Chapter 24, tracking entries, 1 more.
Three poles in the sun.
Within Taihu County.
On Shunhe Street, a seemingly ordinary horse-drawn carriage drove by.
On the carriage.
Lin Zhou sat by the window. Besides him, there were Li Sui and Li Suifeng in the carriage, as well as the old man with the hunchback and black clothes that he had seen at the Jin Yu Restaurant last night. The old man's name was Wu Shan, and he was a martial arts master.
Two martial arts masters, one at the early stage of the Meridian Opening realm, would easily defeat a demonic sect disciple who had retreated into hiding.
"Go to the left ahead."
Lin Zhou spoke up.
"Yes, Pharmacist Lin."
The coachman quickly responded.
Inside the carriage, Wu Shan stared curiously at Lin Zhou by the window. In all his years, he had never seen anyone with such a keen sense of smell. If Lin Zhou had cultivated some kind of technique to enhance his sense of smell, wouldn't he have reached an even higher level?
Such talented individuals are highly sought after by major sects within the prefecture, who would be happy to recruit them if they are deemed worthy of cultivation.
It can be said that any martial artist would envy someone like Lin Zhou, who possesses an extraordinary talent.
Lin Zhou, on the other hand, remained calm and composed.
The first demonic disciple was blasted to pieces by him using his fire-breathing ability.
Even if he encounters another disciple of the demonic path, he can use the same method.
The only thing that worried Lin Zhou was the Hundred Gu Sect behind these demonic disciples. As a demonic sect within the prefecture city, if these disciples were to perish in Taihu County, and they were to send even more powerful individuals to Taihu County afterward, things would not go well.
"They've arrived."
The familiar check-in panel appeared before my eyes.
Silently sign in.
[Check-in successful]
[Level 1 entry obtained, follow!]
[Tracking: By visualizing a person's face, identity, and other information in your mind, you can obtain their approximate location. Due to the level limitation of this skill, the level of the person being tracked will not be displayed if it exceeds the Meridian Opening stage.]
"This effect..."
A hint of surprise appeared in Lin Zhou's eyes.
This tracking capability is indeed ridiculously strong.
It is many times stronger than the tracking ability that comes from my enhanced sense of smell.
Replacement entry, Level 1 tracking.
[Entry Position: Level 1 Tracking]
The moment the entry takes effect.
Lin Zhou's mind immediately conjured up the face of the person who had tried to harm him last night, the clothes the person was wearing, and the strange disease with blood-eyed black hair that had recently emerged outside Taihu County.
They all started reminiscing.
"I am searching for the person who accompanied the Hundred Poisons Sect and Demonic Sect disciples who attacked me last night."
Lin Zhou pondered in his heart.
The next moment, a red arrow appeared in his line of sight. Only he could see this arrow. It hovered half a step in front of him and pointed in one of the directions.
"This tracking entry is amazing!!"
Lin Zhou instantly felt more confident; this was much better than anything derived from the enhanced sense of smell.
After all, enhancing one's sense of smell isn't just about locking onto a single scent. When exploring, countless aromas from all directions flood the nose, and if one were to spend an entire day searching within the city, one would certainly not feel comfortable.
He would never have agreed so easily if it weren't for the two thousand contribution points promised by Sect Master Li Sui.
He hadn't used the two thousand contribution points that Sect Leader Li Sui had given him before, but now he had two more, bringing his total to four thousand.
Before this.
Lin Zhou also inquired about the two maids who served him. They only received one contribution point per month, but they were still content with that.
After all, contribution points in the sect are very hard to earn. Many servants and ordinary disciples receive monthly wages and cannot earn a single contribution point.
As a mid-level pharmacist under Li Sui, the sect leader, he receives a monthly salary plus forty contribution points.
Moreover, a junior pharmacist only has ten contribution points.
"Continue to the left ahead."
With the arrow pointing the way, Lin Zhou was able to navigate the carriage much more quickly.
Finally, they arrived at Donghe Street, a remote area in Taihu County. Although the Donghe River beside this street had not yet dried up, its water level was much lower than before due to the drought.
It's almost empty.
If this river didn't flow down from the Wushan Mountains in the north, there wouldn't be a single drop of water in it.
"This is Donghe Street."
"Now, even in the remote Donghe Street, there are many more people than before. Many of the disaster victims who were deemed useful by the county government or who were selected by some small and medium-sized sects have been settled here."
At this moment, Li Suifeng, inside the carriage, looked at the streets on the carriage and saw many more gaunt figures appearing, a hint of anticipation in his eyes.
At the same time, Li Suifeng looked at Lin Zhou with a hint of curiosity.
If we can really find the residence of an ordinary disciple of the demonic path on Donghe Street, then Lin Zhou is indeed a genuine talent. If such a person were to join the Divine Arresting Sect...
With Lin Zhou's nose under his nose, who among the Divine Arrest Bureau's missions to track down wanted criminals could escape?
They walked several hundred more steps.
"stop."
"It's the house right in front."
Lin Zhou looked at the red arrow in front of him that only he could see. Before that, he had changed the entry for enhanced sense of smell. There was indeed a strange smell of that blood-eyed black disease in the surroundings.
The sound came from the dilapidated courtyard in front of them.
"Old Wu!"
"Let's go in together."
A murderous intent flashed in Li Sui's eyes, and his aura instantly transformed, emanating an astonishing pressure.
In an instant, Sect Leader Li Sui moved like a rabbit, leaping out of the carriage. Old Wu, with his hooked nose and black clothes, followed closely behind. The two martial arts masters jumped over the wall and entered the courtyard.
At this moment, Li Suifeng got off the carriage and drew his sword, standing guard around the carriage.
A pair of sharp, eagle-like eyes stared intently at the courtyard where Li Sui and the others had entered.
A few breaths later.
The sounds of fighting immediately filled the courtyard.
"That scoundrel of the demonic path is courting death!!"
The angry shouts of Sect Leader Li Sui could be heard from within, like the roar of a tiger. The sound came from the dilapidated courtyard, and after the commotion, pedestrians on the nearby streets scattered in all directions.
Many of them were disaster victims and were quite familiar with this situation.
On the way to escape, one will encounter many battles.
The first reaction is always to stay away.
A dozen or so breaths later.
The fighting suddenly stopped.
The next moment, the courtyard gate opened from the inside, and Li Sui and Old Wu came out. Old Wu was carrying a masked man in black, whose mouth was sealed shut, so he couldn't utter a single word.
At this time.
The red arrow pointing at the masked man in black suddenly changed direction, pointing towards the end of the street.
"There's one more?"
Lin Zhou immediately realized what was going on.
