Chapter 915.
[Potential +1]
Wang Dust ignored the information prompt that flashed through his vision and called out the panel.
[Name: Wang Dust (Ling Zhiyuan)]
[Age: 16]
[Cultivation: Martial General]
[Technique: Xuan Tian Seven Deadly Wheel (Swallow Thief): 37/400]
[Potential: 971]
Earlier, when condensing the fourth Fury Wheel, he had consumed a large number of Potential Points, and now not only had he completely made up for it, but he had also reached a record-breaking nearly 1,000 points.
Wang Chen had a vague feeling that if his potential points reached one thousand, there was a high possibility that some sort of change would occur!
Exactly what kind of change, Wang Chen definitely didn’t know now.
But he was very much looking forward to it.
To be honest, boiling and decocting medicine and drinking it every day was bitter and tiring, and it wasn’t easy to stick to it every day.
Beep~
It was at this time that a sharp whistling sound suddenly entered Wang Dust’s ears.
With a shock in his heart, he leapt out of the open window without thinking and landed in the small courtyard outside.
Bang!
Wang Chen looked up and saw a brilliant cloud of fireworks explode high in the sky.
Blood Clothes Summoning Order!
This was precisely the signal for the Blood Clothes Guards to summon their fellow guards, once something important happened, but all the guards who saw the smoke and fire signal must rush to the gathering place at the first time.
And the direction of the smoke and fire is exactly the county guardhouse.
Wang Duan immediately mounted the yellow horse tethered to the door and galloped towards the guardhouse.
Ordinary people were strictly forbidden to gallop their horses on the streets of the county town because they could easily injure innocent passers-by.
However, the Blood Clothes Guards were not prohibited, so every time Wang Chen went to his rented house, he used his horse to walk.
With only one tea’s effort, he arrived at the guard house.
As a result, when Wang Dust arrived at the door and just rolled over and dismounted, he saw Old Qiu leading people out of it in a hurry.
One of the blood-clothed guards immediately frowned when he saw Wang Dust, “Ling Zhiyuan, what’s it like for you to run outside all day instead of staying in the guardhouse!”
Wang Dust ignored the other party and only looked at Little Flag Old Qiu.
This guy’s name was Dong Zhihui, and he belonged to the same Old Qiu’s squad as Wang Dust, but from the day the two of them met, he had looked at Wang Dust unfavorably, and had found Wang Dust in trouble a few times, both openly and secretly.
But Wang Chuan was too busy with his own business to bother with the other party, plus Old Qiu had always had a good impression of him, so Dong Zhihui couldn’t make much of a fuss.
He didn’t expect this bastard to grab a little thing and find fault with him in public again!
Old Qiu said in a deep voice, “Stop arguing, the mission is important, you all come with me!”
He actually didn’t like Dong Zhihui very much, this person’s ambition was too big to be pretentious, his strength was ordinary, and he had been in the guardhouse for several years and was still only a seal guard.
In fact, Dong Zhihui looked at Wang Chen unfavorably for this very reason.
Old Qiu had a good old boy look on the surface and looked a bit weak, but how could a real coward be a Blood Clothes Guard Junior Flag!
He gagged Dong Zhihui with a few words, then rushed to the place of the incident with three Blood Clothes Guards, including Wang Dust, as well as a fine yellow-haired dog.
Iron hooves pounded against the green stone slabs as the four horsemen galloped past from the long street, startling the passersby into retreating.
The place where the incident happened was in a tailor store in the west of the city, when the four riders arrived, there were quite a few people watching in front of the store.
Two green-clothed constables guarded the door to maintain order.
Sigh…
Old Qiu pulled the rope and strangled his horse, picking up Fine Dog and jumping down from the horse.
Seeing the arrival of the Blood Clothes Guards, the surrounding spectators immediately dispersed, and no one dared to come over again.
The two constables hurriedly saluted, “Sir Qiu!”
“No need to be polite!”
Old Qiu waved his hand and led the three of them, Wang Chen, inside the store.
This tailor store was a front store and backyard layout, with the front being a store for external business and the back being a house for a family to live in.
Only the front door of the main house was open, and a strong smell of blood spread out from inside.
Inside the house, there were also two constables, one of whom was Li, the constable that Wang Chuan had dealt with before.
When Wang Chuan stepped into the inner room, the first thing that met his eyes was a body lying on the ground.
A body that had been stripped of its skin, revealing its muscles!
The deceased obviously suffered great pain in life, hands and feet are twisted, even without the skin, can still distinguish his tragic situation.
Next to the bed, there were two other corpses with the same skin removed!
Such a gruesome scene is enough to give people nightmares!
A coroner was examining the corpses on the ground.
“Painted Skin Demon!”
The pupils of Old Qiu’s eyes suddenly shrunk, his expression revealing a few grimaces, “How dare, it has appeared again!”
It was said that there was only one type of demon in the beginning, and that was the Heavenly Demon.
However, when the original devil descended into this world and continued to infest and occupy human souls and bodies, different types were derived over the millennia.
The Painted Skin Demon was precisely one of them.
This kind of demon likes to skin people alive, and then re-draw and re-drapes the skin on itself, dressing up as another person.
Painted Skin Demons would often hoard several or even dozens of human skins and mingle in the crowd under different identities.
Looking for new targets!
This kind of evil demon was extremely ferocious and was not easy to detect, so once it appeared, it was very harmful.
The Painted Skin Demon had appeared in Linjiang County before, but it quickly disappeared under the Blood Clothes Guards’ vigorous search and never appeared again.
Now it appeared!
“The coroner checked just now, these people should have been killed last night at midnight!”
Sheriff Li said in a deep voice, “It was found in the morning when someone came to pick up the clothes, Tailor Lin’s family of five, we found four flayed corpses, all four adults were there, only the five year old daughter was missing.”
“I have already sent people to search carefully around, it is also possible that they were taken away by the Painted Skin Demon ……”
Saying that, he couldn’t help but clench his fists, showing the anger within.
Although this constable was not a good person, but seeing the countryside of the Lin tailor’s family suffered such bad luck, he could not help but feel the sadness of a rabbit’s death.
Devil, was the common enemy of man!
“Woof woof!”
It was at this time that the fine dog that had been sniffing around after being brought in by Old Qiu suddenly barked towards the door and then leapt out quickly.
“Follow!”
Old Qiu waved his hand to signal.
The fine dog he raised had an extremely sensitive sense of smell, and could also smell out the devil’s odor, and had helped him solve murders several times.
Therefore Old Qiu had great trust in it.
The group of people followed it out.
Only to see the fine dog run to the door, and immediately leapt into an alley.
Everyone followed it all the way to the root of the city wall, and then the guy barked furiously towards the top of the wall.
Old Qiu lifted it up and held it in his arms and said, “Go out of the city and chase it again.”
The four Blood Clothes Guards returned to the tailor store, remounted their own mounts, and went out of the city to their previous corresponding positions.
The fine dogs were put down again.
This time, the fine dog ran towards the north and kept running into the dense mountain forest!
