While Yue Jiuli was secretly investigating the room, in the innermost room on the fifth floor, Tanlang was having his dressing changed by the doctor.
Tanlang was deeply hurt by Qiyou this time, and he also knew Qiyou's personality. He knew that if Qiyou found out that he was still alive, he would definitely come back to kill him. So for the past few days, Tanlang has been lying in his room to recover from his injuries, without leaving the room even once.
The accompanying doctor was a kangaroo spirit; it was unclear where they had found him. After bandaging the wolf's wound, the doctor cautioned, "Remember not to move around. Your wound is too close to a blood vessel; be careful."
"Okay, I understand."
Greedy Wolf lay on the bed, not daring to move around too much. He looked at Dr. Kangaroo and said, "By the way, when will my injury heal? I've already used magic to heal it."
The doctor said, "It's hard to say. You need to be careful. Don't eat anything for now. Remember, you can only eat liquids in the early stages."
After bandaging Tanlang, the doctor changed out of his own clothes and put on a regular guard's uniform before leaving the ward. Before leaving, he said, "I'm going to Lord Shuijiao's place now. If you need anything, come find me."
"Okay, sure~"
After the kangaroo doctor left, a wolf guard in the ward poured a glass of water for Tanlang and fed him with a straw. There was no other way; Tanlang could only lie down and couldn't move around freely.
Watching his loyal subordinates taking care of him, Tanlang sighed softly and said, "Sigh~ How is Lord Shuijiao doing now? Is he going to go out and retake this town? Have you noticed anything unusual at the inn these past few days?"
The subordinate taking care of Tanlang was a wolf demon who had followed Tanlang since the wolf clan. He was absolutely loyal to Tanlang. The subordinate said, "There's been no movement from Lord Shuijiao's side. He's also recuperating in the hotel like you. As for retaking this town, we'll continue to send the brothers out to cause trouble. Isn't this place always about respecting the strong? Let's send the brothers out to investigate those people first. However, things weren't very peaceful in the hotel today. A swarm of poisonous wild bees came in last night. I don't know who stirred them up. They've affected all three floors. Fortunately, there was a barrier in your room, so they couldn't get in. After dealing with them and driving them away, we're still investigating."
Tanlang listened to his subordinate's report and nodded, saying, "Lord Shuijiao's matter is a minor one. Your main task is to keep an eye on your subordinates and make sure they don't cause too much trouble. Also, investigate the poisonous wild bees thoroughly, and be careful that someone else doesn't provoke them."
Tanlang knew about the poisonous wild bees, but he was also worried that something else might have deliberately provoked them, because he knew that people who knew him generally wouldn't provoke such things. Of course, he needed to investigate first to find out if that was the case.
"Don't worry, boss, I know what to do."
The subordinate lowered his head and replied with an expression that said, "I know what to do."
After the kangaroo spirit doctor left Tanlang's room, he went straight up the stairs to the sixth floor to the room of the two-headed water dragon. At this time, Yue Jiuli's insects finally dawdled down the stairs to the sixth floor.
Inside the room, Yue Jiuli only saw a person dressed as a guard go to the last room on the sixth floor, and then he came out again shortly afterward.
Yue Jiuli remembered that room; it was the room of the two-headed water dragon.
Now that she knew whose room it was, Yue Jiuli wasn't too concerned about what they were doing inside. She simply planned to continue checking the remaining rooms one by one.
However, just as Yue Jiuli was controlling the little beetle to go to the last room the guard had entered, she found that the guard had changed out of his guard clothes and put on a white coat, turning into a doctor again, and a kangaroo spirit doctor at that!
Upon seeing this situation, Yue Jiuli was immediately excited and also thought of another way to find Tanlang.
It's easy to guess that the doctor changed clothes and went out to treat someone. The person who made him change clothes like that must mean that the patient is extraordinary. But here, besides Tanlang and Shuangshou Shuijiao, who else could be extraordinary? The answer is obvious: no one.
So, once she realized that she could find the Greedy Wolf on this doctor, Yue Jiuli immediately ordered the little bug to approach the doctor and smell his scent.
Although the insect's sense of smell wasn't very good, it could still remember a few scents. So, it quickly detected two identical bloody smells, along with several other scents, from the kangaroo doctor.
Of the two bloody smells, one belonged to snakes, and the little insects had already identified it as the smell of a two-headed water dragon. The other smell was located in two places: one on the fifth floor and the other on the seventh floor.
When Yue Jiuli heard the little bug tell her that she smelled two different bloody scents, she was immediately delighted. She knew that one of the scents must be that of Tanlang. There were hardly any other guards injured anymore; the injured ones had been gathered on the seventh floor. This information was just obtained by the little bug from Yue Jiuli's earlier investigation, so Yue Jiuli was certain that the remaining scent must be that of Tanlang.
Unexpectedly, she discovered such a crucial clue after exploring just one floor, and Yue Jiuli couldn't help but feel overjoyed. However, she wasn't in a hurry to find Tanlang. Instead, she circled around the kangaroo spirit again, and after confirming that these were the only scents, she slowly climbed out and headed towards the fifth floor.
