Chapter 506: Chapter 359: Daoist Tracking Technique! (Please subscribe!)
After the last werewolf incident in Wu City, the Wu City branch had been continuously investigating the matter.
They actually managed to find some clues.
For example, the werewolf they captured and killed back then was not the origin, but like Wan Qian, a human who had been “infected” and assimilated.
The real origin should be the werewolf that bit “Ji Mingrui” back then.
Later, Ji Mingrui bit Wan Qian’s arm, causing her to be infected with the “werewolf virus” as well.
However, that guy was just too good at hiding and the Wu City branch hadn’t been able to find any trace of him. They originally thought that he had left Wu City, but they didn’t expect him to appear again!
Wan Qian’s disappearance probably had something to do with him!
Upon hearing this, Xu Yang immediately stood up and said, “Director Feng, where is the werewolf now?”
Feng Zhaoqing said, “According to the reports from below, an hour ago, a monster with a wolf head and a human body attacked a village. Exact damages are still being investigated, and our people are on their way there!”
“I understand.”
Xu Yang waved his hand, and a lucky cloud flew to the floor-to-ceiling window outside the office.
He passed through the window and landed on the auspicious cloud.
The next moment, the auspicious cloud soared into the sky and disappeared from Feng Zhaoqing’s sight in an instant.
……
Wolfskin Ridge Village belongs to Lingzhou City next to Wu City.
It is a village under the jurisdiction of Haojiaqiao County in Lingzhou.
Xu Yang had come here with his grandfather to do “funeral arrangements” when he was a kid. His impression of this place was that it was windy and sandy.
Wolfskin Ridge Village is near the Long Flow River scenic area. Going eastward is the Maurice Desert. Decades ago, it was a barren land. However, the government encouraged people to reclaim land here, gradually forming a village.
Nevertheless, with the development of the past dozen years or so, the current Wolfskin Ridge Village has undergone a significant transformation.
The fields here are contiguous, and orchards are dense. Especially during this season, it is time for corn harvesting and apple picking. In the fields and farms, villagers are busy everywhere.
Some fishing lakes are embedded in the reed marshes.
In addition, there are continuous vegetable greenhouses and date gardens with heavy, bright-red fruits!
This place is the vegetable greenhouse base of Lingzhou City, as well as the origin of “Lingwu Dates.” These industries have not only significantly driven the local people’s economic income, but also played an excellent role in sand prevention.
The “Wolfskin Ridge Village” that used to be engulfed by sandstorms whenever there was a wind has now turned into a prosperous “well-off village.”
However, today’s Wolfskin Ridge Village is shrouded in a very strange atmosphere.
The entire village is filled with the smell of blood.
At the east side of the village, villagers are gathered.
Xu Yang, riding the auspicious cloud, spotted the anomaly with a glance and flew down immediately.
When villagers saw someone flying down from the sky, they were incredibly surprised, and some elderly villagers even called out words like “immortal.”
Someone recognized Xu Yang and said loudly, “Don’t be afraid, everyone! I’ve seen this immortal on the internet and TV. He’s the head of our Wu City Martial Arts Academy’s Daoist Sect and a Heavenly Master. He is a living immortal…with him here, we’ll all be protected.”
The people from the Supernatural Affairs Bureau hadn’t arrived yet.
But the local police had already arrived.
They set up a cordon outside a house in the village, and the villagers were gathered outside the cordon, making a commotion.
The thick smell of blood was coming from this house.
There were blood stains all over the walls of the farmhouse.
Among the villagers, a middle-aged man squeezed his way in front of Xu Yang and said, “Director Xu, hello. I am the village chief. My son, Zhou Tao, is a martial arts student at your Martial Arts Academy.”
Now was not the time for these pleasantries.
Xu Yang got straight to the point and asked, “Village chief, what happened? Can you be more specific?”
The village chief said, “My family was harvesting corn today. I just rushed here from the field… According to Mai Laosi, he saw a wolf-headed monster running out of Huang Quezi’s house… Then he discovered that Huang Quezi’s family of four were all dead.”
“Even their livestock were all bitten to death.”
“Yes, yes!”
The man called “Mai Laosi” walked over. He was in his fifties with dark red skin due to long hours of hard work and sun exposure. He also wore a white hat, clearly from the Hui ethnic group.
Xu Yang knew there were mixed Hui and Han living in the village.
