After Chen Dabiao and a group of people in charge came over, they saw that the Lin family had found clues. They couldn't help but look at Li Hu with very admiring eyes. Li Hu also took it indifferently, but Fu Yidao rushed there with all the fuss.
After he came over, a thin man with fish-like lips next to him walked forward, squatted down and picked out a small piece of soil to taste it, and immediately said in surprise:
"It doesn't have any vitality or smell of animals! It's definitely not beasts or monsters!"
Lin Fengjin glanced at Li Hu. Li Hu knew that Lin Fengjin must be asking about the man's reliability, but he knew the name of Hu Qi. He had been a hunter for generations and was skilled in cooking eagles and dogs.
A good hand with medicinal arrows.
Seven years ago, the local magistrate was defeated when he was playing with his father-in-law. He was about to die and needed fresh tiger whip to rescue him. The Wang family spent two thousand taels of silver to invite Hu Qi. Within two days, a big bug was killed. With this favor, the Wang family
In one fell swoop, he became one of the largest households in Huishui County, comparable to the Wu family.
Therefore, Hu Qi's ability to distinguish animals, birds and insects can be said to be at the level of expert authority, so Li Hu nodded slightly to Lin Fengjin, indicating that his words were very reliable.
Lin Fengjin's mind has begun to spin rapidly. Although he doesn't know much at the moment, he can also infer some things from the clues:
The other party is attacking our caravan, and hostility is already evident. However, from the signs of this attack, it can also be inferred that the enemy is at least not strong at the moment. Otherwise, they would just kill them directly. Why bother to go to such trouble? Obviously?
He was also avoiding direct confrontation with his group.
By using such mysterious means to kill people, it can be seen that he is creating an atmosphere of mystery and terror. This is undoubtedly to make his group of people lose control and fall into panic. In other words, calm down and naturally
This will greatly disappoint the enemy.
The last inference is that if Hu Qi infers that the ones who dug holes to attack and kill the dogs are not living beasts, and he did not sense the evil and obscure aura, then, using the principle of elimination, the ones who came to attack are very likely.
It's possible that it was a machine beast created by the disciples of Momen and the top students of FeiGong Academy!
This is consistent with the clues detected by my own sense of smell!
Then it is almost certain that the tunnel dug underground by this human-controlled mechanical beast will not be very long! Because if it digs underground, the wear and tear on the claws of the mechanical beast and the internal core kinetic energy structure will undoubtedly be quite alarming! However,
It is almost impossible to catch it by following the clues!
"Well... it seems there is another opportunity. This is based on the analysis of the other party's situation." Lin Fengjin suddenly realized something else:
"If you want to trigger a riot in the entire caravan and destroy the psychology of the people under your command, then there is no doubt that doing this is the fastest and most efficient... The premise is that the character of the person lurking behind the scenes is not that mature and prudent.
kind."
As soon as he thought of this, Lin Fengjin immediately called Li Hu over:
"There is still an hour and a half before dawn. I want you to bring people and..."

At this time, in the darkness outside Dawangzhuang, three people gathered on a small hill nearby and looked at the activities in the village. One of the three people looked very dull, with thick lips and white eyes. He was the kind of person who was thrown away.
The one who is hard to notice among the crowd is sitting on the stone with a big prick, but judging from the attitude of the other two people in black clothes towards this man, they are very respectful and wish they could kneel down and talk to him.
The most striking feature of this dull man is the ring on his index finger.
------- It was a ring made of wood, without any decoration, very simple, and the texture of the wood was clearly visible. On the surface of the ring, there were two traces popped up with ink lines, almost like The burning is as clear as the ring. What's strange is that when you touch it with your hand, there is no damage to the surface. It's as if the burning marks are directly acting on the wooden interior of the ring.
There are only two types of people in the world who wear wooden rings, those who are not studying in academies and those who are pretending to be not studying in academies. Scholars will be awarded such a ring after they are recognized as having graduated from a non-conquering academy. The ring is on the face of the ring. The mark indicates the degree of recognition by the college, which is very strict.
A single-marked ring means that you have barely graduated, a double-marked ring means that you have fully met the graduation standards, and a three-marked ring means that you have performed well. In the past ten years, it seems that non-gong academies have only awarded seven three-marked ones. Mark Ring, as for the Four Mark Ring, which represents excellence, it is said that it has never appeared before.
