Chapter Twenty-Seven: Xu Fu's Story
"Boom!" There was an earth-shattering bang, as if a kilogram of high explosives had exploded near your ears, shattering all the glass in the glow. But no one poked their heads out to see the excitement, and no one dared to turn on the lights. After the loud noise, it was as if nothing had happened, and the tranquility of death was restored. Yuan Xiao didn't look at the mess of meat on the ground anymore, and walked straight to Zhou Ran.
Zhou Ran turned around, glanced at the broken minced meat, swallowed his saliva, and tried his best to look at Yuan Xiao calmly.
"I'm not very good at threatening people. Yuan Xiao then put away the ebony under the cover of darkness, and no one noticed anything unusual, "Go back and tell your dad, I don't like trouble, if my newsstand is in trouble, or at the opening ceremony, I will kill you all if I see someone from your family." ”
Yuan Xiao stretched out his hand and pinched Zhou Ran's nervous face, and continued, "Okay, let's go home and resume our lives." Zhou Ran nodded stiffly, instructed his subordinates to quickly pack up the pile of "things", and drove away in a smoke.
Yuan Xiao looked at a group of big men who were spitting and cleaning up minced meat, shook his head in boredom, and went upstairs to go home. For the original owl, killing is like a normal person washing clothes. You can wash it once a day, or once a month, and if it's sloppy, you can wash it once a year. Frequency is not the key, the key is that people like Yuan Xiao have already regarded killing people as a trivial matter like washing clothes, which is terrifying
Within two minutes, Yuan Xiao had forgotten all about the fact that he had just killed a person with a single shot. He only knew that as long as Zhou Ran's family was smart enough, he would not use this matter to make a fuss, but would wipe his ass wholeheartedly. Moreover, Zhou Ran's father sent Zhou Ran over today to test this time, which is also a good move that kills two birds with one stone that Yuan Xiao admires a little.
"If you don't have a brain, you will be played to death by your dad sooner or later. Yuan Xiao commented a few words on Zhou Ran, jumped on the bed and began to concentrate on thinking about things.
Today's side face in the moonlight, there is no doubt that it is Sun Haiqing.
Although she has already revealed her hideous demonic characteristics, her hands have turned into sharp claws, and her skin has become scaly armor, but she still retains a trace of humanity in her consciousness, and she did not kill Song Ming and Chen Ke, otherwise she would not have been able to wait for herself to rush over, and these two people would have already become pieces.
"If it were only because of the Shadow Spider's charm skills, she would still be in human form, and she would no longer be able to be autonomous, and if she was originally a demon, I couldn't have been unaware of it before, and the stench on her body that could freely disguise herself as a human demon was not so easy to hide. Yuan Xiao rubbed his temples, unable to understand what happened to Sun Haiqing.
With a flash of inspiration in his mind, Yuan Xiao bounced up from the bed, rushed to his large cabinet and rummaged, and found a tattered book.
The two desolate characters of "Demon Hunting" are engraved on the title page of the book, and no amount of dust can hide the sharpness and light of these two words.
This book is a "basic guide" that everyone who joins the Witcher's Guild will receive, and will later change the version according to the level of different witchers.
Yuan Xiao had already gone to Dante a few days ago to change the version of the "soldier" rank, and before he could see it, he was pressed at the bottom of the box, but now it is just in handy.
The original owl has a slight reading habit, and if you don't read it, you have to read it all without falling a bit. For example, many people will skip the title page and the origin of the union and run directly to the value and combat style of each demon, but the original owl is unhurried, starting from the beginning and seeing the end.
An hour later, Yuan Xiao had a general idea of what was new after his level had risen up.
The first is the origin of the Witchers' Guild.
The original president's name was Xu Fu.
Yes, it is the warlock who took the hope of the First Emperor to seek immortal medicine. But Xu Fu was not a simple charlatan back then, the skills of a monk were superb, and there was a legendary "god fight" who asked the gods to come up, otherwise the first emperor would not have trusted Xu Fu so much. But what Xu Fu didn't expect was that the "Immortal Mountain" he found for the first time was a sealed passage between hell and the world.
What's even more desperate is that this seal has been broken for some reason, and many demons can forcibly break through the seal and rush into the world. When the fleet led by Xu Fu landed on the island, it was the time when the demons appeared in large numbers. Xu Fu was also forced to retreat with a group of self-trained monks, but he still suffered heavy losses, and the army of the First Emperor was completely annihilated.
At the critical moment, Xu Fu seemed to have the aura of the protagonist, and the "divine fight" he used did not attract the so-called "immortals" for some reason, but he had a connection with a powerful ancient demon under the seal.
