She turned around and asked He Lingchuan: "Where is that monster?"
"A patrol heard the sound and came after me, saying that he would turn it in on my behalf." He Lingchuan sighed, "Now that I think about it, that person is very problematic."
"what is the problem?"
"When he gets close, the monster I caught stops screaming."
Sun Fuling didn't even raise her head: "Maybe it's just a coincidence."
"I hope so." He Lingchuan scratched his head, "But I don't understand why these monsters always come here?"
"here?"
"Look, we alone encountered three monsters and caught two of them; and the whole city only caught six monsters in total." Panlong City is so big, why don't the monsters go elsewhere?
Sun Fuling thought for a while: "Could their nest be nearby?"
"Perhaps." He Lingchuan also considered this, "Sparrow Eagle just said that the pharmacist called by Commander Zhong believes that these monsters are all in the infancy stage. Judging from the bone age, they have not even been born yet at this stage."
"And I just smelled a strange salty smell on the monster. It was wet and sticky, a bit like..." He Lingchuan had a strange expression.
"like what?"
He Lingchuan hesitated, he really didn't want to say that word.
"Amniotic fluid?" Sun Fuling asked openly.
He Lingchuan could only say: "I guessed it."
"If the most qualified pharmacists say that they are unborn babies." Sun Fuling carefully fed the sparrow eagle meat, "then your guess is very reasonable."
"In other words, they have such strong fighting power when they are born?"
This goes against biological common sense. Although some animals can hunt and survive on their own right after birth, such as crocodiles, the young are relatively weak and can even be eaten by others.
"Strength and weakness are all relative." Sun Fuling analyzed, "Perhaps compared to adult parents, they are already considered weak."
When a giant whale calf is born, it is more than one foot long and weighs tens of thousands of kilograms. Isn't it common for a giant whale calf to hit a person?
In other words, the prey of these monster larvae - humans, is too weak compared to them.
"Then we have to catch them early." Otherwise, Panlong City will suffer a disaster. "No wonder San...no wonder it's hard to catch them no matter how carefully you search them. Where can you find unborn things?"
No wonder the Three Corpse Insects can't find these monsters, they are all hidden in the mother's body!
The Three Corpse Insects only have seven orifices to burrow through. It's amazing how can they get into the mother's belly to inspect the fetus if there are one more orifices?
"Huh? Wait!" He Lingchuan was startled and suddenly felt something was wrong.
"how?"
"Well..." Since the Three Corpse Insects could discover their mother body, why didn't they alert the owner of the square pot?
Is the monster's mother... not a monster?
This time Sun Fuling also finished feeding the dried meat: "You can find the mother."
"..." She hit the nail on the head.
"After so many days, every corner of Panlong City has been searched several times, but there is nothing there." Sun Fuling said matter-of-factly, "Then it must have been hidden by someone."
"Yes." What He Lingchuan thought was that the senior officials of Panlong City knew more about the magical effects of the Three Corpse Insects than he did. They must have already inferred that the monster's "mother" might be a human.
I just eat carrots and don't worry about it.
"The question is, why do these monsters sneak into the city?" He Lingchuan boiled some water while raising the fire, and Sun Fuling poured a bowl of hot water and placed it next to Sparrow Eagle. "Panlong City is very unfriendly to illegal intruders."
Friendly, what kind of monster is willing to risk death to come in?"
He Lingchuan exhaled: "After all, the information available is too little."
The information is insufficient and difficult to analyze, and most of it depends on guesswork.
"So, people like you and me who eat cabbage, why should we worry about those who eat meat?" Sun Fuling said leisurely, "Okay, I'm going back to take a bath, so don't come over to borrow anything for now."
He Lingchuan's old face turned red: "Do you want saponins? I have them."
Sun Fuling chuckled lightly and was about to walk out. Suddenly she remembered something: "By the way, today is Panlong City's Heavenly Sacrifice Day, and Mr. Wen Daolun will be the officiator. Do you want to come with us? Maybe there will be a chance to ask Wen Daolun to clarify the doubts."
