Walled towns.

It gets its name because it is surrounded by a high wall built around the town.

It was founded in the decade of the New Era.

It's only been seven years.

The first to create the walled town were seven powerful beast masters and the survivors who followed them.

The Beast Masters banished the surrounding hordes of otherworldly creatures, while their followers established towns.

Gradually, more and more survivors began to settle in the walled town, which now has nearly 100,000 people.

After the formation of the scale of the walled town.

Seven beast masters formed a committee of seven to manage the affairs of the entire besieged town.

Now, the former seven-member committee has developed into a town management committee.

And the seven beast masters in the past are still at the top of the management council.

Ji An's parents were residents who came to settle in the walled town earlier.

And Ji An, in his previous life, lived in the besieged town for ten years.

It wasn't until four years later, in the twenty-first year of the New Era, that the besieged town was destroyed by a mighty beast.

Ji An then wandered to other gathering places.

However, even if the two lives are combined, this is the first time that Ji An has stepped into the door of the management meeting.

As an institution for the management of a walled town with a population of nearly 100,000.

There are hundreds of people working in the seven-story building of the management committee.

Before he entered the management meeting, Ji An was stopped by the security personnel at the door.

"Stop! What the hell! A young security guard with a heavily armed gun spoke in a rough voice to Ji An, who was approaching the gate of the management council.

This man is supposed to be just an ordinary armed guard.

Obviously, the management council is not yet bold enough to guard the door with a beast master.

Even if he is only the most basic disciple-level beast master, he has a high status in the walled town.

However, the black hole muzzle of the K37 drone assault rifle in the hands of security personnel can still give people enough deterrence.

As a "wanderer" who has traveled through dozens of gathering places.

Ji An could see the model of the weapon in the other party's hand at a glance.

Even, I have owned this inexpensive and durable weapon more than once.

Ordinary people want to wander in the wilderness, and they definitely can't go far without one or two automatic firearms at hand.

"Sir, I'm here to complete the bounty mission." Even if the other party was rough and rude, and his tone was close to scolding, Ji An still said politely.

In this era of human life.

People who don't know how to adapt to the laws of survival have already become a dry skeleton in the wilderness.

And one of the rules of survival is to remain humble in front of the strong.

"What bounty?" Next to the young security officer who had just spoken, a middle-aged guard with a beard on his face said suspiciously.

He could tell at a glance that the ragged boy in front of him was definitely the poorest of the walled towns.

What bounty can such a person complete?

Recently, the management committee has not offered a bounty on any wanted criminals, and there is no need for residents to provide clues at all.

In addition to this kind of bounty, many other bounties are life-threatening.

It's hard to even be a big man like the Beastmaster.

He was very suspicious that this kid just wanted to get into the management and make trouble.

If they disturb the big people inside, they will put people in without authorization, and they will inevitably eat and hang.

As soon as Ji An saw this person's suspicious expression, he knew that if he didn't explain his intentions, the other party would definitely not let him in.

He looked at the gate of the management council from time to time, when people came in and out.

Gritting his teeth, he immediately took out fist-sized, blue-red eggs from his underwear.

"Sir, it's a bounty for the eggs of the Red Knife Mantis, and this is the egg I found by chance." At the gate of the management council, which was crowded with people, it was very unlikely that the two guards would dare to snatch their belongings.

As for whether the other party recognizes it, this is the egg of the red knife mantis.

Ji'an wasn't worried.

After all, the bounty on the notice board not far away has already attached the appearance of the Red Knife Mantis Egg.

It's almost the same as what you have in your hands.

As soon as Ji An's words fell, the two people who saw the things in Ji An's hands clearly, whether they were young guards or beards, all changed their faces slightly.

As for the reward notice for the Red Knife Mantis Eggs, which has been posted for several months, the two people who guard the gate of the management committee every day are naturally clear.

If no one completes it, the bounty may be canceled in two days.

It all started nearly three months ago.

A red-knife mantis that somehow sneaked into the town from the wild was culled by the beast master of the city garrison.

The Beast Master of the garrison found that this powerful high-level transcendent creature had just given birth.

The eggs that the Red Knife Mantis had just given birth to undoubtedly aroused the interest of many beast masters.

Even many beast masters deduced that the reason why the Red Knife Mantis mixed into the town was probably to avoid natural enemies and find a safe place to give birth.

