Fang Si really had no idea what to do about this.
As the county magistrate finally agreed to post the notice, Fang Si followed the servants of the county government office to the guest room to rest.
However, along the way, Fang Si cursed the county magistrate in his heart for being a bunch of brats who were not worth discussing with.
At the same time, as Fang Si returned to the residence arranged for him by the county magistrate, he immediately took out the token.
Although he had noticed a crack in the token before, he only took a quick glance and did not look closely because he was busy looking for the county magistrate and had no time to look.
Only now did Fang Si begin to observe carefully.
Looking at the cracks on the token, Fang Si's heart sank to the bottom.
He was sure that when he first got the token, there was absolutely no such crack on it. Moreover, although the token was made of jade, he could also guarantee that it had not been bumped during this period of time.
"It wasn't damaged by external force, but the cracks appeared on their own. Then, why is that?"
As he began to think, Fang Si also began to organize all the information he knew.
At present, his identity is known, no, the identity of his original body. He should be under the command of that marquis, and is in a department specializing in exorcism.
This time, the reason why they appeared on the barren mountain was because the county magistrate of Qingshan County discovered the incident of Shadow Goblin injuring people and reported it to the Marquis. Only after the Marquis agreed did he send them here to exorcise the demon.
However, what they didn't expect was that Shadow Xiao was too powerful and directly wiped out their team.
However, when he thought of this, Fang Si frowned again.
There are a few things that don't make sense in this reasoning process. First, if they all died on the barren mountain, then why was there no blood on the ground when he came through, and no injuries on his body?
Moreover, if the jade pendant can really withstand strange attacks, why is his token intact?
It’s not that Fang Si has dark thoughts, but if this type of token can really withstand strange attacks, then the token on his body should be intact.
As he thought about these questions, he thought about it again.
There is no blood on the barren mountain. This may be because Shadow Goblin has the ability to devour blood. Moreover, if he kills people by devouring blood, then it makes sense that there are no wounds on the surface of his body.
Therefore, Fang Si judged Shadow Mandrill's ability to be at least four points.
Bloodsucking, cutting, as well as hiding and bewitching.
These characteristics, blood-sucking was judged from the fact that there was no trace of blood at the scene, and cutting was judged from the body of Lu Gong who had lost both legs.
As for his disappearance, it was because Fang Si believed that there was a high possibility that Shadow Mana had followed him down the mountain, and he knew nothing about it during the journey.
As for bewitchment, it involves jade tokens.
After analyzing the problem of the jade token, Fang Si believed that it was very likely that they were bewitched and left by the shadow goblin while they were still alive.
This also explains why his jade pendant was not damaged.
As for why he was not bewitched but directly damaged the jade token, Fang Si speculated that it was because the shadow goblin was also injured in the fight with them and could not use any other means now.
As for Baihu Lu Gong's jade pendant, perhaps because he was an alien, Ying Xiao's bewitching tactics did not completely work, so his jade pendant did not really leave his body.
Thinking of this, Fang Si narrowed his eyes and reached out to touch the jade pendant in his arms.
"So, if Baihu Lugong and Yingxiao face off head-on, then this ghost thing will probably be seriously injured."
Although what he had said to Li Ziwen before about Shadow Xiao being injured was just a lie, but at this moment, Fang Si was extremely certain that even if Shadow Xiao was not seriously injured, he must have suffered serious injuries. Otherwise, it would be impossible for him to escape after killing hundreds of people.
"Unfortunately, judging by its current form, this thing is invisible and intangible. Even if it has a body, I'm afraid it would be difficult for me to deal with it alone."
Chapter 511: Use fire.
After a moment of silence, Fang Si decided to observe further.
At this stage, even if the county magistrate issued a call for heroes, it would be impossible for him to attract heroes so quickly, at least not today.
And if his guess was correct, this Shadow Goblin would definitely attack at night.
Therefore, this means that he will definitely be attacked by a shadow goblin tonight.
He narrowed his eyes. Since he had to face it, although Fang Si felt a little nervous, he was fully prepared.
