Pseudo master, she just wants to live

Chapter 242 Surrounded
A dozen torches gathered together.

At the bottom of the pit, there was a piece of rotten straw scattered, except for more than a dozen three-foot-long sharp bamboo sticks standing inside, it was empty.

"Ugh...Deputy Captain Jiang, what's going on?!"

Shizi's face was extremely ugly.

Jiang Wenjie's bloodshot eyes were also full of shock, he slowly turned his head to look at the soldier beside him, a gloomy suspicion flashed across his pupils.

Gangzi took a step forward, panicking in his heart. He pointed to one of the bottom of the pit, and shouted eagerly: "Lieutenant, I saw the snow monster lying in it with my own eyes! My stomach was pierced with two big holes by a bamboo stick." !"

In fact, it doesn't need to be said by him, everyone can see it clearly.

The few crooked bamboo sticks in the middle were indeed stained with a lot of blood.

Fan Chen took out his sword and scratched lightly on the bamboo stick, probably because of the cold and damp weather, these bloodstains have not yet completely dried and solidified.

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, there was indeed something caught in this trap, but... where is the snow monster? !
Fang Yao was still standing behind Fan Chen. She was wearing a mask now, and she could see the black miasma emanating from the entire stone wall of the cave.

In the air, there was a strong stench and bloody smell.

She tugged on Fan Chen's sleeve, and the latter looked back at her, "Why?"

"There is blood on the ground, the plague demon ran out."

Everyone has been quietly watching the two of them, and when they heard Fang Yao's words, they quickly lowered their heads to check the ground.

The muddy ground has been trampled full of footprints, and you can't see anything unless you look carefully.

After being reminded by Fang Yao, all the people bent down half-believingly, lowered the torch a lot, and really found a little blood dripping intermittently on the ground.

From the side of the trap hole to the entrance of the hole, there are fewer and fewer.

When we got outside in the dense bushes, there were almost no traces to be found.

"Brother, could it be that the snow monster really ran away..."

The second young master of the Duke's Mansion was a little flustered.

The son's face turned blue, he glanced at Fan Chen and Fang Yao who were standing aside, and said nothing.

Gangzi blurted out: "Second son, second son, this is absolutely impossible! That old, old snow monster has several big holes in its stomach. The little one saw it dead with his own eyes and couldn't die anymore. He wouldn't crawl out by himself run away!"

These words reminded Jiang Wenjie, and he immediately looked carefully along the bloodstain, with a sharp understanding in his eyes.

He walked up to Shizi and said in a calm voice: "Shizi, I have just confirmed that there are no strange footprints on the ground where the blood is, and I suspect that this snow monster did not run by itself, but ..."

Jiang Wenjie paused as he spoke, glanced at Fan Chen and Fang Yao inadvertently, and continued, "They were stolen instead."

Almost instantly, everyone's eyes turned to the two people standing behind the crowd.

The second young master suddenly realized: "Some people even do this kind of thing in order to grab credit!"

Fang Yao looked at a fool.

Fan Chen said indifferently: "Since everyone knows that this trap was dug by Deputy Captain Jiang, what's the use of snatching a dead snow monster? Could it be... what secrets does that snow monster have?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone couldn't help but look at each other, with doubts on their faces.

Indeed, since everyone knows that this snow monster was captured by Deputy Captain Jiang, they are not fools if they steal a dead one and claim it as their own...

Jiang Wenjie's heart trembled, and a little cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

He originally planned to set fire to the snow monster in the pothole after Shizi and others had seen it.

But now that this incident suddenly appeared, coupled with all the previous signs, he suddenly realized...he might be being targeted.

In case someone finds out that the snow monster is not a snow monster at all...

Jiang Wenjie's face turned pale slightly, but he still twitched the corners of his mouth as calmly as possible, and said, "Spirits are such things that very few people have ever seen them. Who knows if there will be anyone who just wants to sneak a look at them?" It's strange."

After everyone thought about it, what they said... seemed to make sense.

"Hmph, who knew that person would steal the snow monster to do something outrageous!" Shizi glanced at Fan Chen and snorted coldly, "In any case, the body of the snow monster must be found."

Jiang Wenjie also quickly said: "The snow monster has not been missing for a long time, and it may be hidden in a temple or other places in the mountain. I will ask everyone to search separately."

After a while, except for a few guards from the Duke's Mansion who stayed to protect their master, all the other soldiers left with Jiang Wenjie.

Fang Yao and Fan Chen also walked out, but they were immediately stopped by Shi Zi, "Stop."

Fan Chen raised his eyebrows slightly.

The prince said coldly: "Lord Fan, it's still too late to regret and admit your mistakes. If you ask everyone to search for something later... don't blame me for reading a book in front of the officials."

"Oh?"

Fan Chen raised his eyebrows indifferently, and said meaningfully, "My lord, my servant said that the monster escaped alive. Instead of worrying about me, you might as well worry about yourself."

Fang Yao at the side clearly saw that the faces of Shizi and the second young master had turned from blue to black, which was very terrifying.

But the instigator winked at her lightly, stepped forward with his long legs, and quickly walked away from them without looking sideways.

Fang Yao followed closely.

Seeing the backs of the two people disappearing into the forest, Shi Zi almost gritted his teeth: "Damn you, you damned slave!"

On the other side, Fang Yao, who had only walked less than five feet away, naturally heard this word for word.

While carefully looking around, she silently scolded the prince of the Duke's Mansion a hundred times in her heart.

Fan Chen glanced lightly at the pedestrian who followed them majestically behind his eyes, and asked in a low voice, "Did you find anything?"

"Hmm... let me take a good look."

Fang Yao said softly.

In the forest, there are more and more black miasmas, which do not go straight into the sky, but float on the snow close to the ground.

This should be that something in the ground is emitting miasma, and it is slowly emerging.

In the ears, there were various, rustling and weird sounds.

She closed her eyes slightly, listening to the voices.

In my mind, the image of countless fluffy legs crawling across the soil, the frequency of the rapid vibration of the thin and soft wings, and the gently arching of the soil...

Fang Yao opened her eyes suddenly, broke a dead wooden stick, and squatted down.

She thought of the picture in the brochure. Apart from the black unknown objects in mid-air, the ground was also densely packed, and the wooden stick in her hand began to poke hard at the trampled snow.

Fan Chen pulled her up and said, "I'll do it."

After all, he replaced the wooden stick with the sword.

The sword was indeed more useful than the wooden stick. After a while, Fan Chen turned over the mud and snow under his feet and dug a small hole.

Shi Zi and others who followed slowly came over on purpose, and saw the two of them squatting on the ground digging a hole, all of them looked puzzled.

"Good dogs don't get in the way."

The second young master's nostrils were turned upside down.

Fan Chen didn't pay attention to them at all, and the two young masters of the Duke's Mansion were about to get annoyed again.

But before they could speak, Fang Yao suddenly stood up, "I see!"

She stared at the miasma emerging from the mud, clenched her small fists, "We may have been surrounded!"
