After the immortal disappeared

"Oh? Good guy, it looks like there's an inside story?" He Lingchuan said with a smile, stroking his hands, "I just like inside information. Come on, tell me, why is this so bad?"

"This thing was ordered by the people above!"

"Above?" He Lingchuan asked curiously, "Which one is above?"

Wan Dahu fell silent.

Jiao Yu suddenly asked him: "The messenger of Lingxu City was killed, was it you?"

Wan Dahu panicked and shook his hands: "It's not me, it's not me, I don't know what a messenger is!"

He Lingchuan brought the topic back, "There are hundreds of pigs. How did your nephew kill them?"

Wan Dahu still remained silent.

He Lingchuan suddenly opened his chin and stuffed a pill into his mouth.

The medicine turns into fluid and goes down the throat, and Wan Dahu can't even vomit it out. "This medicine will keep you awake for the next two hours. No matter how you are tortured, you will not faint." He Lingchuan said calmly, "If the Dongchuang incident happens, you will die no matter what. The difference is, how old do you want to be? Are your grandchildren buried with you?”

Wan Dahu said with a mournful face: "If I confess, they will die."

"You mean, the prince can't even be saved?"

Wan Dahu lowered his head and said nothing.

Jiao Yu licked his paw: "I'll get his grandson and eat it on the spot."

Wan Xianneng was shocked: "Don't!"

He swallowed again: "Special envoy, if you can keep my grandchildren safe, I will risk my life and tell you everything!"

"I promise on behalf of the prince." He Lingchuan promised without any psychological burden. Anyway, it was the prince of Chiyan who fulfilled his promise in the end, so what did it have to do with him?

Wan Xianneng lowered his eyebrows and said: "My nephew Wan Song is very talented. He used to study in a Taoist sect, but he was expelled because he accidentally killed a fellow sect. In those years, he was depressed and frustrated, so it was me who helped him. Later he went to work on his own. , there has been no news for many years, I thought he died outside, but I didn’t expect that he suddenly returned to his hometown the year before last, he was very happy, and he also accumulated a lot of wealth. "

"As you know, at that time, my business was no longer working, and my family was struggling. I even had to secretly sell some of my belongings to support such a large family. When Wan Song heard about it, he came to my door and wanted to drag me to do a job with him. Business!"

He Lingchuan raised his eyebrows: "The business of killing people and killing monsters?"

"Master, the main thing is to kill monsters." Wan Xianneng said with difficulty, "The jobs I take often involve building roads and building bridges in deep mountains, so there are many opportunities to meet mountain monsters. Although we are a monster country here, these guys are born in the mountains. They die in the mountains and fend for themselves. Zhitian Township rarely cares about them and can't control them. Wan Song took advantage of them and said that there was a noble person in Lingxu City who needed a kind of blood beads, which were condensed from the blood essence of the monster's body. Anyway, no one cares about the monsters in the wild, so we just use them to refine blood beads, and we can make money much faster than working hard to open mountains and build roads!"

Jiao Yu suddenly said: "How many monsters have you killed?"

"Not counting the litter of pigs..." Wan Xianneng thought carefully, "There are probably more than sixty or seventy pigs. If it is as small as a bat demon, five pigs will be counted as one."

Click, click, the tiger subconsciously stretched out its claws to scratch the ground. Sixty or seventy in less than two years? State and county records appear to be just the tip of the iceberg.

Seeing its gaze, Wan Xianneng shuddered.

"Don't scare him, he's just looking for monsters." He Lingchuan smiled at Wan Xianneng, "Continue. You originally only targeted lone monsters, right?"

"Yes, yes, in order to avoid arousing suspicion." Wan Xianneng whispered, "Anyway, they sometimes kill each other and they will die. No one will pursue this."

Not to mention monsters, human beings are sometimes aggressive and cruel, and will also kill their own kind. What's the big deal if dozens of monsters die in the wild every year?

"Then why did you raise a whole litter of more than a hundred pig demons last year? Didn't you want to attract attention?"

Wan Xianneng couldn't help but sigh: "The reason why we killed hundreds of pig monsters at one time was of course because we wanted to mine stone blood mines and sell them for money. On the other hand, the blood beads handed in last year were too few and did not meet the standards. At the end of the year, we had to Catch up on work.”

"How many blood beads do you have to turn in a year?" He Lingchuan asked him, "Do you have any in your hand? Show me."

"At least ten. It says that in order not to cause trouble, there should be no more than twenty at most." Wan Xianneng pointed to the study table. He Lingchuan walked over, opened the secret compartment according to his instructions, and grabbed a brocade bag from inside. .

There is only one ball in the bag.

Just like what the deer manager said, it's round and about the size of a bullet.

He Lingchuan took it in his hand and squeezed it, and it turned out to be very elastic.

Now when he gets rare items, he will approach the sacred bone necklace to see if there is any demand for it.

However, Shengu was silent, obviously disdainful of this thing.

"How many blood beads can be condensed depends on the size and behavior of the monster. It takes several pig monsters to refine a red pill."

"Can this thing be refined by humans?" He Lingchuan sniffed the red beads, which had a faint fragrance.

