The mayor glanced at Lan Ziye, thought for a moment, and then said, "Actually, it wasn't necessarily a monster that killed them. No one knows the specific circumstances, but the whole village died overnight!"

"What do you mean by not understanding?" Chu Xixuan asked with a cold face.

"Oh! This is what happened. Three years ago, I remember it was the second day of February. Early in the morning, someone went to the police station to report that Jiangjia Village had been wiped out and all the villagers had died!" When the mayor said this, he swallowed his saliva, with fear in his eyes.

He calmed down a bit and continued, "Because it was a serious matter, I followed the report. It was truly horrific. There was not a single survivor in the entire village. Only complete skeletons remained. They didn't look like they had just died, but rather like they had been dead for many years. The key point is that people were still entering and leaving the village the day before, and everyone in the village was still fine at that time! This is obviously something that no human being could do!"

"What's even more bizarre is that those bones can't be touched at all. The slightest touch will instantly turn them into dust! It's causing panic in our entire town."

"This matter is obviously beyond the ability of the police to handle, so our town paid a demon catcher to come, but the demon catcher didn't even see the shadow of the demon!" sighed the mayor.

"A year later, I saw that the situation had calmed down, and it wasn't a big deal that the land in Jiangjia Village would always be left uncultivated, so I introduced a policy to encourage it. Anyone who settled in Jiangjia Village to farm would have their land cultivated for free, and the houses there would also be free for them to live in. I could also help with the procedures for property ownership and land certificates. Anyway, everyone in Jiangjia Village had died, and there were so many empty houses that were useless. I thought that if the descendants of Jiangjia Village came back and asked for the houses, we would talk about it later!"

"With land and houses free, there are naturally some brave enough to go. But everyone who went in died overnight. Their deaths were just like those of the people in Jiangjia Village three years ago. They were all reduced to bones, and the slightest touch would turn them to ashes. It was extremely strange! With something like this happening again, no one would want to go to Jiangjia Village, even if you offered them the biggest reward."

"Later, I found several monster catchers to catch it. I spent a lot of money, but I didn't even see the shadow of the monster. It's really... Oh! I have no choice!" The mayor sighed.

Lan Ziye and Chu Xixuan looked at each other in bewilderment. This act of cannibalism didn't seem like something a lizard demon could do!

"Jiang Qiao, do you know him?" Lan Ziye asked impatiently.

"Jiang Qiao?" The mayor thought for a moment and said, "I don't have much impression!" At this point, the mayor said a little embarrassedly, "Although the population of Jiangjia Village is not large, I don't know everyone."

Suddenly, he seemed to have thought of something and said, "Maybe Jiang Hu recognizes him!"

"Jiang Hu?" Lan Ziye asked curiously.

"Jiang Hu is the person who came to the police station to report the case on February 2nd. Jiang Hu used to be uneducated and fond of gambling. He often went to the underground gambling house in our town to play all night long. Oh! Unexpectedly, this gambling habit saved his life. However, this incident was a big blow to him. Since then, Jiang Hu has become silent and no longer goes to the underground gambling house. I think he is the only survivor in Jiangjia Village and he is quite pitiful, so I arranged a job for him in the town!" said the mayor.