"There are capable people in this caravan, and they advance and retreat in a well-organized manner. Even when they stayed, they were like an army, with a faint mixture of murderous aura and bloody energy floating around." The dull man said simply and straightforwardly: "The money you gave me is too little. I want to quit now."
The other two people were immediately shocked and said:
"Master Wan! We don't have all the manpower yet, so we all have to rely on you to slow down their actions! If you have any requirements or conditions, you can put them forward for discussion!"
The dull Master Wan held out three fingers:
"Three conditions, promise me three conditions to stay. First, help me cut down a golden nanmu as thick as a water tank. Second, the reward will be increased by an additional three thousand taels. Third, I want one cent of soul copper. .”
Although his words seemed to be "discussing", in fact, they were all like orders. The two people next to him looked at each other, and immediately felt very embarrassed, and couldn't help but say:
"The first two conditions are fine, but soul copper... I'm afraid it's really difficult to get. Because the leaders of major academies are also eyeing this thing, and almost every piece of sun and moon money circulating in the world is... It’s been stared at hard, let alone cooked money. It’s estimated that every piece has been simulated and cut out in advance, and the famous flower has its owner.”
Master Wan said calmly:
"I don't care, the caravan below has a murderous spirit, which is far beyond the concept of a mob you call it. If I take action rashly, it's hard to say whether the machine slaves released will be damaged. Just give it to you. The little remuneration I receive will not even cover my repair costs if an accident occurs! One penny of soul copper is absolutely indispensable."
"Master Wan, you didn't hesitate when you accepted our deposit of five hundred taels of gold!" A man in black suddenly sneered: "Now you want to go back on your word? Then just refund us one thousand taels of gold according to the agreement. !”
"Huh?" Master Wan obviously didn't expect that the opponent who had always been groveling would suddenly become tough, and he glared at him with one glance! Suddenly, the man in black's face changed drastically, and he retreated suddenly, but the force on the ground was already there. A bag of earth bulged up, and then the earth splashed out like an explosion!
As the soil splashed, only a black light was seen flickering and then disappearing. However, the feet of the man in black who was retreating immediately burst with blood and were broken from the ankle bones. He was about to grow. There was a scream, but Master Wan casually picked up an oil-paper umbrella next to him, and the tip of the umbrella seemed to be aimed at the mouth of the man in black intentionally or unintentionally!
Nothing unusual was seen. The screams of the man in black were immediately muted, and he fell stiffly from the air. He twitched a few times and then died. If you look closely, you can see that his face was covered with punctures.
Thin needles, very scary!
This is the power of mechanism art! In the hands of the disciples of Fei Gong Academy, nothing can be ignored. The simplest things in daily life will be turned into magic by them! Ordinary things will be turned into murderous weapons!
Another man in black never expected that the other party would fall out at once, so he immediately took two or three steps back and said in a trembling voice:
"Master Wan, yes, yes, I have something to discuss!"
But at this time, the clear sound of flapping wings suddenly came from the night sky, but because of the darkness, I couldn't see anything flying. After the sound stopped, I saw Master Wan
His brows furrowed, his expression a little solemn, and after a while he said calmly:
"Okay, let's go. Your Majesty has sent me the news directly. I will deal with that group of people. Forget the soul copper, but one or two imported Iwami silver is no longer negotiable! It's less.
Don't worry about me peeling off your skin every step of the way!"
The man in black immediately breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly walked away.
At this time, Master Wan, who was standing on the hill, had a look of satisfaction on his dull face. He killed more than ten people without a single blow, which disturbed the normal rest of the caravan and spread fear into everyone's heart.
The caravan's itinerary is like a gear. The more noise you make here, the greater the negative impact it will have on the entire caravan. Everything is developing in the best direction.
------- Doing the best with the least cost has always been Master Wan's motto.
However, at this moment, Master Wan's face suddenly became extremely ugly. Then, his body shook, and then a stream of blood flowed from the corner of his lips, but he was completely unaware of it.
His expression was also ferocious and twisted due to rage:
"How is it possible... How is it possible!!! My machine slaves and my hard work have completely lost contact! How could these damn idiots be so strong? Could it be that there are officials from the imperial court in that team, so
Did it cause the mechanism inside to fail?"
"Bastard, bastard! One or two imported Ishimi Silver can't make up for my losses at all. I need to contact those guys. The loss of a slave of the government is at least worth a penny of soul copper! They must pay for this loss.
Fill it in for me, as for this damn caravan, you have successfully angered me, so I must let every one of you die without a body!!"
