Brutal creatures with intelligence!
Scary enough to target the city guards, use the lives of civilians to set traps, and use those guards who protect the city as food for the soul pet group.
Such a terrifying group of people lives in a city full of flowers, living in the streets and alleys where people come and go. When walking at night or sleeping, they are likely to pass by. Its life lies only in their terrible scheming...
Chu Mu's heart is very heavy. It's not that he hasn't seen death before, but the wisdom of these creatures made Chu Mu's hair stand on end, just like the terrible looming famine, the arrival of disaster...
Ye Qingzi wanted to say something, but when she thought of the tragedy that happened before, she also felt an indescribable emotion in her heart, so she could only silently follow Chu Mu's side.
…
The next day, the news was buried in the blockade of the city officials.
Last night, a total of 100 city guards and ten air guards, including 300 civilians who were used as bait, were all killed in the city. This can be said to be the most astonishing murder in the history of Li City!
However, the officials from Li City used the most direct force to suppress this terrible news. In the end, it was rumored that a group of underground soul pet masters fought in the West Street of Central City, resulting in the death and injury of most people.
…
"Three days, solve this matter for me within three days. If the murderer is not found and dealt with after three days, I will throw you to the West Center Street for one night!" The general Cheng, who was in charge of the entire city's security, was furious. He patted the table and issued a military order to the city officials in the central city.
The chief officer of the central city, Li Gu, was also trembling. Since the civilian area of the central street was not the real area of Licheng, it didn't receive enough attention. Even if something happened, the chief officer of the city would suppress the news and deal with it privately.
Li Gu, the chief officer of the central city, thought that it was just some desperadoes doing evil, and that there would be nothing wrong with sending some city guards to patrol, but he didn't expect such a terrible thing to happen in the city.
Standing next to Li Gu, the chief officer of the central city, was Dongqing, the deputy captain of the Air Guard. Dongqing, who hadn't slept all night, looked very ugly.
Yesterday, Dongqing changed shifts with another vice-captain, and went back to rest early, so he was not among the ten air defenders. The haze of pain has been shrouding him since he got the news last night, making him fall into a state of being on the verge of an explosion.
After General Cheng left, the chief officer of the city, Li Gu, greeted him outside the door, and soon after, Li Gu returned here, sitting back in his seat with a gloomy expression.
In this hall, all the city guards and air guards above the deputy captain level have gathered. These people are silent and can't say a word.
Li Gu's sigh came out slowly, and it took a long time before he opened his mouth and said, "Licheng is already on high alert. This matter is indeed very serious, but we really don't have many people to dispatch. We don't even know what to do now. We don't even know what there are, so we'll have to call in some hunters to our aid."
"Zhang Shi, go and issue a few million-dollar rewards. Find some capable people and strangers to help us. The other captains lead their own teams, each with ten people, to patrol the West Street of the central city..." the chief officer of the city Li Gu said.
"Yes!" All the captains saluted solemnly.
"Wait." At this moment, Chu Mu, who had been silent all this time, spoke.
It was Chu Mu who conveyed the news to Dongqing, and this matter was brought under control before it spread. And Chu Mu was also listening to the city officials' meeting.
Li Gu looked at Chu Mu suspiciously, and asked puzzledly, "Who are you?"
"This is the soul pet master who told us the news." Dongqing introduced.
Li Gu glanced at Dongqing. For Li Gu, the only good thing about this tragedy was that Dongqing was not on the death list, otherwise things would be more serious.
"Take back the order just now. Now that the number of enemies and their hiding methods are unclear, it is not appropriate to recklessly send teams to search West Street." Chu Mu said in a serious tone.
"We are the city guards of the entire city, are we still worried?" The city adjutant frowned and said.
General Cheng only gave them three days to resolve the matter, and now there is no clue at all. These city officials are also under tremendous pressure, and there is no solution without a carpet search.
"Those things lure the city guards with the lives of the common people, and then use all the soul pets of the city guards as food, which shows that their intelligence is very high. If a large number of people are sent to the West Street to search now, there will be three results. The first is It is to find some clues, find out their lair, and then fight these soul pets. If this is the result, you also need to consider how many such monsters inhabit West Street, and whether your people can eliminate them! If they can settle the matter, if they can't, then they will cultivate another group of even more terrifying executioners, and the matter will worsen," Chu Mu said.
