C46 Master Missing

At this moment, Zuo Feng's heart was filled with doubts and puzzlement. The danger in the village should be mainly caused by those bandits from the Golden Rock Mountain. Now that the village had been destroyed, and the bandits slaughtered, and the corpses still hung there, the only ones who were involved in this matter were the mysterious group of gray-clothed men.

The migrating troops of the village were ambushed by bandits, and among the ambushing bandits was also the gray-clothed person. All these clues eventually pointed to the group of gray clothed people. It was as if this vast region only started to become restless after the appearance of the group of gray clad people.

Zuo Feng was almost certain that the bandits were killed by that group of grey robed men. However, Zuo Feng was worried. He was worried that Commander Zhang Yu from Yan City would also be involved. Otherwise, how would he explain how his subordinates would make things difficult for them the moment they entered the city?

'I can only hope that my guess is wrong. If Zhang Yu is also involved, then even the villagers in Yancheng won't be able to live a peaceful life in the future.

Zuo Feng didn't pay too much attention to this Mountain Thief. These people did all sorts of evil deeds in the past, and even received such retribution in the end. It could be said that they deserved this sort of retribution.

Suddenly, he remembered that Zuo Feng had walked into the village and checked again. However, he realized that none of the corpses looked like his master.

"Is Master still alive?" Zuo Feng mumbled to himself.

Within the village, the piles of corpses were twisted and couldn't be separated anymore. Zuo Feng had no choice but to use a simple method to deal with them. Then he came to the square at the village entrance, where there was a large tent, the only survivor of the burning.

The inside of the tent was also a bloody scene. Of the five corpses inside the tent, some had their heads separated from their bodies while others were cruelly cut off. Among the five corpses, the grumpy but straightforward Third Elder and the Fourth Elder were there.

All of them had close blood ties with Zuo Feng and belonged to Zuo Feng's grandfather's generation. Zuo Feng couldn't bear to simply bury the two of them and carefully put the bodies together. He then tore off the entire tent and wrapped it with the cloth before carrying it to the hillside outside the village.

"Let's do it here. If you know anything about the underworld, then please bless the people who survived and survived in our village." Zuo Feng mumbled to himself.

He broke off a thick branch and began to dig. It didn't take long for the two corpses to be completely buried. Facing the two tombstones in front of him, Zuo Feng didn't say anything for a long time.

Zuo Feng sat there quietly for a while before he left the elder's place and walked into the forest. Although it was delayed for a while, Zuo Feng had now completely calmed down. What he needed now was to adjust his state of mind and calm down to judge the situation.

The most important thing was to find his master. He had a feeling that Teng Xiao Yun wasn't dead yet. This feeling didn't make sense. It was just that he could vaguely feel that Teng Xiao Yun was still alive. He didn't know that this was just a wishful thinking on his part.

Suddenly, he thought about how he had been talking to himself when he finally broke up with Teng Xiao Yun, "All of this might have something to do with me."

'Could it be that they're looking for their master, or something from the cave? He lowered his head and thought for a while.

Zuo Feng's eyes suddenly brightened. If his guess was right, then Uncle Teng should still be safe. At least his life would not be in danger. From start to finish, Zuo Feng had never suspected that his Master would leave the village and escape by herself. If he thought that way, it would be the greatest insult to his Master.

Thinking of this, Zuo Feng's mood improved a little. The next thing he wanted to do was to find his master's whereabouts. Zuo Feng also immediately moved, and mobilized all of his mental energy to investigate his surroundings to the greatest extent.

The scorching sun hung high in the sky, causing the ground to be scorching hot. Even from afar, the heat from the ground's heat would cause one's vision to be distorted.

Zuofeng ignored the scorching sun and continued to move through the forest. Sometimes, he would run in this direction, and then stop for a moment. Then, he would suddenly change his direction and run out another section. Then, he would stop again for a while.

Zuo Feng used his spiritual force to check the area for more than two hours. After checking everything within ten miles of the village, a sense of powerlessness gradually appeared in his mind.

His search was extremely meticulous. In such a large range, Zuo Feng had already checked every single area that was abnormal. However, the heartless reality was that the remains were the hidden sentries that the bandits had used to observe the village. Those bandits had now turned into corpses hanging on the fences outside the village, leaving Zuo Feng at a loss again.

Time passed by slowly, and a touch of orange appeared in the western horizon. Zuo Feng was already exhausted, but Zuo Feng could still endure the fatigue, but the stabbing pain in his head and the waves of dizziness forced him to stop and rest.

Leaning against a big tree, although Zuo Feng still had not given up on trying to find his master, a feeling of unease and helplessness kept surging through his mind. Zuo Feng took out a small bag and took out some dry food. Just as the dry food was about to enter his mouth, his gaze swept over a neatly folded piece of paper.

When Zuo Feng saw the note, he couldn't help but feel his eyes go slightly sore. He gently unfolded the paper and impressively wrote a sentence on it.

