Chapter 624 Tragedy

,

After Liu Jie's explanation, Su Li realized that the seven of them came out today on only two giant tortoise mounts, and each giant tortoise can accommodate four people on its back. If you lend him one giant tortoise now, the remaining one will The seven of them couldn't squeeze in, so they had to take Su Li back to Donglong City first, and then lend him a mount.

"Okay, thank you all."

Su Li nodded gratefully in agreement. According to Liu Jie's introduction, Donglong City is not too far away from here. It takes less than half an hour to get there by riding a horse.

The monsters in this monster lair have been almost cleaned up. A group of eight people, riding two giant tortoises, left the monster lair and headed towards Donglong City.

Chatting with Liu Jie and the others on the way, I learned that Donglong City is about the same size as Shoude City, with a total population of about 30,000 people. They should be the core group of Donglong City members.

Su Li has seen Xuanhua's attack just now, although he didn't show his real strength, Su Li can vaguely feel that Xuanhua has become more terrifying than before.

If the former Xuanhua's combat power was equivalent to the low level of "Super", then the current Xuanhua's combat power is at least the middle level of "Super".

As for the evaluation of his combat power, Su Li is not sure about it, and he doesn't know what level to evaluate.

While chatting on the way, Su Li noticed that Xuan Hua seemed very silent, and had been silently watching the distance, as if he was thinking about something.

"Xuanhua, why are you acting weird after you come back? You're so taciturn." Liu Jie suddenly smiled, and looked at Xuanhua, with hidden worries in her eyes.

She may have just said it casually, but Xuanhua's body shook slightly. Su Li had been paying attention to him secretly all the time. A cold light passed, hiding a trace of killing intent.

It's cold and cold, for some reason, even Su Li feels an inexplicable creep when he touches it, like a terrifying monster hidden in Xuanhua's body, but this monster has been lurking there, although it is motionless, it is always staring at him These people may open their bloody mouths at any time and swallow them up.

But the cold light in his eyes flashed away, Xuanhua grinned and completely returned to normal. He shook his head with a wry smile and said, "I'm not used to coming back from the base suddenly."

Another man interjected: "Sister Liu, stop asking, brother Xuanhua must be in a bad mood, let's understand more."

Everyone felt that Xuanhua should have been eliminated by the base,

Being sent back again, it was like falling from the clouds suddenly, it was inevitable to be lost, no wonder I was in a good mood.

Liu Jie didn't take it seriously, and said, "The base is nothing good, but I think our Donglong City is pretty good."

Everyone chatted along the way, but they were not lonely. Through their chats, Su Li learned a lot about Donglong City. Half an hour later, everyone arrived in Donglong City.

The terrain of Donglong City is quite strange. The central area is very high, in the shape of a huge hill. Although the surrounding areas are submerged by floods, the central city area is exposed on the water.

The 30,000 people are mainly concentrated in this central urban area, surrounded by tall buildings rising through the water, standing in all directions, like ancient trees in the sky.

Su Li saw it, and nodded secretly, no wonder these people chose Donglong City, it is relatively well preserved and the environment is not bad.

"Brother Su, come with me here, we have many mounts in Donglong City, you can choose whichever one you like."

Liu Jie took Su Li, just landed, and was about to choose a mount, when suddenly someone rushed towards him.

The man yelled loudly while running: "Brother Xuanhua, Sister Liu, I found Shishi—"

Liu Jie was overjoyed, and said, "Have you found Shishi? This dead girl, she didn't say anything in advance when she went hunting with others, which made me worry for a long time."

The visitor's face was very ugly, and he said, "Sister Liu, Shishi..."

Seeing the other party's hesitation, Liu Jie felt an ominous feeling in her heart, and immediately said in a deep voice, "What's wrong with her?"

"Shishi is dead." The man took a breath, with a look of grief and indignation.

Liu Jie was stunned, and said, "Dead? Did she go hunting with you in an accident?"

Shishi is her best best friend. Although her strength is mediocre, Liu Jie often takes her to hunt together. When we came together this morning, I couldn't find Shishi, as if she disappeared mysteriously.

It's just that Xuanhua and the others were in a hurry to hunt monsters, so Liu Jie didn't think much about it, thinking that Shishi must have left early with other hunting teams.

