Chapter 184 Punishment
Bailipu, as the name suggests, is a gathering place of villages and towns a hundred miles away from Yongzhou.

This Baili is not the Baili in the exact sense.

If calculated based on the actual distance, it would be about seventy miles, which is about thirty kilometers now.

Shen Qing rode at full speed and arrived nearby in two or three quarters of an hour.

At this moment, the thick and almost impossible to dispel smell of blood in the air filled the air.

Shen Qing raised his eyebrows and urged his men to speed up.

"Shut up!"

Shen Qing stopped his horse and looked ahead carefully. He saw a body thrown casually on the ground by the roadside.

The body was lying on its back with its face facing downward. The center of its back seemed to have been scratched by sharp claws, leaving the outline of a wingless eagle.

The flesh on both sides had been cut open, the ribs inside had been broken, and the ribs were turned outward with flesh and bones, turning into a pair of bony wings that were spread out ready to fly.

The blood-red bone wings plus the wingless eagle carved earlier look like a bloody "blood eagle".

When Liu Sangui and the others saw the corpse, their faces changed and they recognized it almost immediately: "This is trouble, it's really this!"

Shen Qing turned around and asked, "Who is this "it" you are talking about?"

"A powerful eagle demon."

"Eagle demon?"

Jiang Dacong, Guan Yunjian, Shu Jiushu and others' expressions became increasingly ugly when they saw the corpse.

"You don't know, sir, this eagle monster has committed crimes here more than once or twice. Every time it commits a crime, it leaves behind a corpse like this. After eating the person, it spreads its wings and flies into the mountains. It is extremely difficult to deal with. Our Weiwu Division is helpless against it."

Shen Qing listened quietly, pondering in his heart.

Just as Guan Yunjian and the others said, if it was a flying monster, they really would have no way to deal with it.

"Go and have a look first."

Shen Qing's face was solemn. He clamped his legs around the horse's belly, drove the horse and led the way into Bailipu.

There are about dozens of households living in Bailipu, which is larger than the average village. There are many taverns and stalls for traveling merchants to rest.

But now many roofs have been blown off, walls have collapsed, beams and pillars have been broken, and it has become a ruin.

"Follow closely, everyone be careful." Liu Sangui behind him reminded.

Jiang Dacong, Guan Yunjian, Shu Jiushu and others subconsciously tightened their weapons and followed closely.

Shen Qing walked into Bailipu and saw debris all over the ground.

Monsters eat people.

Shen Qing looked around and couldn't find a single intact corpse. Even the internal organs had been eaten clean.

There were only large patches of bright red blood and the sounds of struggle on the ground.

If you look closely, you will find many claw marks and pecking marks left behind on the remains, and even a baby with its skull lifted up, revealing nothing inside.

Shen Qing couldn't help but think of the scene he saw in the village that day, it was exactly the same.

This scene changed a lot as Shen Qing and others went deeper.

More and more body parts appeared.

If you look closely, you will find that the eyeballs and ears are scattered on the ground. If you piece them together patiently, you can even piece together a complete person, and many key parts have not been eaten.

This shows that the eagle monster originally only wanted to hunt humans, but later it was full and killed these people purely for cruelty.

Shen Qing couldn't help but feel a deep hatred for this eagle demon.

Guan Yunjian and the others looked at the corpses on the ground. They were used to such scenes and did not feel too much in their hearts. However, there was only one thing that made them look a little sad.

"If it is an eagle monster, the general has ordered us to capture it within three days. The Weiwu Division can't solve the problem, so how can we kill the eagle monster? This monthly salary will definitely be reduced by half again."

"How about we just follow the old rules?"

"What old rules?" Shen Qing turned around and asked.

Uncle Shu Jiu said naturally, "If we don't say that what happened here was done by the Eagle Demon, who would know that it was done by the Eagle Demon? It just so happens that I know a few ruffians. I can kill them and say that they did it. Wouldn't that settle the matter?"

After Shen Qing heard this, he said with a look of neither sadness nor joy on his face: "Did you do this before?"

"It's not something we do often, but we have experience in this. When the time comes, we'll burn this place down and leave no evidence. No one will know. If the eagle demon strikes again, as long as it's not in our defense zone, there will be others to deal with it."

After saying this, Uncle Shu Jiu still had a smug look on his face, as if this matter made him extremely proud.

"You seem to be very proud of killing innocent people and taking credit for it?" Shen Qing glanced at Uncle Shu Jiu and asked back.

"Hmm?" When Uncle Shu Jiu saw Shen Qing's eyes, his whole body shuddered and he couldn't help but frown.

The next moment, before he could react, a burst of energy from the air suddenly hit his lower abdomen.

The tremendous and powerful force suddenly exploded in his lower abdomen, causing Uncle Shu Jiu to fall heavily to the ground like a tattered sack blown into the sky by a strong wind, becoming a miserable sight amidst the flying dust.

Guan Yunjian, Jiang Dacong and others around saw this scene and screamed in shock.

Shen Qing slowly withdrew his hand and warned coldly: "If you do something like this in front of me again in the future, it will not be as simple as getting hurt."

Uncle Shu Jiu's eyes were filled with fire and he became extremely furious.

I was kind enough to give you advice, but you actually went the extra mile?

Why are you being so hypocritical?

When Uncle Shu Jiu was about to lose his temper, Guan Yunjian rushed forward to help him up and pinched his arm hard.

He reacted and glanced at Guan Yunjian, instantly understanding and suppressing the anger in his heart.

Shu Jiushu stood up, clasped his hands together, and said in unison with the others, "Yes, Sir."

Liu Sangui stepped forward and asked, "Sir, what should we do next?"

Shen Qing jumped on his horse and asked, "Where does the eagle demon usually move around?"

"I know a place." Liu Sangui said hurriedly, "I will lead the way for you now."

"it is good."

Liu Sangui hurriedly mounted his horse and rode forward.

Shen Qing followed closely.

Looking at Shen Qing's receding back, Jiang Dacong at the side couldn't help but blurt out: "He...could he be looking for that eagle demon?"

"Just him?"

Shu Jiushu rubbed his belly, his eyes full of disdain for Shen Qing: "Damn it, why are you pretending. He is a good man, and we are all evil officials. Bah, when he sees how difficult the eagle monster is, he will understand what true despair is! By then, I wonder if he can still be as arrogant as he is."

This eagle monster has been hiding among the mountains. Even if they find it, it will flap its wings and fly away, and they can't catch up with it even if they ride horses, so how can they capture it?
Besides, this eagle demon is very vengeful, and he would suffer if it holds a grudge against him.

"Don't say anything, just go over there quickly." Jiang Dacong advised.

She jumped on the horse and followed closely.

Shu Jiushu spat out a mouthful of thick phlegm, and with a look of hatred on his face, he jumped on his horse and said, "I want to see how big a wave you, Officer Shen, can make. Go!"
