Chapter Twenty-Four: The Drought Monster

Chen En and Li Shufeng's hidden identities in Firefox Town are fur traders, and they open a company in the town called

The shop of the "Zongheng Commercial Bank", along the way, Shui Ling'er specially inquired about the Zongheng Commercial Bank, and found that this commercial house was really innocent and had an excellent reputation, and she was quite satisfied with these two registered disciples of Luoyue Peak.

After entering the trading house, I found that the trading house was packed up magnificently, all kinds of fur samples were displayed on both sides of the counter, and there were a lot of gorgeous fur processing products on the counter in the middle, and there was an endless stream of people who came to buy, and most of them were bulk purchases, and the business was excellent, no wonder they could contribute a lot of spirit stones every year.

After Chen En invited the two to the inner hall, he touched the mechanism in the inner hall and brought the two into the underground secret room. This secret room has been specially built with a defensive barrier that prevents the detection of divine sense, and is extremely secretive and safe.

After entering the secret room, Chen En and Li Shufeng glanced at each other and bowed one after another: "Chen En and Li Shufeng, the registered disciples of the Falling Moon Peak of the Phantom Sword Sect, have visited the master. "Because the two of them are descendant disciples, two levels higher than Chen En and the others, they have to perform the junior ceremony.

Shui Ling'er and Yun Feng didn't mind these forms, and waved their hands to signal that they didn't have to be restrained. After the four of them sat down, Shui Ling'er hurriedly asked: "A few days ago, I received an urgent summons from the two of you about the change in Firefox Mountain, and the sect sent us to investigate, what are the specific details, and there will be new changes in the near future." Chen En didn't answer immediately, but gave Li Shufeng a look, and Li Shufeng immediately stood up and took out a metal box from a secret compartment, put it in front of the table where Yunfeng and the others were, and opened it carefully.

There was a burst of heat from inside the box, and then a rancid smell came out, and the two of them took a closer look, and there were a few red stiff hairs as thick as eyebrows in the box.

Shui Ling'er couldn't help but be shocked, after all, Yun Feng and the others had been familiar with all kinds of scriptures in the sect since they were children, and they were extremely familiar with all kinds of items in the cultivation world, and now this hair was like the corpse hair of a drought!

The drought is recorded in the "Wild Classics" as follows: "There are corpses in the south, and the corpses become corpses, and then they become foxes, and then they become demons, with a body length of six feet, a green face and fangs, a sharp and red hair, eyes on the top, and walk like the wind." The place I saw was a great drought for three years, and the red land was thousands of miles, like a burn, for the drought. "The conditions for the formation of this fish are extremely harsh, it takes three thousand years to transform the corpse into a shape, and it will take thousands of years to turn into a demon and become a drought fish, and the place where the drought fish appears in the world, the surrounding temperature will become extremely high, and there will be no living creatures within a hundred miles to survive.

If it was true that there was a drought, which was about to appear, it would be a catastrophe. The cultivation of every mature Drought Devil is equivalent to the Dao Leader of the peak stage of the Transformation of the Gods, and the entire Illusory Sword Sect counts the Supreme Elder, and the Transformation of the Divine Dao is only ten fingers, and the strength of the Drought Devil is much higher than that of the ordinary Transformation Divine Dao Chief, and even the Sect Master Sanfeng Zhenren may not be its opponent.

Shui Ling'er was afraid that the news was wrong, so she carefully asked the two of them about the origin of the corpse hair. Originally, half a month ago, there was a hunter at the foot of Firefox Mountain, who got lost his way while chasing a firefox while hunting on the mountain, and accidentally strayed into a cliff, and found a large number of dried corpses of beasts that had been sucked dry blood at the bottom of the cliff.

The next day, the furs were sent to the shop to be sold, and although the shop men smelled a slight fishy smell of the furs, they saw that they were in good condition, and they were really rare animal skins of more than 100 years, so they bought them at a high price.

Who knew that the next day came the news of the Orion's violent death, and his death was extremely strange and miserable: the corpse's eyes were wide open, its cheeks were sunken, its black hair had turned red, its head was shriveled like a skeleton, its skin was wrinkled and dry, like a dried corpse scorched by fire, its nails were covered with red bristles, and it looked as if it had been slowly burned and dehydrated, and it must have experienced an extremely painful struggle before its death.

Chen En, who came from a business background and had a shrewd mind, deduced that Orion's tragic death must be related to the fur he brought back, and hurried to Orion's house to check it out.

After pretending to help the deceased's family deal with the funeral, he secretly took some red hairs from Orion's fingernails and brought them back, and then he carefully examined the furs he had purchased from Orion, and found a small amount of red hairs on some of them, which were exactly the same as those in Orion's nails.

Although he didn't know this hair, he also knew that this thing must not be simple, and after collecting it together, he sent a message to the sect and waited for the people from the sect to come.

Hearing him say this, Shui Ling'er judged that nine times out of ten it was the hair of the drought, but this dartle should be underage, otherwise as long as it touched its hair, the hunter and those demon beasts would be burned to ashes, but although it was only an underage drought, it was not something they could provoke, and they must immediately ask the sect for help.

Chen En continued to report on the situation in Firefox Mountain: "In the past half a month, the beasts of Firefox Mountain have been restless, often attacking villages and towns in groups, and he has secretly led people to intercept the attacks of several groups of beasts, but the recent attacks have become more and more intense, and the beasts are gathering more and more, I am afraid that a super-large-scale beast tide is about to break out, and Firefox Town is also in danger of being destroyed, so he hurriedly sent a message to the sect and asked the sect to decide how to deal with it." Shui Ling'er nodded, and praised Chen En and the others for doing things without leaking, and promised that after this matter, they would be recommended as disciples of the outer sect of Luojian Peak, and they could go to the Phantom Sword Sect to cultivate.

