The End of the Extreme Dao: I Planted a Sacred Tree and Gained Immortality

Chapter 63 Clues
"Wang Haisheng?"

Huo Ying called out tentatively, but it was still surprisingly quiet inside.

Huo Ying frowned, drew out his Yang Dao, walked to the front of the room, and gently pushed the door open.

The door didn't move; it was locked from the inside.

Huo Ying used Wood Release to create a key.

The door opened.

The house looks big from the outside, but the usable area is not large and it is essentially still an apartment.

There were only two simple pieces of furniture inside: a bed and a table, and a skeleton.

The skeleton was shiny and smooth, as if it had been licked. I wonder if it was Wang Haisheng.

Huo Ying checked the room. On the table, there was a wooden candle made of poplar wood. It had only burned a little. Huo Ying picked it up and took a look. The candle was very new and was not placed very close. It should have been extinguished last night.

After searching again, Huo Ying picked up a stone from the ground. This was the stone that Wang Haisheng used at Ailing the day before. He used this stone to write. Because he was too excited, he subconsciously brought it back.

"He didn't turn into a corpse ghost. The wood wax went out. So, Wang Haisheng was eaten by the black fog and black bugs."

Huo Ying carefully checked the room. He didn't believe that Wang Haisheng would die so easily. How could a person who had lived in Ailing Town for many years be so stupid to be eaten by the easiest flying insects to deal with, especially after contacting him.

But who killed Wang Haisheng?

Wang Haisheng's door was locked tightly, with no signs of being opened. There were few items in the room, and it was obvious that he lived alone. If Wang Haisheng died during the day, how could the wax be ignited? Who would ignite the wax, kill Wang Haisheng, and then extinguish it?
If Wang Haisheng died at night and was gnawed to a skeleton by flying insects, then who could have acted at night, killed Wang Haisheng and left safely at night? If the person who killed Wang Haisheng was so powerful, why did he extinguish the candle and let Wang Haisheng be eaten by flying insects?

Huo Ying sat on the chair, tapping the table lightly with his fingers.

Using black bugs to eat Wang Haisheng proved that the man was not that powerful, because a powerful person would not need to think too hard to kill someone. Just like Huo Ying wanted to kill the corpse ghost now, he could just rush in and hack at it, there was no need to make it so complicated.

Huo Ying checked the house again. The walls were solid and the windows were nailed shut with poplar wood and nails, leaving only tiny gaps. There was no sign of damage.

After observing for a long time, Huo Ying's eyes stopped on the nail, then he turned and looked at Wang Haisheng's skeleton.

Before he died, he should have realized that the black bugs would not eat him all in an instant. I wonder if he left any clues for me.

Huo Ying looked at the skeleton carefully, and finally, he found Wang Haisheng's skeleton, tilting his head back hard.

"When you are in pain, you will just curl up and look up. This must be the hint Wang Haisheng gave me."

Huo Ying followed the gaze of Wang Haisheng's skeleton and found a wall. There was nothing else on the wall except an old calendar hanging on it.

The calendar was not from this year, but Wang Haisheng used it as if it was from this year.

I flipped through the calendar from beginning to end, and there was nothing clipped inside, nor any words written on it.

Huo Ying closed his eyes, rubbed his head, and looked again.

The calendar cover has the words "Ailing Town" written on it, and it seems to be distributed by the town to residents.

There is no writing on the first few pages of the calendar, and only in the middle part do handwriting appear.

The first handwriting was a crooked wavy line. It seemed that the person who drew this line was very frightened. He wanted to write something but didn't dare to.

Next, a circle was drawn on each of the following pages, with a vertical line next to the circle representing the sun, and the word "clear" written in the center of the circle.

No. 1, sun, clear weather...

No. 2, sun, clear weather...

Sunny, clear...clear...

There were pictures of the sun and the word "sunny" written on all the pages.

Huo Ying's heart skipped a beat, and then he threw the calendar on the dry bones, sighing, "Forget it, I don't know what you are hiding, but considering that we have known each other for a while, I will see you off for the last time."

Huo Ying lit the candles on the table and started burning from the calendar. Soon, the fire engulfed Wang Haisheng's body, and soon the house also caught fire.

Huo Ying left in silence. Wang Haisheng contacted him and then was killed. Even the zombie riot did not stop the people who killed Wang Haisheng. What was hidden in this small town?

Moreover, the fact that Wang Haisheng was killed so quickly proved that Wang Haisheng had been watched by someone and Wang Haisheng had not noticed it. Then what about himself? Was someone watching him?

Still need to improve progress.

I don't know if the Destroyer's eggs can improve progress.

Huo Ying passed by the Civic Center again. The collapsed wall had been dug up halfway. Huo Zhaohui and his family should have gone to rest, and no one was guarding the rubble.

Huo Ying walked through the civic center without changing his expression until he turned a corner. After making sure that there was no one around, Huo Ying slowly leaned against the wall.

Earth escape and diving in the earth.

Huo Ying's body instantly melted into the wall, and then sank into the ground like diving. The solid ground became liquid for Huo Ying. Huo Ying tried to swim and approach the civic center from underground.

"The progress of the sacred tree is not enough. Using this kind of ninjutsu with such a big change in nature consumes chakra too quickly." Huo Ying crawled out of the mud. He had already swam into the civic center, lit a torch, and looked around.

The Civic Center was smashed from the top to the bottom, and the partitions between the three floors were all smashed through. A large amount of rubble pressed down the Civic Center, leaving only a small space on the first floor.

Huo Zhaohui and his family have already dug through one layer, but it will still take most of the day to dig to Huo Ying's place.

Using the torch to illuminate the area, Huo Ying saw three huge stone balls in front of him.

Boom, boom.

It was extremely quiet under the ruins, so quiet that you could hear the faint heartbeat inside the stone ball.

Huo Ying raised his mechanical arm and knocked on the stone ball.

The stone ball is extremely hard, almost the same as Huo Ying who has used hardening. Bullets will definitely not be able to hurt the stone ball at all. At least a missile must be needed to blow up the outer layer of defense.

“There’s something wrong with this family.”

Huo Ying sighed. The small town of Ailing was so chaotic. Huo Ying didn't dare to get close to the Blue Gene Factory at all. Among the few remaining living people, Luna was always staring at him. Hu Caigen and He Lili had infectious diseases. This seemingly ordinary family of three was so terrifying.

Since the three of them knew the secret of the Destroyer's egg-laying, they must also know that the Destroyer's eggs have strong defensive power. Even so, they still have the confidence to kill the eggs, which just proves that the three of them have extremely strong destructive power.

The defense of the stone ball is similar to Huo Ying's hardness. In other words, these three people can kill the insect eggs, and they can also break Huo Ying's defense and kill Huo Ying.

"There's one more group of people we need to watch out for."

Huo Ying created poplar wood, transformed it into a spear, pressed it against the stone ball, and then lightning flashed and the spear burned.

Earth escape technique: swamp escape technique.

The essence of the stone ball is hard soil, and as long as it is soil, Huo Ying can control it.
