279. the 279th chapter night shift to catch the thief
After realizing that the breeding farm had been robbed, Granny Madan did not panic.
She is the wife of an imperial soldier. Although she has been hiding in Mazaro Mountain for a long time, the desolate mountains and the long-term breeding of strange and powerful snowflake cattle made her know that this cattle thief is not an easy person.
Granny Madan walked outside the breeding farm and looked at the mysterious formation left by her husband.
After a night of operation, the high-level defensive formation was operating well without any signs of malfunction.
It seems that the cattle thieves did not break in from outside, could it be said?
Granny Madan was confused and looked at every corner of the farm. From beginning to end, Granny Madan did not doubt Yue Jinghua."
From the front to the rear of the breeding farm, Granny Madan was about to wake up Yue Jinghua and tell her what had happened.
In the corner of the farm ahead, lies a bloody cow bone.
"Ah!" Granny Madan was startled and screamed.
In the wooden house, Yue Jinghua, who had been in trance all night, had just exhaled the turbid air in his chest when he heard the screams coming from the rear of the farm.
Granny Madan!
Yue Jinghua immediately burst out of the door, like a whirlwind, sensing the direction from which the sound came.
In the darkest corner of the farm, Granny Madan trembled and collapsed on the ground.
It was an adult snowflake cow. Its fur was beautiful black and white, its big eyes were filled with tears, and its long eyelashes were shaking miserably in the morning breeze.
Yue Jinghua still remembers this cow. It was Madan's mother-in-law's favorite cow. Its name was Maggie. It had a very gentle temperament and had just given birth to a calf half a month before she came.
Different from the cow's peaceful face, the cow's body has completely disappeared. Its meat and internal organs are all gone, leaving only a pair of cow bones and a cow head.
Such a horrific way of death made Granny Madan, who single-handedly raised the cow Maggie, feel like she was struck by lightning.
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu Damn cattle thief, why did he kill Maggie like this," Granny Madan cried while hugging Yue Jinghua.
Old Kuru had only been gone for a day when this happened.
Yue Jinghua comforted Madan's mother-in-law, staring at the corpse of a cow that died tragically, with a vague premonition of uneasiness in her heart.
That night, Yue Jinghua carefully checked the mysterious formation around the breeding farm. In order to confirm that the formation was foolproof, she also specially summoned several giant-winged mosquitoes. After confirming that not even a single mosquito could fly out, she then
Every corner of the farm was searched.
After repeatedly confirming that there was nothing unusual in the breeding farm, she returned to her wooden house with a solemn expression.
That night, Granny Madan and Yue Jinghua both slept restlessly. At dawn, both of them walked into the first cowshed with red eyes.
After counting the number of cows in the cowshed, the two looked calmer.
But when they entered the second bullpen, a strange scene happened again.
Another cow disappeared.
Just where Maggie's body was found yesterday, cow bones were found again.
The same way of death, the head is still intact, only a skeleton is left.
In the next few days, no matter how vigilant Yue Jinghua and Granny Madan were, and even stayed outside the cowshed all night, they could not find any clues about the cattle thieves.
Due to lack of sleep and fear, Granny Madan's spirit was obviously much worse than before, and fine lines appeared on her forehead.
This made Yue Jinghua blame herself very much. If she continued like this, Granny Madan would fall ill before Lao Kulu came back.
This situation must not continue.
She thought over and over about the situation at the breeding farm these past few days. Except for the mysterious disappearance of a cow every day, everything was normal.
What puzzled her the most was that she had stayed outside the cowshed all night last night. She was sure that no one broke into the cowshed.
Or is it that the cattle thief has been lurking in the cowshed?
But on second thought, Yue Jinghua rejected this idea.
She has gotten along with the strangely powerful Snowflake Ox. This mysterious beast is definitely not tame in temperament. They are very gregarious. Once a stranger approaches, they will roar in anger at least, and attack in groups at worst.
In this case, imagine how the cattle thieves secretly transported a huge snowflake cow?
It seems that there is only one last option left.
That night, Grandma Madan worriedly suggested to Yue Jinghua whether she should go to the Five Saints Town to hire a few more mercenaries or whether members of the "Second Generation of Soldiers" mercenary team should come together to guard the Mazzaro Farm.
This proposal was rejected by Yue Jinghua, who assured Granny Madan that she would find a way to catch the evil cattle thief tonight.
Madan's mother-in-law reluctantly agreed to Yue Jinghua's request. While Madan's mother-in-law was clearing away the tableware, Yue Jinghua secretly put a little soothing powder developed by Feng Chuo into her tea.
After Grandma Madan drank it, she fell asleep soon after.
After sending Granny Madan back to her room, Yue Jinghua pretended to return to her cabin and quietly blew out the candles.
Darkness and silence once again enveloped the Mazzaro breeding farm as usual.
In the cowshed, several snowflake cows were chewing hay, everything was normal.
A few hours passed, and Yue Jinghua, who once again appeared in the state of his second soul, looked around closely like a Siberian shepherd dog on high alert.
The Xuan Zhen is operating normally, and there is no strange smell in the bullpen.
Just when Yue Jinghua thought that everything would be safe and sound tonight, a few giant-winged mosquitoes released to let loose a signal.
In the third bullpen, there was something strange.
Like a wisp of breeze, Yue Jinghua dodged through several cowsheds and sneaked into the third cowshed silently.
In the bullpen, a mysterious formation covered with strange runes was emitting a dim light.
The light enveloped a strong snowflake cow and swallowed it up silently while it was eating hay.
Yue Jinghua, who witnessed all this, immediately understood.
No wonder she and Madan's mother-in-law had been squatting outside the cowshed for the past few days, but they didn't find the cattle thief. It turned out that the cattle thief actually used this method to steal the snowflake cattle.
Yue Jinghua didn't know much about profound formations, but she happened to recognize the one she just saw.
That's a teleportation array.
When Yue Jinghua participated in the one-star mercenary assessment, she passed through the four-way teleportation array and arrived at the small town of Sabah, thousands of miles away from the Shang Kingdom. The teleportation array she used at that time was the same as the one she saw just now, stealing snowflakes.
Niu's mysterious formation is very similar.
It's just that the runes on the profound formation are slightly different, and judging from the speed and light of the eradication of the profound formation, this teleportation formation is much smaller.
"Damn cattle thief, I've been working hard for several days, and I still haven't caught you right now," Yue Jinghua spat, and quickly moved to the remote corner where the Snowflake Cow skeleton was found during the day.
