Chapter 2425 One wave after another cannot be solved (two chapters in one)
The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead came out this time in order to kill the strange beast in front of him and then obtain the scales on his body.
Now that he saw the strange beast escaping, he suddenly became anxious.
So he quickly quickened his pace to catch up with the beast, and kept chasing after the strange beast.
"roar……"
The alien beast thought that if it ran away, the enemy would give up.
Now the pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead was chasing after him, looking like he would never give up, which made him very angry.
He roared several times in succession, trying to scare away the enemies behind him, but it had no effect at all.
"I came all the way here, and if I let you escape, wouldn't I have spent so much time in vain?"
The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead said to himself, and then drew the weapon from his back.
After all, the speed of the alien beast is very fast, and it is not easy to catch up at once.
The two sides now maintain a distance of more than ten meters, and they have to use long-range attacks to erase this distance.
The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead injected spiritual energy into the weapon, and a pale golden light bloomed on the surface of the weapon.
The fleeing beast noticed the violent fluctuations of spiritual energy behind it, and knew that the enemy was preparing to launch a long-range attack.
So he worked harder to escape further away, and at the same time he was alert and ready to dodge at any time.
"call out."
The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead swung his weapon, and the long sword injected with psychic energy immediately shot out a golden sword energy.
The sword energy was sharp and it flew towards the escaping beast at an extremely fast speed.
"roar……"
Sensing the approaching danger, the alien beast immediately leaned to the left and leapt forward with force, narrowly avoiding the incoming sword energy.
"boom."
The golden sword energy hit the grass in the distance and exploded immediately.
A large piece of grass was blown to pieces, and a lot of soil was blown up.
Seeing how powerful the enemy's attack was, the alien beast was so frightened that he trembled all over.
At this time, there were several more piercing sounds behind him. When the pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead saw that the blow missed, he immediately swung his weapon and fired out sword energy.
"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh..."
The sword energy was flowing horizontally, forming a large net at this moment, covering a large area.
The pig-headed captain, who had a brown birthmark on his forehead, used most of his strength to kill the alien beast.
"roar……"
Since this attack covers a wide range, it is unrealistic to completely avoid the attack.
The alien beast roared, then stopped, and then used its awakened power.
The ground turned and an earth wall rose from the ground.
The sword energy hit the earth wall, instantly shattering it, and then continued to charge towards the alien beast.
At this time, the alien beast is ready for defense, and the scales on its body are attached with spiritual energy.
"Boom..."
After a series of explosions, the ground became pitted and covered by flying smoke, making it difficult to see what was going on.
When all the dust settled, the ferocious beast fell to the ground.
The pig-headed captain, who had a brown birthmark on his forehead, saw the alien beast on the verge of death, with a happy smile on his face.
This wave of attacking alien beasts was careless, thinking that I could withstand it, but ended up like this.
"roar……"
The alien beast looked at the approaching enemy angrily and let out a ferocious cry.
The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead ignored the cry of the alien beast, stepped forward and swung his weapon, killing the alien beast directly.
From the beginning to the end of the battle, the battle time was not short, but the process was quite smooth.
The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead began to collect the scales of the alien beasts. Because the attack just now was so fierce, many of the scales on the alien beasts were broken. It would take a lot of time to collect the complete scales.
The sun moves in the sky, and clouds drifting in the distance cover the sun.
The shadow fell on the ground, making the pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead who was collecting scales feel a little cool.
After spending more than an hour, the pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead collected a bag of scales, and now the mission was completed.
He looked up at the sky and his eyes fell on the clouds covering the sun.
"While there are clouds covering the sun now, we can go a long way and then rest."
The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead said to himself, and then he started to return, his feet moving faster and faster, and he left this spacious grassland after a while.
…………
When the time came to noon, the pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead saw Zecheng.
At this time, he was already a little hungry, but he was not in a hurry. It would not be too late to find a canteen for lunch after entering the city.
The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead quickly walked towards the city. When he approached the city gate, he found that there were many soldiers by the lake.
Seeing this scene, I was very confused.
When I went out in the morning, there were many dead fish in the lake, so the soldiers in the city came out to deal with the dead fish.
It stands to reason that after so much time, those dead fish have been dealt with. Why are there so many soldiers standing by the lake when we come back now?
The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead was full of doubts. When he came to the city gate and lined up to enter the city, he finally knew what those videos were about.
Still dealing with dead fish.
The dead fish have been dealt with in the morning, and now there are so many dead fish, which is really puzzling.
Because there were relatively few people entering and leaving the city today, the pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead spent very little time entering the city.
After entering the city, he did not turn in the task immediately. Instead, he went to a nearby restaurant to have lunch.
"What would you like to eat, sir?" the waiter greeted warmly.
"What delicious food do you have in your store? Give it to me." The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead said with a smile.
"Okay, please wait a moment." The waiter agreed with a smile on his face.
The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead waited for the waiter to leave, then picked up the teacup on the table and poured a glass of water.
Where he is now is on the second floor of the restaurant, near the window.
Looking out the window, you can see the city gate in the distance.
The streets were full of people and traffic, and sometimes you could see a group of soldiers running past toward the city gate.
After a while.
The waiter brought all the delicious dishes in the store to the table, filling the entire table.
"Sir, if you need anything else, please call me at any time."
