This side effect is awesome

For those more expensive medicinal materials, Hao Jiyong did it himself, not letting others touch the slightest bit, lest there be any damage.

While Hao Jiyong organized people to move the food and medicinal materials, Song Ankang was nearby, carefully observing every inch of the warehouse.

There is no other reason for being so sure. Song Ankang did find something unusual.

This abnormality is the traces of aura lingering on the breath-keeping grass. According to the memory of the original owner, this aura should belong to some kind of monster.

Since there are monsters invading, there must be traces left, but now there are no traces, so there is only one truth, that is, the traces are suppressed by the food and medicinal materials, and the food and medicinal materials need to be removed to be seen.

The monster that invaded the warehouse was obviously quite careful, and it didn't leave any traces anywhere else, especially around the missing medicinal materials, except for that trace of abnormal aura, there was nothing else left behind.

It's just kind of incredible!

Under normal circumstances, a ninth-grade monster like this would not be too intelligent, and would always leave a lot of clues when doing things, so that humans could easily know who did these things through these clues.

But this monster is very powerful, and it seems to be deliberately covering up its own traces. Normally, a monster with such intelligence will not be too weak in strength.

Thinking of this, Song Ankang thought of the feeling of something wrong when he just entered the warehouse. Although the feeling of something wrong is gone now, the sense of danger in that feeling is still lingering.

It seems that as long as you are not careful, you may be swallowed by the monster hidden in the dark.

There is also a trace of breath left on the breath-keeping grass, which definitely belongs to demons. Song Ankang's complexion also became dignified when he thought of the horrible scene when earthworms swallowed people.

Fortunately, his spiritual will is far superior to that of ordinary people, otherwise he would not be able to perceive this kind of abnormality and monster aura at all. If he probed in the warehouse in a daze and was discovered by the monster hiding in the dark, he would be in danger. .

The two times when I felt something was wrong, it should be the time when the monster was in the warehouse. When the feeling of something wrong disappeared, the monster should have left.

Song Ankang focused on observing the open space for food and medicinal materials, and wanted to find clues in these places. Jiang Yunhe also saw something, frowned slightly, and followed Song Ankang to observe these places.

Some tenants in the farm who had finished their farm work got the news and came to the surrounding area to watch and help, and low voices of discussion sounded around.

"Did monsters really enter the warehouse? But the inside and outside of the warehouse are covered with extremely hard green stones. How could monsters enter the warehouse?"

"If a monster really entered the warehouse, it would definitely leave clues. Now, even Coach Jiang can't find any clues. How could it be a monster? The owner made a mistake again."

"I said earlier that the owner of the village is an outsider. Although he is a first-class person and the most filial son in Kyoto, he has never grown food and medicinal materials. How can he understand this? It's all messing around."

"After this incident, the owner of the Song Dynasty has completely brought himself in. If the murderer is not found, the family high-level will definitely punish him. I hope that we can replace us with a capable owner."

……

No one is optimistic about Song Ankang's actions. Some people think that Song Ankang is putting all his eggs in one basket and wants to save his face and dignity.

Liu Yuanqing smiled and put his hands behind his back, watching Hao Jiyong and others carrying food and medicinal materials, secretly laughing at Song Ankang for asking for trouble and death, for a matter that had little to do with him, but he had to force his way out, it's all right now.

But this is a great thing for me. If Song Ankang hadn't forced Hao Jiyong to stand up for Hao Jiyong, he would still be the first person responsible for the warehouse theft. Hao Jiyong and Song Ankang are both good people.

As the food and medicinal materials were carried out little by little, more and more open spaces appeared in the warehouse, and many covered places were exposed, but there were no traces of demon invasion.

There are no caves, no cracks, no traces of demons... So more and more people began to dislike Song Ankang's judgment, and their gazes at him became strange.

Hao Jiyong's face also slowly turned pale, but he still took advantage of the gap to come to Song Ankang's side, and said solemnly: "Master, don't worry, the villain will not let this matter affect Mr. Zhuang."

Seeing the resolute look on Hao Jiyong's face, Song Ankang faintly realized something, waved his hands and said, "Don't worry, I will find the problem."

After speaking, Song Ankang found a hard wooden stick from nearby, and began to beat on the floor of the warehouse, especially the newly vacated space.

"Dangdang...dangdang..."

