Mr. Tang had promised to cooperate with us before, but I didn't expect that the task had already been sent on the day I entered.

The fat man moved my salute back from Mr. Xu, and our base is still in the fat man's house.

Sitting in the room, the fat man took out a brown envelope and put it in front of him, and said in a low voice, "This is sent by Mr. Tang a few days ago." ”

I opened it and looked at it, and it contained a knife of documents and a few photos.

I took it and looked at it, and the first piece of paper I saw was a line written on it: Earth Beast Death Report.

I pinched it in my hand and took a closer look, and there was a list of names of earth beasts, some I knew, some I didn't, the time of death, and the death history that was not too detailed.

"What is this?"

I asked curiously.

The fat man lit a cigarette and said, "I've read these materials before, I'll tell you about them." I'll explain to you the copy you have in your hand, and first briefly introduce the errand that Mr. Tang asked us to do this time. ”

He took a puff on his cigarette and continued: "About three weeks ago, there was a strange incident of a large number of poultry dying in a farm house in Zhenjiang. So instead of being poisoned, and then suspecting that there might be wild beasts in the nearby forests, the locals asked friends from the forestry department to help them hunt and search the surrounding mountains and forests more intensively. While some predators such as dingoes and weasels have been found, no large beasts have been found. This incident became an unsolved case, but because there were no casualties, it did not make a big fuss. But what I didn't expect was that someone died a few days later!"

As soon as the fat man changed his words, I paused and asked, "Someone died?"

"Yes, at that time, there was a child who had just reached the full moon in another nearby farmer's house, and one night, after the mother fell asleep, she heard a strange crying sound, so she hurriedly got up to check, thinking that the child was hungry or pooping on her body or something, anyway, she was not mentally prepared. When I turned on the light, I saw that the baby was lying on the bed, covered in blood! ”

After the fat man finished speaking, Luo Qiong next to him added: "If the beast kills the baby, there is only one possibility for this to happen, and that is revenge." Many carnivorous beasts have a desire for revenge, especially the wolf, which is likely to be retaliated against if the hunter annoys the wolf. They are not hungry, but they still sneak into hunters' homes and bite and kill poultry and livestock. ”

"Did you find out later? What kind of beast did it?"

I nodded.

"When someone died, the village immediately became nervous, sent more people to search everywhere, and finally found something. Because this time the search was much stronger than before, someone found a clue. They found a hole in a nearby mountain forest and continued to explore the cave, but the situation also expanded at this time, and no one who entered the cave came out alive. ”

"All dead?"

I was also taken aback.

"Well, a total of four people died before and after, and the corpses are still in the cave, and no one dares to fish them up. The people in the village felt that the situation was getting worse and worse, and it was no longer for them, the rural farmers, to manage, so they called the police. When the armed police arrived, they went down to the cave to inspect it, but they did not find any corpses, but found some fragments of suspected animal feces and fur, but did not see any animal shadows. They took the feces and fur out for testing, and guess what. ”

The fat man said as he took another puff of his cigarette.

"Is it an earth beast?"

I whispered.

"Yes, it's an earth beast, but it's not an ordinary earth beast, and after bringing back the dung and fur, the story didn't know how it spread. The results of the test were some monkey-like animals, but they did not exactly match the monkeys, and it was not possible to determine what kind of animal it was. On the other hand, after the news spread, many people in our circle also began to pay attention. Many people went to arrest them, but unfortunately, in the end, these people did not even see the shadow of the earth beast. ”

"Are we going to Zhenjiang too? You should know, I'm on bail now and can't leave Shanghai. ”

I shook my head and said.

"Don't worry, if I wanted to go to Zhenjiang, I would have refused this errand a long time ago. At that time, there were many people who had searched in the past, and most of them had returned, but not all, and a group of people who had entered later expanded the search area, and perhaps because of good luck, they found similar traces in another mountain forest. After following these traces, he faced the earth beast, there were a total of six people in this group, and the leader was said to be a very famous figure on the road, all equipped with demon hunting crossbows and shock-proof clothing, but the final result was a big surprise, only one of the six people escaped, and this person almost went crazy, and after being rescued, there was only one sentence in his mouth, the purple-haired monkey. ”

After the fat man's words introduced the antecedents, it seemed that he was finally about to enter the consequences.

"The person who got the information must check what the origin of this purple-haired monkey is, and after reading the information of many earth beasts, he has identified several earth beasts. The rest of the people continued to search for traces of the earth beast, but it seemed that they had stepped into the territory of our 'Monkey King', causing the Monkey King to become angry, and the group of people was wiped out overnight, with heavy casualties. At the time, there were about fifteen monkeys, led by a huge monkey about the same height as a normal person, with purple hair and eyes like burning flames. ”

"Haha, isn't that just like the Monkey King?

I said with a smile.

The rest of the people were vindictive, and drove the monkeys up the mountain, besieged the mountain and set fire to it, and some even blew it up with dynamite bags. Our Monkey King's group of monkeys also suffered heavy casualties, and in the end, it was the only one left to escape, but it was also seriously injured by the explosion. ”

When the fat man said this, I couldn't help but ask strangely, "So what does this have to do with us?"

"Mr. Tang gave information that it was recently discovered that our monkey king had fled into the outskirts of Shanghai, and some people had witnessed it entering Shanghai. That is to say......"

"In other words, now that this is our job, don't you just say that this is the end?

I gave him a blank look.

", I didn't make it clear, and you will definitely ask me when you investigate later. I don't like to follow you with a bunch of information every day, okay, let's talk about the list you just saw. That's a list of the Earth Beasts it killed......"

Hearing this, I paused, took the information over and looked at it again, it listed a series of names of earth beasts, some of which I could find in "Mountain Monsters", and several of them were marked as fierce beasts or something.

"How did you get this information?"

I asked.

"Mr. Tang's intelligence work is very good, and the information he gives is also very sufficient, these are all the earth beasts that his subordinates have investigated, and they have been killed by this monkey king in the past. Judging from the date, this monkey king has been active in Jiangsu and Zhejiang for a long time, and there have been many sightings. The period of activity before and after lasted for ten years, and the methods were very brutal, but the action organization was very planned. This is the first time it has been beaten to the point of being left alone, so we should be glad that this is a chance given to us by God to deal with a seriously injured, high-bounty and lone Monkey King. ”

After the fat man finished speaking, he threw the photo to me.

"What do you mean?"

I asked as I picked up the photo.

"This monkey king has killed so many people, and it is famous in the circle, and there are many people who want its life. Bid a bounty, and whoever kills the monkey king will get all the bounty alone. ”

The fat man explained.

"Oh, how many?"

I asked disapprovingly. In my opinion, the reward can be as much as possible, at most a few thousand dollars.

"One hundred thousand. ”

Unexpectedly, as soon as the fat man opened his mouth, he quoted a sky-high price, almost didn't make my jaw drop, and said in surprise: "So high!"

"Well, it's so high, and it is said that there will be people who will add it, and the brothers, family members, organizations, or sects of the person killed by this monkey are involved, and it can be regarded as a public outrage. It's not just Mr. Tang who is eyeing it now!"

The fat man snuffed out the cigarette butt and smiled on his face.
