BXBX NOVEL Chapter 416: Rubes
Chapter 416: Rubes
He thought about it. According to the memory feedback, the Fang Clan mainly lived by the river, and they were gathered in 3 villages.
As long as the contractor heard this information, they could directly choose the fastest and most ruthless means to kill all the people in the 3 villages indiscriminately.
So after the massacre of the villages, at least 378 members of the Fang Clan would have died, plus the rest who went out of the Fang Clan would be killed one by one. Then, this made sense.
He took a deep breath, suppressed the impatience in his mind, and then chose to trust the freckled girl in front. He said impatiently,
“Things are a little troublesome, you know? There have been rumors that there is beastkin in the in officialdom of Tianyang County!”
“If Big Brother Luo and Zhou Zhuo really didn’t come, then their lives may be in danger. I have to go back immediately and find someone to save them. It costs at least 10 taels of silver to hire an exorcist!”
The girl immediately said in shock,
“Brother, don’t scare me…”
Fang Linyan frowned and said,
“Why should I scare you! Will I joke about this kind of thing? Am I not afraid of Brother Luo beating the shit out of me when he returns?”
She hesitated for a while and finally said,
“It’s true that Ah Yong didn’t come today, but when he came the day before yesterday, he… he said one thing.”
Fang Linyan said,
“What’s that?”
The girl said with some concern,
“My father’s rheumatic leg is suffering during windy and rainy day. After Ah Yong knew about this, he has been paying attention to ways to cure him…”
“Then the day before yesterday, he happily said that he found a nest of weasels at Mountain Laogua. As long as he can capture the oldest one, skin it, and make its skin into a knee-protecting wrap for our father, he won’t be afraid of getting sick in the future.”
“However, he also said that the nest of weasels is also very cunning. They placed the nest next to an ancient tomb, so he had to prepare his belongings before he could go.”
Fang Linyan said thoughtfully.
“Oh, then I’ll go to Mountain Laogua to look for them.”
The girl said worriedly,
“Then if you meet them, tell Ah Yong to be careful.”
Fang Linyan pondered for a moment and said,
“I do know about Mountain Laogua, but I don’t know where the ancient tomb that Brother Yong mentioned is.”
The girl said,
“There is only one ancient tomb on the side of Mountain Laogua, Shangshu Tomb. You can see it when you go to Mountain Laogua. There are 2 big stone statues in front of the tomb.”
Fang Linyan said,
“Okay, I’ll go there now. If Brother Yong encounters any trouble, I can still help.”
***
On the way back, Fang Linyan also began to feel that the crisis was coming.
There are only 30 or so people left in the entire Fang Clan!
These contractors are acting too damn fast.
For Fang Linyan, he seemed to see the countdown of his life before him…
This killing speed was completely beyond Fang Linyan’s expectation.
Obviously, this feeling of being the public enemy of the contractors was really uncomfortable!
What’s more terrible was that the ones who were hunting Fang Linyan this time were the contractors of 5 Spaces. This number could easily exceed a hundred.
Thinking of this, he couldn’t help speeding up his pace again.
After walking fast for a period of time, Fang Linyan saw Mountain Laogua. From the first sight, he felt that this mountain was a bit evil, giving people an eerie feeling.
There were dense trees in the mountain, but there was a darkness in the green.
If there were many trees in the forest, there must be many insects, birds, wild animals, etc.
For example, in early summer now, the noise of cicadas would be deafening, and the mosquitoes would be attracted by the smell of sweat.
There was absolutely no bird chirping here in Mountain Laogua. Even if there was insect chirping, it was weak and sparse, and there were very few mosquitoes. Obviously, there were no larger animals here that could let them live and reproduce.
After reaching the mountain waist, Fang Linyan saw 2 stone statues. Although 1 had collapsed, it was indeed magnificent.
Because these iconic things seemed to remind others that there were pricey goods here.
So the tomb here was looted hundreds of years ago.
It was said that a former minister (Shangshu) was buried inside, but now even his stone coffin was left. It was only an empty tomb with tomb passages extending in all directions and bats hanging inside.
If someone wanted to search for a person here, it would be very difficult. Fortunately, Fang Linyan had the help of [Mechanical Gyrfalcon]. It flew over directly to look for the target.
Then it didn’t take much effort to find puffing green smoke coming out of a place. When it flew over, if found a small slope. Behind the slope was the tomb of the minister.
Looking closely, a mound of soil had been dug out on the small slope, then on the side was a firewood pile that was smoking without flames.
Fang Linyan rushed over quickly, then he roughly figured out what happened at a glance.
Luo Yong and Zhou Zhuo came here first. Because it was indeed a bit far to go to Wang Laocai’s place in the neighboring county, if there was any delay on the journey and he returned the next day, Liu Huzi would have nothing to say.
So Luo Yong brought Zhou Zhuo here to help him catch that nest of weasels.
After Luo Yong came to the cave of the weasels, he and Zhou Zhuo dug the hole first. As a result, they found that the hole was too deep, so they wanted to smoke out the weasels. However, an accident happened at this time.
Fang Linyan squatted next to the fire pile and inspected it carefully for a while. He found that there was very little firewood in the fire pile. He frowned and thought for a while, then he came to a conclusion.
When they were separated.
The reason for their separation was also very simple, because 1 person had to look at the fire to smoke the weasel cave, and the other person had to find some firewoods to burn.
After clarifying this, Fang Linyan found that there were no traces of fighting around the fire, so he began to look for clues within a radius of 50 meters around the fire.
Because this place was in the wilderness, there were trees everywhere, and they were next to the ancient tomb, so they would be cautious.
The person who looked for firewood wouldn’t stay too far from his companion. 50 meters should be the limit. Once the companion heard the cry for help, he could reach in time.
In the process of searching, Fang Linyan also grasped another key point.
What was the root cause of the accident between them?
The biggest possibility was that the weasels whose home was invaded plotted against them.
The second possibility was that they were eaten by passing a beastkin.
Finally, this was the big tomb of the minister. It was inevitable that there would be ghosts, but ghosts usually emerged at night, so this possibility was the lowest.
However, after Fang Linyan searched for a circle, he still didn’t find any clues.
He sighed and took out that item: Mechanical Dire Wolf Heart, then chose to consume the casting material to summon the elite [Mechanical Dire Wolf].
A teleportation array popped out of the ground instantly, then a more powerful [Mechanical Dire Wolf] appeared. Its size was slightly bigger, and its fur was silvery white.
The most notable feature was a terrible scar on its brow bone.
Its attributes had undergone obvious changes.
Rubes (I solemnly commemorate the LR that I specially establish to catch it)

Active Ability: [Stand Up] (to be improved), this ability is derived from the casting material of [Mechanical Dire Wolf], the creator used some methods of creating elite mechanical warrant officer when creating this core.
So when necessary, Rubes can [Transform] into elite mechanical warrant officer.
But because all abilities of Rubes could only be maximized in the form of [Mechanical Dire Wolf], so elite mechanical warrant officer cannot inherit Rubes‘ attributes and skills.
However, the completion level of Mechanical Dire Wolf Heart is only 58%, and there are flaws in the production process and materials.
If its completion level is further improved, [Stand up] will be promoted to an advanced skill.
(Skip the same instructions below, please refer to the normal [Mechanical Dire Wolf].)
TL: Does elite mechanical warrant officer still possess its previous skill? Skill like transforming into a turrent could be useful situationally.
