Chapter 2417 Inquiry (Two Chapters in One)

"I didn't intend to kill you, but you insisted on pestering me, so I can only fulfill your wish..." said the masked man in black viciously.

The officer's nervousness began to spread, but he did not retreat at this time. He immediately swung the chain and took the lead in attacking.

"Bang."

The target disappeared instantly, the iron chain whipped to the ground, and the bricks on the ground were cracked.

Some passers-by who were secretly watching the battle in the distance screamed, "Be careful, he is behind you."

As soon as the voice fell, the officer turned around and punched with all his strength.

"Boom."

The fists of both sides collided with each other, and the rain falling from the sky was instantly blown away by the impact of the fist collision.

"Boom, boom, boom..."

The fierce battle continued, and all the houses along the way were destroyed.

The onlookers were frightened and hurried to evacuate further away.

"These two pig-headed men are really fierce. Do you think our inn will be affected later?" asked the tall investigator.

"According to the current trend of the battle, there is a high probability that our inn will be affected." The short investigator said.

"Should we go downstairs first? If the inn is really going to be affected, we can evacuate in advance." The tall investigator said.

"Okay." The short investigator nodded, and then the two of them left the guest room and walked downstairs.

Some guests in the inn had similar ideas. They came to the first floor and looked out at the door of the lobby.

The two people who were fighting in the distance suddenly stopped moving. Because the distance was relatively close, they were afraid of being affected, so now these guests did not dare to run out at this time.

"Puff."

The masked man in black punched the officer in the chest, and the officer who was knocked away vomited blood and smashed a big hole in the wall of a civilian house.

Passersby who saw this scene thought that the officer was going to be finished next, and at this moment, a sharp sound of breaking through the air sounded.

"Swish."

It was an arrow. Someone was shooting arrows with a bow hundreds of meters away. The arrows with psychic energy attached were very scary and shot at the target at a very fast speed.

The black-clothed masked man reacted very quickly. When he noticed the danger, he immediately shifted his attention away from the target and looked around.

When the arrow came, the black-clothed masked man dodged to the right immediately.

The arrow that was avoided hit the wall and instantly blew the entire wall to pieces.

"It's reinforcements." The onlookers shouted in surprise.

Under everyone's gaze, a well-equipped team appeared in the distance, and each of them exuded powerful psychic fluctuations.

One of the burly figures holding a bow and arrow had the strongest psychic fluctuations.

The black-clothed masked man saw the reinforcements coming, glanced at the seriously injured officer who was vomiting blood, and then ran away without hesitation.

The two investigators looked at the black-clothed masked man passing by the door and found that he had a wound on his hand.

Although the officer was defeated in the battle just now, the other side also caused some injuries to this powerful insurgent.

"He escaped, and there will be no more fighting in our area next..." said the tall investigator.

"Well." The short investigator nodded, "The matter has come to an end, and we can go back to rest..."

Then, the two investigators returned to their respective guest rooms to continue sleeping.

…………

The noise on the street was very loud, and many soldiers were looking for insurgents everywhere.

The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead stood in front of the window, looking at the noisy street. Some soldiers grabbed passers-by outside and took them away directly.

These passers-by ran out of the surrounding houses. They were worried about being affected by the battle before. Now that the battle is over, they are preparing to go home. When they meet the soldiers who are searching, they will inevitably be asked some questions.

And because there are so many people, the soldiers can't ask them one by one.

At present, they can only take these people back and lock them up. After the questioning, they can be released only after confirming that these people have nothing to do with the insurgents.

The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead retracted his gaze, listened to the voices of passers-by crying out for justice, and looked at the direction where the rebels left.

He speculated in his heart that if nothing unexpected happened, the rebels should have escaped from the city tonight.

If it weren't for the big incident this time, these rebels would still be hiding in the city.

They are experienced and predicted that the search and arrest efforts on the second day would be even greater.

If they continue to stay in the city, the possibility of being caught will increase significantly.

So for safety reasons, it is better to leave the city overnight.

Ordinary people go out of the city at night and encounter strange beasts outside the city, which can easily lead to their lives.

And these rebels are all strong. They gather together and find a place to settle outside the city. Even if they encounter strange beasts at night, it is relatively simple to deal with them, and they will not be in danger of their lives.

…………

The next morning.

The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead was awakened by a noisy sound. He quickly got up and opened the window to check.

I saw a team of fully armed cavalry running fast on the road, heading towards the city gate.

Passersby who saw this scene talked a lot, and most people didn't know what these cavalry were going to do?

The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead was experienced and probably guessed that this team of cavalry was going to go out of the city to chase the fleeing rebels.

Logically speaking, after escaping from the city, there is no way to determine the whereabouts of the defectors.

It is basically impossible to send people to chase those rebels later.

Now these heavily armed cavalry are going to chase the rebels. It is most likely that they have obtained accurate information, so they mobilized so many people.

"I hope I can capture a few rebels." The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead said to himself.

Because it was still early, he went back to bed to rest.

When the sun rose to a certain height in the sky and the inn began to become noisy, the pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead walked out of the inn after breakfast.

Next, he will continue to take on missions to earn money and collect the money to buy defensive spiritual weapons as soon as possible.

As there was a lot of commotion in the city last night, not surprisingly, there were a lot of soldiers searching for rebels today.

The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead encountered many soldiers searching for rebels when he went to receive the mission.

When I arrived at my destination, I found that there were half as many people here to pick up the mission today than yesterday.

Maybe many people feel that today is a bit chaotic and want to avoid unnecessary trouble, so they won't come here to pick up the mission today.

The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead looked around and found no soldiers coming here to search for the rebels.

Then he started to browse the tasks, searched for a while, and found a task similar to the previous task of picking purple cloud flowers.

