The First Evolution

Chapter 421: Hot Pursuit

Chapter 421: Hot Pursuit

Fang Linyan stepped on the stone and looked near the top of the cave, and he immediately found a crack there.

The crack was actually blocked by dead leaves and straw. Fang Linyan really couldn’t help laughing in his mind that a beastkin was just an animal after all. It could only play tricks like this.

“Do you think I can’t see if it’s covered?”

“Brother, this is the depths of the cave. How would there be dead leaves and straw? It’s obviously covered purposely. Isn’t this showing that there are good things hidden here?”

With a sense of superiority of crushing the beastkin in IQ, Fang Linyan simply pulled out the straw covering the crack.

But, why is there… a puff of smoke coming out of the crack?

And it’s a yellow-green smoke?!!!

Why is this smoke so similar to that of the old weasel…

Then, Fang Linyan felt that his entire respiratory system collapsed. He fainted and fell directly from the stone stool.

As a contractor, his body was digitalized, but he still couldn’t bear the poisonous gas attack. His whole body convulsed violently. Fortunately, Rubes dragged him out.

Then Fang Linyan followed in the footsteps of Luo Yong before, laying down on the beach of the small river next to him, vomiting.

The terrible feeling was indescribable. It was like the entire respiratory system was filled with fermented excrement. It also felt like the internal organs were rotting from the inside out, and fat and white maggots were constantly wriggling …

Of course, this also had a lot to do with Fang Linyan’s mere 6 stamina.

After feeling a little better, Fang Linyan realized with grief and indignation that it was him whose IQ got crushed instead of Bei Beastkin.

After recovering for a while, Fang Linyang covered his nose and returned to the cave, then he very carefully let Rubes transform into elite mechanical warrant officer and let it take out the items.

However, there were no other traps. Rubes easily took out all the things inside. Fang Linyan took these things outside as if fleeing, so as to stay away from the cave full of nightmarish smells.

“Huh… this is the trap?”

The first thing Fang Linyan noticed was a thing that looked like a urine bag. It was this thing that spurted out an extremely exciting [Entrancing Fart], which made Fang Linyan suffer a lot.

Rubes scanned it and found that the name of this thing was unexpectedly poetic. It was called Cloud Smoke Riser.

It was actually an enchanted weapon, which could generate [Entrancing Fart] every once in a while, but unfortunately, it must inject the unique beastkin power into it.

Then Fang Linyan found a strange bone stick.

This thing seemed to be made of calf bone. After looking closely, there were many patterns and several holes on it. It looked very rough and disorderly.

However, the word “Gao” was engraved on its front.

There were 2 rows of small characters on the back. Entry Token To The Villa, No Replacement If Lost.

Fang Linyan waved it in the air, and it immediately let out a sharp whistle, which sounded irritably ear-piercing.

Next to the bone stick was an invitation card that looked like it was made of some kind of leather. There was a line of crooked and blurry writing on it.

The tone of the person who wrote the invitation was condescending. It said that the 15th of this month was their boss’ birthday, and the person/beastkin who received it must arrive on time.

Otherwise, people from the Gao Family Inn would definitely come to visit after the birthday.

The other thing was probably the Frost Orb mentioned before, but it was still an item that couldn’t be used directly. It still maintained the feature of selling to the Space at a low price, and the plot characters in this world might buy at a high price.

The last thing was actually a tiger skin, which looked majestic and full of dominance. The prompts indicated that it was the skin of a beastkin tiger.

In addition, Fang Linyan also found more than 20 taels of silver inside, which should be the currency of this world. It came from the victims of Bei Beastkin.

“Gao Family Inn…” Fang Linyan thought about the place name repeatedly.

“It seems that I can do something with this!”

Then it was necessary to start a long-distance tracking. Fang Linyan let Rubes smell the rock that Zhou Zhuo was leaning against and began to capture the blood and the unique smell of Zhou Zhuo.

Immediately in the shared vision of Rubes, the smell was visualized.

Looking around, he could see blood-colored mist everywhere, indicating that the smell of blood was everywhere in the vicinity.

However, if looking from above, there were only 2 lines formed by clusters of blood-colored mist pointing toward the distance and extending away.

One of the blood-colored mist pointed to the path of Shangshu Tomb, which was the blood-stained path left behind by the injured Zhou Zhuo who was brought here.

However, another path of blood-colored mist starts from the big rock in front of the cave and extended to the upper reaches of the small river. This was the path that the person from the Gao Family Inn, who came to exchange Zhou Zhuo, took.