Chapter 024 The Warehouse Theft Case Solved

Seeing Song Ankang's actions, Qiu Shi was taken aback for a moment, then quickly took a hard wooden stick and beat on the ground.

Jiang Yunhe also silently took a hard wooden stick and started beating around, followed by Hao Jiyong's wife and children who had been following around...

A few people silently held hard wooden sticks and beat every inch of the Qinggang stone ground, trying to find something abnormal.

Hao Jiyong tried his best to carry the food and medicinal materials, trying not to cause any damage.

Seeing this picture, some tenants who were talking about Song Ankang and Hao Jiyong, who were not optimistic about them, were stunned. Immediately, some tenants also took hard wooden sticks and helped them beat the ground together.

If possible, these tenants hope that Song Ankang can prove that the thief is not Hao Jiyong. After all, Hao Jiyong is a righteous and honest man who has helped many people over the years.

Moreover, in this terrifying world where aliens invaded and monsters ravaged, the human race became more united than ever before, from the entire Xia Kingdom human race down to individual villages, farms, and families...

Because only with unity can the human race survive!

If Hao Jiyong is not a thief, then it would be great, if so, people will not show mercy, because if Hao Jiyong really stole those precious medicinal materials, he would be driving everyone to a dead end.

According to the past practice, some of those precious medicinal materials will be used to fill the tax deficit this year, so that the tenants can leave more food, which is life-saving food.

Not to mention Hao Jiyong, even if Liu Yuanqing, Wang Steward, and even Song Ankang, the landlord, did such a thing, they would be punished by the tenants.

More and more people joined the ranks of beating and beating, until Hao Jiyong's wife beat a hard wooden stick on a piece of Qinggang stone: "Boom..."

The dull voice changed the expressions of Jiang Yunhe and Song Ankang, and they looked at Hao Jiyong's wife almost at the same time.

"There is something wrong with this Qinggang stone!"

Jiang Yunhe jumped up and landed beside Hao Jiyong's wife.

Song Ankang also walked over quickly, holding a hard wooden stick that looked like an iron rod and knocking on it: "Boom boom boom..."

While knocking and observing carefully, it was only after a while that there was an abnormality. A piece at the corner of this Qinggang stone was clearly active.

Song Ankang used a tool to pry out a cave that was dug along the gaps between the Qinggang stones, because the lid of the cave was along the gaps between the Qinggang stones, and the other part was dug out. It was smaller than the gap between the stones. Song Ankang and Jiang Yunhe also passed by here several times before, but they didn't find anything unusual.

On the other hand, it is also because the warehouse has been used for a long time, the green gang stone on the ground is covered with a layer of stains, and the lid of the cave is only the size of a fist, so it is difficult to be found.

If it weren't for hitting with a hard wooden stick like an iron bar, I'm afraid this small cave would be hard to find.

Looking at the cave that was so deep that he didn't know where it led, after a moment of silence, the surroundings suddenly became noisy.

"There is actually a cave dug out by a monster here, and after the monster dug it, it actually left a cover behind. No wonder it's so hard to find."

"Is the demon's intelligence so powerful? It's like becoming a spirit. The cool-leaf grass that was piled up on this piece of ground before didn't dare to move it easily. The demon wouldn't even know this, right?"

"It's unbelievable that such a powerful monster is actually staring at the storeroom of our Chaoyun Farm. If the owner of the village didn't know the details, when would we find out."

"Hao Jiyong was indeed wronged, but if there is no owner, who would be able to find such traces, what should we do now, how to deal with this monster."

"If the owner of the villa hadn't discovered this monster, we would lose many precious medicinal materials in the warehouse. I am afraid that most of the tenants will not be able to survive this year. Thank you, the owner of the village."

……

The tenants are simple and honest. After finding out that they had wronged Song Ankang and Hao Jiyong, they immediately apologized in shame, and at the same time saluted Song Ankang, thanking him for solving the warehouse theft case, so that more tenants in Chaoyun Grange can survive.

In particular, the discovery of this huge hidden danger will undoubtedly avoid the loss of more precious medicinal materials in the warehouse in the future, and may also avoid some bloodshed.

Basically all the tenants are grateful to Song Ankang, and Hao Jiyong's family is even crying, celebrating that the family has been cleared of their grievances. Perhaps the only unhappy one is Liu Yuanqing.

The discovery of the demon cave undoubtedly proved that Song Ankang was right, but he was completely wrong, and he almost killed Hao Jiyong unjustly.

