Chapter 412: Temple of Goddess

Xie Linlang shook his head and didn't want to be nosy. The main purpose of their trip was to save people, and then to spy on the situation. It's better to do less with other things.
After all, the people of Numa are so united. After knowing her true identity, she will definitely not welcome her. She still keeps a low profile!
In order to keep a low profile, Xie Linlang gave up breaking into the door, but decided to split up. Ye Bai and Xunfeng took Zhao Yan to explore the way in the Snake Bone Forest. She took Afeng to learn more about the situation in Dingxiang City. By the way, at night Visit the private house at night.
After the two groups separated, Xie Linlang took Afeng and randomly found an inn to live in. After everyone was asleep, she began to act.
The night is colder than the day, and there is a thin mist around it, which looks very mysterious.
Xie Linlang took Afeng to the door, and saw that the big lock was broken by her as soon as her hand was hard, and then she led people in, and a faint smell floated over.
The house was in a mess, as if after a fight, there were blood stains dragged out on the ground, extending to the backyard.
Xie Linlang followed the blood stains and found a family of five who had been left in the wood house.
They were all hacked to death by knives, because the weather is still cold, so the smell is not strong.
Afeng stood behind Xie Linlang, his eyes widened in fear. With the light of the torch, he glanced at one of them several times before saying.
"Big Brother Xie, he is and is the one who catches the dart!"
Xie Linlang shook her head when she heard the words. Although she could not do an autopsy, she would infer.
"You must have not come in the house last time?"
Afeng nodded, "This person gave us the money at the door."
Xie Linlang said again, "I guess when you came last time, this group of people died. That person was changed to look like this person. He traded with you. After the deal, he should have stayed in this room for a while. I looked for something for two days, and then left after I found it."
Xie Linlang guessed this way because the murderer didn't have time to clean up the tables and chairs, but dragged the corpses together. Obviously, they would stay for a while, and they felt that the corpses were an eyesore.
It seems that at the beginning, the dart of the golden armor was placed here, and even if it was over, it was the murderer who changed his mind and asked Gu An and the others to send it to the Snake Bone Forest. It might be because they wanted to kill their mouths, or they might have other reasons.
As for what the woman said during the day that the murderer took heavy things from here, what is it?
Xie Linlang took Afeng around and wandered around.
Afeng was obviously a little frightened. The night was dark and the wind was high. Looking for evidence in a house where the whole family was shut down was really a test of courage.
But he saw Xie Linlang look fearless, he suppressed the fear again, calmed down a bit, and looked a little envious of her back.
Master Xie is only a few years older than him, but his mind is much stronger than him. Sure enough, people who can do great things are different from ordinary people.
Xie Linlang searched everywhere, and finally found a small tunnel in the place where he was feeding the mules.
She let Afeng wait on it, and went down the tunnel by herself, and then she saw a small dungeon.
From the size of the shackles hanging on the wall, Xie Linlang inferred that a woman had been imprisoned here. Just as she was holding a spark to get closer, a black beetle a little wider than a centipede came out from behind the shackle , Scared her!
It's the kind of black shell bug!
Xie Linlang immediately recalled the feeling of being bitten by it, and quickly went up. After going up, she filled the hole and left there with Afeng.
What can be inferred right now is that the box that was taken away may not contain goods, but a living person. Someone rescued the woman below, and that woman may be her clan.
After coming out, they did not go back to the inn, but went directly to the Snake Bone Forest.
At this time, Xie Linlang had evidence to suspect that in Marsh Country, it is very likely that more than one tribe would find Gu An, maybe they could be found!
Following the mark left by Xunfeng, Xie Linlang soon joined them. At this time, Xunfeng told her.
"Master, my subordinates met a lot of people looking for people when they were outside the forest. Two days ago, two girls who were collecting medicine disappeared. Their parents didn't give up and kept looking for them.
They also said that because of the large number of snakes and beasts in the snake-bone forest, it is normal for more than ten people to disappear a year, but in recent years there have been a lot more, suspected of being eaten by a large beast. "
After listening, Xie Linlang became more and more curious about Marsh Country.
First, the emperor was unable to recover due to illness, then the prince defected, and then the population disappeared. These events seemed unrelated, but they gave Xie Linlang a feeling of desperation.
It seems that this marsh country is not peaceful either.
They walked all night and came to the edge of the snake bone forest. They did not rush in, but decided to rest for a few hours.
When they decided to set off, the sky was already bright, and Xie Linlang also met two groups of hunters, and the other side nodded to them in a friendly way.
For some senior hunters, it is also possible to go inside the forest, but not too deep.
The snake-bone forest is very large, the outer areas are very safe, and there are three other parts inside, the deeper the more dangerous.
Xie Linlang noticed that the two groups of people I saw before were wearing small golden sachets around their necks. She was a little curious, so when she met the third group, she greeted each other and asked them. What are you carrying.
Said one of the young men with short hair who looked very sunny.
"This, it's a snake-repellent powder. Some of you are from outside. I don't even know about the snake-repellent powder."
He said, pointing to the eastern forest and said, "The Goddess Hall in the Snake Bone Forest will distribute snake powder for free to every believer. This snake powder is very powerful. As long as you wear it, no poisonous insects dare to approach!"
Xie Linlang heard the words, followed his fingers and saw that in the forest not far away, a pointed top was exposed.
Because the whole people believe in the forest goddess, the goddess hall is everywhere in the country. When they came, they also met several places. Every time they did some good deeds to attract local believers to worship.
The young man was very enthusiastic. Seeing that Xie Linlang and the others had no snake powder, he gave them a sachet.
Although Xie Linlang had medicine powder with insect repellent, he still accepted the other's kindness, and then the group continued to march deep into the forest.
This forest is really too big. If someone builds an underground palace here, it's really hard to find just a few of them.
At this moment, Afeng stopped suddenly, pointed to a tall tree full of golden leaves and said.
"It's here. Last time we only found this place, we were attacked by a group of black bugs. Those bugs were not afraid of the deworming medicine we brought. As a last resort, we retreated. There are still signs I left on the tree."
