In Douluo, he tricked Tang Dachui at the beginning

Chapter 43 Demanding Compensation
After collecting the Big King Kong, Tian Hao carried his teachers Liu Jingang and Li Xiaohui and left here quickly. After running for several miles, he dug a hole in a secluded place and crawled into it, and camouflaged the entrance of the hole.

Next, they will have to stay here for several days until Liu Jingang's body recovers to a certain level and he can lead them out of the Star Dou Great Forest.

And this kind of recovery is not difficult. Although Liu Jingang looks terrifying now, in essence, a lot of his body energy has been drained, which is equivalent to causing the cells to become dehydrated and shriveled. He only needs to replenish the body's energy and the shriveled cells will recover quickly.

"Weapon spirits are better. Even if they evolve or mutate, they are outside the body, so the impact on the body is much weaker."

Looking at the teacher's skinny appearance, Tian Hao felt deeply about the differences in martial spirits.

Look at Tang San's spirit evolution process, and then look at his teacher's. The difference is huge.

Of course, Tang San’s martial soul was able to evolve smoothly mainly because of the assistance of the Blue Silver King, but Liu Jingang relied more on himself this time.

If it weren't for the previous practice of Iron Armor Skill to improve his physical fitness, and if Tian Hao hadn't fed him a large amount of King Kong blood in time, he would have been drained.

The evolution of martial soul itself is also very dangerous. If one's own accumulation is not enough, it can be fatal.

This can also be considered a kind of energy conservation. A martial soul cannot evolve successfully out of thin air.

Of course, there is gain for loss. Although the evolution of the beast martial soul has a great impact on the body, this impact has both positive and negative sides. After Liu Jingang recovers, his physical condition will definitely be improved to a higher level.

The three of them stayed in the cave for two days before Liu Jingang recovered a little. At least he looked like a human being, not as skin and bones as before.

However, even if he had not fully recovered, Liu Jingang felt that his strength at this moment was no weaker than before, and was enough to take the two of them out of the Star Dou Great Forest.

"Teacher, are you not going to recover?"

Tian Hao thought it would be safer to recover a bit.

"My current strength is enough to get you out safely. The rest will recover slowly on the way. Besides, their bodies can't be preserved for too long. They are evidence and also an opportunity for us to make a fortune."

Liu Jingang didn't want to delay any longer. It was not safe inside the Star Dou Great Forest, especially this area. Who knew if a ten thousand year old soul beast would suddenly jump out.

And they also need to return to town as soon as possible to deal with previous matters.

Seeing the teacher say this, Tian Hao stopped persuading them, and the three of them immediately set off and left as quickly as possible.

And Liu Jingang's soul power aura at the Soul Sect level is indeed very powerful, which makes many soul beasts dare not attack rashly.

They left the thousand-year soul beast activity area smoothly, and when they arrived at the hundred-year soul beast area, the three of them breathed a sigh of relief.

After resting here for a night, the three of them set off again, moving faster than when they first entered.

After returning to the small town, Liu Jingang first went to the post station to write a letter and asked the Eagle there to send it away. Then he took the two of them to the tavern to question them and took out the bodies of the Wild Wolf Team and the scarred man's team.

"I hope you can give me an explanation. I paid a high price to ask you to find me a reliable hunting team, but this Wild Wolf Team has enemies. We almost died in the Star Forest."

With an angry face, Liu Jingang grabbed the man by the collar and spit at him.

"Sir, calm down. Let us have our people check it out first. We will definitely give you a satisfactory explanation later."

After Liu Jingang's anger subsided a little, the man finally spoke with a smile, completely devoid of the calmness and coldness he had when they last met.

"I am here waiting for your explanation. The Empire also needs an explanation."

With a cold snort, Liu Jingang sat on the sofa, waiting for the other party's result.

"Please wait a moment. I'll get some people to check it out."

The man said something with an apologetic smile, then left quickly. After a while, he came back with a few people to examine the bodies of those people, especially to confirm their identities.

"It's Crazy Blade. I heard that the Wild Wolf Squad had a conflict with the Crazy Blade Squad in the forest not long ago. Everyone in the Crazy Blade Squad was injured, and Crazy Blade's face was scratched by the Wild Wolf.

