C10 Tracing demon beasts

"Old Xu, since you said there are so many types of demon beasts, then where did they come from? If it's just a mutation from an animal on Earth, then the probability of it happening is too high. Moreover, I've never heard about the appearance of a demon beast before, why does it feel like it just appeared all of a sudden? " Liu Zichen had a faint guess, but he felt his guess was too outrageous, so he carefully asked Old Xu, hoping he could give him an explanation.

Old Xu shook his head and said, "It's not us here. As for the specific location, I don't know." He pondered for a moment before continuing, "You guys want to track those demon beasts, so you need me. How about it, let me participate as well?"

Liu Zichen looked at Zhao Yan and saw that he was still lowering his head and not paying any attention to anything, so he made a decision himself, "Okay, I wanted to have someone who knows about demon beasts to begin with. It's great that you're here. Where should we start now?"

Old Xu sat back and leaned his head back against the chair. He murmured, "Blood-sucking demon beasts are very common among demon beasts. There are many types. I can't remember the exact details, but I need to go back and find some information."

He stood up abruptly and said excitedly, "Let's go to my place. This is just the beginning. There will be more beasts appearing later on."

With that, he walked out of the bar without bothering about Liu Zichen and Zhao Yan. Liu Zichen and Zhao Yan exchanged a glance, then hurriedly stood up and followed behind Old Xu.

Although Liu Zichen didn't know where Old Xu lived, he guessed that he should be nearby. Sure enough, he and Zhao Yan followed behind Old Xu and soon passed through a narrow alley, opening a door at the end of the alley.

Entering inside, Liu Zichen saw that the room wasn't too big, only a bedroom and a washroom. The bedroom was a mess with no bed, and a thick mattress on the floor. There were dozens of books stacked around the mattress.

When Liu Zichen heard that Old Xu was coming back to look for information, he thought he was looking for something from the dozens of books, but he didn't think that Old Xu would go straight to the wall and pull out a leather case. After opening it, he rummaged through the bottom of the leather case to find a shabby diary.

He held the diary in his hands and sat down with a solemn look on his face, and then he started flipping through the pages. Liu Zichen was very curious, and he slowly walked over and saw that the diary was very old, the paper was yellowing, and the handwriting was very messy. Moreover, there were all kinds of diagrams, some of which were strange formations, and some that looked like monsters.

"What is this? Are the things on it reliable? " Liu Zichen asked softly.

Old Xu flipped through the diary as he answered absent-mindedly, "The things Master left for me are all weird things. I've never seen them before, but I've always believed they were real."

"Here, look." Old Xu pointed to a page of the diary and said excitedly.

Upon closer inspection, it was written that "A mutated demon beast absorbs blood, and most of it is in a group. Whether it is flying type vampire demon beasts or moving on the ground, most of it lives in dark corners …"

What was written on it wasn't exactly detailed, it was probably just a simple introduction of the different types of demon beast habits and places where demon beasts gathered. Liu Zichen was a little disappointed, and after Old Xu flipped through this page, he went back and looked for other useful information.

As Liu Zichen had only heard two people mention these demon beasts before. One was the old beggar, and Liu Zichen had almost forgotten all of the things he had said. The other was Old Xu.

They had met in an unknown bar, and when they were helping to find a lost child, the two had worked together. Old Xu had the tracking ability like a wild beast, which had left a deep impression on Liu Zichen. At that time, he felt like Old Xu was a veteran or retired police officer, so when they finally found the child they had lost and celebrated in the bar, Old Xu drank a few cups and started bragging about how amazing he was.

And today, hearing Old Xu mention his master and seeing him flipping through such a shabby diary, Liu Zichen began to be interested in Old Xu's origins.

"Old Xu, what is your master doing? What does he call you? " Liu Zichen's eyes were the same as Old Xu's as he stared at the diary and casually said.

"Heh heh, my master is so powerful. He knows all about hunting methods, so of course he'll teach me everything." Old Xu casually replied, but his tone was filled with a strong sense of pride.

