Chapter 286: The Monster That Can't Be Found

She turned her head again and asked He Lingchuan, "Where is that monster?"

"A patrol guard heard the sound and said he would turn it in on my behalf." He Lingchuan sighed, "Now that I think about it, that person has a problem."

"What's the problem?"

"When he gets closer, the monsters I catch stop calling."

Sun Fuling didn't even raise her head: "Maybe it's just a coincidence."

"I hope so." He Lingchuan scratched his head, "But I don't understand, why do these monsters keep coming here?"

"Here?"

"You see, we've been hit by three heads alone, and we've caught two of them; And the whole city only caught a total of six. "Panlong City is so big, why don't monsters go elsewhere?

Sun Lingling thought for a moment, "Could their lair be around here?"

"Perhaps." He Lingchuan also took this into account, "Sparrowhawk just said that the pharmacist found by Commander Zhong believes that these monsters are all in the juvenile stage, judging by their bone age, and even this stage has not yet been born."

"And I just smelled a strange salty smell on the monster, wet and sticky, a bit like ......" He Lingchuan's expression was strange.

"Like what?"

He Lingchuan hesitated, he really didn't want to say that word.

"Amniotic fluid?" On the contrary, Sun Fuling asked generously.

He Lingchuan could only say, "I guess."

"If the most qualified pharmacists say they are unborn children." Sun Poria earnestly fed the sparrowhawk meat, "Then your guess is very reasonable."

"In other words, they were born with such a strong fighting power?"

This defends biological common sense. Although some animals can be hunted and survived on their own when they are born, such as crocodiles, the larvae are relatively weak and even someone else's meal.

"Strength and weakness are relative. Sun Fuling analyzed, "Maybe compared to adult parents, they are already weak."

Giant whale cubs are more than a zhang long and weigh tens of thousands of pounds when they are born.

In other words, the predators of these monster larvae β€”β€”β€”β€” humans, and they are too weak for them.

"Then we'll have to hold them sooner." Otherwise, Panlong City will suffer, "No wonder the three ...... No wonder it's hard to catch no matter how carefully you search, where can you find something that wasn't born?"

No wonder the three corpse insects can't find these monsters, they are all hiding in the mother's body!

The three corpse insects only drill seven orifices, and if they have one more trick, how can they drill into the mother's belly to inspect the fetus?

"Huh? Wait!" He Lingchuan was stunned, and suddenly felt that something was wrong.

"What?"

"Hmm...... "Since the three corpse insects can find their mothers, why don't they alert the owner of the big square pot?

Mother of monsters, is it ...... Not a monster?

This Sun Poria also finished feeding the jerky: "You can find the mother."

"......" she was to the point.

"For so many days, every corner of Panlong City has been turned up and checked several times, but there is none." Sun Lingling said as a matter of course, "Then it must have been hidden."

"yes." What He Lingchuan thought was that the high-level officials of Panlong City knew more about the wonderful use of the three corpse insects than him. As for the fact that the monster "mother" might be human, they must have deduced it a long time ago.

I don't have to worry about eating radishes salty.

"The question is, why did these monsters sneak into the city?" He Lingchuan boiled some water by the way when he lit the fire, and Sun Lingling poured a bowl of hot water and put it next to the sparrowhawk, "Panlong City is extremely unfriendly to illegal invaders, what kind of monster is willing to risk death to come in."

He Lingchuan exhaled: "After all, there is too little information in hand."

The intelligence is insufficient, it is not easy to analyze, and most of it depends on guesswork.

"So, why should people like you and me who eat cabbage worry about eating big meat?" Sun Fuling said leisurely, "Okay, I'm going back to take a shower, don't come here to borrow anything for the time being."

He Lingchuan's old face flushed: "Do you want soap horns, I have them."

Sun Fuling chuckled lightly and was about to go out, when she suddenly remembered something again: "By the way, today is the Heavenly Sacrifice Day of Panlong City, and Mr. Wen Daolun Wen will officiate at the sacrifice, do you want to go together?" Maybe there's a chance to find Wen Daolun to solve your problems."

Wen Daolun? He Lingchuan thought about it, and then remembered that this seemed to be the strategist beside Commander Zhong, and it was said that he was also proficient in divination. "Yes, of course!"

Then he asked, "What is the Day of the Heavenly Sacrifice?"

Sun Lingling looked at him fixedly.

He Lingchuan touched his nose, "I wasn't originally from Panlong City." I don't know about their customs.

"Three years ago today, Commander Zhong made the Lord sacrifice his only daughter to the gods in exchange for the attention of the gods, and Panlong City has been able to continue to this day." Sun Fuling said slowly, "Panlong City has only held one human sacrifice, and it is still Lord Zhong's closest relatives and flesh and blood. The people of the city are impressed and go to worship on this day every year. Starting this year, Panlong City has designated this day as the Heavenly Sacrifice Day."

"Since you're going to worship." He Lingchuan thought for a moment, "I'll go buy some flowers and fruits."

"Where do the flowers come from in this weather?" Sun Fuling smiled, "I've bought all the fruit cakes."

……

An hour later, the two set off on a donkey cart.

Speechless all the way.