He didn't feel too anxious because the jade token was now broken into pieces and could withstand at least five attacks.
As Fang Si began to prepare, the sky gradually changed from early morning to noon, and then to evening.
As the sky got completely dark, this time, because it was the place arranged by the county magistrate, there was an oil lamp serving as a light source in the room where Fang died.
And just at midnight, Fang Si suddenly noticed his shadow changing under the light of the oil lamp.
"I see, Shadow Xiao, Shadow Xiao, so you're hiding in the shadows?
However, if this thing has no physical form, swords and the like won’t be able to hurt it…”
At this moment, Fang Si finally understood why a hundred-man team led by a centurion would be defeated here.
These ghostly and strange creatures are difficult to deal with, and the monsters without a form are even more difficult to deal with.
It is not surprising that the whole group was wiped out by such a monster.
But even though he understood it, Fang Si felt completely fucked up.
Not only did he arrive in ancient times at the beginning, but he also got a small pet to carry with him. His luck is really amazing.
While Fang Si was complaining, he kept trying to chop and burn his own shadow. Only after he was sure that it was useless did he stare at the token he was holding tightly in his hand.
As expected, another crack appeared on the token this time, and it was larger in amplitude and wider in area.
Originally, based on the extent of the first crack, Fang Si predicted that it could withstand five times, but after this crack appeared, Fang Si understood that the token would definitely break in two times at most.
There was silence for a second or two. As the weirdness in the shadow died down again, Fang Si's heart became more anxious.
Two days, no, even if he added half a day now, it would be impossible for him to run from the border of Qingzhou to Jingzhao Yin. Now, he can only rely on himself.
But how can he deal with such a thing on his own?
You know, if it had a physical body, Fang Si could still find a way to trick the county magistrate into killing the monster with human lives, but now, the monster didn't even have a physical body, so even if he wanted to use this trick, it wouldn't work.
In the spacious guest room, as Fang Si fell into deep thought, the oil lamp that was still burning dimmed unnoticed.
In the pitch-black environment, only Fang Si was left, squinting his eyes in deep thought.
If an ordinary person encountered this situation, he would probably have collapsed by now, but Fang Si would not do that.
Although he is just a recent graduate, don't forget that his father is the captain of the criminal police team.
Growing up under the care of his father, the words "surrender" and "compromise" never appear in the dictionary of people like him.
As for why Fang Si was so decisive, it was because of Fang's father's consistent educational purpose.
When facing darkness, we cannot treat it with gentleness, but must burn it with fire.
In extraordinary times, drastic measures must be taken.
……
On the other side, on the barren mountain that Fang Si had just crossed, a young general in bright silver armor was riding a horse with a sword in hand. He grabbed the head of the warhorse under his crotch and made it stop on the top of the mountain.
The young general's face was very young, but his eyes were filled with undisguised arrogance and majestic power.
Although he looked only eighteen or nineteen years old, none of the many soldiers in their twenties and thirties behind him dared to look down on him.
As Huo Qubing stopped at the top of the mountain, Li Gan behind him also jumped off his horse, clasped his fists and said to Huo Qubing.
"Lord, we have already investigated clearly. I am afraid that most of the one hundred brothers led by Lu Gong have died at the hands of Shadow Xiao."
After Li Gan finished his report, Huo Qubing glanced at him lightly, and it was this glance that increased Li Gan's pressure.
Even Li Gan, the famous iron-headed boy and son of the Flying General Li Guang, did not dare to disobey Huo Qubing when he led his troops out.
Because this is the reputation of the two pillars of the Han Dynasty and the Marquis of Guanjun.
Huo Qubing looked at Li Gan calmly and said lightly.
"I've told you many times not to report things piecemeal. This incident is urgent, so I won't delve into it with you. Wait until this is over and you can accept your punishment."
"Yes." Li Gan clasped his fists and continued speaking.
"My Lord, we discovered two things wrong this time. The first is that the clothes on Lu Gong's body are missing, and his sword and the flint used to report his position and ignite the signal fire are also missing.
Secondly, we did not find Shi Changfang's dead body. Like the other brothers, although the bodies were mostly incomplete, there were still some traces. Even if they were killed by wild wolves, there would be bones left.
