Chapter 208: A one-horned wolf appeared in the suburbs
"Linzi, you still have to go out so late? Can't you wait until daylight tomorrow? Moreover, you haven't even eaten yet! Otherwise, you'll go ......back after eating."
Zhong Lingyue said with concern while putting away the "iron pimple", and finally fixed her eyes on his handsome face.
"No, it's very urgent, I have to go immediately, I can't delay for a moment. ”
Zhong Lin said, and had already walked out of the "Lin Yue Pavilion......
Looking at Zhong Lin's back, Zhong Lingyue stood for a long time, and it wasn't until Old Man Zhang called her that she came back to her senses......
Zhong Lin first asked Chen Laoshi about the approximate location of the unicorn wolf's corpse, and then called Zhao Jianyi to explain the situation, and asked him to arrange some manpower, especially to explain that the person who arranged the arrangement must bring equipment in case of accidents. Because Zhong Lin couldn't be sure where this one-horned wolf came from, let alone whether there was a living one-horned wolf. All he could be sure of was that the one-horned wolf was not from the Phoenix Clan.
According to the One-Horned Wolf King, except for their clan, the other one-horned wolf tribes have already been sent to the time and space known as the "Lost Continent". If this is the case, then where did this one-horned wolf come from? Is there really a space-time rift, and this one-horned wolf crossed through the space-time rift? If this is the case, there will definitely be other wild beasts that will pass through the space-time rift, and it will be unimaginable at that time!
"If there really is a space-time rift, can I go through the space-time rift to the 'Lost Continent' to find my parents?Obviously, this one-horned wolf must have crossed over before it died, so did it cause harm to the nearby residents?, and how did it die?" A series of questions lingered in Zhong Lin's mind, and there was no clue, let alone anyone who could answer him.
Chen Laoshi is a lumberjack, and the place where he found the body of the unicorn wolf was in a forest on the outskirts of the northern suburbs of Beicheng District, and it was he who found the body of the unicorn wolf while cutting wood.
In about half an hour, a group of five people arrived at their destination. At this time, it was already completely dark, and Xiong Jianbiao and the other three took out the spotlight flashlights prepared in advance, but they clearly illuminated things within a dozen meters in front of several people.
Chen Laoshi pointed to a pile of dead branches and leaves not far in front of him and said, "I buried the animal's corpse under this pile of branches and leaves. I'm afraid that others will find its corpse, and I'm even more afraid that the corpse will rot and stink. ”
"Is there any tool here to dig up the carcass of that animal, I'm going to see. Zhong Lin said.
"Yes, I usually live not far from here, and there is a shovel there, so I'm going to get it. ”
After Chen honestly finished speaking, he was not afraid of the dark, and ran away in a puff of smoke, obviously he was very familiar with the terrain in this area. It didn't take long for Chen Laoshi to retrieve two shovels, he took one and handed the other to Xiong Jianbiao.
Chen Laoshi first used a shovel to remove the dead branches and leaves, and then dug them up with Xiong Jianbiao.
"When you dig up, be light, don't hurt the body. ”
Zhong Lin reminded.
In fact, Chen Laoshi buried the animal's carcass not deeply, and because it had just been buried during the day, the soil was very loose, and it didn't take long for the corpse of an animal that looked a little like a wolf and a little like a horse to be revealed, and its sharp teeth indicated that it should be a ferocious carnivorous beast, not a herbivore like a horse. The faint smell of decomposing corpses began to fill the air. Judging by the smell, the carcass of the animal was only slightly decomposed, and it would not have been dead for more than two days.
After seeing the corpse, the three policemen, including Xiong Jianbiao, all gasped, because they had never seen such an animal before.
"What kind of animal is this? Is it a wolf?"
One of the policemen seemed to be asking the person next to him, and he seemed to be talking to himself.
"Have you ever seen a wolf of this size? That's the size of a horse. ”
Another police officer said.
"I haven't seen it, I only know that the size of a wolf is about the same size as an ordinary dog, isn't such a big wolf about to become a sperm......"
The two of them discussed in a whisper, and one of the younger policemen took out his mobile phone and was about to take pictures, only to hear Xiong Jianbiao say: "It's okay to take pictures, you can't send them to Moments, you can't spread them, it's confidential." ”
When the young policeman heard this, he hurriedly picked up his mobile phone again, and was really guessed correctly by Xiong Jianbiao, just now he really wanted to take a photo and send it to the circle of friends.
"Brother Chen, you sawed off this horn with a saw?"
Zhong Lin asked with some confusion.
