When the first ray of morning light fell on the earth, the contestants began to appear in every corner of the Divine Palm Valley.
After Ren Tianxing left the place of healing, he quietly sneaked into the depths of the jungle.
Along the way, the fresh air made him feel relaxed and happy, and the morning dew on the leaf tips inadvertently wet the short hair on his forehead, making him feel more awake.
At this time, a gust of morning wind blew by, bringing with it a slight chill.
"Hey! This is...?"
Ren Tianxing's expression froze slightly, and he suddenly stopped and turned his head to look in the direction where the morning wind was blowing.
"It smells like blood!"
It turned out that the morning breeze blew by just now, allowing him to smell a faint smell of blood, hidden in the wind.
"Yes! It smells like blood!"
Ren Tianxing sniffed the air in that direction again and smelled the faint smell of blood again.
At that moment, he narrowed his eyes and started thinking.
"I didn't hear any movement from that direction, but I could smell the smell of blood. This means that there is no one in that place. There are only traces of blood and the like. This also means that there should be no danger there. It's better to go and take a look.
look!"
Thinking of this, he flashed his figure and dived in the direction where the smell of blood was coming from.
In fact, the place where the smell of blood came from was not very close, but Ren Tianxing's sense of smell was very developed, which was beyond the reach of ordinary warriors, and even the sense of smell of many ferocious beasts was not as good as his.
It was precisely because of this that Ren Tianxing was able to quickly catch the smell of blood lurking in the air.
However, it was said that Ren Tianxing followed the direction where the smell of blood came from and lurked, and not long after, he arrived at the scene of the incident.
I saw that the scene was an open space in the jungle, but there were three corpses of contestants lying quietly on the open space, and the bloody smell was emanating from these three corpses.
After taking a closer look at the corpse on the ground, Ren Tianxing looked at the surrounding environment again, and a trace of strangeness flashed across his eyes.
"There are no signs of fierce fighting around, and the wounds of these three people were all fatal with one sword. It seems that the person who killed the three of them was a master. Eh! That's not right!"
After saying this to himself, Ren Tianxing suddenly discovered something and quickly searched the three corpses.
After a while, he found more than 2,000 gold coins and a bronze medal from the three corpses.
"It's strange! After the death of these three people, their belongings were not touched at all. Even the bronze medal was not taken away? What is going on? Could it be that the master who killed the three of them did not do it for
To snatch the token, just to kill people?"
This thought flashed across his mind, and a trace of horror flashed across Ren Tianxing's eyes.
After a long while, he took a deep breath and said: "Maybe I was too worried, or maybe the master who killed the three of them didn't have time to collect their things because of the emergency situation!"
Thinking of this, President Ren Tian took a breath, but the doubts in his eyes were not gone.
The next moment, his figure flashed and disappeared into the jungle again.
But not long after sneaking into the jungle, his super strong sense of smell picked up the smell of blood again.
Ren Tianxing couldn't help but frown slightly and followed the smell of blood again.
After half a cup of tea, Ren Tianxing found another corpse under an old tree.
"How could it be him?"
After seeing the face of the corpse clearly, Ren Tianxing couldn't help but show surprise on his face.
I saw that the dead man was a young man with thick eyebrows and big eyes.
Ren Tianxing knew this person well.
Because this young man is a descendant of the Lin family, a small family in Baiyan City, and his name is Lin Dong.
The Lin family and the Ren family have always been on good terms, and can be regarded as a vassal family of the Ren family.
And this Lin Dong is the number one genius among the three generations of Lin family. He is only 21 years old and is already an attribute warrior in the early stage of the fifth level. He is considered a master among the younger generation in Baiyan City and is somewhat famous.
"This Lin Dong is an attribute warrior in the early stage of the fifth level. Even Ren Yunxiao and Ren Tianyi are no match for him. I didn't expect him to die here. Looking at him, there is only a wound on his throat, and there are no signs of a fight at the scene. It seems that
He was killed instantly with one unexpected move."
Thinking of this, Ren Tianxing couldn't help but take a deep breath, and a trace of fear flashed in his eyes.
The attribute warriors at the early stage of the fifth level are also known as the mid-level warriors. It is only a matter of time for them to break through to the mid-level of the fifth level, and their strength is much better than the ordinary early stage fifth-level warriors.
And those who can instantly kill a fifth-level early-level attribute warrior with one move must have at least reached the level of an early-sixth level warrior.
