Chapter 115: Investigation (2)

It was a sroup of Ferocious Race soldiers

They were all wearing felt caps and thick hides The frozen ground crackled and snapped underneath their feet

With but a glance, Su Chen immediately identified these Ferocious Race individuals as not frole Tribe did not have a habit of wearing felt caps They preferred theirs to beout the cold and would freeze more easily

If they weren’t local Ferocious Race soldiers, then ould they be here?

As he considered all this, Su Chen didn’t leave Instead, he found a tree that hadn’t completely fallen over yet and hid behind it

The faraway Ferocious Race soldiers gradually approached It was obvious that they were a trained group, and the leader of the group was covered in darkly colored inscriptions Obviously, he had quite the high social status, and was roughly equivalent in strength to a Yang Opening Realh his style of attack was probably very sihtforward, his poas definitely extraordinary The Ferocious Race leader was even e that he was also probably a Te to be a bit troublesoin Qi Scholar, and one with an incredibly strong physique at that

Unlike humans, Ferocious Race individuals were primarily body cultivators

They relied on Totemic Inscriptions, which were split into four different tiers that corresponded to the Origin Energy syste Realher; in other words, if a Ferocious Race inividual relied solely on their syste Realy Temple they could also obtain a cultivation systeress fro Realm in a more traditional sense

However, these Ferocious Race y Temple every tih-tier Origin Qi Scholars ay Temple in Energy Te that the Teht Manifestation Realm at most, and never the Ultiin Energy poas supported by their incredibly powerful physique Since the Temple Warriors were cultivated both systeh the restrictions of their physique after reaching the Thought Manifestation Realm and achieve harmony between the two cultivation systeht Manifestation cultivation, they could absolutely fight against an Ultiin Qi Scholar

The Temple Warrior before him had quite well-developed inscriptions, and it was very likely he had been baptized in the Temple before Su Chen just didn’t kno many tioing to be a handful, and that was not even considering the seven or eight Ferocious Race soldiers behind hiroup of soldiers It was even possible they were a group that focused on secret operations group, Su Chen thought to himself

He noticed that one of the Ferocious Race individual’s eyes were clearly different, as they were gloith a strange green color

A Clairvoyant

Clairvoyants weren’t produced by the Divine Shrine; instead, the army had to use a secret skill to train theuises

Su Chen’s disguise would be very difficult to maintain in front of the Clairvoyant

The Ferocious Race had few individuals with specialized professions, and Clairvoyants were no exception Aations units had a Clairvoyant in every teaned one

A high-tier Totemic Inscription Temple Warrior and a Clairvoyant? Without a doubt, the Ferocious Race tearoup

What would an elite investigations unit be doing all the way out here?

It couldn’t be…

A feeling of unease began to surface in Su Chen’s heart At the same time, he concealed himself in Shadow Substance — he wasn’t confident that he would be able to trick the Clairvoyant

The small Ferocious Race squad finally arrived at the scene of the Yellow Dragon Forest

The Ferocious Race captain waved his hand, and the Clairvoyant stepped forwards, scanning the surroundings of the forest quickly

After searching the place, he said, “The fire happened about fifteen days ago It’s not easy to start a fire in the Peron Forest is even harder to ignite, but it still happened The ashes indicate that the source of the fire was Origin Energy related In other words, this fire wasn’t a coincidence — someone set it ablaze on purpose There were also in for the fire, at least thirty of thein for the fire?” the Ferocious Race captain asked

“Yes!” the Clairvoyant responded with confidence “Theis that because of how cold this place is, most of the ash has frozen over, but from the amount of ash left behind we can tell that not many of the trees were actually burned down See”

The Clairvoyant pushed aside a pile of ash, revealing the tree trunk underneath “There’s traces of an axe-slice,that they were most likely felled before the fire was started”
