A foul odor wafted past her nose, and Qianwu hurriedly took out a handkerchief to cover her nose.

“This place stinks!”

"Almost no one lives here. The houses on both sides have been rented by pork sellers to raise pigs." said a manager beside Chen Gu.

Lin Yinan frowned, carefully distinguishing the stench in the air. When they were performing missions in their previous life, they could basically smell the number of zombies and the degree of decay by the smell.

A picture suddenly popped up in her mind. She paused and thought carefully about the content of the picture.

Yun Shiyi was the first to notice that something was wrong with her and he stopped and looked around.

"Ma'am, what's wrong?"

“The smell here is a little familiar.”

Chen Gu almost stepped on a pile of pig manure in front of him. Everyone who has smelled pig manure will remember the smell.

Lin Yinan's five senses were much stronger than theirs. Yun Shiyi believed her words without a doubt and sniffed the stench in the air seriously.

“It does taste different from our farm.”

"Yes, there seems to be a smell of rotting corpse." This smell is most familiar to her.

As soon as she said this, everyone's faces became serious and they looked around vigilantly.

Smelling this familiar smell, Lin Yinan suddenly remembered the acrobatic performance on the street. The smell came from the animal that looked like a brown bear.

"Eleven, do you still remember the bear-like animal in the street acrobatic performance?" Lin Yinan said softly.

Qian Wu said: "Madam, I remember that his eyes were so creepy!"

Yun Shiyi lowered his eyes and thought for a moment. After a moment, he said, "Did you notice that its walking posture is very strange? It is dragging the back half of its legs."

They often went into the mountains to hunt, and after seeing so much, he remembered that normal animals did not walk like this.

Finally, he was certain that "the performing animal most likely had its legs broken."

"Was the acrobatics interesting?" Chen Gu asked. He heard from the manager that a group of unfamiliar jugglers had come, but he had not yet gone to watch them.

The servants were about to speak, but Lin Yinan gestured to them to keep quiet and pointed to the house next door.

After a while, everyone heard the sound of someone talking in the house.

"Sir, we are all honest businessmen. We dare not do anything illegal."

The voice of the person in the room was flattering, and Lin Yinan felt that the voice sounded somewhat familiar.

"Whether it exists or not is not up to you to decide. We will find out after we go in and search."

Then, everyone heard the sound of the yamen runners searching and rummaging through the belongings in the house.

After a while, the bailiff found nothing and left with his men, cursing.

"Sir, please go away. I've already told you that my family is very poor and has nothing."

The front door slammed shut, and the man in the room spat fiercely on the ground.

Lin Yinan thought of the man in the pork shop, it turned out to be him!

Just at this moment, there were some slight noises coming from another room, and then the pigs raised inside the wall began to howl, covering up the noise.

Chen Gu, Qian Wu and the others didn't hear it.

The smell here is too strong, Qianwu wanted to leave early, "Madam, let's go!"

"No, there's movement inside."

Everyone suddenly quieted down and listened attentively. Except for Yun Shiyi and the skilled subordinate beside Zhen Gu, no one else could hear it.

"What's inside?" Chen Gu asked his men in a low voice without daring to breathe.

"It sounds like a child crying."

As soon as the subordinate finished speaking, Lin Yinan said, "Master Chen, go and bring more people to surround this yard."

Then a figure flashed, and Lin Yinan, Yun Shiyi, Qian Wu and the secret guards jumped into the wall.

Inside the wall is the backyard of the house. The adjacent row of yards are all separated by mud bricks to be used as pig pens. Under the scorching sun, the stench of pig manure is even stronger than the smell outside.

The pigs in the pigsty next door were running back and forth in the pen, as if stimulated by something.

Lin Yinan and a few others walked towards the yard where the sound was heard.

Suddenly, she stopped in front of the pigpen where the commotion was coming from and looked at the black, unidentified object curled up inside the pigpen.

The commotion in the pigsty was probably caused by this.

Yun Shiyi picked up a stone and threw it at the creature. The creature jumped up in pain and landed on one of the pigs. The pig was crushed by the sudden weight and was so scared that it howled and ran around in the pigpen.

When the pig turned around, they could see clearly that the object on its back was the brown bear that performed street acrobatics.

Seeing people standing outside the pigsty watching it, the thing fell off the pig's back, covered in pig manure.

When you get closer and see its appearance clearly, it doesn't really look like a bear.

When he met those black and white eyes again, Lin Yinan was shocked. Those eyes did not belong to an animal at all, but a pair of human eyes.

"He is a human!" Yun Shiyi would not be wrong.

Qian Wu even whispered, "It's the legendary orc!"

After a closer look, Lin Yinan saw the clue. The hair on his body was dry and falling off, and it was uneven, and the blackened flesh inside could be seen.

"Not an orc..."

Before she could finish, she heard the butcher in the front yard walking towards them.

Several people pushed open the door of the next room and slipped in.

The half-human, half-beast little monster was still standing stupidly in the pigsty. The man walked into the pigsty with a whip, raised it and whipped the monster and the pigs.

"Howl, howl, howl your ass, I told you not to be restless!"

Looking through the crack in the door, Lin Yinan saw that the little monster didn't fight back, nor did he hide. He just stood there stupidly looking at the house where they were hiding. He was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat.

Perhaps he was tired of beating her, so the man quickly returned to the front yard with the whip.

When several people were about to go out, a rumbling sound suddenly came from under the tables and chairs in the room.

"Oh no! There's a dark room down there!"

Yun Shiyi said this in a low voice, and then quickly found a hiding place with the secret guards.

The two secret guards rolled to the ground and rolled under the bed against the wall.

Lin Yinan, Yun Shiyi, and Qian Wu leaped lightly and lay on the beam.

There is a pigsty outside. The windows of this room are sealed and it is extremely dark inside.

After they all hid, they saw the table and chairs in the room split in two, with a crack in the middle. Suddenly, they heard the miserable cries of many children and the flickering shadows of candlelight.

"It's so damn unlucky that we've been discovered before we even leave the city." Someone climbed out of the crack, cursing.

Another person followed closely behind, "When the storm is over, we can take these goods to other places to make some money."

"Ah! It hurts! You bastards let me go! Ah!" An ear-piercing scream of excruciating pain sounded, as if the person was experiencing extreme agony.

Lin Yinan was familiar with this voice; it was that of a titmouse.

"The tit is in there!" She gestured to Yun Shiyi in the dark.

Thinking of the half-human, half-beast monster in the pigpen outside, the lives of Titmouse and the other children were in danger and they could not wait a moment longer.

He drew out the long sword hidden under his clothes and stabbed at the two people who crawled out of the ground. Yun Shiyi followed closely behind.
