Starting with fishing, I've traversed a chaotic world of demons and martial arts.

Li Tianxing returned inside...

He went under the bed and pulled Lisa out.

Lisa was looking at Li Tianxing with resentment.

Li Tianxing ignored her and removed the rag from her mouth.

"Alright, the danger has passed..."

That monster was killed by your companion Paul!

Lisa had already heard the sounds of fighting and gunfire outside.

But Lisa still couldn't believe it...

Paul actually managed to take down that terrifying monster!

Lisa is not a martial artist and does not know kung fu.

Therefore, Paul's true strength is unclear.

All she knew was that Paul's realm was the third realm, the Condensation Realm.

Seeing that the danger had passed, Lisa calmed down.

At this point, the hostility towards Li Tianxing gradually subsided.

Lisa asked in confusion:

"Really?!

And what about Paul? How is he?

Li Tianxing said with a regretful tone:

"Unfortunately, Paul died in the battle with the monster..."

They also sacrificed their lives.

They essentially died together.

Li Tianxing threw away the rag in his hand and then helped Lisa untie her.

Li Tianxing said with grief and indignation:

"I was also secretly helping Paul deal with that monster."

That monster is called a water monkey in our area.

Unfortunately... in the end I still couldn't save Paul.

Paul was brutally killed by the water monkey's claws!

But Paul is a hero, and I will always remember him!

Without Paul, we'd probably all be dead here today!

Lisa stretched her stiff body.

She clasped her hands together in a gesture of remembrance and continued:

"Oh God! May God bless Paul!"

Besides Paul, did I have any other comrades who sacrificed their lives?

"You also have two male companions..."

However, it was probably eaten beyond recognition by the water monkeys.

Upon hearing this, Lisa became somewhat frustrated and downcast, and stopped speaking.

Don't be sad, there's nothing we can do about it.

Li Tianxing took out the identification that Liu Hui had handed him, which was the police identification.

He flashed his ID in front of Lisa for a moment, then said:

"The reason I infiltrated here this time is actually to investigate the whereabouts of the water monkeys."

I work for the police department in Anlan County.

So there are some things I might need to ask you, please answer truthfully.

Lisa nodded, her emotions calming down somewhat:

"Ask me anything you want to ask."

You and Paul killed the water monkey together, which can be considered protecting us.

I should thank you too.

Li Tianxing sat opposite Lisa and said in a serious tone:

"Firstly, has your research on Gu worms here been approved by your superiors?"

"Don't worry about that, you might not know this..."

But your county magistrate knows that he has been informed by his superiors.

Moreover, we studied Gu worms in Pear Blossom Village.

The main reason is that your land is fertile, close to the river, and has a humid climate.

It is quite suitable for the growth of Gu worms.

Li Tianxing nodded.

It seems the foreigners have very strong connections. It's quite possible that they used the corpses found in the mountain path for experiments with authorization from above.

The foreigners must have given the upper echelons considerable benefits...

This is also why foreigners held such a high status during the Republic of China era.

It's because foreigners gave too many benefits to those in power and gained too many privileges!

Li Tianxing continued to ask:

"Okay, then why did you suddenly evacuate when the experiment was going well?"

Lisa rubbed her bottom and answered honestly:

"I don't know either, it's just what the higher-ups told us..."

Let's evacuate quickly, or we'll be in danger at the end of the month.

Li Tianxing thought to himself...

End of the month...

Isn't the most important thing at the end of the month to worship the river god?

What dangers might occur when worshipping the river god?

Could the River God of Qinghe possibly jump out and eat people?

Or are there other reasons?

Suddenly, Li Tianxing remembered that many unfamiliar cargo ships had appeared at Qinghe Wharf.

It's normal for freight traffic to be busier at the end of the year...

But the Qinghe Wharf is secretly controlled by the Black Dragon Gang!

This made Li Tianxing think twice, after all, the two sides had a grudge!

Could the Black Dragon Gang be involved in this matter?

I can't believe that after I killed Zhang Zhengqi, the young leader of the Black Dragon Gang...

Will Zhang Xiaohao, the leader of the Black Dragon Gang, just swallow his anger and let this matter pass by?

At that time on the Qinghe River, if it weren't for Director Feng Lin...

I suspect Zhang Xiaohao will directly attack me!

Judging from Zhang Xiaohao's insidious and ruthless personality.

This matter is just going to be over so easily... No way!

The key to this matter...

They still appeared at the Black Dragon Gang and Qinghe Wharf.

Once this matter is settled, I'll fish on the Qinghe River for two days.

Take a look at which cargo ships have been having close ties with the Black Dragon Gang recently.

I'll find an opportunity to sneak onto an unfamiliar cargo ship and take a look.

After making up his mind, Li Tianxing continued:

"So your research group specializes in studying Gu worms?"

"Yes, our main research focuses on the corpse gu."

Their survival conditions are relatively simple.

Li Tianxing rested his chin on his hand...

Is the main research on corpse gu intended to allow them to control corpses on the battlefield in the future?

In that case, if a force of 10,000 men were to be wiped out, they could then be replaced with corpse-devouring insects...

Wouldn't that double the number of troops?

Moreover, the corpses controlled by this corpse gu have excellent defensive capabilities!

Although the corpse was somewhat disoriented and unable to use firearms.

But in the current environment, they are definitely a very formidable fighting force!

Li Tianxing had nothing more to ask, so he stood up and said:

"Okay, I understand..."

I'm going back to the county now. I'll bring the police officers back with me.

"Investigate and clean up the scene!"

Just as Li Tianxing was about to leave, Lisa called him back.

Lisa took a piece of paper from her pocket and stuffed it into Li Tianxing's hand:

"Wait, thank you so much for saving me this time!"

This is my business card...

We're getting ready to leave Pear Blossom Village and head to Tsukai City!

If you encounter difficulties in Jinhai City in the future...

You can come find me.

Perhaps I can offer you some assistance!

Li Tianxing smiled slightly, took the business card, and glanced at it.

[Gu Insect Research Team, Group B.]

[Deputy Research Leader: Lisa]

Well, this girl is a deputy team leader.

If I ever need to go to Jinhai City in the future, I might be able to look for her.

After all, foreigners still enjoyed many privileges during the Republic of China era.

Especially in a large city like Tianjin.

After all, Jinhai City is the capital of Luanyang Province.

Anlan County is just a small county under the jurisdiction of Tianjin Haikou City.

Oh right, if I remember correctly...

Xu's Pharmacy seems to be located in Jinhai City as well.

They were quite trustworthy; they caught thirty treasure fish for them...

They also gave me a lot of high-quality medicinal herbs.

Without the help of these medicinal herbs...

It's impossible for me to break through to the Blood Bone Realm so quickly.

Li Tianxing stuffed the business card into his pocket:

"Okay, Miss Lisa, it's fate that we meet again."

By the way, your friends are in the last room in this row.

However, they must have been eaten beyond recognition.

If you're not scared, you can go and see them...

As for your dark-skinned female companion.

They are very likely hiding across from that house.

When Lisa heard Li Tianxing say that he still had companions who survived.

She was in a great mood!

She stood up, went to Li Tianxing's side, and gave him a hug:

"You have brought me good news."

Thank you so much this time!

By the way, I still don't know your name.

Feeling the warmth of the other's body, Li Tianxing calmly said:

My name is...

We'll wait until our next meeting.

Let me tell you later.
