Chapter 425 Monster Hunting
Lieutenant Lei has a somewhat stubborn and rigid character, and is really hard to talk to. Moreover, the minimum age for members of the Demon Suppression Division to do tasks is over fifteen years old. Although Shen Ping and Lian Nishang are both third-level bloodline awakeners and stand out in the school, but this This is the regulation of the Great Xia Dynasty.
Of course, this kind of regulation has long been in name only, especially as the evil spirits become more and more rampant, the members of the Monster Suppression Department in various places are stretched thin, and many prefectures and counties even let the second-level academy students start to do tasks.
"Monsters are not easy to deal with. You don't have any experience. Even if you are at the third level, your real strength when facing monsters is only at the second level. If you are scared stupid, you will not be as good as a first-level awakened person."
Lieutenant Lei looked at Shen Ping, "It's not easy for the county's Demon Suppression Department to train you. I can't just watch you die."
No matter what Lieutenant Lei said is true or false, he did things according to the regulations.
Shen Ping couldn't say anything. He could only say: "Master Lei, Nichang and I just want to accumulate some experience. We can go on missions with the experienced members of the department and fight against others."
Lei Xiaowei was silent.
There have been a lot of monsters in various parts of the county recently. The Monster Suppression Department has lost three or four old members. Even he, the school captain, frequently goes on missions. Many of his subordinates have occasionally suggested that the little guys in the school join them. Action can relieve the pressure to some extent.
It’s just that he never agreed.
Now Shen Ping takes the initiative to mention it. If he refuses again and the news gets out, his subordinates will definitely be dissatisfied. They already have complaints. If he continues to be dissatisfied, his prestige as a captain will obviously be damaged.
“Master Lei, Nishang and I can issue a military order. If something happens during the mission, it will definitely not be the problem of the Demon Suppression Department.”
Hear this.
Lieutenant Lei made a serious face, "I am not afraid of taking responsibility, but I am thinking about you... That's all. Since you insist on doing the task, I have agreed, but you must obey the instructions of the senior members of the department. You must not act rashly. If you let me know, no matter how things go, you will not be able to participate in any missions in the future."
Shen Ping immediately said: "Yes, I will obey the captain's words."
Return to the residence.
The girl Nishang has been waiting for a long time. When she saw Shen Ping, her clear and beautiful eyes were full of expectation.
“Alas, Master Lei is hard to convince!”
“But it’s still not a problem for me.”
Ni Shang's delicate and gentle face suddenly fell down, but her next sentence made her smile happily. She came close to Shen Ping and said happily: "Hehe, Ni Shang knew that Brother Shen would definitely succeed, and now she can finally go out and kill monsters! "
Shen Ping smiled and said, "What I said before..."
Lian Nishang's face turned red, then she took out a pink purse from her waist, put it directly into Shen Ping's hand, turned around and ran away with a shameful face.
Shen Ping was stunned for a moment, pinched his wrinkled pink purse, and laughed dumbly, "I wanted to embarrass this girl, but I didn't expect that I had already done it."
The purse is filled with fragrance, which seems to have the flavor of youth.
The next day.
Lei Xiaowei ordered him and Lian Nishang to get ready and go to Jizhen for a mission three days later. A member of the Demon Suppression Department named Yan who was in charge of the mission that day came to Shenping Courtyard.
“Yes, you have a strong bloodline aura, and it seems that you are among the best among the third level.”
Yan Jin was worried at first, but when he sensed Shen Ping's aura, a smile appeared on his face, "There are three members in this mission. Except for me, the other two are both level two, plus you and another novice." , I guess there won’t be any problem.”
Shen Ping asked hurriedly, "Brother Yan, I wonder what this mission is?"
“Several wolf monsters are making trouble, and the leading wolf monster has not yet broken through to the third level.”
“You have to prepare well these three days.”
"yes."
Monsters are inherently stronger than humans. At the same second level, humans are no match for monsters. The leader of the wolf demon is in the late second level, so the monster suppression department must have third-level members in charge.
Next, Shen Ping began to make preparations. He had already broken through the fourth level, but he had never seen a monster in this world. It was necessary to make more preparations. Besides, she also had neon clothes, so she had to give her some protection. thing.
Of course the most important thing is that he wants to see if what he has studied over the years is effective.
“Using the blood-stained wood as the base and your own blood as the guide, you can outline the spiritual pattern... let’s call it a blood talisman!”
What he is best at is talismans and seal scripts.
Although there are no such things as talismans and seals in this world, there are corresponding materials that store the abilities of bloodline users, such as blood-stained wood, red-fire flowing silver... Blood-sinking wood is more common and can be bought in the county, but red-fire flowing silver is very rare. rare.
