ch 418 - Pulling A Stunt On Uncle; A Strange Man In Black (1)
“That’s bizarre. I don’t see any cuts on here at all!” said Clan Master Qin in a deep voice after inspecting the tiger skin.
Cheng Xiao Xiao took a look around and couldn’t help but asked, “What was this?”
Everybody looked at each other and n.o.body said a word!
Old Man Ying looked like he was deep in thought so Cheng Xiao Xiao put her attention on him and asked, “Old Man Ying, have you thought of something?”
“I am not sure. I have only heard of it in the past!” said Old Man Ying with a grave look.
Soon after, the other old monsters also seemed to have thought of something and all looking more and more somber.
“Well, what is it?” asked Cheng Xiao Xiao, looking at everyone.
“Have you all heard of the city Heitu (black soil) that is just in the periphery of the country of Shuiyang?” Old Man Ying did not elaborate on that right away, but raised a question to the old monsters in front of him.
The mentioning of Heitu made everyone turned a little pale. It was obvious that everyone had heard of Heitu. Cheng Xiao Xiao had heard of the country of Shuiyang in the far East of the continent, but she had never heard of the city of Heitu.
“What kind of a place is Heitu?” Cheng Xiao Xiao figured there must be something going on with this place if just the mentioning of it could make all these old monsters turn pale.
“Miss, it is complicated and will take a while to explain. Why don’t you go back first? Me and the others will surveil the surrounding area and see if we can find anything.”
Old Man Ying looked at the tiger skin again and said to the rest, “I know it’s difficult, but it’s best for us to look around first no matter what.”
“Okay, let’s split u!”
The old monsters each picked and different direction and quickly headed out, including Old Man Ying.
Cheng Xiao Xiao understood that the best way to find the answer that she was looking for was to go home first.
She collected the tiger skin and summoned another white tiger sacred beast and have him carried Liu Danhuang on his back.
Shortly, the news of Liu Danhuang’s injury startled the entire Cheng’s. Cheng Xiao Xiao comforted his parents before she returned to her main quarter.
“Xiao Xiao, what happened?” Cheng Biyuan wasn’t looking too happy. Liu Danhuang was one of his favorite disciples. He didn’t talk much, but he was very attentive on his a.s.signments. Naturally, Cheng Biyuan was very angry that anyone could hurt one of his disciples.
The elder and Zhou Jinjiang both looked at her as well, after all, she was the one who brought him back.
Shaking her head gently, Cheng Xiao Xiao said, “I don’t know either. I sensed the call from the white tiger and rushed over there. And all I found were the severely injured Liu Danhuang and the white tiger skin.
As she spoke, she brought out the white tiger skin from her dimension ring.
The three of them immediately walked up to examine it.
“No wound at all!”
“How was someone able to suck out the flesh and bone of the white tiger mystical beast?”
“How did that happen? How was that possible?”
They looked the tiger skin up and down and couldn’t find anything unusual on it. All of their faces looking darker and darker.
This incident was too eerie. None of them had ever seen anything like that before, so n.o.body commented.
“Where’s Elder Ying and the rest?” Cheng Biyuan discovered that a few individuals have been missing.
Cheng Xiao Xiao, how had been quiet this entire time, responded, “They went to surveil and see if they might be able to find any clues!”
“Elder Ying is with them. They might be able to find out had happened,” said the elder with a deep voice.
“Let’s hope so!”
“……..”
Everybody sat in the living room and the atmosphere with grave. Quickly, three more joined them in the room.
“Xiao Xiao, did something happen?”
It was Mo Xuanzun, who spoke as soon as he entered the room. It was obvious they came as soon as they have heard the news.
n.o.body said anything before they noticed the tiger skin laying on the floor.
