    Plans cannot keep up with changes.  On the night when Han Yu and others had agreed to go to the Lando family's old house the next day to find out what was going on, Sophia suddenly fell ill and couldn't afford it.

    Sophia's sudden illness suddenly caused the entire Lando family to become chaotic. The housekeeper, Brad, didn't know why. He completely lost his usual stability. He was like a headless fly. Apart from running around in a hurry, he couldn't think of any solution.  come out.  I can only wait eagerly for the doctor's diagnosis results.

    "Bang." The door opened, and Brad rushed forward immediately and eagerly asked the doctor who came out: "Doctor, how are you doing?"

    The doctor shook his head slightly, "I'm sorry, Mr. Brad, we have tried our best." After saying that, the doctor sighed, as if he was also regretting that Sophia would pass away at such a young age.

    "Impossible, impossible, I don't believe it." Brad let go of the doctor's hand and muttered to himself in despair.

    Seeing this, the doctor couldn't bear to see this and said with relief: "Mr. Brad, please have my condolences. Although we Western medicine cannot cure Miss Sophia, Chinese medicine may be able to find a way."

    "Chinese medicine? Yes, find a Chinese medicine doctor, come here, come quickly!" At this time, Brad was like grabbing a life-saving straw, leaving the doctor alone, turned around and ran out.

    ……

    The Chinese medicine doctor came, an old man over sixty years old.  Brad looked nervously at the Chinese doctor who was making the diagnosis, his eyes full of hope.  Han Yu also saw Sophia who was ill at this time.  A strange blush appeared on his originally pale cheeks. At the same time, sweat kept coming from his forehead, and his breathing seemed to be short of breath.

    "This old gentleman" Brad saw Sophia's uncomfortable look and couldn't help but shout to the Chinese medicine doctor who was seeing her.

    The old man nodded understandingly after hearing this, opened a package he had with him, took out the candle inside and lit it, then took out another box, opened it, took out a gold needle from it, put it on the candle flame, burned it, and pointed it  Sophia slowly twisted an acupuncture point on her wrist.

    Slowly, Sophia's expression gradually calmed down.  As Sophia improved, Brad's expression relaxed, as if he had let go of a huge stone in his heart.

    After the Chinese medicine doctor finished the diagnosis, Brad quickly asked the Chinese medicine doctor to come to the door.  Just listen to the Chinese medicine doctor say: "Mr. Brad, please forgive me for being old and incompetent, Miss Sophia's illness"

    "Is it hopeless?" Brad asked in surprise.

    "Thisactually, it can be said that it can be saved, but it can also be said that it is not saved." The old man said hesitantly.

    Brad was confused and asked tentatively: "Old sir, I don't understand what you said. Has Miss Sophia been saved?"

    The old man heard the words and replied: "To put it simply, there is a prescription to detoxify, but this house needs a medicine, and this medicine is easy to get."

    "Detoxification? Old sir, isn't Miss Sophia sick?" Han Yu couldn't help but ask.

    "It's not illness, it's poisoning." The old Chinese doctor replied with certainty.

    Brad waved his hand to Han Yu and signaled Han Yu not to speak. He turned to the old Chinese medicine doctor and said: "Old sir, although the Lando family is no longer what it used to be, they still have some money left. Please speak frankly, old man, if you need it."  What is medicine?"

    “…The medicine needed is the blood of a three-eyed bobcat that lives in the sea of ??trees in Anting.”

    When Brad heard this, he immediately took a breath.  Even daring hunters would not be willing to enter the Anting Tree Sea if it is not necessary.  And the three-eyed short-tailed cat is a very difficult beast.  Although it looks cute, it is extremely ferocious once it enters a fighting state. In addition, it has a clever mind and a strong desire for revenge. Generally, no hunter is willing to provoke it.

    Seeing Brad's surprised look, the old Chinese doctor sighed, "Mr. Brad, the medicine is the blood of the three-eyed bobcat. If Miss Sophia cannot take the medicine within seven days, then Miss Sophia will have no choice but" Although  The last two words were not spoken, and Brad also understood that they were the words "waiting to die".

