I became the demon of the female devil

Chapter 52: Digging Red Sand Privately! The Demon Clan Appears! (Please Read)

It was late at night and all was quiet except for the occasional chirping of insects.

A corner of the dark clouds was torn apart, and the bright moonlight leaked down like mercury, outlining the undulating contours of the wilderness.

Lin Jingzhu was wearing a nightgown, with a veil covering her face, and her black and white eyes were somewhat resentful.

"Mr. Chen, although you are the chief investigator of the case, I also have the right to know at least, right?"

"They acted secretly without telling us, are they afraid that we will steal their credit?"

Chen Mo didn't answer.

After sensing it carefully, he felt wind and thunder surging around him and flew towards the west like lightning.

Lin Jingzhu snorted, and frost condensed under his feet. He walked in the air and followed him closely.

Two figures crossed the night sky, and Chen Mo said:
"The city has been in a state of panic recently. The person behind the scenes will definitely be more cautious. Any rash action will only alert the enemy. We can only wait for him to reveal his true intentions."

Lin Jingzhu frowned slightly and said:
"In other words, you knew that Zhou Jing'an had problems and had been secretly monitoring him? You wouldn't have kept it from us..."

Chen Mo shook his head and said:
"There are spies in the Tianlin Guards, how clean can the Six Gates be?"

"I believe in Captain Lin's character, but there is no such thing as a wall that is impenetrable. It's always better to be cautious."

Because of this, he did not send the yamen runners to follow, but chose the more covert paper man.

During this period of time, he ignored the case in order to paralyze Chu Zhuo and let Zhou Jingan completely relax his vigilance.

Lin Jingzhu knew that what Chen Mo said made sense, and if she were in his shoes, she would choose to do the same.

The resentment in his heart disappeared immediately, and he apologized: "I was in a hurry just now and said something wrong. I hope you won't blame me."

She understands the principle of admitting one's mistakes and standing firm even when being beaten.

Chen Mo smiled and said nothing.

He doesn't care about any merit, the most important thing is to complete the task assigned by the queen.

However, he always felt that there seemed to be some connection between the demon clan murder case and the Zhou family's private mining...

The atmosphere was quiet for a moment, and Chen Mo asked suddenly, "How many days has Captain Lin been watching me?"

Lin Jingzhu was a little embarrassed and whispered, "Including today, it's a total of four days and five nights."

?

Chen Mo glanced at her in surprise.

This woman had been hiding around the Chen residence for so long, and he didn't even notice it?
"The technique I practice is quite special. It can suppress my breathing and heartbeat to the lowest level, allowing me to stay awake for days on end. In addition, I can also hide and change my form. Even if my spiritual sense scans, it is difficult to find any abnormalities." Lin Jingzhu explained.

Chen Mo suddenly realized that it was equivalent to turning on the power saving mode.

Thinking of her black ice armor that was as hard as gold and stone, he thought: This Nine Revolutions Ice Soul Technique is truly mysterious, and it is worthy of being a technique that can be used in the late stages of "Absolute Immortal".

The conditions for practicing this technique are extremely harsh. It requires drawing extremely cold air into the body to temper the meridians, tendons and bones. Ordinary warriors will get frostbite if they cannot persist for a whole cycle.

Lin Jingzhu has a natural physique that is extremely resistant to cold, so she doesn't have to worry about this. It's as if it was tailor-made for her.

The two flew westward at full speed for an hour.

During this period, Lin Jingzhu had to take out spirit stones to replenish her true energy, but Chen Mo was full of energy and showed no signs of fatigue at all, which made her estimate of Chen Mo's strength even higher.

Before we knew it, we arrived at a huge mountain range.

Xihuang Mountain is like a giant beast lying on the earth, with its rolling hills covered with dense forests.

The dense branches and leaves are stacked layer upon layer, and they make a rustling sound like waves when blown by the night wind.

call--

Two figures landed on the ground as lightly as falling leaves.

Chen Mo gestured to the left, Lin Jingzhu nodded, and the two of them moved silently through the dense forest.

Along the way, he always kept a distance of nearly 100 feet from the two men in black, so as not to alarm them and at the same time not to exceed the range of his spiritual sense.

Suddenly, Chen Mo frowned.

The aura of those two people disappeared out of thin air!
He quickened his pace and arrived at a valley deep in the dense forest.

The place was overgrown with weeds and thorns, and the atmosphere disappeared. There was not even a single person around. "Lost?"

Lin Jingzhu was about to go forward to search, but was stopped by Chen Mo.

He looked at the stubborn rocks and thorns in front of him, thought for a moment, and then walked forward with strange steps and an erratic figure.

Lin Jingzhu seemed to understand something, and followed in his footsteps, closely following behind him.

After walking a few hundred steps, the road ahead was blocked and a rock wall stood in front of them.

Chen Mo stretched out his hand and pressed on the stone wall.

A faint light, like a thin line, lit up from top to bottom.

Boom——

With a low muffled sound, a crack appeared in the middle of the rock wall and slowly opened to both sides like a door.

Looking at the deep cave in front of him, Lin Jingzhu was stunned.

"Master Chen, do you also know the formation?"

"Understood."

"..."

Chen Mo is only a young man, but he has already reached the sixth level of martial arts and has such attainments in formation... Could it be that this person has been practicing since his mother's womb?

Lin Jingzhu looked at him as if he was a monster.

"Let's go."

Chen Mo raised his legs and walked into the cave.

The stone steps meander downwards, and the surrounding rock walls are embedded with fluorite, which can barely illuminate the way ahead.

I don't know how long I walked, but I heard the faint sound of metal clashing ahead.

Clang——Clang——

When they reached the end of the stone steps and saw the scene before them, they were stunned.

I saw that the entire interior of the mountain was almost hollowed out, forming a huge cave nearly 100 meters high!

Rows of iron wood support the mountain walls, and a large number of inclined alleys and vertical shafts have been opened up up, down, left and right, crisscrossing like a honeycomb!
Black and red ore was embedded in the rock wall, and a group of skinny miners were wielding pickaxes to dig at it.

They have empty eyes and expressionless faces, like tireless machines.

"This is red sand mine!"

"The Zhou family is actually mining red sand privately!"

Lin Jingzhu's pupils contracted and he exclaimed in a low voice.

In Chen Mo's memory, this red sand is also known as flame sand. It burns when it encounters fire and is the key raw material for making "fiery powder"! It is strictly controlled by the court and listed as one of the banned items!

"Is the incendiary powder gunpowder? No, it's much more powerful than gunpowder..."

"I originally thought that the Zhou family was privately mining spiritual mines, but I didn't expect that they were actually digging red sand? Are they planning a rebellion? Bombing the palace?"

Chen Mo's thoughts were in a mess.

The Zhou family wants to rebel, but they don’t have the strength to do so. So what is the reason for doing so?
Lin Jingzhu's eyes were cold. "Privately digging red sand is tantamount to treason. The Zhou family is so bold!"

I originally came here to investigate the demon clan, but unexpectedly I got involved in a big case!
"We must report this matter to the Ministry of Justice as soon as possible and seal off the Zhou family immediately to prevent the criminal from escaping..."

Suddenly, a cold wind blew, making people feel cold all over.

Lin Jingzhu frowned.

This is deep underground, how can there be wind?

The next moment, a thick and foul aura enveloped the two of them, and she suddenly felt her energy stagnant, as if she had been poisoned by cartilage powder!
Chen Mo was very familiar with this breath——

"Demon!"
