Volume 2 Nine Plains Xuanxing Chapter 58 Dream Eating Tapir?
"If the rest of the people are connected to this burden, then this matter has nothing to do with him!"
Chu Hong said categorically.
"Alright, I'll send someone to investigate the matter now. "Li Ji is also an anxious person, just do what he says.
Everyone waited for a long time, and Li Ji ran in excitedly.
"Haha, Brother Chu, you are really a god! I just got all the tips. Sure enough, before they died, everyone went to that baggage to see or buy demon beast cubs.
Now it can be basically confirmed that there must be something wrong with this baggage. Shall we arrest him?"
Li Ji said excitedly.
"Hehe, let's go, then let's go and meet this burden fast!
Chu Hong was also quite happy, this matter had been tossed for several days, and there was finally a result.
So, a group of people went out into the street together and headed towards the old baggage.
The streets are still bustling with people, and the cries of selling come and go.
The stall called Lao Liu's Baozhai is not far from the town guard's mansion, that is, a few hundred meters away. It's a very good location.
Basically, anyone walking down this main street will pass by his stalls.
At this time, Lao Liu saw a group of people coming in his direction, and hurriedly came from behind the stall and greeted:
"My lords, look at the young beasts of the little old man, if these young beasts are properly domesticated, they will also be a good help in the future. ”
Chu Hong looked at the old Liu in front of him, and saw that he was wearing a gray short shirt with a short thorn on his waist. It's obviously in his fifties, but he still looks energetic.
In his stall, there are seven or eight animal cages. All but two of them were empty, and each of the other cages contained a small young beast.
"Yo, your stall doesn't look big, but there are a lot of these little guys?"
Chu Hong looked at it casually and said with a smile.
"Hehe, adults have a good eye! Look at me, these are all good monster cubs. For example, this spirit crane cub, this is the cub of the Clear Blank Crane, and it will be able to break through the high-grade demon beast of the Divine Illumination Realm in the future. At that time, you will be able to have a flying monster beast of the god period, whether it is the card or the scene, it will give you enough support. And it's fast. ”
"Look at this lion cub again, this is the offspring of the red-haired feathered lion, although it is not a purebred, but it is also a great demon who can break through to the realm of Shenzhao. It is definitely cute when he was young, and he is mighty when he grows up, and it is definitely the best choice for domesticating spirit beasts. ”
Lao Liu chattered endlessly and vigorously introduced his demon beast cubs, hoping that these inner disciples of Jiuyuan Mountain, who looked like Jiuyuan Mountain, would be able to buy one or two of them in a grand manner.
Chu Hong listened carefully to Lao Liu's introduction of all six demon beast cubs, but left only one young beast that looked like a pangolin and was not introduced. I couldn't help but ask curiously
"Boss, how do you sell this demon beast cub?" said Chu Hong, pointing to a cage in the far corner and asked.
"This one.... Hey, why did it come back?"
Lao Liu followed Chu Hong's fingers and found that there was a small demon beast that looked like a pangolin less than two feet long in the cage, with a pointed mouth and short limbs, but its claws looked very sharp. The body was covered with black and white armor, but the tail was less than half a foot short. At this time, he was staring at a pair of small dripping eyes, looking pitifully at the people outside the cage.
"Oh, boss, what do you mean by that?" Chu Hong suddenly became curious when he saw that even Lao Liu looked surprised when he saw this little demon beast. Hurriedly asked.
"Hey, this boy doesn't know, the old man, the demon beasts here are all captured by monks who have come here to train and put them on consignment to the old man. But this little guy is the only one who probably can't find his relatives and runs over by himself. And it's been back five or six times, and I was soft-hearted at the time, so I put it here. If there is a buyer who wants to buy, I will sell it to earn pocket money. Who knows, I sold it several times, one after the other, and each time it would come back on its own after a day or two. ”
"And it's strange to say that every time it comes back, no one comes looking for it. Just yesterday, a disciple of Xuanyin Peak looked at it pitifully and bought it back. You don't know when they ran back again. ”
Chu Hong squatted down and looked at the little beast through the cage, this little demon beast was probably afraid of Chu Hong, and kept curling up in the corner of the cage. Even frightened, he covered his pointed head with a short tail.
"Little thing, pretty cute. Boss, that's it. Give it to me, how much does it cost?" Chu Hong looked at this little thing and smiled mysteriously. Turned to Lao Liu and said.
"This lord, you have to look at it as a blessing for the little old man. It should have been given to you, but this little thing has spent a lot of money on eating, drinking and feeding me for more than half a month. How about giving six hundred taels like this?"
"Naw. This spirit stone is given to you, you don't need to look for it!, give me this cage too!" Chu Hong casually threw him a spirit stone, and then turned around and walked back with the cage in Lao Liu's gratitude.
There was no mention of the investigation of Lao Liu.