Because Shishi had said several times before that she thought that bringing her would drag Liu Jie down, so she wanted to be in a team with someone who was as strong as her.

Returning now, the man suddenly said that Shishi was dead, and Liu Jie's first reaction was that Shishi was out hunting and had an accident.

Thinking of the sudden death of her best best friend, Liu Jie suddenly felt sad.

"It's not hunting. She didn't go hunting at all today. Someone was having a private meeting in an unoccupied building on the outer ring today. They accidentally saw her dead body. They were quite frightened and hurriedly reported it."

"What? She died in a building in the outer ring?" Liu Jie was stunned.

They divided Donglong City into an inner ring and an outer ring. The inner ring is where the ground is exposed above the water and is the main residence of 30,000 people. The outer ring is submerged by water, but because the water is not deep, a large number of The high-rise buildings are all exposed on the water, so there are many high-rise buildings with people living in them, and of course there are more high-rise buildings that are empty, so they become places for private meetings of some young couples.

After all, the inner ring is narrow and there are many people, it is really inconvenient to have a private tryst, unlike in the outer ring, no one disturbs, no matter how loud you shout, it's okay.

"Take me to see!" Liu Jie originally thought that Shishi was killed by a monster in an accident when she was out hunting. In an unmanned building, the situation is not right, and it is very likely that he was not killed by a monster.

"Okay, I just went to see it, Shishi... died a miserable death..." The man said halfway, shaking his head, he couldn't bear to say any more.

Su Li originally wanted to borrow the mount and leave, but seeing Liu Jie's serious face and the shock of the others, the atmosphere suddenly became solemn. Under such circumstances, it was difficult for him to say leave for a while. I had no choice but to follow them to the outer ring.

There were already several huge rafts floating on the water. When Liu Jie and the others arrived, besides them, there were many other people gathered there. After seeing Xuanhua and Liu Jie, they all greeted each other.

The news of Shishi's death had obviously spread, and everyone knew that she had the best relationship with Liu Jie, and they were busy comforting her.

Liu Jie's face was ugly, she just waved her hand and asked everyone to take her to the scene.

Because everyone knew the relationship between Shishi and Liu Jie, after discovering Shishi's body, they did not destroy the scene and waited for Liu Jie to come back.

Su Li followed Liu Jie and this group of people, boarded several giant rafts, and headed for the outer ring of Donglong City along the water.

Soon it stopped under a building, and everyone went upstairs one after another.

This is a twelve-story building, which is not conspicuous among the tall buildings. The flood only covered the lower two floors, and the other ten floors were exposed above the water.

At this moment, a lot of people have gathered in the corridor on the third floor of this building.

Su Li followed Liu Jie up, and one of the doors opened. Liu Jie walked to the door, her body shook, as if she had seen some shocking scene, and she froze there.

Su Li followed closely and saw blood splatters everywhere in this room, the walls and the ground were full of blood that had already solidified.

A distorted corpse was lying on the ground in a large shape, covered with a thin blanket, and the exposed legs and face were covered with bloodstains from being scratched, making it look bloody and bloody. The eyes were wide open, It seems to be dead.

Liu Jie was cold all over, as if she couldn't believe that her best friend, who was still lively and cute yesterday, with whom she chatted and laughed, appeared in front of her today with such a tragic death.

"Poetry..."

Liu Jie was trembling slightly, and walked in slowly.

Everyone around is watching silently, but everyone who can live to this day has basically experienced too much life and death. Although Shishi died tragically, most of the people didn't feel too strongly. Only Liu Jie because of being with Shishi Only with a good relationship can there be such a strong performance.

When she got closer, Liu Jie discovered that Shishi's throat had been torn open, which should be the real cause of her death.

Originally, Liu Jie thought that she was killed by someone, but seeing the tragedy of the scene, especially her throat was torn, it looked like she was killed by a monster.

"How come there are monsters in the outer ring? Did Xiaojun come to investigate? Have you determined who the murderer is?" Liu Jie raised her head and looked at everyone.

The leader who brought them here before said: "Xiaojun has been here, but unfortunately he can only smell Shishi's breath, other than that, he can't smell anything else. It seems that this monster who killed Shishi, Know how to hide your breath."

