After the immortal disappeared

It's also amazing that it can fly upside down under such circumstances.

He Lingchuan got annoyed and fired three flying knives.

The crow leader nimbly dodged two of the knives, but the third one pierced his wing and nailed him to the wall with a "snatch" sound!

The crows were noisy outside the window, and the dozen or so crows wanted to break through the window and come in to rescue the leader.

However, a muscular figure came over the wall from outside, spread its wings with a brush, and reached out to the crows with its steel claws.

The natural enemies are coming.

The crows were frightened and fled in all directions.

He Lingchuan opened the window again, and the goshawk folded its wings and turned over, and gently and skillfully slipped in from the bottom of the window.

It stood on the cabinet shelf, only a foot away from the crow leader, and its steel beak could pierce its head with a single extension.

And it seems willing to do so.

No matter how noisy the crowd of crows outside was, He Lingchuan only said to the crow leader: "Now, would you like to offer me another price?"

"No, no!" The crow leader was no longer willing to give in. He was frightened when he saw the eagle's beak beside him, "I'm telling you!"

It croaked twice, and the crows outside became quiet, fell off the trees one after another, and stopped being restless.

He Lingchuan took less than a dozen breaths to clean up the crows, very neatly.

"About five or six days ago, my children found many remains in the mountains and forests, both human and animal." The crow leader said, "In other words, they may be monsters."

"You know, it's not surprising to find the remains of humans or monsters alone, it's weird when they are mixed together." It continued, "There are several wind beasts in there."

"where?"

"Zhitian Township, thirty-two miles away." The crow leader tilted his head. "It was originally buried, but it seems that it was dug up again by wild dogs. Because there are dog paw prints in the nearby soil."

"Can you lead the way?"

"Can."

He Lingchuan pulled out the flying knife and asked it again: "Since you have this clue, why don't you report it to the government instead of just sitting and watching Pockmarked Wang wait to die?"

"Who would push out the meat that is close to the mouth?" The crow leader flapped his wings, feeling like he could still fly, "Let's talk about the government... Haha!"

It sneered: "Xiao Qi also disappeared half a year ago. We went to report it to the officials, but the county magistrate still hasn't given us a reply. They only do things for humans and never care whether we live or die!"

The county town of Bega Kingdom has a special official position called the county magistrate, who specializes in handling monster affairs, including complaints, accusations, etc.

The county magistrate himself is served by a monster, so he can compare his feelings with his own.

"You also have a companion here who disappeared half a year ago?" He Lingchuan's eyes moved slightly, "Have you become a monster?"

"It has become a demon." The crow boss answered truthfully, "It was thanks to the Emperor's Liquid Formation at the end of last year."

"The emperor's ointment has become a life-threatening talisman." He Lingchuan hummed, "These guys specialize in catching monsters. If you don't get rid of them, you will all be in danger."

This is a country of monsters, but there are people who are so bold as to capture monsters here?

Once exposed, it would be a near-death experience.

"Specializes in catching monsters?" The crow leader flapped his wings, "Don't lie to me, don't they also eat people?"

This guy is really hard to fool. He Lingchuan did not argue with it, and changed the subject: "Lead the way for me, and be my spy. As a reward, you can receive one hundred kilograms of fresh beef and mutton every month, and thirty Baoling Pills, which will continue to be supplied for one year." .”

If he had said this before taking action, the crow leader would have just laughed at his wishful thinking; but now, it seems that the conditions are quite good. When food is scarce in winter, there is fresh beef and mutton to eat, and there is no need to plow through the snow to find food. It's quite a blessing to peck at unripe berries without looking for frozen corpses everywhere...

"It's a deal!" It handed the feather that was knocked off by the flying knife to He Lingchuan as a token of its promise.

Ever since the Sanxinyuan incident, He Lingchuan had not had a good impression of Crow. He was really a greedy and snobbish opportunist. But he also had to admit that crows' eyes and ears were everywhere.

He even heard that there was a crow army in Lingxu City that specialized in spying on intelligence.

With this group of leading thieves, He Lingchuan immediately set off for Zhitian Township.

…

Zhitian Township is thirty miles northwest of Shuangyi Town.

Along the way, He Lingchuan found that there were fewer and fewer crop fields on the roadside, replaced by various crops and herbs.

"Huh?" He pointed to the field on the roadside and asked, "Is that Ganoderma lucidum?"

Doesn’t Ganoderma lucidum grow under the roots of trees? Why does it grow like wheat on the ridges here?

"This is Zhitian Township." Tiger Jiao Yu was also sitting in the car, explaining to He Lingchuan while looking at the scenery, "They use cut wood to grow Ganoderma lucidum."

Yes, Zhitian Township is famous for growing spiritual grass in the central and northern part of Chiyan, which is evident from its name.

"The local atmosphere is particularly suitable for the growth of elixirs. Thirty percent of the conventional medicinal herbs in Chiyan come from here." Jiao Yu stretched out. The interior of the carriage was small and not enough for him to stretch his limbs.

He Lingchuan simply leaned on it and used it as a tiger-skin armchair. Oops, so comfortable! It is also self-heating and vibrating.

"Especially around some hot springs, the medicinal materials grown are unique in Chiyan."

Supplying 30% of Chiyan Country’s medicinal materials, that’s a very high market share.

