special beings no matter which tribe they belong to. Xiao You must give a reasonable justification for the death of the priest in the clan. explain.

"Come on, I'll take you! Follow closely!" After walking to a slightly open place, Xiao You instantly transformed into eagle wings, and at the same time ordered the eagles to take their partners and fly to the highland in the middle of the valley.

call!Fortunately, our partner has grown wings.

Rong Ge leaned over on the eagle's back. At this time, he was no longer in the mood to appreciate the land scenery and experience the thrill of flying. Instead, he opened his eyes wide and tried his best to look down and observe the crocodile valley, trying to find the perpetrator.

Needless to say, the moment Rong Ge closed and opened his eyes, he seemed to see a brown shadow flashing past among the lush shrubs and humus vines in a southeast corner!Rong Ge subconsciously called out:

"Hey?"

Ao Yi turned around and asked, "What's wrong?"

But when Rong Ge concentrated on watching, the suspected figure disappeared, but a thick crocodile raised its tail, splashed a piece of brown mud, and flew away out of sight after two or three breaths.

"It's nothing." Rong Ge shook his head, thinking maybe his eyes were dazzled.

Xiao You flew extremely fast, and the wind whistling like a knife made people unable to open their eyes, but everyone was anxious, wishing to appear in front of the highland wooden house in an instant.

Not long after, they landed on the open space with anger and anxiety. The orcs who were in charge of protecting the priests rushed up to meet them. They all turned pale and ashamed. One of the eagles took the initiative to explain, speaking quickly and aggrieved. :

"Patriarch, I was fine all morning, but just after we heard the whistle to gather and return to the valley entrance, we helped the three priests pack up the medicine boxes and proposed to prepare to transform first. After we yelled a few times and felt that something was wrong and rushed in, they, they died, what a surprise! But it is indeed our negligence of duty, you punish it!"

After hearing this, Ao Yi was speechless for a while, sighed and said, "Go ahead and have a look. The other party is really tricky, and they are in the dark, so they are hard to guard against." After finishing speaking, he took Ao Xuanrongge and his confidants to the tree first. House inspection... This is actually respect and trust for Xiao You.

Because the guards protecting the priests are all eagles, and only eagles have wings and can bring people in. This is a very natural and reasonable arrangement.

But now something is wrong...

"You guys go in first, I'll be right away." Xiao You couldn't help but smiled wryly, and then fixedly examined the four clansmen for a long time.

"I entrusted you with the safety of the three priests, but they all died behind you." Xiao You said slowly in pain, his silver-gray eyes flashed with a cold light of scrutiny and estimation, scanning back and forth.

——Before the murderer was caught, many people were suspected, especially the guards of the wooden house.

There are orcs of our own side everywhere in the sky and on the ground. Could the murderer appear and disappear out of thin air?

Mu Yuan immediately knelt down on one knee, but did not bow his head. With raging anger in his eyes, he begged loudly: "Patriarch, I have betrayed your trust. I am guilty, but before I receive the punishment, please allow me to catch the murderer first. I, I cannot tolerate the murderer getting away with ease!"

"Okay, very good, I'm very happy that you have such an idea." Xiao You calmly nodded and sighed inwardly, "I can agree, but before that, Akashi!"

"exist!"

"Take them down and ask them carefully." Xiao You waved his hand, "Brothers, don't let me down again, otherwise...you can only deal with it according to the clan rules."

"Yes!" Mu Yuan replied heavily, got up and followed Akashi obediently and left - the four Yingmen who protected the priests of the three clans would have to accept strict professional interrogation to prove that what they said was true.

Xiao You pondered on the spot for a moment, and walked slowly around the tree house several times, mobilizing the sensory insight of the whole body to investigate, but a group of highly capable natural hunters walked carpet-like several times, but found nothing!

Simply, simply...

Xiao You's face was ashen. Although he was young, he had gone through many difficulties and obstacles to become the patriarch. He was extremely outstanding. The death of the three priests was like slapping him three times in public.

"Hey, come in quickly!" Rong Ge's head poked out of the window of the wooden house, and greeted loudly.

