Joy Inn.

Seeing the name of this inn with an inexplicable sense of déjà vu, Lu Jiu couldn't help but start thinking about whether this name had some special magic power that occupied the brains of people who opened inns in various worlds.

However, soon, Lu Jiu's eyes were attracted by the large gray car parked near the entrance of the inn, somewhat similar to the van of the previous life.

It's not that this car is so unusual, but the obviously thickened armor on both sides of its body and the scratches near the chassis tell Lu Jiu that this is not a car in Qingding City, and what is also eye-catching is the several half-meter-long metal bottles stacked in the trunk it opens, which look somewhat like oxygen cylinders for diving.

"That's our car, usually always running around Zhiyuan Mansion, the carriage is not used, or the car is convenient. ”

Noticing that Lu Jiu's gaze still had a confused expression, Ge Qiu on the side took the initiative to answer,

"As for the contents of the trunk, they are the utensils to be used later, and the results of the discussion in the past two days have only arrived today. ”

As he was talking, a young man came out of the trunk of the car, with a thin layer of sweat on his face, and hurriedly waved when he saw the two people here, obviously greeting Geqiu.

"Xiaoqing, is the boss in the inn, I brought a friend to see him. ”

Katsuchu stepped forward to greet him.

"Brother Ge, now is not a good time, the boss is angry now. ”

The young man glanced at Lu Jiu, pulled Ge Qiu aside and whispered.

"What's the matter, wasn't it okay when I went out in the morning? ”

"It's not because of the guild's mission, the boss negotiated a price with a demon vein last night, but when he went to pick up someone this morning, he was told that he had poached with the gunpowder gang. ”

"Hey, I was a little worried about whether it would be unpleasant for one more person to come over, but now that the spot is vacated, I'm here, don't worry. ”

With Lu Jiu's current hearing, the conversation between the two people was naturally clear, and he knew that he seemed to be about to become the only choice for the other party, so he stood aside silently, waiting for Geqiu to turn around and beckon him into the inn.

Follow the stairs up to the third floor.

"In our line of work, the most important thing is ability, our boss has always hoped to get acquainted with a demon vein like Brother Lu, I think if the two of them meet, they will definitely be able to drink and talk. ”

After learning from Xiao Qing at the door that there was only one option left beside him, Geqiu's attitude was inevitably a little warmer than before, and he came to the door of the private room where the demon hunting team was.

"Isn't it just a person who mixes a little demon blood, that guy's character is so bad, no matter how powerful he is, how powerful can he be, we can't do it ourselves. ”

The woman's voice, mixed with the sound of "Shu Lu~" when drinking, sounds quite bold.

"Yes, Boss, it's not like we've never met those kind of people before, so it's better for us to be brothers than to find someone we don't know to get in the way...... Sister Qixin, there will be one less person to share the bounty at that time. ”

has a rough voice, and I think I know it's a middle-aged man.

"Ahem!"

Coughing violently twice outside the door, Ge Qiu looked at Lu Jiu with a strange expression, smiled rather awkwardly, and hurriedly raised his hand to knock on the door.

Let's talk about it a few more times, can we see each other today?

......

The Qinglan Demon Hunting Team has a total of 5 members, except for Geqiu and the young man called "Xiaoqing" who was seen at the door, Lu Jiu saw the remaining three in the private room on the second floor of the inn.

Through Geqiu's introduction, the two sides also had a preliminary understanding of each other.

It happened that there was just wine and food in the private room, so he simply asked Xiao Er to add two more dishes, and talked while eating.

Ge Qiu originally wanted to explain that the words they said in the house just now were only aimed at the demon vein who released their pigeons before, but seeing that Lu Jiu did not have the slightest displeasure on his expression, he thought about it and swallowed back the words that came to his mouth, just as if nothing had happened.

When they were seated, Lu Jiu was not in a hurry to say his conditions.

Although he was eager to get the demon blood he wanted through this channel, it was obviously not wise to expose his goal too early.

However, there must still be an attitude, how can they first know what the demon beast they are going to deal with is, so that several demon hunter teams can return home, Lu Jiu is quite concerned about the extraordinary ability of this demon beast.

After all, it's more advanced than some spiny pig, the poisonous snake and the like, right?

"That's not actually a demon beast anymore, but a demon that is about to complete its mutation. ”

It was Zhou Chaolin, the captain of the Qinglan Demon Hunting Team, who was wearing a gray power suit with a Chinese character face, and his face was ugly when he mentioned the demon beast.

"Uh, youkai?"

Lu Jiu had never heard of this kind of title, so he couldn't help but be a little confused.

"I'm sorry, I was negligent, the title of the demon is the jargon between demon hunters in recent years, outsiders don't know much, especially referring to the demon beasts that have suddenly appeared in recent years is not only the body, but even the soul has some unknown changes, and they have lost their beastliness, and all that is left is ...... It's a feeling that is hard to describe, it's as elusive as ghosts, so in some places it's called weird, tricky. ”

Even after a few words of talking, Zhou Chaolin's brows were still frowning, as if he didn't want to recall too much.

"It seems that the demon that threatens the Demon Hunter Guild is very difficult to deal with, I wonder what its abilities are?"

Thinking that the mutated demon beast is still a demon beast after all, Lu Jiu then asked.

"I'm ashamed to say that the demon beast is not here to seek revenge like the rumors outside, it was originally a demon beast specially raised by our Qingding County Demon Hunting Guild in order to ensure safety, who would have thought that it suddenly disappeared some time ago, and after coming back, it has become a demon ghost, and the demon hunting team that went to investigate the situation twice ago did not guard against it at all, which led to heavy casualties. ”

"Demon Beasts Raised by the Demon Hunting Guild ......"

At this time, Lu Jiu became more and more surprised, it was just that an ordinary person like Yin Yue, who didn't know anything, was attacked by the demon beast he raised.

The demon hunters were killed by their own demon beasts, and this kind of thing is like hunting geese all day long, but being pecked blind by geese, which is really not a glorious thing.

"That demon beast's ontological strength is actually not more than the qi level, all these years of domestication have long worn out its ferocity, in fact, we still haven't figured out why it suddenly changed. ”

Xu was worried that Lu Jiu would look down on the Demon Hunting Guild, and Zhou Chaolin hurriedly added,

"It's just a mutation, as usual, there are many masters in the guild, and it's not difficult to solve a demon, but recently most of the team has gone to the Lianfeng Mountain Range, and we were going to go too, but it was delayed to catch up with this matter, as if someone had planned it......"

Lianfeng Mountains?

Lu Jiu's palm on his knee on the side suddenly tightened.

I wanted to ask, but I thought of my identity, and I opened my mouth but didn't speak.

Now is not the time.
