Chapter Twenty-Seven: Is It Really the Hunt of the Lynx?

After chasing out a few miles, Wang Jifei could no longer see the other party's figure, so he had to give up.

After returning to the campsite, Wang Jifei told Wang Linfeng about the situation just now, and he just nodded to indicate that he knew.

Seeing that Wang Linfeng didn't care, Wang Jifei said goodbye and walked out of his tent. Unexpectedly, when passing by Li Yuan's house, I heard such a few conversations.

"Senior brother, will it make a difference if there are so many people missing this time?" The voice was very small, and it sounded like the voice of Shen Fu of Wujimen.

"Yes, no more people can die, otherwise if there are not enough people, it will not pose a big threat, and then let that person succeed, it will be troublesome!

"I'm wondering if this assassin could be his person, after all, the timing of my and Senior Sister Shen's coming out was a bit of a coincidence......"

After walking away, Wang Jifei couldn't hear the conversation clearly, but from just a few words of dialogue, he felt that this operation was not just as simple as hunting and killing lynxes.

Li Yuan: Who is the person in their mouth?

Isn't that the same assassin you just had?

Who are they threatening?

After turning these around, Wang Jifei decided to ignore them for the time being. Wang Linhuo is Murong Wuji's fellow disciple, and he only needs to keep an eye on Ji Duan's father and son.

After everyone joined the vigilance, the ruthless assassin never appeared, and the group finally reached the mountainside of Mount Taylor. There are not many trees on the mountainside of Mount Taylor, most of them are huge and flat stones, and the wind at a height of more than 1,000 meters makes most of the area only short of shrubs.

Standing on a raised stone, Wang Linhuo said to a huge cave not far away.

"We've gotten to the place, and this area is where lynx frequents. That cave is probably the nest of a lynx. Now all we have to do is clean it up and use it as our foothold. Some time ago, everyone worked hard, and because of the assassin, some unpleasant things happened to everyone. I hope that everyone can work together to catch enough cubs as soon as possible. ”

As he spoke, he took out a stack of silver tickets from his arms and shook at everyone. "Considering that this operation is extremely dangerous, our Wang family has decided to compensate everyone for another 5,000 taels of gold. Everyone will take 3,000 taels first, and after returning to Wangjiaji, they will take the remaining 12,000. Okay, everyone, take a break, and in half an hour we'll go into the cave. ”

Wang Jifei calculated in his heart. Now there are still four recruiters left, which is equivalent to saying that the Wang family only took out a third of the remaining 60,000 taels of gold from the five dead people and Shi Yan to buy people's hearts, which is really a good calculation!

After sneering in his heart, he turned his gaze to his target, Ji Duan's father and son. I saw the two standing on Wang Linhuo's side, talking in a whisper, and Ji Qing's eyes swept over the hot Shen Fu from time to time.

In the past few days, Wang Jifei found that Ji Qing had hooked up with Shen Fu, just because everyone was traveling in the forest, it was estimated that they didn't have time to succeed. has been suffering from not having the opportunity to attack the father and son, Wang Jifei suddenly felt that it was a good idea to solve Ji Qing first, but that Shen Fu was a cultivator in the later stage of the life, and it was a little troublesome to solve.

While his mind was turning, Wang Jifei suddenly heard Wang Linhuo shouting excitedly.

"Look, there's a lynx in that hole! Be careful, and don't be brute when you encounter a lynx with more than two tails. ”

The clearing of the cave was smooth, but the cave was very large, and the size of the lynx was relatively small, so everyone spent a lot of time searching for it.

Wang Jifei followed them in the process of searching and found that there were many curves and forks in this cave, and the deepest place was three or four kilometers away from the entrance of the cave, which was already considered to be the interior of the mountain body of Tailai Mountain.

After the cave was cleared, the people of the Wang family used it as a base and divided into three waves to look for the three-tailed lynx. Li Yuan and Wang Linfeng brought a recruiter in one wave, Wang Linhuo and Shen Fu with Wang Jifei and a family named Wang Shu in another wave, and Ji Duan's father and son led the team.

After searching for three or four days, Wang Jifei slowly realized that something was wrong. He found that Wang Linhuo and them had been looking for traces of lynx in different caves, and the search became larger and larger as time went on.

On the fifth day, Wang Linhuo had already led them to the upper half of Mount Tailai, which was also forty or fifty kilometers away from the stronghold.

I secretly observed it for a few days. Wang Jifei always felt that they were not just looking for the cubs of the three-tailed lynx. Lynx monsters like to hide in caves, but they also keep their nests in larger crevices and tree holes, even in dense bushes.

But the people of the Wang family have been going around in the caves for the past few days, ignoring the cracks in the stones and the holes in the trees.

After walking back to the stronghold from a deep cave again, as soon as Wang Jifei entered the cave, he heard a loud quarrel inside, and it was the other two recruiters who were questioning the people of the Wang family.

