When the fisherman saw Fang Linyan’s actions, he was instantly infuriated. He almost wanted to draw his saber and hack the bastard to death.

Unexpectedly, the other party threw another 5 taels of silver over.

So after the fisherman did some calculations, his eyes suddenly lit up. This money is enough to buy a new boat! The rest of the money can let me spend for half a month.

So the fisherman immediately ran away, for fear that Fang Linyan would renege.

After Fang Linyan fumbled on the boat for a while, he quickly learned how to sail the boat.

Although this ship seemed to be sailing very slowly, there were paddles beside it.

With this thing, Rubes can transform into elite mechanical warrant officer and start to wave the paddle.

With the powerful “engine” elite mechanical warrant officer, the forward speed of the ship suddenly accelerated.

If it wasn’t for the material of the ship itself that limited the performance of the elite mechanical warrant officer, the speed could be at least doubled.

Not only that, Fang Linyan saw another paddle, and he directly picked it up to wave paddle.

So the journey was smooth sailing.

Fang Linyan’s sudden escape through the boat immediately caused great difficulties for those who were tracking him.

At this time, only a dozen or so people were left alive in Fang Family Village.

But it was certain that the difficulty of killing these dozens of people was probably even harder than killing the hundreds of people in the Fang Family fishing village!!

Don’t forget that this was a brutal Space Battlefield, it was either killing or being killed.

In this case, how many people really put their thoughts into the side missions?

Survival was the most important thing!

The mind of guarding against ambushes was even more torturing.

So for the side mission of Genocide, most people were just killing whoever they found.

What’s more, even if most of the Fang Family were ordinary people, there must be a few elites.

This was a world with beastkins and supernatural powers. The difficulty of hunting the remaining dozen or so people could only be described as tough.

***

After a period of sailing, Fang Linyan suddenly discovered something in surprise.

The red mist clusters appearing on the river surface not only did not fade but became clearer.

This could only mean that the distance between him and Zhou Zhuo was getting closer.

Zhou Zhuo probably passed by the river about 40 minutes ago on the boat.

Because of the river wind, the bloody smell he left behind became very weak.

So in Rubes‘ field of vision, the blood-colored mist became thinner.

But now, Fang Linyan was at the place that Zhou Zhuo passed by just 20 minutes ago, so the bloody smell was much stronger.

The blood-colored mist in the field of vision would obviously be much darker.

Soon, a tributary appeared ahead, and the path of blood-colored mist pointed to the tributary.

Fang Linyan was overjoyed, and he hurriedly turned the boat. After entering, he found that this tributary was not wide, but the water was deep and the current was quite fast.

There were deep and dense forests on both sides of the river, surrounded by mist. Even the sunlight could only cast mottled sunlight spots on the ground.

“Hmm?“

Suddenly, from the peripheral vision of Fang Linyan, he saw a large cloud of black and red scent mist appearing more than 30 meters away.

There was a clear difference between this black-red scent mist and the bright red blood mist left by Zhou Zhuo.

This was obviously not the trace left by Zhou Zhuo, but it also showed that there was a thick and rotten bloody smell there.

According to Fang Linyan’s speculation, he was likely to reach the destination soon. The bloody smell on the tributary would not dissipate for a while, so it wouldn’t delay his tracking.

So he let boat land on the side, dragged the boat up, and covered it up with vines.

Then he went toward the place with abnormal conditions with Rubes, and he soon found that it was a corpse. It had been dead for at least 5 days.

As soon as Fang Linyan and Rubes approached, they immediately saw flies, mosquitoes, and the like feasting on the corpse like a black cloud. The buzzing sound in the air could even remind people of the sound of a bomber diving.

As a robot, Rubes didn’t feel anything, but this scene gave Fang Linyan goosebumps!

So he snapped his fingers, [Mechanical Gyrfalcon] blasted a smoke grenade.

This was a smoke grenade buffed by Itchy Crotch. The flies and mosquitoes suddenly fell like raindrops. More than half of them died, and the rest all flew away.

Only then did Fang Linyan go up to examine the corpse. He found that it was a middle-aged man in his forties.

He was wearing the clothes of a traveling merchant that didn’t look much different from the traveling merchants on the road, except that the calluses on his hands and feet were thicker.