Xiao You raised his head: "Did you find anything?" As he said that, he climbed up the hanging pillars and flew up, followed by the rest of the Eagles. They were agile and flexible, worthy of being birds of prey.

They stood in the room, expecting to see blood spattered three feet, but they didn't: the three priests fell to the ground, their heads tilted abnormally, no blood was seen on their bodies, and the room was filled with a gloomy and dead air.

Ao Yi and Ao Xuan squatted, carefully inspecting the body of the deceased, Ao Yi got up and sighed, regretting:

"One blow is fatal. The three priests all died of broken necks and died instantly."

Ao Xuan added: "If what Mu Yuan and others said is true, then there should be more than one perpetrator, otherwise the priest will have a chance to call for help."

"The footprints on the scene are too messy. Our sea people are not good at this. Take a look!" Rong Ge urged, and then said after a pause: "I have identified the smell of the scene. In addition to the three priests, there are four people including Mu Yuan. Man, um, and then, didn't detect the smell of the strange orc."

Xiao You, who was analyzing the scene, looked up in surprise: "No more? No scent of the murderer?"

Ao Yi looked dignified: "The sea deer tribe has a very sensitive sense of smell. You are a Yingman. What do you think?"

The Ying people didn't believe in evil, but after working for a while, they had to agree: there was indeed no smell of strange orcs left at the scene.

Ao Xuan silently walked around the house a few times, and suddenly said to Rong Ge: "Rong Ge, can you go out for a while?"

"Why?" Rong Ge, who was stretching out his hand to stroke the neck bone of the deceased and estimate the angle of the murderer's force, raised his head.

Ao Xuan frowned, and said hesitantly: "I always feel that there is a faint smell of crocodile blood in this room."

Rong Ge sniffed his clothes subconsciously: "I accidentally splashed a few drops of blood when I used the bone knife in the morning, and I also smelled the smell of crocodile blood. I thought it was... OK! I'll go out right away!" Rong Ge jumped up, Without saying a word, he left quickly.

Ao Yi was worried, and hurriedly said: "Rongping and Rong'an should go too, no one can be alone in this critical period."

"Yes!" Rong Ping and Rong An followed out.

The rest of the orcs stood quietly, as if in a trance, concentrating on identifying the smell of crocodile blood in the room. After a long while, they all stood in front of the window sill

——The simple wooden house on stilts is completely in the rough and bold style of the five big and three rough orcs. The materials are of different thicknesses, the workmanship is rough, and the window sills are covered with uneven gaps.

Ao Xuan squatted down, Xiao You also bent down, following the unusually weak smell, the two of them groped carefully with all four hands, after a while, Ao Xuan raised his right hand, and the pulp of his index finger was stained red with blood.

"Hey, be careful! It's poisonous!" Ao Yi immediately tore off a piece of his shirt to wipe off the blood.

The orcs took turns holding the rags and commenting over and over again.

"It's not from Rong Ge's clothes." Xiao You said firmly, "It's the blood of another crocodile!"

Ao Yi had to remind: "But crocodiles can only crawl. They are so big, how can they avoid the guards and climb up? Moreover, the three priests all died of broken necks and left fingerprints, which are clearly human. hand."

What happened next, no one dared to say, including the Eagles.

Xiao You was dumbfounded, and promised in a shy voice: "As for the Muyuan four, I will personally examine them strictly when I get back."

"Just to find out the truth, I—" Before Ao Yi finished speaking, Xiao You quickly cut off: "I know! Let's go back first and make a long-term plan."

At this time, Rong Ge outside couldn't wait any longer, and shouted: "Are you ready? Can I go in?"

Ao Yi and his party walked out, carrying the priest's body, with a solemn expression, Xiao You briefly told Rong Ge what he had just discovered.

"What? The blood of another crocodile?" Rong Ge was surprised and confused, and murmured, "But how did that reptile get up there?"

No one can answer him, because everyone can't figure it out.

Just as they were about to return to Taniguchi, Ao Yi, who had been in a state of contemplation, suddenly came back to his senses, looked up at the sky anxiously, and asked in surprise:

"Oops! Brother Wang and Brother Kang, why haven't they arrived yet? Didn't they just come over to watch the scene?"
