t a dull thud.Fang Yu took a step back."Bang!"The wooden plank where he had been standing shattered instantly, and a blood-soaked hand emerged from the wreckage."Run, run!" A pained roar came from ben...Soon, six creatures appeared in Fang Yu and Bai Ran's field of vision.

This is a quadrupedal creature that resembles an ape in appearance, but instead of fur, it is covered in dry yellow scales that match the color of the surrounding soil.

They stood with their hands hanging down, their heads oval-shaped, and on their faces were only two large eyes and a gaping mouth that showed half of a long tongue.

At first glance, it looks like a snake.

But with a gorilla-like stance, it is quite strange.

"What is this" Bai Ran frowned.

Fang Yu looked at the creature in front of him, also a little confused.

Thousands of years ago, he seemed to have seen beings similar to these, but not quite the same.

But judging by their similar appearance, we can tentatively classify them as belonging to the same category.

Eighth-order demon beast, Lizardman.

Considering the surrounding environment, it's quite fitting for this kind of monster to grow here.

"These people, were they killed by these monsters" Bai Ran questioned.

There is a possibility of this.

Guo Cuoyun, accompanied by four disciples, tracked the creature to this location and encountered an eighth-order monster. Naturally, they were no match for it.

But in Fang Yu's impression, the lizard demon people did not have the habit of devouring human internal organs.

However, these six creatures before us cannot be definitively identified as lizardfolk.

"Click..."

While Fang Yu and Bai Ran were thinking, six lizard-like demon creatures let out a piercing screech and charged!

They were incredibly fast, soaring away from the ground like a flash. In an instant, they arrived before Fang Yu and Bai Ran.

They extended their heads, just like venomous snakes hunting prey, aiming straight for Fang Yu and Bai Ran's necks with deadly precision!

"Mr. Fang, let me do it!"

Báirán's inner qi erupted, clenching his fist, ready to strike!

"Boom!"

Just then, Bai Ran only felt a gust of wind rise before him.

Six bizarre creatures that had just approached were blasted back, five of them together.

"Bang..."

The five creatures' heads burst apart as they flew backward, their emerald blood splattering everywhere.

Then, five mutilated bodies fell to the ground, rolling several times before coming to a standstill.

And the only surviving creature, was gripped by Fang Yu around the neck, struggling violently.

Fang Yu released his divine sense, scanning the creature's entire body, but he didn't find any unusual marks.

This way, it can be confirmed that these beings are not controlled by others.

As for whether they eat or not internal organs, this is something Fang Yu finds difficult to verify.

But after at least scanning it with his divine sense, Fang Yu did not find any internal organs in its stomach, nor did he detect a trace of human aura from its body.

That is to say, these creatures are very likely not related to the deaths of Guo Cuoyun and her group.

"Ha!"

Fang Yu's right hand ignited a blazing inferno, instantly reducing the creature in his grasp to ashes.

Then he stood there, stroking his chin in thought.

"That's right!"

Fang Yu remembered that Guo Cuicun had a magic artifact on her body that could track the location of the token.

Then, he immediately released his divine sense, searching the entire area.

Soon, he discovered a fist-sized white stone beside a fragment of wreckage in the distance.

Fang Yu stepped forward, picked up the stone stained with blood, held it in his hand, and poured true qi into its interior.

As expected, once the true energy entered the stone, it reacted!

This is the artifact!

Fang Yu grasped the stone, and could feel a faint aura emanating from it, pointing forward.

This must be the direction of Ling'er's token!

"Let's go," Fang Yu said to Bai Ran, who was standing there dumbfounded.

After that, Fang Yu retracted the vast celestial lamp from mid-air using the Void Spirit Ring and charged in the direction indicated by the stone in his hand.

Bai Ran came back to her senses and immediately followed.

……

Xi'an, is a very special metropolis.

It is located at the junction of the southwest and northwest regions, so it can be said that half of it is in the southwest and half in the northwest.

Because of this geographic location, it became the central city of both the southwest and northwest regions, belonging to both major regions.

Compared to inland and coastal areas, most parts of the southwest-northwest region lag far behind in development, even falling short of some remote small cities in the Huaibei-Jiangnan regions.