    After the old Chinese medicine doctor left, Brad stood there in silence for a long time. Finally, he gritted his teeth and turned towards the reception room on the first floor.  At this time, the reception room was full of people.  The sudden accident of my young lady left the people below at a loss.  Seeing the arrival of Butler Brad, everyone immediately seemed to have found a backbone, asking about the lady's situation and what they would do in the future.

    Brad waved his hand to everyone, and the butler's majesty made everyone shut up and quietly wait for Brad's next words.  Brad said in a deep voice: "The Chinese medicine doctor just came to see me and said that the young lady was plotted by bad people and was poisoned. As long as the poison can be detoxified, the young lady will be fine. However, the antidote is easy to prepare, and the medicine leads to  It’s hard to find. You don’t have to go overboard.Don’t worry, I will never let anything happen to the lady this time even if I risk my life.  You each go back and do your own thing. Don’t think too much about other things, I will take care of them all.  "

    Out of trust in Brad, everyone left one after another and performed their duties.  Only Han Yu and six other hunters who had come to apply for the job were left in the reception room.

    "Hmm the situation in the Lando family is like this now. If you want to leave at this time, I won't stop you. If you are willing to stay and help me, I, Brad, will be grateful to you." Brad coughed lightly.  Then he said to Han Yu and the other six.

    "Mr. Brad, I wonder why you want us to stay and help you?" one of the oldest hunters asked.

    "I hope you can enter the sea of ??trees in Anting and catch a three-eyed bobtail cat and bring it back."

    Except for Han Yu and Ning Ping, who didn't know about the three-eyed bobcat, their expressions didn't change. The expressions of the remaining four hunters all changed. The hunter who asked the question earlier said to Brad with an ugly face: "Mr. Brad, you  The request is a bit overwhelming. To be honest, with our current level of hunters, we are unable to accept the task of capturing the three-eyed bobcat. I'm sorry, but please forgive us for being unable to help."

    As if he had expected this result, Brad nodded with understanding and said: "Well, I understand what you said. Can you please release the same task for me when you return to the Hunter Guild? The reward is just  Set it at three hundred thousand stars. The deadline is within seven days."

    "There are also task restrictions, it is best to have no restrictions." Han Yu interjected.

    The old hunter glanced at Han Yu who interrupted, and asked sarcastically: "What? Do you still want to earn these three hundred thousand? Young man, don't know that the sky is high and the earth is high, and you won't know how you will die when the time comes.  "

    Han Yu ignored the old hunter and turned to look at Brad.  When Brad saw this, his heart moved, he nodded and said: "Yes, plus there are no restrictions on mission restrictions and positioning."

    The old hunter did not continue to object. Anyway, in his eyes, a dead Taoist friend is not a poor Taoist. Since there are people who do not know life and death and must die, then why should he bother to bother.  As the saying goes, it's hard to persuade a damned person with good words, so just do whatever you want.

    Before leaving, the old hunter couldn't help turning around and mocking Han Yu, "Young man, there are many ways to become famous. You don't have to risk your life just to be famous. Ouch~" The old hunter let out a scream and unbuttoned his pants.  While running outside.  Because Han Yu set his pants on fire.

    "I hate this kind of guy who relies on his elders and betrays them the most." Han Yu said plausibly to Ning Ping, who was looking at him.  Ning Ping shook his head with a wry smile when he heard this. To be honest, he didn't like the old guy's attitude.

    "Han Yu, Ning Ping, when do you plan to set off?" Brad asked aloud.

    "Well I have to go back and prepare before setting off." Ning Ping replied after hearing this.

    “Then I don’t know how long it will take to prepare?” Brad asked.

    "About a day." Ning Ping replied uncertainly.

    "Oh" Brad nodded and said no more.  Upon seeing this, Ning Ping said: "Mr. Brad, time is tight, we won't stay any longer. We will go back and prepare first. We will set off when we are ready, so I won't come to inform you."

    “Well, I’ll leave everything to you.”