"Let go of yourself and focus on protecting your heart." "Any external flow of energy will circulate through his meridians, and any external flow that is purified will be kept in the Na Hai, repeating the same thing over and over again."

This was the chant that his master used to teach him the basics of body strengthening technique. He had long memorized this formula. However, he was unwilling to part with the note. He had always kept it by his side as a souvenir. At this moment, he could not help but feel a twinge of affection for it.

The small beast, which had been sleeping for a long time, suddenly woke up at this moment, and silently crawled out from Zuo Feng's arms. When it saw the sorrowful expression on Zuo Feng's face, it tilted its head in confusion.

Then, he looked at the dry rations in Zuo Feng's hand. His eyes revealed a hint of disappointment, but he also saw the note in Zuo Feng's other hand. Suddenly, it seemed to have understood something. It looked at Zuo Feng again, and then quickly crawled to Zuo Feng's side, grabbed the slip of paper, and stuffed it into its mouth.

Zuo Feng was immersed in his grief at this time and did not notice the little beast's actions. He only came back to his senses after seeing the little beast eat the paper in his hand. He grabbed the little beast and was about to pull the paper out of its mouth, but he found out that the beast had already swallowed it. This made Zuo Feng angry and helpless.

'It's just a small beast, it doesn't know anything. It must want to eat something when it's hungry. However, this fellow usually doesn't even like rations, so why is he so interested in this little slip of paper this time? '

Zuo Feng helplessly thought like this as he took out some of that sawdust and passed it over. However, this time, the little beast acted as if it didn't see anything and just laid on Zuo Feng's leg in a daze.

After a short while, the small beast started to walk in a certain direction. Zuo Feng looked at all of this with a puzzled expression. When the little beast saw that Zuo Feng wasn't following it, it raised its head and squeaked. It looked as if it wanted Zuo Feng to follow it.

'Could it be that it has something to do with the piece of paper he just ate? He wants to bring me to see the owner of this piece of paper? ' Zuo Feng's mind was filled with questions.

He also felt that this was his wishful thinking, but he was at a loss as to what to do.

"Who cares about him? He's just trying to save his own life. He doesn't have a direction anyway." Then, he steeled his heart and muttered to himself.

Zuo Feng had also heard that the sense of smell of wild beasts was very sensitive, and they were able to track down prey that had left a long time ago with just a trace of the scent. However, the small beast in front of him did not have the instinct to hunt its prey. Furthermore, it did not even smell it carefully. It just swallowed the piece of paper. This was very puzzling.

The speed of the small beast was sometimes fast and sometimes slow. Sometimes it would lower its head and squat there as if it was asleep, and sometimes it would raise its speed to an extremely fast pace. Seeing that the small beast was leading towards the northeast, Zuo Feng suddenly slapped his forehead. He had actually forgotten such an important clue about the Eastern Mountain Canyon.

Due to the chaos in his head, Zuo Feng had been searching for clues like a headless fly. The action of the small beast in front of him had actually reminded Zuo Feng. Even if the small beast could not bring Zuo Feng to find his master this time, Zuo Feng had a next target.

The small beast suddenly stopped and began to dig on the ground. Zuo Feng just stared blankly at the little beast working on the ground. However, his eyes lit up when he looked at Zuo Feng. After the dirt and rocks on the ground had been removed, blood stains could be seen.

Seeing this, Zuo Feng also hurried over, using his hands and feet to help the little beast dig. The two busy figures, one big and one small, were digging around in the forest.

After some work, Zuo Feng was still digging, but he found a pair of big silver-gray eyes looking at him. Zuo Feng slightly glanced over from the corner of his eyes and saw that the little beast had stopped digging long ago. It just stared at him with its little black eyes, seemingly sneering at him.

Zuo Feng suddenly felt as if he had been played by someone. This little guy already knew that digging would be useless, but he didn't have any intentions of stopping. He just stared at Su Hao as if he was watching a show with sweat dripping down his face.

"You little thing. Are you making fun of me? You …" Zuo Feng didn't know whether to laugh or cry as he spoke to Xiao Shuren, but when he saw Xiao Shuren glare at him, he immediately turned his head away and ignored him.

"Sigh."

Zuo Feng slightly sighed, then started to pay attention to what he had dug out. After a careful inspection, he realized that his hard work had not been in vain. Apart from a few bloodstains and torn strips of cloth, there was also a few pieces of cloth mixed in.

Although it was just a strip of cloth, it was real clues in the eyes of Zuo Feng. If it was anyone else, they would not have been able to find anything, but Zuo Feng was different.

He carefully grabbed all the cloth strips in his hand and carefully checked them. Sometimes he rubbed them together, and sometimes he held them in front of his eyes to carefully observe the faint moonlight. Sometimes he lifted them up to his nose and sniffed them.

After half a day, Zuo Feng finally sat up straight and slightly closed his eyes as he quietly sat there for a long time. At a certain moment, he suddenly opened his eyes. His eyes were filled with excitement and joy.
