Chapter 555 The Murderer

When the remnant soldiers arrived at the edge of the swamp, the hiding lizard team leader came up to them.

"Is the...captain here?" The lizardman squad leader asked tremblingly after being frightened all night.

"Why is it you? Didn't you return to the city overnight?" asked the surviving squad leader.

"Don't mention it. We were ambushed. Tell me quickly. Is the captain here? I have something important to report." The squad leader said anxiously.

"Captain...Captain, he...he's dead!"

"Dead...dead? It shouldn't be. If you consume too much mental energy, you won't die so quickly?" The team leader said in a daze.

"The captain didn't die of mental exhaustion, he was killed."

"Killed? Killed by who?" The lizardman team leader was stunned.

"Well, it's hard to say now. According to a wounded soldier, the captain was killed by a wolf-headed man."

"Sure enough, it's these bastards again!" The lizard man team leader clenched his fists tightly and said bitterly.

"What?" the team leader on the opposite side asked.

So the squad leader told about the ambush last night, which made all the lizardmen present filled with indignation.

"Then what are we waiting for? Let's go back to the city and report the matter to the leader!" the team leader suggested.

"No, if we go back like this, we may not be able to enter the city and will be intercepted by the wolf-headed men. We have too many wounded soldiers now and it will be difficult for us to fight again." The team leader who was ambushed objected.

"What should we do?"

"I know a shortcut that can lead through the swamp to the base of the city wall. That is our lizardmen's defense area. We can climb into the city from there."

"Okay, let's do it!"

So the entire lizardman team changed direction and walked along the swamp, facing away from the city gate.

Just when the lizard team was far away, another team walked out of the forest, led by Li Yuanhong.

"Brother Li, will they believe you pretended to be a wolf-headed man yesterday?" the guard asked beside Li Yuanhong.

The person who attacked the lizard camp last night and killed the lizard captain was none other than Li Yuanhong. At that time, Li Yuanhong wore a masquerade mask and transformed into a wolf-headed man. He also deliberately imitated the voice of the captain who was interrogating the lizard transport team that day. , put all the blame on the wolf-headed man.

In fact, it is impossible for a wolf-headed man to attack the captain's camp. It is a camp with nearly two hundred people. Attacking such a camp without one or two hundred people can never hope to succeed. But the wolf-headed man mobilizing so many people at once will definitely arouse the vigilance of the lizard people, so the wolf-headed man leader will not do such stupid things. After all, once this matter is brought up, he will lose his head. As for sending a dozen soldiers to steal the credit for a sneak attack, such a thing can still be done.

However, when Li Yuanhong sneaked into Swamp City, he felt that there was a contradiction between the wolf-headed people and the lizard people, and the contradiction was deep, so Li Yuanhong planned to use this contradiction to muddy the waters.

As for the wolf-headed man who sent a team out of the city to follow the lizard people, this move was clearly seen by Fatty Lu in the sky.

When Li Yuanhong saw the guard questioning him, he smiled slightly and said, "They already believed it. If they didn't believe it, they could have entered the city through the main entrance. You see, they took a detour and took another way. It seems that they were afraid that the wolf-headed man was ambushing them. "

"Oh? Then Brother Li, do you think they will fight?" the guard asked.

"It's hard to say. Maybe I will go into the city at night to add fuel to their fire." Li Yuanhong looked at the lizard man going away and said.

"Is it too dangerous?" the guard asked worriedly.

"We must take risks now. The delay here has been too long. In two days, it will be the rainy season here, and we will not be able to fight." Li Yuanhong asked about the air. The moisture in the air is now heavier than the previous two days. A lot, which means a storm is coming soon.

At night, Swamp City still looks the same on the surface, with no changes, but the bar at night looks very strange. There used to be a fighting ring, but today there is unexpectedly no competition, and the soldiers drinking in the bar appear to be distinct. Both parties drank on one side and never crossed the dividing line in the middle. Even when they went out, they walked around the wall from their own side.

But soon, this balance was broken. I saw the door of the bar suddenly pushed open, and a wolf-headed man walked in swaggering, and walked directly to the bar along the road in the middle of the bar. The appearance of this wolf-headed man attracted the attention of everyone, especially the lizard men. , looking at the wolf-headed man with extremely hateful eyes.

The wolf-headed man swaggered to the bar, stretched out his hand, took out a few mutant beast crystal cores from his arms, and slapped them on the table with a "pop" sound.

"Boss, here are a few bottles of good liquor. Which one is strong enough? Don't give me the one mixed with water."

"Hey, Langtou, how rich are you? You are so generous. I have never seen you so generous." The bar owner quickly put away the crystal core and then said.

This leader is a small leader who is responsible for patrolling the city. He usually drinks alcohol.

