Chapter three hundred and eighty first unexpected discovery(1/2)
"The road to Zhongnan Mountain should be the best mountain road, right?"
Zhao Xun couldn't help but sigh like this when he was patrolling in the mountains.
He has climbed mountains many times, and the impression given to him is that different mountains have different levels of difficulty.
Some are tall and towering, while others are low and flat.
But whether it is towering and tall or low and flat, it always gives people a sense of fear.
To put it bluntly, it makes people find it difficult to get up.
But Zhongnan Mountain didn't give him this feeling.
The height of Zhongnan Mountain is neither high nor low. The key is that it is not steep.
This point is really crucial.
The reason why many mountains seem difficult to climb is because they are indeed steep.
Steep mountains can be difficult to climb or descend.
But Zhongnan Mountain is different.
There are very few steep mountain roads in Zhongnan Mountain, and most of them are very gentle.
If this continues, it will basically not give people a huge sense of pressure.
Zhao Xun was very relaxed during the mountain patrol.
Although there is a powerful enemy now, most of these guys still don't dare to attack directly if the mountain leader is there.
Even if I lend it to them, I wouldn't dare to do so!
However, daily inspection work still needs to be done.
This is mainly to prevent some omissions.
At first, Zhao Xun followed Sixth Senior Brother Lu Guangdou to inspect mainly the academy, and walked along the academy's cultural context.
As a result, what they want to patrol now is the entire Zhongnan Mountain.
The workload is not small, and the pressure is not small either.
However, Zhao Xun is still very confident.
After all, Zhongnan Mountain can be considered their home ground and their territory.
On your own territory, there is nothing to fear.
"Well, the next thing to do is to check for leaks and fill in the defects as much as possible. It is best if there are no defects. If there are any defects, just fill them up."
Zhao Xun said minding his own business.
Because the area of Zhongnan Mountain is really too large, everyone in the academy acted separately.
Each person is responsible for a small area and does not belong to each other or interfere with each other.
Zhao Xun's attitude is to spend the least time inspecting the most areas.
He is a man who wants to be the most efficient man in the academy, so he must show his full strength in this aspect.
"Hmm, what's the sound?"
While walking on the mountain trail, Zhao Xun suddenly heard a strange noise and instinctively moved closer to the source of the sound.
It was not unusual for him to hear strange noises.
Zhongnan Mountain is full of wild animals.
It was normal for these beasts to make noises, so for Zhao Xun, as long as he could confirm that the noises were from the beasts in Zhongnan Mountain, there was nothing to worry about.
There are quite a few bushes ahead, and only when you get closer can you see clearly what is going on.
"hiss"
When Zhao Xun took a closer look, he was really shocked.
It turns out there is a body hidden in the bushes!
Judging from the looks of it, this body must have been killed not long ago, because it has not decomposed yet!
In such weather, corpses would quickly decompose if exposed to the wild.
Zhongnan Mountain has always been a peaceful place, with few homicides.
Zhao Xun instinctively felt that this matter was unusual, so he immediately marked the location, and then went back to discuss it with his senior brothers and sisters.
Of course he can also carry this body back.
But Zhao Xun instinctively rejected it because he thought this move was a bit strange.
It would be more reliable to go back to the academy to call people and call all the senior brothers and sisters back.
However, Zhao Xun ran all the way back to the academy in a hurry, already out of breath from exhaustion.
Third senior brother Long Qingquan was drinking tea by himself. Seeing junior brother Zhao Xun's appearance, he immediately asked with concern: "Hey, junior brother, what's wrong with you? People who don't know may think you have an accident."
"Who says it's not the case? Junior brother, junior brother, why are you so anxious? Even if the sky falls, there will be mountains to hold it up. Don't worry."
"I, I am water"
Zhao Xun thought that he was going to die of thirst. But all the senior brothers were still here talking about each other, which really made people speechless.
"I'm really going to die of thirst, I'm going to die of thirst"
"Quick, bring a bowl of water to my junior brother."
Seeing this situation, Third Senior Brother Long Qingquan quickly ordered someone to prepare a bowl of water for Zhao Xun.
Water is not a very delicious drink, but in Zhao Xun's eyes at this moment, it is simply a life-saving nectar.
After drinking a bowl of water, Zhao Xun felt completely comfortable.
If one bowl is not enough, have another bowl; if two bowls are not enough, have a third bowl.
After three bowls, Zhao Xun was full.
He wiped the corners of his mouth with satisfaction and said solemnly: "I just found a body in a bush during my patrol in the mountains. Judging from the condition of the body, it must have been dead recently. I think this matter is very serious.
I felt strange, so I quickly returned to the academy, hoping that all the senior brothers and sisters could come with me to see what happened."
"Junior brother, you mean, there is a corpse nearby?"
"Um"
Zhao Xun nodded and said: "To be specific, I think it is probably related to the Corruptors. Although there is no conclusive evidence to prove that it was them. But there are people with such murderous intentions around here, except
I really can’t think of anyone else among them.”
"Well"
Long Qingquan fell into deep thought for a while.
What junior brother Zhao Xun said is quite reasonable. The Corruptor Alliance probably hasn't made any big noise for a long time since its last setback.
But that doesn't mean they don't want to cause trouble.
Because for them, time is the most precious thing.
If they could open the academy's restrictions earlier and invade, they would be able to break through the academy's defense system earlier.
If this continues, not only will their morale collapse, but Satan will definitely not be able to accept it either.
So there's really no point in dragging it out.
The best way is to solve it quickly.
But they definitely can't attack immediately. After all, they suffered a loss not long ago, and testing is undoubtedly the best option now.
If the situation cannot be broken after testing, that would be another matter.
But you still have to give it a try anyway.
"Junior brother, where is the body? Quickly take us to see it."
Sixth senior brother Lu Guangdou realized the seriousness of this problem.
For everyone in the academy, the top priority right now is to follow Zhao Xun to find the body and identify it to see how this person was killed.
The Corruptor Alliance's methods of killing are relatively fixed, and the traces are obvious.
If this person was really killed by them, everyone in the academy should be able to easily identify it from the traces on the body.
"Okay, I have marked the area near the body before, and I should be able to lead you to it easily. If you have no objections, please come with me."
Zhao Xun's tracking skills are quite excellent, especially if they have been marked in advance.
Zhao Xun walked along the mountain road at a very fast speed.
Of course, Zhao Xun has always been vigilant.
If something suddenly pops up from the jungle in the mountains at this time, Zhao Xun still has the power to fight.
After all, he is now a third-level cultivator. Although this level of cultivation is somewhat unsatisfactory in the academy, it is not a big problem for self-protection.
