In Jiujiang County, the waves are rolling in the turbulent river.
Ships were shuttling around, but they didn't dare get too close to the river. They had seen many big waves, but this was the first time they had seen a whirlpool forming in the center of the river, which was against common sense.
From the depths of the vortex, blood gushed out from time to time, and a huge shadow flashed from time to time.
Not long after, a huge shadow emerged from the bottom of the river.
It was a snake demon that was over three meters long. There was a big hole at the seven-inch position, and the snake's head was beaten to pieces.
Many people on a passing merchant ship exclaimed in surprise. When the supervisor saw the huge snake corpse lying across the center of the river, he was first shocked, then ecstatic. He looked around and saw that there was no one and no boats, so he immediately ordered a capture.
"It's fitting that I've gotten rich recently..."
The supervisor's face was full of joy.
"Boss, this snake demon has nothing but scales, armor, and teeth, and its internal essence and blood are empty, just as the rumors on the river said before."
"Whatever. Clear out some of the goods to release this snake demon. Scales, flesh, and teeth alone are enough. If there were really menstrual blood, I wouldn't dare to take it out."
The supervisor's face was filled with joy, and the flesh on his face was throbbing with excitement.
Recently, a legend has been circulating among the merchant ships traveling to Jiujiang. Some terrible monster has appeared at the bottom of the river. The corpse of a terrible monster has emerged from the bottom of the river in the cafeteria. All its blood and essence have been sucked out, leaving only scales and flesh, and no one wants it.
If you are lucky enough to pick up such a monster, you can make a fortune.
After all, Jiujiang County is the largest trading port, but the ships coming and going usually transport rare goods from the south to the north, and rare goods from the north to the south.
The profit value is extremely high, but the risks are still quite large. If you get the corpse of a monster, you can sell it easily. It is an extremely popular commodity both in the south and the north.
"I don't know what kind of monster appeared at the bottom of the river..."
The sailors in charge of the salvage were worried that there might be terrible monsters under the water that would devour them in the future, but the supervisor didn't care at all.
Although there are many rumors at present, this mysterious monster seems to only kill monsters and does not seem to cause much harm to humans at present.
Even if there are injuries, the merchant ship also has top martial artists. If such a powerful monster can be hunted down, it will be of great benefit.
Jiujiang County is located on a small island in the middle of the river not far from the huge plaque.
There was an urgent discussion going on at this moment.
"Which one is this?"
"It's the eighth one, and it's a powerful demon that has already entered the True Essence level. We're being targeted."
"Could it be an official? Is it the Imperial Guard or the Six Gates?"
"It can't be them. If they were the ones who did it, the monster's corpse would definitely be taken away as a reward. But so far, only one bronze-medal captain has taken a monster's corpse to claim the reward. I've investigated the origins of the corpse. He bought it from a caravan..."
"Is that something under the water?"
"Is it true that there's a water zombie living underwater, as the ancient legends of Daxia say?"
Many people from the Land of the Rising Sun were very confused.
After arriving in Jiujiang County, they lay dormant for more than ten years and cultivated dozens of monsters in the land. Each of them took them a lot of time and effort to raise.
Now eight of them died for no reason, which was like cutting flesh from their chests.
They claim to be well-informed, but they still haven't found anything.
Each demon was targeted and killed when it was dispatched in areas where merchant ships circulated, and died very quickly, leaving no time for support.
Moreover, since there were too many merchant ships in the area where the merchant ships were located, they did not dare to send a large number of demons to support them, for fear of causing chaos and attracting the attention of the Six Gates and the Embroidered Uniform Guard.
When they lost three demons before, they thought it was just an accident until the eighth demon died in succession.
Even if they were slow to react, they understood that someone must be targeting them in secret, perhaps some kind of strange demon.
"It must be some strange monster. If it is a human, the monster's spiritual armor, flesh, and blood are extremely valuable and will not be abandoned."
"If it were official, their actions wouldn't be so disorganized and unplanned. They wouldn't give up on such a great achievement."
On the small island in the middle of the river, the people who came here to discuss things all looked unhappy.
"Is there not even a single clue? Are we being made a fool of like monkeys?"
"We sent out shikigami to investigate, but they were very sensitive and could detect us from a very long distance, which made the shikigami very uneasy."
"So, it's really possible that it's some kind of strange evil existence?"
Doihara spoke first, frowning as the intelligence officer for the entire area.
In the past, there were frequent reports of victory. They integrated into the building little by little without attracting the attention of others. Moreover, the power they cultivated in secret was also growing continuously. There were reports of victory from all over Jiangnan.
Even in the southeastern coastal area, a top family was contacted. It was thought that after such a large-scale encroachment, the Kingdom of the Rising Sun would be able to truly advance westward in the near future.
I never thought that things would suddenly go wrong starting some time ago.
In the most hidden base of Jianyi, the monsters bred in the complex maze-like base were all captured in one fell swoop, and even the entire intelligence network of Jianyi was crushed.
Originally, there were two important female spies who survived. However, shortly after the intelligence was released, the two intelligence personnel who were originally planning to change their identities and develop in other areas were killed by the Jinyiwei personnel in the underground river.