Even knowing that what Hao Jimeng said was not true, he still wanted to beat him into a trick to reduce his responsibility as much as possible, and his every move was extremely selfish, and he never cared about Song Ankang, the new owner.

Now all the truth is revealed, not to mention that Song Ankang will not let him go, even the top family members will not let him go.

Now he is the main person responsible, and he is the kind who keeps making mistakes again and again.

When the cheers came to an end, Song Ankang looked at Jiang Yunhe.

Jiang Yunhe understood what Song Ankang meant, and said with a smile: "I have already sensed the breath in the cave, it should be some kind of monster, but I'm not sure what kind of monster it is."

"However, although this monster has amazing intelligence, its strength is not strong. It should not exceed the fourth level of external training. It is not difficult to deal with it. I also have a ground cage talisman here, which is comparable to the fourth level of internal training. Beasts can be captured alive, just enough to deal with this monster."

"Then I will trouble Coach Jiang." Song Ankang nodded and looked at Hao Jiyong and the others: "But for the sake of safety, please return the food and medicinal materials to their original places. You have also seen the spirit and wisdom of this monster. If you find something abnormal in the warehouse, I'm afraid you won't be fooled."

Hao Jiyong was the first to nod: "Okay, don't worry, Mr. Zhuangzhu, we will recover soon, and this is something we have to do sooner or later."

Song Ankang nodded, watching all the warehouse staff and tenants enthusiastically moving all the food and medicinal materials back to their original positions, and Jiang Yunhe also arranged the ground cage amulet at the exit of the cave.

After all this was done, it was completely dark. Looking at Liu Yuanqing who had been standing blankly at the door of the warehouse, Song Ankang frowned: "Liu Yuanqing, you will no longer be the steward of the warehouse, Hao Jiyong will be the steward of the warehouse in the future." , if you have any opinions, you can go to the family to appeal."

"I..." Liu Yuanqing opened his mouth, but still bowed his head and said, "I have no objection, and I'll just listen to the master."

Seeing that Liu Yuanqing was quite acquainted, Song Ankang didn't deal with him anymore, and ordered the tenants to go back. He took Qiu Shi, Jiang Yunhe, Hao Jiyong and several capable warehouse workers to guard around, waiting for the monster to appear .

Chapter 025 Don't Slap Your Face

Since the theft of the warehouse, a lot of people have been arranged to patrol inside and outside the warehouse for several days, so the monster has never found a chance to steal some precious medicinal materials.

Although its strength may have surpassed all the warehouse guys, but with its wisdom and prudence, it is afraid that it will not act rashly in this case, lest it be discovered.

It is precisely because of this that the warehouse has been safe and sound for the past few days, and more people have begun to doubt Hao Jiyong.

Thinking of the spiritual wisdom of that monster, Song Ankang couldn't help sighing that he had such an astonishing spiritual wisdom before he was in the realm of inner training. When it continues to improve, it may be possible to break through the first-class warrior in the future.

In order to avoid the suspicion of the monster, Song Ankang did not evacuate all the patrol personnel inside and outside the warehouse, but left a few, pretending to walk around, basically patrolling the door and surroundings of the warehouse, rarely Enter the warehouse.

Doing so is naturally giving the monster ample opportunity to take advantage of it.

Song Ankang was already mentally prepared to fight a protracted war, but perhaps because he hadn't eaten the precious medicinal materials for several days, the monster was also a little greedy, so it came to the warehouse quietly at midnight that night, Following the hole dug long ago, it appeared under the warehouse, and opened the hole cover that remained the same.

"Kuuuu..."

Accompanied by the sound triggered by the ground cage talisman, only the low-rank monsters of the ninth rank were directly bound by the ground cage talisman, and could no longer move.

"Whoa, whoa..."

Being bound up all of a sudden, the monster couldn't help but make a shrill sound, but Song Ankang was a little stunned by the sound.

Could it be that such a beautiful voice is a fox demon that can turn into a charming woman?

Song Ankang speeded up, Jiang Yunhe followed, Qiu Shi, Hao Jiyong and others followed closely behind. They rushed towards the warehouse like a strong wind, and soon the cool leaf grass was blown up. monster.

He has a flat head, a thick body, about a foot long, and his whole body is gray-black. There is a clenched green hair fluttering in the wind on his head. He is staring at Song Ankang fiercely with his black eyes wide open, and utters an arrogant cry: "Hey!" Boom..."

