Zhu Minglang didn't mind, the bandits probably had already done a lot of killing and silencing, he didn't mind helping Zheng Yu destroy those bandit gangs, but the matter of the trolls was really important, killing one more was equivalent to saving a dozen human life.
"Zheng Yu, these trolls act strangely and often attack the weak points of our towns. What's your opinion?" Zhu Minglang asked.
"Brother Zhu, you think highly of me, I don't understand demons!" Zheng Yu said.
"Okay, be careful on the way to suppress the bandits, you weak scholar, don't charge forward." Zhu Minglang reminded.
Zhu Minglang has a habit, that is, when someone around him is using his brain, he will habitually throw all the problems he thinks to this person. After so many years of being at ease, he doesn't need to think about complicated things when raising silkworms.
But right now, I can only rely on myself. When we get to the scene of the incident, we should observe more and think more.
…
Arriving at Baicha Town, the town has been guarded by many officers and soldiers, and there are even troops at several important exits.
There is still a stench coming out of the town. Considering the need to find some clues, some corpses eaten by trolls have not been treated, and can only be exposed to the sun.
"Everyone is dead, so the officers and soldiers came here. What are you doing to surround the town now? Are you afraid that the corpse will change!" An old man cursed out of righteous indignation at the gate of the town.
Lian Chengzhu felt ashamed for a while, and did not dare to look at the old man.
He brought Zhu Minglang, Jin Minjun, Chu Yanyan and others into this miserable place, but another team from the Dragon Training Academy arrived first, and one of them, Zhu Minglang, was still very familiar, that was Nan Ye.
Most of Nan Ye's team seemed to be descendants of the Nan clan. They had their own monster seekers, and they didn't need the guidance of the city lord at all.
Seeing Zhu Minglang and others coming, those Nan's children didn't even say hello, and left very proudly, as if they had already got a clue and were heading to the wild.
"We're late." Jin Minjun frowned.
"There are a lot of monsters, and they may not be able to find them all in one team. Let's follow City Lord Lian." Chu Yanyan said.
"Go and see the corpse, we..." said the female student who was more beautiful than Li Yunzi, she was covering her nose with Xiangjuan.
"Okay, Senior Brother Jin and I will go and see, and you can look around to see if there are any claws, hairs, saliva left by the trolls." Zhu Minglang nodded, and also understood their psychological endurance.
Not all students among the students often travel outside, and there are not a few dragon priests who rarely see bloody scenes, especially female dragon priests, who rarely travel alone without a team.
Brother Jin and Zhu Minglang went to the place where the corpse was parked. It was an old house. The house was severely damaged, with bricks and tiles scattered all over the floor.
Because a large family was slaughtered by the ogre here, with the most corpses, and all the dead after that were carried here.
It was a big old house full of corpses. Brother Jin's expression changed after he stepped in, and he took out a fragrant juan to cover his nose. be consistent.
However, Senior Brother Jin had obviously seen bloody people. He observed the corpse while listening to City Lord Lian's narration.
"The biting is obvious, and most of the internal organs have been eaten. Can you tell what kind of monster it is?" Zhu Minglang asked this senior brother Jin.
Being able to become the guardian of the five flowers, this Senior Brother Jin must have something special.
"The bite is too strong, it's hard to tell, but the monster that eats the internal organs should be a human-faced mouse." Jin Minjun said.
"This woman has pinch marks on her neck and her body was smashed to pieces. Someone should have taken advantage of it." Zhu Minglang shook his head, pointed to one of the corpses and said to City Lord Lian, "The city owner sent someone to see what kind of neighbors this woman is. Who, it's better to ask him directly whether he killed this woman."
City Lord Lian leaned over to look and found that there was indeed a pinch mark on the woman's neck, so he hurriedly asked the pen officer next to him to record it, and then sent someone to investigate.
"Don't worry about that, someone has already walked ahead of us, and a troll is worth ten credits." Brother Jin gave Zhu Minglang a look, dissatisfied with his meddling.
"Some people are as evil as ogres, so don't let him hide in the crowd," Zhu Minglang said.
"What did you find?" Jin Minjun said with a cold snort.
"This old house has a lot of side doors. There are ten or twenty masters and servants living in the inner and outer courtyards, but none of them escaped from the mouth of the ogre, and they showed no signs of struggling..." Zhu Minglang focused on one From the beginning, he died on the people of this old house.
"So?" Brother Jin asked.
"I think they might have been hypnotized, and then the trolls dug out their internal organs and ate them one by one, so their death didn't look that painful. Except for being disemboweled, everything else was intact..." Zhu Minglang continued. .
"Hypnosis, could it be a vine rat at night!" Brother Jin immediately thought of this kind of ghost.
Nocturnal vines eat nocturnal vines, and they will absorb the hypnotic elements in the plant, so that the gas they excrete is not a stench like a weasel, but a powerful hypnotic!
The ogre who killed the family must be a big monster who has cultivated for more than 500 years. It hypnotized the whole family at night, and then ate everyone's internal organs without anyone noticing it, and even lived there. The few families nearby didn't notice it!
"So when we are looking for mountains, we should look for places with many nocturnal vines, and we should be rewarded." Zhu Minglang said.
"I wish you quick thinking, brother." Brother Jin immediately nodded in agreement, and his attitude towards Zhu Minglang also changed a little.
"These travelers who died in the inn showed signs of being scrambled and bitten, and there are very few survivors. Even the city lord, can you check for us the inns that were attacked, especially those near the inn. The location of an inn is very important, most likely it will be close to the den of the human-faced mouse." Zhu Minglang said.
City Lord Lian nodded and asked the writer behind him.
"The first one to be attacked should be Xiaochishan Station, twenty miles away from the town." The writer opened the record and said seriously.
"There should be a large group of human-faced mice. Everyone has to act together to go to Xiaochi Mountain." Zhu Minglang said.
Human-faced rats live in groups, unlike night-crossing vine rats, which can walk alone, there are a lot of them, and even the dragon shepherd will suffer.
Jin Minjun nodded heavily, the human-faced mouse should have a big lair.
The perpetrators were several kinds of monsters, or even more, and they broke into the town together in the middle of the night.
If their species can be analyzed in advance, it will be good to have some evidence to search for in the mountains and plains, otherwise, if you search aimlessly, you may not be able to find one in one winter.
"Junior Sister Chu has a dragon with a keen sense of smell. When the time comes, we will use our spiritual power to capture the evil spirits in the mountains. I believe we can catch them all in one go!" Jin Minjun said.