."
Wen Daolun? He Lingchuan thought for a while and then remembered that this seemed to be the counselor beside Commander Zhong. It was said that he was also proficient in divination. "Yes, of course!"
Then he asked: "What is the Heavenly Festival?"
Sun Fuling stared at him steadily.
He Lingchuan touched his nose and said, "I'm not from Panlong City originally." I didn't understand their ancient customs.
"On this day three years ago, Commander Zhong sacrificed his only daughter to the gods in exchange for the gods' overwhelming attention, so that Panlong City can continue to this day." Sun Fuling said slowly, "Panlong City has only held one human sacrifice.
, the flesh and blood of Mr. Zhong’s closest relatives are still used. The citizens of the city are so impressed that they will go to worship on this day every year. Starting from this year, Panlong City will designate this day as the Heavenly Sacrifice Day.”
"Since I have to go to worship." He Lingchuan thought for a moment, "I'll buy some flowers and fruits."
"Where did the flowers come from in this weather?" Sun Fuling laughed, "I've already bought the fruit cakes."
…
An hour later, the two set off in a donkey cart.
The whole journey was speechless.
He Lingchuan didn't say a word, and Sun Fuling didn't speak either. They just drove and rolled.
However, her presence is very strong.
Sun Fuling had already changed her clothes, her wet hair had dried early, and the dark clouds were fluffy, exuding an aroma similar to that of pine wood, which was fresh, neutral, and pleasant. He Lingchuan closed his eyes and felt that he was in the forest again.
He had only heard that girls like to bathe in the scent of flowers, and this one was a bit special.
The donkey cart was very small, so the two of them had to sit next to each other. Sun Fuling held her chin and looked out, and He Lingchuan could get close to her slender neck as soon as he turned his head.
Her skin is thin and white, and the light blue blood vessels underneath are faintly visible.
No matter how you look at it, this is a young woman in her prime.
He Lingchuan couldn't help but think of all the doubts about her, and finally broke the silence:
"By the way, have you been out to play these days?"
"I was out of town a few days ago. Yesterday I went to my brother's house to clean the house." Sun Fuling sighed, "Although it is a mud house, it may be taken back."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Yes, accommodation in Panlong City has always been very tight. Except for luxury houses, other houses are designated by the city. In theory, everyone
They are all residents. When residents like Sun Jiayuan die, the government will take back the house and distribute it to people in need.
"Bringing his things back?"
"He has nothing." Death is like a lamp going out, leaving no trace in the world.
There was another moment of silence, as if they had chatted to death.
However, there were doubts in his mind, and finally one emerged out of nowhere:
"Miss Sun, are you also a practicing master?"
"Well, that's right." Sun Fuling turned to look at him, as if a little surprised, "I have learned magical powers, practiced kung fu hard, and been a patrolman, and almost joined the Gale Army."
She paused and then said: "In Panlong City, there are many women who practice martial arts, and there is no shortage of them in the patrols and the Gale Army. Many of the girls I have taught aim to join the Gale Army when they grow up.
"
He Lingchuan thought of his teammate Liu Tiao. She was even more tough than men. Panlong City must mobilize the entire city to resist foreign aggression, and it will last for more than ten years. As long as they can defend their homes and cities, women will also have to go to the battlefield.
.
"But you're going to teach again later?"
"I was seriously injured in the battle, and my brother persuaded me to give up martial arts and pursue literature. It happened that Shulin Academy was recruiting lecturers, and the salary was favorable, so I..." She tapped her temples, "It's important to kill the enemy in battle, but it's also good to cultivate future warriors.
." She said softly, "Even if the environment in Panlong Wasteland is not good, I think Panlong City still has a future."
As long as people and hope exist, this place will have a future.
At least, there are still seventeen years.
He Lingchuan knew that the average life expectancy of people in the Yuan Kingdom was only around thirty years, and these seventeen years were already half a lifetime for most civilians.