"No." Wan Xianneng smiled bitterly, "Otherwise, would we still have to work so hard to hunt monsters? If Bega just fights a battle, there will be countless living prisoners."

"Then why do humans keep dying or disappearing?"

"I don't know." Now that things have happened, Wan Xianneng can no longer hide his words, "Maybe he was used as bait?"

He Lingchuan frowned: "Bait?"

"The new monsters that appear after the outbreak of the Emperor's Liquid are often ignorant and bloodthirsty, and it is better to use living people as bait." Wan Xianneng said cautiously, "I heard this from my nephew, I have not seen it myself."

So this group of people fish for mountain monsters just like fishing. The difference is that the bait used by the fishermen is earthworm dough, and they use live people?

He Lingchuan glanced at General Ling and said coldly: "Why kill the wind beast? They all have backgrounds and are not mountain monsters."

"The superiors have temporarily placed additional orders." Wan Xianneng smiled bitterly, "I heard that the supply of blood beads exceeds the demand. It happened that two consecutive emperor oozes within six months caused a lot of new demons, so the superiors asked us to capture large quantities of these new demons in a short period of time. They appear, fight and kill each other, no one can count their number of lives and deaths, it is the harvest season for us!"

He Lingchuan remembered that the last time the Emperor's Liquid erupted, a group of monsters fought and killed each other by the Sanxin Lake. The cause was just a piece of Emperor's Liquid Ointment. Indeed, as Wan Xianneng said, no one pays attention to their birth and death and cannot count them, even if this is a demon country.

"We have captured a lot of new monsters, but the number of blood drops is not enough. Seeing that the deadline for handing in is coming soon, we have to... capture additional monsters." Wan Xianneng also knows the hidden dangers and dangers of catching new monsters. But I couldn't control much at that time. "Wan Song is very confident. He thinks we will never be exposed."

When he said this, he shed tears.

General Ling remained strangely silent and stood there without saying a word. Until then, he said coldly: "Awesome, really awesome. The lives of us monsters are like money with you."

Wan Dahu sensed danger for no reason and kept shaking his head: "I am only responsible for collecting and delivering the beads. My nephew will lead all the work of hunting monsters!"

General Ling insisted on a definite answer: "You mean, they were the ones who killed my children?"

"……yes."

General Ling said "good" several times in a row.

Wan Dahu sent another piece of information: "The leader who was originally responsible for hunting died in Hao Zhu Nest last year, and the person responsible later became my nephew."

These guys' job of licking the blood from the knife's edge is not small.

"Where is your superior?" He Lingchuan raised his second finger, "Also, where is your nephew?"

"Every time the deadline for handing in blood beads comes, someone will come from above." Wan Dahu drooped his head, "I delivered the goods in Shuanglu Town a few days ago. I don't know if that person is still there."

"What's this man's name?"

"My surname is Mai, he is tall and thin, very polite, but I don't know his name, so we all call him Mr. Mai." Wan Dahu didn't dare to hide it, "The delivery location is the third house on Buffalo Lane at the east end of Shuanglu Town."

General Ling asked: "The murderer... where is your nephew?"

"He, I can't find him." Wan Dahu smiled bitterly, "He always comes to me."

When he saw General Ling raising his hoof to kick, he quickly hugged his head: "I'm serious, everything I said is true! I will never joke with my grandson's life!"

A nephew is just a nephew, how can his own flesh and blood matter?

"It seems that your nephew does not trust you."

"He He……"

Seeing how he hesitated to speak, He Lingchuan was amused: "Are you afraid of him?"

"Ah..." Wan Xianneng drooped his head, "Although he is his nephew, he is actually a desperado. His character has been fierce since he was a child. Who is not afraid of him?"

"In this case, you should know that sooner or later you will be dragged down by him."

Wan Xian can na na can't be put into words.

If you walk too much at night, you will encounter ghosts, he understands. But the money came so quickly, he...he couldn't get off the boat.

He Lingchuan ignored him and said to General Ling: "General, if you don't have any clue, just follow me first."

Now the goals of the two sides are actually different. In order to fulfill Fu Shanyue's instructions, He Lingchuan must investigate and pursue Wan Dahu's boss, Mr. Mai. However, General Ling only wants revenge and vows to kill Wan Dahu. nephew Wan Song.

General Ling snorted and did not object, but he couldn't help but kicked Wan Dahu until his mouth and nose bled, and three of his teeth fell out.

"Stay and watch him." It said to one of the wind drill beast guards, "If he makes any move, just... beat him to death!"

He originally wanted to kill him directly, but General Ling saw that Jiao Yu was nearby and knew that he wanted to keep a prisoner for the county magistrate, so he changed his mind temporarily.

…

He Lingchuan rushed to Shuanglu Town, surrounded by people who could either run or fly. They were really galloping and full of power.

It only took more than two-quarters of an hour to complete the few dozen miles.

The fierce tiger Jiao Yu still stuck out his tongue and panted, but the wind beast was strolling leisurely, without even a single heaving of his chest and abdomen.

The two sides have different talents. The wind drill beast is inherently good at running, regardless of long or short distances.

The Buffalo Lane house identified by Wan Dahu is easy to find. It has a plain and low-key appearance. The entrance is very neat and tidy, with only a few fallen leaves.