In other words, the person who killed Lin Dong was probably a strong man above the early stage of the sixth level.
At that moment, Ren Tianxing pondered for a while, then stepped forward to carefully inspect Lin Dong's body, and found more than 10,000 gold coins and a bronze medal from Lin Dong's body.
"It's strange! Lin Dong's gold coins and bronze medals were not taken away by anyone. Could it be that the person who killed him only wanted to kill people and not for these things at all?"
Thinking of this, Ren Tianxing couldn't help but take another deep breath.
"It seems that things are more complicated than I thought!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Ren Tianxing stepped away and left the place.
But after a meal, he found another murder scene.
In this way, Ren Tianxing walked through the jungle for a long time. With his superhuman sense of smell, he discovered eleven murder scenes in succession.
At those murder scenes, except for three or four corpses that had been turned over, others had not been touched. Ren Tianxing also found more than 20,000 gold coins and four bronze medals on those corpses.
In addition to the more than 10,000 gold coins he got from Ren Tianyi and the five others, as well as the bronze medals he got from hunting ferocious beasts, he now has 40,000 gold coins and five bronze medals. It can be said that he has gained a lot.
But such a gain did not make him feel better.
Among the dead, he found that most of them were killed instantly by a single blow, while only a few died tragically after fierce battles or were killed by ferocious beasts.
Among the dead who were instantly killed by someone, he also saw the corpses of several children of the Ren family.
These made him vaguely feel that there was a big conspiracy hidden behind this animal hunting conference.
At this moment, in a corner of the jungle.
Ren Tianxing stood on the branch of a tall locust tree, looking at the vast jungle around him with a thoughtful look on his face.
After a long time, he said to himself: "A total of twenty-nine people were killed in one blow, and the items on their bodies were not touched. In other words, there is a killer lurking in this valley, and his purpose is to massacre the contestants.
, rather than competing for points. Look at the fatal wounds on the dead, including sword wounds, knife wounds, and gunshot wounds. This shows that there should be more than one killer. And those killers can kill Lin Dong in one move, which shows that they are at least as strong as
There are six levels above the early stage. In other words, there should be a group of killers with strength above the sixth level hidden in this valley."
When he thought of this, Ren Tianxing couldn't help but take a breath of air.
"It seems that there is really a big conspiracy hidden behind this beast hunting conference! But who arranged this conspiracy? Is it the city lord Bai Wending? He organized this beast hunting conference, and the hunter
He also arranged the location of the beast, and he is the most suspicious, and he is the only one who can unknowingly arrange a group of killers above the sixth level and above in advance."
Thinking of this, Ren Tianxing suddenly remembered the message Wei Yuanji gave him before the game. From Wei Yuanji's tone at that time, it seemed that he had already known that there was danger in the valley.
At that moment, he thought: "Wei Yuanji is the guard commander of the City Lord's Mansion. If this conspiracy is really arranged by Bai Wending, he will know about it in nine out of ten, so he can know about the beast hunting conference in advance.
It’s not surprising that there is danger! From this point of view, the mastermind behind this conspiracy is really Bai Wending.”
"But there's one thing I can't figure out! Bai Wending is the city lord of Baiyan City. Is he trying so hard to arrange such a competition just to let those killers massacre the young warriors in his city? Isn't he destroying the Great Wall by doing this? After all, he
He is the city lord of this city. If he really kills all the young warriors participating in the beast hunting conference this time, it will be a great loss to Baiyan City. In the next few decades, Baiyan City will definitely decline. This should not be
What he wanted to see. Logically speaking, he should not have any intention of killing all the contestants. But from what I can see, the identities of the deceased include children of our Ren family, children of various small and medium-sized families, and some casual cultivators. It seems that
Those killers kill everyone they see! Hey! No, I didn’t see the bodies of the children of the Li family and the Chen family!"
Thinking of this, Ren Tianxing's face immediately showed a look of horror.
After a long time, he sighed and said: "It seems that the mastermind behind this conspiracy is not Bai Wending alone, but the Li family and the Chen family are also the masterminds. The three parties have united to do this, probably to deal with our Ren family.
Only in this way can we explain why there are no children of the Chen family and the Li family among those who died. Only in this way can we explain why the killers did not spare even the children of small and medium-sized families, and even casual cultivators.
Because they want to cover it up, and they don’t want us Ren family members to notice that this is a trap set up against our Ren family. After all, our Ren family is the head of the three major families, whether it is the City Lord’s Mansion, the Chen family, or the Li family, no one can come here.
