Mercenaries and Adventurers

Vol 2 Chapter 6: , Farm Cowshed - Exploring the Dead and Findings

The closer he got to the cowshed, the heavier the smell of blood and decaying corpses Zhao Ji could smell.

As soon as he walked into the gate of the cowshed, Zhao Ji was dizzy from the smell inside, and all kinds of unpleasant smells mixed together and rushed towards him. This smell is different from the smell when the sewage outlet in the south of the city discharges sewage.

Zhao Ji had no choice but to cover his mouth and nose with his left hand as he didn't prepare any anti-odor props, and walked forward slowly.

The lighting in the cowshed is not bad, the location is just where the sun can shine, and the buildings in the middle of the farm do not block the light of the cowshed. It seems that the layout of the farm was designed by special personnel.

There are many wooden pillars inside the cowshed, and there are also wooden fences for the cattle to live in. No need to look, just by smelling, Zhao Ji can figure out which direction is the place where the cattle died. There are some vomit everywhere on the ground, and Zhao Ji has to be careful not to step on them.

In the depths of the cowshed, Zhao Ji's lips were tightly pressed together, and his brows were also wrinkled. Although the scene at the scene was foreshadowed by the various fearful expressions of many people, it was still too shocking for Zhao Ji.

The head of the cattle is stretched over the barn, and it is completely held by the bones and fur of the neck so that it does not fall to the ground. The head of the cattle is covered with flies. Maggots were already wriggling in the bull's eye.

The cow's tongue protruded from the cow's mouth, and thick plasma oozed out of the cow's tongue. The plasma was pulled along the cow's tongue for a long time before it dripped on the floor of the cowshed. The flies and ants seem to think that the thick plasma is delicious, and they all gather at the place where the plasma drips and compete for each other.

The cow's neck was rather dry and flat. From Zhao Ji's position, it was obvious that there seemed to be nothing in the cow's neck except fur and bones.

The belly of the cow is the most disgusting place for Zhao Ji. The cow's belly was completely hanging on the ground, and the whole cow's belly was drilled open by something unknown, and the cow's internal organs and blood gushed out from those holes and flowed all over the ground. The crows who got in from nowhere were happily sharing these delicious buffet meals.

The limbs of the farm cattle are also different from those of other cattle. They look rather dry and flat, as if everything inside has been hollowed out. Zhao Ji felt that it must have been hollowed out, but not from the outside, but from the body part of the cow little by little.

There were also many gaps in the cattle's back, and on the wall of the straw mat of the cowshed corresponding to the gaps, there were splashes of blood and finely divided body tissues of the cattle everywhere.

Looking at this tragic and disgusting scene, Zhao Ji obviously wanted to vomit. But looking at all kinds of flies flying around, Zhao Ji was really afraid that when he opened his mouth, a fly would slither into his mouth. He still endured the feeling of vomiting and covered his mouth tightly with his left hand.

Sure enough, Mr. Weiss was right, this scene is obviously not something anyone can do. After all, humans slaughter and kill animals, no matter how perverted they are, he has a certain logic, and will not make the scene so bloody.

Zhao Ji noticed that many internal tissues of the cattle obviously disappeared, such as the flesh and blood in the neck. Moreover, the blood volume of the cattle is not right. Such a large cattle is several times the size of a human, and several times the weight of a human. Therefore, the amount of blood should be several times that of humans.

There wasn't enough blood splattered at the scene or dripping on the ground. Obviously a large part is missing.

Zhao Ji drove away the crows, and drove away many flies with a straw mat in the cowshed, before approaching the dead cattle.

Fearing that the monster was still inside the cattle, Zhao Ji kept a distance from the cattle. He no longer held the long sword, but rested it on the ground, keeping the muscles in his arms tense. If something came to attack him, he would swing his long sword from bottom to top, splitting the offending monster in half.

Approaching the dead cattle, Zhao Ji carefully observed the cut on the cattle's back.

The breach was turned outwards, and there seemed to be a deep hole inside. The inside of the fur was missing the cylindrical muscle tissue as far as Zhao Ji could see. Glancing at the straw mat hanging on the cowshed, it was stained with a lot of tiny muscles. Zhao Ji estimated that it was the missing tissue under the fur on the back of the cow.

Zhao Ji used a wooden stick in the cowshed to pull the viscera of the farm cattle spread on the ground. Much of the viscera was gone, leaving only the sturdy stomach and intestines. Two days later, the cow's intestines were still slippery and swollen, but the large and small openings on the top were broken by maggots and crows, so that the cow's intestines did not rot and explode.

This is a good thing for Zhao Ji, if it is in such a bad environment now, plus the house is full of cow dung splashed everywhere by corruption explosions. Then Zhao Ji couldn't stand it anymore.

While looking around at the dead cattle with a wooden stick, Zhao Ji found that there was only one unique wound in the middle of the right hind leg on the four limbs of the cattle.

