Chapter Seventy-Five: The Trail of the Green Dragon
"Brother Xuan, Brother Xuan!" Ji Ling whispered a few times in Xuanyi's ear, seeing that Xuanyi never responded, he was about to reach out and pat him on the shoulder, Xuanyi's body moved slightly, and his lowered head was raised.
"What?"
"The food and wine are ready!" Ji Ling pulled over a stool and sat beside Xuanyi, and dozens of other gangsters looked at Xuanyi with chopsticks, waiting for him to give the order to start the meal.
Xuan Yi smiled apologetically: "Brothers, hurry up and eat!"
He looked at the only pot of meat on the table, took the lead in picking up a piece of beef with chopsticks, put it in his mouth, and chewed it slowly: "But the money is not enough? Why is there only a bowl of beef?"
The only plate of beef was quickly eaten by dozens of sturdy guys, and Ji Ling smiled bitterly: "Brother Xuan, this shopkeeper said that the livestock in the village disappeared overnight, and even this bowl of beef was sold to us by me." ”
"All the livestock?" Xuanyi said in confusion as he put down his chopsticks.
"Yes! What a strange thing! All the animals disappeared in one night! No beast can do this. Ji Ling muttered and picked up a piece of green cabbage that looked like cabbage, and put it in his mouth and chewed it with disgust.
"Oh!" Xuanyi nodded slightly, a flash of cold electricity shot out of his eyes, there may not be a beast that can devour all livestock overnight, but what if the suspect is a dragon?
"Hehe!" Xuan Yi chuckled, and the hideous and crazy huge figure in the poison pool came to mind.
"Eat slowly, brothers, and if you don't have meat, drink a little wine to deal with it, and we'll stay here for the night today, and we'll go again tomorrow!"
"Yes!" the Scarlet Alliance cheered in unison.
"This... This... Ji Ling scratched his head, and he didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in the Xuanyi gourd.
"Don't do this, don't do this, greet the brothers well, take it! Go buy some more wine and food!" Xuanyi raised his hand and popped out a silver ingot, patted Ji Ling's shoulder and left the table first.
The tavern owner Lao Zheng nestled in the counter with one hand on his forehead and a sad face, and a slight footstep came to him, and then the wooden counter was gently knocked, and Lao Zheng raised his head and saw a smiling young man's face.
"Boss, I'd like to ask you something. Xuanyi asked in a low voice.
Lao Zheng's eyes flickered, his gaze quickly swept over Xuanyi's body, and his right hand tapped on the counter with some impatience: "What do you have to say from the guest officer?"
"I just heard that the livestock raised by the boss disappeared a few days ago?"
"What?" Lao Zheng's face was slightly cold: "The guest officer is interested in this?"
Xuanyi smiled, took out a broken silver ingot from his arms and gently put it on the counter: "The boss took me to the shed where the livestock were raised, maybe I could find some clues." ”
Lao Zheng sighed, put away the silver ingot and stood up: "Guest officer, please come with me." ”
The two walked along the path behind the tavern for about dozens of minutes, and the air could already smell the unique smell of pigs and cows and other livestock, Lao Zheng pointed to the empty shed in front of him and said with a depressed face: "Guest officer, this is my livestock shed, dozens of pigs and cattle disappeared overnight, even no matter how powerful the thief is, he can't have such a heavenly ability! The old people in the village all said that they had caused some kind of ghosts, gods and evil fairies. ”
Lao Zheng was still babbling in his ear, Xuanyi first pushed open the wooden door of the greenhouse and walked in, the four walls of the whole greenhouse were intact, only the corner of the roof of the shed revealed a gap several meters large, the ground was sprinkled with scarlet animal blood by Lao Zheng, and the four corners of the shed were also lit with a few high incense.
Xuanyi pinched his chin and thought secretly, judging from the current situation, these pigs and cows seemed to have been taken away from the air. He jumped out of the gap and landed lightly on the roof of the shed.