Afterwards, the members of the Crazy Blade Squad disappeared. We thought they were afraid of the Wild Wolf Squad and fled to another town, but we didn’t expect that they were hiding and waiting for revenge.”

The identity of the scarred man was quickly confirmed, and one person whispered to the man.

"Compare the scars on their bodies to see if they were really caused by mutual attacks."

The man's face darkened and he whispered, "If that's the case, there will be a lot of bleeding this time."

This business is extremely profitable. They guarantee employers and hunting teams and take a 30% commission.

Now that something has gone wrong, they naturally have to pay compensation.

Otherwise, once their reputation is ruined, people will not come here and will go to other towns instead.

The only thing you can do is spend money to avoid disaster and use gold soul coins to shut people up.

Pit!

Several people continued to be busy, examining the wounds on the bodies of both sides, especially those fatal wounds, and comparing them with the information on the martial spirits and soul skills possessed by the two teams.

"It is basically confirmed that this was the result of a fight between the two parties. Kuang Dao was killed by a heavy blow. The scars on his body match those on the other person's boxing gloves, and the knife marks on the boxing gloves also match Kuang Dao's fourth soul skill.

The wolf's body was also cut in half by the mad knife. The wound caused by the sawtooth mad knife is very special and easy to identify. The wounds of the others were also confirmed."

After a careful inspection and confirmation, several people reported to the man in a low voice, which made the man's face even darker.

It's basically confirmed that it's indeed their fault.

If the other party died in the Star Dou Great Forest, there would be no evidence and they would not have to care. But now that he has come out alive and came to them, they can only pay compensation.

As for the assassination, that person is not without background. He is a member of the empire, with a regular position, and a letter had been sent out before coming to them.

If we really kill him and the empire investigates, not only will it be difficult to continue this business, but we will also be wanted by the empire. It will be a loss.

"Take the things they have and ask Lord Nightcat to investigate."

However, the man still held on to his last hope and asked someone to ask Lord Night Cat to investigate.

Lord Night Cat's martial soul is an owl, which is extremely fast, and he is a soul king. He can intimidate the soul beasts outside the forest and fly at full speed without any scruples. According to the distance, he can fly back and forth in a few hours.

The men took the order and left, and the man continued to accompany them.

Five hours later, a tall and thin old man holding a black cat walked in. He glanced at the man and said, "There are two battlefields. One has traces of a large soul beast fighting, and the other has two teams fighting. My little black found a hidden cave a few miles away where the Mad Blade team lived for a while."

After talking about the results of the investigation, the old man left with the black cat in his arms. He never even looked at Liu Jingang and the other two, completely ignoring them.

Seeing that the old man didn't pay any attention to them, Liu Jingang and the other two finally breathed a sigh of relief.

They were really afraid of leaving behind any clues about soul bones, which would be a trap.

Fortunately, the soul bone appeared suddenly and neither side expected it. Tian Hao then knocked the soul bone out, which quickly triggered a bloody battle between the two sides. Finally, he quickly killed the witnesses and cleaned up the battlefield. Those people had no time to leave any clues, and the only one was found by Tian Hao.

"Sir, this is indeed an oversight in our work. It is our responsibility. According to the contract we signed before, we will compensate you with 15,000 gold soul coins. In addition, I will personally compensate you with 5,000 gold soul coins. The property on them will also belong to you. I hope you can keep it a secret."

The man smiled and walked forward to negotiate, saying that it would be best to settle it privately, otherwise if the sign was damaged, the loss would be even greater.

Liu Jingang did not respond immediately. He thought for a while with a gloomy face before agreeing.

"I understand your rules. This incident is my bad luck. Since the compensation has been paid, I will not pursue it."

The main reason he came back this time was to ask for compensation. Apart from the appearance of the soul bone, the situation itself was just like that, and this compensation was what he deserved.

He also needed a large sum of money to smooth over the relationships with higher-ups and prepare for competing for the position of dean.

After becoming a Soul Master, he didn't want to wait any longer!
