Kiriba is sick.

The day after Lu Ling and Tong Ye set up a three-day period, Tong Ye fell ill, and he fell ill very suddenly. Lu Ling was not dissatisfied with this, but just told Tong Ye to recover her health quickly, while she herself was still doing the work of a hunter.

On the first day, she still didn't find the demon, but she found some clues from the traces left by some demons, and on the other hand, Juli also drew her the general range of the demon's activities from the news of the missing person in recent days.

Time passed quickly, and it was already 23:59:58 at this time.

- Didi. Drip. Drip.

Another day passed.

After six hours of sleep, Lu Ling woke up early again and started the next day's demon hunting work. She went to the Special Data Processing Center first and asked Juli for the documents she had talked about yesterday about the scope of the demon's activities. At this time, the special data processing center is very different from half a month ago, full of cluttered documents, and the table that could have been used for people to drink tea and rest has long been covered by various documents.

Juli apparently hadn't closed her eyes all night, her eyelids drooped weakly, the circles under her eyes were like mangosteen skin, and her hair was loose from unkempt, making her look a little unkempt.

She yawned, found a file bag from the messy papers, and handed it to Lu Ling.

"There's no need to wake up so early, children have to sleep 10 hours a day, otherwise they won't grow tall. ”

"Then I've heard that adults need to rest for 7 hours a day, and be careful that lack of sleep will make you old. ”

Lu Ling said unceremoniously. At the same time, he grabbed a slice of toast from Juli's bag, put it in his mouth, opened the paperwork, and went out.

"You kid......"

The work in the morning was not so smooth, but Lu Ling had a hunch that she would definitely be able to find the demon tonight, so after determining the approximate location, she sat down at a nearby coffee shop. Demons are generally active at night, and during the day, they will basically find a place to hide, and it is not easy to be discovered. Lu Ling didn't want to spend energy on this, now she just had to wait, and when it got dark, the demons would naturally appear.

At two o'clock in the afternoon, Lu Ling called Tong Ye.

"Hey, it's me, Lu Ling. ”

"I know. ”

"Are you feeling better?"

"It's much better, but my head is still a little heavy...... I'm sorry. ”

"Don't say it, just get some rest. ”

Lu Ling hung up the phone.

She looked at the sun as it gradually approached to the west, and a familiar feeling welled up in her mind. That feeling of being alone again.

Two o'clock in the morning.

There was dead silence in the depths of the alley, no light reaching there, and no one seemed to be approaching, so the sound of breathing hidden in the darkness was undetected, even if it was so clear.

The road that had not been repaired for a long time was bumpy, and it gurgled when I walked past.

A drunken man staggered through the mouth of the alley, and the next moment he disappeared into the darkness of the forest, and even the cry of fear was so brief that one thought it was the cry of a wild cat. The smell of blood disappeared into the pungent stench of garbage, and the alley was meant to be a garbage dump.

What people do to this alley, now this alley is the same as how to treat people.

"The smell of blood. ”

Lu Ling stood at the mouth of the alley and muttered to herself, swinging her knife and sweeping forward, the smell of rot suddenly disappeared, leaving only a disgusting smell of blood in the air. She was a little excited, because she knew she was not far from finding her prey.

"Come out. ”

She said to the darkness that seemed to be nothing.

In the darkness, the sound of Suosuo gradually came from the depths, gradually approaching the entrance of the alley, with the sound of deep breathing. It is like a catfish at the bottom of a mud pond, opening its big mouth and slowly approaching its prey.

It was a black-green monster with a whole body, and the reason why it was black-green instead of dark green was because the green on its body was really dull, and it might have something to do with the half-bright cold lights around it.

The monster is not too tall, and it is bare and hairless. The yellow eyes are like dull paraffin wax, full of cruelty and lust, and there is no rational component at all.

Behind him are a pair of shrunken black bat wings, like two towering umbrellas.

When it came out, it was still licking the remaining flesh from its nails with its scarlet tongue.

Lu Ling raised her knife without hesitation and slashed at the parasitic species. The monster stretched out its palm with sharp claws and tried to hold off the slashed "Fei Lian", but the blade instantly cut off the claws. The monster quickly fell backwards, the sword light grazing the monster's chest, and cyan blood immediately oozed from the slightly torn wound.

Lu Ling knew that she had cut shallowly, and before the first knife completely fell, the second knife had already chased after her, and the seemingly retreating offensive became fierce again.

The bat wings that retracted behind the monster suddenly opened, and it let out a long, high-pitched roar, and its body quickly retreated with the updraft. In this way, Lu Ling's second knife was cut into the air again.