The rest of the people looked at Chu Hong's measures and were a little confused, but they saw that Chu Hong was already ready to go back. I thought Chu Hong had some ghost idea, so he followed him back to the town to guard the mansion.
Along the way, Chu Hong carried the cage, hummed a little song in his mouth, and even took out a cigarette stick and lit it and smoked twice. Get rid of the posture of a rich man walking birds.
Until he arrived at the town guard mansion, Li Ji, who had been holding back all the way, couldn't hold it back. Ran to Chu Hong and asked
"Senior Brother Chu, aren't we going to catch that burden Zhai Lao Liu? Why are you, you bought a young beast and came back? Which one are you singing again?"
"Hehe, senior brothers, you don't have to go to catch that baggage, he is not a murderer at all. I already know who the real murderer is. ”
Chu Hong said proudly.
"You know, what are we waiting for? Why don't we get him?"
As soon as Li Ji and the others heard Chu Hong's words, they immediately came to their senses, especially Hu Weiwei, who rolled up his sleeves in a matter-of-fact manner.
Chu Hong looked at the excited appearance of the crowd and laughed.
"Hahaha! No, no, I've already caught the murderer. As he spoke, he shook the cage in his hand.
Cui Jun reacted quickly at this time, and asked suspiciously, pointing to the little demon beast in the cage
"Senior Brother Chu, are you saying that the murderer is it?"
"Hehe! It's still Senior Brother Cui who is smart, and he can understand it at all! That's right, it's this little thing who did it!"
Chu Hong said with a smile.
"How is it possible? Isn't this just a pangolin? Just now I wondered why you spent a spirit stone to buy a pangolin?
Hu Weiwei pointed to the cage and said.
"You told me he was the murderer of this serial murder?"
"Senior brother be cautious, this thing is very grudgeful!" Chu Hong hurriedly stopped Hu Weiwei from continuing.
"This little creature is not simple! It's not a pangolin, it's a legendary monster! We should call it a dream tapir, or a leopard. ”
Chu Hong introduced the origin of the little demon beast in the cage to everyone.
"I once read an ancient book that recorded that when they came of age, they had a body like a horse, a nose like an elephant, a face like a lion, a head like a rhino, a tail like a cow, and legs like a tiger. When he was young, he was like a dace, his voice was like a child's cry, and he was a good eater of dreams. ”
"Look at this little guy, I guess he somehow ran here from the mountains. You must know that the adult dream-eating tapir is a great demon that surpasses the Xuanyuan Realm, and the powerful even have the strength of a pseudo-saint. It is also a well-known family in the demon clan.
Today we were able to meet a young beast, which is a great luck. And if this thing is domesticated properly, it can devour the demons of the heart. We cultivators often have inner demons, and we are most afraid of inner demons. And the demon is the favorite ingredient of this clan. ”
Chu Hong finished explaining to everyone. That's when he put this dream-eating tapir baby on the ground,
"Don't worry, it will continue to devour your dreams. Because it is still relatively weak, it can only affect the dreams of people who are within three to five zhang of him. ”
"So I bought it back this time along with the cage. If you don't let it out, there won't be any problems. ”
Chu Hong laughed and swaggered into the main hall, and casually put it on a small tea table.
"Senior Brother Li, Senior Brother Cui, don't worry! Brother Hu, junior brother, please ask you for something. You can set off now, take this Dream Eater Tapir back to the mountain as soon as possible, and hand it over to my little sister Zhan Yunqian to deal with. She'll know what to do. Remember, it must be handed over to Senior Sister Zhan in person. ”
"Okay, then I'll leave now. As he spoke, he reached out to pick up the cage in Chu Hong's hand.
"Hey, wait, remember, find a piece of cloth to cover this cage first. Then you must remember not to sleep, no matter how sleepy you are along the way. You must always be awake, otherwise even the gods will not be able to save you!"
After Chu Hong finished speaking, he was still a little uneasy, and finally Duan Kaishan took the initiative to ask Ying and Hu Weiwei to return to the sect together, and Chu Hong handed the cage to Hu Weiwei with confidence.
The death turmoil in Python Mountain Town is finally over, and Chu Hong has successfully convinced Li Ji and Cui Jun through this incident.
Not to mention anything else, Chu Hong's keen insight alone made the five bodies admired by the two of them fall to the ground.
After all, who would have thought that the one who could silently kill the seven innate masters was actually a little demon beast with an unsightly appearance?
But Chu Hong just dared to think that others didn't dare to think, and she handled this matter that almost became a headless case clearly.
Chu Hong stayed in the town guard mansion in Python Mountain Town for another three days, and until Hu Weiwei came back, there were no deaths in Python Mountain Town. After everyone was completely relieved, Chu Hong let go of all affairs. Prepare a few people to go into the mountain to experience together, waiting for the opportunity to break through the late congenital stage.
After all, Chu Hong's task on this trip was very heavy, and he had to break through to the realm of the innate peak within a one-year period. In this way, we can complete the Master's requirements and return to the mountain.