Made twelve blood talismans in one go.
Five of them are thunder shields, four are thunder nets, and the remaining three are thunder flames. They are all thunder bloodline abilities that he is good at. Other students have to spend a lot of time to practice and master this method, but he understands After the principle of meridian circulation that it stimulates, it can be used instantly.
The time soon came for departure.
Lian Nishang put on the uniform worn by the Demon Suppressing Division, with a black base and the Demon Suppressing Division's unicorn pattern on it. There were gold lines on the edges of the belt and cuffs, and her hair was also combed into a ponytail. With a single ponytail, she looks delicate and childish, yet a little more heroic.
"You two ride on the same horse, don't fall behind."
Yan Jin, the leader, said.
Shen Ping nodded.
Lian Nishang was not shy, but rather excited. She got on her horse and sat in front of Shen Ping. She didn't say anything even though she was held by Shen Ping in one hand.
Smelling the fragrance of the hair on Nishang's neck, he stuffed two thunder shields and a thunder flame talisman into the pocket inside her sleeves, "Remember to use the power of your own blood to activate these blood talismans at critical moments."
“Brother Shen, what is the blood talisman?”
“It’s similar to the Mu Shen card.”
Mu Shen Card is the kind of life-saving item used by the Demon Suppressor to store abilities.
Lian Nishang said "Oh". Although he was surprised, he didn't ask any more questions.
Drive!
Riding a horse, Shen Ping followed Yan Jin and others in front. After riding fast for more than half an hour, they arrived at Jizhen. Every town in the Great Xia Dynasty had non-staff personnel from the Demon Suppression Department. These people were responsible for collecting Intelligence information and coordination of cases within the jurisdiction of towns and villages.
Yan Jin didn't even take a break, so he asked the coordinator to lead them to the mountains and forests near Jizhen.
At this time, the sun is poisonous.
People are covered in sweat from the sun. Although blood people can use the power of blood in their bodies to resist the heat and cold, they cannot use spiritual light to protect their bodies and maintain a constant temperature like monks. They can only break through the fifth level and reach the star level. , so that you can not be afraid of any harsh environment.
Just reached the edge of the mountain forest.
Yan Jin and the others were covered in sweat. The black unicorn suits themselves absorbed heat. Sweat dripped from their foreheads, and they could only resist it with the power of their blood.
However, after entering the mountain forest, there was a cool force blowing, as if drinking an ice-cold Coke on a hot summer day, making people feel refreshed. However, the faces of the group became solemn. This coolness was clearly evil.
Listen to the conversation in front of you.
Shen Ping looked around the mountains and forests, with a bit of expectation in his eyes. This was the first time he entered the mountains and forests after his reincarnation. His parents had always stopped him when he was a child, so he was still full of curiosity about the mountains and forests. He wanted to know what was in the mountains and forests. What can make monsters continue to be born, and the white-headed fruit.
As we go deeper. The cool air became stronger, and fog gradually began to appear in the forest. As the fog became bigger and bigger, there was a fishy smell of grain in the air. It was obvious that they had come to the area where the wolf demon was active, and there might even be wolves now. The demon is targeting them.
Yan Jin warned: "Everyone be on alert, monsters will attack at any time."
As he said that, he and the other two members of the Demon Suppression Department drew their demon swords.
Seeing this, Lian Nishang came up to Shen Ping and muttered: "Brother Shen, didn't the school teacher say that the scale fire lantern can dispel the fog of these evil spirits? Why didn't Master Yan and the others use the scale fire lantern?"
Before Shen Ping could speak, Yan Jin turned around and said, "Girl Nishang, the school teacher probably never told you that lanterns are expensive. Our Demon Suppression Department in Li County has not received these rations from above for decades. I have been planting items, but even fire nets, tung oil and other common things used to deal with monsters are in short supply."
Lian Nishang snorted, her little face full of surprise and confusion, "How is it possible? According to the regulations of the imperial court, these things must be rationed. Every member of the demon slayer must carry them when they go out, otherwise they will be punished."
Another old member named Chen sneered: "The rules are dead. The dynasty also stipulates that you students are not allowed to go out to hunt monsters before you are fifteen years old. Haha, now that the dynasty cannot make ends meet, how can it be like before. "
Yan Jin said, "Okay, now is not the time to talk about this. Chen Ke, you are of the wind bloodline. Go check the surrounding situation first. If you find a wolf demon, send a warning immediately!"
"yes!"
After Chen Ke disappeared.
