Chapter 1285 Hunting

Three months ago, when Joann followed Professor Moriarty to recuperate in the hot spring town, a series of serial murders happened there.

Joan got involved by accident, and later assisted the great detective Ted Pinkerton to solve the case.

The inside story of the murder case is more complicated, involving the grievances between Kaufman and his son, as well as the bloody and brutal adult trials of the bog people.

Gudra, a noble young boggad, and his uncle, elder Gumodo, a boggard shaman, also played a disgraceful role in the murder.

Of course, Gua's uncle and nephew may not be willing to admit this, after all, there is a deep cultural gap between the boggard tribe and human society.

Guadela was imprisoned after being arrested. Seeing this old acquaintance at this moment, Qiao An couldn't help but feel puzzled. It has only been three months since the murder case was solved. How could Gudela be released?

Did he escape from prison, or did he attempt to kill someone for a lesser crime, and was lucky to be given a suspended sentence by the court?

Suddenly, Qiao An thought of a series of questions.

As a famous nobleman of the Gurga tribe, why is Gudella wandering in the wilderness alone with a big knife? The situation looked rather bleak.

There is also the bog witch who is peeping at Gudella with a crystal ball. Look at her sneaky behavior, it seems that she is afraid that Gudera will find out that she is secretly following and peeping. What is the plan?

The questions that emerged in his mind one after another made Qiao An curious, and turned his eyes to the crystal ball again.

In the crystal ball, Guadra was holding a big knife, half kneeling in a bush, with a stern expression, and gazing into the distance with murderous eyes, as if he was waiting for his prey.

Joan also noticed that there were many blood-stained wounds on Gudella's body. It seemed that he had fought fiercely with people during this time.

What caught Joan's attention in particular was a leather rope that Gudella was wearing slung across his body. A string of severed palms were worn on the leather lock. Chopped loot.

This bloody and brutal scene made Joan feel a little sick to his stomach, but in the end curiosity prevailed, prompting him to continue to observe the string of severed hands collected by Gudella.

At first, Joan thought it was a human palm, but upon closer inspection, the severed palm had only four fingers, with sucker-like organs on the pads, and a thin and flexible webbed membrane between the fingers, which looked more like a bog toad Human forelimbs.

"Guadra, is it possible that he betrayed the Gurga tribe and is assassinating his own people?"

Joan secretly became suspicious.

At this time, a new figure appeared in the picture reflected in the crystal ball.

Just in front of the lurking bushes of Gudra, in the mud overgrown with mangroves, a figure jumped up, carrying an obsidian spear on his shoulder.

The man's jumping ability was amazing, he kicked his legs on the ground, and easily jumped ten yards away, and his figure was also half human and half frog.

At first, Joan thought that the newcomer was also of the same kind as Gudla, a bogman warrior, but soon saw that there was a significant difference in the appearance of the other party and Gudla.

Compared to the boggard, the guy was slimmer, lighter, bright green, with black stripes on his back, and his skin was smoother, without the many tumorous warts like the boggard .

If Gudella is seven parts like a human and three parts like a toad, the newcomer is seven parts like a human and three parts like a frog.

Although the two have similar characteristics of amphibians and anurans, they belong to two completely different species.

Joan recalled the "Humanoid Monsters" sub-volume of "Wares Monster Illustrated Book", especially those species similar to the boggards, and thought of the indigenous history and folklore of the Baden area, and a look of suddenness appeared in his eyes .

That half-man, half-frog monster must be the legendary "Frogman".

Many years ago, there was a tribe of bullyfrogs in the Baden Wetlands. Because of competing for territory with the boggards, a fierce conflict broke out. They were defeated by the boggards and forced to flee their homes. They have never been heard from since.

After many years, the bully frogs have returned to the Baden Wetlands, which is not good news for the boggards.

Joan's gaze returned to Gudella again.

The sharp edge flashed in the eyes of the boggard noble young man, indicating that he had already launched a murderous plan on that bully frog. To be more precise, Gudella has been squatting here tirelessly, just waiting for such an opportunity to hunt and kill the single bully frog!

Realizing this, Joan suddenly realized that the string of bloody severed palms that Gudella carried with him were all cut off from the bully frog!

The bully frogman with the spear on his shoulder was unaware of the imminent crisis. He looked down at the pond beside him and saw ripples on the surface of the water. There was a hint of joy on his face. He tiptoed to the edge of the pond, quietly Picking up the spear with the obsidian tip, he stabbed at the water with a swish.

puff! The muffled sound of sharp blades piercing through flesh and blood came from below the surface of the water, and the splashed waves were tinged with blood.

The bullyrog raised his spear, and a fat fish was stuck on the point of the spear, still struggling and writhing.

The bully frogman grinned triumphantly, flung out his long and flexible tongue, entangled the fat carp, tore it off the spear blade, retracted his tongue, and swallowed the carp into his wide mouth, with scales and bones Chewing greedily.

He just buried his head in eating fish here, and Gudella came over quietly with a big knife in the bushes behind him.

Gudella could have taken advantage of the bully frogger's defenselessness and stabbed him to death with a knife in the back. However, this chivalrous young boggard man didn't sneak up immediately, he stopped ten feet behind the bully frog, and suddenly let out an angry shout!

The bully frogman trembled in fright at the roar from behind, dropped his spear to the ground, and turned his head to look in panic.

Gudella was very disdainful of his panicked reaction, snorted coldly, pointed at the spear that fell on the ground with a knife, and said in a deep voice: "Coward! Pick up your weapon and fight me!"

Joan heard that Gudella did not speak the ethnic language of the swamp people, but used "aquarium language", which is the "common language" of aquatic and amphibious intelligent creatures.

Hearing Gudla's scolding, the bully frogman's eyes suddenly bulged, and he looked at the murderous bogman warrior opposite him with suspicion, and asked hoarsely.

"Guqua? You kid, are you the 'killer' who has been wandering around this area recently?"

Gudella waved his knife impatiently: "Stop talking nonsense! Green-skinned bastard, you should be honored to die under my knife!"

"Cack! Damn toad, what a loud tone!"

The bully frog hurriedly grabbed the spear, took a big step forward, held up the long obsidian hair with both hands, and stabbed Gudra's chest fiercely with anger in his heart!