After Shui Ling'er finished answering the question, Yun Feng added, "Have you two heard the news that there is a strange treasure in Firefox Mountain?" Hearing this, the two of them were surprised, but they didn't expect that Yun Feng had already found out the news that had only been rumored among Dao cultivators recently before they arrived in Firefox Town.

* Usually in charge of news inquiry, he knows more about the specifics, he hurriedly replied: "This news was transmitted a few days ago by a monastic sect called Xunjinmen around Firefox Town, and it is rumored that the reason why there is such a change in Firefox Mountain is related to the temperature anomaly of the leyline, and the treasure hunting instrument in the Jinmen does show that the fire element attribute of Firefox Mountain is abnormal recently, so they judge that there may be a fire attribute treasure that is bred and formed under Firefox Mountain and will be born." This sect is extremely good at treasure hunting and tomb robbing, and although it is despised by other sects, it has made many friends with many sects because it can obtain news of the appearance of many treasures in advance. However, this Firefox Mountain has not heard of the appearance of high-level demon beasts and monks for thousands of years, so most people think that this news is fake news to confuse the public, and the truth may be that they have fallen in love with the tomb of which family they have fallen in love with. After Li Shufeng finished speaking in one breath, he added: "But since we already know that the mutation is caused by the drought, there is a good chance that the news of this strange treasure is false." After listening to the ins and outs of everything, Shui Ling'er hurriedly used the only 10,000-mile transmission note on her body to make an emergency message to Shimen, informing Shimen of the news of the appearance of the drought and the strange treasure.

The speed of the notes was extremely fast, and the message was delivered to the sect's transmission hall after a few breaths. The Transmission Hall accepted that the disciple governor was in a hurry to report to the sect master, and the sect master was busy recruiting the peak masters to discuss reinforcements.

Several people in the secret room of the trading house made a brief arrangement for the next tasks: Li Shufeng continued to inquire about the news, Chen En sent good men to the Huohu Mountain station to observe, Yunfeng went to the North and South Dart Bureau to deal with the aftermath, and Shui Ling'er sat in the Zongheng Commercial Bank to wait for the increase in the number of members of the sect and the arrival of news.

Everything was arranged, Chen En prepared a sumptuous dinner to entertain the two, after last night's fighting, everyone was a little tired, and after the meal, they all went to rest early.

On the second day, after recuperation, everyone regained their mental and physical strength, and Yun Feng's spiritual power at this moment also recovered as before.

During this period, he profoundly realized how fragile he was without spiritual cultivation. Because he was worried about the people of the dart bureau, he came to the north and south dart bureau branches early, and the outside of the dart bureau was full of white lanterns, and two people wearing white clothes and black filial arms were guarding the door.

Yun Feng felt sad in his heart, these bold men were still talking and laughing with him yesterday, and they died today, and heaven and man will be separated forever.

This tragedy could have been avoided, if it weren't for the mission of the sect, because of Shui Ling'er's insistence, everyone could still get together to drink and talk today, he still hasn't figured it out, is the mission of the sect really more important than so many lives?

Walking into the dart game, there are more than 20 black wooden coffins in the lobby, and the hall is full of dense family members of the deceased, including weak women and children with sad faces, ancient old people who have lost their beloved sons, and even swaddling children who don't know the world and are waiting to be fed.

Looking at these pitiful and helpless eyes, Yun Feng couldn't bear it in his heart, his eyes were ruddy, he bowed to the family members on both sides one by one, and went to the incense burner to put on three sticks of incense, his heart was full of sadness, guilt, repentance and a trace of confusion.

After the incense, he came to the Zeng brothers again, although the two have been out of danger of life, but still unable to move, just sitting in a wheelchair to attend the funeral of the brothers, the two took Yunfeng's hand and said: "Little brother Yunfeng, I didn't expect you to be able to send these brothers on the last journey, if it weren't for you and a few immortal masters that day, I'm afraid even we would have to die in the mouth of the beast, I thank you for the brothers of the North and South Dart Bureau." When we are healed, we will come to the door to thank you. Yun Feng held the hands of the two tightly, and he didn't know what to do for a while, and finally only said two words: take care.

Then he forced the two of them to give each of them a hundred taels of gold silver tickets, which he exchanged with spirit stones from Chen En in the morning, which was also a little bit of his heart.

The two wanted to resign, but they were injured and couldn't move, so they couldn't accept Yunfeng. When Yun Feng turned around and walked to the door of the lobby, he clearly heard someone say in an almost inaudible voice: "With such a good kung fu, if you had made a move earlier, the brothers would not have died so miserably." Yun Feng's body trembled, and suddenly his heart was dripping blood, after he paused, he still didn't have the courage to turn back and defend after all, this was the last time Yun Feng and everyone met.

After this incident, the reputation of the North and South Dart Bureau in Firefox Town is better than before, everyone praises it as a model of loyalty and righteousness on the rivers and lakes, the boss of the rich business firm not only did not cancel the commission, but was willing to wait until the people of the North and South Dart Bureau recovered from their injuries before setting off on the road, since then the business of the North and South Dart Bureau has become more and more popular, and the name of the Dart Bureau has been passed down for hundreds of years.
