alone as a fairy

After entering the city gate, there were many pedestrians on the street, and all six of them dismounted from their horses. At this moment, a middle-aged man about forty years old walked up to him, and bowed to the six of them in front of the horse: "The six are students of Changfeng College? Are you going to Xining City?"

Li Yishan and the others were all surprised. The six of them came in through 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 nodded, the middle-aged man said again: "Which one is Mr. Chen Zining?"

Chen Zining was very puzzled. This person obviously didn't know him, but he was sure that he was in this group of people. He immediately replied, "I am, what do you need from me?"

The middle-aged man looked overjoyed, and said: "My servant, Qian Youcheng, is the manager of the Longping Chamber of Commerce. The six of you haven't had lunch yet. Please come to Songhe Restaurant, and we will talk while eating."

On the way to Songhe Tower, Qian Youcheng said with a smile: "You don't have to be surprised. The six of you are all martial masters at a young age. There are only a few places in the south that can gather so many talents. I am here. At the gate of the city, I saw a red eagle hovering above the heads of the six, and I was thinking that Mr. Chen Zining, who was the tenth in the "Nayun List", had also come here, so I guessed that the six were students from Changfeng College .”

Chen Zining was amazed now. He never expected that a person could recognize him from thousands of miles away by looking at the red eagle in the sky. It seems that he is famous now.

When we arrived at Songhe Tower, Qian Youcheng entered a box with Qian Youcheng as the host. Before the six people asked each other, Qian Youcheng said again: "Our caravan will also go to Xining City in the afternoon, and we specially invite six people to go with us. After Xining City, each of them will give five hundred gold coins as a reward, what do you think the six will do?"

Chen Zining and the other six people looked at each other. If it was an ordinary chamber of commerce, the six people would have rejected it a long time ago. With a journey of more than 200 miles, the six people would be able to reach Xining City in the evening. If they followed the caravan, they would have to rest on the way. Evening, it will not be reached until tomorrow afternoon. Although [-] gold coins are a lot, it is nothing to the six people rushing to Aurora Peak.

However, the Longping Chamber of Commerce is not simple. It is one of the top ten chambers of commerce in the mainland. will be comparable.

None of the six people wanted to miss such an opportunity to make friends with the Longping Chamber of Commerce, and Chen Zining also knew that when the Chen Family Chamber of Commerce was established, the branch of the Longping Chamber of Commerce in Tsinghua City also gave a big gift.

Li Yishan asked: "Manager Qian, but there is an accident ahead?"

With the size of the Longping Chamber of Commerce, it has its own huge guard strength. Usually, it doesn't even invite mercenaries, let alone guard at the gate of the city. When it sees a few young martial artists, they approach them. The unexpected situation of the chamber of commerce made this high-ranking martial arts steward run to the gate of the city to try his luck.

Qian Youcheng nodded, and explained the cause of the incident. Only then did the six people understand what happened. About a hundred miles ahead, since yesterday, three caravans have been murdered 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 way nor a horse thief who robbed, but a group of vampire bats. At the scene of the incident, all the people were sucked dry of their blood and turned into mummies. When the inspectors came back, they all said it was horrible.

Qian Youcheng finally said: "There are more than 100 people in our Longping caravan this time, four of whom are warrior-level, and the rest are high-level warriors, stronger than any of these three caravans, but we don't know How many vampire bats are there? Can they handle it? So I have to guard the gate of the city to see if there are any people who are going to Xining City together. They will walk together on the road and increase their strength. I have already discussed with the other six caravans in the town. Alright, let's leave on time at two o'clock in the afternoon."

Speaking of this, he paused and said to Chen Zining: "Mr. Chen, I heard that you are a beast master. I wonder if you can deal with this kind of vampire bat?"

Chen Zining said: "If this is the case, it is not difficult to deal with them, but I am very surprised, vampire bats have always only lived in the original ancient forest, that place is tens of thousands of miles away from here, how could it appear here?"

Chen Zining thought for a while and asked Qian Youcheng, "What wounds did those corpses have? And what was their expression before they died?"

Qian Youcheng said: "The person who came back said that there were indeed two puncture wounds on the corpse, and the expression on his face was very painful, as if he had been greatly tortured. He also found some corpses of vampire bats."

After hearing this, Chen Zining was silent for a while and said, "Vampire bats have two fangs, about two inches in length, which are easy to distinguish. When we get to the scene, let's go and have a look, maybe we can find some clues."

When they set off in the afternoon, there were more than 500 people in seven caravans. Chen Zining and other six people walked in the front. Although the group was a little nervous, the journey was uneventful and nothing unexpected happened.

At 30 o'clock in the evening, the team passed the first crime scene, which was a campsite, and more than [-] sergeants dressed in city guard uniforms were already guarding here. Chen Zining, Li Yishan and others, as well as Qian Youcheng and others The leader of the caravan negotiated with these sergeants before walking in and carefully inspecting the nearly [-] corpses that were still left in place.

The scene was well protected, and the corpses had not been moved. Chen Zining found that the goods of the caravan were intact. He searched some corpses and found that all the money and belongings on them were still there. The puncture wound, two inches deep, appeared to be the work of a vampire bat.

Due to the loss of blood, all the dead had pale skin, widened their eyes, opened their mouths, their faces were terrified, and their limbs were twisted. It was obvious that there was a painful struggle before death, which made the viewers feel a creepy feeling.

One-third of these corpses are still in the tent, as if they were killed by vampire bats in their sleep; one-third had weapons in their hands, obviously after a fight; They were scattered around the camp, all of them turned their backs to the camp, they were chased by someone while escaping, and the blood in their bodies was sucked dry.

There were more than a dozen corpses of vampire bats at the scene. These monsters had a wingspan of more than one foot and a height of about four feet. They had protruding fangs and were very ferocious. What surprised Chen Zining was that such a body shape was obviously bigger than that in some books. A much larger description is recorded of this object.

What's even more strange is that the reason why vampire bats are difficult to deal with is because of their large number. They are always in groups and fast. Most of the people surrounded by them cannot escape death. It is difficult for vampire bats to produce spirit beasts. A warrior holding a weapon one-on-one, or a few people working together can easily kill a bat. It is impossible to only have a dozen corpses of vampire bats on the scene.

Yue Ling was not afraid of blood, nor was she afraid of corpses. Instead, she felt chills all over her body when she saw this strange scene where no blood could be seen. She asked, "What did you see?"