"Haha, it's nothing. It's an unexpected fortune, so I can't keep it. If I have wine today, I will get drunk today. Boss, hurry up, my brothers are still waiting for me to take the wine back!"

"What? You're not drinking this wine alone?" The bar owner was even more surprised. When did this guy become so generous and want to treat him?

"Haha, this wealth belongs to everyone who sees it, so we can only drink together, but you give me a drink first, and I will take a sip first!" Lang Tou said in a low voice, for fear that others would hear.

"Okay, just wait!" The bar owner only wants to make money. The customers give him money and he gives him drinks. He doesn't care about anything else. Anyway, he has a relationship with the two leaders here. The soldiers here don't dare to cause trouble here, but he also He didn't bother to mind the business here. Anyway, he didn't bother to ask about the weird atmosphere today.

Soon, several bottles of liquor were brought over, along with an extra glass.

"This drink counts as my reward." The bar owner said politely.

"Thank you!" Langtou said nothing, raised his neck, downed a glass of wine, and then burped.

"Brothers are still waiting for me to drink, so I won't disturb you boss here!" After saying that, Lang Tou picked up a bag of wine on the counter, held it in his arms and walked out.

Just as he was about to walk out of the bar, he suddenly slipped and almost fell. Since he was holding the drink in his arms, he couldn't keep his balance and bumped directly into the table of the lizard man next to him. Fortunately, the force was not strong, and the table was only broken. The wine glass on the table shook.

The bartender didn't care whether the wine was spilled on the lizard man's table. He turned around and complained to the bar owner: "I told you, boss, there is oil on your floor. You should mop it up instead, hiccup!"

After saying this, Lang Tou walked out without looking back. He walked in such a hurry that a corner of his trouser pocket hung on the corner of the table. He didn't notice it. As a result, when he exerted force, one of his trouser pockets was torn. The hole was not big, so he didn't notice it, but the contents of his trouser pocket fell out.

Lang Tou was anxious to go back to drink and hurried out of the bar without noticing anything he had dropped. But this dropped thing caught the lizard man's attention. It was a ring, and these soldiers had seen this ring before. It was the ring on the hand of their captain.

A soldier quickly bent down to pick up the ring, then brought it to the candlelight on the table and carefully identified it. It was indeed correct.

"Brothers, this is the captain's ring. How could it be in the hands of that wolf-headed man?" a lizard soldier said with a laugh.

"This guy is probably related to the attack on our captain." Another soldier said.

"Well, I think this guy must have been involved in the attack on the captain, otherwise how could he get so much money to drink!" Another soldier also agreed.

"Then what do you think we should do?" one soldier asked, forgetting to ask the others at the table.

"In this way, you take the ring and go to the squadron leader. The rest of us will follow this guy and try to catch him in a place where no one is around." One of them came up with an idea.

"Okay!" the others agreed.

So people at the table left their seats one after another and chased outside the bar.

Soon, these lizardmen soldiers saw the langtou walking staggeringly in front of them. Several lizardmen followed the langtou slowly. At this moment, the lizardman suddenly turned to the alley next to him. , several lizardmen thought that the wolf-headed man had discovered them, and they were all stunned. However, relying on the large number of people, they still chased after him.

As a result, when they arrived at the entrance of the alley, they heard the sound of urinating and running water. These lizard men were relieved, so they quietly turned into the alley.

On the other side, the lizard man holding the ring hurried to their squadron leader's station. He forgot to knock on the door and broke into the squadron leader's bedroom.

The squadron leader was drinking heavily at this time. Too many things had happened in the past two days. The supplies delivered to the leader yesterday were inspected for no reason. Today, the squadron leader was killed again. The found Hydra egg disappeared, which affected them a lot. One of the squadron leaders was called over by the leader for a lesson.

This anger had no place to vent, so I could only go back and drink. Unexpectedly, before I even had a drink, the door was knocked open.

"You're looking for death, you didn't notice that I'm in a bad mood today!" The squadron leader glared at the dumbfounded soldier in front of him and said.

"Captain, I found it, I found it!"

"What the fuck did you find? Tell me clearly."

"The murderer of the captain has been found!"

"What?!" After hearing this, the squadron leader suddenly stood up.

"Captain, look!" As he said this, the soldier handed the captain's ring to the squadron leader.

The squadron leader took it and took a look. It was the ring of the business captain, but the imprint of this space ring had been erased, and the things in the space were gone.

"Where did you get this ring?" the squadron leader asked, staring closely at the soldier.

So the soldier told what happened in the bar.

"Damn it, it was indeed the grandsons of the wolf-headed man who did it. Gather some people for me and catch the murderer!"

"Yes!" The soldier went to gather the team with excitement on his face.

Soon a hundred lizardmen were chasing after Langtou in the direction he left.