    Watching Han Yu and Ning Ping leave, Brad's face darkened. He walked to a bookshelf and picked up the third book from right to left in the second row of the bookshelf. Suddenly he heard a rattling sound and the bookshelf moved toward  Panning to the right for a distance, a secret passage that could only allow one person to pass was revealed.  Brad put the book back in its place and stepped into the secret passage.  Not long after I entered, I heard a rattle and the bookshelf returned to its original position.

    After walking through the long secret passage, Brad came to the old house of the Lando family. Looking at the two people eating snacks in the room, he asked with an ugly face: "Who gave the order?"

    When the two people, one fat and one thin, saw Brad's murderous look, their legs suddenly became weak and they knelt on the ground with a plop. The fat man stuttered and replied: "Yes, it's the third in charge."

    "Yes, yes, it's the third master. The third master said that the second master has had too many good days and has forgotten his companions who are still suffering in the sea of ??trees in Anting. So" the thin man on the side said.

    "Click~"

    "ah!"

    "Did I ask you to speak?" Brad looked at the thin man coldly and said.

    Holding his twisted right hand, the thin man knelt on the ground and replied sweating profusely: "No, no."

    "Humph!" Brad snorted coldly, looked at the fat man again and asked, "Does the first boss listen to the third boss now?"

    "Yes, yes. Basically, whatever the third master says, the first master will listen to it." The fat man replied hurriedly.  He doesn't want toIf you are slow to answer, you will end up with the same fate as the thin man.

    "Third brother, you finally couldn't hold it back." Brad muttered to himself, and then asked the fat man: "Where is the antidote."

    "No, no." The fat man stuttered.

    "No?" Brad narrowed his eyes when he heard this.  The fat man was immediately frightened and said repeatedly: "It's really not true. The antidote is in the hands of the third master, but the third master didn't give it to us."

    "You go back and tell the Third Master not to play tricks in front of me. Seeing that our years of waiting are about to come to fruition, I don't want anything to go wrong at this time. Tell him what trick he has, and wait for the Lando family to do it.  Let’s talk about it after Miss’s birthday, and ask him to send the antidote immediately. Also, I don’t like the behavior of grabbing food. I will repay him for his behavior in the future. Let him be careful. Get out!”

    The fat and thin people ran out of the room as if they were granted amnesty.  My second-in-command is so scary. He was a ruthless person back then. Unexpectedly, after years of development, he is now even more frightening than before when he gets angry.

    After driving away the fat and thin people, Brad took a breath and walked to the window. He saw Han Yu and Ning Ping who had left the manor were stopped by several people.  And those people, Brad also knew, were the four hunters who had withdrawn earlier.  Brad sighed secretly when he saw this, "Okay, I'd better find someone else to go to the Hunter Guild to release the mission."

    "Hmph, boy, I want you to pay the price!" The old hunter shouted with a proud look on Han Yu and Ning Ping, who were blocking their way as they rushed to drink.

    "Huh? You change your pants very quickly." Han Yu said to the old hunter with a deliberately surprised expression.  With one sentence, the old hunter's face suddenly turned red. He gritted his teeth and yelled at Han Yu: "You can only be arrogant now. Let me tell you, don't think that knowing some superpowers means you are great. Come on,  I’ll treat everyone to a big dinner after we’re done!!”

    "Let me do it." Ning Ping stopped Han Yu who was about to try and said.

    "Huh? Well, okay. Then hurry up, we are in a hurry." Han Yu said after thinking for a while.

    ??????????????????????????????????????????????  Are we so vulnerable in your eyes?

    But in fact, it is indeed vulnerable.  If you think about it carefully, a hunter who can only serve as a security guard really has no ability. At most, he only has some brute strength.  In the eyes of the old hunter, the two young boys Han Yu and Ning Ping should be similar to them.  But this time the old hunter miscalculated. The performance of the two young men in front of him was really jaw-dropping. They were too strong.  They almost didn't see Ning Ping's movements clearly. They all, including himself, were already lying on the ground.

    "You, don't come here." The old hunter shouted to Han Yu and Ning Ping with a look of fear on his face.

    Han Yucai didn't bother to pay attention to these people who were overestimating their abilities. He didn't even bother to look at them. He directly greeted Ning Ping and said: "Ning Ping, let's go, we have to do business."

    "Um."