But Xidu, this place, is not inferior to any metropolis!

This is also why it can be integrated into the four directions of east, west, south, and north.

Fang Yu and Bai Ran sped all the way, it took nearly an hour to arrive at Xidu.

Standing on the bustling street, Bai Ran had a look of freshness on his face because it was his first time in Xidu.

While Fang Yu's brow was furrowed.

Because, the stone in my hand, having arrived at this place, was left without guidance.

Fang Yu released his divine sense, and then walked to a trash can beside the street. Under the astonished gaze of passersby, he reached into it.

Then, he retracted his hand, and in it lay a wooden token, identical to the one in Jiang Rolan's grasp.

This must be the token on Ling'er's body.

The reason why she might be in the trash can is that the old man who kidnapped her realized when he got here that Ling'er was carrying something that could be tracked...

No.

If this is when they discover the token, it means the old man who kidnapped Ling'er has never encountered Guo Cuicun and her four disciples chasing after him.

But Guo Cuoyun and her four disciples' tragic experiences, however, seem to confirm that they very likely caught up with the old man.

If the two sides have already met, that old man must know that Ling'er has something on her body that can be tracked. At that time, he should have thrown away the token. Since he didn't throw it away...it means that old man doesn't care about being tracked, because he has already killed Guo Cuoyun and others who were chasing him.

"Did you only throw away the token here because you were handing it off"

"He wanted to hand Ling'er over to someone else. To avoid unnecessary trouble, he thought of throwing away this token." Fang Yu analyzed in his heart.

But after analyzing a long passage, it's still not possible to guarantee that this is the case.

After all, that old man might have only discovered the token's existence when he got here and then hurriedly threw it away.

In the end, after reaching Xidu Street, the trail went cold.

Due to Xiadu simultaneously serving as the center of both the southwest and northwest regions, its territory is also extremely vast.

Finding Ling'er in the vast sea of people is extremely difficult, requiring a significant amount of time and there is a high possibility of it being futile.

"Damn it, why isn't the aura of each disciple embedded within the token" Fang Yu muttered to himself, looking at the token in his hand.

If there were traces of Ling'er's presence within the token, things wouldn't be so hopeless now.

"Two handsome guys, are you looking for someone"

Just then, a woman's voice sounded beside him.

Fang Yu looked up and saw a woman dressed in revealing attire, exposing a generous amount of her snowy shoulders and neck, walking towards him.

"You two don't look like locals, are you first-timers in Xidu" The alluring woman, with a cigarette between her right fingers, swept her sultry eyes over Fang Yu and Bai Ran, chuckling softly.

"Yes, we're here to find someone," Fang Yu nodded.

"Looking for someone You can tell me, maybe I can help." The glamorous woman took a drag of her cigarette and said as she blew out smoke.

"A girl, she was kidnapped by an old man who looked like a beggar..." Bai Ran didn't think much about it and spoke directly.

Fang Yu glanced at Bai Ran and said nothing.

Bái Rán had been trapped in the Li family for so many years that she never had the chance to contact the outside world. Naturally, she didn't understand human relationships, the complexities of life, and the darkness and danger that existed in the world.

Hearing Bai Ran's words, the alluring woman's eyes flickered, she licked her fiery red lips and said, "Girl...has she appeared around here"

"It should be…" Bai Ran glanced at Fang Yu, seeing no reaction from him, continued.

"That's easy enough. I have a brother who works as a bouncer at the tavern across the street. If that girl and the old man really did meet, he would have certainly noticed." The dazzling woman laughed.

"Really!" Bai Ran's face lit up with joy.

"Well, follow me. I'll take you to find him," the alluring woman said, turning around with a sinister gleam in her eyes.

But Bai Ran was beaming, saying to Yu Hao, "Mr. Fang, we're lucky...we might have some leads."

Fang Yu didn't say anything, watching the alluring woman's graceful and enchanting back, he followed after her.

Bai Ran also immediately followed.

A bewitching woman, accompanied by Fang Yu and Bai Ran, walked into the tavern across the street.
