After the Fairy Disappeared

  「In the past few days, a lot of monsters and people have been caught in the city, right?」

"There are many demented and disorderly people, and there are also many people who take advantage of the chaos to rob. There are also people who take the opportunity to kill people." Wu Jinsong asked the waiter for a bowl of tea. Yes. Can you believe it? There was a boy who was eaten by his family's pigs. When the officials arrived, he was half alive."

  「By the way, where are you going to meet Emperor Ooze?」

   "Go out of the city to the northeast, away from the countryside." He Lingchuan clasped his fists at him, "Speaking of which, I would also like to thank Taifu for his advice." If Taifu Sha hadn't informed in advance, he would never have gained so much this time.

  Wu Jinsong smiled and said: "I will convey it. By the way, have you been to Sanxin Yuan? There are three connected lakes in the center."

  Three Hearts? He Lingchuan's heart skipped a beat, the place where he received the emperor's ointment was Sanxinyuan!

   "I ran more than a hundred miles to the northeast, and I am not sure where I am. I only know that it is empty, but there is indeed a big lake." He Lingchuan asked seriously, "What happened?"

"The Shanze of Sanxinyuan is dead." Wu Jinsong said, "Teacher received the news that the turmoil of the monsters in Sanxinyuan did not stop after the end of the emperor's liquid, but expanded. Not only foreign missions were injured, Even nearby villages and towns were affected, with more than 200 casualties, and farmland was trampled down."

"When all these troubles happened, Fufeng City sent people to investigate. The first information came, saying that the local Shanze was dead. The monsters and herds of beasts were not restrained, and they were aroused by the emperor's juice, so that's why Misfortune everywhere."

   "Shanze is dead?" He Lingchuan was slightly startled. It seems that the competition on the night of the eruption of Diliuzhi was extremely fierce, and even Shanze was killed.

   Could it be that one of the monsters who died on the edge of Sanxin Lake was the local Shanze?

"The strange thing is that it died on the second night of the eruption of the emperor's fluid." Wu Jinsong took a sip of tea, "Even the Tai Tuo found it incredible that the mountains of Sanxinyuan could be killed by people or monsters." . "

   "What's so special about it?"

   "There are so many clones." Wu Jinsong said, "The mountains of Sanxinyuan are very special. They are not common tigers, wolves, lions and tree demons, but a kind of man-eating fungus!"

  He Lingchuan paused when he raised his glass: "Mushrooms? You mean fungi, mushrooms?"

   Wouldn’t it be such a coincidence?

"It's about the same. I haven't seen it personally. I only know that it has many clones, all over the forest. It is not easy to kill it. The official also gave it the position of Shanze because of its talent. It is said that in the Three Hearts Yuan, no matter how fierce the monster is, it dare not provoke it, lest one day it will be retaliated against afterwards."

  「Then how can we confirm that it is dead?」

"I heard that dozens of clones of the man-eating fungus exploded that night. Is this also called dead bones?" Wu Jinsong said seriously, "The existence that can blow it up in one fell swoop is only a hundred miles away from Fufeng City." Here, we don’t know its origin, and the official office is a little uneasy.”

Wu Jinsong sighed: "This time the emperor's blood happened before my king's birthday. It is a good thing and a trouble. After the death of Sanxinyuan Shanze, the monsters in this place came to Fufeng City to congratulate. Four of the more than a dozen missions were injured during those two nights. The Taifu has been dealing with these matters in a state of desperation these days."

  "The existence of unknown origin" smiled and said: "It is true that the fight is fierce, and all kinds of monsters and ghosts have emerged. But, why is the mission also affected?"

   "What's wrong with the mission, there are also monsters in the mission." Wu Jinsong shrugged, "The resistance of the monsters to the emperor's liquid is worse than that of us humans."

  He Lingchuan shook his head: "It seems that it is not easy for me to come back alive."

   "If you survive a catastrophe, you will be blessed." Wu Jinsong stood up, "I just came to see if you came back. I still have something to do. I will come to drink with you tomorrow night."

  「Thank you for your concern.」

  Wu Jinsong left, He Lingchuan raised his hand and asked for a plate of sauced venison.

   Didn't it say that the sauced venison here is very famous, try it.

   So the monster who attacked him in the cave a few days ago was Shanze from Sanxinyuan?

  Dignified Shanze, do not talk about martial arts.

  However, He Lingchuan knew very well that Shanze himself was also a monster.

   Man-eating fungus received the canonization of Fufeng City, and it was only to restrain the mountain monsters and beasts. On the big day when Emperor Ooze comes, it must first think of itself.

   This also explains why it was able to find He Lingchuan and attack with precision.

  After becoming Shanze, it can understand many things that happened on the site. Perhaps it noticed that He Lingchuan had gained a lot on the Three Hearts Lake and couldn't bear the feeling of being excited, so it made a move.

  Who says a creep has to be moral?

  The spies sent out by Fufeng City thought that some powerful person would make a move, so they knocked out dozens of clones of Shanze together.

  Actually, that’s just because it didn’t withstand the power of Emperor Ooze.

   Shanze's dozens of clones failed to survive. Thinking of this, He Lingchuan was afraid for a while.

  He has come back to it a little now. I am afraid that the piece of Emperor Ointment he took to refine it was too big and too pure, which almost killed him.

