"I didn't miss much, but I happened to catch you up at the most critical moment." When Jiang Tian saw this, he couldn't help but smile immediately: "Of course, at the moment I just want to borrow the head of a strange beast nearby. I thought it was just for on-the-spot testing. Do you have any idea?"
"Of course!" Zheng Jinwu said without hesitation: "Now that I have led the team back, not to mention the newly chopped heads of alien beasts, even if they are live alien beasts, I can get them for you. Just come and play." Hearing this, Jiang Tian couldn't help but smile and said, "That's great! Thank you very much."
"Please wait a moment!" Zheng Jinwu said a few words to a general next to him, and then said to Jiang Tian with emotion: "I have been thinking about you for a little while now, sir! If it weren't for the methods you taught me, And countermeasures, how many of my men are good?"
"It's just a strange beast. I've been ordered to hunt down and kill it at least twenty or thirty times these days. It's just that it was taken away privately and a lot of the remaining corpses were leaked out. It's really not worth mentioning." Then he showed a speechless expression and said: "Did you know that there are still people who secretly use these things as medicine, claiming that the form complements the form? That's really..."
"Used as medicine? There are people who are so reckless." Jiang Tian couldn't help but feel goosebumps, and the cold air rushed from the top of his head to his tailbone: then he thought about it again and said: "By the way, those people ate this stuff, Is there nothing wrong at all?"
"How can there be nothing? The vomiting and diarrhea are just fine; and the food makes me paralyzed and unable to move for several days." Zheng Jinwu shook his head with disgust and said: "But just relying on these charcoal and black ointment , it will not lead to eating dead people directly. There are also quack doctors who use it to combine medicine."
"In this case, I suddenly had a bold idea." Jiang Tian's heart moved when he heard this, and he suddenly thought of Internet memes about invasive species in later generations, such as crayfish. "It just requires some conditions and experiments for confirmation and verification."
As the sky began to get dark, Zheng Jinwu had no intention of going back, so he asked someone to bring four bowls and four plates of wine and food, and took Jiang Tian to drink on the spot. When the lanterns came on, the glazed wind lanterns, torches, and fire cages were also lit in the courtyard, making them brightly illuminated.
A specially made cage car was also sent from the outside; and there was a gray-skinned beast lying in the cage. Its claws and teeth were chopped off and its limbs and neck were nailed to death with iron hoops. It looked like it was dying. The leader was another old acquaintance of Jiang Tian, Chen Wentai, who was promoted to brigade commander.
Under his command, the gray-skinned beast was quickly lifted out of the special cage by Sergeant Sakon using a steel fork gun and scratching hook; and when the beast began to struggle, someone came Taking a sharp hook gun, he inserted it into its texture and stopped it.
"This is just because the men have dealt with it a lot and have gained some experience and skills." Seeing this, Zheng Jinwu couldn't help but smile slightly and said: "After these days, I actually have some other gains, but We have to wait until Jiang Sheng comes to visit and then we can show them all."
While they were drinking and talking, the ferocious beast that had clearly been arranged for him, the detained sergeant who had no power to resist, suddenly burst out and pushed in from the specially opened exit of the greenhouse. Then, the remaining people became solemnly alert.
Because the relatively thin and fragile glass cover cannot stop the rioting beasts at all. Therefore, everyone has already made preparations to capture and control this ferocious beast again anytime and anywhere. However, what was unexpected was that the ferocious beast actually crawled forward instinctively.
The severely injured and restrained body squirmed with a low-pitched scream, as if it was trying its best to get closer to the bone fragment that was the source of radiation contamination; even if the body fluids torn from the body were flowing all over the floor. The next moment, the roar of this ferocious beast suddenly turned into a howl, and then the whole body began to vibrate under the skin.
"Be careful!" "Back off!" Seeing this, Jiang Tian suddenly felt something bad in his heart, and he and Zheng Jinwu shouted one after another; and at the moment when the Jinwu disciples who were surrounding and watching heard the sound, they quickly raised their feet and backed away; dull With a bang, the ferocious beast suddenly exploded like a balloon.
The glazed cover of the small half of the flower shop was sprayed with black flowing residue and juice; then, Jiang Tian and others looked in from the other end and found that where the ferocious beast itself was, there was only He was tied to the chopping board, a pile of scattered bones in a mess.
"What kind of good thing is this?" In an instant, Zheng Jinwu's eyes lit up; he couldn't help but excitedly crushed the wine cup and said, "You can actually deal with (kill) ready-made ferocious beasts?" while Jiang Tian asked. He couldn't help but said: "I think we can try using ghost people."
"Ghost man? This is a bit troublesome." However, when Zheng Jinwu heard this, he said with a troubled expression: "This thing is more intelligent than a strange beast. It will either die or run away after encountering it, but it is extremely difficult to capture; therefore, The few ghosts that were discovered and captured alive were all taken away by the superiors."
Of course, according to Zheng Jinwu's follow-up statement, in the process of tracking down "animal disasters" in the past half year, they also encountered and discovered many different types of "exotic beasts", and began to record their names separately. Consider subsequent screening and different response methods.
There are a few of them. Jiang Tian initially discovered green beasts that are as big as a calf with green leather scales, are invulnerable to swords and guns, and have claws and claws that tear through gold and iron. They are very powerful and unstoppable in terms of speed and strength. There are also more in number, but they are slightly smaller and skinny. Red beasts that resemble armor and leather, have sharp claws and faster speeds, and move in groups;
In addition, there are also white beasts that are suspected of being summoned temporarily. They look like giant, hairless mastiffs. They can’t tell the difference between friend and foe, and they only rely on animalistic instincts to move around. Once hungry and thirsty, they can even eat each other. They are also a “beast disaster” in the countryside and are the most commonly encountered. kind of.
