It seems that after he broke through to the middle stage of the body refining realm, he left the village and became an escort in the "Yuanwei Escort Bureau". He usually followed the people of the "Yuanwei Escort Agency" to transport escorts to major cities in Cangjiang Prefecture, and there were very few escorts throughout the year.

go home.

It's just that I just came back from transporting escorts some time ago. It was rare that I had time to rest, so I went back to Zhangjia Village, which is dozens of miles outside Qingshi City.

Unexpectedly, as soon as they got home, the family complained that there was a monster leopard in the nearby mountains, and it would occasionally go down the mountain to steal the livestock raised in the village. It was not that Zhangjiacun didn’t have martial artists who knew how to practice, but the villagers continued to do so when they were on guard.

I haven't caught it several times.

The monster has not hurt anyone so far, but it frequently goes down the mountain to steal livestock raised in the village. In fact, most people who encounter these low-level monsters will not report it to the Tianjian Division.

Monsters are inherently a precious resource for cultivation. In addition to demon pills, even the flesh and blood of monsters that contain some vitality are of great benefit to cultivators, not to mention the blood of monsters.

Li Guhong used to be able to eat the monster meat that his father brought home from time to time, but now the low-level monsters are of little use to him. Apart from exchanging some yuan coins, he doesn't need them.

Ordinary people are not the same. If you can kill a monster, no matter how low your level is, it can at least equal the income of an ordinary person's family for several years.

Therefore, no one in Zhangjia Village thought of reporting to the official. This wealth is so exciting. Of course, they also have the strength to deal with this monster, but this monster seems to be very cunning. Until now, the village has also

Not caught.

The man was angry because the monster beast that looked like a leopard came down the mountain again some time ago and killed two pigs that he had kept at home for a long time. It ate one on the spot and killed the other one.

He was discovered by the villagers before he could do it.

As soon as he returned home, his parents complained to the man that although his family was fine, it could be said that his trip to the escort during this time was in vain.

After he appeased his parents at home, he asked acquaintances in the village about the situation. It turned out that this was not the first time that this had happened in the village. There had been two incidents of monsters descending from the mountain in the village before.

However, no one in the village could see the murderer who stole the livestock the previous two times. Only from the leftover pigs and cows, the experienced old hunter in the village deduced that it was a leopard demon.

Everyone was prepared to prevent the monster from coming down the mountain again. Unexpectedly, the monster was so cunning that it could hide from everyone and sneak into the man's pigsty to eat.

It wasn't until the man's pigs were bitten to death and most of them eaten that the villagers rushed over in time. The man's father seemed to have had a fight with the leopard demon. Although his pigs were not eaten, two of them were already dead.

,

If the man's father and a group of people hadn't rushed over in time, there wouldn't have been any pigsty left. It was only this time that the villagers saw the appearance of the monster and were sure it was a leopard monster in the late stage of the body refining realm.

Due to time constraints, the man did not stay at home with the villagers to hunt down the monster beast. He only left some money for his family, comforted his parents, and then returned to the escort agency in Qingshi City.

In the past few days, the escort agency had received new orders, and he was preparing to leave for the next escort. Before leaving, he habitually had a drink with a few familiar brothers in the escort agency, and that was how the above conversation took place.

Li Guhong overheard the man's complaints while eating. He knew that his chance had come. The man made it clear that the leopard demon was in the late stage of body refining. The villagers in Zhangjia Village did not report it to the official, but planned to handle it on their own.

In fact, the Tianjian Division also has express regulations on this kind of monsters. If a monster is found that is above the nourishment period, no matter where it is, the government must be notified immediately and wait for the Tianjian Division to handle it. If you conceal it and do not report it, the Tianjian Division will not care about your life or death.

We will not be responsible for monsters hurting people.

The reason for this regulation is that monsters in the Qi nourishing stage, no matter what species they are, can launch out-of-body vitality attacks and are 100% capable of killing people, which is extremely dangerous for ordinary people.

Those monster beasts that are still in the body refining realm are different. Take rabbits as an example. The rabbits in the body refining realm are just bigger rabbits, and their attack power is not very high.

In fact, many monsters are just a little smarter at this stage, but they don't actually change much, and their eating habits won't change much either.

If a monster breaks through to the Qi-nurturing stage, no matter what species it is, the requirements for flesh and blood are very high at this stage.

Purely herbivorous species will also become vegetarian when they reach this state. Because monsters are like humans in this state and can use some vitality as a means to hurt people, so it is inevitable that incidents of cannibalism will occur. Rabbits

It will bite when pressed.