  Emperor liquid is so rare nowadays, when He Lianchen gave him a prescription, he definitely did not expect that he would get such a top-quality piece.

  If Shanze hadn’t been a good man to the end, he would have been extremely happy and sad.

  However, although most of the power of Emperor Ointment is distributed to the man-eating fungus, it itself has slow-release characteristics. In the next few months, the power of heaven, earth and temperature will still seep and release little by little, fueling He Lingchuan's practice.

  After this lesson, he no longer dared to be greedy.

   Also, why are those people looking for him?

   He believed half of Fushan's words, and now four or five days have passed since the eruption of Diliuye. Whoever gets this kind of heaven and earth spirit will refine and eat it as soon as possible, and it is meaningless for others to pursue it.

   There are few in the world that can refine Diliu jelly into adjuvant medicines for long-term use like Baishan Pills. Helian Chen has confirmed this.

  Then, this group of people pursued him so hard, they didn't come here for the emperor.

  What do you want to do?

  He Lingchuan left the inn, and when he turned his head, he saw a crow parked on the opposite roof.

   This thing hasn't given up yet.

   There was a hostility in his heart:

  If a tiger does not show its power, it will be regarded as a sick cat.

  He Lingchuan thought about it, and then went to the market.

  The crow is still flying in the sky, following all the way.

  But there are many low corridors in the market, and its view is blocked by buildings. He Lingchuan only knows that he entered a low room. As for what he is doing inside, he does not know.

  It didn't dare to take a closer look.

  It was not the only human that was active in Sanxinyuan that night, and the robber who snatched the emperor's ointment was still wearing a mask, but the more the crow looked at his back, the more familiar it became, and he always felt that he was following the right person.

   Keep an eye on this guy!

   Not long after, He Lingchuan came out with a basket on his shoulders. The basket was covered with a cloth so that the crow could not see what was inside.

   Then He Lingchuan returned to the inn where he was staying, closed the doors and windows, and never showed up again.

   The crow was afraid that he would sneak away, so he descended to the roof of the inn to observe whether there were suspicious figures walking out of the front door and the backyard at the same time.

  The crow’s stalking lasted for two hours until it got dark.

  The door of He Lingchuan's room was closed all the time, as if he had fallen asleep inside.

  The crow counted the hours silently in his heart, the darker the night, the more those people would have to do it.

  A harsh "squeak" suddenly came from the edge of the patio, which startled the crow.

   It turned out that two guests came out from the door, their shoulders on their backs, and they walked and laughed loudly.

  The crow shook its feathers in dissatisfaction.

  Its attention was drawn by this little accident, and the sound of pushing the door covered up a strange sound behind it.

  A black shadow had been lying in wait for a long time, and when it was distracted, it rushed out and grabbed its wings.

  The crow started up, and the black figure leaped forward, biting the back of its neck with precision!

  Puff la la, the crow flapped its wings desperately, trying to break free.

   As a result, two shadows rushed out from behind the roof, yes

   They attack in groups, one bites the leg, the other bites the wing, in short, it is pressed against the tile.

  Crow realized now that it was the three-headed cat who attacked him unexpectedly!

  One big and two small, black body and white claws, seem to be carved out of the same mold.

  The big cat is a monster, its size is almost as big as that of a pastoral dog, and it is overwhelming against this crow.

  The crow yelled anxiously: "Shut up, let's go, I'll pay double what that person pays!"

  However, the cat demon was very virtuous, so he didn't care at all, and tore off the crow's trachea in two and a half strokes.

   Birding, they are professionals.

  The two kittens were greedy for its body, but the big cat didn't allow them to eat it. It jumped onto He Lingchuan's window sill with its prey in its mouth, stretched out its paws and scratched it twice.

   Hearing this signal, the window opened immediately.

  Seeing the crow's corpse, He Lingchuan couldn't help but give the cat demon a thumbs up: "Cow!"

  It solved the eyes on the roof for him so easily.

  The cat puts its prey on the windowsill and meows.

  The task is completed, what about the reward?

  The other two kittens followed immediately, expressing that they wanted equal pay for equal work.

  He Lingchuan immediately took out a large bag of small dried fish from the house, and first gave the cat demon a look: "All of them are dried with finger-long brook fish from the east of the city, without adding salt."

   In addition, a gold ingot was placed beside the dried fish.

   Not bad, this employer is quite generous. The cat demon nodded in satisfaction, He Lingchuan hung the burden around its neck, and gave them the crow's corpse.

  The three black cats jumped onto the roof one by one and disappeared into the night.

  But He Lingchuan knew that they hadn't left yet, and there was more than that in the employment agreement. He closed the doors and windows again, walked around the corridor to the opposite room, opened the door and entered.

   This room was also rented out by him, but in the name of the caravan buddy. Looking out from this side, it happens to be able to monitor the old house.

  He poked a small hole in the window paper, moved a chair and sat in front of the window, holding the knife in his hand.

  The eyeball spider has heard that he may have the next wave of guests tonight.

  The night is getting darker, the moon is slanting and people are still.

   Only the grasshoppers in the haystack downstairs were calling.

   It will be dawn in half an hour.

   This is the time when everyone sleeps the most.

  He Lingchuan moved his ears, and suddenly heard two short crows from outside the inn.
