When I entered the city gate, I saw that there were more pedestrians on the street and all six people got off the horse. At this moment, a middle-aged man in his forties walked towards me and bowed to the six people in front of me:
"Six students from Changfeng College are you going to Xining City?"
Li Yishan and others were surprised. Six of them came in from the North City Gate. The next stop must be Xining City. Anyone can guess this, but it is a bit strange to guess that they are students of Changfeng College.
.
Seeing Li Yishan nodding, the middle-aged man said again: "I wonder which one is Mr. Chen Zining?"
Chen Zining was very puzzled. This man obviously didn't know him, but he was sure that he was among the people in this group and replied immediately: "I am, are you asking me for trouble?"
The middle-aged man looked overjoyed and said, "I'm here to stay, Qian Youcheng, is the manager of the Longping Chamber of Commerce. The six of them have not had lunch yet. Please come to Songhe Restaurant. Let's have a chat while eating."
On the way to Songhe Tower, Qian Youcheng smiled and said, "It's not surprising that the six of them are all at the age of martial arts. There are only a few places in the south that can gather so many talents. I'm here
I saw a red eagle circling over the heads of six people at the city gate. I was thinking that Chen Zining, the tenth-ranked student of "Go to the Cloud List", also came here, so I guessed that the six people were students from Changfeng College.
.”
Chen Zining was surprised now. He never expected that a person could recognize his identity through the Red Eagle in the sky thousands of miles away. It seemed that he was famous now.
When we arrived at Songhe Tower, Qian Youcheng was the hostel. He entered a private room and before six people asked, Qian Youcheng said again: "Our caravan will also go to Xining City in the afternoon, and invite six colleagues to arrive.
After Xining City, each person gave him five hundred gold coins as a reward. I wonder what the six people meant?"
Chen Zining and six others looked at each other. If it were an ordinary chamber of commerce, the six would have refused. The journey of more than 200 miles, six people would be rushing to Xining City in the evening. If you follow the caravan, you must rest halfway.
It will not be reached in one night until tomorrow afternoon. Although there are a lot of five hundred gold coins, it is nothing to the six people rushing to the Aurora Top.
However, the Longping Chamber of Commerce is not simple. It is one of the top ten chambers of commerce in mainland China. Its forces are spread across the seven countries of China and China, and can extend to the East China Sea, the Western Regions, the Southern Wilderness and the Northern Yuan. It is not just the Qinghe Chamber of Commerce with some forces in the south of the Shengtang Kingdom.
Will be comparable.
The six people didn't want to miss this opportunity to be intimate with the Longping Chamber of Commerce. Moreover, Chen Zining also knew that when the Chen Chamber of Commerce was established, the Longping Chamber of Commerce also gave a big gift in the branch of the Tsinghua City.
Li Yishan asked, "Maintain Qian, but an accident happened ahead?"
With the scale of the Longping Chamber of Commerce, it has its own huge guard strength. It usually doesn't even invite mercenaries, let alone guard the city gate. When I saw a few young martial artists, I stepped forward and got close. It must be that Longping happened in front of me.
The unexpected situation of the Chamber of Commerce made this high-level martial arts manager run to the city gate to try his luck.
Qian Youcheng nodded and told the reason. Only then did the six people understand what happened. They were about a hundred miles ahead. Since yesterday, three caravans have been injured while camping at night.
, It can be said that the entire army was wiped out and no one escaped.
The murderer was neither a bandit blocking the road nor a horse thief robbery, but a group of vampire bats. At the scene of the incident, everyone was sucked out of their blood and turned into mummies. They went to investigate afterwards
The people who visited the scene said they were terrible when they came back.
Qian Youcheng finally said: "There are more than 100 people who set out in Longping Caravan this time, four of them at the martial arts level, and the others are also high-level warriors, which are stronger than any of these three caravans, but we don't know.
How many vampire bats are there and whether they can handle them, so I have to guard the city gate to see if there are any people who go to Xining City together, travel together on the road and increase their strength. I have already joined the other six shopping teams in the town.
We have agreed and leave on time at 2:00 pm.”
Speaking of this, he paused and said to Chen Zining: "Young Master Chen, I heard that you are a beastmaster. I wonder if you can deal with such vampire bats?"
Chen Zining said: "If it is such a thing, it is not difficult to deal with them, but I am very surprised that vampire bats have always lived only in the ancient forest. That place is tens of thousands of miles away from here. How could it be here?"
Chen Zining thought for a while and asked Qian Youcheng: "What are the wounds in those corpses? And what are their expressions before they die?"
Qian Youcheng said: "The person who came back said that there were indeed two puncture wounds on the corpse, and the expression on the face was very painful, as if he had suffered great torture, and some corpses of vampire bats were found."
After hearing this, Chen Zining said in silence for a while: "The vampire bat has two fangs, about two inches long, which is easy to distinguish. When we arrive at the scene, we will go and take a look. Maybe we can find some clues."
When we set off in the afternoon, the seven caravans combined, with more than 500 people. Chen Zining and six others walked in the front. Although the group was a little worried, the road was calm and nothing unexpected happened.
By 6 p.m., the team passed the first crime scene. This was a campsite where more than 30 soldiers wearing city guard uniforms were guarding here, including Chen Zining, Li Yishan and others, as well as Qian Youcheng.
After the caravan leader negotiated with the sergeants, he walked in and carefully investigated the nearly 100 bodies still left on the spot.
The scene was well protected, and the body had not been moved. Chen Zining found that the caravan's goods were intact. He searched for some corpses and found that the money and things on his body were still there, and there were two on the corpse, especially the torso.
The punctual wound, two inches deep, seems to be caused by vampire bats.
Due to blood loss, all the dead were pale, their eyes widened, their mouths opened, their expressions were very scared, and their limbs were twisted. Obviously, there was a painful struggle before their death, which made the person who was checking out also feel a creepy feeling.
One third of these corpses were still in the tent, as if they were killed by vampire bats during sleep; one third had weapons in their hands, obviously after a fight; one third had another.
They were scattered around the camp, all facing the camp, and were caught up while escaping, and the blood in their bodies was sucked dry.
There were more than a dozen corpses of vampire bats at the scene. The monsters had a wingspan of more than 1 meter long, and their height was about four feet. They had a prominent fangs and were very ferocious. What made Chen Zining a little strange was that this body shape was obviously better than in some books.
The description of this object is much larger.
What's even more strange is that the reason why vampire bats are difficult to deal with is that they are numerous and have always been in groups and are fast. Most of the people surrounded by them cannot escape death, but in individual terms, except for the leader,
It is difficult for vampire bats to produce spirit beasts. A warrior can easily kill a bat by holding weapons in his hand, or by cooperating with a few people. It is impossible for only a dozen vampire bats to be corpses on the scene.
Yue Ling was not afraid of blood or corpses. Instead, she felt a little cold in her body when she could not see the strange scene where blood was not visible. She asked, "What did you see?"
