Chapter 315: Monster Turmoil
Helu Wumu, a town attached to Wanhan City, is located thirty kilometers away from Wanhan City, bordered by grasslands and woods, it is the road for southerners to go to Wanhan City after all, all kinds of trade can be seen here, the prosperity of the town, almost comparable to the city-state, the town is supervised by the Duke of Adri-Am of the Protoss, and a thousand-man army is also stationed in Helu Wumu Town.
The size of the town is the same as that of the city-state, and it is controlled by the army, so naturally there is a mercenary club.
In the mercenary club, people were discussing something, and suddenly a strong man walked in, carrying the corpse of a monster on his shoulder, everyone looked over, and began to look at the corpse of the monster, and discussed the corpse of this monster.
I saw the monster on the strong man's shoulder, the belly didn't know what was cut open, the internal organs inside were gone, and the blood stains on the wound had long been dried, and the strong man's hands were drenched in blood, could it be that the strong man hollowed out the internal organs of the monster?
The messenger at the reception saw the strong man coming over, and said, "Another corpse without a heart." β
The strong man put the monster's corpse on the front desk and said, "Hehe, I'm here to get the commission." β
At this time, a man in a robe walked over and shouted to the strong man, "Xiao Cheng?"
"Yo" The strong man saw the appearance of the man in the robe, and shouted: "Old Huang... You're here too, and you didn't take a mission today?"
Lao Huang looked at Xiao Cheng carefully and said, "I just looked like you, so I came over to say hello, you said that you, a guy with a hairy head, why did you come to the mercenary club?"
"Haha..." Xiao Cheng smiled: "Hey... You don't know, I also went to stocking hairy heads today, but when I came back, I passed by the woods outside the town, and I saw a monster lying there on the periphery of the woods, just where I entered the woods, and saw a monster lying there, and a pool of blood, I thought it was dead, so I went over to see, who knows that this monster is not only dead, the stomach opened a big hole, and even the heart is gone, I thought, pick up a bargain, and then take out the remaining internal organs in the monster's stomach, no, I took the monster to the mercenary club, anyway, the monster's heart is highly poisonous, those internal organs are useless, bring a corpse back, you can also receive a commissionγ β
The messenger said, "It's not like you can just find the corpse of a monster and get a commission. β
The strong man was disappointed for a while and said, "Then I won't work in vain." β
The envoy looked at the strong man's shoulder, there was a brand of iron on it, this is the house number of the townspeople, indicating that it is the civilians of Helu Wumu Town, and said: "Seeing that you are a commoner of this town, you can have this treatment, let me go and see if there is a task for this monster you brought, if there is, let you receive a commission." β
"Oops..." The strong man said excitedly: "Thank you, messenger." β
The messenger walked to the task bar, looked at it for a while, then took a task sheet, walked over, and said, "Fortunately, there is, I will accept this monster." β
The strong man was excited for a while, and after seeing that the messenger accepted the monster, he went to the back room, and after a while, he took the commission out and handed it to himself.
The strong man took the commission, looked happy, loaded the commission, and said to Lao Huang: "Lao Huang, I'm leaving, I'm going to be free at night, come to my house to eat meat." β
"Good" Lao Huang is not polite.
As soon as the strong man turned around, he left the mercenary club.
Lao Huang returned to his table, and the two people at the table with him, a man and a woman, and the woman spoke: "During this time, the woods outside the town are really evil, almost every day there are such monsters that have been cut open and their hearts taken away, but they are cheaper than some low-level mercenaries in this town, and they go to find ready-made corpses almost every day." β
But the man opened his mouth and said playfully, "Why don't we go and pick up a ready-made one." β
The woman rolled her eyes and said: "Although there are monsters in the woods outside the town, they are all low-level monsters, and there are few high-level monsters, if you want to go, why bother to pick up ready-made ones, you won't catch one yourself." β
"Haha..." The man laughed, "I'm not talking about it. β
Lao Huang looked at the mercenaries at the other tables, and said: "Do you know that now not only the mercenary club, but even many civilians also know that there are monsters in the woods that have been hollowed out of their hearts, and some merchants who have come to Wanhan City do not dare to approach the woods now, for fear of any monsters." β
"Hey, hey..." The man smiled: "Lao Huang, don't say it's scary, for people, aren't those monsters monsters?"
Lao Huang said: "You're right, but think about it, looking at the entire continent, who doesn't know that the heart of a monster is highly poisonous, who will kill a monster, not eat meat to fill his stomach, but choose to eat the heart in the belly of a monster, will you?"
"No..." The man said decisively: "What do I want that heart to do, it's useless to hand in the task." β
Lao Huang said: "No, no one knows what it is, since it only takes the heart of the monster, if it is taken to eat, it is not a monster, people can still know something about the monster, but this thing that takes the heart of the monster, I don't know what it is, it can only be called a monster." β
The woman said: "What Lao Huang said makes sense, calculate the time, since these monsters with hollowed out hearts appeared, it has been two months now, and now, everyone is discussing this topic, and everyone wants to know what it is, causing these monsters to be hollowed out of their hearts." β
"yes..." Lao Huang said: "I heard that the Duke of Adri-Ibor also sent several teams of ten people to investigate, but ah, there is no result, and now they have posted notices to tell civilians not to go to the woods." β
The man said, "Wow... This monster has a really big face, since even the Duke of Adri-Ibr has paid attention to it, and sent troops to investigate, if it can really catch the monster that eats the heart of the monster, I really want to go and see, what it is, but then again, during this time, our mercenary club, in the first and second level tasks in the woods outside the town, there are not many low-level mercenaries to pick it up, I see, I guess I am also afraid of this monster, hey... It's still fate. β
"It's not..." Lao Huang said: "Money is important, but if you lose your life for a few gold coins, it's not worth it." β
"Old Huang..." The man suddenly shouted, "You say, should we go to the woods and have a look, maybe we can really find the monster who took out the heart of the monster, think about it, even the Duke of Adri-Ibor cares, if we can catch that monster, maybe there will be a large reward?"
"Hmph" the woman said, "You are really dreaming, you don't even know what it is, you dare to go?"
The man said, "You don't want to think about it, if it's a powerful thing, why kill these low-level monsters." β
Lao Huang said: "There is some truth, why don't we go tonight, generally these strange things are haunted at night, anyway, there are no suitable tasks in the mercenary club now, let's go and see." β
The woman thought for a moment, and the man said, "It's okay, if that monster is really powerful, we can't run away." β
"Hmm" the woman nodded, and the three of them left the mercenary club.