Yan Jin then said to Shen Ping and Lian Nishang: "Miss Nishang, you are of the water system. When the wolf demon appears, you can directly cover the surroundings with your bloodline ability to slow down the wolf demon. Shen Ping, you are of the thunder system. You can Cooperate with the water element to quickly carry out long-distance attacks."
“Others are on guard outside.”
"yes!"
It took another half tea time.
Chen Ke from the front sounded an urgent whistle.
Then thick fog rolled in, and the sound of whistling wind with rapid whistling came from all around.
Yan Jin snorted, and the power of his blood surged around him. Waves of powerful blood aura blew away the mist within a few dozen feet. Another man stamped his feet violently, and stone pillars sprang up from the ground, forming a thorn-like envelope. All around.
Shen Ping stood there, watching with interest as the two old members used their bloodline abilities. This ability was similar to a spell, but it was not a use of the energy of heaven and earth, but a way to tap into the hidden power of bloodline.
Ouch.
At this time, a wolf roar was heard not far away.
Soon, five giant wolves with a height of more than two meters rushed out of the thick fog and covered several feet in an instant. However, before they could reach Shen Ping and the others, they were pierced by sharp stone pillars.
“These are wolf monsters that do not have the ability to activate their bloodline. Don’t waste the power of your bloodline.”
Yan Jin sensed the surge of blood power in Lian Nishang's body and quickly reminded him.
After killing more than 20 giant wolves in a row.
Three giant wolves, more than three meters tall, gradually emerged from the thick fog. These giant wolves had thick hair, huge heads, and sharp teeth that shone with cold light. They stared at Shen Ping and others, and one of them actually spoke, "You townspeople." The guys from the Demon Division are really hateful. They just ate some mountain people and then bullied them. Sooner or later, they will eat all of you, the Demon Division."
咻咻.
The words have just fallen.
A series of sharp stone pillars rushed towards the three giant wolves like arrows.
Those ordinary giant wolves couldn't dodge this kind of attack, but these three wolf demons easily dodged, and then they rushed over the stone pillar defense line and rushed over.
The members of Jizhen who were standing on the outside rushed forward with their swords in hand without fear of death.
“Girl in neon clothes, use your bloodline ability quickly!”
Lian Nishang's little face tightened, and the blood in his body surged. After just a few breaths, waves of water quickly covered an area of tens of feet. Under these water waves, the wolf demon's speed was greatly reduced.
“Third-level water bloodline person!”
The wolf demon was startled, and when he realized something was wrong, he immediately turned around and ran away.
Without Yan Jin’s reminder, Shen Ping waved his hand to activate the thunderballs, which followed the water waves and hit the three wolf monsters at extremely fast speeds.
Chichichichi.
The slowed down wolf demon was unable to dodge. Thunder and lightning flashed all over its body, and its three-meter-tall body was soon paralyzed.
“Third-level thunder bloodline!”
Yan Jin smiled and said, "I don't know until now. It's too late."
He rushed to the side of the wolf demon in a blink of an eye, ignited flames with his waist knife and chopped off the wolf demon's heads one by one.
With the death of the three wolf monsters.
The surrounding fog gradually became lighter.
Chen Ke, who was exploring at the front, quickly returned.
“The wolf demon leader took the other wolf demons and fled deeper into the mountain forest.”
Yan Jin nodded and said with a smile, "Keep chasing. We have three third-level ones on this trip. It will be easy to kill these wolf demons."
Through the scene just now, he knew that Shen Ping and Lian Nishang were indeed genuine third-level bloodline people, and they were not frightened when facing monsters. At least under protection, they could fully display their third-level strength, which was enough.
Another old member also laughed, "With the third-level cooperation of water and thunder elements, this mission will be easy."
Chen Kedao: "I hope there will be a lot of gains."
All three of them laughed.
Seeing the doubts on Lian Nishang's face, Yan Jin seemed to guess what she was doubting about and said, "The reason why you are allowed to reveal the third level directly is to test your strength on the one hand, and to scare the wolf demon on the other. They fled deeper into the mountains and forests, and that’s where their awakened bloodline was born.”
Chen Ke echoed: "Yes, the lair where the monster awakens is very hidden, but in that environment there is a chance of natural treasures, such as the white-headed fruit that can be awakened the day after tomorrow. If we can get a few, it will be better than the reward for completing the mission." There is still money to be made.”
“You are still young and you will know the importance of money later.”
Yan Jin grinned and said, "Chen Ke, they both have third-level bloodlines when they are only twelve years old. Tsk tsk, they will definitely become captains in the future, or even break through to fifth level and become generals. How can they worry about money."
The three of them were talking and laughing, and their words were much more enthusiastic about Shen Ping and Lian Nishang.
…