He raised his head and looked around the room again. Seeing all sorts of daggers and daggers, bows and crossbows, Old Xu was probably very interested in cold weapons. That longbow had been around for quite some time, so it should be an antique.

He only wanted to solve the problem of the demon beasts as soon as possible and get the money first. As for the matter of Hu Qian's promise to create a good team stock, Liu Zichen was only excited at the time. After a period of time, he carefully thought about it and felt that he should not have too much hope in this matter, or else he would be disappointed too much.

Old Xu closed the diary and said in a serious tone, "Gathering in groups, searching for food in groups, most of them moving at night. If one can avoid being attacked by the guards, the body size shouldn't be big. The gathering place is usually near some abandoned factory or underground tunnel."

When he saw what Zhao Yan was thinking, he did not know what Zhao Yan was thinking. However, the first thing that came to his mind was still the mutated monkey, so he asked, "Can we be sure of its appearance?"

"No, there are still too many types. Also, I have to go to the scene and check the photos. I want all of them. By the way, the map near the scene of the crime, including the abandoned factory and any underground facilities, must be marked." At this moment, Old Xu was in high spirits, as if he had aged a dozen or twenty years. He was brimming with energy as he instructed the work that he needed to do.

Liu Zichen glanced at Zhao Yan curiously.

"Okay, we can immediately go to the scene and investigate. We can also immediately arrange for a map to be taken care of." Zhao Yan agreed readily. He picked up the phone and went to find someone to deal with the map.

"Let's go and take a look at the scene." Old Xu stood up and walked out.

When they left, Zhao Yan came close to Liu Zichen and said in a low voice, "Old Xu is looking for a demon beast according to the method of tracking the demon beast. However, we must not only find the demon beast, but also track the dark hand that controls the demon beast behind its back."

Liu Zichen nodded in agreement. He felt that Zhao Yan's thoughts were clear, and he could distinguish between priority and urgency, unlike Old Xu, who was completely focused on killing monsters. His opinion of Zhao Yan rose even higher.

The few of them got into Zhao Yan's car. This time, Liu Zichen and Old Xu sat together in the back. Zhao Yan started the car and once again drove towards the Hu family's mansion.

They quickly returned to the Hu family's villa and entered the living room where the murder occurred. There were already people from the Hu family waiting there. They got the first-hand investigation data from the police station and the map, then handed it to Old Xu.

Old Xu was very satisfied with the efficiency of the task. He clicked his lips a few times, looked at the information on the police station, and then walked around the room to check.

As soon as Liu Zichen entered the living room, his attention was focused on the wall with the hidden door. He saw that the wall had returned to normal, and did not know if Hu Qian had found anything inside, and she had closed the door. Next time she wanted to enter, she would not draw out the array, did she need to go and open the door for them?

Zhao Yan stood motionlessly at the door while Liu Zichen's thoughts drifted very far away. From the dark room in the living room, he could tell that there was something hiding. He thought about Hu Qian's parents and felt that the magic formation that opened the door seemed more and more mysterious.

"A mutated creature. The usage array is the key to the secret room. What other secrets does the Hu family have?" You know how to study soul energy, right? " Liu Zichen suddenly realized that Hu Feng's real motive for finding him was not just to track down the culprit, but also because his innate talent allowed him to see the power of souls.

He turned to Zhao Yan and asked, "Is Hu Qian here?"

Zhao Yan shook his head and said, "Young miss has been very busy recently. There are too many things we have inherited from the corporation."

"What did Hu Qian do in the past?" How much did she get into the company business? " Liu Zichen continued to ask.

"Like the other rich family's children, she was travelling abroad to study abroad and drive a sports boat. She didn't pay much attention to the family's business and only took over in the last few days."

In fact, he believed that Hu Qian would definitely find out, whether it was through Zhao Yan or not. However, even if Hu Qian was here, he still had to ask, and he also had to ask, whether Hu Qian called him here to find the murderer of her parents or if he was here to help their group deal with some questions related to the soul.
