Chapter 2211 Sounding the Alarm Bell

"Lü Liang" impulsively joined the Rebel Hall and took on the task of catching and killing blue crabs. Before departure, everyone had already put him on the must-die list.

Whether it was Song Yi or other staff at the Rebel Pavilion, or other rebels and gatekeepers, they were used to seeing people who overestimate their own capabilities and seek death, so they couldn't be blamed for being cold-blooded, as if they didn't care. After all, everyone has their own choice.

So when Jia Zhengjin's transformed "Lüliang" returned to the city gate, the gatekeepers thought he had retreated from the battle.

"What, have you figured it out?" one of them laughed, "It's impossible to catch blue crabs alone. Go back to the city and change to a simpler task!"

"That's right, you are still young, there is no need to die!"

"Come to the city quickly! It's okay to be the kind of person who catches lions and rhinos. There's no shame in that."

The two gatekeepers advised kindly.

"Who are you throwing away?" Jia Zhengjin walked directly in front of them, "Ring this bell to summon the army in the city. Prepare the car as soon as possible. The blue crab has been killed. Pull it back quickly to avoid being eaten by other beasts."

"Huh?" After hearing this, the two gatekeepers looked at each other.

"Lu Liang, there's no shame in not completing the mission. We won't laugh at you. Originally, you received this as a super mission that requires an army to assemble to carry out. Even the army may not be able to succeed. There is no need to brag for the sake of face." said the soldier on the left. , "Don't you think that exaggerating is more embarrassing than failing to complete the task?"

"That's right! It's just a common problem for newbies. You don't need to feel embarrassed and brag. Go back to the city and change tasks! Don't ring this warning bell randomly. You can brag. If you really call the army over for no reason, you will be jailed!"

The two guards guarding the gate were kind enough to persuade them. If it were the cold-blooded ones, who would care so much about you?

"Sound the warning bell for me!" Jia Zhengjin said, "I have successfully killed the blue crabs and completed the mission."

The two gatekeepers looked at each other again, thinking to themselves: Did he blow too much and never come back, so he risked his life?

"Lu Liang, this is no joke!"

"If the army comes and finds you lying, the consequences will be really serious!"

"Yes! There is no need to destroy yourself just for the sake of temporary pride.

"

The two soldiers spoke earnestly.

"Thank you both for your concern, please sound the warning bell!" Jia Zhengjin said.

"Are you sure? There is no way to recover after this knock! If you can't see the body of the blue crab, you will be in bad luck!"

"Don't worry! Ring the alarm quickly."

The two gatekeepers did not believe that he had the ability to kill the blue crab, but seeing his persistence, they said that they had tried their best to persuade him, and since you had made up your mind, there was nothing you could do.

"Dang-dang-dang..." The warning bell rang, and the sound quickly spread throughout Stone Heart City.

Everyone in the city put down their work and watched a large number of soldiers appear on the streets and run in order towards the city gate.

Warning bells usually sound only when major events occur, and these are major events that can affect Stone Heart City.

Ringing the bell indiscriminately is a crime, and the punishment is very severe. Generally, no one dares to do it.

Just when everyone was speculating about what was going on, the army arrived at the city gate. The leading general of Shixincheng, Liu Tan, asked loudly: "What's going on? Why did you sound the warning bell?!"

After all, the city gate has not been closed urgently, which means that there is no danger of giant beasts attacking the city.

Facing General Liu Tan, who was second only to the city lord and one person below Shi Xincheng and above ten thousand people, the two gatekeepers did not dare to neglect and hurriedly stepped forward and said: "Report to the general! It's Lu Liang who just joined the rebel army. He said that it has been completed." The mission of catching blue crabs sounded the alarm..."

When Liu Tan heard this, his first reaction was that the boy named Lu Liang was bragging. He turned to him and said, "Are you Lu Liang?"

"Yes, general!" Jia Zhengjin nodded.

"Do you know that it is a very serious crime to sound the alarm to Zhong Shizhong and lie about military intelligence?" Liu Tan asked in a deep voice.

"Report to the general, I know very well!" Jia Zhengjin replied, "So I dare not lie about the military situation. The blue crab has been successfully killed and the body is still on the edge of the reservoir. We must send troops to pull it back as soon as possible, otherwise it may be discovered by other giant beasts. "

"If you go to the reservoir and don't see the bodies of blue crabs, or if there is no evidence that you fought and killed the blue crabs, you will go to jail!" Liu Tan reminded.

"General, please send troops to accompany me immediately!" Jia Zhengjin responded.

Seeing that his firm attitude didn't look like he was lying, Liu Tan felt a little hesitant in his heart. Could it be true?

Anyway, no matter whether it is true or false, I have to go and take a look.

If it is true, the Shixincheng Reservoir has solved the biggest danger, which is definitely a good thing! If it's fake, it's this kid who's going to suffer anyway.

Thinking of this, he immediately ordered: "Prepare the vehicle immediately and follow me out of the city!"

The carts used by Stoneheart City's army to pull prey are specially made giant wooden carts pulled by domesticated giant lizards.

Jia Zhengjin took the lead, and Liu Tan led the troops and vehicles and quickly left the city and rushed to the vicinity of the reservoir.

When he arrived at the body of the blue crab, Liu Tan was stunned, and the soldiers behind him were also dumbfounded and speechless.

"It's really a blue crab..." The huge blue crab corpse in front of him made Liu Tan's whole body tremble with excitement, "It can't be another one, right?"

"This is the only giant blue crab in the reservoir!" Jia Zhengjin replied.

Liu Tan stepped forward to take a closer look: "There was an obvious scar on the abdomen. It was indeed the one that had been stabbed while fighting with the army! But...its body was not complete, and most of it had disappeared. And why are there so many holes on the body?”

"Report to the general," Jia Zhengjin certainly would not say that most of the blue crab bodies were collected by himself. His eyes rolled, "In fact, I don't have the ability to kill the blue crabs by myself, so I used some strategies."

"Strategy? What strategy?" Liu Tan asked hurriedly, "We have tried various ways, but we couldn't kill it!"

"It's very simple," Jia Zhengjin said, "It's unlikely that we can fight such a terrible blue crab with our personal strength, or even the strength of the army. But think differently, aren't there all kinds of creatures in the world that are more terrifying than blue crabs? It happened that I found a giant sparrow around, so I tried to lead the blue crab out of the water and let the giant sparrow notice it. Luckily, the sparrow really attacked the blue crab and successfully pecked it to death. Most of the crab shells and crab meat were eaten by the sparrows, but fortunately there was still a part left."

"In other words, the big holes on the crab shells were pecked out by the sparrows?" Liu Tan's eyes lit up, which made sense.

"Yes, general, we'd better pull the blue crab bodies back as soon as possible, otherwise it will be dangerous if other giant beasts appear!" Jia Zhengjin said on the side.

"That's right!" Liu Tan gave him a meaningful look and waved his hand. "Everyone, load the blue crab carcasses onto the truck immediately, quick!"
