Anping County is also under the capital, slightly further than Gaoling County. The group rode horses for more than an hour before they arrived.

The county government sent someone to help, and was the chief of the yamen named Zhang Yong.

After communicating the names, Liu Gu asked directly: "Can you have any traces of ferocious beasts?"

Zhang Yong said: "I have been looking for it these days, but I have found some traces. However, the ferocious beast is too strong and we dare not get too close. At present, we only know that it is mostly in the back mountain, so the specific location is not clear."

Liu Gu smiled: "Knowing the approximate location can save a lot of trouble and take us there."

"Yes, a few lords follow me." Zhang Yong bowed his order, turned over to the horse, and led everyone to the back mountain.

Li Xiuran asked casually while rushing to the road: "When did the ferocious beast appear in the county?"

Zhang Yong said: "It should be three days ago that a people were attacked by it while farming in the fields, and then they reported to the yamen."

Three days ago? Li Xiuran suddenly frowned slightly.

Seeing this, Chi Qingwan came over and asked in a low voice: "What's wrong? Is there any problem?"

"The ferocious beasts in the late stage of the Shenzang Realm, or even the peak, cannot be cultivated in a day or two. Why did they suddenly appear three days ago and cause disaster to the countryside?" Li Xiuran frowned.

Chi Qingwan was stunned and reacted, and said in confusion: "Yes, if you can cultivate to this level, the ferocious beast must have practiced for a long time. If you want to cause disaster, you should have caused disaster. Why did you start to hurt people three days ago? This is indeed a bit strange."

Yang Wenxin also frowned, obviously realizing that something was wrong.

Yan Cheng sneered: "What's strange about it? The ferocious beast is alive, not a dead thing. Maybe he just came to Anping recently, maybe he was really a fuss."

Li Xiuran glanced at him: "Anping is the hinterland of the capital, and there are heavy troops guarding every level along the way. It is a ferocious beast in the late stage of the Shenzang Realm, or even the peak. Do you think it can break in quietly?

If the ferocious beast was under the control of the capital, why hadn't he ever received any cases of it hurting people before?

Such an obvious doubt, if you pass the brain, you should be able to discover it, or... you have no brain at all?"

"you!"

Yan Cheng's face was gloomy in an instant, but he could not refute it, so he could only glar at Li Xiuran with a fierce and resentful look.

Liu Gu said lightly: "This statement makes some sense, but the ferocious beasts cannot act according to common sense. We are only responsible for removing it. If we don't care about the others, it is useless to think too much. I'd better think about how to find it later and get rid of it."

While talking, the group had already arrived at the back mountain.

Zhang Yong pointed to the front and said, "Sir, this is the back mountain."

The mountain is not very high, and it looks only a few dozen meters at most, but it has several consecutive mountains and is quite large in area.

There were yamen runners guarding the outside from afar. When they saw Zhang Yong coming, they immediately came over.

Zhang Yong asked, "Has the ferocious beast ever gone down the mountain to leave?"

"I haven't seen it."

Zhang Yong looked at Liu Gu and said, "Sir, I have arranged people to guard the mountain at the foot of the mountain. Since I have never seen the ferocious beast leave, it is probably still in the mountain at this moment."

Liu Gu nodded, looked at the rolling back mountain in front of him and said, "It's quite big, it's a waste of time to search together, so let's search separately.

If you find the trace of a ferocious beast, immediately send a signal to the location, and the others rushed over and teamed up to get rid of it. How about it?"

As he said that, he looked at Xu Feng and Yang Wenxin.

The former echoed: "That's all, I'll take someone to search the left."

Yang Wenxin also nodded: "I'll search the right side."

"Then I'll search the front." Liu Gu smiled, then waved his hand: "Enter the mountain!"

The group of men and soldiers divided into three groups and entered the back mountain.

It just rained last night, and the mountain road was a little muddy, and it was just autumn, and the grass and trees were still lush. There should not be many people entering the mountain on weekdays. There was only a small path, which was very difficult to walk on.

Li Xiuran and Yang Wenxin, Chi Qingwan could only walk on the mud and wield her knife to get through the road and struggled to move forward.

Chi Qingwan was still thinking about what happened just now, and looked at Li Xiuran while walking and asked, "Did you think of anything? Why did the ferocious beast suddenly appear here to commit murder?"

"There are too few clues, and the ferocious beast first appeared in the east of the city, then went to the south of the city to cause trouble, and finally came to the back mountain. There was no doubt on the trajectory, and it was difficult to judge for the time being." Li Xiuran shook his head.

Chi Qingwan guessed: "Did you think it discovered some treasure, so it suddenly appeared, with the purpose of taking the treasure?"

If you read too many novels, you... Li Xiuran glanced at her: "If it came for treasure hunting, why would it harm people? Will it be any good for alarming the government?

A ferocious beast that can cultivate to the realm of Shenzang is not low in wisdom, so will he do such unwise things?"

"Maybe it's for the sake of confidentiality?"

"Then it also needs to know where the baby is first. Can you see this from its trajectory?"

Chi Qingwan was speechless immediately. The ferocious beasts went from the east to the south of the city, and then to the back mountain, and the trajectory was scattered, and there was no way to see any purpose.

"stop!"

Yang Wenxin suddenly spoke, then squatted down, and a huge footprint was clearly left on the ground.

Chi Qingwan's eyes lit up: "Two feet long and more than one foot wide. Such a large claw mark must have been left by the Red Flame Tiger."

"The claw prints are still very fresh, they should have been left for a while, and it is likely to be nearby." Li Xiuran judged.

Yang Wenxin looked around and saw a few more footprints in front, and said in a deep voice: "Let's take a look at the front, be careful."

Li Xiuran and Chi Qingwan were energetic. As soon as they were about to touch Yang Wenxin along the footprints, they heard a sound of breaking through the air from the side suddenly sounding, roaring towards the three of them.

The three of them all changed their faces and turned around quickly, and saw a tall fiery red beast shadow coming into their eyes.

The beast's shadow is nearly two meters high and more than three meters long. It looks like a giant figure, with red hair on its body as if it is about to burn under the sunlight. It is extremely strange and roars towards the three of them and rushes at a very fast speed.

Is this the Red Flame Tiger? A little shock flashed in Li Xiuran's eyes, and then he heard Yang Wenxin's urgent reminder coming from the side: "Be careful!"

The Red Flame Tiger was so fast that it almost blinked and rushed towards the three of them, and rushed directly to Li Xiuran, who was standing on the edge. It was so fast that it almost left him no reaction time. A huge tiger claw quickly magnified in front of him and slapped directly at his head.

Li Xiuran's face changed drastically. He had no time to dodge and could only barely avoid the vital points, but his left shoulder was still hit hard by this claw.

A huge force poured down from the tiger's claws in an instant. Li Xiuran felt like he was hit by a car. The huge impact force directly knocked him back and a severe pain came from his shoulder.

With one blow, Chi Yanhu did not stop and immediately rushed towards Chi Qingwan.

With time reaction this time, Yang Wenxin blocked her directly, drew a knife and slashed at him, and shouted:

"Send a signal and invite others to come!"
