Chapter 164: Chapter 112 Three-eyed Crow_2

At such a close distance, even she could sense the location of the Tusk, right in the midst of some grass. She bent down and saw the Tusk embedded in a small piece of Yellow Paper. The paper was cut into the shape of a human, with head, face, and limbs, and similarly drawn with vermillion runes, but it had been punctured by the Tusk.

How magical, such a small piece of paper could borrow the projection of an Immortal Official to get things done for oneself? How convenient!

"The Tusk is imbued with my Divine Power, it can break the Yellow Turban Warrior’s talisman with a touch," Changtian’s voice was indifferent, devoid of any hint of pride. Indeed, for him, breaking a Yellow Turban Warrior’s talisman was nothing to be proud of. "That person is cautious, not only personally waiting here to take back the child but also left a backup plan for you."

A backup plan? Ning Xiaoxian’s heart chilled: "Are there mechanisms in this abandoned garden?"

"Not mechanisms." Changtian said, "There’s a faint demon energy on the big tree behind you to the right, probably a watcher sent by that person."

She turned around quietly, pretending to wipe sweat off her forehead with her hand, then took two more steps forward, and raised her hand again. The Tusk shot out like lightning, heading straight for the big tree on the right!

Having been fooled twice, her heart was stifled with frustration, and this time her angry move was both precise and ruthless; a pitiful cry of "quack" was heard, and sure enough, something fell from the tree, twitched twice on the ground, and then lay motionless.

This thing was pitch black, and not large in size; the Tusk had struck its heart, nearly cleaving it into two. She carefully extended the Tusk to flip it over, only then did she realize it was actually a crow! Mountain City was surrounded by trees, and a few crows flying around the city wouldn’t arouse suspicion. Truly a natural born tracker.

This crow in her hand looked glossy and was slightly smaller than ordinary crows, but most bizarre was the vertical slit on its forehead. Ning Xiaoxian pried it open with her Dagger, nearly dropping it in shock—it was an upright pupil.

"Three-eyed Crow. A low-level demon, not even fully mentally developed, likes to follow children when juvenile." After reading many books over the days, Changtian now recognized about seventy to eighty percent of the various demon types in the world, and could basically serve as her living dictionary, "Adult Three-eyed Crows like to burrow into human torsos, eat the heart and then use the human shell as puppets, that’s why they are also known as Corpse Dance Crows. However, Three-eyed Crows can be trained to track and monitor, and are able to report back to their master in simple language, this one looks not fully grown yet."

He concluded, "So, what you brought down isn’t actually a demon, but someone’s spirit beast."

That person was very cunning, taking away the child himself yet not at ease, and even didn’t dare to touch the Tusk, just leaving a tailing pest here. Unfortunately, the clues are cut off here again.

Right now, she had no better options, so she just picked up the dead crow from the ground and retraced her path. God Demon Prison now consumed many demons, and this juvenile three-eyed crow could at most provide as much energy as a mosquito leg; she didn’t care much but kept it as evidence. Losing a child was a big deal, and it was not something Ning Xiaoxian could just cover up, so she informed Tan Qinghe, and then went with a few children to the government office to report the matter.

Upon meeting the government officials, she only spoke what could be said, saying a yellow shadow had taken Gouzi, and when she chased them to the edge of the alley, the other party vanished. Knowing that relying on mortal power, it was unlikely that the child would be recovered, hence she was not very detailed in her description. The government officials, seeing her just a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl, did not believe she could catch up with the evil man who snatched the child. Moreover, with a few children testifying chaotically at her side, they believed her story, took down her testimony, and sent people to notify the parents of various children.

Although the abducted child was a stranger, it was nonetheless an innocent life. She couldn’t bear to ignore it, knowing her soft heart, Changtian couldn’t help but comfort her: "That person must have a use for the child, wouldn’t harm his life hastily." This girl always worried about others, and then he always worried about her, truly an unsolvable vicious cycle.

"You’re right. Since the perpetrator is a human, it’s improbable that he took the child to eat, there must be some other use." She pondered, "Are there any Spells that require the blood of a boy?"

"There are too many." Qiongqi couldn’t help interrupting, "Spells that require the blood of children, just those I know of, are already several hundred. If it involves the soul, then even more."

That would be too difficult to investigate from scratch, Ning Xiaoxian sighed lightly, yet a spark of inspiration flashed in her mind. No, that’s not right!

She requested Tan Qinghe: "Sister Tan, could you please ask Second Young Master Wen to come here for a moment? I have something to inquire." She then spoke up about how her identity was recognized by Second Young Master Wen during the food delivery a few days ago.

Tan Qinghe was greatly shocked. If Ning Xiaoxian hadn’t been here today, that yellow shadow might have taken Chengcheng instead. Just thinking about her son, whom she brought up single-handedly, being abducted, made her feel as if her soul was tearing apart, and she was even more grateful to this girl. Her mindset had matured already, raising a child alone, making her much more composed than ordinary women, upon hearing this she didn’t say much and immediately turned to rush out.

Before long, two groups of people arrived at the government office simultaneously. One party was naturally Wen Liangyu, who had just returned from a tea party, and when he heard the news, he hurriedly came; the other party was Gouzi’s parents.

Gouzi’s mother was a notorious shrew in the neighborhood, would make a big scene out of anything, let alone losing her son like this. She almost threw tantrums and rolled on the ground as soon as she arrived at the government office, grabbing the government officials demanding her son. She was the principal victim, although the officials looked impatient, they couldn’t just kick her out, causing a scene of chaos everywhere. (To be continued.
