Five years of collapse and three years of simulation

Chapter 120
"Where?"

Seeing that the four were silent, Han Jiang continued to ask.

The gray-clothed man who took the lead froze for a moment and said, "Brother, are you really going to hunt down ferocious beasts?"

Han Jiang asked back: "Otherwise?"

One sentence silenced the four of them again, and they guessed in their hearts whether the man was really confident or just stunned.

"I heard what you just said. If I'm not mistaken, Zhao Guo has already named this beast. Is it... Qiongqi?" Han Jiang continued to ask.

The man in gray was shocked, and the other three had doubts on their faces.

The eldest cousin of the gray-clothed man is the centurion of Zhao Guo, who has participated in the crusade against fierce beasts three times.

The number of people increased every time, and each time they lost dozens of lives before narrowly escaping.

Qiongqi's name was also decided after many discussions after returning from the latest escape.

The eldest cousin just mentioned in the letter, telling him not to spread the word, who is this man in front of him.

The man in gray shook his head, "I don't know what it's called, but you can probably find it twenty miles east of the county town."

"The ferocious beast is as big as a mountain bag. It is said that it is several times bigger than this restaurant. Do you really want to go, brother?"

"You guys settled the bill, right?" Han Jiang asked suddenly.

The man in gray nodded, not knowing what Han Jiang meant. Could it be that who will pay the bill is what he cares most about?
"Let's go, let's go and see Qiongqi." Han Jiang said to Xiao Yun, and the two walked out of the restaurant.

The two bought two horses in the city and inquired about Qiongqi by the way.

Some shops in the city have been closed, and there are scattered ones that are open, but there are still a lot of people.

After inquiring, I found out that since I heard that Qiongqi is not far from the county town, some merchants have already packed up their clothes and ran away.

But the city lord's mansion released news again, saying that the immortals from Mount Taixu happened to travel here, so don't be afraid.

Some merchants didn't believe what the City Lord's Mansion said, so they left as soon as they had to.

Some opened the door with a wait-and-see attitude, at worst, they would wait until the city defense army stopped the monster before running.

Because of the news that the immortal was coming, the number of people in the county continued to increase.

Most of them came from outer cities, hoping to meet the immortals.

They are all hoping that they can worship immortals as their teachers and be awarded the way of longevity.

In the end, after inquiring many ways and confirming that Qiongqi was twenty miles east of the city, Han Jiang and Xiao Yun left the city.

Logically speaking, twenty miles is not far away.

But Han Jiang and Xiao Yun rode their horses until the sun went down, but still couldn't find where the beast was.

In the border area, sparsely populated is the norm, and there are no shops in the front of the village or behind the village.

The villages here are extremely far apart, if Qiongqi is attracted to a certain village, it is also possible.

"Rest for one night first, and expand the search area tomorrow." Han Jiang tightened the reins and said to Xiao Yun beside him.

Xiao Yun nodded, "I listen to Big Brother Han."

"Who is it!" There was a sudden shout in the jungle.

"There are ferocious beasts making trouble here, all the idlers should stay away, otherwise we will arrest the two of you in the name of spies of the empire!"

While speaking, several soldiers wearing Zhao Guobing armor came out.

For the common people of Chu and Zhao, it is a good thing that the beasts appear in the border area, where there are few people.

But it's not good for the kings, ministers, and generals of the two countries. The empire is likely to garrison troops in the name of clearing up the beasts.

So in this area, a lot of soldier posts have been arranged.

When they came, the two of Han Jiang didn't ride a horse, and it was easy to escape the border soldiers.

Seeing a large number of soldiers posting, Han Jiang didn't care. He only thought that the two countries were more hostile and guarded against each other strictly.

"We are rangers from the Zhao Kingdom. We have come to kill the beast. Do you want to know where the beast is?" Han Jiang shouted at the soldiers.

