Mayor Li is a slightly plump middle-aged man, about 40 years old, with thick eyebrows, big eyes, and strong features. At first glance, he is a man of integrity.
Seeing the visitor take out the Lu family token, he hurried forward and said , "Is it the Lu family's immortal? He is indeed a young talent, worthy of being a member of the Lu family. I am Li Zhongdao, the mayor of Yulin Town. The immortal has just arrived, so I am sorry for not welcoming him in person. The banquet in my humble abode is ready, please come."
When Lu Ping heard this, he felt a little embarrassed and couldn't stand the mayor's enthusiasm. He hurriedly said, "I'm ashamed that I can't be called an immortal. Mayor Li, you can just call me Lu Ping."
Although the Lu family built a large formation to protect the mortals who ruled Chongming Island, they did not contribute anything and were just blessed by their ancestors, so they did not deserve such praise.
Mayor Li saw that the Immortal Master of the Lu Family had given his name and told him that he didn't need to call him Immortal Master but could just call him by his name. He seemed to be a person with a good temper, but he was not worthy of being called by his name.
So he changed the subject and said, "The Immortal Master came here for the monster that stole the crops in the spiritual valley."
When he heard Mayor Li addressing him as Immortal, he realized that although mortals and immortals have a lot of contact, there is still a clear distinction. Then when he heard Mayor Li start talking about business, he stopped worrying about the address.
"Mayor Li, Lu Ping came here this time because he was entrusted by his family to deal with the monsters. Please take me to the spiritual field to check it out so that we can make plans early."
"Of course." Speaking of this monster, Li Zhongdao's expression became solemn, and resentment appeared on his face.
"It's all because of that damned monster. This year's spiritual fields and crops have been destroyed a lot, with a reduction of at least 10%. Immortal Master Lu, you must help Yulin Town get rid of that damned disaster!"
The spiritual field is not in Yulin Town, but in a low-lying valley three miles east of Yulin Town. It is surrounded by hills and lush trees.
There are about ten large spiritual fields and seven or eight small spiritual fields in the valley, totaling more than twenty acres, with each spiritual field separated by several meters.
Lu Ping naturally knew the reason for doing this. The growth of the spiritual grains in the spiritual field requires spiritual energy just like the cultivation of cultivators. If they are too concentrated, the spiritual energy will be diluted, and if they are too separated, it will lead to a waste of spiritual energy. Therefore, every year when planting spiritual grains, the Lu family will send cultivators to perform spiritual observation techniques to observe where the spiritual energy is concentrated and adjust the size of the spiritual field.
However, the total cultivated area will not change much unless there are fundamental changes in the surrounding terrain.
Li Zhongdao took Lu Ping to a small spiritual field in the north.
Pointing to the Linggu crops that were bare in the middle.
“This is it!”
"That damned monster, we discovered its tracks destroying the Spirit Valley half a month ago. We set traps and blocked the main roads to prevent the beast from escaping. But the beast fell into the trap and started to act violently. We found that it was just a spirited wild boar. After a loud roar, a yellow light enveloped it, and swords and knives could not hurt it. As a result, it caused a lot of casualties. We really had no choice but to watch the beast escape."
"And the monster came again yesterday. This time it ate a lot of spiritual grains before it left. It was not afraid of swords and knives at all. We dare not drive it away, for fear that it would trample on more spiritual grains before the Immortal Master arrives."
"The trees are thick in the wild, and it's hard to find traces."
Li Zhongdao was the one gritting his teeth.
Apart from an abandoned spiritual spring discovered half a year ago, there are no new resources for cultivating immortals in the town. The spiritual grains planted in the only spiritual fields are not earthly grain crops, and they can only be planted once a year.
The 70% that was handed over to the Lu family had already been determined based on the number of acres of spiritual fields, and would not be reduced at all because of the rampage of monsters. Moreover, if there were any losses, the Lu family would have to come and determine the amount, and if the losses were too great, someone would have to bear the responsibility.
Once the Lu family punishes us, it will be bad to lose the good job of cultivating spiritual fields.
This monster not only destroyed the spiritual grain, but it was also likely to make them lose the opportunity to grow the spiritual grain. How could they not hate it?
Lu Ping naturally knew the rules. His subsequent report was related to the livelihood of Mayor Li and his party. Mayor Li said this to prove that he had indeed tried his best and was not doing nothing. He hoped that he could continue to plant spiritual fields. After all, the benefits of planting spiritual fields were far greater than those of ordinary fields.
However, we cannot just listen to one side of the story. We still have to look at the scene. If it was really done by a monster, we naturally would not blame them.
Carefully walk into this spiritual field that has been ravaged by monsters, push aside the surrounding crops, and you can see signs of being gnawed everywhere, as well as some fragments and a few fresh tooth marks on the plants.