In other words, the eggs that the Red Knife Mantis has just laid are likely to be in the walled town.

Therefore, there are big people who have entrusted the management committee to issue a high reward.

But three months have passed, and the bounty has still not been completed, and the eggs of the Red Knife Mantis are still nowhere to be found.

The big man in the bounty department of the management council even overturned the initial speculation, suspecting that the eggs of the Red Knife Mantis were not in the city at all.

And the appearance of the Red Knife Mantis in the besieged town is only a coincidence.

Can ...... now

The bearded middle-aged guard's eyes rolled around, glanced at the insect eggs in Ji An's hand, and a vague look of greed flashed, and said to his companion: "I'll take him to Master Pei Ling of the Bounty Department, you watch it first." ”

The young guard nodded, and glanced at Ji An with a complicated look in his eyes.

The bounty of the Red Knife Mantis Insect Eggs, even if he was a guard who served in the Management Council, he couldn't help but be thrilled when he saw it.

The things used to reward the Red Knife Mantis are even more difficult to buy even if you have money.

At this time, it is cheaper for a poor boy who besieges the town.

"Follow me."

Ji An followed the middle-aged guard into the management building unimpeded.

Soon came to the bounty department on the first floor of the building, and also saw Pei Ling in the other party's mouth.

This is a nondescript office located in the innermost part of the first floor of the building.

If it weren't for the bounty sign hanging at the door, it's hard to imagine that there is an independent department of the management council here.

Pei Ling, who is in the mouth of the middle-aged guard, is a young woman who is not a few years older than Ji An.

"Mistress Peiling." The middle-aged guard was surprisingly respectful in front of this woman.

"Liu Tong, what's the matter?" Pei Ling obviously knew him, looking at the two people in front of her, Pei Ling said in a lazy tone.

"Master Peiling, someone has completed the reward for the Red Knife Mantis, so I brought him here." Liu Tong hurriedly explained his intentions.

"Oh? Is that him? Pei Ling looked at Ji An with interest.

Liu Tong nodded, and pulled Ji An, motioning him to step forward.

"What about the eggs?"

"My lord, here." Ji An honestly took out the blue-red worm egg.

The middle-aged guard took the insect eggs from Ji An's hand and respectfully handed them to Pei Ling.

Pei Ling opened her sleepy eyes, and a discerning person knew that she had just woken up.

However, when she saw the moment she took the eggs, Pei Ling's eyes flashed with a different look.

"Is this the egg of the Red Knife Mantis? It's the first time I've seen it! ”

Pei Ling pointed the eggs at the window on the side, and through the sunlight, the eggs appeared crystal clear, indicating that they exuded a blue and red halo: "It's really beautiful." ”

Pei Ling looked at it for a long time, and then realized that there were two people waiting on the side.

After coughing a little embarrassedly.

Pei Ling snapped her fingers.

Suddenly, a light wind blew in the room.

The wind of formlessness and ignorance at this time seems to have substance.

In the middle of the crowd, a portal was formed composed of pale cyan mystical patterns.

A figure as light as a breeze appeared in the portal, like a fairy in mythology, slowly walking towards the world in the dark passage of time and space.

It is a strange creature with an upper body resembling a human female, and a small white tornado on the lower body.

"Wind Chime, go to the logistics department and take out the vitality tester of Old Dengtou." Pei Ling commanded her own beast.

"Bell bell!" Wind chimes rang out like wind chimes.

The office door was blown open by a gust of wind, and Kazehime's body floated in mid-air and flew outside.

Soon.

Wind Chimes returned with a device the size of a chair.

The iron lump that looks extremely heavy, in the hands of the wind chime, is as light as a floating feather.

Bang!

The instrument was slammed to the ground by the wind chime.

"Wind Chime, can you tap it, I broke those old men, it's time to talk to me again!" Pei Ling said dissatisfied, while powering on the instrument, and opened the lid of the instrument, and put the insect eggs in her hand.

Press a switch on the instrument, and as the machine starts, a row of values appears on the instrument screen.

At the same time, a smile appeared on the corner of Pei Ling's mouth: "Very good, full of vitality, who is that, you have completed this reward." ”

When Ji An heard this, half of his hanging heart was finally let go.
