Chapter 1690: Split into two groups

The monsters in Taoyuan Valley do not eat people or do evil. It can even be said that they have basically never gone out.

There is a kind of beauty that has not been polluted by society.

But not all monsters are so conscientious. The situation in Taoyuan Valley is a special case.

There are many monsters that eat human hearts and livers, otherwise there would not be many similar rumors. When Yang Yiyi was a child, her parents often frightened her, saying that if she always ran into the mountains, she would be caught and eaten by monsters one day.

This is not just to scare the child. When she came out of Taoyuan Valley, Eagle Daddy specifically warned Yang Yiyi that not all monsters in this world are good, and she should be more careful when she sees monsters in the future.

It’s just that such a long time has passed, and Yang Yiyi has never encountered other monsters. At most, it’s the bird Jiufeng.

As for the monsters robbing the convoy as robbers...

This sounds very strange.

The official also knew that he was shirking responsibility by saying that there were monsters robbing the convoy, and he was afraid of being held accountable by the superiors for making up reasons.

But it’s really not a fabrication.

He hurriedly explained:

"The soldiers once captured a man and wanted to put him in jail to interrogate him, but he disappeared that night. The jail guard said he saw the man turn into a big eagle and fly away."

A demon that can turn into a human form, this...

Lei Lei said that any demon that can turn into a human form is at least level 50, because at level 50, the demon will pass the transformation calamity, and if it passes, it can obtain a human body and practice again, and if it fails, it will die and nothing will be left.

It sounds scary, a group of bandits composed of a group of demons at least level 50, it's enough to destroy a country.

But there's no need to scare yourself, transformation is not the same as turning into a human form.

Just like the demons that besieged the Lei family before, some of them also looked like humans, but that was actually a transformation spell or simply an illusion, which is fundamentally different from transformation.

In fact, if it was really a demon that had passed the transformation calamity, it wouldn't be caught and imprisoned by a few soldiers.

The monsters on Yang Yiyi's side didn't seem to have much fighting power. Li Chengxi couldn't apply what Lei Lei said to them, but it wouldn't be too far-fetched.

After all, Jiufeng's strength was there, and it would be worshipped as a god by the people of Southern Xinjiang. If there were really big monsters, they would go to Southern Xinjiang to mix in incense, wouldn't it be better than in this ghost place with ice and snow?

In short, we can't say too much now, let's see first.

When they heard about monsters, everyone's reactions were quite different.

Everyone had heard of monsters when they were young, but not many had really encountered them.

Qin Yan's face tightened obviously, and she was obviously a little nervous, while Ning Xian'er stared at the official who was talking, as if to judge whether he was talking nonsense.

Wu Shaoyi was okay, after all, she had been to Taoyuan Valley with Yang Yiyi, and felt that monsters were not rare.

As for Yang Yiyi, she was still eating and didn't care at all...

Old Eagle's reminder was still very necessary. Looking at Yang Yiyi's current state, she didn't seem to care much about the monster.

Fortunately, Zhou Yuxuan was reliable among the crowd. He pondered for a moment and asked:

"Does the monster specialize in robbing supplies sent to the front line?"

"As the young man said, ordinary people will never encounter it when passing by. Every time supplies are sent to the front line, they will be robbed every now and then."

Zhou Yuxuan nodded and said:

"I have been to the North before. There is a Tiger King Village nearby. The owner of the village is a hero. He never robs the people. He specializes in fighting the North Rangers. Maybe we can ask him for help."

"This..."

The officials looked at each other and said:

"The man who was caught before was wearing the clothes of the Tiger King Village."

Zhou Yuxuan was stunned. This shouldn't be the case.

The Sixteen Villages are very familiar with the bandits active in the Central Plains. At the very least, they will give a hand to give face when they hear the name of the Sixteen Villages.

Zhou Yuxuan had visited the Tiger King Village several times. When dealing with the Tianlang Cult two years ago, the people of the Tiger King Village helped. They were more familiar with the Tiger King Village than the Haishi Gang. They didn't seem like people who would rob cars.

"If it's not a misunderstanding, then something must have happened to the Tiger King Village."

Zhou Yuxuan pondered:

"What countermeasures do you have, sirs?"

"We have searched for the Tiger King Village, but as you can see, there are mountains nearby, and it is really hard to find it. Since you have been there, if you lead the way, you will definitely be able to settle the matter."

Zhou Yuxuan had never done this before, taking officers and soldiers to sweep the bandit camp. After all, he was also a bandit, so it was a bit strange.

But if something really happened to the Tiger King Village, it really couldn't stay, especially in the face of the national justice of dealing with the North.

However, things shouldn't be that simple.

"It's no problem to lead the way, but this matter still needs to be considered in the long run. If the monsters really rob in the name of Tiger King Village, it will be difficult to settle the matter by simply razing a village."

When Yang Yiyi heard this, she suddenly raised her head and seemed particularly interested.

Damn, you are interested in fighting, right?

–--——---——

As for what the monsters are like, we can't use the monsters in Taoyuan Valley as a reference.

Because except for the old man Eagle, the monsters in Taoyuan Valley don't have any magic skills. In fact, they look more like talking animals, not monsters.

In fact, it's more reliable to look at the style of the monsters that besieged the Lei family before.

So it's useless to simply destroy the old nest. If the monsters break up into pieces and continue to harass, it will be more troublesome than it is now.

Zhou Yuxuan expressed his willingness to help, not only for the sake of the great cause of the war in the north, but also because Zhou Yuxuan was on good terms with Tiger King Village, and he wanted to know what happened to Tiger King Village.

So Zhou Yuxuan first sent a few brothers who had been to the vicinity to investigate.

As expected, the original Tiger King Village was now deserted, without a single person.

According to the brothers who went to investigate, there were traces of fighting everywhere in Tiger King Village, and there were also many traces of arson, which obviously had experienced a war.

Judging from the age of the traces, it was at least a month ago, which is about the same time as the officials said that the monsters began to rob transport convoys.

The question is, where did the people of Tiger King Village go, and are they alive or dead?

As the saying goes, a cunning rabbit has three burrows, and the people of Tiger King Village do not have only one stronghold, but also other places to stay.

Then, the troops have to be divided into two groups.

On the one hand, we have to find out where the people of Tiger King Village went and where the monsters stayed.

On the other hand, the convoys transporting supplies must be protected. Both lines must be carried out simultaneously to settle this matter.

The people of the Sixteen Villages are not suitable to be with the government officials. After discussing countermeasures, Zhou Yuxuan led his people into the mountains, while Yang Yiyi and others followed the convoy.

The official said that only the convoys transporting supplies would be robbed, and ordinary people would be fine, even the merchants' convoys would be fine.

This is very obvious. There is an insider in the city, otherwise how would the robbers know when the transport convoy would set off?

It is certain that Tang Lianyu's arrival must have been sent out by the insider. In this case, let's use fishing enforcement.
