Mercenaries and Adventurers

The three returned to the gate of the farm, and Mr. Weiss called his housekeeper over. After the two discussed it, Mr. Weiss set off and returned to Kendall City to find someone.

Millendon brought Zhao Ji a jug of water, because Zhao Ji made it clear that he couldn't eat anything today, so he only needed to drink some water. In this regard, Millenton expressed his understanding. Two days ago, he also went into the bullpen to see it, and he couldn't eat anything that day.

Seeing Millenton and the others go out and return, the farmers gathered at the gate of the farm surrounded them and asked Millenton about the situation. Millenton gave a general account of what they had just discovered to the people who came around, and heard that the monster that attacked the cattle ran away from the items of the Imperial Border Knights. Some reckless people cursed directly, while others hoped that someone from the Knights would come over and deal with this monster quickly, so that they would no longer be afraid.

Zhao Ji drank a lot of water, took a rest, called Millenton, and the two entered the farm again.

Before entering, Mr. Parkron, the manager of the farm, stopped Millendon, hoping to let him pick up a bag of grain when he came out later. When the people from the farm came out, they didn't bring any food because of their urgency. At this time, the young man was fine, but the children in each family were a little hungry. I hope that Millenton will take out a bag of grain from the farm storehouse to make a meal later.

Millenton agreed, and declined the key to the farm storehouse that Pakron handed over, saying that it was just a meal, and his family had food, so it was enough to eat his food, and there was no need for the farm's food.

Mr. Parkron was rejected, so he had no choice but to go back and organize people to start a fire. There is no need to find the cooking pot. After all, the iron pot for cooking is a rare valuable thing in the farmer's house. When he was evacuated from the farm before , Some farmers took out their own pots.

But they didn't think of taking the food.

-------------------

When he came to the gate of the bullpen again, Millenton still said that he would not go in, and he didn't want to be disgusted again.

"Huh." Zhao Ji thought that the militia captain was a loyal person. We all cooperated very well when we were looking for the monsters together just now. When we returned to the cowshed, he expressed his unwillingness to cooperate. Bitter.

Forget it, this person is not enough friends.

Muttering, Zhao Ji drew out his sword and entered the cowshed.

Avoiding the crawling maggots and flying flies, Zhao Ji swung his long sword to drive away the returning crows again. With the experience of chasing the light yellow slime left by the monster crawling just now, Zhao Ji carefully observed the monster slime on the cattle carcass and in the cattle pen.

There were traces of monsters crawling in many places in the cattle pen. Some appeared from the gaps in the back of the cattle, and disappeared from the mouth of the cattle after circling around the back of the cattle.

Zhao Ji estimated that the monster re-entered the cattle from the mouth of the cattle.

The same is true for the other traces of light yellow mucus in the cattle pen, most of which are returned to the cattle from the wounds of the cattle after going around in a circle. Zhao Ji couldn't judge the sequence of each trace, so he could only think that these traces all appeared together that night.

Only one trace was different, though.

This trail of monster slime crawled out from the viscera of the cattle laid on the ground, bypassed the wooden fence of the cattle pen, entered the passage of the cattle shed, and finally entered another cattle pen.

Zhao Ji hurriedly withdrew from the pen where the cattle were dead, and followed the traces to a pen with better conditions in the pen.

The ground in this cattle pen is covered with hay, and the manure inside has also been cleaned up. The lighting conditions here are much better than those in the innermost part of the cattle pen. Zhao Jineng felt that there used to be farming cattle in this cattle pen, but for some reason they were all farming cattle, and the living conditions were different. And Zhao Ji circled the cowshed with his eyes, obviously only this cowpen was alone, and the other cowpens had the same conditions.

The traces disappeared here, and it was obvious that the monster finally entered the body of a cattle here.

Zhao Ji swallowed his saliva, it seems that things are getting a little bad. After the previous accident, the cattle in the cattle pen have been freely raised by the farmers in the farm, and now they have gathered with the farmers at the gate of the farm.

And a few days have passed, and it is not known whether the monster will run away or hide in these few days.

'No, no one or animal has been attacked in the past two days, and no one has seen the monster. Judging from the monster's ferocious eating method, it is not a law-abiding one. Well, I have to consider one more thing, the monster was put in a metal bottle before, without any food in it, and it can survive in the bottle for a long time, it seems that this monster is a way of survival that is different from normal Animals are different. They can eat for a long time without eating, just like snakes, and their movement and shape are similar to snakes. It seems that it should be in a rest period after eating. There is no possibility of eating again in the near future. '

Thinking of this, Zhao Ji was sure that there was a high probability that the monster was in the body of the cattle that was staying in front of the cattle pen in front of him. Why is it in the body of the cattle instead of just finding a place to hide?

Zhao Ji mainly considered it based on the way the monster eats. It can easily enter the animal's body and hide safely. Why do you need to find a cold corner to hide?

Zhao Ji directly pulled in Milton, who was waiting outside the cowshed, and asked him to point out which cow was in this different pen and who was looking after it now.

