Chapter 38: Murder (5)
After tossing and turning in the grotto, Jiang Yuan finally withdrew from the form of Yan, and his body quickly shrank to half of its original size, returning to the appearance of a normal person.
He picked up the short sword on the ground, which was obviously a good thing to be able to seal zombies.
After scraping off the plankton from the surface of the dagger in the pool of water, the dagger revealed its true form.
The short sword was cold and bright, and the sword grid was cast into a vicious beast shape, Jiang Yuan knew that it was Jianxi. Jairus, leopard body and dragon head, strong personality, brave and good at fighting, thirsty for killing and aggressive.
The aura on it is very similar to the wooden sign that Sun Daming gave him, but it seems to be very different.
Jiang Yuan didn't have time to delve into it, he took the short sword and planned to leave.
Passing through the rocks and walking up the gentle slope, Jiang Yuan stopped again, patted his head and said:
"I almost forgot, there was still a little bug that didn't solve it. ”
Jiang Yuan's eyes searched in the empty grotto, and the whole space was silent, only the stalactites on the top of the cave occasionally fell to the ground.
"Do you think I won't find you if you hide?"
Jiang Yuan smiled:
"A bed bug can ask about your smell from so far away!"
Now Jiang Yuanyan's form has further matured, his physical fitness has been further improved, and the sensitivity of his facial features has reached a terrifying level.
Although the spider-like monster didn't make a sound at all, Jiang Yuan was able to ask about its unique taste.
His lower body squatted slightly, and the whole person jumped up violently, instantly jumping over several boulders, towards the dark corner of the cave.
As it fell, flames burst out in his hand. In the firelight, the monster could be seen squeaking in fright, and its four legs were desperately moving towards the distance.
"Can you run away?"
As soon as Jiang Yuan landed, he quickly chased after him.
After only a few breaths, Jiang Yuan rushed behind the monster. He stretched out his right hand and jerked one of the monster's backs, pulling it all back.
The monster struggled desperately, but it couldn't break free, so it could only turn around and stab the remaining three long legs towards Jiang Yuan's body.
Jiang Yuan didn't dodge it, those limbs as sharp as spears pierced his body, bursting out a spark, but they couldn't even pierce his skin.
"Hey, hey, hey, break your leg and see how you run?"
As he spoke, Jiang Yuan broke all the monster's legs.
The monster's squeaking screams became more and more sharp, but it was really like a worm in Jiang Yuan's hands, and it could only be slaughtered by others.
Jiang Yuan followed the end of the monster's limbs and looked at the belly of the lower half of the Night Patrolman's body, he reached out and tore the Night Guard's abdomen open, pulling out the monster's body from it.
What was taken out was a human head, and it was the strange face that looked at Jiang Yuan before. At this time, the expression of the strange face is extremely distorted, and the smile sometimes appears and sometimes disappears.
The limbs of the monster all grew from the back of the monster's head.
Jiang Yuan thought that the monster's body was in this human head, so he tore the human head open in an attempt to get a glimpse of it.
However, after the human head was torn open, there was only some slurry inside, and there was no body.
In other words, this human head with six black limbs is the monster itself.
At the same time, a ghostly aura also emerged from the slurry.
The slurry seemed to be extremely corrosive, dripping to the ground and corroding the rock into a small crater.
However, this level of corrosiveness could not help Jiang Yuan's skin at all.
After absorbing the ghost qi, Jiang Yuan was surprised:
"So it's settled?"
The appearance of ghost qi often means that the demon has been killed. Jiang Yuan didn't expect that he would kill this monster so easily.
"This thing isn't very strong, is it...... I'm still too cautious, I always think that there are powerful demons everywhere. Taoguang has been in obscurity for a long time, and he has lost his self-confidence. ”
Jiang Yuan took a piece of iron chain that was still intact from the side of the cold pool, tied up the monster's corpse, and then dragged the monster's corpse towards the outside of the cave.
After a rough and tortuous road, Jiang Yuan finally came to the cave again.
The scenery outside the cave has turned golden, and I didn't expect that I had been in the cave for so long, and the sun was about to set.
Meng Dong, who had been waiting outside the cave, almost didn't cry when he saw Jiang Yuan:
"Jiang Zhutou! You're finally out! If something happens to you, how will I explain it when I go back?"
Jiang Yuan smiled, and then dragged the monster's body out of the cave.
Seeing the hideous and terrifying monster, Meng Dong was so frightened that he retreated again and again:
"What the hell is this?!"
Jiang Yuan naturally didn't bother to explain to him, he was about to drag the monster down the mountain, but suddenly stopped:
"By the way, give me your clothes!"
Jiang Yuan's whole body clothes had already been burned when he entered the form of flame, although the form of flame was powerful, but this was not very good.
Meng Dong hurriedly took off his soap suit, leaving only his underwear.
As for why Jiang Yuan was naked, Meng Dong didn't dare to ask. Asking your boss about things that are difficult to talk about is a big no-no.
After getting dressed, Jiang Yuan went down the mountain with Meng Dong.
It was easy to go up the mountain and difficult to go down, and by the time the two returned to Xishan Village, it was already night.
At night, the frogs in the paddy fields around Xishan Village are croaking, but the fields are not taken care of by the owner for the time being.
After the two entered the village, they found that the rice field in the village was on fire, and it seemed that something was burning.
