Chapter 39: The Remains of a Behemoth
When Lin Yu took the herbs brought by the horse farm owner and was about to return to the dormitory, he found it.
During the day, the Imperial Master Academy was a little deserted, but at night, it was unusually lively.
Obviously, during the day, there were people walking around the academy very early, but at this time, he found that the number of students in the academy was actually quite large.
It's just that when these people came back, they all dragged their tired bodies and rushed back to their dormitories one by one.
The attire on those people was also varied, there was no uniform dress, and there was no sign of the Imperial Master Academy on their bodies.
Lin Yu felt a little strange about this, he casually stopped a returning student, and the other party glanced at him, and he didn't have a good breath.
"What's the matter with you? Don't you see I'm dying of exhaustion? ”
The other party's face was impatient, and Lin Yu smiled at the other party when he saw this.
"I'm sorry, I'm a newcomer who just entered the school, I don't know much about things in the academy, I see that you came back so late, and you look tired, I just want to ask, what happened?"
When the other party heard that he was new, his face softened, but his tone was still very impatient.
"Our Imperial Master Academy, it's more special, recently, King Li fought with the barbarians, some of the injured soldiers just retreated from the front line, and many of their companion spirit beasts were injured, so the academy sent us to assist in treatment, and the number of injured people was too much, and we people couldn't be busy at all, so we made it like this!
Forget it, I'm almost tired, don't say more! ”
As he spoke, he pushed Lin Yu away with an impatient face, and then staggered back to his dormitory.
King Li's war with the barbarians?
When he first heard the news, Lin Yu was still a little puzzled.
He only knew that the Xuanhuang Kingdom was ruled by Emperor Xuanyuan, and there were several princes under him, namely King Zhi, King Bai, King Xuan, King Li, and King Dong.
Several princes were in charge of their own troops to protect the border land, so that the border of Xuanhuang was not disturbed by foreign invasions, and the people in the mainland lived and worked in peace and contentment.
However, he did not know that wars were breaking out here from time to time, and many soldiers would suffer every day.
As for those who were able to retreat, they were all seriously wounded.
The troops on the Phantom Beast Continent are all formed by beast masters.
And those beast masters who can join the Xuanhuang Army, most of their companion spirit beasts are above the rank of soldier.
Only those who have at least the strength of a second-level beast master are eligible to join the Xuanhuang Army.
And like Lin Yu, if you want to join it, you only need someone to recommend you.
However, he didn't have such an idea for the time being, Lin Yu knew that war was very cruel, and once the flames of war were ignited, all those who encountered it would become very unfortunate.
Thankfully, there was nothing strange about that night, except for the students who came back late.
The next day, Lin Yu felt that the injury on his arm had eased a lot.
There are still corroded scars on his arms, but they are all wrapped in gauze.
He came to the wildebeest early, and the owner of the racecourse, seeing that he had come so early, happily invited him to breakfast with him.
The food given to him by the horse farm owner was some white flour steamed buns, as well as some stir-fried meat with green vegetables and dipping sauce. As for the handymen who work underneath, they only have coarse grain cakes and pickles.
Anywhere on the Phantom Beast Continent, there is a considerable difference between the treatment of beast masters and those of ordinary people.
Lin Yu is also used to this.
"You're here so early? I was wondering if I should call you when I came over! ”
While he was eating, a familiar voice suddenly sounded in Lin Yu's ears.
When I looked up, it was Li Qingyuan, today, she only wore a simple dress, and her hair was tied back with a red rope.
Her face looked much whiter than yesterday.
He guessed that it was the result of the injuries at that time.
"Seeing that your hands can still move, it shouldn't be a big problem, right?"
As soon as Li Qingyuan came up, he began to care about his injuries.
Lin Yu raised his arm and swung it at her a few times.
"I'm fine! What about you? ”
"Of course I'm fine too! Hurry up and eat! We'll leave right away, get things done early and we'll be able to go back. By the way, after the deed is completed, there will be 300% of my 300,000 miles away! ”
Lin Yu pursed his lips, feeling that the other party was so concerned, he was still thinking about her tens of thousands of gold coins.
Soon after, a group of people gathered in the wildebeestal farm.
There are handymen who do chores here, and there are some guards.
Among them, except for Lin Yu and Li Qingyuan, only the captain of the guard in the venue was a beast master.
The other party is a third-level beast master, and the wild boar of the Royal Beast Mountain next to him is a companion spirit beast of the hundred soldiers.
The strength of this guard chief was a little unexpected by Lin Yu, but he didn't expect that in this small wildebeest farm, there was a beast master of no low level, it seems that the behind-the-scenes boss of the wildebeest farm is not simple!
Not long after, under the leadership of Lin Yu, the people came to the place where they had been yesterday.
There, the ground was littered with insect corpses, and black water overflowing everywhere.
The corpses of huge beasts were emitting a strong rancid smell.
"Gross! Is this the thing that has plagued my wildebeests? ”
The owner of the horse farm looked at the incomparably large corpse on the ground, and there was an incredible expression in his eyes.
"That's right, that's it, after the corpse rots, the corpse water will penetrate into the ground, and some of the corpse poison will flow down the water, and you people in the wildebeest farm may not know about it, and after feeding this water to the wildebeest, it will cause them to get sick.
If you don't get rid of it as soon as possible, the water quality in the river will get worse when it's completely rotten. When the time comes, your wildebeest will only die more! ”
Upon hearing this, the owner of the horse farm immediately turned pale.
He hurriedly instructed his subordinates to put on the animal skin clothes and animal skin covers that had been prepared long ago, and began to carry the corpses.
As for the guards who came together, they were on guard around, and at the same time, when carrying the corpses of the giant beasts, they would also contribute and deal with the corpses that slipped out of it.
With the help of everyone, the cleaning progress of the site has been accelerated a lot.
Wait until the surrounding corpse insects are completely eliminated and start carrying the corpses of the giant beasts.
Lin Yu deliberately walked around to the back of the corpse and observed the whole picture of the corpse of this giant beast.
The size of this thing is quite small, the body is slender, from the head, there are countless links, and then below the chest, there is a pair of deformed claws, and further down, there is a bloated and rotten chest and abdomen, and the lower body.
Because this thing has been dead for a while, and a lot of skin and flesh on its body have been devoured by the beasts of the nearby mountains and forests.
However, the remaining internal organs and flesh on his body were still rotten into pulp, and the surrounding ground was completely blackened.
"What are you looking at?"
Li Qingyuan saw that he was looking at the corpse in a daze, so he walked over and stood on a high ground with him and looked down.
"I'm just a little strange about what kind of beast can grow so big, and it doesn't seem to be an ordinary beast species. The legs are stout and have a long tail. Its head is relatively large, and the teeth in its mouth are also thick and sharp, and it looks like a carnivorous beast. As far as I know, there should not be such a large spirit beast species in Xuanhuang Country. ”
"Could that be a very rare species? An ownerless spirit beast species? ”
"Impossible! Such a big beast, if it dies here for no reason, it will definitely cause a lot of movement! Why don't you ask the owner of the horse farm if there are no strange things happening in this area lately. ”
