Starting boy Ma Kongqun

Chapter 244 Snake Catching

Ma Yao followed Zhao Jia out in a hurry, but did not go to the warehouse to check the goods as he had said before. Instead, he walked through the streets and alleys for a few circles and came to a courtyard that looked ordinary from the outside. There was a gentle knock on the door.

The door opened a gap inward, and the two of them entered sideways, without the need for a gatekeeper to guide them, and went straight to a hall in the front yard.

Outside the hall, Qian Yi, Sun Bing, and Li Ding stood solemnly. Zhao Jia stood with them, and only Ma Yao entered the hall.

In the hall, an old man with a thin face and figure, gray beard and hair, sat at the head of the table.

Ma Yao stepped forward and bowed to the old man: "My subordinate, Ma Yao, has met Young Inspector Chu."

The old man waved his hand, smiled very kindly and said: "Zhiyuan, there is no need to be polite, sit down and talk."

Ma Yao sat down beside him as he was told.

The old man said with some apology: "Normally, Zhiyuan has just returned home, so I shouldn't assign tasks to you. But in recent years, there have been more and more weird things in the world, and the manpower of our 'Huntian Supervisory Authority' has always been tight. At this time, It is becoming more and more stretched, especially the major local branches, so that sometimes they have to borrow staff from branches in neighboring provinces, just like the last time Zhiyuan solved the "animal making" case in Suzhou. Now there are fourteen people in the Jiangsu and Zhejiang branches Among the judges, only Zhiyuan is temporarily free, so I can only ask you to take action."

Ma Yao said sternly: "Since my subordinates chose to join the 'Huntian Supervisory Authority' in the first place, it was to protect the peace of this place and protect our human race from evil demons. Now that demons are in danger, it is my duty to do so!"

The old man nodded in approval, and then went straight to the point: "A few days ago, a giant green-scaled snake that became popular broke into the prison in front of Qiantang and took away three death row prisoners. This matter has something to do with Zhiyuan..."

Even if these twenty Huntian Guards are only at the ninth level of martial arts, with the addition of himself, who is at the peak of the seventh level of martial arts, and Zhao Jia, four other direct subordinates of the eighth level of martial arts, they can kill one of them even if they use their lives to pile up. stage of alien beasts.

"That's no problem." The old man said calmly, "In addition to your four capable men, I can also assign twenty Huntian Guards to you. In addition, I will give you four "Sky Snares" and two "Juelong Crossbows" '."

Ma Yao did not respond immediately. After thinking carefully for a moment, he said: "What the young prisoner said is true. It's just that to hunt such a huge monster, a considerable number of manpower and heavy equipment are needed. I wonder if our branch can provide it."

The former is made of twisted and woven silk spun by the demonized giant spider and alloy silk threads. It can withstand the tearing force of great force. It is installed in a cylinder with a built-in mechanical spring. As long as the lever is turned, it can be sprayed out and captured. Target within ten feet.

Although the Huntian Guards are junior members of the "Huntian Inspectorate", they have strict standards for martial arts.

Hearing that his boss was willing to spend such a large amount of money, the solemn look on Ma Yao's face immediately relaxed a lot.

He described the cause and effect in detail, and finally said: "Although the giant snake is currently only targeting enemies and not hurting innocent people, Zhiyuan should know that once these demonizing beasts eat humans, they will feel the effects of human flesh, blood and soul. , it will be difficult to resist the temptation to quickly improve your cultivation, so you must take precautions before they happen."

What's more, this time there are two big killer weapons: "Tianluo Net" and "Juelong Crossbow".

The latter uses iron wood as the handle, soft steel as the bow, and the sinews of monsters as the strings. It shoots pure steel giant arrows shaped like five-foot short spears and engraved with evil-breaking and exorcism charms. It is specially used to deal with huge, rough-skinned people. Thick monster.

He handed over his hand to the old man and said, "If nothing unexpected happens, I am confident that I can kill that giant snake!"