As a last resort, you will not openly fall out with our Ren family easily."
"However, I still have a little doubt. Since Bai Wending and the Chen family and the Li family have joined forces to deal with our Ren family, they should deal with the patriarch and the three elders first. After all, the strength of a family depends on the ninth level.
The number of warriors. But they didn’t deal with the clan leader and the three elders, nor did they deal with the eighth-level masters in the family, but instead dealt with us juniors. Why is this?"
"One more thing, our Ren family has become the head of the three major families in Baiyan City. It has not happened overnight. Why did the three parties not take action against our Ren family before, but now they are taking action against our Ren family? Could it be that something happened suddenly recently?
They have to decide to take action against our Ren family, and they will take action against our juniors first. If so, what will happen?"
Thinking of this, an idea suddenly appeared in Ren Tianxing's mind. He raised his head suddenly and said, "Is it for Ren Tianjun? Yes! That should be it. Ren Tianjun's mental power was only three times that of an ordinary person more than two months ago. But this
Not long after, Bai Wending held such a meeting. It was clear that he and the Chen family and the Li family were eager to get rid of Ren Tianjun, and the massacre of other Ren family children should be incidental. Then Bai Wending and the Chen family and the Li family
, not only wanted to get rid of Ren Tianjun, a thorn in the side, but also killed all the other children of the Ren family, just to take this opportunity to weaken the vitality of the Ren family."
"It's really unbelievable! A little Ren Tianjun actually made Bai Wending and the Chen family and the Li family afraid like this. Come to think of it, Ren Tianjun is nothing now, but Ren Tianjun's mental power is three times that of ordinary people, and it is
The number one genius among the younger generation in Baiyan City, the possibility of becoming a spiritual master in the future is not small! Although the spiritual master is a deviant swordsman and is not as strong as the orthodox ethereal masters, he can still be regarded as a warrior in the ethereal stage after all.
The strength of a virtual spirit master is very terrifying, and it is definitely not something that a warrior below the tenth level of Qi Condensation can imagine. If our Ren family really has a spirit master in a few decades, how can there be one in White Rock City?
Where will the Chen family and the Li family stay? I'm afraid that the city lord's palace will become a vassal of our Ren family. This is definitely not what Bai Wending and the Chen family and the Li family want to see. Thinking of this, they want to get rid of
It’s not surprising that Ren Tianjun was replaced.”
Thinking of this, Ren Tianxing's face showed a look of sudden enlightenment. He finally figured out everything here.
But then, he whispered to himself: "Whether Ren Tianjun is dead or alive, what does it have to do with me? This hunting conference is obviously a big trap. I'd better listen to Wei Yuanji and find a place to hide first.
Come out after the game is over! After all, with my strength, if I really encounter those killers, I won’t have much ability to protect myself."
With this in mind, Ren Tianxing was about to turn around and leave.
But at this moment, something that the clan leader Ren Jianye had said to him suddenly flashed through his mind, and a look of extreme hesitation suddenly appeared on his face.
After a long while, he sighed deeply: "Hey! Forget it, after all, I am still a descendant of the Ren family, and the blood of the Ren family flows in my body. I don't care whether Ren Tianjun is dead or alive. But I
I can't just watch the other children of the Ren family die here. But what should I do to rescue the other children of the Ren family? At present, it seems that the fastest way is to get out of the valley quickly and inform the patriarch that a killer has been mixed in here, so that
He forced Bai Wending to immediately stop this animal hunting conference."
"But in this way, I will directly offend Bai Wending, as well as the Chen family and the Li family, and my life will definitely be difficult in the future. Besides, those killers are not stupid either. They must have planted secret agents at the exit of the inner valley.
Make a pile to prevent some people who have discovered clues from leaving the valley to report the news. If I go out of the valley like this, I will definitely be ambushed by the hidden stake, and I will definitely never return, so the method of leaving the valley to report the news will not work!"
Thinking of this, Ren Tianxing couldn't help but frown deeply and began to think deeply.
But after thinking for a moment, an idea flashed in his mind, and he seemed to have thought of a way, and a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
"It seems that this is the only way to do it. This method should be effective, but I have to continue taking risks in this valley. However, although this beast hunting conference is a big trap, the Kong Ming Dan as the bait is genuine.
For the sake of Nakong Mingdan and to save the children of the Ren family, it is worth taking the risk here!"
Thinking of this, Ren Tianxing smiled slightly and disappeared into the jungle...