He Lingchuan didn't say anything, and Sun Lingling didn't speak, only the car was busy.

However, her presence is strong.

Sun Poria has already changed into clothes, her wet hair is dry early, the dark clouds are fluffy, and she exudes a fragrance similar to pine wood, fresh, neutral, and good-smelling. He Lingchuan closed his eyes, and he felt that he was in the mountains and forests again.

He had only heard that the girls and ladies liked to bathe in the fragrance of flowers, and this one around him was a bit special.

The donkey cart was small, and the two had to sit next to each other. Sun Lingling held her chin and looked out, and He Lingchuan could get close to her slender neck as soon as she turned her head.

Her skin was thin and white, with pale blue veins faintly visible underneath.

No matter how you look at it, this is a young woman, and Shaohua is at the right time.

He Lingchuan couldn't help but think of all kinds of doubts about her again, and finally broke the silence

"By the way, have you been out playing these days?"

"I went out of town a few days ago, and yesterday I went to my brother's house to clean the house." Sun Fuling sighed, "Although it's an earthen house, it may have to be taken back."

Yes, accommodation in Panlong City has always been very tight. Except for the luxury houses, the other houses are designated by the city, and theoretically everyone is a resident. When a resident like Sun Jiayuan dies, the official will take back the house and distribute it to those in need.

"Brought his stuff back?"

"He doesn't have anything." Man dies like a lamp goes out, and finally there is no trace in the world.

There was another silence, and they seemed to have died of chatter.

However, his heart was full of suspicions, and finally a group of people suddenly appeared in spite of the situation:

"Miss Sun, are you also a practitioner?"

"yes, yes." Sun Lingling turned to look at him, as if she was a little surprised, "I have learned supernatural powers, practiced kung fu hard, and worked as a patrolman, and I almost entered the Gale Army."

She paused and said, "In Panlong City, there are many women who practice martial arts, and there is no shortage of guards and gale troops. Many of the girls I've taught have their goal of joining the Gale Army when they grow up."

He Lingchuan thought of his teammate Wicker, who was more fierce than a man. Panlong City wants to gather the strength of the whole city to resist foreign aggression, and it will be more than ten years, as long as they can defend the acropolis, women also have to go to the battlefield.

"But you're going to teach later?"

I was seriously wounded in battle, and my brother advised me to abandon my military career. It just so happens that the Shulu Academy is recruiting lecturers, and the treatment is good, so I'll ......" she tapped her temples, "It's important to go into battle to kill enemies, and it's not bad to train future warriors." She said softly, "Even though the environment of the Panlong Wasteland is not good, I think there is still a future in Panlong City."

People are there, hope is there, and this place has a future.

At least, seventeen years to go.

He Lingchuan knew that the average life expectancy of the Kite Country was only about 30 years, and these seventeen years were half a life for most civilians.

Sun Fu

Ling suddenly pointed ahead and said, "Is that your shop?"

They were already walking on the busiest main street, and the crowds of cars and horses were endless. He Lingchuan followed her finger and looked, and sure enough, wasn't that the store he had spent a lot of military effort on

Last time, after he collected the sundries in the store, he handed them over to the official rental and custody. Now the shop has been renovated and reopened, and there are still a few green letters written on half a large piece of bark as a sign

Yunling Island.

Just by looking at this sign, you can see that it is not food and clothing. And there are a lot of customers in the store, He Lingchuan remembers that the first monthly rent has been paid to himself, which is very rich.

Twenty years of cultivation without any problems. If it is a family of four, the whole family does not have to do anything else, and this shop alone can save the capital of marrying a daughter-in-law even with food and drink.

However, Panlong City hates people who don't work hard, so the business tax is not low, but someone in the family can be reduced or exempted according to the quota if they join the army.

Sun Fuling was very interested: "Go down and have a look?"

Of course, He Lingchuan would not refuse.

However, when Sun Fuling got out of the car, she stepped on a stone, her foot slipped, and she stumbled.

He Lingchuan held her arm with his hand: "Be careful."

Her apricot eyes were crooked, she should have smiled, and He Lingchuan found that she was lit with the candy snail shell on her left sideburns. The plain clothes accentuated this bright color.

After entering the store, He Lingchuan found that this was a magic instrument shop, which not only bought and sold all kinds of magic weapons, but also included after-sales, repair, and maintenance.

As you can imagine, the target of this shop is anchored cultivators, and most of the civilians who step into this place are mainly visiting. He Lingchuan also met a few familiar faces here, all of whom were patrols.

These people greeted him and frowned, because Sun Poria was by his side.

The shopkeeper is a white fat man, famous as a white gnat, with a little round belly and a smiling face, and he is a serious businessman at first glance.

It turned out that this was his third branch in Panlong City.

The rent of the shops on Wanglin Street is frighteningly expensive, and there are only two kinds of shops that can be opened here, either the business is hot enough, or the goods are expensive and people want them. Yunling Island is the latter.

As soon as he heard that He Lingchuan was the landlord, his enthusiasm doubled, and he poured tea and water, and said that the landlord would like the magic weapons in the store in the future, and he could buy them back at a nine-percent discountβ€”β€”β€”

As long as next year's shop rent is a little more affordable for him.