But when Fang died, it was as if he had escaped, leaving nothing behind."
"No, Lord, we found Fang's sword."
Just as Li Gan was speaking, Zhao Po Nu came up with a knife.
After handing the knife to Huo Qubing, Zhao Po Nu continued.
"My Lord, this knife was found at the foot of the mountain, but we didn't see Fang's body there."
Listening to the two people's reports, Huo Qubing picked up the knife in his hand and took a look.
Most of the swords in the Han Dynasty were ring-handled swords made of hundred-fold tempered steel, and the group of people under Huo Qubing also used this kind of swords.
However, the slight difference is that their knives have their names engraved on the handles.
Looking at the words "Fang Si" on the blade, Huo Qubing raised his eyebrows.
He didn't think Fang Si was deserting the battlefield. After all, few of his subordinates dared to do so.
Therefore, he felt that something must have happened on Fang Si's side that he was not aware of.
Huo Qubing took a look at Fang Si's knife, threw it to Zhao Po Nu, and then said to Li Gan.
"Have you explored the nearby terrain map?"
After hearing what Huo Qubing said, Li Gan took out a topographic map without saying a word.
As Huo Qubing looked at the topographic map, all the nearby arrangements became clear in his eyes.
The barren mountain in front of us is located at the real border of Qingzhou. It can even be said that after crossing this mountain, we will leave Qingzhou and go to Bohai County.
On the side of Chaoli, the nearest villages are Chenjia Village, Lijia Village and Gaojia Village. After passing the villages, further in is the county seat of Qingshan County.
If Fang Si is still alive and has not defected, he will definitely find a way to contact them, and the most likely place is Qingshan County.
Because the meeting point they originally planned was near Qingshan County.
However, since Fang Si took the flint, why didn't he make a signal smoke signal to notify them...
interesting…
Huo Qubing thought for a moment, then turned and gave orders to Li Gan and the others.
"Pass on my military order, the entire army is heading towards Qingshan County."
Chapter 512: Inference about Shadow Mandrill.
Huo Qubing and others tracked them down all the way.
Although Lu Gong only sent his subordinates to handle this operation, Huo Qubing actually came as well, because there was a more difficult thing nearby that he needed to deal with himself.
The Shadow Mandrill can actually also be called the Shadow Mandrill. After the initial report by the county magistrate Li Ziwen, Huo Qubing actually found it on a mountain not far from this barren mountain.
After finding the location, they sent scouts to explore. Finally, they discovered a group of mandrills on a mountain. There were about dozens of mandrills living on the mountain. There were piles of bones underneath, and the number of people they had killed had already exceeded a thousand.
In fact, according to the scouts' investigation, the strength of one of the old mandrills, although not reaching the same peak human combat power as Huo Qubing, is only one step away.
Therefore, Huo Qubing personally led the team and rushed here from Jingzhao Prefecture, just to take advantage of the fact that the old baboon had not yet broken through the realm and strangled it in the cradle.
As for Lu Gong and others, they were chasing a lone mandrill.
As for the exorcism order that Lu Gong carried, it was the investigation order given to him by Huo Qubing when he was a scout.
As for why Fang Si thought it was a killing order, it was purely because although Gong Yang Wan could recognize words, he could not recognize many and mispronounced some words, which led to the deviation of the content of the exorcism order.
As Huo Qubing's men marched towards Qingshan County, Fang Si was also thinking about how to deal with Shadow Goblin.
First, as the sky got brighter, Fang Si went out and asked someone to take him to find Li Ziwen. While Li Ziwen was looking unhappy at being woken up, he asked for the information about Shadow Xiao from the county government.
As the first place to report Shadow Mana, the county government certainly has some information.
However, after Fang Si saw it, he was somewhat disappointed.
In fact, most of this information is about the civilians who were killed. For example, some records say that civilians were sucked to death by blood at night, or were beheaded, etc.
Although this information is useful to the other party, it is of little use.
In silence, he further subdivided the information and then simplified it into a few pieces of information.