The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead nodded, and when the waiter was about to leave, he called out to him.
"Wait a moment."
The waiter thought the customer needed something and waited patiently.
"Do you know the situation outside the city?" asked the pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead.
The waiter was stunned for a moment when he heard this, then he thought about it and soon knew what the customer was asking about.
"Sir, are you talking about the soldiers fishing outside the city?"
The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead nodded, "Yes, I just came in from outside the city and saw many soldiers standing by the lake fishing for fish."
The waiter immediately explained what he had learned. The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead did not ask any other questions after listening.
After the waiter left, the only person left on the scene was the pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead.
He frowned and murmured to himself, "It turns out that the dead fish in the lake surfaced one after another, so the soldiers stayed there to fish for the dead fish."
Logically speaking, there were already a lot of dead fish in the wave in the morning, and it should have been over. Unexpectedly, one wave after another followed, and it was impossible to catch them all.
The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead encountered this kind of thing for the first time, and he didn't know what caused it.
However, this abnormal situation is obviously very unusual. If the cause is not found out, something else might happen in the lake later.
Regarding this kind of headache, there is no need for the pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead to think too much. Anyway, the one who should have the headache is the official who handles this matter.
After the pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead understood what had happened, he thought for a few minutes, put the problem aside for the time being, and then wolfed down a table of delicious food.
…………
The two investigators went out to collect intelligence in the morning and met back at the inn at noon.
Now they have had lunch and are sitting at the table drinking tea leisurely.
The efficiency of separate operations has been greatly improved, and now they have collected a lot of intelligence.
The two investigators also knew about what happened outside the city.
They all felt that the waves of dead fish should be caused by strange animals in the lake.
As for why those strange beasts did such a thing, it is not possible to judge from the only current clues.
According to the current progress of the two investigators collecting intelligence, they may complete the task sooner than expected and then leave.
Although the living standard in Zecheng is good, there is still a big gap compared with the home base.
If the intelligence gathering mission could be completed as soon as possible, the two investigators would still like to complete it as soon as possible and then return to the base camp.
They rested for an hour or two, and then continued to leave the inn to collect intelligence.
…………
Since we have entered the rainy season, it rains very frequently.
No, the pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead walked out of the restaurant after lunch, and the weather outside changed dramatically.
The sky was originally clear, but now there are many dark clouds, and judging from this situation, the dark clouds should soon cover the entire sky.
"Oh, the rainy season is really troublesome."
"Looking at this change in weather, it should start raining heavily again in the afternoon."
"I can't go out of the city to do the mission now."
The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead looked at the changing weather and sighed inwardly.
Then he thought for a few minutes and decided to take over the mission first, and then wait for the weather to improve and then go out to the city to do the mission if he had time.
A carriage was called at the roadside. The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead got into the carriage and left the place where he was eating.
When he arrived at the place where he received the mission, the pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead submitted the completed mission first, and then started looking for other missions after receiving the money.
There were far fewer people present to take the mission. It seemed that they thought it was going to rain, so they didn’t plan to come to take the mission for the time being.
"call……"
The wind on the street got stronger and stronger, and some big trees were shaken violently by the wind, and many leaves fell off.
The merchants who set up stalls on the roadside couldn't stand it anymore and began to pack up and go home.
The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead felt that he had to speed up his task selection and return to the inn before the heavy rain started.
About ten minutes passed, and there were more and more dark clouds in the sky.
Some of the lively places on the road have become deserted as people have left.
There used to be a lot of customers in the shops along the street, but now they have all left because it is going to rain.
The clerks and shopkeepers of the shop stood at the door looking at the changing weather, their expressions were not good-looking.
After all, the weather has turned bad now, affecting business, which is definitely not a good thing for those of them who are open to do business.
"Boom."
Thunder and lightning flashed in the clouds, and a terrible thunder roared overhead.
Many people were startled by the sudden thunder, and invariably raised their heads and looked up at the sky.
"It's going to rain."
"Don't stay here anymore, go home quickly."
The few people left on the road began to return home, and the pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead came out of the place where he received the mission.
He looked at the gloomy sky and muttered to himself.
"The new mission has been received. We need to find a carriage to return to the inn."
As soon as he finished speaking, a carriage appeared in the distance and stopped on the roadside not far away.
The pig-headed man captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead saw it. He immediately ran over and got into the car.
"Da, da, da..."
The crisp sound of horse hooves sounded in the street, and many carriages were driving quickly.
As several thunder and lightning flashed, the dark clouds began to rain.
Rain fell on the trees, and the branches and leaves rustled with the raindrops.
The raindrops falling from the sky formed a line and were blown by the strong wind towards the houses on the roadside.
There were many people standing in front of the windows looking at the rain outside, but now they saw that the wind was blowing so hard that the rain was blown into the room, so they had to close the windows.
The carriage stopped in front of the inn. After paying the money, the pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead got out of the car and ran quickly to the inn.
When I entered the inn, a small part of my clothes was soaked by the rain.
The waiter at the inn saw the pig-headed captain returning with a brown birthmark on his forehead and asked if he wanted to prepare bath water.
"No need to prepare it now, you can prepare bath water for me in the evening."
The pig-headed captain, who had a brown birthmark on his forehead, planned to go back to his room to take a nap and then take a shower after waking up.
The waiter nodded when he heard this and wrote down the matter.