Millenton, who was dragged into the bullpen by Kiel, thought that Kiel thought he was going to play a joke on him for not entering the bullpen, so he kept his eyes closed, pinched his nose, and held his breath. Tone, thinking that even if I come in, I won't see or hear it, or that's it.

As a result, after hearing Zhao Ji inquiring about the situation of a cattle pen, and hearing that Zhao Ji suspected that the monster had moved into the body of another cattle, he immediately opened his eyes to confirm which cattle pen was in front of him.

"This cattle pen is where the best breeding cattle in the farm are kept. You mean that the monster has now gone to this cow?" Millenton answered Zhao Ji's question in surprise, and then asked again.

"Not on the cow, but inside the cow. That's right, if it's the best breeder, it's understandable. This monster must find the healthiest animal as a safe place, and once it wants to eat again If so, it can eat directly in the animal's body. There is no need to find a new prey."

"We acted fast. A few days have passed. We don't know the monster's habits. We don't know if it will be hungry at any time and eat again at any time."

"Okay, I know where this stud is now. Mr. Parkron put it in the care of the best cattle guy on our farm. Let's go out now."

Zhao Ji and Millenton walked out of the cattle pen in a hurry, and Zhao Ji's long sword was not put away. He didn't know if he would use it later, so he put it away for now.

Just a few steps away from the cowshed, Millenton slapped his head and said to Keir: "Wait a minute, I'll carry the grain, soon."

Shrugging his shoulders, since Millenton still had time to get the grain, he was no longer in a hurry, since it wasn't his cattle anyway. That's right, thinking about it this way, the cow doesn't belong to Millenton, so why are they so anxious.

Millenton turned around and went to the second floor area of ​​the farm from a staircase next to him. Since the walking platform on the second floor was only covered by simple wooden railings, Zhao Ji could see Millenton return to his home from the ground floor, open the door with a key, and carry out a bag of grain from inside.

The food is packed in burlap bags, neither big nor small. It is neither a small bag that can hold ten kilograms nor a big bag that can hold fifty kilograms, but an ordinary bag that can be carried by a normal adult. Millenton ran down the stairs with big strides holding the bag, and came to Zhao Ji.

"Okay, let's go."

The two returned to the gate of the farm together.

---------------

Millenton directly handed over the grain to a random farmer, and asked the farmer to bring the grain to Mr. Parkron, and asked him to quickly arrange the meals for the children.

Then Millenton took Zhao Ji to find the farmer who was looking after his cattle in the field outside the gate. Hearing that Millenton said that the monster might be on a bull in the herd, the cattle breeder quickly led the two to find the bull in the herd.

The farmer pointed to the bull that was stunned in the herd and said, "No wonder, Tie Li has been eating very little in the past two days, but drank a lot of water. Usually, if it is kept together with other cattle, it will It will definitely bully other small farm cattle. Look at it today, it has not had much energy since morning, it just stands there and does not move. If you pull it away, it will follow obediently. there is none left."

Millenton gave the farmer a push: "Okay, just talk too much, and drive the other cattle far away. Since there are so many signs, why didn't you say it earlier, but I think about it here." Already."

The farmer chuckled, apparently because he was afraid that Mr. Parkron would find out about trouble with him later. He then drove the other cattle aside. And this bull was not greeted and did not walk with the other cattle. It just stood there blankly, looking at the plowed land in the field with a pair of bull eyes.

Zhao Ji was more and more sure that the monster was now in the body of this bull. He looked around, and there were many idle farmers around. They all saw Millenton and Zhao Ji with a sword coming out of the farm and went straight to the cattle. Their conversation just now It was not kept secret~www.readwn.com~ As a result, after some people heard it, they told the people next to them, and everyone knew that the monster might be on their bull now.

The farmers who had seen the disgusting and tragic scene in the cowshed felt like an enemy, but other farmers and peasant women who had never been to the cowshed to see it with their own eyes surrounded them curiously, wanting to see this little Kiel brother How to kill monsters. Some young people gathered around just to see the shining long sword in Kiel's hand.

Zhao Ji looked at the surrounding crowd, and said to Millenton, "Can you stop the surrounding people from surrounding you? The danger of that monster is not small. What if something happens?"

Millenton nodded, walked to the crowd of onlookers, told the others to disperse, and told how dangerous the monster was, and it might be dangerous for everyone to gather around.

A small group of timid people retreated a little, but most of the onlookers might think that there are so many of them here, so there is no safety problem. One person can crush the monster to death with one foot.

Millenton, who failed to disperse the crowd of onlookers, came over and gave Zhao Ji a helpless result, so Zhao Ji could only accept it with a pinch of his nose. Anyway, he had already told others about his warning. If they didn’t listen, it was their fault. The matter has nothing to do with him, he has fulfilled his duty of warning.

In this way, Zhao Ji and Millenton first guarded the bull that was parasitized by the monster, and waited for Mr. Weiss to find someone from Kendall City, hoping that he could find an organization qualified to deal with the monster. After all, it was easy to kill monsters, but once people from the Imperial Border Knights came to their door, they couldn't bear the cabbages.

After all, after all, Zhao Ji and Mr. Weiss still couldn't figure out what the trouble caused by this monster owned by the Knights was.