His cause of death was very obvious. His neck was swiped by something sharp.

A wound about 5cm long was rolled out on the neck. The blood flowed all over the ground, forming black and red lumps, so the air was filled with the rotten bloody smell.

This was also the reason why Fang Linyan could see the rotten bloody smell through Rubes’ shared vision from far away.

The wound showed a strange meniscus shape. It was as terrifying as a smiling face.

Under normal circumstances, it was difficult for a dagger or a sword to cause similar damage, so the most likely weapon was the claw.

Sharp claw!

Fang Linyan searched this person’s belongings as usual. He found that there seemed to be nothing else on his body except a few taels of silver.

But at this time, Rubes stepped forward. When it was in human form, only its combat power would be affected, but the rest of its abilities still remained.

He reached out and grabbed the man’s pants where the calf was.

Fang Linyan immediately noticed that on the image shared by Rubes, there were strands of yellow mist that were completely different from the black-red bloody smell.

Fang Linyan’s eyes lit up. He immediately pinched it, and he soon discovered that the inner side of the pants actually had an interlayer.

He tore open the interlayer and found 2 pieces of silk with characters written all over it, several yellow pills, a yellow talisman, and a waist token.

After Fang Linyan searched and found that there was nothing else to gain, he let Rubes. After thinking about it, he let Rubes dispose the corpse into the river.

On the other hand, he continued to trace Zhou Zhuo’s blood while reading the words on the silk. free(w)ebnovel(.)com

On the first piece of silk it was written,

Secret Order

To Sixth Division of Imperial Astronomical Bureau

After investigation, in Youjiang County and Tianyang County, passengers are often missing. According to survivors, an inn occasionally appears near the official road after dusk and disappears at dawn.

The name of the inn is Gao Family Inn. Its villa is built against the mountain. The main structure is built in the mountainside, which is quite grand and spacious.

It is suspected that there is a bewitching array near this inn. People who see the inn will feel unbearably hungry and thirsty and go in directly.

The proprietress in charge of hospitality will warmly entertain travelers who stray into it, and she will actively promote the special roast pig in the inn. Anyone who eats this dish will undoubtedly die.

Of the only 3 survivors, 2 were vegetarians since childhood, and one was seriously ill. All of whom did not eat this food.

According to Sir Official Fu’s calculation, this Gao Family Inn is built by a big beastkin. The heart of this big monster is the main material for the emperor to refine the immortality pill.

The Sixth Division of Imperial Astronomical Bureau will immediately send people to investigate when receiving the order.

Imperial Order!

…

A record was written on the second piece of silk. 𝒇𝓻𝒆𝒆𝔀𝒆𝓫𝙣𝓸𝙫𝒆𝒍.𝓬𝓸𝓶

Since I arrived in Tianyang County on the 16th, I found that there are indeed strange incidents circulating in the Gao Family Inn.

After a detailed investigation of the survivors, I found that what was mentioned in the secret order was wrong. In fact, some people who had not eaten the roast pig were kept here forever.

The survivors survived because they were all turmeric dealers.

The beastkin there hates the smell of turmeric very much.

So when I go to investigate, I will definitely sprinkle turmeric powder on my body, which should be able to ward off evil creatures.

According to my investigation, that big beastkin’s cultivation level is really high. He is probably 900 years old, and he already has a powerful enchanted weapon in his hand!

This big beastkin is currently gathering all the beastkins around in 7 days in the name of birthday. It seems like it wants to entitle itself the beastkin king.

…

The waist token was very simple. The front was written with number 42 and the back was written with a name Ah Kun.

This should be his identification.

Fang Linyan looked at the yellow pills in his hand, and he immediately thought of the turmeric powder mentioned by Ah Kun from the Sixth Division of Imperial Astronomical Bureau.

This thing still seemed useful. At least it protected his body from being eaten alive by the beastkin.

However, the usefulness of this was still limited. Probably it could only play the role of disgusting beastkin but not warding them off.

It was equivalent to a bad wolf feeding a belly full of manure, which may prevent the hunter from eating wolf meat, but it does not prevent the hunter from killing it at all.

TL: Can he equip the tumeric powder with the smoke grenade?
