After a while.

The three little squirrels were neatly placed in a row by Lu Ran and the others, shivering.

"Don't be afraid, I'm a good person."

"As long as you answer a few questions, I will let you go."

Lu Ran looked at the three little squirrels kindly.

"Woof!" "Waka!" Mr. Ha and King of Death nodded.

Although I don’t know why Lu Ran wants to capture these three guys, it is true that Lu Ran is a “good guy”.

I hope these three little squirrels can be more sensible.

I have to say, having telepathy is convenient.

Lu Ran conveyed his meaning very clearly.

After understanding, the three little squirrels nodded frantically.

"What were you talking about just now?" Lu Ran asked.

The three little squirrels looked at each other, and the one in the middle started to coo.

[Yesterday, two people fought on the mountain.]

"Two people are fighting on the mountain, and they are also commanding monster-like creatures?" Lu Ran asked.

The little squirrel nodded immediately.

"Two beastmasters?" Lu Ran was slightly stunned.

However, how could two beastmasters be so idle as to come to a place like this to fight?

"Then what?" Lu Ran asked.

【One, died and was buried. 】

[The other one left.]

Lu Ran: ??? “Fuck.” Lu Ran suddenly opened his eyes wide.

He originally thought that the squirrel's talk of killing each other was just a metaphor, simply referring to fighting.

In the end, someone really killed someone?

"What kind of creatures do they command?" Lu Ran continued to ask.

[Dead cat...]

[The other one, I don’t know him, is very scary. ]

"Do you remember where the fight took place? Take me to see it." Lu Ran said.

The three little squirrels looked at each other again, very resistant, but because they were too scared of Lu Ran, they nodded.

A moment later, Lu Ran was taken to the scene of yesterday's fight.

As soon as they arrived here, Lu Ran and Mr. Ha smelled the lingering smell of blood.

Looking at the pile of earth that was only buried perfunctorily but clearly showed signs of burial, Lu Ran's heart began beating rapidly again.

Damn, what’s going on.

Although he has a strong control over animals, when faced with things like murder and death, he still has the mentality of an ordinary high school student.

When faced with this kind of situation, Lu Ran froze in place for a moment, unsure of what to do.

A beastmaster was killed and his body was dumped in the wild! Judging from the scene, the beastmaster who killed people did not look like an official beastmaster.

Otherwise, the corpse would not be handled so casually.

So, was it a vicious murder?

What should I do? Call the police?

Will it cause trouble?

But if we don’t call the police, and if the murderer is a repeat offender and is not caught early, will more people be killed? “Damn squirrel, you made me hear this kind of thing. I will remember this grudge.”

Mr. Ha, the squirrels: ??? Without thinking for long, Lu Ran took a deep breath and decided to contact the authorities.

There is no way. This is the education he received since childhood, and Lu Ran still cannot ignore this kind of thing in his heart.

When he was a child, he liked to learn sword skills because he wanted to be a knight who would draw his sword and help others when he saw injustice.

Even if I give this dream to Mr. Ha now... I should at least set an example for him! "Let's find Xiao Bailong." Lu Ran thought about it and found that he could only contact him.

He should have a way to contact the official beastmaster in Jinling City.

Not long after, Xiaobailong answered the phone.

Xiao Bailong was quite happy to receive Lu Ran's call. He said, "Hey, classmate Xiao Lu, it's been a long time since we last contacted each other."

"Let me guess, you want me to help you solve your school problems? High school is about to start, right?"

"No... I found a body buried in the wilds of the mountains. My boss Ha has a keen sense of smell and determined that the person buried was a beastmaster and his extraordinary pet..."

Little White Dragon: ???

"Fuck." Xiao Bailong also said "Fuck". The last time Lu Ran contacted him, he found a tiger that had escaped. This time he contacted him, he found the body of a beastmaster? This kid, why is he so troublesome?

What do you do all day?

"Where are you? Still in Green Sea City?" Little White Dragon asked hurriedly with a serious expression.

A beastmaster was mysteriously buried in the wild. This is no small matter!

"No, I'm in Jinling City now."

"Jinling? That's easy!" Little White Dragon said, "My former boss has been transferred to the Beast Taming Building in Jinling. I'll give him your contact information."

"Now the public security of each province has been managed separately. I am in Shanghai, so I don't know much about it."

"Okay." Lu Ran nodded.

Afterwards, Xiao Bailong hung up the call with Lu Ran and contacted his old boss.

The call was still connected quickly.

"Team Zhao!"

"Do you still remember the new animal tamer named Lu Ran, whose ancestors for eighteen generations were all related to animals and who was favored by Dr. Gu?"

"I remember! How could I not remember! This time I was transferred to Jinling to take up the post, which made me closer to him. Maybe we'll have a chance to meet in the future."

"He is in Jinling now..." Xiao Bailong quickly described what Lu Ran encountered to his old boss.

There was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone, and the man said anxiously, "Xiao Bai, please give me his contact information. This is urgent."

…

The three-party handover was quick.

"Is this Lu Ran? I'm Xiao Bailong's boss, Zhao Chen. Xiao Bailong has already told me where you are now?"

"I'm at..." Lu Ran quickly told the other party the address.

"Student Lu Ran, thank you for reporting this to the police. This incident is very likely related to a case we are investigating. We will be there immediately. Please be careful over there."

