"The entire fleet, including the soldiers of the Forces nouvelles and all the crews, was killed, and no one survived. ”

"Judging by the circumstances of the crashed ship, it is certain that the merchant ship was sunk by internal detonation. No traces of the battleship's hedge were found, nor were there any traces of a large ballista attack. It's an unconventional battle. Therefore, it is also impossible to determine the circumstances of the attack on the ship. ”

"All the goods have been found, and it can be determined that the attacker is not seeking money. ”

"No other bodies were found at the scene, and it is not possible to identify the attackers for the time being. ”

"After a blood test, it was confirmed that no one was injured. The attacking party should all be high-level cultivators, and the number will not be small. Because the ships crashed so close to each other that it was certain that the attack was sudden, and none of the ships in the fleet even had time to escape. ”

On the first day of the fleet's disappearance, the monkeys thought it was just another mismanagement, and it wasn't until the dragons also heard the news that the fleet was missing, and they were really sure that something was wrong.

Immediately afterward, someone was sent to search. The process was very simple, and it only took them half a day to find out along the waterway.

When the monkey arrived at the scene with a different angle, what they saw were ten crashed merchant ships, corpses everywhere, goods scattered everywhere, and the people of the West Sea Dragon Palace who had arrived at the scene first and had already begun to investigate.

Billowing smoke rose into the sky, and in the setting sun, it all looked like a Shura field.

Walking among the wreckage, the monkey could see various stumps and severed arms, charred bodies, and distorted faces. That look can be described as shocking.

"Withered leaves?" asked the Horn.

The monkey reached out and gently picked up the hand of a demon soldier, and found that the hand bone was actually broken into seven knots, which is not an exaggeration to describe it as crushed.

This demon soldier monkey has the impression that his cultivation is not high, but he also has a god realm. He has followed the monkeys since he was in the country of lions and camels. He was also responsible for the deployment of 50 soldiers in this fleet.

Judging from the injury, unless he was deliberately abused, a single blow could hit him to this extent, and it could be determined that the other party was at least a God Realm cultivator, and it had to be a practitioner's path, otherwise it would be impossible to do it.

"What do we do next? If they do it right, and we don't have any proof that they did it......"

The monkey still did not answer, but continued to pace through the wreckage, looking around.

What to look for, even he himself couldn't tell. Perhaps, I just want to take a walk.

Watching someone you know die, even if it's not very familiar, is certainly not a comfortable thing. However, after so many years, he has also become accustomed to it.

What's the saying?

"Ci is not in charge of the army. ”

That's probably how the monkey is feeling right now.

You cannot be merciful to your enemies, for to be merciful to your enemies is to be cruel to yourself.

Nor can you be merciful to your own people, because all the results of war must come at a price. When you fight, there will be sacrifices, and you have to watch your own people die one by one. And if you don't do anything, in this world, in the end, you will actually die. And will die even more ugly. This is already the consensus of everyone in the New Army.

All you can choose is how to die.

This demon soldier is one of the prices paid by the monkey and the dragon clan......

After a while, Ao Lie finally walked towards the monkey, looked at the monkey and whispered, "Did you find anything?"

"Nope. The monkey shook his head.

"I didn't find it here. Handing the notebook in his hand to the guard beside him, Ao Lie turned his words around and said, "There is one thing, although it is not appropriate to say it now, but I think it seems necessary to say it." ”

"What?" asked the monkey.

Clearing his throat, Ao Lie continued, "That's right. The murderer must be investigated, but there is another thing that we have to deal with before the murderer can be found. That is the issue of compensation. We hired you to escort you for safety, and we paid for it. Now there is a problem with safety, although you and I have been killed and injured, but after all, our losses account for the lion's share. You guys...... Shouldn't it be indicated?"

As he spoke, he turned his face sideways and gave the monkey a cautious look.

The half-crouching monkey's hand paused, his expression still flat. The corner who was standing was a little flustered, and his eyes kept going back and forth between the two of them.