The demon vibrated its wings and lunged over, its claws growing back. Lu Ling dodged the claws with a low body, and the knife in his hand slashed upward, and the monster dodged the knife sideways, but its body suddenly froze in midair.

Dots of pale blue light filled the surroundings, and the wind enveloped the demon's body, making it unable to move.

"Fei Lian" quickly slashed at the head of the demon imprisoned by the wind, cyan hot blood splashed, the monster screamed, with the powerful power of the body, at the moment when it was about to be slashed by the knife, it forcibly twisted its body and dodged the fatal blow of "Fei Lian", instead, its entire left arm was unloaded by Lu Ling's shoulder.

The sharp pain consumed a lot of the monster's physical strength, and it was once again imprisoned by the wind around it, and the burning blood gushed out from the severed arm. The knife in Lu Ling's hand suddenly slammed up, and the monster's right arm was also cut off.

Just as she raised her knife to deliver the final blow to the demon, she was surprised to find that the demon's wound was healing rapidly.

When Lu Ling marveled at the demon's powerful regenerative ability, the flesh and blood on its right arm had grown again, and the entire drooping arm was trembling rapidly, as if something had stabbed into the arm, and then the limp arm became stronger, as if it had grown bones.

The monster in the wind roared, and its newly grown body seemed to have more power than before, but even so, it was still difficult to escape the strong wind pressure that pressed on its body.

But at this moment, a burst of gray smoke suddenly appeared in the darkness deep in the alley, this smoke was very strange, it was difficult to be dispersed by the wind, and when the smoke touched the thick air on the demon's body, the originally condensed wind turned into blue wind mana and dissipated into the air in an instant.

- Not good.

The monster's body sprang out of the wind as fast as an arrow, its knees jerking up, accompanied by a sharp pain in its abdomen. Lu Ling felt her body floating in the air, she saw the monster vibrating its wings and chasing after her, quickly using the air beside her to stabilize her body, and the knife in her hand waved away without hesitation.

However, the moment she slashed the Wind Blade out, another puff of gray smoke drifted out from the depths of the alley and landed on the Wind Blade. The Wind Blade immediately disintegrated, and the length that Fei Lian had originally extended was gone, and the distance between her sword and the demon had invisibly widened a lot.

Poof-

The sour cyan blood and the fishy red blood are intertwined.

The knife slashed off the monster's arm, and the monster's arm pierced her shoulder with its claws.

The monster quickly recoiled in a roar of pain, and it was not difficult to see from the bruises that had erupted all over its body and the body that had not grown back that it could not recover so indefinitely even if it had an amazing ability to grow.

The sharp pain spread from the wound, Lu Ling was trembling all over her body in pain, she held the knife in one hand, and suddenly pulled out the monster's claws with the other hand, and blood gushed out, forming a pool of blood on the ground. But what shocked her the most was the gray smoke just now, if it wasn't for that smoke interference, then the demon should have been pierced by Fei Lian first, then she wouldn't have been hurt.

But even in the current situation, Lu Ling knew that she had won, the monster could not recover in a short period of time, and although she was also seriously injured, it was more than enough to use the remaining strength to hack the monster to death.

Is there anyone nearby?

She didn't have time to think about it, gasping for breath and lifting her knife to force it at the monstrous monster, the smoke giving her a sense of unease, and she felt that she had to end the monster's life quickly. Sensing the threat to its life, the monster kept retreating, its eyes gradually showing panic, it cried out loudly, as if to cry for help, and looked into the depths of the alley from time to time.

Lu Ling's knife flashed with dark blue wind mana, and the swirling wind turned into a sharp blade that extended Fei Lian's body, she raised her hand, as long as she swung it down, the demon would definitely die.

However, that gray smoke came out for the third time, and Lu Ling's spell quickly collapsed under the effect of the smoke.

At this time, she heard the voice of a middle-aged man.

"Is this the eldest lady of the Lu family?"

The sound came from the pitch-black alley behind the monster.

The sound of clattering footsteps came out, which seemed to be produced by the tapping of large leather boots and the ground, and the footsteps were getting closer and closer.

Out of the darkness behind the monster came a tall figure, he was draped in an overcoat, and the curls on both sides fell from his temples. With dark sunglasses on his face, he covers the upper half of his face tightly. There is also a gray scarf around his neck, almost enclosing the lower half of his face in it.

Lu Ling squinted her eyes and smelled danger from this man.

The man stood in front of the demon with a smile on his face.

