In Jiujiang County, the waves are rolling in the rough river.
Ships were sailing around, but they did not dare to get too close to the river. They had seen big waves many times, but this was the first time they had seen a whirlpool forming in the center of the river that went against common sense.
In the depths of the whirlpool, blood spurted out from time to time, and a huge shadow flashed from time to time.
Soon after, a huge shadow emerged from the bottom of the river.
It was a snake demon that was over three feet tall. There was a big hole at seven inches, and the snake's head was beaten to pieces.
Many people on board a passing merchant ship exclaimed. When the supervisor saw the huge snake carcass lying in the middle of the river, he was first shocked, then ecstatic. He looked around and saw no one and no boats, and immediately ordered the fishery.
"As expected, I have become rich recently..."
The supervisor's face was filled with joy.
"Director, except for the scales and teeth, this snake demon is completely empty of essence and blood, just like the previous rumors on the river."
"No matter, clear out some goods and release this snake demon. The scales, flesh and teeth alone are enough. If there is menstrual blood, I wouldn't dare to fish it out."
The supervisor's face was filled with joy, and the flesh on his face was beating with excitement.
Recently, there is a legend among the merchant ships traveling to and from Jiujiang. There is a legend about some terrible monster emerging from the bottom of the river. There is a corpse of a terrible monster emerging from the bottom of the river in the canteen. All the essence and blood have been sucked out, leaving only scales, armor, and flesh.
want.
And if you are lucky enough to pick up such a monster, you can make a lot of money.
After all, Jiujiang County is the largest trading port, but the ships that come and go usually transport rare goods from the south to the north, and rare goods from the north to the south.
The profit value is extremely high, but the risk in the process is still quite high. Obtaining the corpse of a monster can be easily sold. This is an extremely popular commodity in both the south and the north.
"I don't know what kind of monster is coming from the bottom of the river..."
The sailors in charge of the salvage were worried, fearing that there were terrible monsters under the water that would devour them in the future, but the supervisor didn't care at all.
Although there are many rumors at present, this inexplicable monster seems to only kill monsters and does not seem to do much harm to humans so far.
Even if there is damage, the merchant ship still has top martial arts figures. If such a powerful monster can be hunted down, it will be of great benefit.
Jiujiang County is on a small island in the middle of the river not far from the huge plaque.
There is an urgent discussion going on at this moment.
"What number is this?"
"It's the eighth one, and it's a powerful demon that has reached the level of true essence. We are being targeted."
"Will it be an official figure? Is it Jinyiwei or Liumenmen?"
"It shouldn't be them. If it was really them who took the monster's corpse, they would definitely be rewarded for their merits. But currently, there is only one bronze medal catcher who took the corpse of a monster to receive the reward. The origin of the corpse
I investigated and found that he bought it from a caravan..."
"Is that something under the water?"
"Is it true that there is a water-walking zombie living under the water like the ancient legend of Daxia?"
Many people who came to the Land of the Rising Sun were very confused.
After arriving in Jiujiang County, they lay dormant for more than ten years and cultivated dozens of demons in the fields. Each one was raised with great effort and effort.
Now eight people have died for no reason. To them, it is like cutting flesh on their chests.
They claim to be well-informed, but they still haven't found anything.
Every demon was targeted to death when it was dispatched to the place where merchant ships circulated, and it died so quickly that there was no time for support.
And because there were too many merchant ships in the area where the merchant ships were located, they did not dare to send large-scale demons to support them, for fear of causing chaos and attracting the attention of Liumenmen and Jinyiwei.
When they lost three demons before, they thought it was just an accident until the eighth demon died in a row.
No matter how slow their reaction was, they understood that someone must be targeting them secretly, perhaps some kind of strange monster.
"It should be some kind of strange monster. If it is a human, the monster's spiritual armor, flesh and blood, and essence and blood are extremely important and will not be given up."
"If it were official, the other party's actions would not be so chaotic and without a plan, and they would not give up on such a great achievement."
On the small island in the center of the river, the faces of the people who came here for discussion all looked bad.
"Don't you have any clues? Are we being treated like monkeys?"
"Shikigami have been sent to investigate, but the opponent's reaction is very sensitive and can be detected from a very distance, and it will also make shikigami very uneasy."
"So, is it really possible that it is some kind of strange evil existence?"
Doihara opened his mouth for the first time, frowning, as the person in charge of intelligence for this entire area.
In the past, good news came frequently. They integrated into the building little by little without attracting the attention of others. Moreover, the power they cultivated secretly continued to grow. Good news came from all over Jiangnan.
A top-notch aristocratic family was even established along the southeastern coast. I thought that after such a whale encroaching on the Land of the Rising Sun, we would be able to truly advance westward in the near future.
I never thought that things started to go wrong from a while ago.
In the most hidden base in Jianyi, the demons raised in the complex maze were all wiped out, and even the entire relevant intelligence network in Jianyi was crushed.
Originally, there were two important female spies who survived. However, not long after the intelligence came out, the two intelligence officers who were planning to change their identities and develop in other areas were killed by Jinyiwei personnel in the underground river.
.
According to the information that came later, it was Xue Cheng, the commander-in-chief of Jinyiwei, who did it.
"Is it him?"
Xue Cheng was promoted continuously because of his merits. After their interference, he was about to take up a post in Jiujiang County.
Moreover, they also added fuel to the flames and made a little effort to make him a member of the Jinyiwei Hundred Household. They wanted to secretly get rid of this Jinyiwei Tianjiao, so that the empire would rule this land more smoothly in the future.
As a result, before Xue Cheng arrived, they had already begun to be hit one after another.
"Is it Xue Cheng who is causing trouble in secret?"
Thinking of the information Jianyi had submitted before, it was obvious that all this had nothing to do with Jin Yiwei, but Dofei Yuan Er couldn't help but think of Xue Cheng.
Regarding the information about Xue Cheng, there was not much follow-up initially. The presence or absence of a lot of the information on his desk did not seem to matter much.
Xue Cheng, the underappreciated legitimate son of the Xue family, has a close relationship with the Han family. The status of both the Xue and Han families in Longxing Mansion is not bad.
But Xue Cheng didn't receive much attention before. Even from the Han family, only his three uncles had a good impression of him.
Otherwise, he would not have been assigned to Jianyi, and he spent more than three years in Jianyi basically practicing martial arts and doing various intelligence statistics very seriously. But from Doi Haraji's point of view, he actually did
generally.
Such a person became famous three years later and destroyed the entire Jianyi.
Even Doi Yuan Er was a little suspicious, had Jiujiang County been exposed?
Thinking about it, he shook his head again.
"I should be overthinking it. If it is true, it is Jinyiwei who made such a big contribution. It is impossible for them to deny it. Moreover, such a thunderous attack is not like Xue Cheng's style. If he really knows the situation in Jiujiang County, he should not
Do this.”
In his mind, Xue Cheng should be cunning and calculating, and he would act after making a decision. He would stop moving and move like thunder. He would not do such a reckless thing to arouse the enemy.
"Who is that? Is there really someone who transformed into a zombie in the water?"
Doi was originally filled with doubts.
…
In the big river in Jiujiang County, Zhang Mingtu put a rune on his body, and his whole body flowed as fast as water.
The Dragon and Tiger Waidan attached to his chest was bright red, which was the strong blood of monster essence.