    Watching Han Yu and Ning Ping walk away, the old hunter stood up silently.  Ning Ping's attack just now was not heavy, it just made people unable to get up for a while.  Now the four of them had almost recovered and stood up one after another.

    “Let’s go, don’t talk about what happened today.” The old hunter reminded the other three.  Even if the old hunter didn't say anything, the other three people were too embarrassed to talk about this disgraceful record, and they all nodded to show that they knew.

    The old hunter’s episode was nothing to Han Yu and Ning Ping.  When Han Yu and Ning Ping returned to Wang Sanniang's house, the first thing they did was to tell Field, who was still recovering at Wang Sanniang's house, about Sophia's poisoning.

    "What! Sophia has been poisoned, I want to see her." Field struggled to get up and out of bed.

    "No, you're not allowed to go there now." Han Yu stepped forward and held Field's shoulders.

    "You, let me go, I'm going." Field struggled and shouted.

    “Try it, if you dare to be disobedient, see if I dare to knock you out.” Han Yu said, glaring at Field.

    "You" Field glared at Han Yu angrily after hearing this, but he was defeated soon after and said in frustration: "How can I still stay here peacefully after knowing that Sophia is in trouble?"

    "Field, do you know anything about the three-eyed bobcat?" Ning Ping stepped forward and asked.

    "Three-eyed bobtail cat? Why do you ask this?" Field asked in confusion.

    Han Yu couldn't help but slapped Field on the head and cursed: "Idiot, didn't I just say that? To detoxify Sophia's body, the blood of the three-eyed bobtail cat must be used. You guy,  When you heard something happened to Sophia, you didn’t hear anything else, right?”

    &nbsp"Hehe" Field scratched his head in embarrassment upon hearing this, and said seriously: "The three-eyed short-tailed cat is a cat that lives in the sea of ??trees in Anting. It is named after the third eye on its forehead.  But people say that it is cunning and vengeful. However, it does not like to live in groups. Generally, there is only one three-eyed bobcat on a territory. When there are more than two, it is usually for mating and raising the next generation."

    Han Yu was very interested in Field’s statement that he could understand human speech, and couldn’t help but ask: “Field, you just said that the three-eyed bobcat can understand human speech, do you mean that kind of cat can talk?”

    "Well, just like parrots or mynas can learn to talk, three-eyed bobcats can talk as long as they are taught." Field replied after hearing this.

    "Han Yu, don't interrupt." Ning Ping pushed Han Yu aside in dissatisfaction and asked Field: "Then do you know where this kind of cat usually lives?"

    “…Are you planning to go to Anting Shuhai to catch that kind of cat?” Field asked excitedly after hearing this.

    When Ning Ping heard this, he looked at Han Yu and saw Han Yu scratching his head and replying: "Well I have known Sophia for a while. This girl is not bad. Ning Ping and I don't want to watch her lose her life.  "

    "Thank you, thank you." Field thanked Han Yu and Ning Ping with tears in his eyes.

    "Tch~ I mean Field, Ningping and I went to save Sophia, not you. How can you thank me? Who are you, Sophia?" Han Yu joked with a smile after hearing this.

    "I" Han Yu's words immediately made Field's face turn red.  Ning Ping couldn't stand it, stepped forward and pushed Han Yu aside, and said to Field: "Field, tell us everything you know about the three-eyed bobcat. Time is running out. The old Chinese doctor who diagnosed Sophia is leaving.  As I said before, Sophia only has seven days. If there is no antidote when the time is up, Sophia will definitely die."

    Field was shocked when he heard this. He closed his eyes and thought for a while, then opened his eyes and said to Ning Ping, "I'll go with you."

    "You? But you are injured." Ning Ping said worriedly.

    "As you said, time is tight, and the situation about the three-eyed bobcat cannot be made clear in a short while, so I'd better go with you."

    Hearing this, Ning Ping turned to look at Han Yu and asked, "What did you say?"

    "Since he is going, then he should go. Anyway, one more is a lot, and two more are also a lot." Han Yu shrugged, glanced at Lin Ke beside him and replied.

    Ning Ping immediately understood that it seemed that this journey to Anting Shuhai would not be easy.
