Chapter 137; mass death
As soon as I arrived at the entrance of the valley, I saw dense corpses of wild beasts.
I roughly estimate that there are at least one or two hundred.
These beasts vary in size, the most are pheasants, hares, and pigs.
There are also deer, tiger, and even the corpse of a water rhino monster.
"How come these corpses feel similar to those in the military camp, without any surface scars?"
A secret guard spoke.
Xia Linyuan had noticed this a long time ago.
"You guys go out first, I will go in and check it out alone."
"Prince, this is too dangerous. Let my subordinates wait for others to come in."
"No need, you guys go back."
After saying that, he stepped on his decent steps and stood up directly in the air and flew towards the depths of the valley.
Flying in the sky, his four fields became wider, and this valley was quite large.
I just saw decently only part of it, and there is still a lot of area inside.
At this time, animal corpses were also everywhere among the weeds inside.
The more he went inside the valley, he found that the fragrance he smelled at the entrance of the valley just now became more obvious.
In this way, his attention was all on the fragrance.
However, he could only smell the smell, but could not see anything related to the fragrance.
After checking it, there was no big gain.
Just as he was about to return, the message stone around his waist shone brightly again.
"Fourth Emperor Brother, something happened to Yanggu Pass in the north. You can go and take a look."
"Yanggu Pass?"
He was familiar with this place. He had been in the army for a while before. The first time he settled in the military was Yangguguan Military Camp, where he stayed for two or three months.
I met many people, but when I heard something happened there, I quickly returned to the valley entrance.
"You continue to look for traces nearby. When you enter the valley, you must be careful of the fragrance. I still have to go to Yanggu Pass to contact you if you have any information."
As soon as the few people below responded, he turned into a stream of light and headed straight for Yanggu Pass, which was only a hundred miles away from here.
When he came to the top of Yangguguan military camp, his brows frowned immediately.
The situation here is almost the same as the military camp just now. There was no movement at all in the barracks of 50,000 or 60,000 people, and it was a bit terrible.
When he landed, his spiritual consciousness was released. When he saw that, his face suddenly became dark.
None of them were spared. The way of death was almost the same as the military camp just now. Everyone died inexplicably without making any slight resistance.
Walking towards the main tent, he just arrived at the door of the main tent, and smelled a faint fragrance again.
He immediately had a guess in his heart. After a careful look, he found nothing special in other places except the fragrance.
"Who is it? What's the purpose of doing this?"
At this time, he was angry and extremely angry at apart from doubts.
These are 70,000 to 80,000 lives, all to protect the soldiers who trained and guarded the barriers day and night, including some of his former comrades.
At this moment, standing in this silent military camp, his whole body was trembling, and his anger could no longer be suppressed.
However, at this moment, the message stone on his waist lit up again.
At this time, he saw the message stone, and he was a little scared. He was afraid that something bad news would come.
Fortunately, the one who sent the message to him was not the prince, but one of the secret guards he had just left in the military camp there.
They found some traces deep in the valley.
He had already basically understood the situation here, but he had not stayed for a long time. When he returned to the military camp there, it was already dark.
The group settled in a small town near the military camp.
In the room, Xia Linyuan frowned and sat at the table, watching what his subordinates brought out from the valley.
A pink rag with sporadic gray powder on it.
The powder is very small and looks like dust. If it is placed elsewhere, they probably won't pay attention.
But at this moment, the piece of rag in front of him emitted an extremely strong fragrance.
It was the fragrance he smelled in the two military camps, and the source of this fragrance was these inconspicuous powders.
"Are you really using poison? But what kind of poison is this? Is it so powerful?"
As soon as his puzzled murmur fell, the door of the room was knocked.
"Prince, my subordinates are here with the most famous doctor in the town."
"Come in."
The door opened and a secret guard walked in from outside with a gray-haired doctor.
"The grass-roots pay homage to His Highness."
"I don't have to be too polite, come here, I have something here, you can tell if you can tell what medicine it is."
The old doctor stood up carefully, and as soon as he walked forward two steps, he immediately smelled the fragrance.
His face changed drastically, and he stepped back and shouted.
"King...Prince, this is charming..."
Before he could finish his words, he fell down.
An extremely vulgar smile appeared on his old face, and his hands were waving randomly in the air, as if he was stroking something.
Such a scene made Xia Linyuan and the secret guard stunned.
When they realized it, the old doctor had no sound and had a smile on his face like the soldiers in the military camp.
In just a few breaths, the old man died inexplicably in front of them.
"This...Prince, be careful."
As soon as the secret guard reacted, he raised his hand and slapped the rags on the table away.
Xia Linyuan's reaction was not slow either. Seeing the old doctor's death so strangely, he also thought that the fragrance must be poisonous. He could dodge the moment the secret guard reminded him.
"It seems that we have guessed it well. The bizarre deaths of tens of thousands of soldiers in the two military camps have something to do with this fragrance. It seems that someone is going to attack our Daxia."
His face was very gloomy and his eyes were filled with horror.
The scene of the old doctor suddenly dying just now shocked him.
He was also full of fear of the toxicity of the fragrance. The old man just smelled a little bit, but died in just a few breaths.
If this thing is spread everywhere in Daxia, it would be impossible...
He dared not think about it.
"You go and deal with this old man's affairs, remember to treat him well and explain that he has received generous gifts."
"yes."
The secret guard left with the old man's body.
Xia Linyuan was the only one left in the room, and his eyes looked at the rag again.
He was shocked just now, but now he calmed down, and a hint of doubt arose in his heart.
He had always kept this rag next to him, and his secret guards were also staying with him before he came back. Why did they show no signs of being poisoned?
Judging from the speed at which the old man was poisoned to death just now, the toxicity of this fragrance should be very strong, but why did it have no effect on them?
Thinking of this, he walked over again to pick up the piece of rag, and carefully looked at the gray powder on it.
