Chapter 1380 Could it be…
Although he had said that, his eyes were wary as he looked around his surroundings, and a hint of timidness could be seen in his eyes. After all, the murderer’s tactics were too shocking. Whoever it was would feel scared in their heart and worry about encountering him.
Feng Jiu walked beside him, her eyes crinkled up with a smile. Compared to Luo Heng’s timid heart and vigilant eyes, she seemed calm.
She analysed in her mind, the killer had focused on the disciples from the Pill Sun Sect. The killer had also slit the victim’s hands, feet and throat. That was done intentionally.
“Hey, are you going to Pill Sun Sect?” Luo Heng shouted. The figure in front was of a strong build. He turned around and glanced at the two of them and when he saw Luo Heng wearing the robes from Pill Sun Sect, he stepped forward and bowed respectfully.
“Yes, I am about to go to Pill Sun Sect. Are the both of you disciples from Pill Sun Sect?”
“That’s right, the road ahead is uneven, you must be careful when you go up the mountain. If you are in danger, just shout for help.” Luo Heng reminded him.
The burly man was a little startled when he heard this and smiled: “I’m not boasting but I am pretty capable of protecting myself. The both of you don’t have to worry about me.”
Feng Jiu smiled and said: “Do be careful anyway. About six to seven people have died in this area and they were murdered.”
The man was slightly surprised when he heard this and nodded: “Thank you both. I will pay attention.” With that, he bowed and took his leave.
After they watched the man leave, the two of them looked around the forest and when they noticed nothing out of the ordinary, Luo Heng came to rest under a tree.
“Let’s take a break! We’ve patrolled quite a large area and we’ve not seen anything. Maybe the killer has left.” He sat down under the tree and took a sip of water.
Feng Jiu thought about their previous discussion. It seemed like one person died every six hours. It had been nearly six hours since the last murder, if that’s the case then another murder would be happening around now.
However, this was such a big place, it wouldn’t be easy to find the killer. Besides, the killer used incense to render his victim unconscious, the victim wouldn’t be able to make any sound.
Just as she was deep in thought, a light flashed across her mind.
“Senior Brother Luo, you said earlier that the men who were murdered were strong built and in their thirties?” Feng Jiu looked at Luo Heng and asked.
“Yes! All the men that have died are strongly built like bulls and if they didn’t even have the ability to protect themselves, then this is really bad.” Luo Heng replied and looked at her: “Why do you ask?”
Feng Jiu who was sitting beside him stood up immediately: “Among the two people we met earlier, wasn’t one of the men a burly man in his thirties? If the killer targets this type of person, then would he…..”
“You mean that the man earlier might be his next target?” Luo Heng couldn’t help but stand up with a nervous expression on his face and said: “It seems like a possibility. Maybe I should go and look for Senior Brother Lin and the others? Let’s go and take a look together.”
“By the time we find them that man will probably be dead. I’ve checked the time, if the killer really kills every six hours then I’m afraid he has already started. Hurry, let’s catch up to them and take a look.” While she spoke she looked in the direction where the man had gone.
Upon seeing this, Luo Heng gritted his teeth and caught up to her: “Hey, wait for me!”