"This... what kind of monster is this? Why have I never seen it or heard of it." Qiu Shi stared at the flat-headed monster curiously with widened bright eyes.

Jiang Yunhe also frowned: "I have never seen such a monster before, it seems to be an extremely rare monster."

Song Ankang's eyes showed surprise, and he smiled and said, "If I'm not wrong, this should be a ground badger. It is said that it is a kind of monster that only appears in the Kunlun Mountains, and rarely appears in our Xia Kingdom. , I don’t know why there is one here, maybe it was brought over by someone.”

There is another crucial point that Song Ankang didn't say, that is, this badger is still a cub, and has a high probability of being tamed.

Badgers generally have the strength of a first-class warrior when they are adults, and some with relatively strong talents and aptitudes can transcend first-rate warriors and become real monsters.

In the Xuanhuang Continent, those monsters whose strength is not surpassed by first-class warriors are generally not qualified to be called monsters, and can only be called ferocious beasts.

This ground badger cub is a lower-rank beast of the ninth rank, but it has the possibility of breaking through the ninth rank. The ground badger usually judges its talent by the level of intelligence.

To be able to possess such an astonishing intelligence when it was a cub, it is conceivable that this ground badger has a high level of talent and aptitude, and in the future it will definitely be able to break through the first-class and step into the extraordinary realm.

If it can be tamed, it will definitely be Song Ankang's right-hand man in the future.

Compared to this precious ground badger cub, those dozens of herbs are nothing.

However, in order to avoid being known about this matter and arouse the jealousy of some people, Song Ankang did not say too much, and waited until he tamed the ground badger before considering whether to speak out.

"A ground badger?"

Jiang Yunhe, Qiu Shi and the others looked blank, apparently they had never heard of it.

Song Ankang smiled and picked up the ground badger that was bound layer by layer: "I told you to read more and you still think it's a waste of time. Now you know your ignorance."

"I took this ground badger away, and I want to use it to do something. You can look for the ground badger's lair through this hole, and see if there are any precious medicinal materials left in it, but I think it is unlikely, Those medicinal materials should have been eaten by it, otherwise it would not come to the warehouse to steal medicinal materials again."

While speaking, Song Ankang hurriedly left the warehouse and walked towards the practice room. He couldn't wait to tame this amazingly valuable ground badger.

Seeing Song Ankang leaving quickly, Qiu Shi and Jiang Yunhe felt strange, but they didn't think much about it, let alone Song Ankang wanted to tame this beast.

The black iron stone that is harder than Qinggang stone is arranged inside and outside the practice room, and it is harder than ordinary steel. Even with the ground badger's burrowing ability, it will take a lot of time to escape. Song Ankang can tame it well there. .

On the way, Song Ankang carefully sensed the strength of the ground badger. Song Ankang was surprised to find that the strength of this ground badger had reached the peak of the ninth-rank lower-level beast, and he was only half a step away from entering the ranks of the ninth-rank middle-rank beast. At that time, the strength of this ground badger will be able to stand up to the warriors in the inner realm.

You must know that this ground badger is only a cub, and it should have been born only about a month ago. It already possesses such amazing strength and intelligence. If it grows up, it will definitely be able to surpass first-class fighters. Even a higher realm.

As expected of a strange beast from Kunlun Mountain, its talent and aptitude far surpassed Song Ankang's imagination.

This made Song Ankang more and more tempted by it. He speeded up to enter the practice room, locked the door, and then opened the shackles of the ground cage talisman. He was going to educate this ground badger well and tame it well through strong means. .

There is only one best way to tame the badger cub, and that is to face it head-on and forcefully suppress it, to completely subdue the badger cub with iron and blood, so that it will not dare to betray it for the rest of its life.

Come on, my quasi-pet beast!

"Boom boom boom boom..."

But what Song Ankang never expected was that the ground badger cub, which had been tied up for a long time, rushed out immediately after he opened the ground cage talisman, and then jumped up, clenching small fists on its two front legs like a human. , "嘤嘤" yelled and blasted at Song Ankang.

"Bang bang bang bang bang..."

Before Song Ankang realized what was going on, he was slammed into the face by the two small fists of the ground badger cub, six, six, and 36 times in one blow!

This is a gifted martial skill!