"It doesn't have to be a monster. Do you think it might be a human?" One of them suddenly spoke.

His words made several people look at him.

"How is it possible, look at the wound on Shishi's throat, it was bitten open by a monster, and we just checked the wound on this throat, there are signs of being sucked, it seems that this should be a blood-sucking monster. "

"Looking at the frozen blood, this tragedy should have happened last night."

The speaker was a doctor before the flood. Since he made such a judgment, it is likely that he is right.

"What's strange now is why Shishi came here alone last night? And she didn't seem to be struggling."

"I think there is another possibility, that is, this monster knocked Shishi unconscious in another place, and then brought it here. This monster is really crazy. Looking at the scars on Shishi's body, it is obvious that this monster did not have a good time. It’s really strange to kill Shishi instead of killing her, it seems that this monster hates us humans very much.”

Everyone was expressing their opinions. Liu Jie paled and stood up again. Since even Xiaojun, who had strengthened his nose several times, could only smell the smell of Shishi, but not the murderer, then this case has already been settled. Can't check anymore.

"I'm afraid that this monster will appear again. We need to remind everyone and let everyone be more vigilant."

Su Li looked at the corpses on the ground silently, and listened to the conversations of the people. As an outsider, it was not easy for him to express his opinions.

Fortunately, after seeing Su Li, Liu Jie finally remembered, and hurriedly said: "Brother Su, I'm sorry, I just heard the sad news about Shishi, and forgot about you for a while."

"I'm fine, you... my condolences." Su Li could only comfort.

Liu Jie hummed, and handed over the handling of the corpse to a few close friends she could trust, and then she personally took Su Li to choose a mount.

Just like what Liu Jie said, there are quite a few mounts in Donglong City, of which Liu Jie has tamed six of them, and Su Li picked out the smallest and most exquisite sword raccoon beast.

It looks a bit like a large civet cat, but there is no hair on the skin, but a kind of thin and soft scales, with a pointed nose, which looks a little cute.

"Remember the little raccoon. We must listen to this brother Su and send him home safely." Liu Jie was telling the sword raccoon.

"I will definitely bring it back to you in person." Su Li expressed his gratitude to Liu Jie for his enthusiastic help.

"You don't need to make a special trip here, take me with you when you meet next time." Liu Jie smiled. She has many mounts and a sword raccoon, but it's nothing.

The main reason is that Shoude City is too far away from Donglong City. If the road is close, with the ability of the Sword Beaver, it can return alone.

Su Li rode on the sword raccoon beast and looked at Liu Jie. At first he didn't want to meddle in the affairs of Donglong City, but after thinking that Liu Jie had helped him, he decided to remind her, saying: "Miss Liu, there is one thing I don't know Should I say it?"

"What's the matter?" Liu Jie was slightly taken aback.

Su Li lowered his voice and said, "Beware of Xuan Hua, don't trust him too much."

Liu Jie was startled, looked at Su Li in front of him, felt a little baffled for a moment, and asked, "What do you mean?"

Su Li was about to say more, but found a voice coming from afar: "Brother Su, are you leaving now?" But it was Xuanhua's voice that came over.

He said as he walked towards here.

Liu Jie looked at Su Li, then at Xuan Hua who was walking over, thinking of what Su Li said suddenly just now, she was a little bit astonished, she really didn't expect that Su Li would say such a thing.

She has a very good relationship with Xuanhua. Deep in her heart, she has a faint admiration for Xuanhua, but she has never expressed it. As for Su Li, she just admires him.

At this moment, when Su Li suddenly heard that Xuan Hua was not good in front of him, he felt a little disgust towards Su Li in his heart.

Suddenly, her heart moved, and she somewhat understood why Su Li said that.

"It should be that I am very passionate about him, and he may have misunderstood something. The greater possibility is that he has fallen in love with me, and seeing that I like Xuanhua, he wants to provoke my relationship with Xuanhua, like this , he has a chance."

The more I think about it, the more I think it should be true.

"It's no wonder that Shoude City is so far away from us. He would find excuses to come here, saying that the mount had an accident and asked me to borrow the mount. This man is so naive."