This wound is different from other wounds. Other wounds were opened from the inside out, but this one was drilled from the outside in.

Moreover, the wound was quite clean, and the fur around the wound was not stained with blood or flesh tissue. On the fur around the wound, there were still some traces of faint yellow mucus after hardening, and this trace ended from the wound. Zhao Ji used a wooden stick to draw down the yellow mucus, extending all the way to the right hind hoof of the cattle.

Zhao Ji turned around to let more light shine here. This yellow mucus is not easy to find in places with poor lighting. If Zhao Ji hadn't carefully observed the strange wound, he might not have been able to find it.

The sticks stretched along the hooves of the cattle, over the sand and small strands of cow dung on the ground, until they reached the wall of the cowshed.

This wall is not the straw mats in the cowshed, but the outer walls of the farm, those thick log outer walls.

Using the yellow slime, Zhao Ji discovered that the final place was where two logs meet. There was a small hole there, which was covered with yellow slime. Under the hole, Zhao Ji also found many fine pieces of wood.

Zhao Ji nodded. He figured out where the monster came from. It seems that it used the cracks in the log wall from the outside, coupled with the monster's powerful bite ability, to drill through the wood blocking the way and enter the inside of the farm. Then crawl to the right hind leg of the nearest cattle shed, bite through the flesh, eat the muscles and blood of the cattle, and enter the body of the cattle.

Thinking of this, Zhao Ji had a question. He dropped the stick, carefully kept his back against the wall, and retreated outside the cowshed.

Outside, Zhao Ji can finally let go of his nose and mouth to breathe fresh air smoothly. I took two deep breaths. Although there was still a lot of bad smell here, I was able to breathe normally.

Zhao Ji gasped for breath and came to Milendon who was waiting for him. Seeing that Kiel hadn't vomited, and he didn't hear the sound of Keel vomiting, Millenton had to secretly praise Keir for his extraordinary endurance.

"Hey, I have carefully checked the situation inside and found some things. I have to say that the scene inside is really disgusting." Zhao Ji said as he inserted the long sword back into the scabbard.

"Yes, yes, please don't mention it again, I don't want to think about what it looks like inside." Millenton's face turned pale, it seems that he has been in it before, and he didn't know what was in the vomit on the ground inside. , Which one did he vomit.

"Okay, now I need to go to the outside of the farm again, which is the corresponding place outside the cowshed, do you know that? After all, you are a local." Zhao Ji stomped his feet and slapped clothes on his body to prevent maggots from falling on his clothes.

"Of course, all of us grew up here, and we are familiar with every part of the farm." Millenton took Zhao Ji away from here, while patting his chest for assurance.

"Including Mr. Weiss's house?" Zhao Ji winked and said, he needs to say something insignificant to cover the short memory just now.

"No, no, that's not the case. I rarely go to his place. I only go in once or twice a year when the rations are paid." Millenton said, shaking his hands.

Zhao Ji laughed: "Haha, I'm just kidding. No one likes to go to a place where they have to hand over their labor for nothing."

"You're right. No one likes to pay rent, but we have to. After all, we don't own all the land." Sighing, Millenton said helplessly. UU reading www.uukanshu.com

Raising his left eyebrow, Zhao Ji said: "I remember that the owner of Kendall County, the Baron family of Kendall has issued a decree long ago. From the time they arrived in Kendall County until now, there is no owner in the county. As long as the land is cultivated for five years and the grain tax is paid on time, the land will belong to the reclamator. What? Don’t you know? Is it the latest immigrant?”

"No, no, no, no. Didn't I say that I grew up here, and everyone knows the land laws. It's just that the land here is the best, and other places, if they are not too far away, must It’s not unsafe, either the yield of the fields is not high, or it’s no different from other places. We rent land to grow here, and the safety is guaranteed by the farm. The grain can be sold directly to Mr. Weiss without having to transport it to the city. It’s a short distance from Kendal The city is not far away, it only takes a short while to go there, and you can buy everything you want.

And this piece of land near the Kendall River never has to worry about irrigation. There is no drought, and the irrigation system of the field does not require people to worry about labor. Moreover, the land under our feet is hit by floods every year, and the fertility of the fields will naturally recover, and there is no need to fallow to maintain the land. It is really the best place my father and the others have ever seen. Even if you have to pay the county's grain tax and the rent of the farm, the annual income is much higher than that of other places.

Besides, the annual harvest of other villages is at most a warehouse full of crops, but our annual harvest can be exchanged for coins of any commodity. Who needs food if they have money? Are you right? "Millendon, who had a long talk, finally asked Keir.

Zhao Ji shrugged, right? He doesn’t know. Everyone has his own way of life, and every place has his own way of life. He doesn’t understand and doesn’t know, so he doesn’t have any opinions.