The old man added: "The rules of our Inspection Institute have always been that the trophies belong to the individual. If Zhiyuan can hunt and kill the giant snake, I will ask the old guy at the headquarters for a favor and let him use the giant snake as the material to refine three body tempering spirits. Dan, help you break through your current realm and advance to the sixth level of martial arts." Ma Yao was overjoyed. He had just told his son that he needed to wait for the opportunity to break through the realm, but he didn't expect that the opportunity would come soon.

In today's world, there are far more warriors than monks, and there are even fewer monks who are proficient in alchemy. Even within a huge organization like the "Huntian Supervisory Academy", there are only five monks who are proficient in alchemy. In fact, Ma Yao's position as a judge was only above that of the Huntian Guards. He was transferred from the army and had limited connections in the Supervisory Yuan. He was far from being able to reach those alchemists with aloof status who stayed in Shuntian Mansion in the capital all year round. division.

Now Chu Liang, the young prisoner in charge of the Jiangsu and Zhejiang branches, is willing to consume his favor, even if Ma Yao has to pay most of the materials on the giant snake as reward.

He hurriedly stood up and solemnly bowed his thanks and said: "I will definitely live up to the kindness of the young supervisor."

Then Ma Yao first sent Zhao Jia home to deliver a letter, saying that he would deal with the problematic goods overnight and would not go home tonight. He personally took Qian Yi, Sun Bing, and Li Ding to get the "Dragnet" and "Dragon Snare" from the arsenal. "Juelong Crossbow", and then gathered the twenty Huntian Guards together to carefully plan and arrange this operation.

In his early years in the army, he was the captain who was best at leading the elite vanguard battalion in combat. In these years, he served as the judge of the "Huntian Supervisory Council" and also led people to ambush and raid many times, or besieged and attacked various demons, ghosts and beasts. At this moment, I am commanding calmly and calmly.

In the dead of night, a group of twenty-five people put on the standard black uniforms and soft body armor of the "Huntian Supervisory Authority", packed their personal weapons, "Tianluo Net" and "Juelong Crossbow", and headed out to the shore of the West Lake. .

When there was a night guard on the road checking, Ma Yao only took out a token symbolizing his identity and waved it before getting through.

Arriving at a remote place on the edge of the West Lake - in the past few days after the incident, spies from the Overwatch Council have discovered that the giant green-scaled snake was hiding in the water nearby and often came out of the water around midnight. Look into the sky and swallow the moonlight.

Ma Yao didn't say anything, and only waved his hands to the left and right. Everyone behind him found a hiding place to hide in accordance with the prior arrangement. He himself also hid behind a huge rock facing the lake.

At the zenith of the moon, a very long shadow appears under the clear water of the lake, meandering and swimming close to the shore.

The water splashed over, and a huge snake head stretched out from the water.

The scarlet forked snake letter quickly swallowed several times to capture the various smells that diffused in the air.

Fortunately, Ma Yao was experienced enough to prevent this and sprayed everyone with smell-masking drugs in advance.

After confirming that there was no danger around, the green-scaled giant snake named "Er Qing" slowly swam ashore, coiled up in a snake formation on the grass on the shore, raised its head towards the bright night moon, and followed The instinct imprinted in the bloodline exhales and exhales, exhaling and exhaling the mysterious energy contained in the cold moonlight, prompting oneself to transform towards a higher level of life bit by bit.

Ma Yao peeked behind the boulder and saw that the giant snake seemed to be immersed in a state of cultivation. He suddenly shouted loudly: "Do it!"

Following this shout, four Huntian guards holding "Tianluo Net" sprang out from their hiding places on both sides at the same time. The cylinders in their hands pointed at the giant snake, and they pulled the triggers almost indiscriminately.

As the machine spring sounded, four fist-sized spheres flew out from the mouth of the tube, and opened in the air to form a huge net with a diameter of seven or eight feet on all sides, with black silk threads shining with a cold metallic luster, overlapping each other and falling from four directions. On Erqing's body, which was coiled into a snake formation, he automatically tightened his body behind him and immediately wrapped it into a meat ball.
