Chapter 59 Perseverance leads to discovery
Ding Jingtang clenched his sword tightly and stayed in place without moving. The battle on the scene no longer required him to take action. With rich combat experience, he knew that continuing to hide in the dark was the best choice.
Not everyone has strong sensory abilities like Lin Changqing and several of his pets.
In a normal battle between two sides, it is rare for one side to have an absolute advantage in battlefield intelligence.
Ding Jingtang didn't know whether there were other people following these people and zombies who suddenly appeared, so he chose to continue to lurk in the dark as a back-up.
What Ding Jingtang didn't know, Lin Changqing knew that there were only two living people in the nearby area, and one of them had been killed and the other seriously injured by him.
The person bitten by Xiaoqing was not dead yet. Lin Changqing kept him and planned to hand it over to Ding Jingtang to see if he could ask for anything.
Two mysterious visitors, one dead and the other injured, the zombies and ghosts they controlled were all controlled by the little bell.
Except for the slight groan of pain from the severely injured person, everything became quiet again.
Xiaolingdang communicated with Lin Changqing from his consciousness and asked him to help open the small jars on the dead person.
Lin Changqing first walked to a tree, put away the [flying knife] inserted in the tree trunk that was not stained by blood, then took out a glove from his body and put it on his right hand, and touched the dead man's body with his right hand.
Once again, everything was searched out.
Lin Changqing took a look and found nothing useful except for some jars and jars, not even a single piece of broken silver.
Lin Changqing stayed far away from the pots and jars, and used the [bamboo stick] in his hand to lift the lids of the pots and jars one by one, and a few more ghosts came out, which were caught by the little bell.
Lin Changqing asked Xiaohu to walk around in the surrounding woods and then said to Ding Jingtang, who was still lurking: "Inspector Ding, you can come out now, there is no one else around!"
Ding Jingtang came out of the darkness and sighed: "Lin's inspection methods are indeed extraordinary!"
"If you choose to do it here, will your spirit dog be able to find their hiding place?"
Lin Changqing responded: "Not bad!"
"Inspector Ding, you'd better interrogate this person first and see if you can gain anything!"
Lin Changqing pointed to the corpse-controlling person who was seriously injured by Xiaoqing's bite and stepped under his feet.
"Okay!"
Ding Jingtang came to the man's side, picked up the man's head with the scabbard in his hand and took a look. He was an ordinary-looking young man.
At such a young age, he has the strength to practice Qi and can control zombies and evil spirits. The origins of these people must be extraordinary.
"Answer my question and I will make your death a pleasant one!"
"Otherwise, I will let you experience the interrogation methods and let you know what life is worse than death!"
When Ding Jingtang stood in front of the enemy, his demeanor changed a lot and he became a formidable inspection officer.
"Who are you?"
Ding Jingtang didn't care whether the person responded or not, so he asked directly.
The man lowered his head and remained silent.
Ding Jingtang waited for a moment, then lowered his body and tapped the man a few times.
"Ah...! Uh...!"
An uncontrollable groan of pain came from that person's mouth.
Suddenly, blood flowed out of the man's seven orifices, and the man's expression suddenly became dementia.
"Is your mouth poisonous?"
"It doesn't look like it, it should be that the soul is damaged!"
Ding Jingtang didn't care that the subject of the interrogation had become like this. He knew very well that such a person would not be able to ask anything, and there were so many hidden methods that it was difficult to guard against them.
"That's it?" Lin Changqing thought that the government would have some magical interrogation methods, and he wanted to see them.
In fact, if Ding Jingtang is not around, Lin Changqing and Xiao Lingdang might be able to ask something out by using their [soul-suppressing (soul-catching)] talent.
However, he is not prepared to expose such methods to others.
"Master, these people should have the soul marks of others in their souls!"
"The interrogation just now triggered the mark of the soul. This person's soul has been severely damaged and he has lost his mind!"
Xiaolingdang said to Lin Changqing through conscious communication.
Lin Changqing signaled to Xiaoqing, and Xiaoqing stepped on the mentally retarded man's neck and ended his life.
"These people are no different from dead soldiers. People like them who raise ghosts and control corpses have basically had their souls tampered with, and they can't find anything out."
"Fortunately, we also have a tracking dog here!"
Ding Jingtang explained to Lin Changqing.
"That's it! It seems that all your efforts were in vain!"
"Inspection Ding, should we go tracking now or wait until dawn?"
Lin Changqing asked again.
"If these two people don't go back, they may alert those people and change their positions!"
"Let's explore the road first, find out the situation, and then decide on the follow-up plan!"
"If you want to keep these zombies, put them here first and then take them over when you get started!"
Ding Jingtang responded.
Perhaps due to the influence of the battle just now, and because there were only two people present, Ding Jingtang stopped being polite to Lin Changqing and directly expressed his thoughts.
"Then let's go!"
Ding Jingtang's ideas coincide with Lin Changqing's.
Now it's Xiaohu's turn to show his powerful talent. It can accurately track the target based on an extremely weak breath.
This kind of ability cannot be achieved even by Shulings who are much more powerful than it.
The Shuling's mental power is fully activated, and it can carefully sense various traces and find the target, but doing so is also very laborious for it.
For the little tiger, this kind of tracking only requires a sniff.
Xiaohu collected the auras of the two people and led Lin Changqing and Ding Jingtang all the way deep into the forest. After going around and around, they had entered the depths of Nanshan, a very long distance away from the village.
After leaving the area around the village, there were more and more wild beasts, snakes and insects in the mountains and forests. It was only thanks to the intimidation of the bloodline of the little green monster that a lot of trouble was avoided.
Ding Jingtang is indeed a bold man, with a lot of hard work, and has been following Lin Changqing without saying a word.
"Inspector Ding, do you want to continue tracking?"
Lin Changqing stopped and asked Ding Jingtang softly.
From their current location, no matter what signal they send, the soldiers staying in the village will not be able to receive it.
"Track another distance and see if the target position is too deep into Nanshan, we will go back first!"
Ding Jingtang still doesn’t want to give up.
If we could really track down the lair of the person behind the creation and spread of corpse poison, that would be a great achievement!
Such great achievements are very important to both Lin Changqing and Ding Jingtang.
Lin Changqing felt Ding Jingtang's persistence and asked Xiaohu to continue to lead the way.
