At this time, the blood-colored crystal that fell between the two little bamboo cats was one of the few blood essences that were formed by the remaining essence and blood in the body after the death of the tiger demon.
After the owner dies, the demonic power in the liquid essence and blood begins to escape around. Only after a few drops of blood essence condense into a solid blood essence will this phenomenon of demon power escaping stop.
This blood essence fell to the ground along with the tiger demon's blood when Yuanyuan disemboweled the tiger demon, divided its body, and prepared to give it to the Mu family and his son to make delicious barbecue. He followed the sloping passage dug by the two little bamboo cats and rolled down into their underground lair.
Under the shroud of blood-colored energy, some sticky stains appeared on the two little bamboo civets from time to time, flowing along their bodies into the earth, and the energy in their bodies also increased rapidly.
There is no demon elixir before the demon beast stage, so when the savage beasts and desolate beasts below the demon beast are alive, the demon power is preserved in the body in the form of blood essence.
The tiger demon is only the first level of the savage beast, and the demonic power contained in this blood essence is less than one-tenth of that of the tiger demon, but for these two little bamboo cats, this energy is enough.
Fortunately, their bodies were not directly exploded by the demonic power. Although the two little bamboo cats fell into a deep sleep (coma) out of self-protection, their bodies had begun to adapt to these demonic powers. reacted.
......
One noon a week later, Mu Weixiong led everyone out of the Qinling Mountains and back to Wangshan Town.
Han Xiangzhong and others did not stop here. After bidding farewell to Mu Weixiong, they immediately took the bus back to the city. After resting in the city for a night, they planned to fly back to the capital to hand in the mission.
In the past few days, they walked all the way out in the opposite direction, following the route Mu Weixiong had led into the mountain.
They found many traces along the way, and also found many abandoned objects left by members of Kamemoto Yusei’s scientific expedition team, which proved Mu Weixiong’s previous experience in the mountains. , nothing false at all.
In addition, the Capital Special Service Group Headquarters also received a report on the situation in northern Sichuan.
A few months ago, a combination of tiger demon + ghost was discovered there, and the local monks offered a reward to hunt them down. The pair of monsters disappeared after escaping into the Qinling Mountains. Until now, they have not been found again in the southern foothills of the Qinling Mountains.
Since this was an action spontaneously organized by local monks and did not go through the special service team, the relevant information was not reported until now.
This information is very important. Combined with the time when Kamemoto Tomosei's scientific expedition team entered the mountain and what they encountered, it can be basically determined that this combination of tiger monster + ghost ghost is the monks from northern Sichuan The bounty on the monster.
Han Xiangzhong's mission this time is basically over now, and he is just waiting to complete the report after returning. The remaining work will be transferred to other departments.
For example, the diplomatic department is more troublesome. They have to explain the death of Kamemoto Yucheng and others.and aftermath work.
Fortunately, the scientific expedition team was not completely wiped out. Masako Koyama is recovering well now and is fine.
Having her come forward to testify, I believe that communication between the relevant agencies of the two countries will be more convenient and the external propaganda caliber will be unified.
……
It’s night in Wangshan Town.
Wangshan Town is a small mountain town. A large number of young adults have left their hometown to study and live in nearby cities.
Therefore, on weekdays, the town is sparsely populated and entertainment activities are scarce. People basically still adhere to the traditional lifestyle of working at sunrise and resting at sundown.
At 11 o'clock at night, the entire Wangshan Town was immersed in a peaceful and quiet night. People after a busy day had already gone to bed and slept soundly. There was only a dim light bulb hanging at the entrance of the town, swaying in the night wind. .
The roar of a car motor broke the tranquility, and a taxi with an urban license plate entered the town. Amidst the barking of dogs, the car slowly passed through the town and stopped at the other end of the town closest to the Qinling Mountains.
A man got out of the taxi and knocked on the door of Mu's house.
"Who is it? It's midnight, please wait a moment." Mu Weixiong's wife babbled loudly.
Then the lights in the two rooms in the courtyard came on. Mu Tiezhu got dressed first and ran out to open the door.
"Who are you?" Mu Tiezhu looked familiar, but was not very impressed, so he asked.
"My surname is Su, is your father at home?" With that said, the visitor came in uninvited and stepped into the courtyard of the Mu family.
At this time, Mu Weixiong also put on clothes and came out. He was startled when he saw the person coming and said, "You are...Mr. Su, why are you here?"
Su Yun, who had just left here at noon, was here. He returned to the city with the team. After having dinner with everyone, he left the hotel where he was staying on the pretext of some personal matters. He chartered a taxi on the street and returned directly to Lookout Mountain Town.
Su Yun originally wanted to go back to the capital to complete the task and use the rest period to come back. However, he was worried about the long nights and dreams. If someone got the tiger bone first, he might not be able to get it.
Fortunately, the urban area is not too far from Wangshan Town, only more than 200 kilometers and a four-hour drive.
So, Su Yun decided to stay up all night and run back and forth to get the tiger bones as soon as possible.
Mu Weixiong spent a week with them in the Qinling Mountains to investigate the cause of death of Kamemoto Yusei's team. For confidentiality reasons, Han Xiangzhong and the others did not introduce their true identities to Mu Weixiong, but borrowed the names of the joint investigation team.
However, through observation over the past few days, Mu Weixiong discovered that they had inadvertently revealed their skills far beyond those of ordinary people, as well as their accustomed attitude towards things that could only appear in legends.
Mu Weixiong has vaguely guessed that they are likely to belong to a special government department composed of some experts mentioned in many novels.
At this time, when Mu Weixiong saw such an expert coming to him in the middle of the night, he didn't think much about it. He quickly invited Su Yun into the room, asked his wife to boil water, and made tea to entertain the guests. .
"It's done, Lao Mu. Don't bother yourself at night. Let your wife go back to the house and rest. I'm here to talk to you. I want to buy your son to carry it when he goes out. Please give me a price for that tiger bone."
Su Yun didn't have time to chat with Mu Weixiong, so he expressed his intention straight to the point.
Mu Weixiong was stunned. He did not expect that Su Yun came to him in the middle of the night for the tiger bone that Mu Tiezhu carried.
Mu Weixiong hesitated for a while, not knowing how to refuse. He really didn't want to sell the tiger bone, even though no one else knew it, he still had a tiger bone hidden in the cellar. But no amount of such good stuff is too much!
After eating a few pieces of tiger monster meat, the changes in his body are still continuing. Although it cannot be said that he has rejuvenated, his physical fitness at this time is much better than when he was young.
Tiger bones have greater medicinal properties than tiger meat and are more valuable. Furthermore, these are the bones of a tiger demon. Are they the same as ordinary tiger bones?