“Damn, too much time wasted here. I have to hurry up.”

Fang Linyan said to himself.

Then Rubes led the way, and they quickly disappeared into the woods.

What Fang Linyan didn’t know was that there was already a group of uninvited guests next to the Shangshu Tomb where he stayed before. They were Koi, Arctic Circle and the others.

This group of people was analyzing the battle situation at that time.

In this regard, Koi and Bill were both tracking experts. The first thing Bill found was a fragment of a high-explosive grenade. He put it next to his nose and sniffed it.

“This is a typical thick-walled high-explosive grenade. The kind with 40 steel balls embedded in it. Aborigines in this world don’t have this thing. Could it be that someone is ahead of us?”

Koi half-kneeled on the ground, stretched out two fingers to measure the footprints ahead, and said faintly,

“The guy who used the grenade hardly left any traces of action here, indicating that he should be an assassin or a thief.”

“Look at this footprint. It looks a bit like a wolf’s, but to be able to make such a deep footprint in the soil with such a density, the weight of this beast is also amazing.”

“According to my database analysis, its body density is 8 times that of an adult male wolf! It is impossible for such a monster to appear in nature.”

“So, isn’t its true identity obvious? It’s a beastkin!!”

Bill nodded and glanced at Koi approvingly, then he communicated with her for a while and said.

“So, the more reasonable explanation is that the Fang Xiaoqi we are looking for came here and was attacked by beastkin.”

“At present, the beastkin species we can judge are Weasel Beastkin…”

“The air analyzer at the scene indicated that the beastkin spell released by this beastkin is comparable to a biochemical gas attack. The components remaining in the air can cause a devastating blow to the respiratory system of ordinary humans.”

“There is also an unquestionable fierce beast. Its jumping ability and pounce ability are far beyond our knowledge. Even among beastkin, it should be at the top of the food chain.”

“At this time, a scout-type contractor came here. He should have fired a grenade at Fang Xiaoqi from a long distance, trying to perform a direct kill.”

“It’s a pity that he obviously didn’t succeed. The beastkin seemed to be protecting Fang Xiaoqi’s life.”

Having said that, Bill put his hands on his chest, bowed slightly and said,

“The above is a reasonable analysis inferred based on the existing material. I will let Ms. Koi make inferences without evidence.”

Koi said coldly,

“Fang Xiaoqi seems to be under the protection of beastkin at present. There are only 2 reasons for this.”

“First, he colludes with the beastkin.”

“Second, the beastkin is currently not short of blood food, and it took him back as a food reserve.”

“Among them, the possibility of colluding with beastkin is relatively small, because it takes capital to be friends with a powerhouse. According to our investigation on Fang Xiaoqi, he is a timid and ordinary person.”

Arctic Circle smiled and said,

“So that means, we are going to snatch the beastkin’s food next?”

“No, no, we just need to kill Fang Xiaoqi.”

Having said that, a smile finally appeared in his eyes, then he looked at Koi,

“Fortunately, there is an expert in our team who is good at harvesting the enemy’s life from thousands of meters away.”

Koi seemed to be accustomed to such words. She nodded politely, then she continued to half-kneel on the ground, carefully looking for traces on the ground.

After 5 minutes, she suddenly raised her head,

“This way. Did… did they enter the Shangshu Tomb?”

***

Fang Linyan knew nothing about tracking.

Fortunately, Rubes was quite excellent in this aspect.

However, they also encountered a big trouble now, that was, the line formed by the blood-colored mist in the air turned and extended to the wide river ahead.

The smell on the river surface was obviously easier to be blown away, so the blood-colored mist on the river surface began to thin out.

Obviously, the fish beastkin took Zhou Zhuo into the boat here, and they sailed downstream.

According to Fang Linyan’s judgment, this river should be the same as the Big Pine River, and it was also the river that flowed through the fishing village of Fang Family Village, but now he was just at the lower reaches of the river.

In desperation, Fang Linyan could only run down the river. After running for a mile or two, he saw a fishing boat appearing on the river ahead.

Fang Linyan yelled loudly. Of course, the main reason was that he took out a tael of white silver in his hand. The fisherman quickly approached him.

Then Fang Linyan dragged him into the river, threw 5 taels of silver to him, and left a sentence,

“Come downstream to get your boat.”

Then Fang Linyan jumped into the boat and rode away directly.