Around the roaring fire, in addition to catching fast during the day, there was also a team of night guards, led by Xia Mingxuan, the captain of the night guard.
After Xia Mingxuan saw Jiang Yuan, his face was very ugly.
He came up with the Night Guard and said in a cold voice:
"Jiang Zhutou is really nonsense! No matter how high your martial arts are, what can you do? Dealing with demons and ghosts, we night guards are professional! Now it's okay, you take away the only one who knows the whereabouts of the insects, and we have to wait here for a long time. With such a delay, do you know how serious the matter is?"
"Laugh and laugh. Jiang Yuan said casually.
As soon as Xia Mingxuan came, he asked the teacher to ask for guilt, he was the oldest, and he was not his boss. Even if Zhou Cunjian comes, it may not be possible for Jiang Yuan to sell his face.
"What kind of attitude do you have?" Xia Mingxuan gritted his teeth in anger, if it weren't for Jiang Yuan's extremely high martial arts, he would have slapped him to death immediately, "Do you know the harm of a reckless insect? A reckless insect is no less than a large-scale plague for a city!"
Speaking of this, Xia Mingxuan pointed to the blazing fire on the rice field and said:
"The worms have already metamorphosed, and if we delay for one more day, there will be hundreds more poisonous people like that!"
I saw that in the midst of the flames, in addition to the pile of meat full of black thorns being thrown into it, there was also the catcher who was stabbed by the black thorn during the day.
The catcher was obviously killed first before being thrown into the fire, if it hadn't been thrown in for a short time, Jiang Yuan really wouldn't have recognized it.
Seeing this scene, Jiang Yuan's eyes lit up:
"How dare you kill my people without my permission?"
Xia Mingxuan said quietly:
"He has been polluted by insects, and evil energy has entered his body. If he had been allowed to come into contact with others, he would have poisoned more people a long time ago!"
Jiang Yuan took two deep breaths, suppressed the anger in his chest, and said slowly:
"I don't have to worry about you today! I want to ask Lord Xia, how are you going to deal with that worm of yours?"
Xia Mingxuan snorted coldly and said:
"The reckless insect is not something that our martial artists can deal with at all, even if it is a Ninefold Cultivation of the Four Extremes Realm or even higher, it is impossible to hurt the reckless insect in the slightest! The only thing that can be done is to use spiritual blood to drive it out of the Yang City Realm!"
Jiang Yuan laughed twice when he heard this:
"I thought Lord Xia had some high opinions, but it turned out to be nothing more than that!"
"You!" Xia Mingxuan was furious, almost about to have a seizure.
As soon as Jiang Yuan pulled the chain, the corpse of the monster behind him was ripped and flew over, smashing heavily in front of Xia Mingxuan.
After Xia Mingxuan and the night guards saw the monster corpse clearly, they jumped back a few steps in fright.
"It's ...... Worms!"
"Is it dead or alive?"
"Run, no, no, use your blood!"
......
In the exclamation of the night guard, Xia Mingxuan forcibly suppressed the fear in his heart, and carefully looked at the insects bound by the iron chain for a while.
When Xia Mingxuan saw that the head of the insect had been torn apart, he breathed a sigh of relief, and he looked at Jiang Yuan in disbelief:
"This ...... You killed it?"
Jiang Yuan smiled, stepped forward and grabbed Xia Mingxuan's collar and said:
"Lord Xia, whether my people should be killed or not in the future, I have the final say! If you dare to kill my people without my consent again, I will definitely tear your head open like this worm!"
Although Jiang Yuan was so rude, both Xia Mingxuan and the night guard were intimidated by the insects, and no one dared to make a sound for a while.
However, the surrounding catchers all felt angry, the night guards have always been rampant and domineering, and today as soon as they entered the village, they killed the catchers who were stabbed by the black thorn, which made the catchers angry and annoyed, but they were helpless.
Today's Jiang Yuan's approach made them finally feel a lot happier.
Jiang Yuan let go of Xia Mingxuan's shirt, and then ignored him. Jiang Yuan said to the crowd:
"Brothers! Today, the case of disappearance and the case of slaughtering the village will be solved, and I will invite you to a banquet for the celebration! I will pay for the bereavement and burial expenses of the brothers who died! Everyone will go with me to the best Suyu restaurant in Yangcheng, and you will not get drunk!"
The catchers cheered, hugged Jiang Yuan and slowly left.
The Night Patrol guards who remained in place looked at each other.
Even Xia Mingxuan hasn't come back to his senses yet.
"Bug Crisis...... It just started, and it was just quelled?"
As soon as the most terrifying insects died, the pieces of meat and people that had been contaminated by him were also burned after being expelled by the evil qi of the spiritual blood, even if there were fish that slipped through the net, they only needed to be strictly investigated and prevented, and it would not take long to get rid of them.
If it weren't for the corpse of the insect at his feet, Xia Mingxuan wouldn't want to believe that all this was true.
A gust of night wind blew, and Xia Mingxuan woke up:
"Who is this Jiang Yuan? Could it be that it is the second Yan Gudao? What the hell, the children of the Gong family will actually come to be a head catcher? This matter is not trivial, I have to report it to the Prison Star Envoy immediately!"
Immediately, Xia Mingxuan commanded to the night guards:
"Two people will follow me back to the government office quickly, and the rest of the people will clean up everything around and then transport the corpse back. By the way, the ashes left behind after the burning must be collected and returned to his family tomorrow. ”