"What do you want me to say?" the monkey slowly stood up with his knees propped up, not looking at Ao Lie.

Hearing this, Ao Lie smiled and said, "This means that it must be a matter of money." How many more people can you die? It doesn't take much, just compensate for the loss this time. This prince made a preliminary estimate, about two million silver claws. That is, a compensation of 1.6 million silver claws. In this way, it is more reasonable. ”

"Okay. The monkey smiled and said, "General Ben will talk to your fourth sister about this matter." ”

Ao Lie seemed to be a little disappointed when he said this.

Without waiting for Ao Lie to say anything, the monkey turned around and left. However, he had barely taken a few steps before Ao Lie spoke up again.

"Won't you negotiate the price? Talk to my fourth sister, won't she have to talk to us too? When the time comes, it may not be eighty, but a real two million silver claws. And even more. ”

Stopped, the monkey slowly turned to look at Ao Lie, and said, "You...... What does this mean?"

"I mean, this time, it's impossible to say that you're not at fault. But I also believe that things can be resolved, so that your escort will not be found useless. Otherwise, I'm sure you'll just keep you from escorting in the future. But I hope that in the future, you can talk to me, not with my fourth sister. After all...... I can't control the four seas, can it be that I can't manage the affairs of the West Sea, can't I still take care of it?"

After saying this, the monkey quickly understood. But......

"I know what you said, I'll talk to your fourth sister. With that, the monkey turned around and walked forward step by step, leaving the scene. Ao Lie, who was so angry that his face was flushed, but he was helpless.

At this point, who still has the time to pay attention to the struggle for power and profit within their dragon clan?

The location of the accident is two thousand miles away from the demon capital, and for the two monsters in the god realm, it is just a quarter of an hour's work.

In the blink of an eye, the monkey had already returned to the demon capital with the horns and met Ao Tingxin.

"Is there anything wrong with you?"

"There's a little bit of a problem, but it's not a big problem, I can handle it. My father and uncles would not have completely rejected the plan because of this incident. Confidence must have been shaken, though. Also, I've ordered the news to be blocked on this matter. ”

"Okay. I'll find out and give you an explanation as soon as possible. ”

After a few simple words, the monkey left the dragon's mansion.

"What are we going to do next?" asked the Ambiguity along the way. However, the monkey didn't even give a positive answer, just said it casually, leaving the odds alone. It's business as usual.

Also, this matter cannot be leaked. At least, it can't be leaked now.

Back at the camp, the monkey found the nine-headed worm for the first time.

"You want me, help you?"

"Yes. Only you can help me. Looking at the moonlight outside the window, the monkey whispered, "There are so many ships of the dragon clan that it is impossible for trade to stop all at once. We can only find out this matter by ourselves. I'm too thin on my own. I need you to help me. In addition, I will also ask two senior brothers for help. ”

"Do you want to investigate? Isn't this matter clearly the work of the withered leaves?"

"Then we have to find proof. ”

"Looking for evidence...... What about the conditions? Don't you need to talk about the conditions when you ask for help?"

"What conditions do you want?"

"I went to the Halloween Dragon Palace to propose a kiss before, but I was directly rejected. As an ancient demon, I feel very shameless. I heard that you have a good relationship with the dragon clan, why don't you help me find a way to let me marry Nuan Nuan?"

The monkey glanced at the hydra out of the corner of his eye and said casually, "Okay." ”

The hydra frowned, and laughed, "You promised so quickly, there won't be any fraud, right?"

"I just promised to help you find a way, and I don't guarantee success. ”

"Am I not at a loss?"

"Then will you help?"

Pursing his lips and thinking about it, the hydra said, "Okay, help you." I was just in a panic and wanted to find something to do. Then again, how do you want to help?"

"Dive into the Dead Leaves with me. ”

Hearing this, the nine-headed insect's eyes were about to bulge out.