While talking, the carriage passed by a large shed, which at least looked like a large shed to He Lingchuan. That is to use bamboo wood as a frame, cover it with linen, and then apply putty to keep it warm.

The Yuan Kingdom does not have this kind of technology, so Bega has a lot of new things.

"What is this?" he asked shamelessly.

"Shack." Jiao Yu replied, "Put burning stones inside to keep medicinal herbs warm."

The so-called hot stone is a rock that can heat itself. Pile a few ladles of water in the corner of the room to ensure it is as hot as a sauna.

He Lingchuan smiled and said: "It's midsummer now. If you add heat to keep warm, aren't you afraid that the herbs will become dehydrated?"

"Spirit grasses like Huoyunzhu and Dragon Flame Column originally lived in volcanic craters. If they are to be transplanted to flat ground, they need to be kept warm." They cannot survive without a constant temperature above fifty degrees. "But you are right. , this kind of shed is also used to dehydrate and dry medicinal materials.”

He Lingchuan smiled and said: "Master Jiao can actually count all the family treasures?"

Jiao Yu made no secret of it: "I worked as a cadre in a neighboring county for several years, and I am familiar with all the towns and villages here."

He was promoted to General Zuo Zhonglang and practiced here for a period of time before being promoted.

He Lingchuan understood. Fu Shanyue really sent him a good helper. Not only was he powerful in force, he was also familiar with the human affairs in this area, which made it easier for him to communicate with other places.

Sure enough, no one who can become the crown prince is a good bird, no, no one is a real fool.

The goshawk sat on the roof of the car, and the crow was afraid of it, so he had no choice but to sit on his horse and show the driver the way.

He Lingchuan did not expect General Ling to follow him again, but this time he only brought a few guards.

Isn't it said that big bosses like to sit behind the scenes and send their juniors out to find out information? Why does this guy do the opposite? However, looking at the numerous scars on General Ling's body, it is obvious that he also likes to lead the charge when charging into battle. This is probably due to his nature.

The carriage soon left the main road and headed towards the mountains.

Zhitian Township is mountainous, with hills, dangerous peaks, rift valleys and stone forests. It looks like a geological encyclopedia.

The carriage circled around in the high mountains, and sometimes the crow had to fly into the sky and circle twice before it could determine its position.

Half an hour later, there was no road ahead and the carriage could not move.

He Lingchuan rode the blue sheep instead, with the tiger and the wind beast on his side.

This speed was much faster than riding a carriage, but it still took more than an hour to reach the dumping point mentioned by Crow.

This is a dense forest at the foot of the mountain, and the sun cannot shine in at all.

The ground is covered with a thick layer of dead branches and leaves, which can sink to your ankles if you step on it. What you bring up are rotten leaves and humus black soil.

The thick musty smell and moisture were mixed together, creating a strange smell that was not pleasant.

The big crow flew to a thick branch and flapped its wings:

"Here we are, right here!"

This is already the shady side of the mountain, and the rocks are covered with moss. Whenever you reach out and touch them, they are always wet.

He Lingchuan saw a large pit under the tree root, filled with corpses.

The crow was right. This place was originally buried by humans, but it was dug up by wild dogs. There is floating soil everywhere and there are the footprints of wild dogs everywhere.

He looked down and saw that the pit seemed to be only half dug out, and there were still many bones that had not seen the light of day.

This place is already a paradise for mosquitoes and flies. As soon as they get closer, they buzz and explode.

Of course, no mosquitoes wanted to get close to He Lingchuan. He was wearing an insect repellent bag given by Zhu Xiuer. However, the atmosphere here is damp, the corpses decompose quickly, and the smell is particularly unpleasant.

If he hadn't been baptized by Xiangtuanzi, Devil's Nest and various animal dens, He Lingchuan would have been vomited by Bao Buji.

But tigers, goshawks and crows don't mind the smell of corpses. Jiao Yu even went down into the pit and continued digging until he found two or three complete animal skeletons.

General Ling looked at it twice and said sadly:

"My children indeed."

There was nothing easy to identify from human bones, but General Ling saw the wind driller's corpse at a glance.

"These boys have been working under me for a long time. I didn't expect that they didn't die on the battlefield in the end." Instead, they were buried in the wilderness for no apparent reason.

He Lingchuan also went down to the pit to check, and even touched and picked through: "Although there are traces of wild dogs chewing, these corpses look like, uh..."

The goshawk stopped at the edge: "Has it been digested?"

He Lingchuan snapped his fingers: "Exactly!"

Although it had been covered by soil for many days, the surface of the remains was still a little sticky, and the flesh and blood were gone. Only the bones, fur, and hair remained, but they were all crumpled into balls.

Even the wild dogs that gnawed at the carcass couldn't do it that cleanly. What's more, there were several corpses buried deep in the soil that hadn't been eaten by dogs, and they were in the same condition.

The reason why Goshawk can be accurately described is that the residue excreted by raptors after digestion is roughly like this.

General Ling tilted his head in anger and cut the small tree in half with his big horns: "When I find the murderer, I will trample him into mud!"

"So our target is a monster with a huge appetite. It can eat more than a dozen people and seven or eight hornets at a time. And then it also walked thirty or forty miles to find a toilet?" He Lingchuan asked Goshawk, "Among the raptors, there are Such a big eater?"