After accepting the mission, the pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead immediately went to the roadside to find a carriage, and then headed for the city gate.

When he came to the city gate, he happened to encounter a group of heavily armed soldiers setting off from the city gate.

This group of soldiers should also be hunting down the rebels who made trouble last night. After they left the city, they rushed towards the woods to the west without any pause.

The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead came out of the city and looked at the ground. Many horse hoof prints were going away in one direction, following the same path as those fully armed soldiers just now.

It seems that the rebels who caused trouble last night are hiding in the woods to the west.

"It's strange why those rebels are still staying in that place. It would be understandable if it was night. It's always not good to travel at night. I chose to stay in the woods first and wait for dawn before traveling."

"It's already dawn. Isn't it very dangerous to continue to stay in the woods, and it's not very far from Zecheng?"

The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead analyzed what he had experienced before and felt that the rebels who made trouble last night were very unwise.

However, as a hostile party, he still supported the fight against the rebels.

Putting this matter aside, he started to head to the mission location.

This time the mission is also to collect flowers, but the mission location is further away than last time.

Although there were half as many people taking on the mission today as yesterday, on the way there, the pig-headed man captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead still met many people who were doing the same mission.

…………

Spiritual world, Tap Rock City.

A figure suddenly appeared in a remote alley. Lin Fei had not been to this city for a while. When he arrived, Lin Fei looked up at the sky and found that the weather was quite good today.

There is not a single cloud in the endless sky, just like a blue gem.

Lin Fei walked out of the alley and quickly walked to the herbal medicine shop across the street.

"Welcome." The store owner greeted Lin Fei warmly when he saw him arriving.

Lin Fei had visited this store before to make purchases. Although a long time had passed, the store owner still remembered him.

Lin Fei's arrival seemed to the store owner to be a purchase, and the quantity was definitely not small, so he seemed particularly enthusiastic.

"Hello, do you have this kind of herbal medicine here?" Lin Fei greeted the other party for a few words, then took out a piece of paper from his pocket and handed it to the other party.

The shop owner took the paper, opened it, took a look, and immediately shook his head.

"Sorry, we don't have the herbal medicine you need in our store." Lin Fei nodded, turned around and left, going to another herbal medicine store to inquire.

And when he turned around and took two steps, the store owner called out to him.

"Guest, please wait a moment."

"What's the matter?" Lin Fei stopped, turned around and looked at the other party, asking.

"Are you going to ask other stores if they have this herb?"

"Yes."

"Then you don't have to ask."

"What's wrong?"

"Because none of the herbal medicine shops in the city carry this herb."

"Um?"

Lin Fei looked at the other party in confusion. His first thought was that the shop owner was lying to him.

You must know that Tapashi City is very large and there are countless herbal medicine shops. The herbal medicine Wang Xiaoru needs is not a particularly scarce type. How is it possible that there is no place to buy this herbal medicine in the city?

The store owner seemed to have guessed that his words would make the other party suspicious, so he opened his mouth to explain.

"A while ago, several chambers of commerce were buying up this herb on a large scale and bought up all the herb in the city. So now if you want to look for this herb in other herbal shops, it is basically difficult to buy it..."

Lin Fei nodded, "That's it."

"If you are not in a hurry, you can wait a few days and come back. The goods should be available by then." The store owner suggested.

Lin Fei thought for a while and asked the shop owner, "I want to buy this herb today. Do you have any connections?"

The shop owner shook his head, saying that he was powerless because the several chambers of commerce that purchased the herbs had already transported the goods away. It was basically impossible to buy the herbs through some channels.

Lin Fei showed a regretful expression on his face, and then he turned and left.

"If you want herbs, the only way now is to go outside the city to collect them yourself." The shop owner mentioned this when Lin Fei was about to leave the herb shop.

"Okay." Lin Fei asked with a smile, "Do you know where outside the city there are such herbs?"

As Lin Fei spoke, he took out some cash from his pocket.

The shop owner took the money with a smile, then gave Lin Fei a map and emphasized some important matters.

"There are strange beasts in the place where herbs are collected. You'd better hire a few practitioners to go together, and your safety will also be guaranteed."

Lin Fei left the herb shop and walked into a small alley not far away.

A white light flashed in the alley, and Lin Fei's figure disappeared without a trace.

…………

Outside the city of Tashi, a few kilometers away from the city wall, a figure appeared out of thin air in front of a lush grove.

Lin Fei used the space teleportation ability to come outside the city, and then he took out a paper map from his pocket.

"There is a hill in that direction. After passing the hill and going forward for more than ten kilometers, you will reach the place where you can collect herbs."

Using the map to identify the direction, Lin Fei looked at the very conspicuous reference object in the distance, observed for a few seconds, then he put away the map, flew into the air, and flew quickly towards the hill in the distance.

But after a while, he arrived at the place where the hill was.

Flying over the hill, according to the instructions of the map, then flying along the river in front of the hill, and going forward for more than ten kilometers, you can see the place where the herbs are.

"Roar..."

From time to time, some beasts roared in the bushes on the ground. Lin Fei looked down from the sky and found that there were many strange beasts hiding in various places.

It may be that these strange beasts were close to each other and discovered each other.

At this time, the strange beasts roared to deter the other party, hoping that the other party would leave this place.

"Fighting?"

Just when Lin Fei guessed that these beasts roared to drive away their competitors, he immediately saw two ferocious beasts approaching each other quickly and then started fighting.

These two beasts were not small in size, at least the size of adult elephants.

When they fought each other, the noise was very loud, and the noise of their fighting could be heard from a long distance.

"Roar."

"Bang."

They wrestled together and fell heavily to the ground.

The ground had many cracks due to the violent impact of the beasts.