However, there is another kind of gray beast that is the smallest, has thick fur, looks like a big slit wolf but has the highest intelligence. Although there are not many in number, it is extremely good at hiding and escaping. It is also the species that is least likely to be hunted down by local recovery teams, with the cooperation of traditional traps and agency methods.
Finally, there is an extremely rare black beast that almost only exists in legends; even the real members of the Jinwu Guard have only glimpsed it from a distance. It is said that this strange beast is covered with scales and horns, which is similar to the mythical unicorn that looks more like a horse than a deer, and has been rumored to be the "black unicorn" by the people.
So much so that rumors arose among the people, saying that the country was evil again, so that the ominous omen of the auspicious beast turning into a black beast was a warning from heaven. The ability of this black beast seems to be to intimidate and limit the range of activities of several other strange beasts.
However, when he heard the name Black Beast, Jiang Tian couldn't help but think of the beautiful memories brought by the dozens of gigabyte folders in the solid-state drive installed on his tablet computer. It's a pity that all the water, electricity and air conditioning networks are gone.
In comparison, the ghosts Jinwuwei encountered and killed were relatively simple. Because they are basically the result of physical deformation. Therefore, no matter what form it takes, it is closely related to the quality of its predecessor. It belongs to the type where the strong are always strong and the weak have a low limit.
Moreover, most ghosts will slowly lose their minds over time, leaving only their wild instinct to attack living creatures. The original life span has also been greatly reduced. Therefore, after being seriously injured and captured, if they are not able to eat for a long time, their whole body will collapse and die.
But there are also some individuals who have survived the mutation and become immortal, and possess strange abilities derived from them. Such as the claws that crack gold, the webbed claws that can absorb the four walls, spit out poison or acidic water, make dizzying strange sounds, and even submerge underwater for a long time, and other weird abilities.
But no matter what, once it was proven that this thing of unknown origin at the murder scene of the Tower Cave had an unusual special effect on strange beasts, it was natural to find ways to apply it to the front line of "beast disasters".
On the next day, Luoyang County also escorted Fengxian Temple. The other monks who luckily escaped because they had other things to do came over to accept the joint interrogation of Jinwuwei and Wudesi. As a result, the origin of the foreign bone in the pagoda cave soon emerged.
"You said that most of the things enshrined in this pagoda cave are the cremated relics of monks from the ancient Western Regions? Rather than the remains of demons with unknown origins?" Jiang Tian couldn't help but look at the confession and said in surprise: This kind of thing can mutate flesh and blood. The source of radiation pollution that produces biological toxicity is nothing but a relic of a great virtue.
"No, if it's an ancient bone relic, why didn't an accident happen long ago, but why did it change yesterday?" Then he shook his head and said: "This obviously doesn't make sense, or it could be said that something has been obtained in the pagoda cave recently. What is it that causes obvious changes?"
"I think there is still a question here. Who rose up in violence before and killed Dexin and his disciples? How did they escape without a trace?" Zhu Street envoy also agreed and added. He asked: "Is it related to this change?"
"By the way, wasn't the reason Wude Si asked for cooperation in the first place because he was suspected of being a beast?" Hearing this, Jiang Tian couldn't help but think of the traces he had seen inside the tower cave before. "In this case, immediately call Luoyang County and Wude Division, and record the on-site inspections before and after."
Afterwards, after comparing the two inspection documents word for word on the spot, the two inspection documents looked a little thin, scrawled, and stained with ink spots. However, Zheng Jinwu and Zhu Jieshi spontaneously stood up and sighed loudly: "Sure enough, So” “Found the problem.”
"In this case, let me make a bold guess and conjecture." Jiang Tian then said: "For example, the murderer did not escape, but was hiding in place." Deputy Custody Song, who was unable to keep up with his thoughts and had a dazed look in his eyes, said in surprise: "Hiding in the same place! Where?"
"Of course they are mixed in with those rotten corpses." Jiang Tian continued: However, Deputy Custody Song became even more confused when he heard this: "How is this possible? Could it be that after the murderer committed suicide, he could still cut himself into pieces?" , scattered around?"
"What if I say that the murderer here is not a murderer in the normal sense, but a ferocious beast or a ghost?" Jiang Tian followed his thoughts and said: "And the other people present are not victims, but Is he an accomplice or a criminal hiding in secret?"
"You mean?" Zhu Street envoy couldn't help being a little shocked when he heard this: "Someone is harboring a vicious beast or a ghost here? And then something happened because of it!"
"Yes, that's roughly the case." Jiang Tian nodded and said: "If we make a further guess, someone accidentally opened the vessel where the foreign objects were sealed; then, the strange beasts/ghosts hidden in it were inspired to kill wildly. If you get angry, you will inevitably end up exploding and dying."
"This... this... is too unbelievable!" When Deputy Custody Song heard this, his face was full of hesitation and confusion: "If we only rely on these inferences without more physical verification, it will be difficult. Take it to the superiors to explain!"
"Then let's verify it from the side first." After hearing this, Jiang Tian said confidently: "I also ask Wu Desi to find for me the person who first discovered the scene; and also ask the monks in the temple whether they have been there recently. Some people donated large sums of money or offered artifacts to the temple.”
However, more than an hour later, Deputy Custody Song turned back with an ugly face and said: "It's gone, it's all gone; whether it's the foreign businessman who said he came to fulfill his wish, or the person who first discovered it."
"Isn't this a good thing?" Jiang Tian smiled slightly: "Regardless of life or death, disappearing at this time undoubtedly proves that there is something evil in your mind. Next, it is your turn to use Wu Desi to investigate and question the rest. Does the monk have any accomplices who are still on the run?"
