Ah, here, I was indeed hit by an arrow. The person who spoke first had a somewhat urgent tone: Quick, search him quickly to find the whereabouts of that thing.

Guan Heng observed secretly from the tree and found that these two men were both burly men, wearing leather armor that was not old, with sharp blades hanging from their waists, and holding long bows in their hands. He thought in his mind: Look at the clothes of these two men.

Looks like a killer, but more like a professional mercenary

At this moment, the two big men had searched the dead man's body, but found nothing. One of them complained: Damn it, could it be that this kid accidentally dropped something somewhere when he was running for his life just now?

His companion said: I think it's better to forget it. The person is dead anyway. Let's go back and explain to the boss that the secret message has been burned. This can be regarded as death without evidence.

The person who spoke first nodded: Okay, clean up the bodies quickly and let's retreat.

At this point, one of them took out the fire starter from his body, lit it with a flick, and threw it on the deceased. The flames crackled, and the two of them turned around and left, disappearing within a few seconds.

After a while, Guan Heng jumped down from the treetop and extinguished the flames with a wave of his hand. When he looked at the dead man again, his face was burnt black, but he could barely make out that he was a handsome man with a delicate face.

A young man with pointed ears.

He's an elf

Guan Heng was suddenly shocked. People from the Elf tribe rarely move outside the Elf Forest. Unless there are special circumstances, otherwise, this person is a half-elf. With some curiosity in his heart, Guan Heng walked up to this person.

Next to the rock where he hid something before he died, he reached out and took out the thing tucked under the rock.

It turned out to be a letter wrapped in oil paper. Guan Heng unfolded the letter and read it carefully with the help of the gathered fire elements.

There is not much content in the letter. It just states that in one and a half months, a large-scale purge will be carried out within the Iron-Blooded Mercenary Group. Someone is going to secretly attack and kill Melty, the captain of the first detachment, and her men who are out on a mission. At that time,

To set an ambush on the road to the Elf Forest

When Meldy Guanheng saw this familiar name, his heart tightened suddenly. He gritted his teeth and said to himself: How unreasonable, these guys dare to plan to kill my sister, I will never let them go.

The half-elf girl Melty was rescued by Guan Heng on the outskirts of Fragrance Town after he came to Ashton Continent. Before they parted, they became sworn brothers and sisters. In order to make herself better, Melty

He was strong, so he joined the mercenary group alone, intending to continue to hone himself through actual combat.

At this moment, the little monkey jumped out of Guan Heng's arms and started rummaging around on the dead man's body.

Guan Heng asked inexplicably: Hey, little monkey, what are you doing?

Chi Chi At this moment, the little red monkey pulled a small leather bag from the waist of the deceased, bit it with his teeth, and snapped the rope on it. The little monkey then turned the mouth of the leather bag downwards, only to

I saw a fruit that was glowing blue-gray and fragrant rolling out from inside.

Well, Guan Heng first picked up the letter, picked up the fruit and looked at it carefully. He then smiled and said: Ah, I have seen this kind of fruit in a rare plant illustration. Its name seems to be Xiang.

The Holy Fruit is a rare fruit that grows on giant trees in the Elf Forest.

Chi chi chi chi. At this moment, the little red monkey was a little dissatisfied with Guan Heng for taking the fragrant holy fruit first. It screamed, jumped up and climbed onto Guan Heng's arm, and stretched out its front paws to grab it.

Guan Heng said: I think you must have smelled the scent of the Fragrant Holy Fruit before you came here. However, the shell of this fruit is as hard as iron. Can you bite it?

Hearing Guan Heng's words, the little red monkey immediately froze on the spot. It retracted its paws in embarrassment and looked at Guan Heng expectantly. The latter smiled slightly: Okay, wait until we return to the Cornerstone Town Hotel.

, I will find a way to break it open for you and let you taste the pulp inside.

Chi Chi Chi The little red monkey heard this and beamed with joy, and even called out twice very proudly.

However, after a month and a half, I must find a way to notify or rescue Melty. Guan Heng touched the letter and secretly kept this in mind: My sister is in danger, so I can't ignore it.

.

Sorry, I don’t know your name. Guan Heng whispered to the deceased: I will solve Melty’s matter, please rest in peace.

After that, Guan Heng took out the tools from the space ring, dug a deep pit, and buried the deceased properly. In order not to attract the attention of the bad guys, Guan Heng did not set up a tombstone, but just made a mark nearby so that Mei could be found in the future.

Erti came to pay homage.

Okay, little monkey, let's go. Guan Heng led the little red monkey and hurried out of the forest and walked straight into the cornerstone town.

A moment later, on the second floor of the small town hotel.

Ah ha, the stew made by the landlady is really delicious. Guan Heng, who had a full meal, patted his belly with satisfaction, and then asked Janis: So, you have found out everything clearly.

Yes, it is well connected in all directions, and people from other towns often come to stay in the hotel. It is very convenient to inquire about all kinds of information.

Janis threw the meaty bone in his hand to the little red monkey, who took it and gnawed it with joy. He then said: While you are not here, I asked people carefully and heard that there are many towns nearby.

All the residents were struck down by an inexplicable plague overnight.

Guan Heng's eyes suddenly narrowed overnight, and he suddenly felt something was wrong: Are these people really getting sick at the same time?

That's right, the time should have been just a month ago.

At this time, Janis took out a topographic map of nearby towns and spread it out on the table. He pointed to the location above and said: First, starting from this small village in Malu, the villagers began to have vomiting and diarrhea overnight, and

Accompanied by high fever, the first person to become ill will die in agony within three days.

Tsk, what a ferocious plague. Guan Heng couldn’t help but frowned and said: Johnny, do you think this spreading plague could be caused by humans?

Guan Heng, are you saying that someone poisoned you? Janis felt his mouth taste bitter. He could hardly believe his ears, and then muttered: Your inference is too sensational. If it was poisoned by man, how could the murderer be killed?

what are the benefits

I’m not sure about this either. Guan Heng touched his chin and said thoughtfully: Any abnormal man-made event will definitely be accompanied by some interest relationship, but we haven’t thought of it now.
