Zhao Hua said, "Okay, let's go with you now and hunt the monster."

"Don't worry, it's already noon, you guys go home, we'll gather at Lijiatun tomorrow morning. This monster hunting doesn't make much money, it's purely to help Director Zhang."

"It doesn't matter whether it's money or not. Uncle Zhang usually takes good care of us. We have to help him when he's in trouble. What's more, it concerns the safety of the people in the nearby villages. Okay, then we'll go home first."

"It's settled. Bring your own hunting rifle when you come tomorrow, but don't bring your hunting dogs. The three I have are enough."

Zhao Hua and Zhao Yong drove their three-wheeled motorcycle home in a flash.

Liu Xia Lian turned around and came back, so the matter was finally arranged.

Lijiatun, intelligence station at the entrance of the village.

This season is the busy time for autumn harvest, and most of the villagers are so busy that they don’t even have time to eat hot meals. However, there are many idle people in the village. After all, isn’t it normal for a village with more than 2,000 people to have a few idle people?

Old Lady A said mysteriously, "I just came back from the county town yesterday. Something happened in Gaoying Village in the south of the city."

Old lady B asked quickly: "What's the matter? Tell me quickly?"

"It's terrible, it's terrible. A monster has appeared over there. The locals say it's called Old Tapir. It's two meters tall when it stands up, has red eyes, a green nose, and four hairy hooves. It eats people from the inside."

Everyone was confused: "What do you mean by eating from the inside?"

"I like to eat the soft part inside my stomach."

Everyone suddenly realized: "Then this old tapir must have bad teeth. He would not eat the good meat and only eat the soft ones. Those are all garbage. How disgusting."

Old Lady A quickly emphasized: "This is no joke. It has eaten five or six people, and three hunters have eaten it. The county can't do anything about it."

When everyone heard that, they started to get scared: "What should we do? It's only a hundred miles from Gaoying Village to here. My daughter-in-law and her friends go up the mountain to pick mushrooms every day and earn seven or eight yuan a day."

"Then tell your daughter-in-law not to go."

There were also some brave ones who snorted coldly: "Tsk, what are you afraid of? They have bombs on their waists. When they fall to the ground, the sound is louder than thunder. Even the mountain king would be scared away. This is no joke."

In the early morning, the red sun is rising and the weather is slightly cool, so I have started wearing thick coats.

At the entrance of Lijiatun Village, two vehicles gathered: a commercial vehicle and a 130-ton pickup truck with a tarpaulin.

There were seven people in total, and everyone was in high spirits.

Liu Xialian, Daya, Erya, Li Daniu, Zhao Hua, Zhao Yong, Liu Fuhong.

Liu Fuhong finally put on his glasses and looked quite knowledgeable.

Dahua, Saker Falcon, and three hunting dogs were all out in the field, riding in Liu Fuhong's pickup truck.

The others took the business car. Before leaving, Liu Xialian said, "This matter is actually quite serious. Six villagers died and three hunters died. The county is under great pressure, so Director Zhang recommended us. If we can't do it, we will have to report it to the province, and the impact will be too great. Based on the existing reports and photos, it is difficult to determine what kind of beast it is, but the only thing that is certain is that this beast is extremely ferocious, so everyone must be extremely careful. This time we are participating in the hunt as forest rangers, so we can only use ordinary hunting rifles and some old guns."

Daniu scratched his head and said, "If we encounter a powerful beast, ordinary hunting rifles are useless. Let me use your big knife when the time comes."

"Okay, let's go. When we get to our destination, follow the instructions and don't act recklessly. If the beasts are too ferocious, we must evacuate immediately and don't try to be brave."

"Yes."

Everyone set off, Zhao Yong drove in front and Liu Fuhong followed in a small truck.

The road was not short, about 70 to 80 kilometers. After more than an hour, we left the county town and reached a small road. The rammed earth road could only accommodate one car, and we had to be careful when passing other cars.

After walking for another ten miles, we finally arrived at our destination. The roads ahead were blocked and roadblocks were set up. Militiamen carrying long rifles were guarding the intersections.

"What are you doing?" asked the team leader in charge of the inspection.

Liu Xialian said: "I am a forest ranger from the forest farm. Director Zhang invited me to hunt monsters."

The team leader has a lot of things to do, take a look at the situation in the car.

Zhao Yong asked: "What are you looking at?"

"Look at you."

Just as the two sides were about to quarrel, someone in front of them shouted, "They are our own people, let them go in quickly."

There were tents at the foot of the mountain. Outside the tents, there were several people with bandages on their feet. County Magistrate Ma and Director Zhang were talking about something. Liu Xialian came over and said, "County Magistrate, Director Zhang."

Director Zhang said, "Now you are here. We are counting on you. People have been panicking these days. The situation is getting too chaotic and we can't control it any more. People are talking about the old tapir that roared into the village and ate people."

"It's so serious, what's going on with those people outside?"

"Wild boars have been making a lot of noise recently, and hunters nearby set traps. These people didn't know the markings in the forest, so they stepped on the traps and broke their bones."

"Okay, let's not waste any more time and go up the mountain now."

County Magistrate Ma hurriedly tried to persuade them to stay: "It's breakfast time now, why don't you have breakfast before going up the mountain?"

"I've already eaten on the way. We're in a hurry, so we should go as soon as possible."

Liu Xia Lian waved her hand, and a group of people came with hunting rifles, swords, shields, maces and other weapons on their backs. The hunting dogs had already put on armor, and the Saker Falcon flew into the sky.

The hillside in front of Gaoying Village is different from the one on the Lijiatun side. It can only be regarded as a hill. There is a big bulge on the flat ground. The mountain is covered with various trees, among which the lime tree is the most numerous. The lime trees are very tall, more than ten or twenty meters tall.

Liu Xia Lian waved her hand and took Daya's steel mace. "I feel something is wrong. There are rules for setting wild boar traps. The traps are set in the evening and the traps are collected early the next day. It doesn't matter if they hit the target or not. This seems to be done on purpose. Remember the leopard at Erdaohe Farm some time ago? The leopard, which usually weighed more than 100 kilograms, has grown to more than 300 kilograms. This is very unusual."

Zhao Hua thought thoughtfully: "You mean, this beast might also be raised by humans, but what is its purpose? Is it just to eat a few people and create chaos?"

"I don't know about that, but I'm sure those wild boar traps were set on purpose. I'll go ahead and you guys follow behind. Be alert and guard against sneak attacks."

Liu Xia Lian was walking in the front holding a steel mace. After walking less than a hundred meters, she suddenly smashed it into the ground. Bang, a wild boar trap was found buried under the dead leaves.

"Er Ya, put the clip in the snakeskin bag in your backpack. When you get back, ask Director Zhang to check who did this."

The Saker Falcon in the sky discovered something and quickly landed on Liu Xialian's shoulder. The Saker Falcon's vision was so good that its search efficiency was more than ten times that of a human.