After hanging up the phone, Lu Ran sighed slightly and looked at the buried traces again. It turned out that things were not simple.

The case that the official animal tamer is investigating... So, the murderer may have already entered the official sight? ! "You can go now." At this time, Lu Ran looked at the three little squirrels. They were no longer useful, so he planned to drive them away.

"Coo, coo..." The three little squirrels cried for joy and turned around and ran away.

Lu Ran, along with Mr. Ha and the others, continued to wait where they were.

Lu Ran didn't dare to dig up the body for fear of disturbing the crime scene.

It’s definitely not because I don’t dare.

[It’s so scary, someone is dead, I’m going to die suddenly...] But I was the king of sudden death, I was very excited throughout the whole process.

As for Mr. Ha, this guy... he is fearless and is looking up at the sky, wondering what he is thinking.

The official beastmasters from Jinling City were dispatched very quickly, but not as many people as Lu Ran had imagined. After more than ten minutes, only two people arrived here.

Among them, there is a middle-aged man and a young man.

When they arrived, they immediately looked at Lu Ran, and the middle-aged man said, "Student Lu, I was the one who contacted you just now. Is this the place?"

"Yes." Lu Ran nodded.

Zhao Chen looked towards the burial site with a serious expression.

"Xiao Wang, I leave this to you. I will lead the students out first."

"Okay." The young man made an OK gesture.

"Student Lu, please come back to the city with me first. Let the professionals handle this." Zhao Chen said.

"Yeah." Lu Ran felt that Xiao Bailong's old boss probably felt that he was a student and was not suitable to see scenes like digging corpses, so he wanted to take him away first.

Lu Ran had no interest in the first place, so he called out to Mr. Ha and the lizard lying on him and said, "Then let's go."

Don’t eat the King of Sudden Death either.

The feng shui here... is bad.

Soon, Lu Ran and the others went down the mountain.

During this period, Zhao Chen asked Lu Ran about what happened in more detail.

It was impossible for Lu Ran to say that he heard it from the squirrel and just exaggerated it.

He explained everything from how he came to Jinling City to why he went up the mountain.

"You are so lucky. You actually used the awakening leaf to evolve a reptile with good qualifications!"

Looking at the King of Sudden Death on Mr. Ha's body, Zhao Chen couldn't help but say, he is worthy of being a newcomer chosen by Dr. Gu, and he is worthy of being the Nth generation of the Royal Family whose ancestors have been related to animals for 18 generations.

At this time, Zhao Chen answered the phone again.

"Is it him?" Zhao Chen asked.

"That's right, Tao Hua, a freshman at Jinling Normal University, just became a Beast Tamer not long ago. His roommate reported to the police last night that he went to the wild to level up, but disappeared all night. His friend who is also a Beast Tamer found that his ID card has been cancelled and he cannot be contacted in Infinite City." The person on the other end of the phone said.

"Now it seems that they were indeed murdered. One person and one pet are both dead."

"Then let's call someone to deal with the body and contact the family. I'll go to the headquarters to see if we can find some powerful outside help to resolve this matter as soon as possible." Zhao Chen sighed, then hung up the phone.

"Uncle Zhao, what case is this?" In order to get closer to Lu Ran, Zhao Chen directly asked Lu Ran to call him Uncle Zhao.

At this time, although Lu Ran was not interested in the corpse, he was still quite interested in the case.

Facing Lu Ran's question, Zhao Chen smiled bitterly and said, "You came to Jinling at a really bad time. It's not peaceful here recently."

"You have just become a beastmaster, so you may not know that there is a mysterious organization in the world called 'The Other Shore'. They have a special skill that allows them to level up by hunting other beastmasters and pets."

"The members of the Other Shore are spread all over the world. It is an international criminal organization."

"With the arrival of the fourth batch of beastmasters, they have been particularly active recently. I was just transferred to Jinling when I noticed some traces of the other side."

"If I'm not mistaken, that person was killed by a member of the Other Shore."

"Leveling up by killing beastmasters and pets? How come there is such a skill?" Lu Ran was shocked. Why had he never heard of it before?

Is it still dangerous to be a beastmaster? Even if you don't enter a dangerous secret realm, you may still be targeted? You can't kill monsters and level up in the secret realm... But beastmasters can do that?

Looking at Mr. Ha, King of Sudden Death opened his eyes wide and felt that the world was so dangerous.

"Woof!" Mr. Ha was speechless. Stop shaking.

"Don't worry. The other side's headquarters is abroad. The people in the country are basically small fish and shrimps. They will be defeated immediately after they appear. We will not give them the opportunity to form forces in Xia!" said Zhao Chen.

"But this group of people are very good at hiding, and they are indeed difficult to deal with. If you encounter them in the future, it is better to find an opportunity to run away immediately. Use your identity card and quickly escape to Infinite City."

"That newcomer, probably because he had no experience in dealing with the Undead, was unable to escape in time and his soul was devoured."

"Undead, soul?" Lu Ran was confused.

Zhao Chen explained: "It's not accurate to say that the members of the Other Shore are beastmasters. They have mastered a special skill. They will kill their contracted pets and transform them into undead slaves. They hunt other beastmasters and pets to upgrade themselves. They rely on devouring the souls of other extraordinary lives."

"Therefore, internationally, they are more often called necromancers than beastmasters."