"I'm a demon lover, you can call me a bugger. ”

He took off his hat and saluted, his long hair hanging down.

"Get out of the way. ”

"I know you're in terrible health right now, and I think it's okay to deal with a little girl like this. ”

Lu Ling took a deep breath, obviously the other party had seen through her cover-up, when she tried to kill the demon just now, she had exhausted her remaining strength, and now the wound was constantly expanding, and the blood was flowing all the time, and her face had become pale.

She didn't answer immediately, because the tingling pain from the wound forced her to grit her teeth and endure it, and the entire left half of her body spasmed uncontrollably from the pain and blood loss.

"To be honest, I really didn't expect to be able to meet people from the Lu family in such a remote place. ”

Lu Ling heard the man reveal his identity, and his face became gloomy again,

"You're the one who put the demon eggs, aren't you?"

"So to speak. ”

"What is the purpose of you putting so many parasitic seeds?"

"I can't say the purpose, I'm just a pet owner. ”

“...... How can pet owners watch them being killed one by one?"

It's not hard to explain, I'll give you an example. Let's say you breed 10,000 goldfish, but the varieties are uneven, and maybe only one will end up being collectible, so why should I keep the worthless waste until I find that one that is valuable, and let them fend for themselves, even if it is good to use it as fertilizer in the field. I'm only interested in premium varieties like ...... This child. ”

He said, turning his head to look at the monster standing beside him.

"It's my prey now. ”

Lu Ling lifted the knife, but the sharp pain from the left half of her body forced her to put the knife on the ground.

"I suggest you don't push yourself, it won't do you any good. ”

"That's my own business, and it has nothing to do with you. ”

Lu Ling raised her head and said stubbornly, the action of raising her head tore the wound open again, blood gushed out from the placket of her clothes, and the monster could no longer resist the temptation of the smell of blood, and rushed towards the girl quickly.

It opened its mouth, and when its mouth full of sharp teeth was about to bite off the girl's neck, an indifferent command came from the silent air.

"Stand down!"

The insect master's cold voice rang out.

The mad demon really stopped, it looked at the girl unwillingly, kept swallowing saliva, but its body was retreating little by little, and finally returned to the insect master.

"Speaking of which, I have a proposal. Is there any interest in talking about it. ”

"I have nothing to talk to you about. ”

"You listen to me patiently first, you young people really don't have patience......" The insect master didn't seem to intend to take Lu Ling's thoughts into account, but just said to himself. "This kid is growing well, but it's not the best, and I want to see what it will look like in a few days. ”

Lu Ling suddenly pulled out the knife that was stuck on the ground, it was impossible for her to agree to such a proposal from the insect master.

However, as soon as she took a step, she stumbled and almost fell, and hurriedly re-grasped the knife, barely stabilizing her body. Burning blood continued to flow from the laceration wounds, running down the clothes, dripping and splashing on the ground.

The scorching smell of blood caused the demon to swallow continuously, and even from the overflow of saliva, it came out of its mouth and hissed when it fell to the ground.

Forced by the majesty of the insect master, it did not dare to cross directly and tear apart the scarred human in front of it.

"Young people just like to push themselves. ”

Lu Ling finally couldn't support her body and fell to the ground.

This time she didn't get up again.

"Did you pass out?"

The insect master walked over and looked down at the girl. He sighed, made a phone call, and after explaining the location and the situation of the wounded, he said to the "child" behind him.

"Let's go. ”

The demon did not follow immediately, it opened its dark yellow eyes and stared at the fainting girl, its ugly mouth opened slightly, revealing its sharp teeth, its scarlet tongue hanging outside, and the burning saliva fell down the tongue to the ground.

"Let's go. ”

The insect master's voice was as cold as the air at this time, and it sounded extremely tough, and the monster turned its head sharply to look at him, and then at the girl, struggling with what was left of reason and surging desire.

"Want to eat?"

The insect master smiled again, and under the cold moonlight, that smile was very strange. The desire in the monster's eyes became more and more intense, and it even walked towards the girl.

"Sometimes, however, being too greedy can cause indigestion. ”

Gray smoke came out of his body, quickly wrapping around the monster's body, and the next moment, the demon curled up on the ground with his head in his hands and screamed.

The middle-aged man lit a cigarette, took a few puffs of smoke, and stared at the dying monster.

The monster collapsed on the ground, its whole body spasming. It resembles a fish that has been struggling and tired after coming ashore, and its body rises and falls in rapid breathing.

"Get up, let's go. ”

This time the monster did not hesitate, and got up neatly, and followed him tremblingly with a look of trepidation.