"No, the first time I saw the carcass, its horns were about to break, and it was almost a third of it, or not even a third of it. However, despite the fact that there were only a few of them, I sawed with a chainsaw for more than an hour, and several of the sawtooth teeth were broken. I've never seen anything so hard, and that's one reason I think it's going to be worth a lot of money. ”
After Zhong Lin listened to Chen Laoshi's words, he nodded lightly, in fact, he had already discovered that the horn had been cut by a sharp weapon when he first held it up and looked at it. And the problem is precisely here, his money sword is already a semi-spiritual weapon, but when fighting against the one-horned wolf, he still can't hurt the horn of the one-horned wolf, so what kind of weapon is it, just by cutting it, the horn of this one-horned wolf can be almost cut off? Obviously, its sharpness has long surpassed that of the money sword, that is, at least a spiritual weapon.
If the one-horned wolf crossed over after he was severely injured in the Lost Continent, who would it be his parents? If not, would there be other people in the Lost Continent? Will they be the enemies or friends of their parents?
Too many questions filled Zhong Lin's mind, making him feel a little headache.
The next step is the examination. Zhong Lin found that the unicorn wolf had a total of five wounds on its body, and judging from the shape of the wounds, it should be a sword wound. The wound was deep, and the sword was to the bone, but it was not fatal, which means that the one-horned wolf in front of him was likely to have died of excessive blood loss.
Zhong Lin thought for a while, and then asked Chen honestly, "Brother Chen, when did you find the corpse of this beast?"
"In the morning. I woke up this morning, had a casual bite to eat, and as usual, I was ready to start cutting down trees. I found it when I walked here. ”
"Didn't it rain a lot here last night?"
Zhong Lin then asked.
"Yes, the rain was not very heavy, but it was always lightning and thunder, and it seemed that all the thunder had hit us, and two big trees were chopped, but fortunately there was no fire. ”
Chen Laoshi said as he pointed to two large trees that had been struck by lightning not far away. Most of the branches must have come from those two trees. Through Chen's honest answer, he also explained why there was no blood stain of the unicorn on the ground. Even though the rain wasn't very heavy, there was more than enough blood to wash away the one-horned wolf, not to mention that the one-horned wolf seemed to have lost most of its blood before it crossed over to this plane.
"And at night, did you hear anything other than thunder and rain?"
"Are you asking me if I heard the croaking of this animal? To tell you the truth, there was thunder almost all night last night, and I hardly had no one all night, so I got up in a daze and did something wrong. But I'm sure I didn't hear the animal's call, not a single one!" Chen Laoshi didn't seem to be nervous at all now, and his thinking became quicker, and he was able to come back to Zhong Lin's question very clearly.
"Is there anyone else living around here, or is there a village around?"
"I usually live here alone, so I feel like I'm a bit bald in a cartoon. The nearest village is Lijia Village, which is about three or four kilometers away. This forest is contracted by our boss and belongs to private land, so the villagers of Lijia Village rarely come here. ”
After listening to Chen Honest's words, Zhong Lin's brows furrowed suddenly. It was clear that all the clues were broken, and it was not known where the one-horned wolf had come from, because the rain had washed away all the tracks from last night. In other words, even if there is a space-time rift, it is not the specific location of the space-time rift.
"Brother Biao, you check whether there has been any police in the nearby village from yesterday day to this morning, especially to confirm whether there have been any animal injuries to people. ”
Zhong Lin looked at Xiong Jianbiao, his eyes full of doubt and uneasiness.
"Okay, I'll check it right away!"
Seeing Zhong Lin's expression, especially the appearance of the beast before, Xiong Jianbiao seemed to have realized the seriousness of the situation. He took out his phone and added an extra number......
In the next ten minutes, Xiong Jianbiao made three phone calls, not only asking Zhong Lin about the question he had just raised, but also informing the personnel in the system that they must notify him when they receive a police report similar to an animal injury incident.
"No, there are relatively few villages in this area, and there was no police yesterday. I expanded the scope to the whole city, but there were no reports of animals hurting people. ”
Xiong Jianbiao's work efficiency is still quite high, and he completed the "task" assigned to him by Zhong Lin in the shortest possible time.
"In this case, this one-horned wolf is most likely to appear here!"
Zhong Lin said to himself.
"Boss, you say this animal is called a 'one-horned wolf'? Have you seen them before? Where are they? How come I've never heard of such an animal?
Xiong Jianbiao said suspiciously.
"Brother Biao, I can't tell you what happened now, but I hope you will never see them in the future!"
Zhong Lin said meaningfully.