The soldiers glanced at each other, and the leader pointed at Han Jiang with his spear and said, "The two of you are really spies from the empire. Come, catch them both!"

After speaking, soldiers in the forest appeared one after another, and a total of 40 people surrounded Han Jiang and the two of them.

Han Jiang sighed, how could he be a spy if he came to kill the monster?
What about trust between people?
In fact, it wasn't that these soldiers didn't trust Han Jiang's words, it was because Zhao Guo's 200-man team was killed by ferocious beasts.

Rumors of ferocious beasts in the country are also becoming more and more widespread. How dare the two of them attack the ferocious beasts.

"Do it, try not to hurt anyone!" Han Jiang said to Xiao Yun who was beside him.

Thirty or forty ordinary people, even well-trained soldiers, are no match for the two of Han Jiang.

After a while, Han Jiang captured the soldiers wearing the costumes of centurions.

"We have no intention of going against you. It's really a monster that wreaks havoc in the world. As a good man...as a chivalrous ranger, how can we watch the monsters wreak havoc?"

The centurion was pinched by Han Jiang on the back of the neck. If the enemy army is really so powerful, is there still a need to make excuses?
"My lord, where is the monster?" Han Jiang asked very politely.

The centurion pinched Han Jiang's iron-like palm with all his strength, but he couldn't move a finger at all.

"You first, let me go!" The centurion's resentment rose in his heart. Has anyone ever talked to someone like this?

Han Jiang let go of the centurion, smiled embarrassedly and said: "We are also here to prove that we are here to kill monsters, otherwise, you don't have to suffer such flesh and blood, do you?"

Soldiers fell down on the ground one by one, and they could climb up by leaning on the tree in good health, and almost rolled over while clutching their stomachs.

"Over there!" the centurion said angrily, pointing in one direction.

Han Jiang looked over with his fingers, but found nothing, and asked, "Is the centurion lying to me?"

"The ferocious beast is as big as a mountain bag, and its temperament is unpredictable. In order to protect the safety of the civilians on the border, we have sent people to lure the ferocious beast away." The centurion said.

"Lead away?" Han Jiang frowned. Could it be that Zhao Guo also has a super expert?

"Let's go." Han Jiang and Xiao Yun mounted their horses again and rushed in the direction of the beast.

After the two left, a soldier asked the centurion, "Aren't these two spies from the enemy country?"

The centurion glared at the soldier and said: "The enemy's spies are so powerful, if you don't go to lead troops to fight as a general, what kind of spies should you be?"

The two of Han Jiang climbed over a mountain and heard an earth-shattering roar.

"Wang~"

Qiongqi barked like a dog, but with the blessing of his huge body, the barking of the dog also turned into a roar.

"It's over there."

At the foot of the mountain, a huge, long and strangely shaped beast was chasing a group of people.

Some of these people were dressed in prisoner clothes, some were slave clothes, and they were all trying to avoid the beast.

Qiongqi has wings on his back. Although he is huge, he is extremely flexible. Every time he makes a move, one person will die.

In the mountains and forests, there are tens of hundreds of Zhao Guo secret sentries.

On the pipeline farther away, there were soldiers pulling prison carts, which were filled with death row prisoners.

"This is using human life to lure away the beast!" Xiao Yun's tone was somewhat resentful.

"No matter what mistakes those people have made before, what should they do if they deserve to die, and they won't be so cruel to them." Han Jiang sighed.

There is still slavery in this era, and the kings of various countries cover the sky with one hand in their own territory, and it is possible to do anything.

The nobles have their own interests, and it is better to use their own slaves and death row prisoners to drive away the beasts than to use soldiers and private soldiers.

"Let's do it, you must be careful!" Han Jiang once again told Xiao Yun beside him.

As one of the four ancient fierce beasts, Qiongqi can't only have the instinct of pouncing, scratching, tearing, and biting these beasts.

The Honkai Beast, which can be left in myths and legends by the ancients, doesn't have any special abilities.