When Chu Mu said these words, everyone's eyes fell on him.
"The first possibility is relatively low, because since these soul pets can inhabit for so many days, they must have a special way of hiding. In addition, I fought with those things on the street the day before yesterday, and was chased for almost half a block. I can't even understand how they are hidden with my soul thoughts, if everyone present has reached the level of soul masters, then we can start a carpet search."
"You are a soul master?" Everyone showed surprise.
"En." Chu Mu nodded and said.
A twenty-year-old soul master is very rare in the world of soul pets. Before, everyone felt that it was too inexplicable for a young man who was not a member of the city guard to speak nonsense here, but when Chu Mu showed his strength Everyone was a little more serious after being surprised.
"This is Chu Chen, the wandering soul pet master, and this is his friend, the spiritual master Ye Qingzi. They have some understanding of the monsters that attacked our comrades in arms, and everyone will make a decision after listening to their analysis." Dongqing I was also surprised by Chu Mu's level, but soon I specially introduced Chu Mu and Ye Qingzi.
"I met them the day before yesterday. They can be invisible. I think it is this terrible skill that caused your people to be wiped out. This time the total invisible ability cannot be seen through by my soul master's soul. I noticed them because of my dark attribute Night Thunder Dream Beast, so I don't recommend you to search for it..." Chu Mu continued.
"Thunder and dark double-attribute dream beast!"
When Chu Mu said the name of his soul pet, several low sighs sounded. Those present were all soul pet masters at the vice-captain level and above. They all knew that the perception ability of dream beasts was among the best among demon spirits. It is indeed impossible to do anything.
"I just said that there are three situations. The second situation is that they are intelligent. If you take large-scale actions and their strength is no match, they will definitely rely on their hiding ability to lie dormant for a period of time, and then launch an attack when you relax. …”
"In the third case, they are stronger than you, so you should be able to understand the result..."
After Chu Mu said these words, everyone felt chills, especially when Chu Mu said the third result!
"No... it's not that scary, we have at least five hundred people, and thousands of soul pets..." The words of the deputy city official became somewhat lacklustre.
All the captains were silent. Thinking of the more than a hundred city guards being killed without even sending out a signal, and considering Chu Mu's mention that these soul pets have the ability to be invisible, they suddenly felt that this possibility was very unlikely. big.
"Not to mention the annihilation of the entire army, but it will definitely pay a more painful price than last night. The suggestion is that a larger number is needed, or the city lord from the city can send a more elite team. These things rely on eating the flesh and soul of the strong Cores, soul crystals, etc. to improve strength, if you dispatch too many people without knowing what they are, there is a certain possibility that they will send food to them. This matter cannot be solved with a large number of people..." Chu Mu Said.
"Then what should we do? The general of the city made it clear that there are not enough people here..." Li Gu, the city official, showed even more embarrassment, and his eyes fell on Dongqing.
"It's true that we can't mobilize personnel." Dongqing gave an affirmative answer.
Chu Mu looked at Dongqing and felt very strange. Why did Licheng be stingy with their personnel when such a tragedy happened? Did the city lord and general of Licheng not value the lives of hundreds of people so much
Dongqing also saw Chu Mu's doubts, and said with a wry smile: "It's inconvenient to disclose this matter, anyway, now we have to rely on the people in the area to resolve this matter. Brother Chu Chen, since you have analyzed this matter thoroughly, So what can we do? General Cheng allocated 50 million funds to call us, and we issued a reward of 10 million base funds. Since you understand these things, I still hope you can accept this reward, because we really don’t have any clues. …”
Chu Mu hesitated for a while. Chu Mu did intend to accept this reward before. After all, he still needs a large sum of money to strengthen his soul pet, but now it seems that this matter is not that simple at all. Whether he has the ability to accept it is still a big question. question.
"Then I'll give it a try, but if the risk factor is very high, I still hope that you will let an expert solve it..." Chu Mu finally agreed to accept the reward.
"Thank you so much, I salute you on behalf of those comrades who died!" Dongqing saluted Chu Mu very solemnly.
The infinitely dangerous incidents, but they dared to take over, the captains also admired Chu Mu very much. When Dongqing saluted, the captains also gave a simple respectful salute.