Lu Ping made a hand gesture with his right hand and performed the spirit-revealing shadow technique on the surroundings, revealing a mess of spiritual shadows.
"It does fit the body shape described by Mayor Li and the others, and it does show signs of spiritual energy casting."
"And the yellow shroud, according to the records in the classics, should be the monster's innate spell Huangshan, which increases physical resistance. The resistance to spells is very low, and the innate spell consumption is very low, so it can be cast for a long time."
"It seems that Mayor Li and his men did not lie."
"It's a pity that this is the first time I've come across the information given in the system task interface. I don't know how much content it contains, otherwise it would be easier to judge."
He stood up and said to Mayor Li, "I have already found out that it was indeed the work of a monster."
After hearing the Lu family's immortal's assessment of the matter, Mayor Li secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He was still worried that someone with a bad temper would come and he would be so sad that he would not be able to cry if he punished them.
Three days later, as the sun slowly set, the sky was filled with stars. Lu Ping performed the Breath Retention Technique to hold his breath, holding the magic weapon Weak Water Sword and standing on a tree around the spiritual field, overlooking the entire spiritual field. The stars were scattered above his head, and his body was hidden in a dense tree. With the help of the moonlight above his head, his eyes scanned the area around the spiritual field.
Mayor Li led the spiritual field guards to patrol back and forth according to the usual route, but they dimmed the lights around the spiritual field.
Lu Ping himself has spiritual eyes, so it doesn't matter if it's a little dark. He dims the lights just to lure the monster into the trap.
Lu Ping knew that the key to this mission was to kill the monster, but the whereabouts of that guy could not be determined, so he could only wait for him to fall into the trap.
Outside Yulin Town, the trees are dense and the forests are thick, especially around the spiritual fields. Moreover, the spiritual shadow technique is unable to track traces of time that is too long, and can only discover traces of places where monsters have stayed for a long time.
And if the monster had not attacked the spiritual field again the day before he arrived, those traces of spiritual energy would probably have disappeared long ago.
There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!
If it was done by a cultivator, he would not have fallen for this strategy of waiting for the rabbit to come to him. However, the innate intelligence of monsters is not as good as that of humans, and the two crimes were committed in the same spiritual field, which is obviously a sign of average intelligence.
According to the last track, the monster will commit a crime in half a month at most, and then I will kill it with my flying sword. The monster defense spell Huangshan is nothing to the magic weapon. With the speed of the weak water sword, I can catch up with the monster even if I am far away. The disguise here is to prevent the monster from having the ability to sense spiritual energy.
All monsters have certain innate spells, but most of the monsters' innate spells are average, and some are even inferior to the basic five elements spells.
The monks knew how to use weapons, and the magic weapons were so powerful that even defensive spells would be broken.
Instead of fighting among monks, it is better to practice body skills to dodge the moves. After all, what is the use of a move that cannot hit, no matter how powerful it is.
The conditions for monsters are not as good as those for humans, and there is no complete monster inheritance in the Whirlpool Sea.
"I hope today will be successful," Lu Ping thought to himself.
He has been waiting for three days, but the monster has not appeared. He only hopes that it will come today.
In order to be able to launch the flying sword to kill the monster in the first place, Lu Ping did not dare to rest at this time, lest he miss the opportunity. Three to five days would be fine, but mistakes would inevitably occur over time.

Just when Lu Ping was thinking about all sorts of things, suddenly, there was a sound coming from the spiritual field. Lu Ping hurriedly took a closer look and found that it was a huge black shadow, about three meters tall, which was resting on the spiritual field that had been destroyed.
Suddenly, the guards of Lingtian shouted.
In an instant, the night when the cicadas' chirping could be heard suddenly became lively, and the cicadas' chirping stopped.
"Where is it, stop him quickly."
“Hurry up and ask the immortal master for help,” shouted Li Zhongdao, the mayor of Yulin Town.
"Men in armor, surround it quickly and don't let the beast escape," Mayor Li was giving orders again.
The monster was not in a hurry when it saw that it had alarmed the human guarding the spiritual field. Perhaps it had already figured out that these humans were strong on the outside but weak on the inside after the previous two times.
As long as these humans don't threaten it, it won't move and will just keep eating the spiritual grains, thinking in its big head, "The grass here is still delicious."
At the same time, Lu Ping used his spiritual eyes to see that the monster was not paying any attention to mortals and was only focused on eating, so he couldn't help but sneer twice. He pinched his fingers and used the Swift Wind Step to get rid of his disguise, jumped down from the tree and ran towards the monster, while using the Object Control Technique to maintain control of the Weak Water Sword.
Seeing that the monster did not run away when he approached it within 50 meters, he stopped hesitating and immediately drew the Weak Water Sword. The guards on the scene only saw a blue flash passing through the air.