The demon slayer wants to come to the world to wreak havoc, and Xu Fu is in need of the power of the demon slaying, with the help of the demon slaying, Xu Fu rode a thousand, fighting with a serious injury, and actually killed the demon who rushed out, but he was almost dying, and was rescued by the remnants of the alchemist, the demon slayer completed the contract, out of contempt for the weak race of human beings, he did not swallow Xu Fu's soul, but left directly, but how strong the power of the demon slaying was, and the remaining demon power at the time of leaving was enough for Xu Fu to call for wind and rain in the human world.
Later, Xu Fu returned to the Qin State, and with this demonic power, the golden cicada broke out of its shell and actually escaped from the side of the First Emperor. But the power of killing demons is not something that ordinary people can bear, just suppressing the demon killing to occupy his body, Xu Fu is already exhausted.
But one day, he suddenly discovered that this power could be controlled and improved through "human desires and sins", so he devoted himself to research and put forward a large number of power system theories, which laid the foundation for the birth of the "Seven Sins Sect", a power dedicated to demon hunters.
Xu Fu is a priest, and the curse-like obsession of "Immortal and Immortal Pill" still haunts him. At this time, he suddenly discovered that some of the substances on the demonic body he brought back seemed to be able to be used to refine the so-called "Immortal Immortal Pill", which was many times better than all kinds of mundane things in the world.
But after all, his strength is limited, and he lacks skills, so he can't obtain the demon's body for a long time. So Xu Fu changed his face, opened a sect, taught Fangshu, and then sent his disciples to look for the wandering demons, and promised that as long as he could bring back the demon's body and hand it over to himself, he would get more Fangshu as a reward.
This was the beginning of the entire Witcher Guild, and later guilds followed these traditions, including the law of exchange for demonic remains. But today's demon remnants are no longer used to refine any elixir, but through continuous experiments, many items that can effectively fight demons have been made. For example, the mutated "Demon Dog Leader" that the original owl hunted last time can make a lot of "Medicine Blunt" and "Abyss Armor". The former can slow down some agile demons, while the latter can save someone's life at a critical moment with their excellent resilience.
Sun Haiqing's change is very much like signing a demonic contract that he can't control.
"After all, if I sign a contract with you, will it end badly?" "How can you slander us like this!" Orkus looked innocent, "You are the ones who seek us to gain strength, and you are the ones who scold me, and we have to endure hardships and fatigue to accompany you to kill your kind, and finally receive a small reward, is there a problem?"
Ren Yuanxiao was thoughtful, and he was also confused by Orkus for a while before he suddenly reacted.
"Fart, kill your kind, you usually don't do much in hell?" Yuan Xiao grimaced, "Moreover, with your own strength alone, you should not be able to get out of that special 'seal' of hell, right?
Orkus was not embarrassed to be exposed, haha laughed for a moment, and said, "Ah, forget you know this." I don't know that the one who killed a thousand knives actually strengthened the three hundred and sixty-seven passages from hell to the world in the world. Moreover, the most odious thing is that this person knew that the seal would eventually lose its effect due to the continuous weakening of its power, so when he set the seal, he changed his method, and instead of using the 'Seal of Annihilation' of killing and killing as usual, he used the 'Seal of Heavenly Selection' of screening and isolation. Speaking of "Chosen Seal", Orkus rarely showed a hint of hatred.
"The stronger the demon like us, the greater the resistance when it hits the seal again, and some weak miscellaneous pieces will be easier to pass through the hole, and the power they lose through the seal will be used to strengthen the seal, forming a cycle that makes it more difficult for us great beings to come out. The hatred was fleeting, and Orkus resumed his sustenance, shrugged his shoulders, and continued to swim in the sea of blood.
"Actually, I've been thinking about how to wipe out you, the 'great being', when I die. Yuan Xiao calmly talked about his life and death, without any fear.
"Why bother!" Orkus grieved, "you see, I just want your wonderful body, you can even give it to me now, and then stay here and sleep and watch me destroy everything, what a perfect deal! Besides, isn't it your intention to destroy this world......"
"Then do you know what happened to Sun Haiqing" Yuan Xiao knew that this guy must have spied on something today.
"Looks like I was tricked into signing something. Orkus glanced at the Throne of Bones, intentionally or unconsciously, eager to try. "As you know, my people are experts in negotiating, and your intelligence is completely incomprehensible enough to understand our layout, so it's easy for us to get into it, but in any case, her current situation is a bit strange. ”
"What's strange?" asked Hara.
"She doesn't have the willpower you have to shake the grip of the contract. The reason why she was able to have a certain sense of autonomy came from the battle of different racial forces in her body, which weakened the control of her mind. Orkus frowned, a little puzzled.
"You mean, there are two demonic powers in her body?" asked Hara.
"Yes. But this is impossible, because she can't bear the mental exertion of two contracts, unless she ......"
"Unless what?"
"Anyway, do you know the core? That is, if the demon has undergone a mutation, it will form a crystal in the body, and this crystal, in principle, can give you the power of a weak race, but that thing is hard to find, shouldn't it......?"
Yuan Xiao sat on the throne of bones, his fists clenched.
He understood, what had happened.
