"Peony, serve tea."

Ren Pingsheng shouted Peony, who had come back from the backyard, and Peony glanced at him, he understood and was a little relieved.

"Mayor Ren, I am the chief banner of the Wuzhou Town Guard Mansion of the Snapdragon Division, Si Nian."

Si Nian picked up the teacup and introduced himself.

Ren Pingsheng had relaxed a lot at this time, at least in terms of attitude and tone, the other party didn't look like he was looking for trouble.

"Mayor Ren, I'm waiting for this trip for that pig demon. We got the news that the caravan of Qixing Merchant in Qingcheng Town hunted a pig demon in Quanshan, I don't know if it's true? ”

Si Nian has the neat and neat characteristics of a soldier, and asked straight to the point at this time.

"Not bad."

Ren Pingsheng was silent, but his heart was dark.

He originally thought that the imperial court was already at the end of the crossbow, and the decree could no longer be issued in Beijing, and the place would be chaotic, and he had no scruples about acting accordingly.

But I didn't expect this Snapdragon Division to be so powerful!

Lu Junyi was covered with a black cloth all the way, and in the process of pulling the pig demon back, it was also a secret.

Unexpectedly, it was only the day after the pig demon came back, and the people from the Snapdragon Division had already come to the door!

The intelligence capabilities of this Snapdragon Division are also too terrifying.

I just don't know if it's the news that has been revealed in the town office, or whether Lu Junyi has leaked news along the way, or whether the Snapdragon Division has some outstanding intelligence-gathering ability.

No matter what point it is, the situation at this time is definitely not a good thing for Ren Pingsheng!

"I wonder where this pig demon corpse is?"

Si Nian asked.

Ren Pingsheng replied: "The corpse is already stinking, and after the cook dissected it, he threw away the carrion, and there were still some bones left." ”

Si Nian nodded: "Can you find this kind of bead in the pig demon's body?" ”

As she spoke, she took out a jade box and took out a bead the size of a soybean with this earthy yellow sheen on it.

"What is this?"

Ren Pingsheng asked pretending to be curious.

"It's ······ You are the mayor and regimental trainer of Qingcheng Town, and you can be regarded as an official, so it doesn't hurt to tell you. This is the demon pill in the monster's body, and some people call it a rosary.

You haven't seen it? ”

She hesitated, answered the question, and asked again.

"No, yesterday, the cook in the house dissected this pig demon very carefully, but I didn't see any beads."

When Ren Pingsheng said this, he was a little stubborn.

About monsters and aliens, it actually involves his knowledge blind spots. He didn't even know how to answer these questions.

And there are a lot of people who have seen the demon pill yesterday, the cook, Lu Junyi, and the peony······ If you think about it, there are seven or eight.

If Si Nian sent someone to ask at this time, it would be easy to get out of the way.

But the demon pill of the pig demon has disappeared, and if you answer yes, it may cause a lot of trouble. It should be the best, at least the room for maneuver will be a little bigger.

However, what Ren Pingsheng didn't expect was that Si Nian didn't dwell on this, but nodded: "The pig demon can be killed by mortals, it should be not long after becoming a demon, and after being dead for more than ten days, the demon pill the size of a grain of rice has dissipated between heaven and earth, which is also normal." ”

"Mr. Si, can you tell me about this monster? Ever since I saw the monster, I have always felt a little uneasy in my heart, the living corpses outside the city are already a headache, if this monster also comes out to harm the common people, then how can the people outside the city live? How can this grain be produced? How many people can live in this world without food? ”

Ren Pingsheng asked a heartbroken question.

When Si Nian heard this, she already had a good impression of Ren Pingsheng, and her eyes flashed with admiration, obviously she had a good impression of this good official who cared about the people.

"Mayor Ren can relax, the changes in heaven and earth, but in eight years, whether it is a monster or an alien - that is, a person with special abilities, it has not appeared for a long time, and the threat shown is not great, and the imperial court has a Snapdragon Division to cut off monsters, and there are very few monsters that can break into the people, and they will not disturb the world in a short time."

Si Nian explained.

Ren Pingsheng saw that Si Nian was very good at talking, and immediately continued to ask: "However, this pig demon can control water, and the skin and flesh on his body are still invulnerable, if it weren't for the fact that there happened to be a capable person in the caravan at that time, I'm afraid no one would be able to escape."

I don't know if Si Zongqi can tell some basic common sense of monsters, and also let us have some ways to deal with it locally. ”

Si Nian shook his head: "This monster is the same as the stranger, with different abilities, but the ability of the monster to awaken, most of them are aggressive, and they are not something that ordinary people can deal with.

If you only rely on the joint defense and protection of the villagers, this is very difficult.

Yes······ It's not that there is no way to deal with it, these monsters can also hunt and die if they face elite soldiers with strong bows, crossbows, guns and knives in hand, and armor. In the face of flint firebolts, in addition to rough-skinned monsters such as wild boars, mes, and bears, they can usually be dealt with.

But the cost of doing so is too great, and there are not so many officers and soldiers who can protect every village and town.

However, Mayor Ren still don't worry about this, most of the demons appear in the deep mountains and old forests, although Qingcheng Town is close to the Quanshan Mountain Range, but the monsters generally do not go down the mountain. I'm in the Snapdragon Division, and I don't encounter a few demon messages a year, let alone a place. ”

Si Nian briefly said a little common sense, and then he didn't want to talk about monsters anymore.

Ren Pingsheng quickly summarized the key points in his mind.

1. After the monster dies, the demon pill will dissipate. However, looking at the jade box that Si Nian took out, it should have the effect of preserving the demon pill.

Second, in addition to the rough-skinned and thick-skinned animals, monsters will basically be killed by firearms.

3. Monsters basically appear in the deep mountains and old forests, and they are very rare in the outside world on weekdays.

This at least pointed out a direction for Ren Pingsheng to find monsters.

"Master Si, I don't know ······ this bead"

Ren Pingsheng saw that the other party put the demon pill back into the jade box, and wanted to ask about the role of the demon pill, but he was worried that the other party would doubt himself, so half a sentence popped out of his mouth, and the rest was swallowed back.

Si Nian thought that Ren Pingsheng wanted to see this demon pill, so he handed over the demon pill without thinking too much: "Speaking of which, this demon pill is also a very precious good thing.

Among us humans, there are people who have the gift of becoming inhuman. However, the imperial court once conducted a special inspection by sampling method, and there are very few people with talent, and it is difficult to find a few people in a county government.

And among them, those who can awaken on their own are even rarer! Known as the Congenital Awakened.

This demon pill is like a handful of human talents, those who have talents, but have not been able to awaken on their own, if they encounter a matching demon pill, they can be stimulated and guided, and awaken their own abilities······

Huh? ”

Si Nian, who was talking, suddenly found the demon pill in Ren Pingsheng's hand, and the scorching halo on his body flickered a few times.
