Chapter 186 The Drowning Curse Incident
"How strange, apart from the skeleton, all the other parts are gone." Nan Jue frowned and said with some doubt.
"Jiang Yu, what kind of demon is this?"
Hua Yu glanced at his fellow disciples and asked.
Being able to distinguish the types of demons by their leg hair is no joke; Jiang Yu can actually do it.
While Zhao Manyan was looking at Hua Yu speechlessly, Jiang Yu had already searched his mind for relevant information.
"The Sea Mammoth is a type of sea monster with the upper body of an ancient giant elephant and the lower body of a whale. They generally do not appear in human-occupied waters, but live in the deep sea of the Pacific Ocean."
Jiang Yu spoke at length about the information about the skeleton in front of him, while Zhao Manyan, standing to the side, was already dumbfounded, his jaw almost dropping to the ground.
Really?
Can you identify a demon by its skeleton?
Isn't this even more impressive than recognizing a woman by looking at her legs?
Zhao Manyan was filled with admiration for Jiang Yu at this moment. If he could learn this skill, wouldn't he no longer be afraid of those "back view killers"?
Jiang Yu had no idea what Zhao Manyan was thinking, and continued to analyze for everyone, "The weakest of these creatures is at the level of a Grand Commander, while the one in front of us, I estimate, has strength close to that of a monarch."
"Gah!"
monarch?
Upon hearing Jiang Yu utter the word "monarch," the group, who hadn't felt anything before, were instantly terrified and broke out in a cold sweat.
"What the hell? There's a monarch nearby? Oh, right, we need to hurry up and challenge the National Pavilion, lest those five menopausal instructors come looking for trouble again," Zhao Manyan said seriously.
"With Lao Ai and the others at the National Tournament, you don't need to worry about it." Hua Yu glanced at the guy with annoyance.
He thought to himself: Looks like I need to find an opportunity to take this guy out for some excitement.
Running away from trouble, how is that any different from Zujiming?
Old Zhao, we can't be like Emperor Taizu Ji Ming!
Of course, despite saying that, Hua Yu still let Nan Jue, Zhao Manyan, and the others leave in the end, leaving only Mo Fan behind.
After all, this level of incident cannot be resolved simply by having more people.
After everyone left, Mo Fan asked excitedly, "Old Hua, what did you say?"
"What do you mean?" Hua Yu asked, puzzled.
"It's about these bones!" Mo Fan said excitedly.
This skeleton thing is way more exciting than the National Pavilion challenge!
"Oh, I don't know about that either." Hua Yu shook her head.
"Then why did you send the others away?"
"I didn't send them away. I just felt that we've been a team for so long, but we haven't done a mission together yet. Why don't we do it together this time?" Hua Yu said with a smile.
"Of course." Upon hearing Hua Yu's suggestion, Mo Fan clapped his hands in agreement and then continued, "This time, let's have our two top hunters from Qingtian Hunting Grounds resolve this matter cleanly and efficiently, so as to truly make our name known."
Two-sided cards?
Well said, but don't say it again!
"By the way, do you have any clues?" Mo Fan then asked.
"No," Hua Yu answered truthfully.
"No, then why do you look so confident?" Mo Fan said, somewhat speechless.
Upon hearing this question, Hua Yu smiled and replied, "Our team back then didn't consist of just two people."
Hua Yu knew about the Drowning Curse, but at the moment he had absolutely no clue about it.
He excels at combat, but when it comes to investigation, there's clearly someone far more skilled than him.
-
The next morning, a little girl with pigtails knocked on Huayu's door.
It wasn't fully light yet.
Lingling is indeed more proactive than anyone else.
Hua Yu did not directly ask Lingling to investigate the matter of the Bone Giant Ship, but instead asked her to investigate the matter of the Drowning Curse.
After studying the Drowning Curse in the room for a while, the two went to meet up with Mo Fan at dawn.
"A bounty pool?"
Mo Fan didn't care what the Drowning Curse was, but when Lingling mentioned the Bounty Pool, his eyes lit up.
Mo Fan completely forgot about the skeletons on the beach.
As long as the money is right, the task can be changed immediately!
A total of 350 million!
Even if the three of them split it equally, that's still over a hundred million each.
Not only that, their hunter rank can also be raised by one level, getting closer and closer to becoming a hunter king.
"According to my investigation, this is the place where drowning curses occur most frequently." Lingling handed her notebook between the two of them.
On the screen, the small red dots circled represent those who died from the drowning curse.
The area with the highest concentration of red dots is this coastal city.
This year alone, eight people have died here.
The three split into two groups, each heading to one of the four companies to conduct an investigation.
-
A small courtyard entwined with violet vines.
"This is our last place, isn't it?" Lingling asked Huayu, standing at the entrance of the courtyard.
Between Hua Yu and Mo Fan, she still chose to run over to Hua Yu.
"Um?"
Just as Hua Yu was about to answer Lingling's question, a faint stench wafted into his nose. He couldn't help but frown, then said, "I think we should have found it."
"What do you mean?"
"It's not clear yet, but let's go in and take a look."
As the two were talking, a disheveled drunkard carrying a bottle of liquor suddenly walked over, pointed at Hua Yu and Lingling, and said drunkenly, "Hey, who are you people? What are you doing at my doorstep?"
"Is anyone home? I think I smell blood." Hua Yu deliberately sniffed and then pointed to the room in front of him.
"What?"
Upon hearing this, the drunkard sobered up instantly, quickly pulled out his keys, and led the two men into the house.
As soon as the door opened, a stench immediately assaulted the senses.
The three looked inside and saw a man chained up, who was actually using a small knife to cut his wrists to collect blood, and then he drowned himself by immersing his face in the blood.
Extremely bizarre!
"Noko!"
Bobby, the alcoholic, was on the verge of a breakdown when he saw this.
She had already locked her younger brother at home, so why couldn't she escape the curse of drowning?
First the older brother, then the younger brother; within three months, Bobby lost two of his brothers.
Although he was heartbroken, he was still very cooperative in answering Lingling and Huayu's questions, recounting the whole story.
As Lingling listened, she performed a thorough examination of Noko's body from top to bottom.
Soon, she noticed something strange in the blood next to the body. She took out a vacuum bag, carefully put the foreign object inside, and prepared to investigate it thoroughly when she got back.
After finishing these tasks, Lingling slowly stood up, took off her gloves, and said directly to Bobby, "Would you like to find a skilled dissect the body?"
Bobby was stunned when he heard a little girl say such a thing in such a calm tone.
That's my own brother!
How can this be allowed?
