Chapter 18 Jungle Tracking

Jiang Chen said in a deep voice: "Actually, Miss Gan gave me a suggestion just now - take out the wife's old clothes and use divination techniques to tell where the wife is."

"Divine technique?" The girl in green opened her eyes wide, "It sounds unreliable!"

"Do you have a more reliable way?"

Chiyang sighed and said, "Oh, let's take care of the dead horse! You have to give it a try!"

Although the old butler's face was strange, he also ordered the servants to do it.

Soon, a group of maids were carrying their wife's old clothes on trays, lined up in a long line, and entered in one after another.

"Mrs. My wife loves to be clean and she cleans the clothes she has changed on the same day. I'm afraid she won't leave any clues..." The old butler obviously didn't like them very much.

"It's okay. Anything that causes and effects will leave traces." Jiang Chen grabbed a ball of clothes, closed his eyes, muttered something in his mouth, and twisted his fingers with his right hand.

The room was staring at him intently.

In Jiang Chen's vision, a ball of dark void gradually spread out with the clothes in his left hand.

These dust is like ice and snow, dancing all over the sky, emitting a faint silver light, spreading outward, gradually outlining the outline of a mansion.

Wherever the dust goes, is where the owner of this old clothing once walked.

The mansion outlined by dust in the void corresponds closely to the Jia family in reality, and every road left traces of the footsteps of the wife of Jia family.

This is Jiang Chen's magical power - "Secrets of the Void".

It is most suitable for tracing cause and effect, searching for people and things.

However, this dress has been worn by several moves. In addition to the wife, she has also been washed by the maid and the mother-in-law. The cause and effect are inconsistent, and it is intertwined and overlapped in this Jia Mansion, and more precise details cannot be traced.

Fortunately, in more than a month, there is no need for too detailed details.

Dust spreads further outside.

The streets of Xiliao City, big and small, have left behind Madam Jia’s deep or shallow footprints. But none of these are.

Only the road that leaves the city and goes straight to the southern jungle is where Mrs. Jia disappears!

"Bang!" Jiang Chen opened his eyes, snapped his fingers, "Go!"

“Where to go?”

“Southern Jungle!”

The old housekeeper prepared a fast horse for the three of them, rushed all the way, leaving the city before noon, and heading south along the official road, and the trees gradually flourished.

The three tied their horses to the periphery and hiked into the jungle.

Monsters often appear in the jungles in the southern region. Except for the shrewd and powerful hunters, few people are active in this area.

The trees are towering and weeds are overgrown.

A month has passed, and even if someone has come, the traces have long been covered by wild animals and plants.

Even professional hunters like Chiyang could not find any clues about Mrs. Jia. He couldn't help but start to wonder if Jiang Chen had really found the right path.

"Xiao Jiang, do you really know how to tell fortunes?"

"Fake it." Jiang Chen paused when he saw Chi Yang's footsteps, and then smiled, "But my nose is very flexible, this direction is definitely correct."

The girl in green clothes, who was strolling around the garden, curiously turned her head: "How smart are you, are you more smart than a wild dog?"

"I'm polite! How can I compare myself to dogs?" Jiang Chen waved his hand disdainfully, "I'm much better than them!"

"But why didn't you smell the corpse under the bed last night?"

"That's different!"

"Oh, I understand. Although you smelled the corpse, you not only didn't smell it, but instead became intoxicated and even had a spring dream, right?"

"All nonsense!"

Chiyang in front seemed to have discovered something, so he stepped up two steps and squatted down in front of a wild beast's corpse.

The corpse should have died shortly after its death, and was generally intact and was not eaten by other wild beasts. A slender lacquered strip-shaped hidden weapon was inserted in the middle of its skull, which was probably the direct cause of its death.

Jiang Chen also leaned over, reached out and pulled out the slender hidden weapon from the skull, held it in front of him for a while, showing a look of confusion: "Is this... chopsticks?"

He broke the force slightly, and the slender weapon broke in response to the sound. The uneven wooden stubble at the crack showed that it was indeed a chopstick!

"He's a master!" Chi Yang looked at the hole in the beast's skull that was inserted into the chopsticks and murmured, "One blow is fatal, clean and neat. That man must have a lot of strength in his hands! Unfortunately, his footprints were too long and his footprints were all over.

It covers up, otherwise you can observe his body movement.”

"Is there anyone else who uses chopsticks as weapons in Xiliao City?" The girl in green tilted her head and stretched out her hand curiously. Jiang Chen twitched her half of the chopsticks tactfully.

The girl in green clothes sniffed: "This guy has a very strange taste. She uses chopsticks to kill people. Are you afraid of getting disgusted when eating?"

"Maybe he likes the smell of blood and thinks it's even better."

"A funny guy, I want to meet him." The girl in green licked the corners of her rosy lips, squinted her eyes slightly to observe the half of the chopsticks on her hand, and sighed softly, "It's a pity that this guy is probably not a human being.



"Isn't it a human?" Jiang Chen blinked in confusion.

"His fingers are as thin as you, but twice as long as you. You said, is this a human?"

With the description of the girl in green clothes, Jiang Chen's mind had a certain image of a wild beast's claws, and he shivered and said, "Madam Jia fell into this guy's hands?"

The girl in green smiled and threw away the chopsticks in her hand: "Let's walk forward, maybe we can find Mrs. Jia's corpse, which can be considered as an explanation for Mr. Jia's Fourth."

She crossed Chiyang and took the lead in opening the way.

Jiang Chen followed behind, frowned and murmured to himself: "No! If she dies, the cause and effect will break. After a month, she shouldn't have left such heavy traces..."

"What's wrong? So many people in Xiliao City die in the mouths of monsters every day. Isn't this a very ordinary ending?" The girl in green said without looking back, "The love between two people is not as good as life and death.

.”

A few scattered chopsticks were found in front of them, some of which were lost, and some were inserted into the bones of wild beasts. The more they went, the more densely they appeared.

This made Jiang Chen have a new guess - Mrs. Jia may have eloped with someone on her own initiative! The target of her elopement is this master who likes to use chopsticks as weapons!

Otherwise, besides humans, monsters who eat raw meat and drink blood will not be interested in chopsticks, right? And there is no way to collect so many chopsticks, right?

As for what the girl in green clothes said, the expert's fingers are particularly slender, perhaps it is just that the other person has a unique bone and a special appearance. As a master, he will always be a little different!

After trekking through a dense forest with vines, the vision ahead suddenly widened.

A wooden house located on a hillside came into view by three people.

"Sure enough, there is someone!" Jiang Chen shouted in surprise.

There are signs of human habitation everywhere here—

There are fences around the wooden house, and countless vines climb on it.

A string of chopsticks tied together hung at the door of the wooden house, like the dried chili skewers in some southern towns, swaying gently in the breeze, making a crisp collision sound.

So many chopsticks made the three of them feel that they had found the right place immediately.
