To the south of the East China Sea, there is a small village that lives by the sea, and there are more than 60 families here, all of which live by the sea.

However, due to the monster that washed up from the sea a few days ago, many of their houses were destroyed, and all the fish they caught were swallowed, and even the fishing ground in the next village was not spared.

When the incident occurred, the local villagers reported it to the local Magic Association, and they launched their investigation.

At this time, a group of ten hunters arrived here and conducted a search.

"Boss, the bounty here is so high, it can't be fake, right?" An ordinary-looking, somewhat slippery-looking man asked the middle-aged man in front of him.

Before the middle-aged man could speak, a fat man on the side retorted: "What do you say, this bounty was officially released, do you think this news is true or false?" ”

This sentence was agreed by the remaining seven people, and they all responded: "Don't be suspicious of Xiao Ash, this bounty is issued by the Magic Association, and it must not be wrong." ”

"Yes, while this mission has just been released, no one has found out yet, so let's find the source quickly."

"Tut-tut, with this mission points, I guess I can also be promoted to a high-level hunter, right?"

"Not to mention being promoted to a high-level hunter, the 20 million mission bounty alone is enough for me to make a few big swords."

"Hehe, don't say it, the girl I found last time was really good, after this mission is completed, I must go over and patronize again."

The middle-aged man in front of him stopped, turned his head to look at his team members and said, "Okay, we have to discuss that when this reward is completed, you can spend it as much as you like." Now spread out for me and ask for information about this guy. ”

The information provided by the Magic Association only provides the most basic demon appearance, and the rest is not provided. It should be said that the Magic Association doesn't know about it, and everything can only be done by the hunters.

"Yes!"

After responding one after another, they dispersed.

Some stayed in the village and began to ask for information about demons, some went to the beach to try to search for something, and even went to the ransacked fishing grounds.

After the middle-aged man saw that his team members had dispersed, he found a family based on the information he had collected privately.

knocked on the door, only to see a short-haired man in a coarse cloth coat inside.

Seeing that the other party was a young man about twenty years old, he took out two red cards from his pocket and said with a smile: "Young man, I want to ask you a few questions, I don't know if it's okay?" ”

The young man, after seeing the red ticket in the middle-aged man's hand, his eyes lit up, and he immediately took away the two red tickets.

After taking a closer look and finding out that it was true, he took the lead in speaking: "I guess, you should be for the demon who swallowed the fishing grounds, right?" ”

The other party was so upright, the middle-aged man didn't need to bother to speak, and admitted: "That's right, I heard that you have seen that demon with your own eyes, so I want to ask you about it." ”

After saying that, two more red tickets were taken out, and the young man wanted to reach out and take them. But after seeing the other party's shrinking gesture, I knew that it was not so easy.

"Actually, it's like this, when I went out to sea yesterday, not a single fish nagged. I thought to myself, I can't skip dinner today, so..."

Next, it was time for the young man to describe himself, and the middle-aged man listened very carefully, without interrupting for half a minute.

Roughly speaking, he was a failure in fishing today. When I ate, there were no dishes, that is, those fish. So he thought, isn't there a big fishing ground next door?

With the intention of stealing one or two and not finding out, he walked to the fishing ground next door in the dark.

Don't look at the fact that it is already dark, but for this young man who has lived for many years, he is very familiar with everything here, and it is not too easy to walk at night.

But what happened next made him give up the idea of stealing fish.

After about a few minutes, the young man finished speaking, and he stretched out his hand to ask for it.

The middle-aged man handed over the red ticket in his hand, and asked in a slightly heavy voice, "You mean, you saw that the demon swallowed a large amount of fish, and his body became stronger, right?" ”

When the young man saw the four hundred yuan in his hand, his heart was full of joy, and he was not unhappy when he heard the middle-aged man's inquiry.

Honestly responded: "Yes, I can guarantee that, because that guy himself is only 3 meters thick." But after eating an unknown number of fish, its size has doubled. And those round and smooth things on its body, it looks disgusting, and it feels like it will explode in the next second. ”

I have to say that this young man should see it very clearly, after all, his eyes don't look like bragging.

"Okay, then one last question." These words can be regarded as true, but the middle-aged man still has a question, and only by confirming this can he believe the other party.

Looking at the other party's eyes, the middle-aged man asked in a deep voice, "Since you have observed the entire scene, why didn't that demon come to attack you?" ”

His eyes were sharp, staring at the other party tightly, as long as the other party said a lie, he could completely judge it.

"Oh, that's what you say." After the young man saw the other party's sharp eyes, he was not nervous at all, as if he had expected it, and said directly: "In fact, when I went to the fishing ground, there was a small hill, and I used to taste where to climb trees. ”

"It was late that day, and when I walked past in the dark, before I reached the fishing ground, I heard a lot of dog barking."

"The barking of a dog?" After thinking about it, the middle-aged man figured it out, and it is estimated that those dog barks were raised by someone stealing fish.

"Go on." took out another red ticket and motioned for the other party to continue.

"Okay." After stretching out his hand, the young man continued: "Because of such a loud voice, I subconsciously thought that I would not be discovered in advance. But when I listened closely, I noticed that in addition to the barking of the dog, there were some other sounds mixed in.

I don't think something is right, there is a small hill nearby. Although it is still about 600 meters away from the fishing ground, it is enough to see the situation in the fishing ground.

I climbed and climbed and climbed and climbed and soon climbed up the hill. Just as I was trying to see what was going on, I heard a sound of 'woo~~', like a dog dying.

That's when I knew it wasn't good. Because there is not just one voice, there are many dogs. The sounds of so many dogs combined made me hear them all clearly on the 500-meter hillside.