After listening carefully to the man's complaints, Li Guhong made up his mind to go to Zhangjiacun. He stood up and walked slowly towards the man.

"Sorry brothers, I have to interrupt you."

Li Guhong smiled and cupped his fists and saluted everyone at the table. Several people at the table felt confused, but they stretched out their hands to avoid hitting the smiling man. Several men present also cupped their fists and saluted him in return.

"Let me introduce myself first. I am Li Guhong, the "special" agent of the Tianjian Division of Qingshi City. I am currently performing a trial mission and need to kill several monster beasts in the body refining stage."

Li Guhong paused, took out his token with the seal of the Tianjian Division that was given to him last time by the Tianjian Division, and waved it in front of a few people.

Anyway, those men could at most recognize the mark of Tianjian Division, and it was impossible for them to know other details. Not everyone would dare to impersonate Tianjian Division.

"I just heard this elder brother mention that a leopard demon appeared in his village. Out of concern for the mission, I came here to inquire about it. I hope you can make it easier for me. I am very grateful."

Having said this, Li Guhong once again hugged his fists to all the men present.

The man from Zhangjiacun sitting next to him also said cheerfully,

"It turns out to be Brother Li. You must have heard everything I just said, and I won't repeat it again. Your purpose is to get that leopard demon, right?"

The man looked at Li Guhong with a determined expression. Li Guhong's purpose had been made very clear. When Li Guhong nodded, he spoke again.

"I personally hope you can solve it. The sooner this beast is solved, the more peaceful I will be. But other people in the village may not think so."

The man's voice changed and he explained the reason to Li Guhong.

"You also know the value of the monster beast. This monster beast is very important to the people in the village. I can only tell you the address of Zhangjiacun. You can go to our place to inquire about the monster beast first. Gu Hong

Brother, you can only discuss it with the people in the village."

Li Guhong nodded. It was a good thing for this man to say that. In fact, Li Guhong's request was a bit excessive. He shared a share of the pie with others for no reason. It could even be said to be "picking peaches".

The man seemed to have thought of something, took out a jade pendant from his body, pointed at the jade pendant and looked at Li Guhong,

"I'm about to go out as a escort. I can't accompany you back in person. Just take this piece of jade. When you get to our village, you can tell the people in the village that you were introduced by Zhang Xiaoshun, the head of the village, who came to help.

Friends who are demon slayers, it’s best not to reveal your identity, otherwise it will be difficult for me to explain, and the people in the village will think that I reported it to the government when I returned to the city, which will make it difficult for me."

Li Guhong took the jade pendant and looked at it carefully for a while. It was just an ordinary jade stone with a somewhat primitive-looking word "Shun" engraved on it. Needless to say, this was a man's personal belongings and a bit of a "token".

That tastes good.

Li Guhong hugged everyone again and said loudly,

"Then I'd like to thank Brother Xiaoshun first. Time waits for no one, so I'll take the first step. This meal will be regarded as my meeting gift to all brothers. See you again when we are destined!"

Without waiting for their response, Li Guhong quickly walked to the counter, settled the bills for the two tables, and then walked directly out of the "Bisheng Inn".

There were several faint sounds of "Heroic!" and "Heroes come from young" and other words from behind him, which made Li Guhong's vanity burst.

····················

After coming out of the "Bisheng Inn", Li Guhong did not choose to go home directly. He first ran to Tianjiansi, intending to seek help.

First, Li Guhong didn't know where Zhangjia Village was outside the city.

Secondly, it was impossible for him to run there alone.

So Li Guhong wanted to go to Tianjian Division to borrow a horse and get a map so that he could find and reach his destination. Now he was blind, even if he knew there were monsters there, he couldn't do anything.

Entering the hall of the Tianjian Department again, but this time he didn't see anyone, Li Guhong went directly to Wei Li's lounge. It was just after noon now, if Wei Li was in the Tianjian Department

He should be here too.

But this time Li Guhong missed it. Wei Li was not in the Tianjian Division at all, and he didn't know whether Wei Li was on a mission or deliberately avoiding him.

Li Guhong searched several places but could not find any trace of him. Finally, he asked a man wearing the uniform of a steward of the Tianjian Division and confirmed that Wei Li was indeed not in the Tianjian Division.

Not to mention Wei Li, Li Guhong asked the names of several familiar people in succession. He even asked about Li Ziya's whereabouts, but there was no acquaintance in the Tianjian Department at all.

After searching around and not finding the person he was looking for, Li Guhong could only choose to leave the Tianjian Division silently.

"They said they wouldn't provide any help, but they really didn't provide any help. Could they be avoiding me on purpose? Are they so cruel?"
