Chapter 216
When Long Chen returned to the place he had marked, his expression changed . He rushed forward and saw that it was a complete mess . An area of hundreds of meters had been completely leveled .
Ditches and scars were dug into the ground . Some of the ditches were even a mile long .
“There was definitely a large battle here . ” Tang Wan-er was startled as she examined this land .
Long Chen’s expression sunk . “It seems Little Snow was attacked by people . ”
He rubbed a part of the ground that was dark red . Clearly that place had been corroded by blood . Long Chen could smell Little Snow’s scent from that blood .
“From these scars, it seems that some were made by Sword Qi and not a Magical Beast . But who would attack Little Snow?” puzzled Tang Wan-er .
This place wasn’t even technically in the monastery’s land, and so none of the monastery’s experts would come here . And if it wasn’t the monastery’s people, then it had to be outsiders .
But there were no settlements within tens of thousands of miles of the Xuantian Monastery . There wouldn’t be any foreign experts coming here .
Furthermore, the Scarlet Flame Snow Wolf was an overlord amongst third rank Magical Beasts . Although Little Snow was only at the early third rank, an ordinary Tendon Transformation expert wouldn’t dare rashly attack him . Anyone who dared to attack Little Snow had to at least be at the mid Tendon Transformation realm .
Long Chen darkly walked forward a couple steps and saw more blood as well as a couple footprints .
“It wasn’t one person who attacked Little Snow, but three . ” Long Chen clenched his teeth looking at those footprints .
He was now incredibly worried . Little Snow wouldn’t take the initiative to attack others, so most likely he had now fallen into danger .
Suddenly Long Chen rushed forward a mile and saw a huge hole here . Within the hole were many marks of wolf claws .
“Little Snow was captured here . They most likely used a net to hobble him here . ” Long Chen took a deep breath, trying to maintain his cool calm . But he was simply unable to do that . His voice began to tremble and his killing intent involuntarily began to rise .
Tang Wan-er comforted, “They caught Little Snow alive, meaning Little Snow’s life won’t be in danger for now . They probably want Little Snow as a mount, so we still have time . ”
Long Chen nodded and carefully examined the markings . “This occured two days ago . Let’s search around and see if we can find anymore clues . ”
Tang Wan-er nodded . The two of them split up to search for any clues left behind .
After the time it took for an incense stick to burn, the two of them had already searched an area of five miles . Tang Wan-er shook her head, as she had found nothing .
After those people had captured Little Snow, they had used some sort of unknown tool to bring him away . There were no trails left behind .
“Did you find anything?” asked Tang Wan-er .
Long Chen beckoned with his hand, showing her a piece of clothing . “It was done by people from the monastery . This is from a law enforcer . ”
Tang Wan-er was startled . Carefully examining that cloth, she saw it was the torn cuff of a sleeve which still had part of the law enforcement’s insignia .
“Let’s go . I want to see just who had the nerve to do this . ”
Killing intent soared from Long Chen . This time he was truly infuriated . For them to scheme against Little Snow made him angrier than being stabbed himself .
Once he returned to the monastery, he directly returned to his immortal cave and summoned all the disciples who were cultivating .
He asked them all about what they had heard or seen . Quite a few of them had left the monastery in the past few days and might have seen some odd movements .
He also told Ye Zhiqiu, Song Mingyuan, Li Qi, and Luo Cang to tell their people to investigate .
Perhaps their disciples who were outside completing missions might have seen something . That was especially true of those disciples who were completing patrol missions on the borders of the monastery .
Ever since Little Snow had been the size of a palm, he had always been with him . He was like his own child, and he was unable to accept anything happening to him .
“Senior brother Long Chen, there’s someone outside looking for you . ” Suddenly a disciple ran over frantically .
Long Chen was delighted, thinking it was news of Little Snow . He was about to say something when a familiar voice rang out:
“Why are you guys so annoying? I want to see my brother Long, so don’t block me . ”
Although that person wasn’t purposely shouting, his voice was like a loud bell, shaking people’s eardrums .
Hearing that familiar voice, Long Chen was overjoyed and hastily rushed out his immortal cave . He saw over a dozen disciples attempting to block one person .
That person was already over three meters tall and huge muscles bulged all over his body, making him seem like an iron tower . At the same time, he was also like a volcano, filled with an explosive strength .
On his back was spiked club . The handle part of it was as thick as a person’s thigh while the head was the same width as a barrel .
Standing there, he looked like some terrible fiend with his incredible imposingness . Although there were over a dozen disciples facing him, their faces were all pale with terror .
Tang Wan-er was also frightened . This was the first time she had ever seen such a terrifying-looking person . He was at least a head taller than even Lei Qianshang, his arms as thick as barrels . His qi surged out shockingly, seeming like some kind of monstrous beast .
“Wilde!”
Long Chen looked at that giant with disbelief . He and Wilde had been separated for so long now .