I was a little panicked at that time, because if I remember correctly, Xiaoyu's family had a total of more than 20 wolf dogs. As a result, there is no sound of dogs barking at all, so it can only mean one thing, those dogs have been killed. ”

Thinking of the scene he saw that night, the young man's hand holding the red ticket trembled inadvertently, and it was obvious that a scene that happened that night made him unforgettable.

The middle-aged man patted the young man on the shoulder, and after signaling the other party to relax, he took out a red ticket and said, "I want to rest for a while, and continue to say, this information of yours is very important to me." As long as the intelligence is useful, this one is indispensable for you. ”

The appearance of the red ticket made the young man temporarily forget the events of that night, and after accepting the ticket, he sighed: "It's so good, I just said a few words today, since I earned more than 2,000 yuan, it's easier than me fishing." ”

However, the young man didn't notice that his casual words made the middle-aged man's expression serious.

He keenly captured these words 'more than 2,000 yuan', you have to know yourself, plus the only 600 yuan just now, so how did the remaining 1,400 yuan come from?

And what he said, said a few words, is it the same as himself, the hunter who received a bounty to come here to do the task?

Thinking of this, the middle-aged man couldn't sit still, he had been stuck in a one-knee high-level mage for a long time.

Next, there is only a few million short of being able to buy a galaxy vein and hit the high level of the secondary cultivation system. If he is cut off at this time, then he will have no place to cry.

"Tell me, young man, what else you saw that night. As long as you finish in a minute, I'll give you two more. ”

Thinking that someone had already gotten the news, he couldn't wait to hurry over. But thinking that the information of the person in front of him was also very important, he stopped thinking about leaving and hurriedly urged.

The money offensive was quite useful, and it only took the lad 30 seconds to fully narrate, driven by money.

"The mountain to the west, is that the one?"

Leaving the young man's residence, the middle-aged man looked at the high mountain to the west while thinking in his heart.

The mountain is only more than 200 meters high, but behind this mountain, there are many small hills, which belong to the hilly area.

If any demon wants to hide in it, it will take a long time to find out.

"There's another young man, I don't know where he's investigating, and I'm going to speed it up." Thinking of the intervention of a second party, the middle-aged man was very nervous, and thinking of the information provided by the young man, he decided to go to the fishing ground to see if he could find some new clues.

......

About a kilometre north of the fishing village, there is a large artificial fishing ground.

The fishery is very large, the size of four football fields, and every other week it supplies a large portion of the delicious fish.

Xiaoyu, the owner of the fisherman, still made a lot of money through this fishing ground, but all this came to naught because of the intrusion of the demon a few days ago.

The owner of the fishery, Xiaoyu, is a young woman of about 22 years old, and this fishing farm is the legacy left by her parents.

At that time, Xiaoyu, who was still in high school, learned that his parents had died at the hands of demons, and his heart was devastated.

But as the saying goes, no matter how sad you are, life still needs to go on.

She runs a fishery while going to school, and she has a good mind, and the employees she hires are very good, so that the fishery she inherited has increased instead of decreasing.

It's all going in a good direction, but it's a pity that disaster has fallen from the sky...

That night she went out to a small party, leaving behind only a few employees who managed the fishery. But when I returned the next day, I learned that the fishing grounds had been looted and that all the employees had died.

In the same way, after hearing the other villagers' statements, there are also notifications from the Magic Association.

When she learned that a kraken had landed in the sea, killed the employees she hired and ate all the fish, she didn't know if she had collapsed or what she had done.

Fortunately, it did not become a ration for the demons, and the collapse was the loss of the fishing grounds, and a few more lives were added.

Although it is a demon, as a fisherman today, she has to take responsibility.

On the side of the fishing ground, a young man who came to investigate was making routine inquiries. As a result, the other party cried as he spoke, which made the young man very uncomfortable.

"The woman is really made of water, she has been crying for ten minutes, and there are still tears." The young man was shocked in his heart, and when he saw that the woman's condition was stable, he comforted him: "Don't worry, young lady, this time I came to get rid of which demon." ”

Xiaoyu raised her head and saw that the handsome man in front of her seemed to be about the same age as herself, and said her question: "But... But you're about my age, can you really deal with that demon? ”

If she remembered correctly, the handsome guy in front of her had just said that the demon seemed to be being promoted to commander.

Commander-level demons, corresponding to high-level mages of humans.

His talent is okay, and with the money he harvested from the fishery, he has broken through the middle-level mage by a year.

The little handsome guy in front of him, although his cultivation is stronger than himself, he can only survive the middle level three, right, can he really fight against the commander?

For this, Xiaoyu was particularly skeptical, but seeing that the other party was so handsome. She couldn't bear to hit the other party, and tactfully comforted: "Little brother, let's wait for the hunter team to come." I've heard from the Magic Association that there's a team of hunters made up of high-level mages who have already received the bounty.

I guess they're already on their way, so we'll have to wait. ”

"Bounty?" When the man heard this, his expression was very surprised: "I remember that this bounty has only been released for less than three hours, right?" ”

No wonder he was surprised, except for some urgent tasks, shouldn't it have been the last 12 hours before the hunters found out? How can it be so fast this time?

"That's right, the efficiency of the Hunter Alliance is really high, as long as any hunter team arrives, the demons will definitely be solved this time." For the hunter team composed of high-level mages, Xiaoyu is very confident.

You must know that it is a high-level mage, and the university I study in, that is, the principal and vice principal-level figures are high-level mages.

Thinking that the high-level mage is coming, he will be able to see the other party fighting with the demons.

Seeing the confrontation of high-level mages and leading demons, Xiao Yu felt that he had been back enough to blow for a year.

Ignoring Xiao Yu's words, the man looked at the mountains, sensed the beating of his heart, and muttered: "Pedron doesn't know if he has advanced, if he does, this high-level mage should be able to help me..."
