Chapter 69: The Demon
Without the supernatural ability of demons and ghosts, the miasma that spread all over the mountains and fields disappeared into invisibility in a very short time.
The Qinglan Demon Hunter Team did not return to Qingding City immediately, but prepared to go to the guild station for a short rest first.
On the one hand, it is to confirm the situation in the guild station, and on the other hand, it is also to use the resources in the guild to conduct preliminary treatment of Geqiu and Xiaoqing's injuries first, after all, compared to the medical equipment in the car, all the inside of the guild are obviously more complete.
In addition, Lu Jiu's performance in the previous battle undoubtedly made him gain the respect of everyone in the Qinglan Demon Hunting Team, and Du Qi offered to help him inquire about the details of the Cold Feather Falcon.
Lu Jiu, who didn't really want to go up, immediately said as soon as possible, don't delay!
Towards dusk, the group bathed in the orange afterglow of the sunset and stepped onto the platform where the Demon Hunting Guild was located.
A three-story mechanical building built against a mountain appeared in front of Lu Jiu.
That's right, unlike the brick and stone buildings that Lu Jiu saw in Qingding City, although the buildings of the Demon Hunting Guild also used a lot of bricks and stones, they were more of steel structures, and even the architectural style was no longer the common palace pavilions, but presented a cascading semi-circular platform, which was roughly like a three-layer cake cut into general.
The vertical surface is attached to the mountain, and the arc surface is facing the mountain.
Cheng Qing took the two wounded to deal with the injuries first, and Du Qi went to the guild's internal data room to help Lu Jiu find the account of the Cold Feather Falcon as agreed.
As for Zhou Chaolin and Lu Jiu, they sat down at the stone table outside the guild and waited, and the heads of the demons were wrapped in the threads prepared in advance and put aside.
Lu Jiu actually wanted to take a look inside the building, but because of the rule that non-demon hunters are not allowed to enter the guild, he stayed outside.
Of course, he knew that if he insisted on wanting to go in, Zhou Chaolin would not refuse.
It's not something that has to be done, so there's no need to stiffen the current amiable atmosphere.
"Brother Lu, thanks to your help this time, our previous agreement is invalid, and when you get the reward this time, you deserve 2 gold leaves!"
Lu Jiu didn't take the initiative to raise the reward, but Zhou Chaolin couldn't pretend not to know, this "tool man" who was supposed to just help them guide the way not only saved their lives but also became the main person who finally got the demon ghost, and really wanted to give 60 silver dollars according to the original agreement, as soon as this matter got out, the reputation of the Qinglan demon hunting team also stinked.
"Hmmm......"
In normal times, Lu Jiu might be humble, but he is really not in the mood now.
Holding the bamboo tube containing the blood of the demon in his hand, Lu Jiu's gaze was still on the head of the demon, and the reaction of that guy before he died made him haunt him to this day.
A demon who has completely mutated and should have completely lost his mind in theory, why would he be afraid of him to die directly, and he would not even dare to give birth to the will to resist?
This is like the protagonist who has been divorced in some novels who has tried a lot of hard work to slap each other in the face, and when he is in front of others, he finally wants to turn the tables against the wind, but the woman takes the initiative to take off her essence and wash the fragrance, and then directly gets into the futon and beckons to him.
What the is this, isn't it okay to have the slightest sense of accomplishment?
Zhou Chaolin on the side saw that Lu Jiu was just looking at the sunset and pondering, thinking that the latter had just experienced a big war and needed to recover, so he didn't take the initiative to speak again.
The scorching heat of the afternoon had subsided for the most part at this time, there was no miasma, the air in the mountains was refilled, and the refreshing mountain breeze blew through the two of them, Zhou Chaolin only felt that if there were two glasses of wine, it was undoubtedly the most appropriate for the occasion, but he didn't want to leave Lu Jiu here without permission, so he had to endure it.
"Brother Zhou, that fragrant roe deer, did you have any special fear before completing the mutation? ”
Puzzled, Lu Jiu had to turn his head and ask Zhou Chaolin, hoping to get some information from him.
"There are a lot of people who are afraid, most of the qi-level demon beasts can scare it, and several masters in the guild will hide after passing it, but there should be no ones who are particularly afraid, at least I don't know, in the end, they are also qi-level demon beasts...... Why do you suddenly ask this?"
The demons and ghosts were all dead, and Lu Jiu's sudden question made Zhou Chaolin a little confused.
"It's just curious, I just wondered if these demons look so terrifying, could they be scared too. ”
The final battle scene, the people of the Qinglan Demon Hunting Team couldn't see it clearly because of the miasma, and Lu Jiu naturally didn't take the initiative to mention it.
"I don't think so. ”
Zhou Chaolin leaned on the stone table, suddenly seemed to think of something, and said again,
"But I remember hearing from the guild that most demons are afraid of certain special demon veins that are stronger than them. ”
"Special Demon Veiner?"
Lu Jiu was immediately interested.
"There are many names about them, some places are called demons, some places are called ghosts, and some people like to call them demons, because many times seeing them is equivalent to death, so there are very few records of this kind of people, even I only occasionally hear people talk about them......"
Retelling what he heard at the time, Zhou Chaolin suddenly had a somewhat absurd look on his face, and said in a deep voice,
"They said that since the demon beast will become a demon because of some kind of unknown influence, the demon vein with the blood of the demon beast in the body will naturally be affected under certain circumstances, maybe it is a riot of the bloodline, or maybe after seeing or dreaming of some kind of terrifying existence, their bodies and minds will also change, and if they can't bear this change, they will appear in the same state as the demon ghost...... I don't know much about the specific details, and I've just heard the demon veiners in the guild talk about this, a few years ago, if you don't ask, I can't remember it. ”
"And that exists?"
Hearing Zhou Chaolin's description, Lu Jiu was stunned, he had never heard of it from Hu Sanniang......
No, she seems to have mentioned it.
When she first bought demon blood from her, Hu Sanniang said that the blood riots caused by demon veiners drinking different kinds of demon blood would make them become things that were not human and ghosts.
But my spirit is clearly fine.
Could it be that the demon only showed that state when he noticed something strange in his body?
Secretly wrote down the special demon veins that Zhou Chaolin said, and then waited for Hu Sanniang to return to Qingding City, Lu Jiu must be looking for an opportunity to ask.
"Boss!"
The two of them were about to talk, but suddenly there was a shout from Du Qi from inside the guild, and he appeared at the door after a while.
"What's wrong?"
Zhou Chaolin frowned and turned back and asked.
"In the data room where I was meeting just now, I found that the door over there had been broken, and the files inside had been turned into a mess, and someone took the opportunity to enter our guild when the demons were in trouble!"
Holding a volume of files in his hand, Du Qi's face was extremely ugly.