The old man gestured with his hands, exaggerating, “The monster was so tall, with thick arms and a wolf head. It ran like the wind, whooshing away like that.”
He pointed to the east.
That was where the village’s “vegetable greenhouse” plantation base was.
Going further east, there was a newly built “migrant village” called “Tongde Village.” Beyond “Tongde Village” was a range of continuous mountains, and after crossing the mountains was the Maurice Desert.
At this moment, a young police officer who was searching the farmhouse rushed out.
He probably hadn’t seen such a scene before, retching and squatting down to vomit at the entrance.
Xu Yang had already scanned the inside of the farmhouse with his “divine sense”, which was indeed a gruesome sight. He waited for the police officer to finish vomiting before saying, “This case is unusual, call the brothers inside to come out. The Spirits Management Bureau personnel will arrive soon, they’ll take over.”
As Xu Yang’s words fell,
An urgent braking sound rang out.
Wang Lin’s newly bought BMW stopped by the side of the road.
Following his car were two off-road vehicles, both carrying the red license plates of the Supernatural Affairs Bureau.
From the car, Wang Lin, Bai Wei, and other familiar personnel from the Supernatural Affairs Bureau quickly got off. They spotted Xu Yang immediately and came forward to greet him.
“Supreme Sage Xu!”
“Celestial Master Xu…”
“Director Xu…”
“Master Xu!”
Various titles came from the mouths of the Supernatural Affairs Bureau personnel. Xu Yang said: “I have briefly surveyed the case. It was indeed done by a werewolf. This family of four was killed. Besides them, two cows and seventeen sheep also died.”
“There’s surveillance in the sheep pen. You can take it down and check it.”
In recent years, the “surveillance” industry has been saturated.
There are numerous surveillance devices available online for one to two hundred dollars, with free shipping and easy installation. Many cattle and sheep farmers buy them, connect them to their phones, and can check their homes at any time.
The Supernatural Affairs Bureau personnel worked efficiently.
They quickly took down the surveillance and sent the footage recorded on Xu Yang’s phone.
In the video, there was a wolf-headed human figure.
With his bare upper body, he quickly killed and drained the blood from each cow and sheep before swiftly fleeing the scene.
“Judging from the speed and explosive power shown in the surveillance, this werewolf’s strength is at the Limit of Acquired. It is weaker than a martial arts Grandmaster… It shouldn’t be the source we’re looking for.”
Bai Wei quickly assessed and said, “From the information gathered from the villagers, the werewolf fled eastward… Celestial Master Xu, should we arrange for people to track him down?”
“No need.”
Xu Yang said, “You all arrange manpower to go to nearby villages and check if they have also been attacked by werewolves… As for the east, I’ll go personally!”
He rode on the auspicious cloud, traveling eastward. His immense divine sense spread out, scrutinizing every corner.
The traces and aura left behind by the werewolf could not escape Xu Yang’s Dharma Eye.
However, strangely enough, when Xu Yang tracked him to the edge of the Maurice Desert, all traces and aura abruptly vanished, as if evaporated from the world.
“What’s going on?”
Xu Yang landed on the ground.
He searched carefully and picked up a bracelet from the nearby sand.
Xu Yang was very familiar with this bracelet; it belonged to Wan Qian.
At this moment, the sun had already set, night was about to fall, and since it was the fifteenth of August… the sky wasn’t completely dark yet, as the round moon had already risen on the horizon.
Xu Yang searched again to no avail, then stood in place and sneered, “You may be hiding well… But if you think that this is enough to escape me, then you are underestimating our Da Xia Daoist Sect!”n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
“Come out!”
He channelled his power, and his voice carried far.
Yet there was no response.
Xu Yang’s voice grew colder as he said solemnly, “I originally wanted to give you some dignity, but since you don’t appreciate kindness… Then today, let me show you the means of our Da Xia Daoist Sect!”
Xu Yang sat down cross-legged, flipped his hand, and took out Wan Qian’s bracelet.
On the bracelet was the aura of Wan Qian.
As long as they found Wan Qian, they could naturally find the “werewolf.”
Next, he took out a Daoist talisman, found a wooden stick, muttered some words, and waved his hand. The talisman burned with a whoosh.
Xu Yang closed his eyes, held the wooden stick in his hand, and placed one end on the sand.
Then…
With the blessing of Daoist skills, the wooden stick slowly drew a simple pattern on the sand.
