This is a group of ugly beasts.

Their bodies are gray-brown, with potholes on the outside, and they are filled with mucus that you feel disgusted by looking at them. Their eyes are big, but they do not have any luster that belongs to living beings, and they are cold and numb.

"Qua!Qua!"

These "toads" were croaking and swept past the edge of the talisman as if no one else had noticed the existence of other things.

Zhao Yuanba looked at this scene quietly, watching the group of "ugly" creatures disappear deep in the woods, without disturbing or blocking them.

After a while, he recovered:

"It's Ran Yi, but I haven't seen these guys for a long time."

"Brother Zhao, what have just passed?" Jiang Yan obviously didn't know Ran Yi who Zhao Yuanba said, so he took the initiative to ask.

"This is a good beast."

Zhao Yuanba withdrew his gaze and explained seriously:

"Ran Yi is essentially the same as those beasts that can circulate the world's original mechanism, and is a strange beast.

"But they mainly feed on weirdness and have almost no demand for other flesh and blood creatures. For us, they are considered beneficial beasts. If we encounter them in normal times, we will not provoke them if we can, and we will not kill them if we can."

Is this a protected animal in another world? Jiang Yan sighed in his heart, thought about it again, and asked resolutely:

"Does Ran Yi have the ability to explore strange locations?"

This is inferred from Zhao Yuanba's previous words that a species that feeds on weirdness must have the ability to find prey so that it will not starve to death.

"right!"

At this time, Miao Xiaohong took over the conversation and answered the question on behalf of Zhao Yuanba.

Then, he added:

"But this ability is not very strong. Only when the weirdness shows more obvious traces can they find the target.

"However, there are so many weird things in this world, and you can find food by just walking around..."

In other words, Detective Ran Yi is not very capable of seeking strange specific locations, and is even very delicious. He even talks about it. He has not starved to death and can survive. It is because there is too much food and there is almost no need to look for it.

Jiang Yan knew what Miao Xiaohong wanted to express, and immediately extinguished his thoughts of raising such a pet, and sighed:

"What a pity."

"What a pity?" Miao Xiaohong glanced at Jiang Yan:

"You may not know that in Nanyan City, many forces are more or less raising Ran Yi... Of course, they are not because of Ran Yi's pitiful ability to explore, but because of the instinct that they will eat wildly no matter how powerful the other party is.

"Think about it, there are really weird attacks. Releasing such a bunch of cannon fodders that are not afraid of life and death can always create opportunities to escape."

"this……"

Listening to Miao Xiaohong's words, Jiang Yan nodded subconsciously:

"It's indeed a good beast."

During such exchanges, Aokido's team continued to move in the wilderness, and stopped next to a low hill with no obvious characteristics when sunsets.

This is a stone mountain with sparse trees and no vitality. In the low-lying area next to this hill, there is a deep pool, blue and clear.

"Let's take turns to take the wind and wash it."

Jiang Yan pinched his nose and couldn't control his eyes downstream of the deep pool.

It was a stream.

"Okay." "No problem."

Zhao Yuanba and Miao Xiaohong could no longer bear the "abdom" emitted by themselves. Without considering it, they directly agreed to Jiang Yan's suggestion.

...

...

Night falls.

Darkness surges from all directions.

After dinner, the Baihe Chamber of Commerce and the group stayed in their respective cars, rested early, and prepared to wash away the fatigue that had been lost for the day of running around.

"It's so quiet, it really doesn't look like a wilderness.

"Where are those fierce and weird? What about those strange beasts with malicious intentions? Why aren't there any?"

Jiang Yan stood on a large stone platform outside the team, looking around, hoping to find some abnormalities, but in the end he found nothing.

"Ah? What are you talking to me?"

Next to him, Mu Yingxue, who was slender and holding a long bow in his palm, suddenly turned his head, widened his eyes and looked at Jiang Yan.

As "masters" supporting Aokido, it is natural that these ten of them could not do nothing. Under Chu Pingqing's instruction, this night patrol requires five people and two groups of guards.

This time, Jiang Yan did not go with Zhao Yuanba and Miao Xiaohong, and he needed to be on duty in the middle of the night.

Because of the incident in the morning, he was already considered by others in Baihetang to be a man with a unique "smell" and no one was willing to team up with him to complete the task.

Under such circumstances, Mu Yingxue was thinking about the "friendship" between the two before, and the "helpfulness" state surged. Without hesitation, she took the initiative to invite Jiang Yan.

“I mean…”

Jiang Yan faced the mountain wind and raised his voice slightly so that the other party could hear:

“It’s so quiet here, not like I thought.”

"What do you want?" Mu Yingxue's eyes flashed and she asked with great enthusiasm.

"Of course..." Jiang Yan chuckled:

"Of course, he was attacked by some dangerous thing and was unable to resist. He could only rely on a hero next to him to help."

“Hmph…”

Knowing that Jiang Yan was teasing her, Mu Yingxue didn't care. She clenched her fists while protesting, as if she wanted to hammer someone:

"If you are in danger, I can't save you.

"Although I have good talent, high strength, and practice high-quality skills, I am in the real alchemy realm after all. No matter how powerful I am, I cannot break through the boundary of the great realm and cannot surpass the level.

"So, don't think so, don't think about accidents, be careful that bad luck will come like this."

"Uh..." Jiang Yan was stunned. Unexpectedly, Mu Yingxue reacted like this, which almost refreshed his perception of this woman:

"This is not like you."

"Why don't it look like it?"

Mu Yingxue asked angrily:

"Does I look like the kind of person who likes 'chaotic'?"

You are not like you, you are the kind of person, without chaos, why do you see injustice and help with it? Jiang Yan muttered in his heart, but didn't say anything, just looked at her with a smile.

“I’m passionate about helping those 'weak' people.”

Mu Yingxue closed her eyes and sighed:

"But I hope there is no such thing here, no one is in danger and no one needs help."

What a gentle woman... Jiang Yan sighed and didn't talk to her about these slightly heavy topics. He changed his tone and asked:

"I remember that among the ten people who came to Lieyun City, you should not be without."

"I need to contribute recently, so I begged Master Yin to replace someone and participate in this mission."

Mu Yingxue took a breath and her tone became calmer:

"You may not know that I came from a not-so-large family in Nanyan City. In order to cultivate me, the clan consumed a lot of resources. Now that I have achieved success in martial arts, I have to give feedback.

"Well, as long as you do more things and accumulate more contributions in the Chamber of Commerce, you can exchange for some business channels with considerable profits, and even in some aspects, the strong men of the Chamber of Commerce can take action."

"Can this still happen?" Jiang Yan was stunned.

"yes."

Mu Yingxue pursed her lips:

"Although our Lord is stingy and stingy, he is still human and cares about his subordinates. He is willing to take care of us from many aspects."
