"What kind of weapon do you want this brother?"

Seeing that a customer came to the door, the owner of the armory shop hurriedly put down the work in his hand, ran over, and asked. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

"How do you sell this axe?"

Gu Hui pointed to the dark iron giant axe on the display table and said.

"I'm sorry, this axe was put here, and the owner of the axe said that if someone can help him complete a task, the axe will be given for free, and he will not take a penny. ”

The armory shop owner shook his head and said.

"What task?"

Gu Hui was slightly stunned and asked casually.

"Pig Kill Baby Eater Mission. The owner of the armory shop said.

"Hunting baby eaters?" can the boss elaborate?"

Gu Hui was stunned for a moment, and then asked.

"It's a long story, little brother, listen to me slowly. ”

The armory shop owner groaned for a while and began to speak.

Three months ago, in Jiangzhou County, near the territory of Datang, countless peasant children disappeared overnight, causing panic and rumors, which alarmed the Jiangzhou prefect and ordered the yamen to investigate thoroughly.

After months of investigation, the head catcher found a cave with a group of bones in the territory of Datang, which was full of bones and stench, and found countless children's clothes. ”

Just as the head catcher and several of his men continued to search the cave, they were secretly attacked by a one-eyed monster who lived deep in the cave and called himself a baby eater. After the battle, the head catcher was seriously wounded and escaped, and the others all died inside.

After the head catcher fled back and reported the incident to the Jiangzhou prefect overnight, he was seriously injured and died on the spot.

The prefect of Jiangzhou was furious, and ordered someone to post a reward notice overnight, hang it at the door of the mansion, and make a promise that if anyone can kill the baby-eating ghost, he will be rewarded with 500 taels of gold and given a luxury mansion.

As soon as the news spread, many chivalrous warriors and cultivators in Chang'an City went to Jiangzhou, unveiled the notice, and then went to the territory of Datang to eliminate ghosts, but as soon as they went, there was no news.

A few days ago, the owner of this giant axe also joined the operation to conquer the baby eater, but failed, only he escaped from dozens of people, and was seriously injured, in desperation, put the axe in the shop, and told the weapon boss that if anyone takes a fancy to this weapon, as long as they kill the baby eater, they will give it directly and take nothing.

After the armory shop owner finished speaking, a trace of heaviness appeared on his face.

This axe was dropped in a battle with Chun Thirty Niang that day, and it should have been picked up by this person, and he saw the extraordinary nature of the axe, and upgraded it.

The axe has a lot of weight, and the man must have great strength, otherwise he would not be able to lift it. ”

After thinking for a moment, Gu Hui nodded and said to the boss.

"I took this task, and after completing the task, I not only want this axe, but also meet the strong man?"

"Of course, this is the notice and the map of the Baby Eater Cave, and the young man will take it. ”

The owner of the armory shop had a happy face, walked into the counter, took out a notice and a map, and handed it to Gu Hui.

"I want five more steel axes and a chain hook. ”

After Gu Hui opened the notice map and looked at it one after another, he put it in the storage ring, groaned for a while, and said to the owner of the armory shop.

"Okay, little brother, wait a minute. ”

The owner of the armory shop nodded and hurriedly ran to the back hall to prepare.

After a while, the owner of the armory shop and the two guys took out all the weapons, and the five steel axes occupied a large area, and the boss asked the guys to bring a weapon sleeve, inserted all the axes into it, and asked Gu Hui to carry it on his back.

The chain hook was wrapped around his waist, and he tightened his back to put on the weapon holster, and Gu Hui was about to pay, but was rejected by the boss.

"Little brother, the task of hunting and killing baby eaters is very important, and the weapon will be given to you, I wish you a speedy return. ”

Speaking of this, the owner of the armory shop had a complicated expression and mixed feelings in his heart.

How many people once came to the shop to buy weapons, and then went to the territory of Datang to eliminate demons, but when they left, there was no news, and they were separated from their families. This little brother is the ninety-ninth demon slayer, once he goes this time, can he come back?

Glancing at the owner of the armory shop, Gu Hui smiled, patted his stocky shoulder, turned around and walked out of the store.

The mission of the division has three days, and it is not too late to come back and do it when you get the Darkiron Giant Axe except for the baby eater.

Gu Hui called a carriage on the street, negotiated the price, and the coachman drove the horse towards the territory of Datang.

The scale of Chang'an City is quite large, and the carriage actually traveled for a day before leaving the West Gate and heading towards the territory of Datang.

After a few hours, the carriage came to a pothole, and in the distance there were some jagged rocks, ancient trees, hills of various sizes, and countless crows flying to and fro, quacking and quacking.

When the carriage drove here, the coachman said that there were man-eating monsters on the mountain, and they were no longer moving forward.

In desperation, Gu Hui got out of the car, paid the money, and walked towards a path overgrown with grass alone.

Looking at Gu Hui who disappeared in the distance, the coachman shook his head and sighed, and drove the carriage back.

Gu Hui walked along the path, and after a few hours, the half-human-tall barren grass in front of him blocked his vision.

Gu Hui pulled out two steel axes, chopped the grass and walked forward, and after walking for half a mile, the path was inclined and led straight to the mountain.

There was a slight groan not far away, and a scholar-like man was lying in the flattened grass, his hands clutching his lower abdomen, his snow-white clothes were bright red, and the ground was full of red blood.

Seeing Gu Hui coming, he saw a glimmer of hope in the scholar's portrait, his mouth moved slightly, stretched out his bloody hand, and beckoned to Gu Hui. Helplessly, the injury was too severe, the outstretched hand hung down softly, and the slightly moving mouth did not make a sound.

"Don't move, you're seriously injured now, and your life won't be guaranteed if you move again. ”

Gu Hui inserted his double axe into his back, hurriedly walked over, squatted down to check the scholar's injury, took out two large blood bottles from the storage ring, pulled out the stopper, pinched his mouth, and poured all the spiritual liquid in the bottle.

After the two bottles were filled, a hint of ruddy appeared on the scholar's pale face, and he was able to speak intermittently.

Gu Hui motioned for him not to make a sound, opened his hands, looked at a huge scratch mark in his abdomen, frowned, stretched out his hands, tore the scholar's snow-white shirt into several pieces, and wrapped them around his waist.

After the bandaging was completed, Gu Hui dragged the scholar behind a boulder next to him, leaving a few blood bottles, telling him to recuperate at ease, and without waiting for the scholar to speak, he turned around and walked along the path towards the mountain.

Looking at the disappeared Gu Hui, the scholar was full of gratitude, and after intermittently thanking him, he recuperated from his injuries with peace of mind.

Straight up the path, but saw the half-man-high grass in front of them all lying on the ground, countless corpses in different clothes lying on the ground, weapons scattered all over the ground, the more you went up, the more corpses there were, and finally the corpses piled up like a hill.

After passing through several corpse mountains, Gu Hui finally came to the entrance of the cave where the baby eater was, looking at the black and rumbling hole, Gu Hui groaned for a while, gritted his teeth, pulled out the double axe on his back, and prepared to drill into the hole.

At this moment, there was a coquettish cry from the cave, and then the figure flashed, and a petite woman with a silver snake soft whip rushed out, she followed with a long laugh, and a huge black shadow strode out, and the giant wood in his hand turned into a row of wooden shadows, and smashed straight down.