Xuanyi leaned down and carefully inspected the artemisia grass used to shelter from the rain and snow on the roof of the shed, and sure enough, he found that the color of the original pale yellow artemisia grass in one place was obviously different from others, gray-brown, like the decayed color after being corroded by strong acid.
Strong acid liquid? It is estimated that it is caused by that guy's saliva, Xuanyi has a plan in his heart, and a dodge falls to the ground.
"Guest officer, do you have a clue?" Lao Zheng ran over quickly, looking at Xuanyi expectantly.
Xuanyi smiled and nodded: "Boss, is there a mountain forest behind the village?"
"Mountains and forests?" Lao Zheng paused, "Our Wanni Village is full of deep mountains and old forests, and the hunters in the village have relied on hunting for a living for generations. ”
"Please lead the way. ”
"Guest officer, although it is still in the afternoon, there are still many wild beasts in the mountains and forests. Lao Zheng Wenyan looked at Xuanyi again and asked with some hesitation.
"It's okay, just tell me which way is the fastest way to get to the mountains and forests behind the village. ”
Lao Zheng squinted his eyes and pointed out the general direction, then turned around and returned to the store, leaving only Yu Xuanyi alone in the direction of the mountain forest. Originally, the afternoon sun should be scorching and dazzling, but this mountain forest is extremely dense, blocking the sunlight from the outside, just stepping into the mountain forest, but a cool breath comes to the face.
This forest has a history of hundreds of years, and the forest has been trampled out of a path by generations of hunters, and the dead branches and fallen leaves on the side of the road have accumulated a thick layer. The dim light sets off the scene a little gloomy, and the Xuanyi crushes the dead branches and leaves along the way, and the "crunch" sound is endless.
In a dark corner of the mountain forest, several beasts that looked like wolves roared low and fell to the ground, and the pressure of the grandmaster from the surface of the Xuanyi body made these beasts dare not act rashly.
Xuanyi walked through this dense forest safely, in front of him were continuous mountains, these mountains were a little unusual, the peaks were as slender and tall as an awl, and there was no vegetation growing on the mountain, and it looked a little strange bare.
The caves at the top of the cliffs are often overrun as nests by powerful beasts, and dragons are burrowing animals, and so are they. But there were dozens of mountain peaks in front of him, and no one knew where the injured green dragon was hiding.
Xuanyi's eyes were like electricity and he carefully looked at the peaks, the low, non-cave ones were eliminated first, and after some screening, the target was roughly circled between the five peaks.
"Next, let's knock on the mountain and shake the dragon!" Xuanyi used his internal force to easily throw up a piece of bluestone that was hundreds of catties full, and then slapped it out with a fierce palm. The bluestone roared like a cannonball and smashed on the mountain in front of it, and the earth-shattering sound echoed throughout the mountain for a long time.
In a cave at the top of a mountain peak, the green dragon, who was sleeping after a full meal, was awakened by a loud noise, and a fierce light called anger flashed in his giant bronze bell-like eyes.
The bluestone continued to smash on the peaks one after another, stirring up smoke and dust in the sky, and the scene could be called a boiling sky, but the green dragon still cowered in the cave and forced himself to hold back his anger.
"Don't dare to come out?" Xuan Yi was a little depressed, this green dragon was afraid that it had been injured by the masters in Guangxin City, and it was cunning and would definitely not attack rashly now.
"Then I'll provoke you again!" Xuan Yi gritted his teeth, determined to squander the last bit of mana he had left, and turned into a war bear and slammed into the nearest mountain.
"Boom!" the sharp mountain trembled violently, and a huge sound mixed with the roar of the war bear resounded throughout the valley.
The green dragon's crouching body tightened suddenly, and the blood appeared in its deep eyes, it was already angry to the extreme, it had long regarded this place as its temporary territory, and the powerful beasts nearby had long been frightened by its own dragon might, and now a bear dared to show off its might in its own territory, which was the biggest contempt and provocation for it as a dragon.