"Tell me if the lynx will make its home at the bottom of a cave thousands of meters deep. My Lao Liu is not an unreasonable person, Shi Feng, the lynx in the tree hole you said that one or two are too few, it is troublesome to find, and it is not troublesome to take us on dozens of miles?"

"Yes, if we continue to toss like this, we won't look for it! we want to find your Wang family, and the four of us will stay behind to help you guard the stronghold. The young recruiter surnamed Jiang Jinhu saw Wang Jifei just walking in, and hurriedly opened his mouth to woo Wang Jifei and said: "Brother Sanshi, you also went to the bottom of the cave today, do you think there will be lynx there? ”

Wang Jifei had long wanted to figure out what the situation was, and it was convenient for him to get close to Ji Duan's father and son by making a mess, so he hesitated a little before speaking. "I want to know what's going on, and along the way, they suspect me and make me do the most dangerous thing. Today is even more bizarre, almost pulling me to the top of Mount Taylor, which doesn't seem to be an area where lynx moves. Now I want a plausible explanation. ”

After speaking, Wang Jifei walked up a few steps and stood side by side with the two of them, his eyes fixed on Wang Linfeng and the others who were standing opposite.

"What do you want to do, our Wang family has paid, and you just work honestly. Do you want to rebel?" Wang Linfeng on the side was the most young and vigorous, pulled out his saber with a "bang", pointed at Wang Jifei and the three of them and shouted.

"Bah, rebellion? I really think I'm the master!"

"Yes, dare to point a knife at Lao Tzu, who is afraid of whom?"

"Whew. Lao Liu, who had a fiery temperament, didn't say a word, but directly summoned his natal beast Fierce Golden Tiger.

The situation in the cave suddenly became tense, as if it only took a small spark to explode.

After Wang Jifei grabbed the knife in his hand, he was thinking about whether to take advantage of the chaos to add more fire, but he heard the sound of Wang Lin's anger coming from behind him.

"Third brother, what are you doing, put down the knife quickly. ”

"Sister Sun, come here, the people of the Wang family are bullying us outsiders!" Jiang Jinhu, who had a flexible mind, saw that the last recruiter, Sun Zitong, was also back, and hurriedly greeted him loudly.

Wang Linhuo saw that Sun Zitong hesitated for a moment and walked into the team of three, his face suddenly became even more ugly, and after slamming his fist on the stone wall at the entrance of the cave, he shouted loudly. "Don't be impulsive, put down your weapons and talk well, if there is anything wrong with our Wang family, I will definitely give you a satisfactory explanation. ”

"Second brother, who has our Wang family been afraid of, isn't it just four recruiters. ......”

"You shut up for me......" Seeing that Wang Linfeng had more ugly words to come out, Wang Linhuo immediately stopped him loudly.

At this time, the coercion of the life master realm slowly rose in the cave, and it was Ji Duan who walked straight ahead. I saw that after he suppressed the audience, he nodded sideways to Li Yuan, who was facing Wuji Gate, and Li Yuan took two steps forward and walked to the middle, and said loudly.

"Four, please be calm. We're really looking for lynx cubs, there's no doubt about that. The question you just had just now is also reasonable, but we didn't make it clear. But there is a reason for it, and it is really inconvenient to say. If you must listen, you can do it. He paused deliberately.

"I'd like to hear what the reason is, the old man who is hurting is running all over the mountains. ”

"Haha, Brother Liu wants to know that it's naturally okay, but I have to say ugly things ahead. After listening to this, there were only two options. Let's start with the bad one, that is, you should be watched by our people and stay in this cave until we go back together. And one more, which is to continue to participate in our manhunt and double the pay. How?"

Of course, it was impossible for Wang Jifei and the four of them to choose to be taken care of by them, and they agreed when they heard that the reward was doubled.

After seeing the four of them agree, Li Yuan slowly told the reason.

It turned out that the target of this hunt was not just the cub of the three-tailed lynx, and the Wang family got information from Wuji Sect that there was also a four-tailed or even five-tailed lynx cub hidden here. The more the number of lynx tails, the higher the value, and the Wang family has always claimed that they are only hunting three-tailed lynx for the sake of secrecy.

Having said that, this reason is not particularly far-fetched, but when Wang Jifei thinks of the conversation he overheard that day, he always feels that things are not so simple.

After the contradiction was temporarily suppressed, the two groups of people appeared to be at peace with each other, but in fact the estrangement has always existed. First of all, Lao Liu almost got into a fight with the Wang family's nursing home in the process of searching, and then Sun Zitong was harassed intentionally or unintentionally, and even Wang Jifei touched several lukewarm nails.

As the days passed, the anger in the hearts of the four recruiters who had been being monitored intentionally or unintentionally became higher and higher, and Wang Jifei was secretly annoyed because he had never been able to find a chance to deal with Ji Duan's father and son.
